Ryouzetsu wiped it away and stood up, she then fell to her knee and looked down at her hands then up at Takashi, he closed his eyes and knelt next to her, slowly putting his arms around her. She turned and moved his head slightly and her fangs sharpened, Ryouzetsu licked his neck and then bit him, drinking his blood, Takashi closed his eyes and Orochimaru smirked, the two boys falling from the tree in fear. She let go of him and he slid down her arm sideways, she bent her wrist and caught him, Ryouzetsu looked at him sadly and laid him on the ground, by now everything was finished and it only had been 5 minutes. She wiped the blood from her mouth and glanced at Orochimaru, she nodded and the three appeared on the training grounds, Orochimaru introduced the boys as his underlings and she glared at them.

"Can I have a word with you two for a second?" Ryouzetsu grabbed them by their collars and threw them a couple hundred feet away, she loomed over them angrily and folded her arms over her chest, "Don't think that you two will get away with it, Orochimaru is mine, if you so much as lay a hand on him I will slaughter the lot of you, I don't care if you were with him first, he is mine and you will not take him away from me." Ryouzetsu said and she felt a shadow over her, Orochimaru was there and he picked her up, she looked flustered and he smirked.

"A bit jealous I see? Come now you three, it is time to train for the Chunnin exams soon." Orochimaru said and Ryouzetsu caught a glimpse of a curse mark on the two boy's necks, the same place as her, she pouted and then got down. "Alright, you will have a battle now, you will battle each other, and first it will be Ryou against Renji, then it will be Renji against Omoro, and then Omoro against Ryou." Orochimaru said and Ryouzetsu stepped into the ring, the one who pinned her to the desk stepped into the ring too and Ryouzetsu looked angry. "Now, start!" Orochimaru yelled and she bit her thumb, spread it across her palm, made hands signs and slammed it to the ground, summoning 3 snakes, two dark blue and one purple.

"Koha, Mina, Cheza, I leave this to you girls, now go!" Ryouzetsu yelled and the snakes started attacking the boy, she turned her back then felt something strange, suddenly claw marks spewed blood on her back and she fell forward, she looked behind her and the snakes were dead. "N-no… Koha! Mina! Cheza!" She screamed with tears in her eyes and her breathing quickened, her eyes starting to revert to a demons, her nails and teeth sharpened and she let out a cry of a beast. "You killed my snakes! You killed Koha! You killed Mina! You killed Cheza! You killed the only family I had left!" She yelled and her chakra raised tremendously, her skin split open on her left arm and she started to take out the bone when Orochimaru yelled.

"Ryouzetsu stop this! You must not show anyone your Kekkei Genkai!" Orochimaru yelled angrily and she stopped, glanced back at him and her curse mark started to overtake her body, she let go of the bone and screamed in pain as the markings were spreading over her body.

Ryouzetsu screamed a blood curdling cry that could be heard over 10 kilometers all around, the people in the area that were training came to see what was going on and they found Ryouzetsu kneeling, screaming as markings appeared on her body. The markings were lines, horizontal and vertical all connected snaking over her body, she stood up zombie-like and jerked her body, glaring at Renji, she started glowing a deadly black and she appeared before Renji in a flash. Ryouzetsu grabbed him and bit into him, drinking his blood until the limits of his life, she threw him down and her eyes reverted back to normal, her curse mark receded into the marking which was just 3 lines, each having 3 parts like a lightning bolt, all pointing outward. Renji opened his eyes struggling to stay alive and Ryouzetsu looked at him, she turned away and took out shuriken, threw them and they hit trees all beside all of the onlookers. She then walked to Orochimaru and looked down, he knelt and took her chin lightly then wiped away the blood, and she placed her hand on his and looked deeply saddened.

