After they left the compound the young Haruno looked up at him. "Are you taking me home, Lord Maru?" She asked, wondering if he even knew where she lived. Also frowning cause she really didn't want to go home. "Yes, but if it's ok with your mother I'll take you to the ramen shop after for lunch." He told her as he noticed the frown on her face. "Do you know where I live?" She asked as they kept walking.
Orochimaru nodded. "Yeah, I've been to your house a few time's before you were born." *I know, it's kinda creepy, but I meant it not to sound so... its so hard not to when this is Orochimaru we're talking about* He answered honestly. As they got close to the Haruno compound, Miyako stopped dead in her tracks. She wasn't afraid to go home, she just had to ask Orochimaru a question before she could bring herself into her home. "Whats wrong?" He asked with concern shown clearly in his snake-like eyes.
"Promise me, you won't tell my mommy or daddy about my chakra nature..." She looked down at her feet. "Why not?" He asked. "I'll tell you later, my mommy's coming." She said as she sensed her mother's chakra, which Orochimaru found weird since he couldn't sense her at all, till he saw her come out of her house. "Lord Orochimaru? What's Miyako doing with you? Wheres Lady Tsunade?" She asked worriedly. "She didn't come here?" He asked with a frown.
She shook her head. "The last time I saw her, she was taking Miyako the Hyuga compound," Kira spoke honestly. "Did she even do that?" Miyako nodded disinterestedly as she already had no trust in the Senju. "Pardon my rudeness, but why is my daughter with you?" The Haruno asked.
Orochimaru then explained that Tsunade had come to get him to help in getting her to give her bear to him long enough to be tested but Tsunade disappeared before she got tested. "So, did Mrs. Hyuga say why she has no chakra?" Kira asked. "She said that your daughter put blocks on all her chakra gates except the life and death ones." He informed her. "She also said if those gates don't come off, she'll die at 10 years of age." he continued.'Where the hell did Tsunade go?' Orochimaru thought to himself as he listened to Miyako's mother ask him questions about how to get the blocks off.
"Mrs. Hyuga-chan said that the only way to get them off is to talk with my inner self and that you and Daddy could help me with that," Miyako said finally speaking to her mother. "I see..." Kira said sounding disappointed as she turned to go back into the house. Orochimaru stopped her by speaking. "Mrs. Haruno, do you mind if your daughter goes with me to the ramen shop for lunch?" He asked as politely as possible for being angered at her rudeness towards her own child. Which to him made perfect sense as to why she was not on Miyako's trust list.
"Sure. Miyako make sure you come home before dark ok?" Kira said as she knew her daughter wouldn't come home right after since she didn't like being inside very long. "Ok, Mommy," Miyako said with faked cheerfulness. As the Haruno walked back into her home Orochimaru quirked an eyebrow at her but said nothing as he grabbed Miyako's hand again and walked with her to the ramen shop. They sat at a table in the back of the room, where Miyako picked to sit and ordered their food. Orochimaru ordered something with eggs and Miyako ordered a simple Chicken Ramen.
As the waitress came back with their food, Miyako dug right into it as soon as it was in front of her. Orochimaru chuckled at her as he slowly ate his. "What? Daddy says I have to eat fast if I want to become a good ninja." Miyako said defensively. "That is true, but only if your goal is to become a good ninja. A great ninja takes their time so your body can digest the food it's eating." He said, giving her the same lecture Tsunade's father had given him when he first ate with the Senju. "What does digest mean?" Miyako asked curiously as he finished eating.
"It literally means break down." He chuckled as he realized she had a strong desire for knowledge. "Miyako, may I ask you a few question that I've not been able to answer since I met you?" The Haruno looked at him then nodded. "Why do you trust me so freely? Most others including your mother and father either fear me or think I'm a freak cause of my eyes and skin color." He asked. "Hm, I guess cause you're different from anyone I've met in the village." She smiled. "And cause your eyes, there like mine." She finished.
"How are my eyes like yours?" he asked as he once again found himself confused by her. "They are lonely." She answered simply. His eyes widened some but returned back to normal soon after. "How are you lonely? You have family and friends don't you?" He asked. "I'll answer that question another time, but for now I'd rather not tell you that." She said dismissing his question politely.
"Ok, um why don't you trust Tsunade?" He asked. "Why not have her tell you," Miyako said as she just saw Tsunade and Jiraiya walk into the shop. Orochimaru turned around and also saw them. As they watched Tsunade and Jiraiya, they overheard the two talking. "So, why are you so upset?" The white-haired ninja asked.
