I looked on as Kiba took off after Yuki. I smiled knowing how happy she was with him and how calm she seemed to become. I couldn't help wondering what was going through her mind. It really worried me. We had a mission we had to accomplish, and if she was warming up with someone from the village, when it came time to carry out the mission, would she be able to do it without a moment's hesitation? She didn't want to say she doubted her, but she knew how strong emotions could affect the outcome of an event and she didn't want her to have attachments.

I brought out of my thought by a tap on the shoulder and confused voice, "Kebi are you ok?"

I looked over to see Sasuke standing there waiting. I was confused as to why he was still here. I thought he would have left by now, but there he was standing in his glory. My heart started to pound. He actually was waiting for me. I nodded smiling at him. "I'm fine. Let's go back to the leaf village".

He nodded. We then took off into the leaf village.

Nikki's Thoughts on things that happened:

I looked on as my sister, Kebi, hurried us along. We had gone to the market to pick up some food for dinner that night and we kept getting side tracked by others offering us help and with it being crowded, the time flew by and the sun had gone down. My ears twitched listening to every sound and noise that was made. My tail swayed as we walked along towards our home. As the sun went down the lanterns began to turn on and my sister tensed. "Stay close" she said in my ear.

I looked up and nodded. "Okay sister."

We made our way through town, my sister not slowing down at all. The house comes into view and we're almost there… I feel the air suddenly chill and my sister and I stop. What is this feeling? It wasn't long before a man with long dark hair, pale white skin, and snake like eyes to appear. He wore basic clothing and he looked like he didn't belong. My tail began to twitch and my ears drew back. I didn't like him one bit.

He asked us why we were out and my sister seemed really calm on the outside, but I knew she was terrified on the inside. I looked on as they talked, listening for any signs that he was not alone, but I couldn't hear or sense anything. He told us his name was Orochimaru and he kept asking us why we were out so late. Kebi always gave him an answer and she lied about our parents still being alive. She sounded believable to me, but I couldn't tell if he believed her.

"Well then…" he began to say, as he looked up at us. His eyes were intense and that's when the terror hit me. I saw my very short life pass before my eyes and the thought of dying hit my like a ton of bricks. My legs weak from terror, I collapsed to the ground, my eyes unable to blink. I looked over at my sister to see her standing, staring at the Orochimaru. I heard footsteps and could help but wanting to run but I was paralyzed. Time seem to stand still for me. All I wanted was my parents. I wished they were alive; they wouldn't let them hurt me or Kebi. I wanted to cry.

I felt myself being picked up and I blacked out.

I awoke to the sound of a door opening. I didn't know what was going on and all I could feel was a rough, scratch bed. I tried opening my eyes, but I was blind folded. I tried to move, but I was tied up. I listened as footsteps moved towards me and I backed away as they seem to get closer. I backed into a wall and heard the footsteps stop at the foot of the bed. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The voice promised. I didn't recognize the voice, but it sounded familiar. "Do you want to go back to your sister? I'll take you to her." The voice told her.

She sat up right away at the thought of seeing my sister again. I nodded. "Yes. I would do anything to see her." I said without a moment's thought.

I could feel the room begin the chill and something didn't feel right. "Is that so? Well then…" The voice said and that's when it hit me. I backed up against the wall trying to get away from this man, the man that took her away from Kebi… This is bad!

I felt the bed sink down from the weight of something on top of it. I pushed myself back into the wall as far as I could, hoping that the wall would swallow her up and take her away from this evil horrid person. I felt his hands touch my knees and moved to my shoulders. I tried shaking his hand off, but then he grabbed me and I one swift motion laid me down on the bed, tied my wrist and moved on top of me. I was about to scream, when I felt some sort of cloth getting shoved into my mouth. He shushed into my ears and they twitched with terror. What was he going to do to me?

(Author's note: I'm sorry, but I can't write this. Rape scenes aren't for me. XP But I will write the aftermath.)

I awoke in the bed, still tied down and covered with a scratchy blanket. I was naked from the waist down and couldn't control the tears that started to run down my already tear stained face. I laid there thinking about last night and the horrible things that were done. I felt dirty and discussing. I just wanted to crawl in the corner and die.

The door opened and I wiggled to try and get away thinking that he was coming back for more, but a boy with glasses was who entered the room. He had grayish hair and looked young. He approached the bed and just looked at me. I wiggled from his intense stare and couldn't help but wonder why he was here. As he bent down, I thought he was going to do what Orochimaru did. I squirmed and struggled to get away. He went up to my wrist and untied me. When both wrists were untied, I rubbed. I looked at him in wonder. Was he going to let me go?

"Follow me." He told me.

He turned and headed for the door, he turned and motion for her to follow. I slowly got to my feet, got dress, and made my way over to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and led me down the hall. I watched as many doors went by, but not an ounce of sunlight could be seen. I looked up at this mysterious person, "Where are we going? Are you taking me to my sister?" I asked him.

He didn't answer; he didn't even look at me. He just kept walking. Soon, we were at a door. He slowly opened the door and inside there were two people. One had dark, duck-like hair; I didn't recognize him. I looked at the other man and looked in terror to see it was Orochimaru. I was about to turn around and run when the arm around my shoulder prevented me from taking off. He shoved me forward and I ran into the wall, I fell to the floor. "Welcome my Neko. Are you ready to help with my research?" Orochimaru asked a sly smile spread across his face. I looked in horror as they all started to move forward on me. I needed help… I wanted my sister. Mom, Dad, Kebi, ANYONE, Please… HELP ME!

Just as they were about to grab for me, the door busted open. All four of us looked to see a girl walking in. She had dark hair pulled into two ponytails. She wore dark clothes with blood red clouds. She wore a smile on her face, like she could do anything. Her expression changed into a glare as if she just realized who was in the room. "And what do we owe this pleaser to?" Orochimaru hissed at the new girl.

The new girl glared at the snake man. "I came to retrieve Nikki in order of Pein. So her sister will shut up." She said walking closer.

I looked at her with hope in my eyes. MY SISTER WAS OK! "MY SISTER! WERE IS SHE?" I yelled. I felt something hard hit me in the back of my head and my world went black.

"NIKKI! Are you okay! Please wake up!"

I awoke to find my sister panic written all over her face. I looked at her and realized her eyes seem to be a different color then their natural green, but didn't think much of it. "I'm awake." I said, smiling up at her. She smiled back and gave me a hug. I hugged her back, happy to be safe in her arms.

"I missed you." I whispered, tears rolling down my face. "I thought I was going to die." I told her about what happened with Orochimaru.

Kebi squeezed me tighter, like she never wanted to let me go. "I'm sorry. I promise I will never let that happen again. If I ever see that man…" she vowed, "… I will kill him."

I came to find out that the person that saved me was a girl named Yuki. She was a descendent of the Uchiha clan and possessed the Sharingon. We ended up training together for a couple years before we were given our first mission: To Watch over the 9 Tailed Fox Vessel.

Author's Note: I apologize to all of those people who had to wait for my slowness. :/ Sorry. I hope you enjoy. Sorry for the crappy chapter Mandy. Hope you can continue off, where I left off.
