Tora's eyes snapped open as her senses detected another powerful chakra near hers. She was about to reach for her trusty kunai when she realized her situation- lying nude in bed with another body pressed against hers. She had to hide her expression of disgust and shame forcefully as she carefully lifted the red velvet covers off her body and attempted to leave. She realized it too late, though- a set of arms was locked firmly around her waist. She fell gracelessly back down, awakening her partner who roughly tightened his grip of her.
"Where are you going, Tora-chan?" the voice asked mockingly, and the person buried their face in Tora's hair. "You seemed to want to leave."
"Itachi-sama," Tora said, blushing a painfully red hue and closing her eyes in guilt, "I was intending to leave." Her heart felt heavy, her head spun. How did she let this happen? She felt so. dirty. It all came back to her. Aosuzu-sama had said cruel things about her behind her back, and Itachi-sama had comforted her in her tears. She wanted to make it up to him. that was how this happened. Tora gritted her teeth and fought back the hot tears that welled in the back of her eyes.
"Please let me go, Itachi-sama," Tora pleaded. Itachi looked down at her in annoyance.
"Why? Maybe I like having another body in such tight quarters with mine," Itachi commented coldly.
"Then ask Kisame! I'm sick of it!" Tora yelled violently, wrenching free of Itachi's grasp viciously and dashing out of the room, nimbly grabbing her cloak with her toe and swinging it up to her arms as she ran out of the bedroom. Itachi, surprised somewhat, stared after the girl even after she disappeared from sight. With a sigh, he flopped back down on the mattress and looked up at the ceiling. He felt. full somehow. Maybe sex will do that to a man.
Tora flung herself down onto her bed, a heavy stream of tears pouring from her eyes. How could she have been so foolish? Just because she had felt so helpless and lost last night did not mean she should go running around like some tramp, like a common cheap prostitute! Sobbing brokenly, she carefully picked at the small change of clothes that lay on her floor, securing her cloak around her body so that the onyx fabric obscured her skin. Reaching into her discarded ninja pack and wiping her tears away, though still crying dryly, she retrieved the scroll given to her by Aosuzu, sent by Orochimaru. What would that bastard want with her?
With an angry, low growl, Tora unfurled the scroll- decorated oddly with purple snakes on a blood red background with silver trim- and began to read the spidery, thin handwriting.
Dearest Tora-chan,
As you have heard, I have deflected from the Akatsuki to begin my own village- the Hidden Sound. I will not be long in my letter despite my desires to write for days- I invite you to join my village.
When- and if- you deflect from the Akatsuki, I am willing to provide you with lodging in my palace and give you the position as Anbu captain. You are a fellow sage, and quite capable of surviving on your own as you have for so long, but I still beseech you to accept my offer.
You have unbelievable talents for one so young. You were quite a match for me when I tested you, and one with that ability is a true diamond in the rough. Tora-chan, we are kindred spirits. We are so very alike, each of us with amazing abilities and the power to rule. We both have frightful pasts and undermining companions, why do we not simply join forces?
I quite understand if you wish to remain with Itachi-sama and Kisame- sama, as they are mentors for your ability. Please, though, consider my offer. If you wish to accept, my village lies to the northeast of the Konohagakure, or you can simply ask any ninja you may cross paths with that has a forehead protector with a musical note engraved on it. Even if you reject, however, I would like to hear from you.
Affection always,
Orochimaru
