I Will Not Die Orochimaru vs. Orochimaru

"I will not die, I will never die, I will live forever, how horrid, eternal life just sucks, I can't even do a bit of research, no studying jutsu or sparring with the erodobe. Look at me now, I'm an immortal, what fun, now if only I could kill him…" his words resonated through his mindscape.

The place he'd been imprisoned since before he could remember. No wait it'd been thirty two years. All the same he was eighteen not fifty, it didn't help him get unstuck in his own mind.

Then there was a voice, a voice he didn't recognise, the voice of a child. "Do you want to be free?"

Silence, he knew better than to trust his vivid imagination, it tended to just lead him on a tangent of nothing. Yep no reason to trust it in the slightest, but then again did he have anything better to do.

"And I'd get that freedom how?" he laughed at the stupid idea, he was stuck, he'd never escape, after all his body was stolen by that sword, that damn living sword, Kenmaru, that blade that'd bound him as such.

A small girl of perhaps twelve years walked up to his cell, she was a cute little girl, but he wasn't a paedophile so she was just cute in a childish way, the way people call children cute without being paedophilic. She was at a guess just reaching five foot tall, her hair was reder than red, like bloody crimson light, like red fire running down her back, all the way to her hips, her bare hips he noted with confusion about the girls state of dress or lack of it, her skin was pure white, not a single mark blemished it, and he knew that she wasn't human. There were many things that proved this, the pair of red fox ears that sat atop her head and the fox tail that hung from the end of her vertebrae. Her hands had slightly clawed fingernails and her eyes, oh her eyes were stunning and anything but human. Black, red and golden, those slitted eyes were powerful but at the same time childish, He knew something big was going on and this was it.

"I'll fix you, I'll give you a new body." She responded as if it was the most sane thing in the world.

He smirked in response somehow he knew that this girl was telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He'd have his revenge, he knew he'd probably have troubles getting used to having a body again, let alone a new one. While Kenmaru was gone, he'd regain his powers, he'd heal and he'd prepare to use what he'd learnt from thirty two years trapped in this cell. In his mindscape Orochimaru grinned, the real Orochimaru grinned.

"Let's do this." he answered standing in this place.

Outside the mindscape, a lab

The white hand fell from it's position on the desk, glowing blood red like the hair of the girl who stood no more than a meter away. From the wrist of the hand, flesh, bone and skin begun to form, it was a slow process and took a number of hours. The girl stood diligently watching all the same. Her power would fade soon but she still had time to do what she saw as necessary, she didn't know why she had to do these things but she did. She watched slightly amused at the change that was occurring before her very eyes, the hand had grown into a full arm and the right hand side of a torso. Everything was going as planed, when had she made these plans? She didn't have a clue. Oh well she'd just go with it.

She sat down on a stool that was the only form of chair n the room. She watched the scene before her in boredom, it wasn't any fun watching a body grow from a hand. Nope it was too mundane for her, which is almost scary. 'Scurvy, shiver me timbers, boat, wood, log. Wait I'm getting sidetracked, what was I supposed to do again. Oh he's fixed, well kinda.'

Orochimaru was indeed fixed, kinda. He wasn't looking his best but he still looked plenty strong but not strong enough to fight Kenmaru. He was pale, more so than usual, which was just crazy, he wasn't able to move an inch of his body, expected seeing as he'd just grown out of his own hand, the same hand he'd been sealed inside for the last thirty two years. He twitched, every inch of his body was twitching, soul and body were becoming one once again. He'd have to adjust quickly, Kenmaru could show up at any second.

He honestly doubted his chances against Kenmaru, who was a full fledged Oni, nowhere near the rank of the Kyuubi but still very powerful, normal means wouldn't do a single thing to this creature, it was a good thing he'd had those thirty two years to study his opponent and plan. While he was much lesser in power, he did have one major advantage, a ninja's greatest skill, deception. He'd have a single moment in which to strike, the moment when the damn oni was vulnerable. It'd be a close call if he managed it at all and he may yet have to fight for time.

He dragged himself off the floor with extreme effort. He definitely was going to have it rought this time around but he could win, he knew it. This time he'd win. He scanned the room for the materials he needed, they were all there. A katana, a white snakeskin, chalk and most importantly blank paper and ink. He rushed to a closet to find some cloths, he took a pair of pants and a random shirt that he donned swiftly. He then grabbed the girl by the wrist.

