Combined Elements

Chapter 1: A tool for the second time

 

The room was extremely dark. A single candle, mounted on a round table, lit the small area where the two men sat. One of them, seated on what looked like a throne, had skin as white as snow. It made a sharp contrast with his straight, pitch black hair that hung to about shoulder length. His eyes were lined with a light purple color that ran down the sides of his nose, almost reaching his smiling mouth. The smile was a thing of nightmares. It was thin and evil, matching his eyes. They shone in the light of the candle, pale yellow in color, with slitted pupils like that of a snake.

 

“You seem to have a plan in mind Orochimaru. Care to share?” The voice came from the other man, a younger one, with white hair, tied back in a pony tail, and fair skin. The candle light reflected on his round glasses, making him look frightening. His eyes spoke of intelligence and knowledge, matching his strong voice. He too was smiling, a scary smile, though nowhere as evil as his partner's. The man sat on a stool, leaning forward, to allow his elbows to rest on his knees comfortably.

 

Orochimaru nodded slightly, and stared off into the darkness, still smiling. “It always seems as if you know what I'm thinking Kabuto.” He paused. “The current Kazekage of the hidden village of Sand, Gaara of the Desert, is it not? It seems he is extremely powerful, more so than before.” Orochimaru's voice was a soft hiss, matching his snake-like eyes. “I know we were unable to use that power correctly the last time, but what if we take a second chance with him?”

 

Kabuto continued to watch Orochimaru closely, trying to get a hint out of that smooth face. He pushed his glasses back in place before answering. “The power contained in him would be useful, yes, but how do you plan on harnessing it? According to our sources in the Sand village, he has almost completely changed personalities. Before, it was easy for us to control the blood thirsty monster, and have him as a tool for destroying Konoha, but apparently he is now very attached to the village he leads.”

 

At this Orochimaru's smile spread out into a grin. As the flame on the candle flickered dangerously, he replied. “Our method is simple. If Gaara is too attached to work for us, we have to deplete whatever he is attached to…” Slowly, his tongue flicked out, and he licked his lips, as if even the thought of this plan tasted good. At that moment, the flame blew out.