"You know that brat of Mr. Haruno's?" He nodded. "Well, I asked her if she trusted me, cause you know Masami Hyuga needed her to leave the bear in another room..." She paused as she looked into her drink. "She told me she didn't trust me, but she does trust her father, Itachi, and the freak! I mean like how can she trust him over me?! Unlike him, I've never killed a little kid!" She grumbled as she sipped her drink. "You forget, she's just a little kid Tsunade. She just probably doesn't understand how creepy he is." Jiraiya said attempting to make her feel better. Orochimaru then turned his attention back on Miyako and tuned his 'comrades' out, when he did he saw her become mad and her eyes change from white and a dull green to pitch black and ruby red in a matter of seconds.
He could also feel a dark aura come off her and at that moment Tsunade and Jiraiya also felt it and looked at her. But instead of lashing out and attacking any random person like the three sanin thought she was about to do, she just shut her eyes and went into a meditative-like state.
~In Miyako's mind~
Miyako opened her eyes and noticed she was in a world that looks to be made up of anything dark, all except one place which she got up and ran to but stopped half-way when she realized her bear was gone. "Where's my bear?!" She yelled in a panicked voice. As she said it she then heard a dark-voiced female chuckle, one that would have scared even the great Madara Uchiha himself. "So, you've finally come to play?" asked the voice with amusement in her voice. "W-w-who are y-you?" Miyako stuttered, though she wasn't as scared as it came out to sound.
"Hm? Why don't you walk into the bright place and find out?" and with that the voice disappeared, leaving her uneasy and contemplating just leaving and walking in another direction. 'I guess since I really don't know where I am I might as well go where she told me...' She thought to herself with a heavy sigh, thinking it was obviously trap-zone. As she reached the lighted area, she noticed it looked just like the park in Konoha and smiled. She then looked over towards the swings and noticed a girl sitting there. She had dark brown hair and eyes slightly brighter than hers.
Her skin was the same as Miyako's though. "Who are you?" "I am you." the person answered with a chuckle. Miyako looked surprised for a moment, then frowned. "Are you... my inner?" she asked.
The girl just nodded before speaking. "I am more or less just that, but that's not why you are here. Cause if it were you would have summoned me instead of the other way around." Inner said while chuckling darkly at the whole thing.
~Out of her mind with Orochimaru~
The three were just staring at her in shock, but Orochimaru soon recovered from his shock and just watched her silently till someone called his name. "Orochimaru-Teme?" Jiraiya spoke. "Hm?" "How long have you and she been here?" Tsunade asked. "Did you... hear us?" Jiraiya asked.
"WE heard everything you said since you've been here, WE have been here for an hour longer than you." He answered, getting angry. "Orochimaru, I'm-" They both began. "Now is not the time for a pathetic attempt at an apology." He said cutting them off. Tsunade and Jiraiya just stared at him, wide-eyed and mouth wide open. If he wasn't concerned about Miyako's well being at the moment he'd have laughed his ass off cause their faces were priceless, but Miyako's eyes had been shut for about twenty-five minutes and he was getting more and more worried for her.
He then decided to pick her up along with the bear and ran as fast as he could towards the Hokage's tower. Once he got there, he knocked on the door to the Hokage's office and entered once he got permission to do so. "What did you need Orochimaru?" Sarutobi asked before his eyes landed on the little girl in the sanin's arms. "Why did you bring her here?" he asked knowing full well who she was since there was only one five-year-old girl with dull pink hair in the entire village. Orochimaru then explained the whole situation to him.
"Why did her eyes turn red?" The sanin asked. Sarutobi sighed and motioned for him to sit in the seat in front of his desk. After he too sat down he put up a silencing Jutsu so no unwanted ears could hear them speak further.
~In Miyako's mind~
"W-why did you s-summon me?" Miyako asked her inner. "Because I feel like you needed to know the truth of the lies your mother and father speak to you," Inner said in an even darker tone as she became slightly angered at the lies she has yet to speak of. The five-year-old just gave her a look that said 'tell me soon or I'll scream'. "Hm, where to start? Where to start?" Inner said with a playful smirk on her face. "Oh, how about with who your real parents are?" inner said as she then looked at Miyako, who looked at her with pure curiosity.
Inner then took that as an ok to start with that. "Kira Haruno and your 'father' are not your real parents, they just pretend to be, so you won't go out looking for them..." she paused to see her reaction to the information. Which if you're just looking at her and you just met her, you'd think she wasn't phased by it. But since inner knew her better than anyone else, she knew on the inside the young girl was fuming at being lied to by the two she should've been able to trust the most. "Your real mother's name is Katsumi of the Hakobi clan, the clan is known for being 'death bringer's' quite literally too." inner said chuckling.
"Why is her clan known for that?" Miyako asked as her eyes popped open in interest.
