Naruto looked intently on the other boy in the arena, his eyes going wide with the anticipation of the tale that was going to come. Neji laughed softly for a only a moment looking down at the ground, then turned his eyes back to look up at the blonde spiky haired ninja. Even if she wanted to know what happened to the young Hyuuga boy Hoshiko took this time to leave, even if leaving got her in trouble with Orochimaru later, she didn't care at the moment.
"My father was killed by the main family-" Was the last thing she heard before she sprinted out of the stands causing a few people and ninjas to turn and look at her. Down the hallways, stopping, grabbing onto a corner connecting one hallway with another. She was panting as she turned her back to the wall, sliding down, her butt hitting the ground and her legs turned outward at the knee. She shook her head lightly. She raised her hands to bury her face within them trying to get the images out of her head from her own family's demise.
She stayed like that for a while, her eyes closed and her form deadly still, head slightly turned downward still within her hands. Her was mind blank having rid in clearing her mind of the horrid images from her past. A few tears had made their way down her cheeks. 'What's wrong with me? I was never like this. Not after I was trained. I'm too emotional. I need to be re-trained. Maybe Orochimaru will let me go for a bit back to my master.' She thought to herself, bring her hands down to rest in her lap. 'I'm not supposed to be like this.' She took in a few deep breaths, standing up from her place and going to head back out to the stands.
A creaking noise made her turn her head to the side and look around the corner. Hyuuga Hiashi was walking to a room not too far away from where she was. She raised one of her eyebrows and watch as he entered a few medical ninjas leaving the room afterward, closing the door behind them. Shiko crept over to the door, being nosey she placed her ear on the door and listened to the sounds within after the others had left.
"What do you want?" She heard Neji ask from the other side of the door. 'He lost? I would have bet that he would win.' She thought to herself.
"I came to tell you the truth of that day." Neji's uncle stated, his voice a bit grave.
"Truth?" A question was stated in Neji's voice, the silver haired assassin could only image the look on the young boy's face.
"That time, I fully intended to die." Was heard from the deeper older voice of the head of the Hyuuga clan.
"What?! What are you talking about!?" Neji shouted at his uncle. "That time my father was killed to take your place!!" The boy shot back.
"The results may appear that way, but the is not the truth." The older Hyuuga replied calmly.
"What.. After all these years.." Neji's voice was that of disbelief.
"I'm telling you after all these years because I thought you'd believe me now." Hiashi then went on to explain the events of so many years ago to his nephew. "This is the whole truth." He stated after he finished explaining.
"Why should I believe a story like that!?" Neji questioned. "It seems like a convenient excuse created by the main family! After all of these years!" It seemed that that the young boy could not get over the fact that his uncle was just now telling him this.
"I thought you'd say that.. That's why I waited. And told you now.." Shiko gasp as a pain filled her head. 'Not again.' She thought, grabbing at the snake imprinted behind her ear. She quickly re-moved herself from the area by the door running to the entrance to the building. 'I have to find-' Her eyes closed as she clasped right as she was about to open the doors to make her way out to the town beyond the doors.
"Hoshiko!" Kabuto called out around the area. Orochimaru had been defeated and he guessed Gaara was not doing well either. The sound ninja had not seen the other silver haired one for a while, since the first match. He was worried and they had to leave, and soon. "Damn it!" Kabuto cursed under his breath as he was about to make his escape with the Sand ninja sensei of Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.
"Kakashi! That guy is moving. Do we chase?" Gai asked standing in front of the two invaders.
"No Gai! Wait." The copy ninja answered back, his eyes on the two in front of them.
"Ah. When you don't have good background information, you don't like to move around much.. For fear of falling into the enemy's snare." The silver haired sound ninja in hiding stated a smirk under his mask.
"We agree with those words a hundred times over. There could be traps, and unseen areas. And it's wrong to lose sight of an enemy. That's what a Leaf Shinobi is." Gai stated his usually happy face being re-placed by a stern one.
"After all, you are right before us.. Kabuto." Kakashi added. With a little snort Kabuto reached up and re-moved the mask that had hid his face.
"Completely exposed.." The sound ninja stated a smirk on his face.
"Hey, what do we do?" The Sand-Sensei asked glancing over at the silver haired one.
"Slowly retreat.." He answered back.
"Now your going to run away from me?" Kakashi asked with a sneer.
"Right away.. Because you will just copy all my secrets." Was Kabuto's answer. "Your eye isn't as good as a member of Uchiha Clan, but.." Kakashi and the others waited for the sound ninja to finish his statement. "So.." Kabuto had a few hand signs and with a puff of smoke, Kabuto and the Sand Ninja were gone.
"Do you know where she is?" Orochimaru asked of the silver haired ninja who stood before him. He shook his head.
"No. I lost track of her during the first match. I had not seen her since." The snake like ninja let out a laugh.
"I wonder what happened to our little dove." He mused to himself. He shot Kabuto a glare. "I forbid you to look for her. Let her come back of her own will." The other ninja raised a brow at his master and leader. "But she takes more the a month, then we will just have to go and find her ourselves." He mused again a light laugh coming from his lips.
A/N: I hope that I didn't confuse anyone.
