(Orochi's pov)

I couldn't believe my eyes, the Thunder Lands was covered in snow! I knew the Thunder Lands never once received snow, so what was before us was impossible. 'Could mother have done this?' mother was brought here, but to cover the entire area in snow? no, mother would have ran and never returned. Something else has done this. "I thought you said we're going to the Thunder Lands. This place is piled up with snow." Kabuto stated bitterly. "Look, I don't know what's happen but this is the Thunder Lands." father said nothing, but just brushed the snow off his shoulders. "Orochi, your not lying are you?" he asked, glaring holes into my soul. "No, of course not father." I muttered, "Good," he looked to the road, "Where to now?" "Right, we go to the nearest village and see what's happened here."

We walked down the snowy trail when something came into sight. It was a village. "To-san, look!" I yelled excited, he merely chuckled and kept walking. I was happy that we were near a village, since walking for five hours straight hurt. As we entered the village I felt a chill go up my spine, it wasn't like the chill I had when I entered Otokagure, I knew something was very wrong. I clutched onto father, hoping he would not let me get killed. He looked down at me and sighed. Picking me up, he placed me on his shoulders. "Orochi stop being so scared." he said with venom dripping from every word. "Yes father." I held into his hair so I wouldn't fall off. He hissed, warning me to let go or else. I gulped and obeyed. The houses and restaurants were so old and broken down, I thought that the Lands had better villages then the Domain, but this was ridiculous. "Look, over there." Kabuto pointed towards a figure embodied in mist. It looked like a ghost. I soon got a good look at the person hiding in the mist, it was mother!!

"Mama!!" I squeaked happily, father looked surprised while Kabuto said nothing. I jumped off of father and ran into the mist. Not a good idea... "Orochi come back!" father yelled after me, something inside should have told me this was wrong but I didn't listen. I missed mother too much. I clung to the figure and looked up, it wasn't mother. It was Yuki Ookami!! I yelped and back away. She pulled out her sword and began to advance. "Father!!" I cried and tried to run back to him, but I couldn't see where I was going! everywhere I looked I saw her golden brown eyes. I stopped and started to clam myself down, I needed to concentrate. I made the hand signs and waited for her move. Next thing I know she jumped in front of me, sword drawn, and was intent to kill.

"Take this! Hyoton, Kokuryuu Boufuusetu!" I threw my fist at her when a black dragon made of snow crashed into her. That was my second best Jutsu. The dragon cleared the area leaving a very wounded Ookami behind. Father and Kabuto looked at me in shock, I laughed "Pretty good, huh?" Kabuto looked dumbfounded while father was pleased. "I see Yukiko did teach you something." he remarked smirking. I blushed, "Uh, no, I taught myself that one." I received another shocked look. But it turned into a smirk soon after. He came over and pat me on the head, I blushed again. He then turned to Yuki, "Is she still alive?" "I doubt it," I began, "That blast was pretty close to her." he began to laugh. "Let's hope she is.." he walked over and examined her, a grin went across his face. "She is indeed alive, but that adds to my fun." he licked his lips.

I didn't understand what he meant by 'that adds to my fun.' he sometimes confused me very much. "Kabuto, get this girl some medical attention. I need her alive." father ordered Kabuto. He nodded and began to heal her. I also didn't get why she needed to be alive. Mother was always in danger while Yuki was prowling around. After some moments Yuki was awake.

"Where..?" she looked around to see that she was surrounded by enemies. She jumped and reached for her sword, that wasn't there, growling she stood her ground. "What do you want?" she asked coldly, father stepped forward, "I need information." Yuki's eyes widened. "Your that stupid Snake Shinobi that was with Yukiko!" she exclaimed. Father knew Yuki but yet he didn't fear her? odd. She then looked at me, "And that is the stupid little Hanyou!" she growled. Father got in front of me, "You will treat my son with respect, understood?" her ears flicked backwards. "What do you want with me?" father smirked, "I need information." she gave a puzzled look. "On what?" Kabuto stepped forward, "Who, to more exact." "You mean..." "Yes," father laughed, "Yukiko, the Demon Hidden in the Ice and Snow."

(Yuki's pov)

I growled a warning at this insane Snake. I never liked this 'thing'. I smirked, his son, AKA abomination, was hiding behind Orochimaru. "Hehehe, you remember me don't you? I scarred that little mind of yours." he made a whimper and hung on tighter. The Snake glared daggers at me. "What did you do?" I chuckled, "I disturbed him beyond reason." I was backhanded. "You ever touch him again, I swear I'll kill you." his irises were even more slit then normal. "Whatever." I spat, blood trickling down the conor of my mouth. "I'm not scared of you or that damn monster!" I yelled. All three of'em gave a retarded look. "Hehe, you don't know what's happened to your 'darling' Yukiko have you?" I grinned. I was backhanded again. He pulled me up by the collar, "No I don't. Why don't you tell me?" he hissed. I smirked and spat blood on his pale face. He frowned and kneed me in the stomach. I cough and blacked out. This will be interesting...

