Your/Kimi's POV*
You woke to the sound of my door creaking open, you tried to get up but found that your chakra was still mostly gone.
It took you a while to gain the energy to stand, and by then the intruders were in your room.
"Quick!" Yelled the shortest one, in a slightly manly but still female voice, "Grab her, I think this one needs help."
'What are you talking about?' you think, 'I'm fine, I don't need help.'
Another 2 Kunoichi ran into the room.
The tallest one wore a dress that looked like many pieces of white cloth overlapping each other, her dress had one red sleeve and on the other hand she had bandages.
"Yes Anko!" she replied and came over to me.
"Na-nani?" you asked, still incapable of moving much.
"It's Okay, we will get you out of here." Said the first one.
She stepped into the light and I could see that she wore a black fishnet top and a brown jacket over the top.
"Uhh?" you moaned, unable to make comprehendible words.
The tall lady slid one of her long slender arms around your thighs and brusquely picked you up, princess style.
'What the hell is happening?' you think to myself.
The short one came up to you and gently said, "Don't worry, we are here to save you." She smiled at you, and then turned and quickly walked out the door.
You notice their Konoha forehead protectors.
'How did they get in here without being spotted,' you think, 'who are these people?'
Then in a flash, they were running, stealthily through the snake hallways.
You were slightly bobbing with the lady's movements.
They all ran with their hands hanging back, for maximum aerodynamics and speed.
The only one who wasn't was the one carrying you, but she still seemed to be able to keep up.
The short one was leading the way around all the corners, you wondered why she was so good at finding her way around the paths that were designed specially by Orochimaru.
She seemed to know all the shortcuts and ways to avoid meeting up with Orochimaru.
Who was this girl, and why did she want to 'rescue' you so much?
You decide to spend the time thinking of the possible options.
Go with them and then turn on them and defeat them once you get outside
Stop them now and go back to your room
Go with them and lay low until you had gained back your strength and then find a way back to the lair and back to your life
You realised that only the last one was possible because of your current issue involving the recovery of the Jutsu performed on you within the past day.
So you remained silent.
You watched all the moves of the 3 Kunoichi who were transporting you.
You secretly sent out a snake from your sleeve with a message on it.
It read:
Orochimaru-sama
I have been taken by some Kunoichi from Konoha; I will lay low for a while
Kimi
The Kunoichi and you are almost outside, you can see the natural light coming in through the entrance. They were running even faster that before.
The one in the front stopped and the two behind her stopped as well.
She looks at the others and says something in a low voice. They nod.
Then suddenly they all separate, and manage to dodge all the traps that are set up outside the entrance.
There was something about the girl that just didn't fit.
They regrouped further away from the entrance and decided that it was safe to stop there.
"Hi," said the shortest ninja, "my name is Mitarashi Anko." She said, with a smile.
"I'm Yuuhi Kurenai," said the other as she put you down.
"And, I'm Suzuki Ai." I looked at the quiet ninja standing next to Anko.
She wore a purple jacket and a pair of brown baggy pants, her hair was brown and short and neatly pushed back out of her eyes.
They all looked at you hopeful.
"Uhh," you started, "I'm Saito Kimi" you make up a last name so that they don't know that you are related to Orochimaru.
They all look at you and smile.
"Well, Kimi-san," started Anko, "How long have you been Orochimaru-sama's prisoner?" she asked.
You were surprised to hear someone from the hidden leaf using the suffix 'sama' (means Lord).
"Umm," you say, not quite knowing how to phrase it, "7 years," you lie.
If you told them that it had been your whole life they would have suspected something and wondered if you were actually working for him.
"Oh." Replied Anko, "What Village did you say you came from?" she asked, obviously curious but trying not to be rude.
"I'm from Sunagakure." You say, "But I used to travel, so I don't follow their customs." You say, knowing that the village hidden in the sand is completely unknown to you.
"Oh, okay." She said, still looking confused. "Tomorrow we'll head back to the Village, and maybe we can get the Hokage-sama to allow you to stay in the village." She said, trying to be friendly.
