Hoshiko had settled in quite nicely into the Leaf Village. The chunnin exams started today, she had watched Kabuto from a far since she had arrived, he seemed to fit in nicely here. He was masking his abilities though, Hoshiko had to give him credit for that. The silver haired girl walked down the streets in a long sleeved kimono that was black and silver in color with wooden sandals. She looked just like any other women in the village, and that's what she wanted. She hid weapons, small knives, in her sleeves and in her hair that was up in a clip that held it at the back of her head. She was walking slowly down the streets making her way to the building where the first test of the chunnin exams was going to be held.
Hoshiko arrived in time to see one of the rookie groups enter the doors to the exam room. 'Darn, I missed Kabuto.' She thought to herself as she turned the corner and ran right into someone. She feel over not being very graceful with the sandals that were on her feet, also she did not try to catch herself for that would only give supposition to the ones around her. Strong arms encircled her waist right before she hit the ground, in front she could see the floor only inches from her nose. The arms pulled her back to her feet and held her there. She looked up into the face of Hatake Kakashi.
"Are you alright miss…?" He asked slightly from under his mask. Hoshiko nodded slightly.
"Michi, Dai-Tai Michi." She stated softly as any women would. Kakashi was one of the men in this village that any women would want, it was not that why with Hoshiko but she would play along as it was. A light blush fluttered her cheeks as she looked down to the ground. "I'm alright. I my trebly sorry for running into you like that. It was all my fault please forgive me." She stated just as softly, it seemed her voice would not go above a whisper. The man smiled at her from under his mask, Hoshiko could just make the forming of his lips.
"It is alright, don't worry about it. It happens all the time." He stated waving it off, with his carefree voice. She smiled softly at him, 'if I become friends with him, then maybe I could get closer to my target.' She thought while having Kakashi explain something to her out of the blue. Two other ninja walked over to them, a man and a women. 'Asuma and Kurenai. The other two sensei of the rookie teams.' Hoshiko thought with a smirk. Her eyes fell on Gai was he approved. 'Gai Maito, Kakashi's number one rival and my target.' She did not know why Orochimaru http/ wanted him dead but he did and it was Hoshiko's job to his bidding in this sort of thing.
"So Kakashi, who is your friend here?" Gai asked with a wink at Hoshiko, making her blush, of cause she was just doing this to make it seem like she was just another girl/women in this village. Kakashi looked at with a raised eyebrow as Gai took Hoshiko's hand. "Hello there. My name is-" Hoshiko interrupted him.
"Maito Gai. I've heard so much about you." She stated with a smile at him. His own smile widened when he heard this.
"Yes, well my reputation does proceed me." He looped his arm with her arm as he started to walk away from the other Jounin ninjas as they shook their heads muttering a 'poor girl' as Gai turned a corner with Hoshiko beside him. Gai was talking now and now about how he beat Kakashi and his other missions that he had gone on and completed. Hoshiko rolled her eyes but he did not notice, a smile was held on her face the whole time. 'Does he ever shut up?' She thought to herself, she stopped short when she saw Kabuto for a brief moment, but then continued on.
The next day Hoshiko wondered the streets thinking to herself. 'How am I going to complete this mission?' She had a questioning look on her face as she passed into the market type area. She bumped into someone again, ever since she came to this town her senses had not been the same. She looked up to apologize to the person but she gasped softly. She knew those eyes. The person gripped her arm with a smirk placed on their face. The person led her back to her own house on the edge of town, Hoshiko almost had to run in her wooden sandals to keep up with the person. When they reached her house he closed the door behind them and locked it, doing a jutsu so no one could look or hear in on their conversation. Hoshiko got down on her knees bowing her head to the floor.
"Lord Orochimaru http/ Hoshiko stated softly as he dropped his jutsu so he now stood before her in his true form. His lips twitched into a smirk. He loved when he could control someone so powerful with just the flick of his finger.
"Stand up Hoshiko. We have things to discus." The dark haired ninja that stood in front of her. The girl did as she was told getting to her feet quickly. The silver haired girl's face changed so quickly it was almost as if it had been without emotion the entire time, her master grinned at this. "My, my little dove. You have not talked to our dear Kabuto once while you were here. That makes me a little surprised, after all he would come to talk with you if he knew you were here." The snake stated. Hoshiko shook her head.
"If I were to do that then it would cause people to think twice about me and Kabuto." She stated in a soft whisper voice of hers. Orochimaru let his tongue slip between his lips and wander over to Hoshiko's cheek then slid down to her neck. The girl shivered slightly with disgust but did not say anything.
"Your taste has changed since we last saw each other. It is this village I have to say. When you are done with your mission I must require that you bathe so you can get all of this Hidden Leaf Village slime off of you." He stated before heading to the door. Hoshiko looked after him with an almost confused look. "I'll see you later little dove." He called over his shoulder as he dropped his jutsus and changed his appearance once again.
Hoshiko stood still looking at the closed door. She then ran to the wash room. She turned on the water and rapidly rid herself of her clothes. She got into the running water grapping a wash cloth and began to rub her skin everywhere trying to get the feel of him off of her. She rested then after she rubbed her neck and cheek rah, the warm water fell over her form in small waves. 'I wish I did not have to do this. I don't want to that their Sensei away.' She thought as she looked in her memory of the day before when she had met Gai's team. Lee looked up to him so much, and Gai was so attacked to them. She left a soft sigh escape her lips. 'I have to make up my mind. If I fail or choose not to complete the mission I don't know what will happen, but is it worth the chance to let them have their sensei?' She was really in a bind at the moment. She turned off the water, then wrapped a towel around her body letting her wet hair just settle as it wished and walked to the kitchen thoughts still heavy in her mind.
