(Yukiko's pov)

"Wha-what?" he asked Sarutobi nervously, "I'm truly sorry we did everything we could, but they didnt make it." the boy looked down trying not to show any emotion. He just shook his head and ran off, "Hey wait!" you called and ran after him. He got ahead of you easily for this village was bigger than any village you had ever been to, plus he had an advantage; he lived here.You lost him and decided to give up. "Yukiko-chan!" "Huh?" It was Sarutobi and he was almost out of breath, "You can't run away like that!! We don't know what's going to happen to you!" you looked around for him once more before answering, "Alright."

(Orochimaru's pov)

I asked the Hokage if he had seen my parents anywhere but the answer he had was not one I wished to hear, "I'm sorry but your parents died in combat." your eyes widened ."Bu-but they were on a simple mission! to retrieve a important person!" he shook his head, "I'm truly sorry we did everything we could do, but they didn't make it." I felt as if I was going puke. My parents, the only ones who understood me, was gone! my emotions were going to explode. I had to run somewhere. I took off towards my house, "Hey wait!" that girl called after me and chased me. I just ran faster and wished this wasn't real. But it was war after all and people died, I understood that, but why them?! why did it have to be them?! I out ran the girl and hid in a ally and watched her to try to find me. She looked everywhere but no luck. Soon the Hokage caught up. "Yuikio-chan!" Yuiko...Snow Child, so she's not from around here. I felt tears fell from my eyes as she left, "Why...?"

Sarutobi led you from the noisy streets to a large building, "Yours?" I asked he nodded. "Yeah It's pretty big so I thought you could stay with me until we find you some foster parents." he smiled while you frowned. He kneeled down to your level, "Look, I know nobody will ever replace them in your heart, but you have to accept someone." he smiled. You started to cry again, "Konzou said the same thing..." "Well, you don't want to let his words be in vain,do you?" you shook your head. "That's it. Come, we'll prepare you a room". He lead you inside the mansion type house, you pasted a office full of scrolls, shinobi weaponary, etc. After going through every hall in the house you finally came to a small room. Nothing fancy but a normal type room, white wall paper, blue rug and a blue and white bed. The window in the was huge you could see at least half the village, "Well, I hope you like it here in Konoha." you nodded. 'I hope I do to.'

(in the morning)

It was around seven a clock and it was raining, how you wished for snow. You didn't mind the rain but snow..had a feeling you could never get rid of, you were getting lost in your thoughts about his parents. "I'm sorry..." you whispered to the air, you looked down and saw that boy again! agh how could you forget his name. It was easy to forget someones name but their none could forget their eyes, his eyes, his parents eyes they seemed to haunt you. You walked to the door and looked both ways "Good there's nobody here." you whispered closing the door, you opened the window and looked for the boy 'Well crude where'd he go?' you sighed and jumped down in the mud. You growled and ran off in his direction, you pasted a lot of buildings and graveyards on the way 'I hope I'm not intruding on what I think he's doing.' you thought sadly, your ears flicked to a tiny sound like someone crying. You stopped a graveyard again, you walked to the entrance and hid behind a pillar to see that he was standing there over a grave. 'Oh no, I knew that this was it...' he turned his head, you gasped and tried to hid behind the pillar "I know your there.." you sighed and came out "I'm sorry about what happened." he sighed "I guess it really doesn't matter their not going to come back." your eyes darkened "Hey" you ran up besides him "What?" he looked at you rain was running down his face "You'll see them again one day" "Really?!" "Well yeah...but probably not for a long time though.." he looked down "I know what you mean now..." "I'm sorry that was stupid of me to say." "No it's okay your just trying to help..". The rain had stopped falling while the clouds remained dark, you sat down "Hey come on sit" you smiled he just frowned and sat besides you and stared blankly at the gravestone "If it makes you feel any better I lost my parents in the war too." his head shot up his gold eyes wide "I'm sorry..." he muttered "It's okay my name is-" "Yukiko of the snow." you blinked while your fox ears twitched "How'd ya know?" he looked at your ears that continued to twitch "What are those?" you rubbed them "These? these are my ears...I'm a fox demon." he just looked at you then your ears "A fox huh?" he sat and grabbed your ears "Their really soft." you growled, you never people to touch your ears. He heard you growl and let go "Kay, now that is over. I forgot your name." "Orochimaru." "Eight-headed snake...I had a friend like you back in my world." he glanced at you with a small blush on his face "Really?" "Yeah, he was nice." he smiled at me "Yay your smiling again!" you cheered, he just stared at you now "Um okay..." he looked at the sky "Um Yukiko-chan.." "Hm?" "I'm guessing since you don't have anybody and neither do I...um..." he was blushing and muttering a lot "What?" he took a breath "Do you want to live with me?" your eyes widened 'Should I?' he held his head down "Um...Sure!" you chirped. His head shot up he actually had a real smile this time "Really Yukiko-chan?!" he was all excited now "Of course!" "Thank-you Yukiko-chan.." "Just call me Nee-chan" he smirked "Ok then Nee-chan".

