In response to Dark Fox 14's challenge, here is an Orochimaru Kagome fic!

Summary: Everything has a focal point. Kagome was the focal point behind his insanity.

Pairing: Orochimaru x Kagome Higurashi

All for Love

Orochimaru sighed as he went over the test results again. There was still something missing, something that he had over looked. He glanced at the picture on his desk again and softly smiled and the blue eyes staring back at him. If only she knew what her pain had put him through.

Jiraiya smiled smugly at his pale skinned teammate. "Bet you couldn't do that if you tried."

Orochimaru stared blankly at his friend. He performed the jutsu flawlessly and turned away. "I'm going to find Kagome and Tsunade."

Walking down the street, the thirteen-year-old scanned the area for the only two girls in his life. He saw them coming out of a local clothing store, laughing and carrying a few bags. He walked over to them and smiled. "Hello, Kagome, Tsunade, did you have a nice shopping trip."

Kagome grinned and hugged him. "Orochimaru! I haven't seen you in a while, how was your training session with Jiraiya?"

"Fine thank you." He replied, his cheeks tinted pink. "Are you busy later? I was hoping we could do something."

Kagome nodded. "I'd like that." She looked at the sun and sighed. "I have to go, but met me here at seven?"

He nodded and watched her leave.

Tsunade snickered. "So you've finally asked her out. Wait till Jiraiya hears about this!"

Orochimaru sighed. He knew that he'd be teased relentlessly about this.

The field was splattered with blood, the sun rising, creating a crimson streak across the sky.

In his arms she was slowly dying.

"Please Kagome, don't go." He cried.

She smiled at him. "If it is my fate to die here, then I will."

Tears slipped down his cheeks and onto her blood soaked armor. "But we're getting married soon, we're going to live a long happy life with eachother."

Kagome coughed, more blood dribbling down her lip. "I love you Orochimaru, don't ever forget that."

Her eyes closed and she fell limp in his arms.

Orochimaru cried harder. "I swear to you Kagome, if it take me forever, I will find a way to bring you back."

Walking into the lab, he ran his hands over the glass cryogenic chamber that held his beloved. "This body is becoming weak Kagome, but I'll have a new one soon. I'll look just as I did wen you were taken from me. Every day I'm coming closer to brining you back to me, and then we can be happy once again."

"Orochimaru-sama?"

He turned and looked to Kabuto as he entered the room. "Yes Kabuto?"

A smile crossed Kabuto's face. "We've had a breakthrough sir, just a few more months and we can bring her back."

Orochimaru nodded. "Thank you Kabuto, you are dismissed."

Kabuto left and Orochimaru turned to Kagome's frozen body smiling as bright as he had all those years ago. "You hear that love? Just a few more months and you'll be in my arms again."

Ugh, I hate Orochimaru, so it was hard for me to make him sound nice. In case you didn't get it from the fic, the reason behind his insanity was loosing Kagome and his trying to get her back. Man, I hated this oneshot.

Much love always
