(?? pov)

I walked down the icy halls of the castle, hoping to find ka-san on the way, since she said something about a new technique. I brushed my thick, long and dark hair out of my eyes. I liked my hair long though it was a pain. I was in a dark blue yukata with white boots, wearing sandals here wasn't a very good idea. I turned around the conor to see Hoshi, my ka-san's fox. Hoshi was a playful little guy who always watched over me. I smiled a walked over to him, "Hello Hoshi, have you seen ka-san anywhere?" "No I haven't, sorry." he responded. I sighed, "It's okay, I'll find her on my own." he nodded and trotted away. I thought about where I could find ka-san, but I had no luck... wait! it was the meeting today! she should be in the Grand Hall. I ran off and decided to spy on the Fox Elders, I am going to rule this land someday so, I have to know what's going on.

(Yukiko's pov)

I sat at the head of the marble table, and the other Fox Rulers going in order were: Shindo of the Earth Captial, Mushi of the Air Walkers, Yukiko of the Snow Domain, and Zana of the Fire Breathers; who was missing, the time he has been gone no one knows. Today we were on a discussing war matters, Reizu was a big problem. He had been attacking every Fox Demon he could get his hands on. When I arrived five years ago, it brought some hope back but not enough to win alone. Shindo was suggesting that we have a front attack on the Thunder Lands but Mushi insisted that we wait and then attack. It was a big mess. I caught out of the conor of my eye, my five year old son, Orochi. He was spying on us again, which was funny at times, but today it was serious. "Orochi," he jumped at the sound of my voice, "Be a good boy for me and leave us grown-ups to our business." the Elders looked in his direction. Of course, him being a shy little guy, froze. I sighed and got up and went to get him, "Orochi," I knelt down to his level, "I told you before, don't spy on us when we're talking on war plans okay?" with shame he looked to the ground. "Yes mommy..." I grinned, "Good boy, now go and play." he nodded and left the room. "Lady Yukiko," I turned my attention to Shindo, "You need to teach that boy some manners. He cannot keep doing this, it could be a tragic end to us if he got captured and would tell the enemy everything!" "Shindo, he is my son and I'll raise him how I wish to raise him. Now, let's get on with this."

(Orochi's pov)

I sat on my bed just scanning my room. It was made out of ice like the rest of the castle, cept that the ice was ten times thicker than any normal ice. I had two bookshelves full of scrolls and books on reptiles, I had never seen a reptile before, though I wish I had. Hoshi came barking in and jumped onto my bed, "What Hoshi?" he just licked my face and went down to sleep. I was confused, he always did this weird stuff. I got up and reached for a scroll when ka-san barged into my room, "Ka-san!?" I ran over to her, she was covered in wounds and blood. I hugged her, not caring that I got blood all over me, "Ka-san what happened to you?!" she looked down, "Orochi, I need you to go to my room and find a scroll." I was puzzled, "What kind of scroll?" "It's a forbidden scroll, take it and run away as fast as you can." I began crying. "Mommy I don't want to leave you here! who's doing this?!" "Reizu." it was the bad man ka-san told me about, I hated him. "But why a scroll?" "Hoshi will tell you on the way, just get it." I nodded. Hoshi was behind me in his larger form, he was about as tall as ka-san. "W-want are you going to do?" she just walked towards the door, "Orochi, it's time that you met your to-san." I gasped, father?! ka-san never told me much about him, except what he looked like. "Mo-" she covered my mouth, "Orochi, your to-san is the only that can help me. Now go!" I started crying again. I didn't want to leave her. "Come on, where's my little tough guy?" she hugged me. "I-I don't wanna be the tough guy..." she kissed my forehead, "Of course you do, don't you want to protect me?" I nodded. "Please, please, find him." she hugged me probably for the last time. "Okay..." she helped on Hoshi, "His name is Orochimaru, I don't know his were abouts but, just try okay?" I nodded. So that's my to-san's name, Orochimaru.

