Mission 1 (part 3)

~two months later~

Kyou (Rin) POV:

"Kyou! It is time to go to school! Wake up!" shouted my friend, Jun, from outside. I grunted and sat up rubbing my eyes. Then I looked out my window and saw him outside with Ai, Saki, Kirito, and Yuki. Jun had a light shade of brown hair that came down calmly just past his ears with dark as night blue eyes and wore dark tan shorts with a white shirt. He was my first friend here at the Sand Village. Ai had Dark blue hair that had lighter blue ends that fall past her shoulders with forest green eyes and wore very light green that almost looked white shirt and tan shorts.

Saki had dark brown hair that went just past her ears in layers with red-ish brown eyes and she wore a brown shirt with light tan shorts. Kirito had almost black brown hair with dark sea blue eyes and wore dark tan shirt with black shorts. Lastly, Yuki had light sand color hair that almost looked blond as it reached her shoulders in stubborn curls with light green eyes and wore a light pink shirt and tan shorts. Jun was a loud mouth that wasn't often serious where Kirito was calm and quiet with a bit of jerk attitude. Ai was quiet but definitely a genius and very kind. Saki is not loud but also not quiet and is kind. Yuki is similar to Jun in loud but is a mix in serious and not that made you question her sanity a bit.

I opened it and shouted out to them, "I'll be out in two minutes!" I closed it then got dressed in beige short sleeve shirt and black shorts over mesh pants. I ran a brush through my hair and grabbed the lunch I made yesterday as I ran out the door with my bag. I slipped on my ninja saddles that were a gift from Kabuto to help with the weather adapting and went outside yelling "bye" to the empty house as I locked the door. I had finished the roll for breakfast before turning around and smiled at my friends as I went over to them. "Kyou, there is no way you can be a ninja, if you can't wake up early and without someone telling you too," said Jun as we started walking. I shrugged as I said, "I don't want to be a ninja anyway. I am more than happy working at your dad's shop, Jun."

This made everyone smile and Jun look at me a long moment before saying, "I want to be a ninja. It means leaving this village to do missions and being able to fight battles instead of being ignorant." Jun's statement made everyone flinch, but I shrugged. I replied, "You may be able to leave the village and fight in battles, but you will probably miss the relaxing lifestyle we have, and, in our ignorance, there is at least a little peace." Jun shrugged, and we continued on to school chatting about little things we have been noticing recently. Me and the girls chatted about the latest drama of crushes of other friends and our favorite shops. Kirito threw in a few comments here and there, but Jun kept silent obvious thinking about other things. We were in class as I thought about my 'friends' and barely paying attention to the lesson.

I think Jun would make a great ninja, but then he may become my enemy. I have yet to be truly close with them for I must keep some distance even if it doesn't look that way. Sigh. This mission is a bittersweet one, for if given the order I'd probably help Kabuto kill everyone. If I was not used to having nothing to do I'd probably be unable to stand this mission. I'm lucky that I have to keep a constant barrier around me to keep my chakra levels hidden and my true scent hidden as well. I have to tweak it every once in a while, and keep a constant small amount of chakra to feed it.

I felt someone looking at me but in a curious gaze, so I ignored it, but I have a feeling it was Jun. The lessons went on and it was stuff I already knew so I didn't really pay much attention. When it was lunch we sat together and Jun stared out the window silently. Saki and Yuki kept trying to steal and tried to exchange some of their food for mine. I smiled and said, "Sorry, but Nii-san made this for me. There is no way I'm giving it away." They froze and nodded understanding that but grumbled a little about Kabuto spoiling me too much even if we fight so much.