"We can't have you walking around like that, I just hope a girl around your size lives here." Orochimaru explained as he lead the girl from the room.

As soon as he opened the door he came face to face with a young women, she was around fifteen or sixteen at a rough guess, had very large breasts…

'Erodobe! You corrupted my mind, I'll kill you for this.' he thought suddenly remembering who he was supposed to be.

"Orochimaru-sama, why the fuck are you leading a fucking little girl by the fucking hand?" She asked rudely…

Orochimaru smirked. "How exactly does this concern you? You will get this girl some clothes, and then let her do as she pleases. She is special."

With his work done Orochimaru turned around and walked back into the room he'd been in previously, as he heard the pair leave he let out a sigh of relief. He set to work making a number of seals. Then begun to set them up throughout the room in a very special formation, it'd have to do the job, if not, he was screwed. Well he was screwed before he'd been fixed by that girl, who he suspected was somehow involved with Kyuubi, no he knew she was, and she wasn't a small fry of a demon, she was the real deal at least four tails.

He knew it'd need a lot of time to charge but when it was done, the effect would end the battle, he just hopped he had enough time to get the thing fully ready. He begun to etch a sealing diagram on the ground in chalk and placed the snakeskin along with the katana in the centre of this circle. He didn't know what the result of this attempted sealing would result in, he doubted that the young vixen would stay to watch or help, she probably had lots to do. The sealing wouldn't kill him but it'd probably do a lot of damage. If this worked he'd have time, lots of time, an endless amount of time… almost.

With the girls

Tayuya didn't know what Orochimaru wanted with a little thing like this but she was defiantly cute… It occurred to her that perhaps that was why Orochimaru did want this little girl. 'Could it be that he… fuck no. Can't fucking be, he'd of fucking done something to me when I was younger if that was the fucking case… Unless he thinks I'm fucking ugly.'

"What ya thinking?" the girl asked cheerily. Her fox tail wagging behind her.

Tayuya almost laughed at her stupid idea. "Oh I was just wondering how the fuck you got that cute tail, did Orochimaru-sama make you like that?"

"No. But I fixed Oro-chan. He was stuck in a hand, did you know that, I had to grow him a body, it was so boring." she whined placing her hands behind her head.

Tayuya almost fell to the ground in shock, not only was this girl using the chan suffix on Orochimaru's name but also giving him a pet name, she really must be special if she could get away with that. Truth be told, she didn't respect Orochimaru as a person, a ninja maybe but not as a person. She hated the man and would love to see him dead. However there wasn't much that he could do against one of the legendary senin. She'd be sqashed in an instant.

"Right lets get you those bloody clothes, the storeroom should have some in your size." Said Tayuya suddenly leading the girl through the twisting corridors and into a room full of stuff.

It took them a whole hour to make their way to the clothes section, find some suitable clothes for the small girl to wear and then convince the girl to wear them. The hardest part was convincing her to wear panties and a bra, other than that it wasn't that hard, the girl had only burnt half the clothing in the storeroom. She'd finaly convinced the girl to wear a nice, blood red kimono when it occurred to her that she didn't even know this girls name.

"So what's your name? I bloody forgot to ask earlier." Tayuya questioned once again unsure why she was always so rude to everyone.

The girl looked at her as though she'd grown a second head, she wasn't the one who did that, and asked. "What's a name."

"You don't fucking know what a name is!" Tayuya screamed in shock.

The girl nodded. "Yes, I don't."

"Ah well, how the fuck do I explain this. Shit. It's like… wait didn't you fucking call Orochimaru-sama by a pet name?" Questioned the single female of the sound four.

The girl nodded. "Oh, then my name is… I don't know, what's my name, do I have one, is it cool?"

"I don't fucking know… what the fuck, I'll give you a name. Let me fucking see, hmm. Akane. That's damn right, from now on your name is Akane." Replied Tayuya loudly.

The girl tilted her head and begun to walk away. "Akane. Thankyou Tayuya-chan."

With that the girl vanished in a swirl of flames. As such Tanya didn't know weather to be awed or plain confused, Akane had just totally disappeared, what would she do. Orochimaru would surely kill her… suddenly the whole building shook as if a huge earth quake had struck. She had the strangest feeling, deep down in her gut, she knew that it most certainly wasn't an earthquake.

Many corridors away in the main hall.

