The Dark Cloaked Lady Charlotte Faith didn't have to remain on the stranger's strong shoulders for very long because before she knew what was going on, She was being took into a dank underground cavern of some sort very far away from her own Kingdom. She couldn't tell to much about the space in which she was being carried because it was to dark to really see anything other then musty rock formations blurring by as the man made his way farther into where ever it was he was taking them.
Eventually they came into a more well lit area due to candles placed among rock walls but still nothing made any sense to Faith. She was starting to become panicky again by the time the man finally slowed down to open up one of the many doors they passed. He walked them slowly into the room beyond that door which was just a simple room with a long table and many chairs setup around it. Into one of those chairs the large man sat her down and much to her disliking the guy stood behind her as if he was awaiting his next set of orders or something. Charlotte took a moment to take in her surroundings and she realized that among all those chairs three of them were already occupied by the most oddest collection of what she assumed were males although it was a little hard to tell just by looking since they had such feminine features.
Sitting there thinking to herself: What have I gotten myself into here, Maybe this wasn't the best course of action after all. Her thoughts were interrupted when the large man who brought her in started to speak to the long black haired, very white skinned slender man position at the head of the table. Just one look was enough for Charlotte to realize that this guy was in charge of things because he had a certain Devilish Leadership air surrounding him.
" My Lord Orochimaru, The mission was a success more so then we originality thought." He took a moment to bow before going on making Faith even more uncomfortable in the process." This girl was in trouble so I brought her here to you Master, Since you said you were in need of more test subjects...Now may I please be locked back up in my cell before my urges take me over once more."
Then the Orange Spiky haired dude started nervously shifting from one of his enormous feet to the other as he awaited the Serpent resembling man's responds. Luckily to both Faith and the Buff Guy's relief, They didn't have to wait very long for the bizarre skinny man turned his slanted eyes towards Charlotte Faith clearly sizing her up as he spoke to the big guy behind her not once looking at him.
" Yes Juugo, Go on back to your cell, I am done with you for now...If I need you again I will send Kabuto."
He didn't have to tell Juugo twice the man was all to happy to leave that he practically ripped the door off the hinges trying to get out as fast as he could to return to his sanctuary even if it was a cell it seemed to sooth the large man's killing rages.
The long dark haired man and the one with glasses stared down Faith after Juugo left, The other spiky haired guy in the room seemed more or less not interested in what was happening around him.
" Well Master, What shell do we do with her? If I should be so bold as to make a suggestion, I suggest we should begin with seeing what we have to work with... I can tell nothing of her physical alignment with that godawful hooded cloak she has on... If it would please you Sire, I would be more then willing to remove it from her by force if need be." that came spilling out of the mouth of the white haired glasses wearing guy Kabuto Yakushi.
Charlotte Faith started shaking after hearing that, The last thing she wanted was for anyone to remove her cloak and even though she wasn't much of a fighter she was not willing to allow these strange men de-cloak her because that would mean they would find out that she was not as she seemed. Deciding the best option to save herself from having to go into details about what was hidden beneath her cloak was to give them a small gander. She reached up her hands still shaking slightly as she pulled back her hood to reveal her thick unnatural looking dark bloody crimson red hair along with pure snow-white stripes only covering her parted bangs {{Think Rogue's hairstyle from X-Men}} along with her scared patched up face for the first time to anyone outside of her own homeland.
All of her facial features were pleasant enough to look at until you took notice of her eyes which was almost impossible not to notice due to one of them having a black eye-patch covering over the entire eye with a long scar running above and underneath the said patch clearly it had been sliced opened at some point. Faith's other eye was in plain sight, However it was not normal by any means for one thing it was of unusual coloring: A dark purple Iris & Sclera very little white portions visible and probably the most bizarre part about her eye was the Pupil itself instead of the normal black dot as most eyes showed Charlotte Faith had what appeared to have been a deep green upside down five-pointed star pentagram with tiny unrecognizable symbols embedded along the outer circle.
"Humph, From the looks of her face It's obvious she was already someone's test subject...I don't really give a shit what you do with her just keep whatever it is quiet caz I'm gonna go lay down for awhile and I don't want to be disturbed for any reason." The spiky haired guy Sasuke Uchiha commented before standing up and walking out of the room without so much as another word to any of them.
