When she opened her eyes, she was warmed by a soft glow lighting a small room.

"Mmm, what happened?" she stuttered, her head throbbing and hurting like no other.

She sat up, finding herself lying on a soft warm bed, and a fire burning in a fire place just outside the bedroom door. She slowly stumbled to her feet, trying to keep her balance. She noticed some bandages wrapped around her head, and many around her left arm. She stumbled out the bedroom door, and toward the warm fire, to see Orochimaru sitting there in front of it.

"You're awake," he said softly.

"Yea, but I'm in terrible pain. What the hell happened?" She asked.

He smiled at her, and handed her the glasses she wore. Here, their fine, not broken. I guess you slid right off my shoulder, so I guess it was my fault. I'm sorry,"

"No you're not you jerk!" She screamed, smacking him in the back of the head.

"I'm sorry, but I grabbed you up and brought you back here to my home, and I cared for you."

"You're such a fucking dumb ass!" She yelled, walking toward the door. She cracked it open, and stared up at the dark black shy and the silver polka dots that played tag across it.

"Beautiful night," he said softly, standing behind her.

"You're not good at being romantic," she sighed, resting her head in her hand.

"I know, I'm an evil bastard," he laughed.

"Well, you are handsome…" she admitted.

"Ha, I told you so. I have something I must tell you, what happened up there wasn't my fault or yours. There is a reason I found you. I know he won't identify himself Manda is an ass hole."

"What the hell is a Manda? That's my name, and I'm not a he, neither is it a guy name."

"The boss snake that I summon, called Manda, has possessed you. I don't know how, but you are unaware until he identifies himself. And knowing him- he won't. I know he's done my evil bidding, and he's evil. That's why you fell, he did it to you. I'm sorry, but its my responsibility to care for you now. I feel a bit responsible."

"Well I just wish that for once, shit didn't happen to me,"

"You believe me?" He asked, a bit taken aback.

"Yea, I don't know why, but I do trust you. I have had strange dreams of an ugly large and powerful snake, and I actually think it's quite possible for these things to happen."

"Wow, no one usually ever trusts me, I'm a ruthless evil bad guy, and no one ever cares if I say anything at all."

"Well call me different," she said, as she felt slightly dizzy, and fell backward into his arms.

"Shit, I need to lie down," she sighed, as he helped her walk back to the comfy bed.

"Take care of yourself," he sighed, as he helped her lay down, and tucked a blanket around her.

"Relax," he crooned.

"I'll be fine, just stay here beside me, I don't want to die in my sleep."

"I will girl, don't you mistrust me, I'm going to protect you."

"Thanks," she said, drifting off to sleep. He smirked at her, and he sat still, rubbing her hair and watching her sleep. Gently she pulled her arm out of the blanket, and he reached to touch her hand. She wrapped her fingers tightly around his hand, and he smiled at the sleeping girl.