It was on the way home that everyone was worried, for Jun wasn't the type to be quiet for so long. I slowed to walk beside him and asked, "Jun, Why are you quiet and scowling in random directions? Are you ok?" He didn't stop looking in the current direction, but he said to me quietly, "There are ninja following us around and watching us." I didn't even try to look but said, "Oh. Don't worry about them. They won't harm us and probably only watch us." Jun turned quickly to look at me as if I grew another head. I shrugged as I continue to say, "They have been following and watching me since I first came to this village. Nii-san pointed them out to me once. There's nothing I can do to make them stop or even get near one to talk so I figured I'd ignore them. Maybe we can pull some pranks on them together." Jun looked shocked then laughed loudly. It made everyone smile and we join the others who were talking about how classes are boring and that they look forward to graduation that is in about two months from now.

The next day we were at the park when my friends started running again. I turned to look, and my eyes met Gaara's. I couldn't help but keep looking as Jun pulled me away. Once we all caught our breathes we all went home, except Jun who walked me home. I unlocked the door when Jun said, "Why are you not scared by that monster?" I turned to him in surprise. He was smiling like usual, but in a more calm and serious way. I took a moment before replying with a confused shrug, "I don't feel scared by him. I think it's because I wasn't ever here when he did terrible things and because I don't feel the creepy feeling of him wanting to kill me as you do from him." Jun nodded accepting my answer with a bigger smile then left with a wave while yelling back, "See you tomorrow!" I waved then shrugged as I went inside.

There was someone here and from what I can tell it is Kabuto. I still pretended I didn't notice him as I dropped my bag by the couch and went into the kitchen to make a snack. Kabuto came down and sat in the blind spot from outside. I threw a sandwich at him which he caught with ease. I had another on my plate and one half gone with a bite in my mouth. "You eat a lot more since we came here. I would think your appetite was not something that changed over the time I've known you," said Kabuto while he stared.

I finished the bite in my mouth before replying with, "I didn't trust the food you made me. I still don't but I prepared this myself, so I know for a fact that it is safe to eat." This made him frown and sigh before saying, "You still don't trust me or Orochimaru-sama." I shrugged and said, "There is no such thing as a good person in this world, especially ninjas. Also considering the fact that you don't trust me either makes it, so I don't feel guilty for not trusting you." He looked surprised then put up his cold mask again as he said, "We know little about you and you won't answer our questions. How can we trust you? How can we accept you if tell us nothing, if you hide everything from us?"

I looked him, stared into his eyes as I said, "Every ninja knows to keep knowledge about themselves secret even from those of their village and command. Besides, trust and acceptance goes both ways, right? The only difference between our situations are that I don't ask questions and don't go looking for answers that could get me killed. You should know since Orochimaru-sensei is obvious a very dangerous person and I live in a hideout outside the village he 'belongs' to. You keep everything about you a secret as well." His face was in complete shock and I walked away with the rest of my food into my room to do the village school homework. After I finished I sighed as I laid on my bed.

I should not have done that, but there is only so much I can take before biting back. I hope he noticed the warning in my words and it keeps him from meeting her. For now, I will continue as best as I can. Beside Orochimaru already knows I'm stronger than I show since the 'sparring' test. I'm sure he has already figured out a lot and only needs to find out who I am and why I was kept prisoner. Kabuto sure is slow if he didn't realize how strong I am and gotten since then. At least I showed him I'm not stupid and that I won't just trust them.

I fell asleep after eating my other sandwich, but woke to a tapping on my window. I went to it and opened it only for some sand to come inside with the cold night breeze. I looked at the sand as it sat on my floor as if it really was blown in by the breeze. I closed the window and moved the curtain to hide my room from my watchers' views. I sat on the floor as I created a barrier and said, "You do realize that Kabuto might notice you, let alone the ninjas outside if you come into my room, right?" The sand formed words that read, "If you were outside, I wouldn't need to come into your room." I rolled my eyes as I sighed. I strengthened my barrier to mask smells then pulled out a kunai and cut my hand.

I let the blood drip onto the sand and then healed it as if it never happened. My blood seemed to disappear a moment after touching the sand. The sand shift to form a heart that pulsed which made me chuckle. I put my hand down on it and added a small amount of chakra to the sand. The sand froze then took in the chakra happily. The two chakras mixed, and I felt relaxed and safe. Something I haven't felt for a long time. I sighed as I notice Kabuto coming. The sand was waiting at the window and I opened it a crack to let it out before dropping my barrier. The scent of blood had been sucked into the sand as it did with my blood and the sand was warmer to the touch now. There was a knock on my door and I closed the window before opening the door.

