Shibo was preparing a couple bags. In one, she packed bandages, surgical instruments and various requirements for health. The other, she was packing some bandages, but mostly sweets. She giggled, and stuck a note into the treat-filled bag. Shibo turned to see Kabuto and Kimimaro in the doorway. Kabuto shook his head,

"Shibo-sama, I don't think 30 pounds of candy will do any good on this mission-"

"B-but Kabuto! It's a special kind of candy I made!" Shibo pouted, and looked down.

"Shibo-sama, I don't care if you made it yourself, he doesn't need…it…" Shibo was clinging to Kabuto's sleeve, and whimpering. Kimimaro laughed, and hugged Shibo from behind.

"I think she put enough energy supplements in it to give me energy to fight." Shibo nodded, and held his arm. Kabuto groaned in disgust, and took the two packs. He handed the candy- and chocolate-filled one to Kimimaro, and left to outside to where Orochimaru was waiting. Shibo whimpered at Kimimaro as he tried to leave.

"Don't leave me here, that pervert might come back…" Kimimaro froze, and then turned to her. He gave her a seal.

"If you even see him, use this. It'll transport you to wherever I'm at. That way you'll be under my protection and he won't harm you…" He kissed her forehead. She kissed his chin, and hugged him tightly.

"Stay healthy, okay?" Kimimaro nodded, and lifted Shibo's chin.

"I will be, so when I return, we can go out somewhere, like a dinner…" He released her chin, and walked out to where Kabuto and Orochimaru were. Shibo watched them as they left the village.

Shibo sat on the dock on the lake. She focused on every sound she could hear, a bird calling, shouting from the village, and even…

Shibo stood up, and ran off to the front gate. Kabuto was carrying Kimimaro on his back, Orochimaru carrying all the packs. Shibo opened the gate, and Kabuto ran inside. Shibo looked at Orochimaru with tears in her eyes. Orochimaru hugged Shibo.

"We need to talk, you and I…" Shibo sniffled, and looked up at him. Orochimaru walked over to a bench under a couple trees, and Shibo followed. She sat in his lap.

"What's wrong, father? I-is he alright?"

"He's very sick. We fear it's something genetic, but we don't have a clue." Shibo whimpered loudly. Orochimaru held her tightly,

"It could simply be a common ailment. It's serious, but it's curable…and…" Shibo looked at him.

"Yes, father?"

"How much do you love him?" Shibo blushed. She looked down, then away. Orochimaru shook his head.

"Shibo, I need you to do a favor…" Shibo looked at him, and tilted her head a bit.

"I need you to stop whatever kind of intimate relationship you two are having. If something does happen to him, you'll just suffer more." Shibo got off of his lap, glaring at him. Her ears were flat against her head,

"You want me to do what?" Orochimaru stood up.

"I want you two to only be friends. You're lucky that I'll let you two remain friends." Shibo backed away from him.

"You can't tell me who I can or can't love…"

"Oh yes I can, little girl. You're still so young and inno-" Shibo slapped Orochimaru across the face.

"I'M NOT AS INNOCENT AS ANYONE MY AGE! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT CAUSE YOU'RE A TERRIBLE FATHER!" Shibo ran off, crying. Orochimaru stood frozen. Then he looked at the spot where Shibo was. He sat back down on the bench, those four words going though his head.

"Am I…a terrible…father…?"

Shibo was crying on a bench in front of the lake. She could never think of bringing herself to do anything like that. She felt someone hug her gently, and she turned. Kuromaru kissed her cheek softly.

"Why are you crying, my Shibo~?" Shibo hissed lowly.

"Get off of me, or I'll scream." Kuromaru held on tighter.

"Now, now. I sensed you crying, so I wanted to see what was wrong. It looks like Kimimaro can't hide his secret anymore…" Shibo glared at Kuromaru.

"What secret?" Kuromaru covered her lips.

"I won't say, shouldn't he tell you himself?" Shibo nodded, and Kuromaru let go of her. Shibo stood up, and went inside. Kuromaru smiled softly.

"Kimimaro, she will be mine once Death grips you in its clutches…" He chuckled, and vanished into the wind.

Shibo looked in on Kimimaro. He was awake, but looked ill. Shibo walked over to him,

"K-kimi-kun…" She couldn't help but start crying. She ran into his arms, sobbing. Kimimaro held her as tight as he could.

"Sh-Shibo…are you alright…?" Shibo shook her head, and curled up in his lap.

"I…I…I…I…" Kimimaro held her tightly.

"Tell me, or else I'll worry…"

"I love you…I love you so much, why s everyone saying I can't love you?" Kimimaro sighed.

