Sasuke nods, and walks away. When Iysha starts checking again, she hears someone else come up behind her. She instantly goes still when she hears a snake hiss.
"So you've been helping the boy." Orochimaru says with a hint of anger in his voice.
"He is the leader of my clan. So, yes, I have." Iysha says, turning to glare at Orochimaru, who grabs her by the back of the neck.
"You would do well to remember just WHO you belong to." Orochimaru says in outrage.
"Which...is not YOU!" Iysha shouts, wincing in pain at the strength of his hold. Orochimaru hisses.
"Very well. I guess I shall have to teach you a lesson." Orochimaru says as he slams her to the ground, causing her to lose her breath. As she gasps for air, she hears someone come up next to her.
"I have done as you asked." Kabuto says in a bored tone.
"Very well. Make sure everything is ready for tomorrow." Orochimaru says in a barely contained voice. Iysha's eyes go wide as she starts to squirm. Orochimaru knocks her out, picks her up, and carries her away.
Morning comes, and Iysha wakes up, touching her neck unconsciously, where she finds a collar. When she looks next to her, she sees none other than Orochimaru letting his messenger hawk go.
"What-" Iysha begins, but is cut off.
"According to that note, you are very ill, and will not be attending the third exam." Orochimaru says, not looking at her. He picks up a cloak, and throws it at her. "Put it on." He commands. Iysha looks at it, and stands up. She puts it on. When she moves her right arm, she feels a jolt of pain shoot through it.
"You do know that you busted my arm, right?" Iysha questions, glaring at Orochimaru, who turns to look at her.
"What does it matter when your dominant fight hand is your left?" Orochimaru questions, raising an eyebrow.
"Not the point." Iysha says, shaking her head. She sighs, and walks toward the window, where she pulls the hood over her head, and turns back to Orochimaru.
"Let's go." Orochimaru says as he motions for her to follow him.
The two of them walk into the exam arena. As they do, Orochimaru changes shape until he looks nothing like himself.
During the exam, Sasuke's battle has just been interrupted. Iysha looks around the arena at all the ninja fighting from her perch in the Hokage box. She suddenly sees Sasuke run off, and instantly runs after him. She catches up to him, and smiles at the surprise on his face.
"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be helping the others?" Sasuke questions, looking at her with critical eyes.
"I am doing my duty. I am protecting the leader of my clan." Iysha says, smiling fondly at Sasuke, who shakes his head as they continue to run through the trees. They catch up with Gaara, and after a while of fighting, Iysha protects Sasuke from an attack, and gets badly wounded. Sasuke stops what he's doing, and runs over to her.
"What's wrong? Are you all right?" Sasuke questions, looking down at her with worried eyes. She smiles up at him.
"I am fine. I shall be joining my family in a short while..." Iysha says as she closed her eyes.
"NO!" Sasuke shouts as he grasps her body in his arms, holding her in a vice-grip until Kakashi and Asuma appear. They have to literally tear Sasuke off of her in order to heal her wounds.
A week or so later, Iysha slowly opens her eyes. She looks up, only to see that she's in a hospital. She sits straight up, only to have Kakashi push her back down.
"Please don't test his ability to keep control of himself anymore than you already have." Kakashi says in a quiet voice as he looks toward the door, which suddenly flies open, revealing a red eye, messy haired Sasuke. He runs up to her bed, and collapses next to it.
"What is wrong, my Lord?" Iysha asks, looking at Sasuke in confusion. He looks up at her before planting a kiss right on her lips.
"Please stay with my forever." Sasuke pleads, looking at her with sorrowful eyes. Iysha smiles.
"Of course I will, my Lord." Iysha says as she pushes a piece of Sasuke's hair behind his ear.