Kabuto stood there frowning and it took some of my self-control not to slam the door in his face. Before for I let myself do it anyway he said quietly, "I felt we have grown closer since you came to be my student and over the time we spent on this mission. Orochimaru-sama trusts you or he would not have let you leave the base. I trust you not to kill me or betray me." I took a moment to understand his words and replied, "Orochimaru-sensei can kill me at any time and under his threat I can't harm or betray you without help of someone who matches his strength or is stronger than him. If we truly gotten closer than why do I know nothing more about you then I did when I first became your student? I trust no one and probably never will. There has been no reason to trust you or Orochimaru-sensei besides the fact that both of you want to use me for whatever it is you want. What will happen to me, once you have all the answers to your questions Kabuto? Once you and Orochimaru have your answers you will kill me or keep me prisoner just like the others. Would you answer these questions and trust the people who are only training you and teaching you to benefit themselves for a purpose you have yet to figure out?" Then I slammed the door in his face and lay on the bed with unsettling thoughts to which the only relief is once sleep took me once more.

Is what I thought as I opened the door, but Kabuto had his cold mask on. He said, "I am going to be on a few missions for the next four days. Keep an ear out for more information and be ready to give a report once I return. This mission is going well so far, but do not feel safe until we are back at the hideout." I nodded, and he patted my head with a smile keeping up the image of a brother telling his sister to not stay out late while he is away since my curtain was still open. He left locking the front door as I laid down once more staring into the darkness of the night before falling asleep once more.

I felt more on edge when I woke up the next morning. Jun and the others won't be here for hours seeing as I woke up at five thirty in the morning as I always have. I put a barrier around me just in case they had ninjas outside watching me sleep and pulled out some scrolls I brought with me from the hideout and read through them a bit. They were about the some jutsu that had elemental principles which were mostly wind or water. I had hoped to learn more jutsu and I have asked Orochimaru gave several scrolls to study. This is one of the ways that showed that he knew that I was stronger then I showed. I laid down to sleep to recover some more chakra and slept until Jun started yelling again to get up.

There was no difference in Jun that made it seem that we were pretending we didn't have that conversation last night. I was more than happy to pretend that and at lunch Jun suggested that we try pranking the 'stalker' ninjas as dubbed by my friends. I was more than happy to do it and so we talked about it all through lunch. Jun suggested we rid buckets to spill smelly water on them. Ai suggested that we make the roofs slippery with oil or something. Saki and Yuki suggested that we make them chase us around the village for messing up the tower with dead insects. We all laughed at each suggestion and continued to talk about it the next day at lunch. Jun, Saki, and Yuki decided that on the bucket prank and gathered the materials we needed. We all help set it up, I distracted the ninjas by being on the other side of the village to grab a few groceries with Kirito and Ai as the others put everything in their place.

Then we all watched as the prank was triggered from my kitchen where we were all eating some snacks I made everyone. Jun had set up the buckets as Saki placed the slippery substance as Yuki placed the tripwires. The last one to arrive set off the whole thing by slipping off the roof and taking one of the others down with him which knocked all of their balance to result in them all on the ground smelling of rotting eggs. We laughed so hard at the ninjas' surprised and dumbfounded faces. The ninjas glared at me before they left, but I pretended not to see it. We all high-fived each other than my friends went home, and I went to out with the blanket to stargaze once the stars were out.

The next day the 'stalker' ninjas were back and were different ones than before. These ones were more aware of their surroundings and kept an eye out for any pranks. My friends wanted to prank these ninjas, but I didn't. These new ninjas actually showed us a little respect that surprised all of us and I noticed the leader of this group would smile at me if our eyes ever met. I would smile back and continue on as if I didn't see him. I pretended to be more calm and relaxed now with the new 'stalkers' which made the said 'stalkers' not be tense. My friends must have noticed the change in how relaxed I was with these new 'stalkers' and decided to not be mean when trying to prank them like the last ones.