(Orochimaru's pov)

Rain poured down this morning, you woke up in an empty house no sound, no talking. Only dead silence you sighed, This was going to be harder to get use to than you thought. You walked past your parents room and stopped, nobody was in there nobody ever will be again. Your eyes narrowed as you punched the wall making a small hole in it, "WHY THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN!?" you yelled 'They were powerful shinobi how could they die?'. You knew that this was real but..you took out a kunai knife and placed at your wrist and you slit it, you winced and grabbed it. You took a look around and everything was the same, you dropped with kunai and fixed your wrist. "Damn it." you cursed. You walked outside and ran to the graveyard, on the way you pasted the Hokage's house you could've swore that you saw Yukiko but you shook it off and continued running. You finally got to the cemetery and looked for your parents grave, you saw it and just stood there. You sensed somebody behind you "I know your there" you turned your head to see Yukiko,"I know your there.." she sighed and came out "I'm sorry about what happened" I sighed "I guess it really doesn't matter their not going to come back" her eyes darkened "Hey." she ran up besides you "What?" I looked at her curiously rain was running down my face "You'll see them again one day" "Really?!" "Well yeah...but probably not for a long time though.." I looked down "I know what you mean now..." "I'm sorry that was stupid of me to say." "No it's okay your just trying to help..". The rain had stopped falling while the clouds remained dark, she sat down "Hey, come on, sit." she smiled I just frowned and sat beside her and stared blankly at the gravestone "If it makes you feel any better I lost my parents in the war too." my head shot up my golden eyes wide "I'm sorry..." I muttered "It's okay my name is-" "Yukiko of the snow." she blinked while her fox ears twitched "How'd ya know?" I looked at her ears that continued to twitch "What are those?" she rubbed them "These? these are my ears...I'm a fox demon" I just looked at her then her ears "A fox huh?" I sat up and grabbed her ears "Their really soft." ' They feel nice.' she growled, I heard her growl and let go "K now that is over, I forgot your name" "Orochimaru." "Eight-headed snake...I had a friend like you back in my world." I glanced at her "Really?" "Yeah he was nice." I smiled at her "Yay your smiling again!" she cheered, I just stared at her now "Um okay..." I looked at the sky "Um Yukiko-chan.." "Hm?" "I'm guessing since you don't have anybody and neither do I...um..." I was blushing and muttering a lot "What?" I took a breath "Do you want to live with me?" her eyes widened 'Agh why did I ask that? she probably hates me' I held my head down "Um...Sure!" she chirped. My head shot up I actually had a real smile this time "Really Yukiko-chan?!" I was all excited now "Of crouse!" "Thank-you Yukiko-chan.." "Just call me Nee-chan" I smirked "Ok then Nee-chan". She grabbed my hand "Come on let's go tell the Hokage!" she held out her hand to me "Um, okay Nee-chan." I took her hand and walked out of the cemetery. I looked back at them 'Maybe I'll be okay after all guys...'