"Sasuke's right, She does seem to have been an experimental piece to someone, So no Kabuto we will not being testing on her... However, I would like to keep her around and observe her for awhile... Those eyes shield such power... Do you not find them as intriguing as I, Eh Kabuto?"
"Yes Master, I could sense the power radiating off of her the moment Juugo brought her into the room but I also have not been able to detect even the slightest trace of Chakra present in any of the cell in her body...Ether she has some way of suppressing sensory of her Chakra OR She has no Chakra whatsoever... My guess would be the latter of the two since right now she looks oddly confused by this conversation... Almost asif she has no idea what we are talking about."
Kabuto was not wrong in his observation because Charlotte really had no idea what Chakra was as she sat there looking back and forth between both men with one of her eyebrows raised in clear confusion for their conversation was going completely over her limited understanding of things. The only thing she truly grasped was that the one called Orochimaru did not want to experiment on her while the one called Kabuto did. Faith had already had more then her own fair share of being a test subject in the past and she was not about to become someone else's if she could help it.
"Hmm interesting, Now that you mentioned it Kabuto I believe you are right... She doesn't say much ether, Does she? We don't even know her name."
"Perhaps she doesn't know how to speak my Lord."
Orochimaru got up from the head of the table walking closer towards Faith making her panic start up again with each step he took until he finally stopped just short of where she was sitting. He then seated himself on the table right in front of where she was seated so that he was face to face with her. He sat there for awhile with his hand on his chin watching Charlotte Faith as she tried to calm her nerves which must of been written all over her face because suddenly Orochimaru let out a small smirk of a laugh before saying to her:" Relax child, I have no intentions of harming you at this time... However I would like to know if you can in fact speak or not?"
In responds to that question Faith nodded her head yes.
"I see...Well, Perhaps introductions would be nice...I'll even get us started...My name is Orochimaru, I'm one of the Three Legendary Sennin and the man behind me is Kabuto Yakushi my loyal servant...A Splendid Shinobi in his own right."
Behind Orochimaru's back Kabuto blushed a little as he heard that last part about him because he was not used to such compliments from his master or from anyone really.
"Lastly the young man with a chip on his shoulder who left the room is Sasuke Uchiha...Now I believe It's your turn to introduce yourself my dear." he ended his introductions by planting a friendly enough smile on his snake-like face and tried to take one of Charlotte's hands only for her to jerk it away before he could touch her.
She then cleared her throat before opening her mouth and talking for the first time in days: "Faith...Charlotte Faith...Please don't touch... Don't like to be touched." Faith let that sink in with both men before she want on to ask: " What is Chakra, Sennin and Shinobi? Don't know those words."
"You're joking right? Are you seriously telling me that you have no idea even what a Shinobi Ninja is? asked Kabuto in complete disbelief until he seen her shaking her head no and flinching as his tone of voice raised."What have you been living under a rock all your life or something, How could you not know what those things are?!"
"Alright, That's enough Kabuto and tell me what country did Juugo find her in?'
"In the Land of Steel...The-Iron-Fist Kingdom to be exact but why does that matter my Lord."
"Then that explains why she has no understandings of the Shinobi World...The Land of Steel is not a Shinobi territory...They are more Medieval and tend to stick with Knights and Mages of Yore...Hardly any citizen of that land knows anything about our Ninja ways especially not those that are from the Iron-Fist... The Royals have prohibited any contact at all with the outsider Shinobis and even want as far as to band them from their lands with Death as the penalty for any who dare enter without permission... It's called Iron-Fist for a reason Kabuto... They have a group of Knights simply known as the Royal Knights and they are supposedly as ruthless as they come and show no mercy to anyone not even their own kin."
At the mention of the Royal Knights, Charlotte Faith jumped up out of her chair knocking it backwards to the floor. She didn't go anywhere or do anything just stood there in fear as Christian Fate's image flashed through her mind.
Nether Orochimaru nor Kabuto knew how to react to her sudden movement but at that moment the entire structure they were in started to rattle which was only supposed to happen if invaders entered the various barriers set up around the outskirts of their hideout.
"Kabuto, It seems we have unwanted guests...Go take care of them and make sure that they don't disturb Sasuke...As for you my lovely Faith, Come with me...I will personally give you a short guided tour and explain in better detail what I have planned for the likes of you my dear."
With that being said all three of them left the room Kabuto going in the direction towards the entrance and Charlotte Faith following behind Orochimaru in the opposite direction going deeper into their lair and into her new home away from home at least for the time being that is.
