"Genji?" He called to the young woman.

She wimpered as he grabbed her. She was crying, but what was wrong?

" Genji? What's the matter?" Kabuto asked. Slowly she pulled down the blanket showing him the bruise that resided on her leg. It was redish brown, a horribly disqusting mixture of colors that managed to make Kabuto ALMOST puke. He was utterly speechless to words as he stared in horror. She was the lord's favorite servent! He must be quite angry to have hurt her like that, she was lucky she didn't lose her life.

" Hold on, I'll help you. Just let me take your back to your room before Lord Orochimaru sees us." He said, gently picking her up, trying not to cause anymore pain for her.

(Hello everyone. I'm sorry I haven't written alot. I'm sorry to say I'm having Boy-friend troubles. Don't be upset if I don't post the next chapter. I will within a weeks time. I have a lot of reveiws from many people so finishing this is needed. Sooooooooo...Yeah.)

She grasped onto him, to prevent herself from falling, ensuring her own safety. Sasuke, sitting patiently by Genji's bedroom door, sudenly heard footsteps coming from around the corner. He turned his head. Kabuto had just appered, with Genji in his arms, walking down the hallway. Sasuke immediatly stood up.

"Kabuto, I ha-" Sasuke was interuppted.

"Hold on." Said Kabuto in a rash tone, as he opened the door. Sasuke curiously following him in. Kabuto layed Genji down gentely onto her bed, holding both of his hands above her. He did a hand sign and as he held his hands over her, he concentraited some of his chakra into his hands. Sasuke stared, un-aware of the jutsu that he was preforming. He had never seen this before. It eluminated as he quickly pushed down on her left leg. She winced in pain but seconds later she felt nothing. Her eyes widened as she sat up, examining it. She still had the horribly ugly bruise, yet she felt no pain. It was gone, all thanks to Kabuto's experiance in the medical industry.

" Why don't you get some rest now? Okay?" He explained as he stood up. he looked at Sasuke soon after.

"...I have some questions, Kabuto." Sasuke said, coldly.

"Very well. I have something to ask you too." He responded as the both walked outside into the hallway, closing the door behind them.

" Tell me why your working for Orochimaru." Sasuke demanded, all kabuto could do was smirk.

" Just because.. I want to...BUT, If you dislike the Lord so much, how come YOUR working for him??" Kabuto asked, pushing up his glasses, once again. ( Stop doing that Kabuto! We're quite done with it!!)

" That reason is none of your concern!" Sasuke exclaimed, crossing his arms.

"..And as for you, Sasuke. We servents have a few ground rules that you shoud be aware of. A neccesity that we all go by..." Kabuto started looking down upon Sasuke. He could tell the 20 year old ninja was being serious. "..I don't know how well your relationship is with Genji but.. We servents don't EVER piss off Lord Orochimaru. He can get very angry, very easy. And Genji is always the one who ends up paying for it. Also, we never EVER address our lord by his first name. Do you understand that? Sasuke-Kun?" Explained Kabuto, his tone deep with rage. Sasuke bit his lower lip, knowing Kabuto had got to him.

"Yes, Kabuto-Sama." Responded the young Uchiha as he turned his back to him and slowly walked away.

"Just keep that in mind." Advised Kabuto, smirking, as he knew he had struck a nerve of Sasuke's.

Morning came awully quickly. The sun's sharpened light shining brightly thoughout the mansion. The light caused the young black-haired woman to wake from her sleep. Slowly she sat up, still wery as she got up out of bed and got ready for the day. It wasen't until she was on her feet for a few minutes that she became suprised. It was as if her leg had never been hurt. She looked at her left leg, noticing that the bruise was healing and fading. It brought a smile to her face. Suddenly, she remembered something else. She had forgoten to thank Kabuto for what he had done for her the other day. I'll thank him later She thought, as she exited the room. ( Please don't ask me how she got hurt. Let's just say Orochimaru is a little aggressive and was angry at the time, okay? Don't be perverted.) Slowly she walked though the hallway, passing corners until she reached Kabuto's room. She had looked at the clock earlier. Her lord wouldn't wake up for at least another thirty minutes. So she had decided to just thank Kabuto now while she knew she had the time. Knocking on the door, she waited patiently for him to answer.

"...Kabuto??" She called, knocking on the door once more. Just as she was about to walk in the door opened and a half-asleep Kabuto stepped out. His silver hair messy and he smelt of.. morning breath.

"Oh, I'm sorry Kabuto! Did I wake you?" She asked, feeling a little guilty. Genji hated to intrude on people like that.

"No, No.It's okay. I have to get up anyway." He responded, closing the door.

" Well, I just wanted to thank you for helping me out yesterday." She hapilly thanked him. A smile drifted across his face.

"..Your welcome." He mumbled, shyly scratching the back of his head.

" By the way. I think Lord Orochimaru has a mission for you. I informed him yesterday that you were resting well and he said he had something of the upmost importance to disscuss with you today. You might want to go see him." He explained.

"..Okay." She said. Bowing politely in thanks and then leaving his presance.

Heading his word, She quickly made her way to Orochimaru's chambers. She was suprised to see that he was already waiting for her.

" You wished to see me, Milord?" Genji asked, bowing her head as he approched her.

"Yes. I have a very important mission for you. Today, I am going to a newly founded village. The village hidden in the ice. I would like for you to accompany Kabuto and I there. However, Your mission will be something much harder." He started. She listened with all the attention she had. " The leader there has two daughters around your age. In order to ensure our success of a village alliance, I wish for you to become friends with them. Do you think you can handle this??" He explained, staring at her with his slitted eyes.

" ...Of course!" She exclaimed with a smile.

" Good. Now come with me." He ordered, walking out the door. She quickly followed.

"Where are we going, Milord?" She curiouly asked. He smirked at her question.

" First. Your going to change into your mission clothes, and then we're going to find Kabuto." He answered as they entered her room for her to change. While Genji dressed, Orochimaru walked about her room. He crossed his arms as he looked down upon the mansion's courtyard. Sasuke and Kimimaro were training. Just as they had every morning. Kabuto bearing witness to their battle.

" So.. Sasuke's been training with Kimimaro, Huh?" Replyed Orochimaru as he watched.

"Yes, Milord. Kimimaro was one of the only people I could think of that would do it." Said Genji, as she slipped on her top.

" Hmm. A fine choice." He complimented.

" Why, Thank you , Milord." Genji happily responded. Once she finished, The two walked downstairs, entering the courtyard where Kabuto stood watching them. Kabuto felt Orochimaru's presance, and turned to see if he was there. As the dark lord approched them, Sasuke and Kimimaro stopped and they bowed. All excpet for Sasuke, who was hesitant at first and only after watching Kabuto and Kimimaro, did he do the same.

"Kabuto. Your needed to accompany Genji and I to the hidden Ice village." Orochimaru explained. With a nod, Kabuto followed the two ninja and Kimimaro and Sasuke resumed with their training.
