"The Kiss Of A Snake"
Gaining the kiss of a snake is a difficult thing.
It took the Uchiha prodigy over a year; a frustrating and pridefully hurtful trial.
Manda was a teeth-gratingly stubborn and moody bastard, who unfortunately wasn't someone Sasuke could ever seem to see eye to eye with. Months passed before the teen could even get the great purple git to look at him.
Sometimes it was all he could do not to howl in frustration, and it didn't help that Orochimaru was becoming impatient too.
When the day finally came for Sasuke to become heir to the snake summons, he was half-sure that the snake of judgement would reject him.
Sitting in that dim light, cross-legged with his teeth pressed together, Sasuke was sure Orochimaru knew something he didn't. The sennin was smirking to himself, in an overly infuriating manner, with some hidden knowledge that Sasuke wasn't privy to.
The moment came, and only acceptance came with it.
A flash of sharp teeth, a splash of blood.
A scar that would not fade.
A bite of approval.
A snake's kiss.