During the time that Kabuto was away I still kept an ear out for information as ordered. I had started keeping a record of what happened which day and all the information I overheard at my friends' houses. The grown-ups never took much care on what their kids heard for most of the time we were playing with each other or talking. It was easy for me to pay attention to both sides. I quickly grew bored in this persona and of keeping an ear out for information. Jun's entire family were ninjas, so they were the ones that I had to be the most careful with. Jun's family practically adopted me whenever Kabuto was away. He has two older brothers, names Kei and Koi, Kei was much like Jun where he was loud, but he was a little more serious than Jun, he looked like he was like an older version of Jun and Koi was a mix of both quiet and loud though he leaned more on the loud side especially around his family, he had Jun's hair, but had day blue eyes. He also had an older sister that was as loud as him but looked like his complete opposite with blond hair and dark brown eyes and her name was Aya. His parents were even older version of Koi and Aya. I really liked his family and was happy with them. Saki's family were civilians so there were only rumors there and the same can be said at Ai's. Yuki's parents were ninjas but not as good as sensing as Jun's. Kirito family I never met and no talks about, but I heard the rumors that he was an orphan.

It was about three days later that Kabuto came back that the consequences of our prank on the mean stalkers came. I was hanging out with my friends at the park when he called me. I looked up at his voice and I smiled as I nodded. I told my friends good bye then went over to him quickly and hugged him. I truly was happy to see him. He hugged me back with a soft smile then we walked home. It was in the house that his expression changed to one of anger. We both were sitting in the living room. I felt the tension rise and he said, "So you and your friends had lots of fun while I was away."

I couldn't help, but flinch, especially because he was actually angry with me. I nodded and kept my head down as he continued anger evident in his voice, "I was told by the Kazekage that you and your friends pranked the ninjas that were watching you. I thought mom and dad taught you better than that especially to respect ninjas. The Kazekage won't give you a punishment but he encouraged that I do. So, your punishment is that you are grounded from hanging out with your friends. This means that outside of school and the odd jobs you will be home. I will be giving you more chores to do as well. I am very disappointed with you, Kyou." I felt the ninjas outside watching as my brother scolded me. At the end, I nodded and headed up to my room where I fell onto my bed and cried.

Why do I have to cry? I rather be flattering Orochimaru. How long do I have to keep this up for? Kabuto is actually angry with me since I am supposed to not bring attention to myself. Pranks were what we did when we got very bored so there was no stopping it from happening. I watched as the others made and set up the pranks only intervening when I thought that they were going too far. So far, we have made simple random tripwire, sand balloons (basically water balloons but with sand), spicy pies, fake bugs, and surprising them from behind though the last one was difficult and almost got us hurt. We heard an earful from our guardians because of the last one which we kept in mind should we try to do another prank. There was nothing I can do about them pranking the stalkers since my grounding won't be lifted anytime soon. School was boring the teachers lectured and most payed attention, but I often stared outside when I was not writing notes to keep up appearances.

It was about two months into my grounding and most of the time Kabuto was away on missions. I was bored out on my mind since I already read through the scrolls that Orochimaru sent with me. My friends often throw notes into my window sometimes and I would leave notes attached to some wires for them. Jun would sneak into my house and chat with me until it was time for him to leave. Jun was in my room when Kabuto came home. Jun flinched and before either of us could move from sitting next to each other Kabuto was there with a frown. The door and the window was open and we all know the stalkers were there, so it was not as if we were doing anything bad. We were just talking about our hopes and dreams. Kabuto glared at me in the doorway while he was covered in blood, sand, and many other things I didn't care to name, and Jun quickly got up and apologized as if he was the one at fault. He quickly left with an apologetic smile and I waved. Then Kabuto marched away into the bathroom without saying anything and I closed the windows and put a privacy barrier that surrounded my room, but it would allow Kabuto enter.

