Among the midst of the group of hopefuls who wants to be Orochimaru's elite guards, someone stood out.
Maybe it was because she was the only girl there, or because she did not seem to belong in black yukata she was wearing, which had a long silt at the side and revealed a little too much cleavage..
Anko crossed her arms in front of herself, trying to coverup her chest a little. Sure, while this is all done in the name of disguise, it does not mean that she had to be comfortable with it. She had choose a yukata with a large cleavage and a long silt the exposed too much skin, as far as she was concerned, and even let down her hair. All this was done as a precaution, in case some people may recognize her, specifically, Orochimaru. While the long silt provides better maneuverability, too much action will reveal her undergarments, something which she obviously want to avoid. Anko scowled, her hands itching to tie her hair that clung on to her already sweaty neck. Due to the enclosed area of the training ground, it was unbearably hot.
It seems things was not going too well for Anko.
"Whoa! I didn't know that there was a girl here!" Anko snap out of her thoughts, as the person was obviously referring to her. Not wanting to be disturbed, she glared at the guy who said it, obviously warning him to back off.
"Aww...look what you have done! You have angered her.. Hey Pretty, why don't you entertain us a little?", someone from the group leered.
Alright, I have to keep my cool, be calm and draw as little attention as possible...
"Hey little girl, did you get lost? Want me to bring you back home to momma?"
The group of men erupted into loud guffaws.
Keep my cool, be calm...
"Are you too shy to respond? Well, that's good, cause I like the shy type!" More laughter.
Be cool...and what was that again...
"Well, since its so hot in here don't you think you should undress a little?" Even more laughter.
Anko snapped. To hell with keeping a low profile!
"JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"
Meanwhile......
Kabuto stood at the balcony over-looking the training grounds, waiting for his lord's arrival. He didn't have to wait long.
Soft approaching footsteps signaled that his lord had just arrived. Kabuto bowed respectfully.
"Orochimaru-sama, this is the last group for the recruitment of your elite guards. However... there is one problem. It seems that Anko Mitarashi is also in the group."
Orochimaru's eyes widened a fraction, Anko? It has been a while since he had last heard of her name, much less seen her... But before he could think some more, his thoughts were interrupted.
"JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"
Both heads swerved in the direction of the training ground, just in time to see Anko's fist connect with some random guy.
Soon, chaos erupted before their eyes, the fight becoming messy, with each person to him or herself, attacking everyone within range.
"That idiot girl! The fight is not even supposed to start yet!" Kabuto made to go down and stop them, but he was halted by Orochimaru.
"No...it is alright. Let them continue." Orochimaru watched on with mild interest, his eyes following the movement of only one girl, Anko. Did she think that a little change in appearance would be able to fool him? How naive. However, she must have a reason to be here...he should not let his guard down. The possible reasons could range from assassination to information gathering, seeing that she came alone.
A dark chuckle escaped his lips. He had just thought of the perfect plan for the unsuspecting Anko...
Heh, it seems that things is going to get interesting from here on.
This chapter is the shortest of this series yet, and yes, I have noticed that it keeps getting shorter.
So I have to know, if you readers prefer me updating on a weekly basis, with short chapters like chapter 2 or 3, or longer chapters for prolonged periods, like chapter 1?
And last but not least, please review, although that maybe asking for too much seeing that this chapter is not really up to standard in terms of length... (-.-)
