Fabricated Possessions

A Snake Asks Who I Am

"Your neck!"

"What about it?"

"It's so gross..and long?"

Naruto looked at where his body was, which was far far away, to where his head was.

Which was right in front of him.

It was disgusting.

It was so disgusting, Naruto couldn't help it. He reached out and pushed whatever was in front of him away and threw up all over.

There was no way a human could extend their neck out like that.

And how fast it happened.

An eerie laugh rung throughout the room and masked the sounds coming from Naruto.

He was scared. He thought he was scared before when they had all been going a million times the normal speed a person should be going.

This was different.

He felt it the minute they walked into the room.

He felt it while searching for what he couldn't see but knew was there.

And, he felt it even more when everybody had knelt down and warned him quietly that it was wise of him if he followed suit.

But, he wasn't expecting this humanoid, creature to snap out at him in the same manner as the snakes they were just on.

It was disgusting.

"Well isn't this an unwanted surprise!" It called out, rotating itself backwards and remaining eye contact the entire time until it bound back to it's body.

Then, it slowly rose and descended towards Naruto.

He felt paralyzed. This wasn't a sight he wanted to be see, or a situation he wanted to be in.

To his dismay, the only thing he was able to do was shake and wait for it to reach him.

This was Orochimaru?

Something that was paler than a corpse, and wore drapes tied together with a rope?

If he wasn't in the position he was, he would have laughed at himself for judging apparel in a time like this.

"How interesting."

"Sir, if you want me to take care of the extra vermin, I have no prob-"

"Kabuto", a new person emerged from beside the creature. His presence remained undetected until he let it, which made Naruto's hair on the back of his neck rise. "You go too fast too much, I'd like to speak with him first."

Silence washed over as the one named Kabuto stood still while staring blankly at Naruto's direction.

"Good", Orochimaru spoke, and continued walking up to the blonde until he stood inches away."Don't be scared now, you came here voluntarily."

I most certainly did not.

Orochimaru reached down and cupped Naruto's face, humming softly to itself before turning towards Sasuke.

"Why the fuck would you even consider bringing such a scared little pathetic being into the likes of our group?"

Naruto couldn't turn his head to see Sasuke's reaction, he couldn't do anything besides focus on the feeling of hands holding his face upwards.
