Two young girls stood in the large feild behind their mansion. Their training ground.
" Get up, Hikari!" Ordered the older girl to the girl sqauting on the ground. Slowly the younger one stood, feeling to exhausted to hold herself up.
" Ari.. please.. I'm tired.. Can I.. Stop now??" She breathed, looking at the ground as she breathed heavily, regaing her breath gradually.
" No, not until you try a little harder. You should be stronger, Hikari! The student should surpass the master!" Ari shouted, staring coldly at her weak and petrifyed younger sister. Hikari's ghostly pale eyes peered upon her sister's angry face, crystal tears beggining to form in her eyes. Ari sighed deeply as she looked away in dissapiontment.
" Fine!" Ari yeled, giving in as she rested her hands upon her hips.
" But tommarow you-" She was interupted as one of the mansion's many servents spoke up.
" Miss. Ari, Miss. Hikari. Your father wishes to see you in the main room." He said, bowing his head in respect as he left.
" I wonder what he wants this time." Ari said in wonder as she began to walk into her home. She soon stopped and turned around.
"Let's go, Hikari!" She barked. A weary Hikari ran to catch up with her as they walked inside.
The two girls quickly made it into the main room where there father waited.
"Ari, Hikari. Good, you have arrived." He said, wrapping an arm around each girl.
"Listen. I need you two to be on good behavior. We have some people coming here from another village to form an alliance with us." He explained." We need their strength for when the time comes. If you two mess this up... You will get it, You both will be disowned." He threatened, the two girls nodded in agreement. They sat down and soon after two man and a woman walk in. They sat down across from them. The dark lord sat down, the silver-haired ninja sat next to him on the left, and the black-haired girl sat next to him on the right. As Ari and Hikari looked into the dark man's eyes, they became filled with fear.(Umm... For the note, Orochimaru is in a disquise. This is important to remember for later.) The ice leader beconed forth a servent from the side. He whispered something to him in his ear as he sat down. The man pulled out a peaice of partchment from his pocket, and handed it to the disquised Orochimaru. He signed it without hesitation, and it was slipped back into the sevent's pocket, who took his place back at the side.
" It is offical.. Sound and Ice are as of today, allies." Replyed the Ice leader.
" Of course..." Responded Orochimaru.
" By the way.. This are my two daughters, Ari and Hikari. Why don't you three stay here for a while? It must be a tiring trip." He offered. Orochimaru looked at his two servents for a moment and back at the leader. He nodded in agreement and everyone stood up.
"Ari, Hikari. Show them to their rooms!" Ordered their father at the two young girl's. The quietly walked out the door, the three sound-nins following them. One by one they showed the guests their rooms. Once Orochimaru's room came up, he retreated right for it. Kabuto did the same. They both were aware of Genji's mission and they weren't going to ruin the chances for it.
"..And this will be your room." Said Ari, opening the door of the last room in the hallway. Hikari, hiding behind her older sister, shyly.
"Thank you. By the way, I don't belive we have been properly introduced. My name is Genji Matsunaga!" Genji exclaimed, holding out her hand to Ari.
Both of the girls stared at her hand. A smile quickly spread across Ari's face.
" Ari Shinimasu." She responded as she shook Genji's hand.
" This is my younger sister, Hikari." She added, stepping out of the way, allowing them to meet. She knew that her sister was to shy and nervous to do it herself.
" Nice to meet you, Hikari." Genji said smiling, Hikari simply waved shyly.
" So.. I guess sound and ice will make a good alliance? Intresting" Ari replyed, looking to the side.
"...Umm, so you like to train, huh? You look really strong." Asked Genji.
" Oh, Yes! I love fighting! In fact, I've just recently become an A.N.B.U. a few days ago. I'm so exited! I can't wait to go on my first mission!!" Ari happily shouted. Watching her cheers caused Hikari to smile, the first time Genji had seen this.
" An A.N.B.U.?? Wow! Congratulations! My cousinis also an A.N.B.U., I bet it's really cool!" Genji replyed, also smiling.
"..Really? In Otogakure??" Ari asked curiosly. Genji shook her head, still smiling.
" No. Her name is Saki Okutama. She's on the Konohagakure's black-ops unit. She's currently looking for this guy but with no luck." Genji explained.
" Hey!.. I-I think I know.. her..I went to. to leaf a fe-few years ago a-and I met her." Explained Hikari. Both Ari and Hikari stared at her strangly.
" What?! When did you go to Konoha?" Ari asked.
" When I was with mom four years ago. For the chunin exams." Hikari answered, looking to the side to not see her sister's gaze upon her.
" Hey Genji, How about one day when there's time we fight eachother?" Ari asked.
" Sure!" She exclaimed.
" Awsome, We're going to go now. Hikari has somethings to do, see ya!" Yelled Ari as she and Hikari began to walk away.
As they dissapered from sight, Genji sighed with relief. She was so nervous, she was afraid they wouldn't like her, expecailly the older one, Ari. But now it was over with and her mission was a success. Orochimaru would be pleased once he found out. Genji never was one to dissapoint her lord and she was way to determined to let her shyness get the best of her. She entered her room, quietly closing the door behind her.
" So.. How did it go?" Asked a droning voice. Genji turned around. Only to see her disquised lord standing before her.
" Perfectly, Milord! I didn't have any troubles!" She responded, happily smiling. A smirk formed on Orochimaru's lips.
" Good work. I bet even Kabuto couldn't have done better." He said, laughing.( Don't ask why he laughed. The answer is he felt like it.)
