Yo! For a while I'mm most likely only be able to upload and write stories on the weekends! Sorry for such a long wait!


Rynai POV


The air is humid, and with the sun beating down on me so it seems I can't cease my irregular breathing as I crouch and put my head between my knees. My arms hang limply on the ground at my sides, made useless by the teen in front of me.

A Otogakure forehead protector reflects the glaring sun. His gray hair is kept up in a ponytail and black eyes are hiding behind circular glasses resting on his nose. He's wearing a dark purple shirt over a white undershirt and a white obi is around his waist, worn at an angle. He has dark purple pants n' fingerless gloves which match his shirt, blue sandals and a shuriken holster on his right leg. Three guesses who it is. Yep you got it, Orochimaru's lackey. Kabuto Yakushi.

I wipe beads of sweat off my brow with my shoulder, seeing how my hands are useless from his Chakra scalpel, he assumes it's safe and does the same. A sadistic grin spreads over his face as he pushes his glasses into their rightful place on the bridge of his nose. That is, until they shatter and fall to the ground. It's my turn to grin at him. Got him once! He reaches into his shuriken holster making me tense, ready to defend myself... Until he simply pulls another pair of glasses out and puts them on.

My smile disappears as my eyebrow twitches, and I stand to my full height of 4'10 (yes.. I've grown an INCH!) then manage, somehow, to put my hands in my pants pockets but slouch into a lazy position. Sasuke should be leaving to join Orochimaru any time now. I sigh.

Have you ever wanted something so much that you would do anything to get it? But at the same time, you have doubts about the entire idea? You're so worried on what would or could happen if you got it? I think that's how Sasuke really feels about this whole 'I'll join the pedo-snake to gain power then kill him' idea. I sigh again.

Over the past week, My hair has dulled even more.. It's turning snow white. So much for the bleach prank I thought Naruto set up! My first thought was "NOEZZ! I'M GETTING OLD!" but, don't be mistaken! It's turning SNOW white, not GRAY! My eyes too. They turned Naruto's blue, but then turned to what Kumiko started to call Ash mauve after noticing them.

Yesterday I 'ditched' Kumiko in the Village of cloth soon after she gave me the cloak by slipping her a sleeping drug into her rare cup of coffee. Then wrote a note telling her to return to the village and inform Tsunade of my 'defection'. To bad they'll be busy with Sasuke!

"Why are you here?" I'm brought back to reality when Kabuto opens his mouth, only to spew out those 'camp' sounding words. No way will I become one of his cadavers!

"I want to join Orochimaru." His eyes widen slightly at the thought.

"Why...? How do I know you are not a spy for the leaf?" I shrug, then put on my best sadistic smirk.

"I have left Konoha." He snickers at the simple reply. "And plus," He looks up, "You have no idea whether or not I will turn on Orochimaru as his body begins to degrade." Kabuto's eyes narrow before her turns to walk toward the small structure barely visible from above ground.

"Come then, we will see what lord Orochimaru thinks." I mental twitch thinking of that Pedo-snake looking me over. Gross!

I dodge poison arrows, run through flying spikes, kill a few Chimeras, cut off some snake heads, and dodge nearly having Kabuto rip my head off from singing 'Banana Phone' over, and over, and OVER again while heading to Orochimaru's chambers.

"Will you PLEASE be quiet?" I stop singing, but begin humming it as Kabuto opens enormous stone doors, revealing a pale skinned, yellow eyes creeper.

"Ahh.. Kabuto.." His golden gaze flicks to me, then back to four-eyes. "Who is thissss-"

"OH MY GOD YOU REALLY DO SOUND LIKE A SNAKE!" I yell, absolutely amazed while TRYING to point an accusing finger at the main antagonist of the Naruto series.

"Don't show such rude behavior-" Orochimaru starts to laugh;

"Kukuku, he has spirit... What are you here for.. boy?" I try to point to myself, but fail as my arms just fall to my sides.

"Names Rynai Akaigami! Nice to meet you pe- I mean Orochimaru." He raises an eyebrow, "I want to join your little cult of freaks!" The room is silent for a bit, before he laughs again.

"Well.. How would you like to go fetch the most recent member of our.. little cult' as you called it?" I.. yet again, TRY to pump my hands into the air.

"Yeah! Okay I'll do it! Just point me where!" Kabuto sighs as Orochimaru 'kukuku's' again.

"Konoha." My head snaps back to him. I'M going to get Sasuke? His little soon-to-be-supposed-se-

"Yes Orochi-chan!" Kabuto goes to attack me, but I duck and roundhouse kick him into the stone wall on my right. "Tootles!" I feel like I just followed one of my more.. basic quotes of life. "Tell the truth and run like hell!"... but of course, I have to change it to "Roundhouse Kabuto in the face and hope he doesn't turn me into a human hedgehog in my sleep!"


A blinding light makes me stop on the top of a tall pine tree on the Sound side of the the 'Valley of the End'. My guess is I just missed Sasuke and Naruto attacking each other with Rasengan and Chidori. Both of my arms are still slightly paralyzed from Kabuto's attack, so I'm simply waiting in the tree's for Sasuke to come over. Fenryn has been sleeping around my neck for some time, making it seem like he's a 4 foot long scarf!

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, Sasuke limps toward Orochimaru's hideout. He doesn't even notice my presence as he mumbles promises to himself. I let the rain soak my body as unseen tears are shed.

"Hey Sasu-chan, what's shakin' mah man?" His head snaps up, Sharingan activated, but faltering.

"R..Rynai?" I nod, jump from the pine tree and slide under his arm to support his weight, damn he's heavy! "I thought you dis- Did Orochimaru send you?" I smirk up at him.

"Yep. As soon as I got to his hide out he had the gull to send me straight back to Konoha for you." As we trudge forward on the journey to Orochimaru, Kakashi's chakra sparks.. but he's with my most trusted friend.


Kumiko POV


Kakashi lifts Naruto onto him back and turns to leave when a sudden spike in Chakra catches my attention.

"Rynai is out there.." I whisper, making Naruto's eyes snap open and Kakashi turn to me.

"Your positive?" I nod. The demon that found it's way inside of Rynai has a distinctive signature I memorized during her training. Sasuke is with her to say the leased.

"We cannot go after them Kakashi. Naruto will die if we don't get him treated soon." Not even a slight hint in hesitation as he moves, Kakashi dashes off toward Konoha with me on his heels.

"Do not worry Naruto. Rynai will mend the bonds he's broken, and gain the ability to protect whom he cherishes.." Despite her strong will and personality, Rynai will change over time. "Hopefully for the better.." I mumble as I look up at the cloud covered sky.. I will see you again, Airyn Sarutobi.
