Anei, means shadow or gloom
That is the mans name
Chapter 9
She had an odd afinity for ignoring her friends. Well... they probably won't want to be friends with me after this... she thought bitterly. "Anei, I will come with you. You are correct. My alliances are with the wrong people. Or perhaps they are with the right people." she sighed. I hope they can see beneath the surface of my words...
"You know. I was trying to get away from Konoha for the longest time. This charade has got to end."
Hearing the gasp of Jiira, and the angry and betrayed growl of "I knew she couldn't be trusted" from Kimi, she inwardly allowed her shoulders to slump in disappointment. So, they didn't know her very well, they weren't as close as she thought they were... Then again she hadn't really let them get that close to her. Somehow, the feeling that she was going to her doom, had increased largely.
"Let them go," she said distantly. The man gave a very put-upon sigh. "Fine," he muttered. She walked over to him complacently, and he let them go. When they did not immediately leave she hissed at them, "Go, warn Konoha of it's imminent demise,"
Kimi glared at her before giving Jiira a meaningful look, then he took off towards Konoha.
Jiira was analyzing the situation, before rushing at the two. Anei frowned and reflexibly threw a Kunai at the girl. Kazuos' immediate instinct was to block the Kunai from stabbing her friend, except at some point Anei had slipped her weapons away from her. Therefor, she had to use what she had, and that would mean that she used her arms as sheild.
Narrowing her eyes in order to still the flinch that accompanied the pain in her arm. "I said to let them go free," she growled through clenched teeth. Anei smirked, "You said to simply let them go. Not to let them go free."
She growled before her pupils, charged with chakara, turned white.
Anei smirked. "Ah, ah, aaah. For shame." He said smugly.
"I've placed my shadow strings onto my kunai... which are now attached to...YOU. MUHWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" He paused to cough. "I mean... Kukukukukuuuu!"
Then they disappeared in a swirl of shadow. Jiira was left to wonder what just happened.
-+--==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--+-
Blearily, I open my eyes. Why is it so dark? Not that I can't see, or anything like that. It's just abnormally dark... This place seems familiar. Why was this place so fa- Oh. I sigh. I suppose it is a bit redundant of me to finally remember the fact that I, idiotically, chose to come back to this...place. Something familiar... bah. This was my old cell... or previous room.
"Well, well, well... my precious weapon..." said a hissingly familiar voice. I turn around belatedly realizing the full reality of my little capture. "I want to see those deliciously red eyes of yours... my darling daughter..." He hissed. I shudder at the lust in his eye as he gaze expectantly into mine. He's a disturbing creature if I've ever seen one. Because he certainly isn't human.
Frowning, I back away from the thing that called himself a man. Father-snake-man. Yes. That fit perfectly. Though, Snake-man would do. I suppose the negative vibes of my thoughts were being transferred to his piercing gaze. I say this because his eyes narrowed and anger seemed to radiate from him. I'm certainly glad that he isn't enraged with me.

Kabuto stared at her in silent discouragement. "I refuse," she said defiantly. The man in the shadows laughed manically. "You have no choice." He said in amusement.
Orochimaru chuckled evily, "Ah, my precious Anei... So delightful to see you once more..." he said. Kazuo stared in confusion. So he isn't... he wasn't in contact all this time.. apparently that meant nothing...
"You my darling daughter... will tell me every little detail of your life... that I don't already know... or perhaps... there is nothing to tell..." said Orochimaru. "I will destroy your little family... yes... and it's all your fault. You of all people know how to destroy me... but you won't tell them will you.. no. You won't, because you...still... want me to love you... to acknowledge that you exist as more than a weapon. Pity that you hold onto that dream..." Kabuto left the room trailing Orochimaru, and leaving her in the room with Anei.
_===__+==---++---+__---++===_
I wince. Numbly, I realize that it is true. That I could have saved them if I were to tell them how to fight my... how to fight the snake. I can't bare the thought that my subconscious still wants to be recognized as his daughter. Somehow, I feel as if I were betraying my daddy-blue-eyes. By having these thoughts... these wishes... even if it is subconscious. Distantly, I note that I'm alone with the shadow-man. Even in being fourteen, I can't help but place many descriptive names on those that have influenced me in some way. Like, Daddy-blue-eyes. Who was truly, Naruto-tou-san, to me. And Snake-man, who is well... a snake man, and my biological father. These names... they stick in my head.
"You do realize that you've signed a death warrant on your village... your supposed home." snickered Anei. "Your father had a wager. If you show him your red eyes... then he doesn't kill the entire population, but apparently... you merely want blue to flash behind those lids... amusing... are you trying to keep some of your daddy alive." Anei was decidedly annoying, I decide as I stand and back away from him and against the wall. "Shut up," I say. Though I doubt with the shake in my voice that I was anywhere near convincing in getting him to actually do as I commanded.
