The silver haired girl shifted in her sleep. She was sweating with her eyes clenched tightly. Her hands were in fist as she tossed and turned. Her hair was tussled and so were her clothes. The bed sheets were on the floor from being pushed from the bed.

-Dream-

"Mommy! Mommy please wake up!" A young silver haired girl called to her mother laying on the floor. A large wound was gasped in her neck where blood was running from. Hoshiko clasped onto her mother's stomach crying into the fabric of the dress she wore. She could hear her brother crying in his room, but the small girl did not go to him. Suddenly the green eyed girl did not hear the crying anymore. She lifted her head to see her father come from her brother's room as bloodied katana in his hands. Her eyes widened as she realized what had happened. "No. No!" She cried against her pale and unmoving mother.

"Now, now little Hoshiko. No more crying. Your next you know." Her father stated deadly smooth. Hoshiko quickly got up and started running as fast as she could to the front door to their home. Her father was quicker though. "Oh come now dear. That's no what to act." The much larger man stated as Hoshiko backed up tears still streaming down her face.

A silver haired girl perched on a tree overlooking a clearing where a group of ninja sat enjoying their evening meal. A cruel smirk made itself known on the girl's face as she let her charka slip through strings that she had tired to her fingers. 'They will not know what happened to them.' She thought as one of the strings wrapped around their necks, the ninjas not noticing at all. She clenched her hand into a fist the small invisible thread tightening around their necks, making the ninja go frantic. They were young, not more then genin out of an academy. She then tugged back on the strings, the fine tread ripping throw flesh as she be-headed all of the ninja in the clearing. She retracted the now visible tread stained with blood and placed it back into the pouch on her hip.

The silver haired girl lay on the ground her lip bleeding and some of her ribs broken. She glared up at the leader assassin as he glared down at her. She hoisted herself up onto her feet a little unsteadily. He motioned for some of the other assassins in the room all older then the green eyed girl to take hold of her. The leader walked up you her, on the others tilted her head to the side moving her hair out of the way.

"You will learn your place someway or another. Now that you are Orochimaru's property." He stated with a grin that the girl didn't like at all. He placed his hand on the space of skin behind her ear. She screamed in pain as he marker her for the seconded time with the beginnings of a snake, Orochimaru had to fill in the rest meaning that the deal was sealed with both of them. He motioned for the other assassins to let her go as Orochimaru entered the room a smile gracing his lips as he looked upon the girl on the floor clenching at the spot behind her ear trying to make the pain go away. "The deal is done, all you need to do is finish the mark." The lead assassin informed the dark ninja. Orochimaru walked over to the girl kneeing beside her. He took her hand away from the spot that was now red from pain, and placed his hand over it. Hoshiko looked up at him with a pained looked on her face, her teeth clenched. He watched her eyes as they twisted with pain as he placed his charka on the plain of skin and let it burn the flesh there to finish the mark of the snake.

-End Dream-

Hoshiko awoke with a mind numbing pain behind her ear where the snake mark was. She placed her hand over it. Orochimaru was the only one who could do anything about it and he was gone at the moment. She got up from her bed making her way into her small kitchen, and getting some ice to put on it hoping that it would dull the pain. It didn't help at all. She kept trying to get it to stop but nothing was working. 'I ha-have to fin-find master.' She thought as she changed in some other clothes besides her pjs. She headed out of the village to try to find her dark master. No one cared, they all knew she was bond to him so they had nothing to worry about her leaving.

It only took her a short while to reach her master. She clasped on the ground by him. He turned his eyes over to look at her, as if it was an everyday thing to see his assassin clasped and gasping for breath. She forced herself onto her feet and walked over to him bowing on her knees then in front of him.

"Master." She said her voice a bit strained. One of her hands was on the mark that was causing her more pain then she could imagine. He raised a brow at her. "Could you please?" She asked as she tilted her head to the side to let him get to the mark, removing her hand. Orochimaru's eyes narrowed at the mark as he saw what was causing the girl so much pain. The snake was glowing but for what reason he did not know. It had never done this before. He kneeled down beside her resting his hand over the mark. Hoshiko leaned into the touch, his hand soothing the pain and ache. She closed her eyes, letting out a sigh of relief and contentment. This amused the dark ninja, he let a smirk play on his lips. He pulled his hand away, watching as the snake glowed a dimmer shade. Hoshiko opened her eyes and bowed again. "Thank you, master." She stated softly.

A/N: Yay! Two chapters out in one day. I'm on a rule. I'll get the next one out soon, and thanks for all that reviewed.
