THINGS HAPPENING TO…
OROCHIMARU
It wasn't a particularly good day for Orochimaru… he had just made a big mistake and he was fully conscious that the consequences might not bode well for him, so he decided to flee from the Forest of Death as soon as possible. The planned invasion be damned! He couldn't stay there, knowing the horrible mistake he'd done…!
"I knew I should've listened to what my horoscope said…!" grumbled the snake Sannin shaking his head dejectedly. "… 'Look out for random prodigy kids throwing themselves in your path'… it was right…"
Arriving at the outer edge of Konoha's forest within one hour, Orochimaru waited for Kabuto to finally realize he was nowhere to be found: like hell he was going to tell the guy himself, least he thought he really cared for him – sure, Kabuto was a valuable spy but he had the disturbing habit of putting words in his mouth that the older shinobi would never say to him, no matter how sick and twisted the Sannin was.
Orochimaru thought back on that time he told Kabuto it was almost time to change body… the expression on Kabuto's face had made even the snake-lover ninja shudder internally (of course he couldn't let his subordinates see him get disturbed by his personal medic/spy) and he vowed on killing himself rather than ending up having to take Kabuto's body as his own.
"Orochimaru-sama…" the leer and the attempt on making a 'come-hilter' voice was impossible to confuse; the Sannin mentally shuddered again.
"Kabuto. We're going away from here, immediately." he ordered.
"How come…? What about the invasion?"
"Never mind that…" at the blank look on Kabuto's face, Orochimaru got irritated. "I've changed my mind ok?!"
"… As you wish… Orochimaru-sama." yet another shudder.
"Plus… my aim is terrible today… I hit the wrong target in the Forest of Death…"
"Oh, is that so? What do we do then…?"
"Hope the wrongly cursed one doesn't get any ideas…!"
With that, the two hurried towards Otogakure, where the currently used hideout was located.

The snake Sannin, though, since arriving 'home' had been experiencing the longest goose bumps phase ever recorded: two entire weeks of having that feeling was making his experiments difficult – keeping the instruments in a trembling hand didn't do good when you had to cut the specimen into very small pieces…
Finally tired and pissed at his own body, Orochimaru had decided to do something for those goose bumps when Kabuto made his appearance inside the laboratory.
"Orochimaru-sama…" he said, leer ever-present. "A visit for you. He's waiting in your room…" the Sannin didn't like the emphasis on the 'he'.
"And who would that be, eh?" he answered narrowing his yellow eyes.
"He said something about you having been waiting for him to arrive…" Kabuto's voice had taken on a dangerous tone, making another shiver run down his master's back.
"……" Orochimaru didn't answer. The gears inside his brain were working quickly – waiting for this someone to arrive? He didn't remember an appointment with anyone… who could this be?? After two minutes or so, the snake-lover's eyes widened, realization dawning on him. "Oh dammit! Don't tell me that stupid kid came here?!"
"… Well, he is a young boy…" Kabuto said, almost envious. "What's wrong with that?"
"Oh fuck!… This is what I was fearing!!" Orochimaru stared to pace the room, his hands pulling at his hair in distress. "I wanted the girl! The GIRL!!! Why, out of the three of them, it was HIM to jump in front of me first?!?!?! I HATE REVENGE-OBSESSED KIDS!! Especially Uchiha revenge-obsessed kids, dammit!!!"
10 things you'll never hear coming from: Orochimaru
1) "You don't understand!… It's not me who copied Michel Jackson; it's the other way round!!"
2) "Ashsssakassssaaa…!" [trying to speak Parseltongue]
3) "Gyyyaaaaa!! Heelllppp" [running in circle to escape the enraged snake: he ended up insulting its mother]
4) "I love little girls!! They're so cute!"
5) "What? I've never inappropriately touched a boy in my life! I don't understand where you'd get something like that!" [kindly suggested by A.D. Williams: thanks :D]
6) "Kabuto, I think you're freaking crazy: quit following me around! You're creeping me!!" [shuddering internally]
7) "Why?! Who?! How come I've gotta wear this awful kimono-thing?!?! Am I not ugly enough…?!"
8) "Oh! Look, Sasuke-kun, I'm paler than you!!" [taunting Sasuke]
9) "OMFG!!! I'm out of purple eyeliner!!!!!!" [frantically searching]
10) "I wouldn't exchange my body for nothing in the world."