He merely chuckled, before he slowly walked toward me and caressed my cheek... with a kunai. This action left a thin trail of blood below my right eye. I freeze slightly, as suddenly I feel my knees buckle, and my heart sped up. "Wha-wa- what ha-haa-have you...dd-do-done t-to m-m-me?" I ask as I shiver uncontrollably. He smirked. "We'll be having five sessions... I put a mark on your cheek... in each session, with a poisoned kunai, your father.. he has the last session. Won't you be happy to die with the mark of your fathers' inhumanity on your belly, and whiskers on your cheeks." He asked sweetly.
I don't anwer. I'm in too much pain. Yes. Pain. Immense, imeasurable.. pain. The cold is painful, and I actually like the cold... but this is a different kind of cold. Frowning, I decide to ready myself for the death that is sure to come. Something warm... solid... pain.... NO, I must escape the warmth... But I don't want to go back to the cold... The harsh, painful cold is much better than the bittered reality that is warmth... and very painful. I find myself nearly unconscious, I try hard to reach for the darkness but I'm pulled into the light. Or in this case to more shadows...
The torture continued... brutally. I would be beaten, then he'd use the dagger... Of course... this didn't mean that some of it was emotionally enhanced too. The poison in the dagger was affected by emotions.
This was the fourth session. "Your friends aren't coming... you know this do you not," said Anei simply. Of course I know that. Stupid shadow-man. I'm not actually important. I'm not important at all. The village and the safety of those residing therein is what is important. I can't breath. This is hopeless. I want to die. But apparently I'm not good enough for death. At least this is what I keep being told. I can't keep fighting this torture is killing me, and I am in welcome of the outcome.
"You aren't important to them. I sincerely doubt that they care enough about you to even give a second thought." He said to me. I watch as he leaves the room. Leaving me within my prison, with the affects of the poison still in my system. Everytime... everytime, after the first time that I nearly lost consciousness... I saw my daddy-blue-eyes... He's always staring at me... his eyes sad, and disappointment radiating off of him in waves, but before I can get closer to him.. he disappears and the all consuming darkness begins to seep in. I'm always awake and semi-coherent before the darkness can grab me, and this torturous bright light is always on... always pulling me back from the death that I want.
I sit there... for weeks'. Under the influence of the drug, for it apparently wasn't a poison.. yet. The drug will allow my body to be most subject fall to the poison. I note that I really had hoped on some level that someone would come. Well, I should have learned not to hope a long time ago. "I can't wait to see what becomes of my dear daughter..." said a sickening voice... which I know belongs to my... hated fated to kill me father.
_---_--_-_=+==_--+-=-=_=-+-+-+-+-__
There was immense pain and Kazuo stared in horror as her wrists were tied to the wall, and her feet were tied to two metal poles. She frowned. "Seven...seven... seventy slashes with the spiked whip." said Kabuto. She had an urge to run, but then again... she really didn't want to. She wanted to die. So why was she against the seventy lashes. "I can't really... deal with it..." she muttered out loud.
Big Mistake.
_==_-=+=_+===_=-=+-=-+-++=_-=+_-+=-=+
I hear harsh laughter. "I see," said Orochimaru in amusement. He watched me get beaten, whipped and tortured. Yes. That and he watched as Anei did worse. He laughed the entire time. I can't make myself care. Ever since those life changing six words left my lips, things got worse. Much worse. "You have no one but me. You know this as well, and obviously everyone else only cared about you because of obligation."
I narrow my eyes. I know what he says must be true. With my presence gone, then the obligation of caring for me left as well. Ah well... I can't... say that it matters anymore. Ok, so it matters, but I don't care because I truly wish to die. There is no way I want to survive with the only one that I have as him. "Been quite a while.." I hear a drawl from my left, and I fight the instincts that said to look that way. I already know who it is. "Did you miss me?" Somehow... many of the things that I had learned within my fathers home... which ironically I'm here now so.. yeah.. anyway, I remember... some of my studies... There is a room in here somewhere... a secret passage way...
Then again... who cares. It won't do me any good to... "Are you ignoring me?" The question was hissed in my ear and I fought hard not to flinch. "Anei has given me the pleasure of your torture today... as he has more important things to do..." I give her a blank stare. Tayuya. It has been a while, but I will never forget the torture that she can turn out. She was even more Sadistic than the snake man on a good day. The woman smirked before running a perfectly manicured nail down my jaw. "So pretty. So beautiful..." she muttered as she slashed my cheek with another mark. I belatedly realize that she had poison on the tips of her finger nails and not the drug that had been given to me. Of course snake man noticed this as well. I was nearing where I wanted to be. but then I saw a flash. "You are my demon. You will not die. My dear daughter, your life is mine, mine is yours... they are intertwined... No matter what happens, you're going to want to please me. In some way. So it is written, in blood might I add, so it shall be" He chuckled evilly,"Have you ever wondered why you never told anyone....truly.. any information about me..."