I kicked Hoshi in the sides and dashed off towards ka-san's room. I pushed the door open and looked for a scroll. Ka-san said it was large scroll with white flames on it. I opened her closet and looked around, I pulled on a large scroll when a pile of stuff came down on me. "Ah!" Hoshi came around, "Smart young Master." I glared at him, "Don't give me any ideas about making you into a fur coat." I spat. His brown eyes widened, "F-forgive me!" I giggled, "It's okay," I saw a little book with a photograph sticking out of it. "Hoshi, what is this?" I asked opening it. Inside there was a fading picture of two kids maybe alittle older than me, holding hands. One had pitch black hair, really pale; with a huge blush on his face, and he had gold eyes. The other looked like my ka-san. "Ah, that's Lady Yukiko when she was a child and the young man next to her is your to-san, Orochimaru." I blinked, it was him again. "Hoshi have you ever met my to-san?" "Yes I have. Not a very pleasant man but a good one deep down. Even though he enjoyed kicking me." he mumbled the last part. I laughed, to-san sounded funny and yet interesting at the same time. I got up and put the photo in my yukata and continued looking for the scroll. I finally found it after going through a mountain of clothes, ka-san always liked to dress up. "Hoshi got it!" "Good work runt." a dark voice responded. I turned to see a tall man with red eyes, "W-who are you?" I backed up alittle. He smirked showing off his fangs, "Why I'm the great Reizu! and I need that scroll kiddo." he advanced towards me. I didn't know what to do but, I didn't want to let go of the scroll. So I bit him. "Why you little half-breed!" he slung me into a wall. He growled at the mark I gave him, "W-what is that? venom?!" I gasped, did I have venom in my fangs? I smirked and ran to look for Hoshi. A Wolf Demon was out in the hall with a growling Hoshi in his arms, "Hold still mutt!" he commanded but Hoshi only listened to me or ka-san. "Hoshi! Ice Fang!" his eyes snapped open and his fangs glowed a light blue, he bit into the wolf's neck, making blood gush everywhere, his whole body turned to ice. "Uh young Master, can I some help?" Hoshi was stuck in the ice as well. I nodded and pulled on his leg, "OW!!" he howled. After some time he eventually popped out, "Ah, thank you young Master." he bowed. "Your welcome, come on we need to get going." I dashed out in front of him.

(Hoshi's pov)

We ran out of the ice castle and I stopped to see what chaos had been unleashed. Fox Demon were lying dead in the snow, while others were fighting for their lives against the Wolf Demons. "Hoshi," I heard Orochi speak, "Will ka-san be okay?" he looked as if tears were going to spill any moment. "Of course young Master, your mother is a very powerful demon." he nodded in understanding. His black fox ears twitched towards all the screaming and howling, they went down after it went quite. He turned and raced off, I quickly followed. We came to Ice Dragon Lake, it's named that for it's dragon like shape, Orochi set down the scroll. This was the scroll, the Scroll of Beginnings, that Lady Yukiko used to escape into the mortal world. "How am I supposed to use this?" I sighed, of course he didn't know how to use it. "Young Master, I will do what I can. Just transform into your fox form." his eyes grew wide. "I-I can't..." I was puzzled but some remembered that he was a half-breed. "Hai, sorry I had forgotten." "It's okay." he sat down in the snow, I rolled the down the scroll with my nose until I found the spell. "Ah ha!" Orochi looked at me, "Here it is! now let's get on with it. Young Master, go near the lake." he nodded and did what he was told. "I'm going to began chanting, so don't be afraid." he nodded. "Time that separates us all, let the demon world and mortal world be as one!" the water glowed and showed Konohagakure. "Is that where to-san is?" I couldn't tell him that his father was a S-rank criminal. "No, he should be somewhere else." he looked confused but didn't say anything. Now how to find this man I did not know, maybe say his name? "Young Master, say your to-san's name." "O-okay," he looked into the water. "Orochimaru!" the water changed colors and finally regained picture, it was a rice looking country. "Is this it?" I was sure but, "Yes, now go!" he jumped into the water and it would be awhile til I could see him again. "Hey mutt!" I turned to see Reizu, "My, what a surprise. Reizu of the Thunder Lands." he growled "Where's the half-breed?!" "In the mortal world looking for Orochimaru." I smirked. "That Snake Bastard again!?" he was furious. "Give me the Elder's Scroll." I growled and bared my teeth at him, "Never!"

I noticed that the portal was just now begining to close. "You want it? go get it!" I kicked the scroll into the water making all the demons howl in defeat. Young Master, I may never see you again but, please be safe.