"Do what your father sa-" Shibo looked up at him, she shook her head, and yelled out. Kimimaro held her tightly, rocking back and forth.

"Shibo-sama, you should let Kimimaro rest…" Kabuto was standing in the door. Shibo looked at him, and growled lowly. Kimimaro smiled softly,

"Let her rest here…she just needs someone…" Kabuto shook his head.

"Orochimaru-sama's orders…" Kimimaro looked at Shibo, and let go of her. Shibo started crying more. Kabuto grabbed Shibo, and threw her to the wall. She landed in a thud, and ran off up to her room. Kimimaro glared at Kabuto.

"I'll tell Orochimaru-sama about that…" Kabuto smirked at him.

"Only if you can, Kimimaro…"

For the next three days, Shibo remained locked up in her room. Orochimaru waited patiently for her, willing to apologize. But, when Shibo emerged from her room at last, she ignored her father completely. She looked like she didn't see him, as though he was non-existant. Finally, Orochimaru snapped. He grabbed Shibo's arm tightly.

"Listen to me, you little brat! You do what I tell you to, or you can go back on the streets and die!" Shibo looked at him.

"Fine, I will…" Shibo got freed from his grasp, and walked outside bare-footed. Hebi watched Shibo, then stopped her.

"Master, where are you going…?"

"Father wants me gone, so be it. I have to do anything he says, right…?" Shibo walked past her, crying. Hebi watched Shibo, then glared at Orochimaru.

"What did you say to her?" Orochimaru walked out past Hebi and over to Shibo. Shibo turned and was met by a hard slap to her cheek. She fell to the ground, looking up at her father and crying.

"Get back inside, you'll get sick soon…" Shibo teared up, and ran inside. Orochimaru punched a tree, cursing out. Hebi walked over to him, and held his fist.

"Enough, you get inside too, and I'll make tea." Orochimaru nodded, and went inside as well.

"Feh…won't you agree humans are pathetic?" Kuromaru stood in front of Hebi. She jumped back.

"Y-you…! Kimimaro-sama told me about you…!" Hebi spat at Kuromaru. He shook his head,

"Her father made her cry…" Hebi sighed.

"I know…why do you care, anyways?"

" Because I love Shibo." Hebi growled.

"I don't believe you…" Kuromaru's brow rose.

"Oh? One day, my dear, I shall prove it. And one day, when Kimimaro is gone, Shibo will come to me for love. I will give her that love…"

Shibo walked down a dark hall, a katana in her hand. She wore a Lolita-style red dress, and her eyes glowed a red. She entered a large room full of prisoners. She smiled evily.

"ichibanme ARISU wa isamashiku ken o katate ni, fushigi no kuni. (The first Alice bravely entered Wonderland, sword in hand.)" Someone tried to hit her over the head, but missed badly. Shibo sliced at them, ending their life. The crowd jumped her.

"ironna mono o kirisutete, makka na michi o shiite itta. (Cutting down countless creatures, she left a bright red path in her wake.)" She sliced through each person who was in the room. Orochimaru was watching her from above. He sighed,

"She's such a perfect killing machine…" Kabuto watched as well.

"That is just like the Uirusu, right?" Orochimaru nodded.

As all the prisoners laid on the ground, dead, their blood soaking into the cold purple tiles, Shibo walked over to the door. She tried to open it, and growled.

"Sonna ARISU wa, mori no oku. (That Alice is in the forest)" Shibo turned to the only man now standing: Kimimaro. He held his bone sword and got into a stance.

"Don't forget, Kimimaro. Don't hold back, cause she surely won't." Kimimaro nodded.

"tsumibito no you ni tojikomerarete.( Locked away like a criminal.)" Shibo ran at Kimimaro. Kimimaro ran at Shibo, and blades clashed. Shibo smiled evilly, her face and dress covered in blood.

"mori ni dekita michi igai ni(Aside from the path she made in the forest)" Shibo jumped back, looking at all of the blood as a cell-like cage surrounded her. She gripped the bars.

"kanojo no sei o shiru sube wa nashi.( there is no sign that she existed.)" Shibo's eyes turned back to normal. She looked around, and smiled.

"Only in ten minutes? Father, aren't I improving?"

"Yes, now, that takes care of spring cleaning…" He pulled up a chain, and let Shibo out of the cage. She looked at Kimimaro, then at her dress.

"Ugh…I'm bloody, aren't I…?" She looked up, grinning nervously. Kimimaro laughed, and nodded.

"But, it's hard to tell because of the color that dress is…" Kabuto jumped down between the two, checking Shibo. She was fine, and they all knew Kimimaro was in near-perfect shape. Shibo took Kimimaro's hand, and ran off into the dark hallway.
