Shibo yawned loudly as Tsunade glared at Orochimaru.

"Why are you here?" Shibo hissed at Tsunade. Orochimaru held Shibo close to him, and she went silent.

"Well, let's see…" Orochimaru turned Shibo to face Tsunade, and peeled off the bandage covering her eye. She yelled out in pain and kicked Orochimaru's shin, missing and stubbing her toe on the wall. She kneeled down, hissing loudly at her father. Orochimaru held Shibo close to him, petting her head to calm her down. Shizune growled as Kabuto snickered.

"Orochimaru, what happened to her eye?" Shibo's eye was a clouded shade of green, no pupil visible. She held her eye in shame, hiding her face in Orochimaru's haori. Orochimaru took out a new bandage and covered up Shibo's eye. She continued to hide her face, as though in pain of the light.

"Let's say we were successful in killing the Hokage." Tsunade gave him a nasty glare.

"Which you were. I heard about that, but her eye…?" Orochimaru looked down at Shibo.

"A woman named…Kaoru Uirusu sliced it with a silver blade. You remember Kaoru-chan, right, Tsunade…?" Tsunade gasped. Orochimaru continued,

"Kaoru was also responsible for everything that happened nearly 11 years ago…that winter day…" Shibo started singing something. It was quiet, but Orochimaru knew what it was. Orochimaru smiled, and held her closer. Tsunade raised a brow as Shibo glared at her with her good eye. Shizune dashed in front of Tsunade, and pulled up her sleeve. Launchers for needles were strapped to her arm, and she pulled on the strings. Kabuto got in front of Shibo and Orochimaru, kunai at hand. Shibo's eye closed, and opened wide, glowing a deep bloody red. Shizune froze in fear, and Kabuto stayed in position. Shibo jumped up on the top of the wall, setting herself on it.

"Enough. No more fighting, or those who fight will die by my hand." She crossed her legs, "Now, we came here to get my eye healed, and what else, father?" Orochimaru looked up at Shibo, a bit afraid. He cleared his throat, and looked at Tsunade, who was petrified with fear. Shizune looked at her, worried.

"Lady Tsunade…?"

"I want you to become my assistant. Since you are not a rogue ninja, you can access the restricted library and get Ai's notes. Once we revive her, you may return to whatever you please. If you say no…well, I guess we'll have to force you to…" Tsunade snapped back into focus.

"Why should I join you?" Shibo growled loudly.

"He just said why. Once you bring my mother back, you can tell anyone anything you want, except for the jutsu…" Shizune glared at Shibo.

"We refuse!" Shibo closed her eyes.

"My little one,

I give to you,

The strength to live, to fight,

But now, you must sleep,

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,

My little one,

No matter what they do to you,

Your family will be there,

My dearest.

You must rest now.

Sleeping dormant with you,

Is a power they can only fear.

I can only hope that you will live to see the one who will love you forever.

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,

My little one.

No matter what they say,

We will be here to love you forever,

Through heaven and hell, we will love you.

Love will never die even though we will." Shibo teared up.

" I want my mother back…I can only remember the lullaby cause father sings it to me once in a while…" Shizune looked away, feeling guilty. Tsunade sighed,

"I can't choose now…"

"That's why we're giving you a week. Shibo will remain with you in order to ensure you don't escape from us, or her." Kabuto adjusted his glasses. Shibo slid down next to Orochimaru. He nodded, and he and Kabuto vanished. Shibo remained, an empty look in her eye. She walked away slowly, each step resounding a soft 'clack' on the stone steps.

Tsunade and Shizune sat with Shibo, Shibo eating a small meal. Tsunade was drinking sake, Shizune was holding Ton-Ton.

"You know, Shibo, I knew your mother."

"No kidding? I thought you two were strangers." Shibo sipped on her soda. Tsunade looked at Shibo.

"I am your godmother, you know that, right?" Shibo nodded.

"I know that. Father told me…" Her tone was turning more bitter every minute.

"What is up with you? Yesterday, you seemed happier than this." Shibo set down her glass.

"Well, maybe it's cause I was expecting to go home after today. Now I'm going to be stuck here for another week, all alone!" Tsunade looked up.

"You're not going to be alone. If need me, you can always talk to me-"

"You know nothing about us! Why are you trying to make us look like the bad guys when Konoha is in the wrong!" Shibo wiped tears away. She was shaking slightly. Jiraiya walked in to the entrance of the resturaunt, and stared at the three at the table in the back. She looked at Jiraiya, and slipped under the table. Jiraiya walked over and fished a hissing Shibo. Naruto laughed as Shibo went to the middle part of the booth. She knew she was trapped by these morons, it was a matter of time before she would ask to go to where she was sleeping.

"Well, well, well, this is quite a party." Jiraiya ordered for some food for Naruto and Shibo, and a few bottles of the finest sake. They man brought over a couple purple bottles and a cup. Shibo tried to reach for it, but her hand was slapped away by chopsticks. She glared at Jiraiya.

"Father lets me drink."

"Well, your father isn't here now, so you can't drink." Shibo growled. Naruto was watching her, which in turn was pissing her off quicker.

"Will you stop looking at me like that, you freak?" She curled up in the corner, her ears flat.

"How am I a freak when you're Orochimaru's daughter?" Shibo's eyes widened. Tears quickly filled them and she slipped under the table and ran out the door, sobbing. Tsunade glared at Naruto.

"You idiot. You made her cry." Jiyaiya got up.

"I'll go talk to her." Tsunade looked at him.

"Be careful, she's really easy to make worst right now." Jiraiya nodded, and headed out to find Shibo.

Shibo laid in her room, all alone in the now quiet house. Her father wasn't there to go to cry to or anything. She felt all alone, and no one cared. All of the sudden, she heard footsteps in the house. She got up and opened the sliding door to Jiraiya, and slammed it shut in his face. She quickly hid in the closet, but he caught her. She screamed out as he sat her down on her futon. She crawled to the closet and took out her katana.

"STAY BACK! I'LL KILL YOU IF I MUST!" Jiraiya stepped back, and sat down on the other side of the room.

"Shibo, what's wrong?"

"NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!"

"Come on, calm down already."

"GET OUT!" He sighed.

"You know, the fact you're acting this way makes me think you're not cut out for this mission…" Shibo snarled.

"I was expecting to go home after today! NOW LEAVE ME ALOONEEE!" Someone came in into the main room quickly. The sliding door opened to be Orochimaru. He glared at Jiraiya as Shibo ran over to him.

"Thank god you're here, father!" Orochimaru held Shibo, glaring at Jiraiya still.

"GET. OUT." Jiraiya stood up, and slipped out the door and back into town. Shibo yawned, and collapsed. Orochimaru held her, smiling.

"Go to sleep, little one…"