"Okay." You agree.
"First though," says Kurenai, "Let's have Ai do a medical check on you, we don't know how badly you were treated by Orochimaru." She says with disgust.
"Okay." You say, feeling a bit cautious at showing your monstrous skin.
Ai's POV*
You walk over to Kimi and gently rub her shoulder, trying to make her feel better.
For some reason though, it looks like it make s her feel worse.
"First, I will check your body for any visible injures, okay?" You say to check if she doesn't mind.
She nods her head.
You take her to a nearby waterfall and get her to sit on the shore.
You run your fingers under the bow around her white coat, noticing that it is a typical sound ninja/Orochimaru style.
You pull of the pinkish purple rope, you grab onto the white fabric and pull it off with a quick tug.
You cringe at the sight of her shoulders but decide to continue going.
"Kimi?" you ask and get a small grunt in reply, "could you please unzip your vest so that I can see the damag-" you stop yourself, but it is too late.
You expect the fragile looking girl to start crying 'I'm such a monster!' you expect her to say, but she just nods and does what you say.
You can hear the fabric retract after she unzips the black material.
The vest drops and you hear yourself gasp but then try to cover it up.
But your attempts are unsuccessful.
"Ai?" you hear Anko ask, "Are you okay? Do you need help?"
"Uhuh." You say, unable to speak.
Anko steps through the trees around you and you hear her gasp as well.
Anko's POV*
You cannot believe your eyes, you are staring it Kimi's bare back.
She has got, not one, but many different curse marks; you clutch your own as you cannot take your eyes off the sight.
You feel fear at the sight.
You know much about curse marks anyway, but this was a sight that you had never seen.
"Just continue the examination, Ai." You say shaking, "I will supervise."
Ai looks at you, and sees the fear in your eyes but continues anyway.
You watch as she undresses Kimi further, and you notice that apart from the curse marks, Kimi also has many other differences from the other 'test subjects' of Orochimaru.
She has many more scars covering her body, but they are made faint by the layer of what seemed to be snake skin covering her body.
"Umm?" you hear Kimi say.
"Yeah, Kimi-san?" you reply, wondering what she might tell you.
"I was told that the skin would fade with time." She said, before dropping her head.
You could tell that she felt ashamed and disgusted by herself and you wished that you could help her.
"Don't worry, Kimi-san." You say trying to comfort her.
You smile and she smiles back, but you know it is forced.
Your/Kimi's POV*
You stand up and turn to Anko and Ai, "Thank you." You say with a smile.
You walk over to the waterfall and stand under it, washing your body.
You hiss as the cold water hits your still open wound, 'I should probably refrain from hissing in the future' you think.
You continue to wash your body and afterwards, Ai helps you to bandage your back to help it heal properly.
Even though the snake skin was already over it, you could see the blood and it still felt like it was an open wound.
"I'm fine now." You say, and turn around, "I'm a bit tired though."
"I think we should seal your curse marks-" Anko begins before I cut her off.
"I'm used to them and I can control them pretty good, so thanks but no thanks."
"But-" She begins.
"I really am sleepy."
You say. She wouldn't be able to seal them even if she tried, they were made with your blood, your father's blood.
But you couldn't tell her that because then they would want an explanation.
You yawn as if to prove your point, before slowly closing your eyes and lying down at the base of a tree.
You don't realise the many small snakes creeping out of the trees around you.
The next morning you woke with a fright, you saw many, many snakes of different sizes surrounding you and the team of jonin you were with.
You managed to shoo them away before anyone else woke up.
"Ahh.." yawned Kurenai.
"Mmmh.." answered Ai.
I couldn't see Anko.
She seemed to have gone off somewhere.
Kurenai and Ai began to gather their belongings and prepare for a trip back to Konoha.
And just as we were about to leave, Anko came back with some fish.
The team ate the fish on the way to their destination.
When you reached the gate to Konoha you noticed that there were two ninja guarding the gates.
"YO!" yelled Anko, "Kotetsu! Izumo!" the two men suddenly looked at her.
