Chapter 21: Return to Wave: Haku

She was alone, bathed in darkness while confined in a coffin and had been like that for what to her had been an untold period of time. It had been horrible at first, and if she was truly conscious of it still she would likely have gone mad. However, the mind is truly an amazing thing and to prevent her descent into madness it had shut down her awareness and like a tape stuck in an endless loop it simply replayed the memories leading up to her current state of being over and over again. Currently in her perpetual dream she was reliving the part where the man she had trusted with her life had discarded her as an unnecessary tool to be locked away until such a time where he may have use for her again.

The past nearly four years ago:

Frightened beyond belief, she had just experienced a sensation that had made her feel as if her very soul was being taken over. She didn't remember how she ended up in the small box she was in since the last thing she remembered was being defeated by the lazy looking shadow user. Furthermore it felt as if her body was surrounded by dirt, almost like she was at the center of a clay doll of some sort since it didn't seem to be loose but packed around her.

Trying to remain calm she began to go over what she could puzzle out of the past few moments. She had awoken to the feeling as if the box she was in was moving. It had felt almost like riding an elevator as it seemed to slowly rise up. It was also accompanied by the sensation that it was in the process of teleporting since wherever it had been at first had been deathly silent but as it began to move it had sound like she had suddenly appeared somewhere where a great battle was taking place. Since her village had been preparing to invade Konohagakure, she assumed that she had been asleep since her loss in the preliminary match of the Chunin Exam. Wondering if she was being summoned as some sort of surprise reinforcement, she wondered what Orochimaru had hoped to gain by making it a surprise to even her. However that was when the feeling as if her soul was being subsumed by some other person began to overwhelm her. Luckily though it ended as the sensation of her box going upwards was replaced with that of it descending as if someone was suppressing the summons. The sounds of battle suddenly cutoff, making her believe that whatever portal she had passed through had shut leaving her back at where she had been summoned from.

She was left alone with nothing for company but the darkness and silence until a pained yell of, "Ahh, goddamn him. My arms, he's taken my jutsu from me." She recognized the voice instantly since it belonged to the man she had sworn to give her life for.

"So it would seem," the calm voice of Kabuto said, and although loyal he still sounded smug even when addressing his master's defeat. "To think the Third was still able to fight at such a level despite his advanced years. And that he would even manage to find a way to defeat the Edo Tensei"

"Damn him," Orochimaru hissed his words sounding like they were coming from gritted teeth.

Hearing footsteps approaching the box she was in, she prayed it was to let her out. However, even though the lid was pulled away no sunlight reached her as the dirt that coated her completely, "It's a shame he managed to suppress you summoning this one. I don't think he would have done as well fighting his beloved wife as he did the Hokage"

"Ahhh," Orochimaru yelled the pain in his dead arms flaring before saying, "Who knows. But if the Fourth used that jutsu against the Kyuubi then we probably now know why we couldn't resurrect him using Edo Tensei."
