Chapter Two

"That was stupid of us, Sakon." Miyari cursed as the two of them sat between two huge rocks. They had entered the village through a guarded top of the wall, they couldn't do anything about it but run away, they were already spotted. It was a good thing the guard didn't chase after them, if he had, Miyari would have killed him, and she wouldn't have liked it. She was only here for Tsunade. No one else.

"I'm sure they will not find us for now." Sakon tried to calm the girl but she was still restless.

"There's no telling when they'll find us," she snapped and stood up. "You head left and look for the woman. I will go in this direction. We'll meet back here after thirty minutes, understand? Be quick." The two of them went off in different directions, desperate to finish the mission right away. Some ten minutes later, Miyari stopped when she reached a small bridge. It probably led to the main part of the village where the Hokage's office might be. All she had to do now was cross that bridge and look for the Hokage monument. For sure the office would be near there.

Just as she was about to take a step, a thick chain of chakra wound around her ankles and soon had her arms bound too. "What the hell!?" She tried to look around but it turned out that she didn't need to. The silver-haired shinobi who was apparently responsible for the trap stood in front of her.

"What is your purpose for coming here?" he asked.

Miyari didn't say anything. The man fixed his one visible eye on her and just plain seemed bored. Miyari couldn't help it, so she growled, muttering obscenities to her captor. "You're lucky I'm wise enough not to waste my chakra here, you fool. You'd be in bits right now."

"Pretty heavy words from such a cute girl." The man chuckled with amusement but even when he did so, he was annoyingly serious. "I only asked what you were doing here."

"Do the people here usually do this just to ask questions?" Miyari asked, referring to the chakra rope around her. Suddenly, she melted into a puddle of mud right before the Leaf shinobi. "Because I'm not used to it." She reappeared behind the man, grinning evilly.

The man was a little startled, but he quickly composed himself then turned to face the girl. "Impressive. It seems that I underestimated you. Since you aren't willing to state your purpose, I guess I'll have to force it out of you." He lifted his forehead protector from his left eye, revealing a red pupil and a long vertical scar running down his flesh.

Hatake Kakashi? My father told me about him... but I should have no problem with him. Miyari sighed inwardly. Less than fifteen minutes and I already have a situation on my hands. "This is going to be fun. Kakashi." Her opponent didn't even flinch, he was just standing there calmly, as if he was resting. "I didn't want to harm any more than one person, but I guess one more won't hurt."

"You are so much like Orochimaru," Kakashi said. He wasn't really sure if she was who he thought she was, but it was worth a try. "Like father like daughter."

"I know." Miyari licked her lips. "Just seeing that red eye makes me want to curl my tongue around it." She was surprised that Kakashi had found out about her identity, since no one really knew that Orochimaru had a child, but she decided not to think more about it.

Kakashi's suspicions were confirmed when he saw the girl's long tongue. "Orochimaru's using you, huh?"

"I love being used." She ran a hand through her hair and smiled, preparing to fight. "Now that I think of it, I love wasting chakra, too."

"It's too bad you can't use your talent for good."

Miyari laughed. "Is that what you think you're doing? Defending your village is good? Your village is killing you, that's what." She twirled a few strands of her black hair around her forefinger. Instantly, her hair turned to mini-snakes. She looked like Medusa.

"Nice hair," Kakashi drawled. The girl had revealed what he wanted to know when she said 'Defending your village is good?'. She had unwittingly labeled herself as an enemy of the Leaf.

"Thanks. Do you know what they can do?" she asked sweetly. "Aren't they cute?"

"I'll show you what's cute." Kakashi took out a scroll and summoned his nin dogs with his blood. Dogs of every size watched Miyari intently. Suddenly, she started wheezing and coughing like mad. Her hair turned back to normal and red blotches spread all over her white skin.

"I-I'm... allergic... to... dogs—" Then she fainted.

"I suspected that Orochimaru had a daughter, but I wasn't so sure until now," Jiraiya told Tsunade and Kakashi. Kakashi had taken the girl to the Godaime's office while she was still unconscious. "Gee, she looks a lot like you, Tsunade."

The woman paled and cleared her throat. "Uh, really?" She coughed and quiclkly said, "You two go out. I'm going to check up on this girl." The two men obeyed and hung around outside the office. Tsunade locked the door and went back to the couch in the corner. The girl stirred and opened her eyes.

"Shit! Where the fck am I?" Miyari sat up and held a kunai to the neck of the woman beside her. "Who are you?"

"Relax, you should be glad you're not in prison right now. Hey, you know, I'm a little allergic to dogs, too!"

"Shut up, woman. I don't have time for nonsense talk. Who are you?"

"I am the Hokage," Tsunade said grandly with a sweep of her arm, pushing away Miyari's weapon.

The Hokage!? This is the one I'm supposed to kill! She raised a hand to strike Tsunade but it was easily caught. "Let go of me, freak."

"And what? Let you kill me?" the Hokage laughed. "If you won't cause any more trouble, I won't put you in prison." Her eyes, similar to Miyari's, twinkled with mischief.

Noon was fast approaching and still Miyari had not showed up. "Damn," muttered Sakon. "She must be in trouble. Orochimaru-sama will have my head for this."
