Ai exhaled loudly and paused before she attempted to knock on the door of her masters' room. It swung open before her knuckles could connect with the door and she slowly entered. She closed the door behind her, and was addressed before she could even speak. "You must have lots of questions for me." The smooth silky texture of Orochimaru's voice danced in Ai's ears. She was grateful to hear it. "Y-yes.." she stammered, it was a bizar moment, he had almost read her mind. "I can't answer them." He continued flatly, and watched as Ai's delicate features formed a frown. "Well why not?" she blurted out, immediately covering her mouth with her hand. Orochimaru smirked and licked his lips at her outburst. She blinked and he was towering over her. "I'm so glad you closed the door..." Ai gasped and felt her back hit the door she had closed on her way in. A mixture of lust and fear pooled in her eyes as they connected with her masters'. His hand was lent against the door behind her as he bent down to her. His ebony hair fell over her shoulders and she trembled at his sickly sweet aroma. His golden eyes shimmered as he let his other hand play with the green tousles of Ai's hair. "You know better than to talk to me like that..." he hissed and drew even closer. Ai gulped, she didn't know whether she was in paradise or serious danger. "Especially when you fear is so terribly attractive." Ai decided she was definitely afraid, but it felt more like an exhilarating rush. She placed a hand on the firm chest of the snake sannin, logically to try and push him away, but instead he just used it to push his body closer to hers. "So.." he began in a sickly sweet tone. "What did you want to ask me?" he whispered over her lips. Ai felt she was going to faint, she was desperately hoping that some how, instead of obviously playing games with her, he would just kiss her. As expected however he laughed light heartedly and backed off towards his work station. Ai took a moment to regain full conciousness before making her way over to him. "Well, why do you keep doing things like that?" she said, she had decided Orochimaru didn't scare her anymore. The sannin started working on somthing and answered casually. "Because it's fun." he smiled as he continued to work, then added "and because I like you." Ai's cheeks turned an unflattering scarlet colour. "We-well...I.." she began but Orochimaru cut her off. "I'm busy at the moment, I'll summon you when I need you." With that he turned his full attention back to his work leaving Ai to exit the room of her own accord. She did so and shut the door, taking one last glance back at her master. Even from behind she could tell he was up to no good.
