-Prologue to 'Moonlight Serenade' a SakonxOC fic.-
She'd started out as a simple suboordinate. Used as a replacement for the bedridden Kimimaro; a last resort for the protection of Orochimaru. She was strong, stronger than any of the other Sound Four. Still, she was assigned to guard Lord Orochimaru, while the other four 'elite' Sounds went out and fought the enemies and intruders. This was supposedly because he thought if someone was strong enough to defeat the Sound Four, they'd still have to go through her to kill him.
Hoshiwa Kamizaku was her name. She was a skinny, frail looking young girl with short, white-and-red hair. And she could, and would, kill anyone who opposed her or threatened her master, whether they be friend or foe. Her fraility seemed nothing more than a genetic trait, and completely hid the true strength lying within her body.
She wasn't exactly fond of Orochimaru, though. She fought for him, but only because he had given her a place and purpose to live. That snakey personality gave her shivers, but at least she was finally able to put her strengths to use.
She didn't like Kidoumaru or Jiroubou, for her own reasons. Kidoumaru always cheated at Go, and Jiroubou always ate everything she saved for herself in the fridge. She usually got revenge by poisoning Jiroubou's food or stabbing Kidoumaru with one of his own arrows. Yes, she was a mean little shit.
She and Tayuya weren't the best of friends, but they were on far better grounds with each other than with Kidoumaru and Jiroubou. After all, now that Tayuya wasn't the only girl in the elite Sound ninja, she finally had someone to hang out with other than the other Sound Four members.
As far as Hoshiwa, Sakon and Ukon were concerned, they were probably the closest friends, and the worst enemies. She was better friends with Sakon than with Ukon, but even that seemed strained at times. One minute she was laughing with them, the next she was slamming him into the refrigerator trying to rip his throat out. Still, she did care about them, especially Sakon.
For her, Kimimaro wasn't really anything special. He was strong; stronger than she was, and she aknowledged that. She couldn't say they were friends, because she rarely ever saw him except when Kabuto was out and she had to watch him in the hospital wing. She felt sorry for the guy, but thats about as far as it went.
And as for the rest of the ninjas in Sound village, well, she never paid much attention to them. They weren't of much concern to her, and as far as she was concerned, they were far weaker than she or any of Orochimaru's other bodyguards. She respected them, and was polite to them, if she was in a good mood.
She was supposed to be a simple suboordinate; a bodyguard. But as time passed, she became closer to the Sound Four, and changed the lives of those around her.
Her story begins here.