"Come Ryouzetsu, it's time to go home, you need to get used to your life here, I promise I'll come back for you, and don't forget," Orochimaru hissed like a snake and his lips were close to her ear, "You are a spy for the Hidden Sound Village, do not fail me Ryouzetsu." He hissed acidly and stood up, she looked down and then clung to his arm again walking with him, they went back home and the next day they trained hard and harder, until the Chunnin exams. "Harder! Faster! Better! You call that training?!" He yelled at them and Ryouzetsu stopped and hunched over and was panting hard, she fell to her hands and knees and started throwing up. "Alright stop, Ryouzetsu are you alright?" Orochimaru asked and she coughed holding her stomach, she gasped for air and coughed a couple more times, Renji and Omoro knelt by her and she finally got her breath, she stood up shakily then her knees gave out, Omoro quickly catching her, Orochimaru looked angry and told him to take her to a tree and leave her.

He continued the training and in about an hour Ryouzetsu was on her feet again, she ate and after 15 minutes she was training hard again, this time staying alright and she stood there sweating, she wiped the blood from her mouth and was panting hard. Renji was lying there on the ground unable to move and she fell to one knee in pain, she held her side to try and stop the bleeding and then she went over to the tree and wrapped her wound tightly. She put her shirt back down and leaned against the tree panting, she felt the breeze blow through her hair and she closed her eyes listening to all the sounds of nature. Orochimaru stood in front of her silently, she opened her eyes and he motioned for her to keep training, she yawned and got up reluctantly then went over to Omoro and trained with him. She beat him quickly and told Orochimaru she was going back to her house, he stopped her saying she needed to keep training, she slapped his hand away and kept walking, she sensed danger, and it was approaching fast. Ryouzetsu was all by herself on the street when ninja's came out of nowhere and surrounded her, saying they were ANBU and that they were to arrest her and put her into the Blood Prison even though she was a woman.

"Very well, I've gotten sick of training with Lord Orochimaru, he's such a bore when I comes to training, let's go, I'm tired." Ryouzetsu sighed and they bound her hands and feet and put her in a cage, she sat there thinking and suddenly her curse mark pulsated. "What?" She said quietly and a snake crawled into the crate as people were carrying it, she talked to it and she could hear his voice, she called him Cubellios.

"You're all here at the Blood Prison because you have lost the faith of your village and you won't get out of here unless they regain faith in you." A man said and Ryouzetsu looked at him calmly, rubbing the snake's chin, the snake was there because he sensed she was lonely and was summoned by Orochimaru to watch over her. "You, why are you here? No women are allowed!" The leader said and removed the seal on the cage, it disappeared and she smirked as she sat there, he looked curious at her and her snake hissed at him and bit him. "OW! What the?!" He exclaimed and shook his hand, she looked up at him with deadly yellow eyes and she stood up, her shackles dropping to the floor.

"Cubellios, kill." She said and held her arm out pointing to them, the snake coiled around her arm then leap over to the leaders retainers shoulder and bit them, killing them, she made hand signs and she drew in a big breath, "Fire Style: Phoenix flower jutsu!" She said and fire balls hurled towards them, burning them to a crisp. "Hey, don't underestimate the Hidden Sound Village." She giggled and the leader hit her in the gut, a marking appeared on her body and she looked at him. "You swine; hasn't your mother ever told you not to touch a lady without permission!" She said and grabbed his hand, twisted it and threw him; she lifted her shirt to see the marking, she sighed and unwrapped her left hand. "Jeez, such a weak seal, man you are seriously out of your league." Ryouzetsu said sighing and she made hand signs, lifted her shirt again and put her hand on the center of the markings, she then pulled her hand away, the marking coming off her and flowing into her palm, forming a ball. "Oh by the way, my name's Ryouzetsu Minakawa, remember it." She smirked, "Eat Cubellios." She giggled and fed the ball to Cubellios, she turned around and walked out, she came back to the village entrance and they looked shocked at her. "What?" She asked smirking happily.

"How did you get out of the Blood Prison?" A man asked and she smirked and put her finger to her head then pulled it away, an orb at the end of her finger and it multiplied into 6, one for each person there.

"Take those and swallow them, you'll then see how I got out of the prison. Come Cubellios, Lord Orochimaru is awaiting our return." Ryouzetsu smiled and stroked the snake's chin; it rubbed against her cheek then lightly fell asleep over her shoulders. "Lord Orochimaru, I have returned." Ryouzetsu muttered kneeling in front of him; he turned around and looked at her grimacing.