Two men stood facing off, blades locked in combat, both had pasty white skin, long black hair and yellow eyes. There were some diferances however, one man simply wore a pair of pants and a t-shirt, the other wore something that was just creepy. They danced around each other exchanging blows of huge, terrifying force one of the men had silky hair while the others was frazzled like he'd just woken up.

Anyone who knew the man would state that both looked just like Orochimaru and they'd be correct in many ways, the less weirdly dressed man was indeed the same person, the original one and only Orochimaru, but one could also say that the other man was Orochimaru or at least the Orochimaru that the world knew, a vindictive, evil, malicious and cruel man. His real name was…

"Kenmaru! Prepare to die." Shouted Orochimaru.

He vanished, moving quicker than the eye could follow, a pair of snakes were attempting to wrap themselves around Kenmaru's legs but were sorely failing. As they just fell dead upon touching him.

"Oh really Orochimaru-kun, do you think that I even need to try to defeat you, I can just touch you once and it ends." Laughed kenmaru who was practically identical to Orochimaru.

'Sixty' thought Orochimaru rushing into existence behind Kenmaru and swinging to cleanly sweep the mans head off. His blade was easily stopped. Kenmaru held his sword behind his head, he spun around, pushing Orochimaru's sword upwards and firmly Kicking the man in the stomach. Orochimaru was tossed across the room like a rag doll, things seemed to actually be going okay for him, other than the fact that his stomach had started to rot. He stood with a little effort, and he knew he could win, but only if he timed it just right.

"Oh you are a tough one aren't you, you actual survived that, not bad or a human, although as you full well know I'm a three tailed rank, you can't kill me with your pathetic level of power." Kenmaru burst into laughter.

'Fourty five' Thought Orochimaru.

He tossed a single kunai at the man, and suddenly there were more than a hundred thousand in the air, Kenmaru simply clicked his figures banishing a large portion of the kunai, a cloud of smoke lingered there and kenmaru knew his mistake instantly, to believe he'd been tricked so well. He avoided a kunai to the hear by a mare moment but was still wounded, the throwing knife had embedded itself in his shoulder, as he moved to remove it, a whole stack of exploding tags that were attached to it went off.

Kenmaru emerged from the smoke of the explosion the entire right side of his body rapidly regrowing. His face spelt murder. "You dare try such a weak trick against me, I will kill you brat!"

'Thirty' Thought Orochimaru.

He ducked under a wild swing from his duplicate and struck the other man with a straight kick to his neither regions. This was a very effective tactic as it normally would take down a man without a problem but this so called man didn't even flinch, he just reached down and grasped Orochimaru's leg and tossed him aside. He was a fine example of a ninja, but Kenmaru was just insane, his pure lack of emotion wasn't just a show, he was heartless. Kenmaru followed up by attempting to skewer Orochimaru. Hi missed by a single millimetre as Orochimaru managed to lean ever so slightly to one side.

'Fifteen' thought Orochimaru.

Kenmaru picked Orochimaru up by the neck, slowly spreading a hideous green complection into the pale man's skin ad it hurt like fuck on Orochimaru's end, worse than anything he could remember, the feeling had after some time consumed him entirely. He was screwed, nothing would save him now but at least he'd have a chance to take this one down with him. Orochimaru coughed up a bit of blood as he was tossed to the floor. That was Kenmaru's ultimate mistake. Orochimaru was many things and he most certainly was stubborn, hell he'd put up with the erodobe for six years, so he wasn't about to let one itsy bitsy oni take him down.

"ZERO!" Shouted Orochimaru leaping to his feet, totally blocking out the pain that threatened to override his body and ran right at Kenmaru.

Kenmaru's face was contacted in pain, pure unrelenting pain. Orochimaru barrelled into him like a demon bull. His shoulder dug into Kenmaru's stomach, he lifted the oni up and bashed him through a wall, as they went through they entered a sealing circle witch activated as soon Akamaru was inside. Orochimaru rolled out and watched as the oni who'd ruined his whole life, was sucked into a katana once again.

Orochimaru lay there for what felt like years even if it was only a few moments. 'I won, I actual beat that damn oni. It's over, I can… no I can never go home, hell I might not even live long enough to get out of this room hehehe. Oh well maybe I'll just die happy, after all kami knew he'd done no wrong, he could rest in peace…

Elsewhere

Akane smiled as she walked down a dirt road in a far off land. Her work had been a success, she just knew it. Now for the next one…

Crazy: And so Orochimaru redeems himself in death, how poetic, now that he's out of the way we can make much more sense or none at all. this was very important.