They walked into a inn, sat down and began to talk. Orochi sat next to his father while Kabuto restored Ookami to a conscious state. Goldish eyes opened and wandered around the surroundings. She sat up and winced in pain. The kid did a real good number on her. "What?" she asked, voice raspy. Orochimaru spoke up, "Tell me about Yukiko and what's happened or I will kill you in a most horrible way." he hissed. Yuki smirked while waving her hand. A waitress appeared from the shadows, she ordered Saki on returned her attention to the Snake Sannin. "You wanna know why our country in such a arctic state?" "I could care less." the Sannin remarked bitterly. "Come now, don't be a ass. It's all Yukiko's doing." "My mother did all this?" Orochi pipped up. Yuki's Sake finally arrived. Pouring and taking a big gulp she answered, "Yeah, your dumbass mother did all this." she swished the cup around. "Well actually, not your mother. More like, nah, nevermind." she sipped another cup. Orochimaru's golden eyes flared, "Don't 'nevermind' me. Who's doing this?" Yuki's eyes gleamed in delight. "It's more of a rumor. A rumor of murder."

"Rumors and murder?" Kabuto repeated, "Yes, didn't you hear me?" Yuki barked. He fell silent.

"What are the rumors about?" Orochi asked, "Like I just said kiddo. They're about murder." he gulped and moved to his father's lap.

She drank the rest of the Sake down like it was just water. Slamming the glass down she said, "The rumor says that a demon from the Snow Domain killed Lord Reizu, my brother." "Is the demon my mother?" she grinned a toothy grin, "Nobody made it out alive to see." "Then how did this rumor start then?" the Sannin replied. "It's obvious," she began, "The snow, my brother missing, and the towns people scared shitless." "Where were you when all this began?" "In the human world." she looked at Orochi. "Tracking him and the Scroll down." she slouched into her seat. "So, that still doesn't explain who did this." the Snake said, "Your right. It doesn't." fiddling with some chopsticks, she continued to talk. "I heard that the demon is a female, dark blue eyes, and a long white mane." she described the demon. "Then it isn't Yukiko." Kabuto started to say but Orochimaru interrupted, "Yukiko has a condition in were she does have dark blue eyes and goes on a killing spree." Yuki smirked. "You know of this problem?" "Yes. Yukiko said it's her father possessing her." "Ah yes, the great Takahiro." her mind started to wander.

"He disappeared before the Great Demon War. Leaving his beloved wife and sweet daughter behind to die." "Takahiro? my mother never mentioned him." "Of course, why would she? he betrayed everyone, including her." Orochi now was paying very close attention. "Her mother, Satomi, her name fit her so well, was murdered by my clan. But some how Yukiko remained alive." she laughed, "But before that our clans were close, we were allies."

(Flashback)

It had been four years since Takahiro and Satomi took the throne of the Snow Domain. And then it happened. A child was born, a girl to exact. She looked so much like her mother, blonde hair, green eyes and slightly pale skin. Her father was not pleased that a daughter was brought into the world. In fact, he was disgusted. Satomi and his newborn was a disgrace upon him. Not even wanting to see his daughter Satomi decided to name her. About a hour after her birth it began to snow. Satomi smiled and dubbed her little girl, Yukiko of the Snow. Three years passed before Takahiro even looked at his daughter. When he did he thought it was time to pay a visit to their neighboring country, the Thunder Lands.

Yuki Ookami was also born not to long ago. Same age as young Yukiko. She was named after their clan's goddess, Amaterasu Ookami, a great white wolf who lived on the Plain where the god's and goddess's resided. She had her mother's looks aswell. White hair, black eyes and pale skin. Now three years of age both clans met. Yuki Ookami hiding behind her father, Tsukuyomi while Yukiko hid behind Satomi. Both being of shy nature dared not to venture from the protection of their parents. After the boring talk the girls found courage to say something to each other. Both became friends when the meeting was over. Some two years later would be entirely different. After they meet those two years ago the war broke out. Many kitsune demons and wolf demon perished. Takahiro vanishing, Satomi dead and Yukiko left alone to die, Yuki's mother committed suicide and her father dieing along his army, everything seemed to shatter before the children's eyes.

(End flashback)

"Nobody really knew why the war began. It just did..." Yuki muttered. Setting her eyes upon Orochi she said, "But as for the demon holding my home captive, Orochi it is your mother. No doubt about it." he just looked down and turned to lean on his father's chest. "Well your looks are sure different." Kabuto said, "You Shinobi aren't the only ones who can use Jutsu." she clapped her hands together and with a poof her original form appeared. Long white hair with black tips, eyes as dark as the night sky with red markings around the eye; much like Orochimaru's purple marks, and skin as pale as paper. "Now for the big surprise." she closed her eyes. When she reopened them what a shock the group received. Yuki Ookami's once pitch black eyes now shone with a light crimson color. It was the Sharingan!