Kabuto came back not long after clean. He noticed the privacy barrier as he walked through it and nodded at me in thanks for doing it. He sat down on the bed and I sat on the floor with my back to the window. We didn't talk for a while and the silence wasn't as charged since both of us were trying to conceal our emotions and be reasonable. He broke the silence with, "How did you prank ninjas without them knowing and why did you do it?" I replied, "I only was on the opposite side of the city while the others put it together then made them snacks and laughed when the ninjas fell for it. How was I supposed to stop my friends from pranking ninjas whom are not supposed to be prank-able and without blow-up my cover? My cover practically has the fact that I am either scared of ninjas or hate them. I rather it seem I hate them for it gives more reason to why I won't become one and since you are one it would be hard to be scared of them, especially when you shove it in my face like earlier when you showed up dirty." "Why did your friends want to prank the ninjas in the first place?"

I sighed as I said, "Jun, noticed how they glare at me and seem to hate me. They also stopped hiding themselves often to show their hate and I think Jun thought that they would attack me if we didn't do something first. I am pretty sure he told his parent about it seeing as they are ninjas and the fact that they weren't that angry with him when all the parents scolded us for it. Jun is too observant for his own good and he wishes to become a ninja." This time Kabuto sighed and looked me in the eyes as he asked, "Does he know about any about us?" I shook my head and said, "No, I've been very careful. I know for a fact he doesn't think I'm a ninja, but he might think I am a lazy genius considering he noticed I often don't pay attention in class." Kabuto looked me more seriously in the eyes and asked, "Will he and the others be a problem?" I replied just as seriously and with some irritation, "No, they won't be a problem. I have not forgotten who I am Kabuto. I will easily kill them without remorse should it be necessary. How is your part of the mission, anyway seeing as you mostly go on missions and are not around the Kazekage as much as needed for this mission?"

I hope it never comes to where I have to kill them. I have grown fond of these friends, but survival is most important, and I am willing to kill in order to survive. Besides, they aren't really my friends and they will probably not be my friends should I change my character in any way. Jun don't be too observant, or it really will kill you. I wish you didn't want to be a ninja.

Kabuto flinched then glared at me for my question. He replied calmly if not a little irritated, "It is going as it was expected. I have slowly gained the trust of several of the shinobi while on these missions. It won't be long before the Kazekage will have more respect for me and credibility. Rin, remember you are to only be a civilian on this mission so be more careful. It is fine if your 'friends' think you are smart but if the ninjas catch on the alert me immediately. You will stay grounded for another two weeks. Orochimaru-sama should be sending us new orders soon so you will be here when they arrive." I sighed and nodded once I heard we will be getting new orders. Kabuto also relaxed and asked, "How are you holding up? Not becoming stir-crazy, I hope since you aren't that strong of a ninja and that this is your first mission outside."

He is trying to test me now, of all times. Well, I wouldn't be surprised since he has been away, and I am on edge. I am so happy that new orders will be coming soon. This civilian act is starting to be more difficult and with the approaching graduation that will cause my friends to move on as I stay as a civilian the tension in our group is getting stronger. I really hope there is something new soon. I hate to admit it, but I am becoming stir-crazy as Kabuto said. I will never admit he was right besides if I do then it will confirm I am stronger than I let on. I wonder why Orochimaru hasn't told Kabuto of my true strength and abilities...

I looked at him with a bored look and replied, "I am bored. If you had to sit with people your age who do nothing, but whine and the lectures are of history or very basics knowledge, would you not be bored? I hope Orochimaru-sensei gives new orders soon or the lazy genius trait may become part of my character." Kabuto smiled at that and I could see he did hope for new orders as well. He nodded at me then left my room as I opened my window then laid back down on my bed and I slowly released my barrier as to hide the fact there was one. It had turned to night during our conversation and the stalker ninjas decided to talk while it seemed me and Kabuto were asleep. I closed my eyes as I stretched out my hearing toward the ninjas that were talking among themselves about how Kabuto was reacting. I made a mental note to tell Kabuto that we need to make a scene of affection later with that he was just worried about me as well as that he might have gone too far. It will be funny and a bit satisfying for him to do so.

