Serpent's Wrath

Lost Hope/Love

Izumi: This book is almost done, my dear readers!

Zibby: Let us know in the comments below what you would like to see in the final chapter. 

Izumi: I do not own any of the Naruto characters or Zano and Akane. This is all for now so let's get on with the story.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zibby's PoV:

He had put his hands down as I walked around him to my throne-like chair. I slumped down into it and rubbed my eyes. After all these years, my so called "father" wanted to see me.

Zibby: And why exactly would Orochimaru want to see the daughter he drugged, threw out, and completely forgot until now? Hmm?

Kabuto: If I may ask, what have you been doing all these years? Elder Brother wants to know.

I took out a dart with a paralyzing poison infused into the wood and threw it at Kabuto. Glaring at the man I once called brother, I spun my web around him.

Zibby: You are no brother of mine. The Zibby you knew is dead. She's been dead ever since you and Orochimaru left me to die with some foreign disease you two injected into my blood. I am still fighting it today! Now tell me, why. Are. you. Here?

Without a second thought, I stormed up to him, grabbed his arm, and teleported us both to the one place I knew he could not escape without his chakra. Starting to sweat, he seemed to be at a lost for words while I held onto his arm so he would not fall to his death.

Kabuto: Listen, Zibby. You know that your father and I would never harm you intentionally. It was just..

Zibby: NO. You listen. And listen good. I have been suffering for over four years. And not once did I hear anything from you guys. I killed my teacher long ago. She is buried with my hopes of Orochimaru ever loving me. And now, you want me to go back?! No. If he really wants to see me, bring him to my domain. Then we'll talk.

I could hear him physically gulp as I let go of his arm. Not having any control over his body other than his mouth, he was falling at an alarming rate, but he would not die. My father would never let his right hand man die. 

Zibby: 3.

Song: 2.

C: He's here, Zibs. What are we going to do?

As I had expected, he showed up and saved Kabuto at the last second, but someone else also showed up with a goofy grin on her face. Orochimaru took the dart out of Kabuto's skin and made him drink something that removed all of my poison. 

Akane: Zibby!!! Guess what I just found out! Your father is here! Should I call Zano over as well? We can HAVE A TEA PARTY!

Patting her head as she bounced around me, I smiled warmly at her. However, it did not last long as Orochimaru threw a kunai at her head, but I managed to block it with my own before it hit her.

Zibby: Nice to see you, Orochimaru. How's it been being evil?

Orochimaru's PoV:

She saved the girl who was bouncing around her and glared at me. My own daughter has been turned against me, but she does not seem as strong as she should be.

Orochimaru: My daughter, what is wrong? You should be stronger.

Within seconds she was in front of me with her fingers on my forehead sending her chakra into me. The different waves flowing through her were intriguing, but I saw something that bothered me.