He paused, and I gave him credentials on noting my genius. I frown. Then sudden fear and understanding falls upon me. I shiver... The realization is chilling. I remember the seal that was placed on my back. The bastard had no intention of giving me a normal one. I suppose my ignorant jealousy of Sasuke was a waste, because my seal... was special... which made me a special case.
That was then, and this is now. He had created a seal... for me, like no other. Because, really, who was the bigger threat... his daughter who knew his personal life and enough to destroy... or minions who only knew enough to set him back. I gulp... Really, I know it's not like me to gulp, but I did. "Now... either you tell me of Konoha's secrets and die, or you come with me... we destroy Konoha together... then you die." he said grinning maniacally. This time though, his tongue came out. "I do wish to see those eyes..the red eyes of the Kyuubi blood are nearly as good as the Sharingan... both are undeniably... arousing."
" You freak... I can't believe..." I fight the sudden temptation to show him those eyes that he loves so much. "No." I say... I make it sound so simple... but it takes energy to revoke his wishes... why now? Why would he truly activate the seal now? "No to what?" he asked. I flinch. "No... I won't tell you anything. Anei was spying get him to do it. And No... I won't give you what you want. You sick freak!" I scream with difficulty as I'm slashed once again on the cheek. The last thing I see are the enraged eyes of the snake man as he slams the kunai into my chest. The sweet oblivion that takes me now is nothing short of a blessing. I travel a path. I feel numb and I like it. It's very dark. I see minute light at the end of my path and I walk slowly. Disbelievingly, toward the light. I see a figure walking away. Gasping I run to my daddy blue eyes, who turns to halt my procession toward him. He shakes his head. "Go back," he says. I shake uncontrollably. "I can't fight this fate daddy... please let me come with you... please...my friends... they... they won't be amenable towards me...... Oh, please let me come with you..." I beg him. It is very unlikely that he will agree... very unlikely indeed. "You are my daughter... mine. You, technically, have my blood. Please.. kit. Go back. There are people there who love you. no matter what. Make me proud"
--_-__-_---_--==+-_--_-_-_-_-__----==----_-==-_==-
Orochimaru frowned. One of his minions came back... that can't be good. "Orochimaru-sama! The elite of the Shinobi of Konoha are here... They paried our attack..we had to withdraw." Said the man. "Great..." he muttered under his breath as he walked out onto the field. Only to have his head bitten off by a snake. How ironic is that? Then again the upload of irony sky-rocketed when it turns out that the person who summoned the snake was Sasuke. Without their leader the minions were chaotic. Neji was the one whom walked into the room and carried his 'niece' out of the torture room. Sighing, he muttered about people who succeed in weaving against fate.
=+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+=
I feel myself waking. No, I don't want to move... I don't want to live... why?!? Desperately I try and gain the sweet dark abyss that was there moments ago. NO! I want my oblivion back. "Please... PLEASE!" I'm surprised when I note that it's not me yelling please. I open my eyes to see pink.. and blond... and Neji and Sasuke. Coughing I choke out... "Why is Pinkie here lying on my stomach... I have a broken rib..." It's amazing that I don't react to the immense white in the room. Or maybe it's the fact that I don't really have time to react to it. Please tell me, why did they bring me back... I wanted to die! Then... I remember... the words of my daddy blue eyes...
FINE! happy daddy, I'm going to try to live. I smile at them in amusement as I realize that they are staring at me. They stay for a little while longer before leaving. I relax slowly against the bed and watch as my friends came in. Jiira and Kimi were silent, before Jiira spoke,"Ka-chan... I knew... that you were... trustworthy. Even though I didn't really show it. Thats why I ran at you with only a kunai, knowing that you would not have let me get hurt. I'm sorry... that you got hurt in the process though."
I nodd my eyes shined happily. Then I turn to Kimi. He stares at me. Then offers a small smile. I give him an even smaller one in return before I nodd to him as well.
I fall asleep. Some time later, I hear a door opening. Opening my eyes I look over and smile widely at Shikamaru. My lazy friend. "Shika-kuuuun!" I cry though I can't jump up right now. Though I do lower my voice slightly. "I wondered when you would come by to see me... mr.everything-is-too-troublesome." I say in amusement. I can tell that he sees the gratitude in my eyes. With my need for quiet... well, comfortably quiet, company.
"Wanna play Go?" he asked. I nodd. As we set up the pieces, I think silently...
The fact is... fate deals a bad hand, and is strategically genius at making that hand last a very long time.
This is my life.
AN: I"M DONE!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! I know it's short but at the moment I REALLLY DONT CARE!!! I"M DONE! OH YEAH UH HUH YEAH YEAH YEAH-YEAH!!!!!
