Italics = Dreams/thoughts

Karin's POV

Darkness. Nothing but pure, cold darkness. There was nobody around me, but I could sense a presence, and it is a dark one.

"I know you're here! Come out from where you are hiding!"

A large man who resembled a snake appeared from the ground, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Yes, my name…is Orochimaru. I just love your chakra sensing powers. You are quite the kunoichi, say, where is your family?"

"They…died, there were…so many ninjas. I tried to warn them."

"Aww your poor thing, how come they didn't listen to you?"

"My parents hated me...they said I was a freak...my mother used to…."

"What did she do?"

"She used to beat me, she would throw dishes at me, she would lock me in the closet, and not feed me for days. She was a stupid bitch and I'm glad she is finally dead."

I realized what I had just said. I had never cursed in my life, let alone talk down about my mother, no matter how much she hated me.

"Looks like your anger is beginning to finally blossom."

"Oh!"

I stormed up from my rather dark dream. I looked around the room, and it was a giant blur. I was able to squint hard enough to notice my glasses gently placed next to my hospital bed.

"Wait a second, how did I get here?" I screamed to myself.

My thoughts were interrupted when the door swung open and I saw a tall girl who had blonde hair in a pony tail, with ocean blue eyes. The blonde headed girl gave me a quick glance, but then turned around and headed out the door.

"Well, that was weird, why was she in my room? Was she a nurse?"

That was when the same blonde headed girl came back into the room, and sat down next to me.

"Hello, my name is Ino, sorry about before, I needed to tell the Lady Tsunade of your awakening. I'm your nurse, I am happy you are okay, you almost died out there." Said Ino.

"What the hell even happened to me?"

"I am not too sure, but you took quite the beating, but what I do think is that you were pierced by a…er…what is that jutsu….um..Chidori!" exclaimed Ino.

I laid there in shock.

"How could Sasuke do this to me? What happened? Why would he do such a thing? I helped him! Did he betray me? My Sasuke would NEVER do such a thing….right?"

I laid there with yet another look, this one being a puzzled one.

"Hello? ARE YOU ALIVE?" screamed Ino

She woke me up from my thoughts and I screamed right back at her.

"DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD?"

"Hehe…sorry." Said Ino apologetically

"Whatever" I replied

"You need to get some rest!" screamed Ino

She turned off the light, and ran out of the room. I laid back down and closed my eyes, hoping that the same dream would not occur again. My hopes were unfortunately, not fulfilled.
