Chapter 2
Lily woke up alone. She reached over and though she didn't expect to feel him beside her she still did so anyway. The crinkle of paper on his pillow shocked her. She sat up quickly, thinking that she did something she shouldn't. 'What did I do wrong? I came didn't I?' But the note quickly written said simply I have noticed you need some new clothes. Here is a small sum of money to spend. You'll know when to get back. She felt over her left breast the mate mark was warm with his chakra. It was different from the curse marks the others had. This one, instead of unbearable pain when it's applied, brings an overwhelming sense of sexual longing. 'No,' she thought. 'It's more like birds finding their lifemate. Only this wasn't made for love or bonding. I am just a sexual tool.'
She got up and went to her own room in the compound to dress. 'He's right. These are just a little too loose.' She thought to herself as the slacks that fitted perfectly last month were now baggy around her waist. She found one of her belts and put it around her waist setting it to a hole tighter than her waist. Finally, she donned her peasant top showing a pretty set of shoulders. She was always too thin. The biggest things she had were her breasts which were a 32 C. In her mind, she never believed that she was pretty or beautiful. She was homely and ok with that fact. She sat at her vanity and brushed her red black hair. She fixed it in a complicated knot bun. She liked the look of her face when her hair was out of the way. She guessed it was a soft angular oval shape. 'Well best get going.' She smiled glad for the privileges he gave her. She was treated different from the rest in Sound. She knew that it was not kindness or respect that these privileges were given. It was because one day she will have his son.
Three weeks later
Lily walked gently around the compound. Her course hadn't come at all yet and if there was a baby she didn't want to dislodge it. She wanted to avoid seeing Kabuto until she was sure that she was pregnant. She had had a phobia of doctors since her brother died. Lily walked gently up the stairs to the roof. The sun was setting. She loved watching the sunset. When she was younger, maybe six or seven, her whole family watched the setting sun until the colors started to become the blues of twilight is when they would gather around and tell stories to each other. It would go mother then father and then her brothers would start fighting to tell first. Shuichi, the eldest of all sixteen of her brothers and who was now the Kurakage, usually won. These things stopped when mother then father lost their lives for the village. Lily cherishes the few happy memories she has such as this. She hadn't noticed that the sky was getting darker. Lily was shocked when a small hand touched her shoulder. She looked up to see either Sakon or Ukon she couldn't tell between them usually. "Orochimaru-sama wants to see you." "Tell him I will be there in a minute, k?"