It was about a week and five days later when the new orders came via a small snake. I came home from the odd jobs feeling exhausted and dropped my bag on the floor by my desk. I sighed as I noticed that there was an animal on my bed when I first walked in. I walked over to my bed careful not to sit on it and nudged it with a finger. It was curled up on my bed under the covers, so I wasn't surprised that the ninjas didn't see it. I carefully put up my barrier then closed the window and signaled to Kabuto that Orochimaru-sensei's messenger is here. After it felt the barrier was in place it slithered out onto my lap and while we waited I gently pet the snake. I do actually like snakes as I found out after being around Orochimaru for so long. It seemed to like it for it curled happily on my lap with its eyes closed. This little snake was a light brown color that blends in with the sand and was venomous that could be deadly. My eyes unfocused for as my senses changed…

~It was cold and snowing outside when I opened one of the storerooms' wooden boxes that held stones that have chakra infused in them that keep them warm. I had about three cloaks and two pants on that made my small frame bigger and heavier than normal. The stones were black with a small flame of blue in the center which was the chakra and they were of all kinds of sizes from pebbles to rocks as big as I was. I had started sorting out the stones that I needed. All of them were warm and were unable to be hot enough burn. I found a baby snake curled around one of the heated stones. It saw me and hissed threateningly as if it thought I was about to take away the heat source. I carefully pulled it off the stone by the back of its neck so that it can't bite me. I pulled out a pouch that I currently wear around my neck like a necklace and open it. I gently put the baby snake in it then put it gently back under my cloaks leaving it open, so the snake could leave if it wanted. I then rooted around the box to find a pebble sized heat stone to which I put it in with the snake. It popped its head out for a moment to stare at me in the eyes and I smiled at it. It hissed at me threateningly again then went back into the pouch. I got the stones as asked by someone into the sack then closed the box and walked into the light of the doorway…~

"Kyou!" Kabuto called to get my attention and whacked the back of my head. I refocused on where I was and saw Kabuto standing in front of me looking pissed. I smiled apologetically as I rubbed the place he whacked me. He sighed as he sat down and looked towards the snake in my lap that I had still been petting. It looked almost pissed at Kabuto for whacking me, but I could be wrong. It un-curled itself and a scroll 'poof' into existence to which Kabuto grabbed and unsealed it. He read it with a blank face then frowned as he passed to me for me to read.

It read in Orochimaru's handwriting:

"I have read your reports as well as those of Rin's. It seems that the mission is going well and you both are working hard. I have been hearing rumors about how Kabuto is becoming a successful and respect ninja of the Sand. Rin is now known as Kyou and is nothing more than a civilian that is his sister. Interesting cover you both made for this mission. I will hear about why you both went with this approach in the future.

Kabuto, keep going on missions and gaining respect for the Kazekage will soon show more interest in you. Also, I will sending another failed experiment later to threaten the Kage and to provoke the One-tails to go on a rampage. It will ruin your house and the Kage will have you move in with his family or else the villagers will riot, especially with how much they love our dear Rin. The new orders for you Kabuto is to keep following the previous ones and to show more affection towards your 'sister' as well as apprentice as a medic in the Sand.

He is enjoying this… Kabuto has it hard not having much different orders and even having to add more to what he has to deal with. I bet Orochimaru will tell him later to steal any medical knowledge and secret jutsu later.

Rin, I hear you are loved by most ninja and all civilians, good work. You are to remain as a civilian during the entirety of this mission. You will eventually move into the Kage's home where you will have to forge a strong friendship with his children if not make yourself almost like you are family to them, if you can.

