When I awoke, I couldn't tell if it was light outside or not. Anko was awake. I knew that because I was the only one in the room when I woke up. Kimimaro came bursting into the room. "Kimimaro!" I yelled "What are you doing!?"
"Oh, Mailo, you're awake."
"Yeah, I just woke up. What did you want?"
"Your dad told me to come in here and wake you up. He says he needs to see you right away."
"Okay. I'll be with him in a few. Just let me get dressed and showered."
"Okay, see you."
"Kimimaro?"
"Yes?"
"Where's Anko?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
"Thanks. Okay, now get out of my room!" I yelled as I pushed him out and closed the door on his face. When I was ready, I opened the door. Kabuto was there, waiting to take me to my dad. I wonder what was happening? Usually, if Orochimaru wanted to see me, I would go to his office, but this time it looked like Kabuto was leading me somewere else. We soon got to a small house that looked like a storage room. Kabuto didn't talk the whole way there. I was nervous. Kabuto graved my shirt by the scruff and threw me in. It was dark when Kabuto closed the doors. I couldn't even see my own hands.
"Who's there?" I heard someone ask in the darkness. It sounded like Ankos voice.
"Anko, is that you? It's me: Mailo."
"Mailo, do you know where we're at?"
"No, Anko, I don't." The doors opened. The darkness faded to be returned by the the light.
Orochimaru walked in. "My two, most lovable, little ones."
"Dad, where's Kaya?"
"She will be here shortly: Kabuto went to go get her."
"Speak of the devil..." Kabuto threw Kaya in the room with us. Kaya crawled right next to me.
"Mailo," she said in a scared voice, "why are we here?"
"I don't know, Kaya..I'm sorry."
"Now...let's get this over with."
"Dad!" I yelled. "What are you going to do with us?" I asked through tears.
"My dear, don't worry. I will be quick."
"You didn't answer my question!"
"Your question will be answered with time." Orochimaru extented his neck and bit Anko. Kaya and I watched in fear. When Orochimaru stopped biting Anko, he left a mark. "Next," he said as he pointed to me. I was terrified when he did that to me. The mark he gave me started bringing immense pain into my body. I saw Kaya get one, too. I passed out after I heard Orochimaru say, "Let's go, Kabuto. We will come back tomorrow and see if they're still alive." They closed the door and I was out.
.................................................................
The door opened. The light came in. Orochimaru stepped in. I was awake. So was Kaya, and Anko, by the look of it. "Well, Kabuto, it seems that they're still alive."
"So it seems, my lord." He walked over to anko. I didn't hear a word they said. I was too worried about what was going to happen next. I glanced over in Anko's direction. She grabbed Orochimaru's legs. Since we were all close to each other, I grabbed Orochimaru's leg.
"Dad, what did you do to us? It hurts, it burns!"
"I will explain it in due time."
"No! I'm tired of waiting for you to explain yourself! If you don't tell me what's going on right now--"
"I'm sorry, Mailo my sweet, but I can't."
I started crying. "Why? Why?" I got up.
"Mailo! No, you shouldn't do that! Please, you have to rest."
"No. I'm not going to rest. I'm sick and tired of having to listen to what you say." I ran out of the bulding. Orochimaru tried to run after me, but was too fast. I ran as far away from the Sound that my body would take me that day. I waited for two years to return to the Sound. What happens when I return, I have no idea. I was scared going back, but I had to.