"Oh hey Anko." Yelled the one with a bandage across his face, the other one just waved.
"What's wrong, Izumo? Don't I even get a hello?" she chuckled.
The 5 ninja stood at the gate reminiscing for what seemed to you like an hour.
You stand next to Ai and she seemed just as quiet as you, you noticed that Ai was the sort of girl who was really shy and didn't talk very much.
"So," asked Kotetsu, "Who's the girl?" he said pointing at me.
'Didn't anyone tell him that it's rude to point!' you want to yell, but stop yourself.
The last thing you need is to start a fight before you even get into Konoha.
"KIMI! Come here!" yelled Anko, I walked slowly towards the two men.
"Hi, my name is Saito Kimi." You say, "It's nice to meet you." You put on your biggest smile.
"Well, Izumo." Says Kotetsu, "She's kind of cute, don't ya' think...?" he says trailing off.
'What kind of ninja are these people, they don't take anything seriously!'
Izumo just smiles at you and blushes, you smile back and wave.
You decide that it would be safest to make some people trust you, because if push comes to shove you would like some people on your side.'
"Well," starts Kurenai, "I think we need to get Kimi-san to go see the Hokage-sama." She says and smiles at you.
She starts to walk into the village and you follow her, "Yea Kurenai, we'll see you later." says Anko and Ai just stands there waiting.
"We'll see ya' round, Kimi-chan!" says Kotetsu, he grabs Izumo in a headlock and this makes him blush uncontrollably as he waves to me.
"They were nice." You say, trying to make small talk.
"Yeah," she agrees, "they are nice."
"Kurenai Sensei!" you hear a boy yell.
Kurenai's hear whips around to see one of her new students running towards her.
He was wearing a grey parka with black fur around the hood.
Soon after him was a girl wearing a brownish-grey jacket and a boy who wore a green coat and black sunglasses.
"Who's the chick?" the loud boy asks as soon as he sees you.
"This is -" Kurenai started.
"What's it to you?" you say, the annoyance seeping into your voice.
Kurenai is stunned, and you realise that you let your true self come out.
"Hahahaha!" the boy laughed. "I like you. The name's Kiba!" he says sticking out his hand.
It smelled like dog.
You put your hand into his and shook it, "I'm Kimi." You say, giving in.
"Kimi?" he said, testing it. You nod.
"That's an awesome name!" he smiled and you couldn't help but laugh.
The other boy and girl stood there staring at the exchange.
"I'm Shino." Says the tall serious looking guy.
"Hey! Shino! Stop trying to make a move on my gal!" yells Kiba.
Shino just brushes it off like he's used to it.
"I'm Hinata." Says the quiet, shy girl.
"It's nice to meet you." You say; laughter in your voice.
You smile at both of them, and back at Kiba who is looking left out.
His face lights up.
"We have to go now." Says Kurenai walking off, you almost forgot that she was there.
"Yes." You say, standing to attention.
You hear Kiba laugh as you march after her.
She walks with you to a big building towards the back of the village it is the tallest building and it has the Kanji for fire written on it.
She walks with you into the building and up to the counter.
"I would like to speak to the Hokage-sama." States Kurenai.
The lady behind the counter looked at you, and then back to Kurenai.
"Please take a seat, he will be but a moment." She says and smiles unconvincingly.
'I hate it when people give false smiles, especially when they can't even give a convincing one'
You sit down and Kurenai picks up a magazine.
You look around the room and see many other ninja waiting in the same room as you.
After a couple of minutes you hear a loud bang and Anko comes storming in.
"Let's go Kimi-san. Kurenai, I'll take it from here!" she yells and grabs your hand.
She begins to pull you by your arm through the hallways.
You notice that they are much more spacious than the underground tunnels that you are used to.
"Didn't we need to wait, like everyone else?" you ask Anko.
"Nope, I got us special clearance from the Hokage-sama." She cheerily says.
You have to run to keep up.
She brings you to a room marked 'Hokage's office.'
She waves you in, and smiles.
You knock on the door, and hear a grunted reply.
I hope that you all liked it.
