"Sasuke-kun." Came a voice. Sasuke turned his head, only to see the woman from before standing beside him.
"What do you want?" He asked coldly, causing the girl to feel uncomfortable.
" Uh..well, I heard you speaking with our lord. He is certainly angry. I can teach you how to converse with him.. if you want." She stuttered.
"Why would I want to do that?" He asked angrily, shrugging.
"Well, once he's in a horrible mood. He stays in that mood. If you cross him, he's tempted to kill." She replyed.
"Okay.." He started, turning his whole body to face her as he rested his hands on his hips.
"I'll let you teach me...IF you can find me someone to train with.." Sasuke offered, as a smile swept across the girl's face.
"Of course! I have the perfect person!" She exclaimed. "By the way, my name is Genji, now follow me." She said, begging to walk down the dark corridor.
Having no choice, Sasuke quickly caught up with her. She lead him downstairs, turning corners almost constantly. Soon they reached a courtyard that stood in the middle of the mansion. Sasuke bearly had anytime to study his surroundings as they immediatly entered the house again, practically going throgh the same routine. Soon they were outside again, but not in a courtyard. They were on a dirt path, in an atrium. The plants were sadly unkept, and they all were a depressing mud color. Every one of them dead and hung over from where they once lived. Many vines grew, up the stained glass windows, hanging down and coiling around more plants. Sasuke held his nose as he smelt the sickening stencth that filled the air he breathed. He peered over at the girl, who must have been used to the smell as she didn't seem to care. At the end of the atrium, there was a rusty old building, cracked windows, unhinged door, rusted walls. Sasuke grew nervous as they entered the building. Inside it was even more deppressing. Cells stood on each side of the wall, it was like a jail. She lead him down the asle, he looked in each cell. People were acually locked in them! Some were curled up in a corner, and others were dead. There was a loud huff, and they heard chains rattling continusly. Saskue looked into one of the cells, there was a man chained up to the walls, his cheast bare, his body blood stained. His breathing was so loud, both Genji and the Uchiha could hear it. The man's head looked up, and as Sasuke looked deeper into the cell, he noticed that the man's eyes were cut out of his own sockets! He drew back with a groan. How could Orochimaru treat people in such a way, it was murder. This was preposterios! Sasuke thought.
"Sasuke.. Is something the matter?" Asked Genji, as she stopped and turned back to look at the young boy.
"Umm..No" He lied, dipping down his head and rushing ahead. He couldn't belive what he had seen, did she see it? She stopped in front of a cell just a little ways up. A young man stood in the corner looking hoplessly out the barred window that he often retreated to in his times of bordom. His hair was a long white, his clothes tattered and dirty.
"Kimimaro-San" Genji called. The man turned his head and as soon as he noteced the woman at the other side of the bars he smiled widely.
"Hello Genji-Sama." He greeted her, as he slowly walked up to her. She held out her hand towards Sasuke.
"Kimimaro, this is Sasuke. He just recently joined up with us." She introduced him.
"Nice to meet you Sasuke." Responded Kimimaro, holding out his hand from the bars. Sasuke shook the hand of the young man, he looked him strait in the eye, and it was only then that he noticed the two bright red dots on his forehead. He let go, wiping his hand on the back of his pants, so his hand wouldn't be so dirty.
"Kimimaro-San. Sasuke needs a sensai to train with, I thought... you know, since your never busy and all. That, you could train him??" Replyed Genji, shyly.
Kimimaro looked at Sasuke and then at Genji, smiling widely.
"...Okay! It's better than sitting here all day! How about we start first thing tomarrow? In the courtyard??" He suggested. Sasuke nodded.
"...By the way, Genji-Chan. Where is Kabuto-Sama? He said he wanted to speak with me but he never showed." He explained. Sasuke's eyes widend as he heard the name.
Kabuto?!?!? Is he working for Orochimaru!?? No...He can't.. Thought Sasuke, still in shock.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him all day." She responded, fixing her rope to pervent from showing the two boys anything.(What? Orochimaru makes her wear it!!)
"Well, if you see him, tell him I'm looking for him." Asked Kimimaro as Sasuke and Genji headed out the door.
"Will do!" Genji yelled with a smile. She lead Sasuke back inside, walking upstairs and heading to a room.
"This is your room, Sasuke." She said, reaching into the pocket of her robe, and pulling out a gold colored key. She handed it to him and he took it, putting it in his pocket.
"Thanks..." He mumbled.
"No problem. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a job to do." She explained, bowing slightly as she walked past him.
"See ya!" She shouted, just before turning the corner.
"Yeah. See ya" Sasuke mumbled with a frown as he unlocked the door to his new room.
