To say it was a dark and stormy night would be an understatement. It was colder than most winters, wetter than a spring rain, and darker than a rogue ninja’s heart. A solitary horse and rider clattered through the Sound Village, iron shod hooves striking sharply against the dirt road. The horse’s hooves only making a muted thud against the ground. It was an urgent sound, for the horse was moving fast. Soon the horse and rider had stopped in front of a small house. The rider halted his horse, jumped off and ran inside the house. He ran to the one place he could think of. His daughter’s bedroom.
When he arrived there a man in all black greeted him. His young ten year old daughter was crying next to her mother’s dead body. The man pulled out a gun and the young girl’s father was dead as well. The young girl screamed in horror as the man advanced on her. Just as he was about to kill her another man had appeared in front of her. He was a pale man with long black hair and amber eyes. The killer was very alarmed and tried to make a run for it but was abruptly stopped and seized by the anbu. The pale man turned to the frightened girl. He knelt so they were at eye level and gently brushed her cheek to wipe away some tears.
“My name is Orochimaru. What is your name?” he asked with a soft smile.
“Yuki..” the girl said still terrified. “Hey now Yuki..No need to be scared anymore.. I’m here to help you.” Orochimaru said soothingly. Yuki threw herself into Orochimaru’s arms and cried. She held onto him tightly. For the first time in his life, Orochimaru felt love. True,, unbreakable love. This little girl was counting on him. She needed him. He was all she had now. Gently he gathered her in his arms and carried her away. He vowed to never leave her and always protect her.
. . .
Perhaps that is why she adores him so much?
