Chapter 2

Kabuto was pacing back and forth in his room.

"Alright, Kabuto you need to calm down or Lord Orochimaru might suspect something." He told himself this time and time again, but it didn't seem to help.

Their child was due any day now and he wanted to be present during her birth. However, it wasn't in Orochimaru's intention to send Kabuto out on another mission anytime soon. It was early fall morning, the cold winds were already beginning to blow. Oh how he wished he could be with his Shizune right now. His room, which wasn't very much, got very cold this time of the season. He wished of snuggling close to his lover in her wonderfully heated house. That is, until his Lord broke his concentration.

"Kabuto! Where are you!" Orochimaru had called from his chambers.

"Coming my Lord!" Kabuto quickly called back fearing for his life. Orochimaru was a person best not kept waiting.

"Where have you been? I need the information that you have gathered over these past months." Kabuto walked over to Orochimaru and pulled out a couple sheets of folded paper. Orochimaru snatched them out of his hands and glanced over them quickly.

"Good. I'll be able to use these to my advantage." However, little did Orochimaru know, the papers Kabuto handed him were actually information already gathered from years ago. Orochimaru didn't notice because he's been so busy lately. "I guess for a job well done, go ahead and take a couple weeks away from here. However, you need to be back here no later then two weeks. We have work to do. Also, I have some experiments that I need to tend to and you'll only be in the way. So, go!"

Kabuto knelt before Orochimaru and replied, "Thank you my Lord." He then quickly vanished in a poof of smoke.

Orochimaru stood with an eerie smile on his face and thought, "Well, well Kabuto. Now I wonder where you are running off to in such a hurry. Maybe…I think I'm going to have a little fun and follow you." Orochimaru chuckled evilly and glanced at the papers again. "I'm not as stupid as you think Kabuto. It looks like I'm going to have to gather information on Konoha now because whatever you are doing at that place, your not getting recent information." He thought again to himself before, he too, vanished in a poof of smoke.

Kabuto was traveling very fast through the trees, hoping it wasn't to late. As he entered into Konoha, it was night and it began to rain. He noticed one of the village elders by the gate and she noticed him as well and quickly ran to his side without anyone inside the village taking any notice.

"Come with me. I'll take you to Shizune." Kabuto quickly nodded and they were off, heading toward Konoha's hospital.

When they both arrived inside, a medical ninja stepped outside the door. "Kabuto, you may see Shizune now. Might I say you both have a beautiful baby girl."

"Thanks." Kabuto said nervously as he slowly walked into Shizune's room.

As he walked closer, Tonton sprang up from the edge of the bed and ran toward him. Shizune then noticed him and whispered, "She's sleeping. Oh Kabuto, I'm so happy."

Kabuto in return replied, "Yes, I'm happy too. Also, Lord Orochimaru gave me two weeks off, so I'll be able to help you and take care of her." As Shizune cradled her, Kabuto stroked her little hand and Tonton smiled, a fake smile.

Tsunade then entered, followed by two medical ninja. "Ah…it's good to see you again Kabuto, as long as were on the same side. Anyway, it is time you name your child."

Kabuto and Shizune looked at each other and both nodded before both calling out, "Ayaime. Her name will be Ayaime."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Now Kabuto do you remember our deal?"

"Yes…Milady." Kabuto replied uneasily.

"Good. As long as she's this young, it's okay for you to be with her, but after she turns two…our deal goes into full effect." Kabuto nodded and kissed both Shizune and his new daughter Ayaime.

However, little did Kabuto know, Orochimaru was right outside the window, listening and watching everything that was taking place. "Now I understand. Kabuto, you traitor. Defiling my ways all for your loved one, a leaf ninja!? However, it seems you have…a daughter. Hmm, this makes things interesting. It looks like I might be in use of her, but until she is older. Yes, then I will make her mine." Orochimaru thought to himself as the rain soaked him to the bone.

Quickly, and as silently as he came, he vanished without a trace. Tonton had a shiver through his spine and Tsunade looked toward the window. "Was someone there?" She thought and looked at Tonton. He had a worried look on his face and Tsunade knew.

"Great, Kabuto was followed, by him. Oh well, for now, I think Ayaime is safe." Tsunade was going to say something but it seemed like such a happy moment that she couldn't tell them, at least not now. She sighed and patted Tonton's head. He looked up and Tsunade smiled. He forced a smile back and returned his attention to Kabuto and Shizune, who were overwhelmed with joy and thought, " I guess I'm not the baby anymore. Now what's going to happen to me? I feel so…alone…" Tonton sighed deeply before plopping down off the bed and landing on the floor. Slowly he trotted out of the room, sulking all the way.

It seemed like yesterday Ayaime was only just born but time had gone by very fast. Kabuto returned to Orochimaru, while Shizune stayed in the leaf and took care of their daughter. Now it has been six years and Ayaime had no knowledge of her father, Kabuto. Shizune and Kabuto had no idea that Orochimaru knew about Ayaime, the night at the hospital must have slipped Tsunade's mind for she never spoke a word about it. They also had no idea about what Orochimaru had in store for Ayaime. While Ayaime didn't even know a person by the name of 'Orochimaru' existed…that is until now when everything became clear to her…on this one fateful night where the lives of Shizune, Kabuto, and Ayaime changed…