Before you enter that house, you need to be their acquaintances at least. I hear the One-tails hasn't rampaged since you arrived which is not unusual, but I think for some reason the One-tails is either unable to rampage or the Kage is being extra cautious with you and Kabuto as new villagers. Your new orders are to become close with the Kage's children, especially the One-tails' container Gaara whom is the Kage's youngest. You are also allowed to not be friends with the other children should they shun you. You are also going to graduate from their school soon and you will enter into the ninja academy.

There is no need for you to not go, for they teach civilian classes and it will draw less attention to you instead of being part of the working force. You will not be part of the ninja program. I have also sealed more scrolls for you to learn from during this mission and I am sure that you have already finished with the ones I had you take at the start of this mission. Only you can unseal the scrolls and once all are out put the others on top of the seal and add chakra. They will be seal inside for when this scroll comes back to me with your latest reports.

Rin and Kabuto, you are still in enemy territory be careful. Rin, if you run away now, I will have Kabuto hunt and kill you or give you over to those we saved you from.

Love,

Orochimaru-sama"

I didn't know whether to laugh or be pissed by this letter as well as with the blatant disregard to the cover we made and sustained. It will be very difficult to keep our cover and do all that he has order. There is a hint of accusation or questioning of the possibility that I can tame the One-tails and will probably asked to in the future as I get close with Gaara.

I looked at Kabuto and he smiled at my expression which probably was a mixed of confusion and pissed off. He almost chuckled or laughed! He then frowned at me and said, "The scroll says Orochimaru-sama gave you scrolls to learn from before you left. Why did you not tell me about them and why did he allow you to take them here?" I sighed and said, "Orochimaru-sensei, said not to tell you when he gave me the scrolls. I didn't ask for scrolls to take with me. He gave me about four scrolls and said, 'learn and memorize these and do Not tell Kabuto." Kabuto frowned at me as if to say, "You should have still told me." I shrugged, and said, "He said it like it was an order, so I followed it. I am not going to question Orochimaru-sensei… Or at least not his complete sanity." My joke about Orochimaru's sanity surprised Kabuto into a smile then a stern expression as if he was scolding me for the joke.

I carefully unsealed all the scrolls from the seal that was below the writing. There were about sixteen this time and they didn't show what they were about. I pulled out the four scrolls I had under my bed and sealed them away. Kabuto looked surprised in a way that it almost made me laugh. He shook his head as if he was discouraging me from laughing and put both of our reports within the scroll. He then placed it on my lap near the snake who was still curled up there. It looked at the scroll and uncurled then 'poof' the scroll was gone, and the snake looked at my face and hissed in a friendly way then it 'poofed' away too leaving a small smoke cloud.

I put the scrolls in a box then put them under my bed ignoring Kabuto. Before he could ask what, they were, or the others were I said, "You want to know then please ask Orochimaru-sensei." I then opened the window and laid down with my eyes closed to slowly release my barrier. Kabuto came over and patted my head and frowned when he noticed my exhaustion. I smiled and shook my head as if to say I was ok and was just tired. He nodded at me then left and I left the darkness of sleep take me...

AN: Tried to do a long-ish chapter this time.

There is a Poll on my profile about what happens after Mission 1, please vote!

Also, there will probably only be one-two more chapters for Mission 1 unless told otherwise.

Thank you for reading! Please review!

What do you think of this chapter?

So, I am seeing about a few pairings so far, it seems like:

JunxKyo, KabutoxRin, OrochimaruxKabuto, or any others you noticed…

Which pairing do you want or encourage for the next chapter(s)?

Jun: Am I technically an OC and will stay in this story?

Moonlight46: Yes, you are an OC -ish and unless reviews say otherwise

then only during Mission 1 and maybe later as in several chapters later.

Rin/Kyou: Why am I so stir-crazy and since when did I start caring about Kabuto?

Moonlight46: You are stir-crazy because your life is not being threaten on a daily basis and because you are becoming attached to Kabuto or at least don't want them to share in your experiences you received by your enemy.

Kabuto: …...

~Who wants to see Kabuto as a neko (half human and half cat -traits)?
