Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Snake's Lover ❯ Betrayed ( Chapter 3 )

Flashback…

“You remind me of a girl I once taught back in Konohakure…”

The child looked up into her master's kind face.

“…Quite a remarkable girl she was…But, of course, she wasn't as strong as you…”

Akebara buried her face in Orochimaru's chest, feeling his heart beat through the thin fabric of his yukata.

“…I don't want to hear about her…” she mumbled.

“Have I made you jealous?” he chuckled.

“No!”

He grasped her chin, tilting her face up to his gaze.

“Don't be. You are far more important then she was” He pressed a soft kiss to her lips.

…End Flashback

Akebara wiped the mist from her mirror gazing at her reflection. She had just finished her bath, erasing the proof of Orochimaru's lust. She self-consciously touched her neck, searching for any love bites that her master was so fond of leaving. Her eyes caught the cursed seal burned into her right shoulder, it burned a fierce red.

“…This will bond you to me forever, Ake-chan. It means you are mine and mine alone”

A rosy blush dusted her cheeks as she gently stroked the mark. A knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts.

“Kimi-chan?” Akebara called hopefully.

“It's Kabuto, are you decent, Akebara-san?”

Her countenance became cold, “Come in”

Kabuto averted his eyes from her towel-clad form “I've…brought you some more contraception pills, I know you were running low…”

He placed the pill bottle on the sink.

Akebara went over to open the window, letting the steam escape, “…I don't want them…”

“Come now, Akebara-san, you are nearly a grown woman! Besides it's per Orochimaru-sama's orders…” he chided.

She hesitated for a moment before coming back over to retrieve the bottle from the sink. Kabuto smiled, nodding to her as he left the room. Akebara listened to his footsteps fade down the hallway as she opened the bottle. She then dumped the tiny pills into the gaping hole of the drain.

“We meet at last, Orchimaru…” the Kazekage said as he approached Orchimaru and Akebara. They both noted how the sand leader's eyes seemed to linger a bit too long upon her. Orchimaru's lips turned up in a confident smirk

“I am most pleased you accepted my invitation” He inclined his head.

“So, what is this master plan to destroy the leaf village?”

“Simple, I propose we attack Konoha during the Chunin exams when they are most vulnerable…”

“And how do you propose we go through with this attack” the Kazekage raised an eyebrow.

“I have now shortage of men who are willing to give their lives for my vision. And, from what I hear, your youngest son has power to spare…” Orochimaru began.

“Gaara is a loose cannon. It is unlikely he will ever go along with your plans…”

“It doesn't matter. Either way, Konohagure will be dealt a serious blow and effectively weakened” Orochimaru smiled unpleasantly. The Kazekage thought for a moment.

“…Very well, the sand village will assist, but not without proper…compensation…”

“What would you like…?”

The Kazekage's eyes drifted back to Akebara, “…The girl”

“…I thought as much…” Orochimaru's smirked widened.

“If you were to refuse me, well, Konohagure just might find out about your plans for them. Even if you kill me, I have advised my men to go warn the leaf village if I do not return by this evening. So what will you do?” the Kazekage went on.

Orochimaru began to laugh, Akebara remained stoic at his side.

“You bastard! Just what is so damned funny?!”

“…you, Kazekage-dono. What makes you think…I actually need you at all?”

“What?!”

He watched in horror as Orochimaru's form began to shift, taking on the Kazekage's own appearance.

“…So have no fear, Kazekage-dono, Akebara will be returning with you to the village of the sand. You can be sure of that…” Orochimaru taunted in the other man's voice.

The Kazekage coughed, blood spewing from his mouth. Akebara pulled the kunai from his chest watching impassively as the man fell to the ground.

“What a troublesome man…” Orochimaru remarked. But Akebara didn't hear him, she gazed fixedly at the blood that covered her hands. Her breath came short and a pleasurable throb pulsed between her legs.

“What is this now, Ake-chan?” Orochimaru took her face in his hand, licking at a spot of blood on her cheek with his obscenely long tongue. “Has the sight of this low-life's blood aroused you? Perhaps you need another `reward' once we reach the sand village…”

“…Onegai…Orochimaru-sama…” she panted. He grinned, crushing his lips against hers in a demanding kiss.
