The next morning Genji woke up early. Orochimaru was asleep next to her. The day before Kidomaru and Kabuto moved the dark lord back into his room. That way he could be in his chambers. She quickly got up out of bed being careful not to wake her lord. She knew if she wanted to help Orochimaru with his curse. She would have to learn from the best. She hated asking for help from the other servants. But this was for Orochimaru. And there was only one person in the whole mansion that knew anything about medical jutsu. In his younger days, the medical units head chief in Konoha had adopted Kabuto. Because of this he knew almost anything. A skilled medical-nin he was. Getting him to help her would be a challenging task in deed. But she would have to ask. She went into the elites hallway. Kabuto had just exited his room. She shouted his name and he stopped.

" Kabuto. I have a favor to ask of you." She started. He raised his eyebrows waiting for what she would ask. " I need some of your medicine." She said. He looked at her suspiciously. With a smirk he laughed.

" And what for? You're hoping to heal Lord Orochimaru's arms? Medicine cannot accomplish what you seek. All it will do is ease his pain a smudge. It will do no good to fight something you can never win against. It's a waste. And even if there was a medicine that could heal our lord.. I would never allow you to put your hands upon it." Kabuto explained in anger as he walked away. It seemed as though Kabuto was growing even more enmity for Orochimaru as each day passed.

But nonetheless. She had failed in which she was ordered to do. With no other choice she went back to her lord's chambers. He was awake. She approached him penitently. She stood before him beginning to weep.

" I'm sorry Milord.. I have failed you.." She cried. He stared at her in confusion. He was still a bit weary.

" What are you talking about??" He asked.

" Kabuto refuses to help me in any way for your health. I am not-" She was interrupted.

" No.. It was not you who failed me. It is Kabuto. You have done no wrong.." He replied pulling her down onto the bed to look him strait in the eye. Her soft green eyes sweetly looked into his. Un expectantly he drew back. A look he usually got from others but this time it was him. Her look seemed to tame his heinous eyes. A chill flowing throughout his body in one quick swoop. It was over before he even knew it. Leaving him confused and nervous. He tried not to let it bother him.

" You know something? I wasn't going to say anything to you but.. Yesterday when I got back I read one of your letters. It would appear that Ari has invited you to her mansion in the ice village. It read in the letter that in two days she would be leaving on her first mission to retrieve one of three nuki-nin." he explained.

" You've done so much for me so I believe I will return the favor. I will allow you to go. It can be you off time." He said. Her eyes widened.

" But Milord! Who will-" He placed his cold rough hand over her mouth. It pained him to move but he had to shut her up somehow.

" No! I will not hear of it! Your going and that's an order!" He shouted. Her emotionless expression changed into a smile. She was quickly filled with joy.

" Oh thank you, Milord! I appreciate this greatly!" She yelled throwing her arms around him, causing his face to flush. He felt deep chagrin. This was the first time he had ever.. Been embraced. It felt nice.
