Raku: Hmph. *sits down and looks at fingernails*

Me: Gomen'nasai for the short chapter, it's only 693 words.


Chapter 5

Tsunade sighed in frustration. She put her elbows on her desk, and rubbed her temples. She must be harder to get, huh? She thought. Shizune looked at her, and Tonton made a pig noise. Tsunade sat up, and looked at Shizune.

"Have some ANBU retrieve team seven at once," Tsunade demanded.

"Hai," Shizune said, walking quickly out of her office. Tsunade got up from her chair, and turned around to look out the window. She sighed, thinking who this Raku girl really was.

...

Sasuke sighed as he walked down the hall of the hideout. Again… What does this asshole want now? He thought as he stood in front of Orochimaru's door. He reached his hand out to open the door, but stopped when he heard a chuckle from inside the room.

"So when are you planning to get rid of Sasuke-kun?" Kabuto said from in the room. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the door. Get rid of…?

"I don't know. I don't want him to be too shocked," Orochimaru said in his sickly voice.

"Of course. I'd never thought you'd be so thoughtful about another one's feelings, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto said. Sasuke heard some glasses being moved around. He took a step back. Well, more like slide his foot on the ground, making a swishing noise.

Kabuto looked at the door. He stared for a minute, and then picked up the tray with a couple glasses on it.

"I'll return shortly with your medicine, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto said, bowing slightly before walking towards the door. He opened it, and walked out, closing the door behind him. Orochimaru chuckled to himself. Yes… Raku Namiruke will be my new vessel. But… Sasuke-kun has to be out of the picture, first. Orochimaru thought to himself, smirking. He looked up when he heard a knocking at his door. He narrowed his eyes, but they got wide when he saw a stream of chakra pierce through the door. He put his arms up an X form, blocking the chakra before it could reach his chest.

"W-Who's there?!" He shouted. He watched as the door was cut to pieces, and was a bit surprised to see Sasuke standing there. Orochimaru chuckled slightly.

"So you came…" He said quietly.

...

Raku sighed, and wiped some sweat off of her forehead. Today was a long day. Longer than others seemed to be. She sat on her bed, and stretched, falling backwards in the process. She closed her eyes for a minute, but opened them up when she heard an ear-piercing screeching noise. She sat up quite slowly, and stared at her door. She groaned, and covered her ears with her hands when it came again. She slowly stood to her feet, and walked to her door, opening it and stepping out.

She walked, and kept walking until she fell to her knees. She used the wall to stand herself up, and continued to walk. She stopped when she was Orochimaru's door that was in pieces on the ground. She slowly tip-toed her way closer, and stopped when she saw Sasuke come out. She looked at him, his face emotionless. She slowly walked closer to the room, seeing that there was blood on the ground. She got weak, and slowly slid down the wall. Wha… What's happening to me…? She thought as her eyes closed.


Raku: And you say I'm being bitchy?! What happened to me?!

Me: *ignores Raku* O yomi itadaki, arigatogozaimashita! :3 (Translation: Thank you for reading! :3)
