Our Reflection in Each Other's Eyes.

Chapter 1: Your name shall be Kyoko..

The cold wind howls in agony alongside the villagers. The screams of terror are carried by this howling wind for vast miles ahead.

Somewhere along the way this village had been caught in the middle of a dispute within a feared organization.

The lives of the innocent weren't spared as the anger filled the air.

A child stands outside the village, remaining in the location she had been told to. She is scared and confused, never in her short 6 years of life had she witnessed such an atrocity.

People fled the location and not a single person spared a second glance at the crying girl.

Two men were in no hurry seeing as they were casually walking. They were walking in front of the crying girl, close enough to notice her. The girl heard the two different sets of footsteps, but didn't pay attention to them until one of them halted.

She looked up at the person who had stopped in front of her to see a man with long black hair pulled back into a high ponytail, side glancing at her. His golden eyes observed with curiosity yet his face remained expressionless.

"Lord Orochimaru we should hurry. It looks like it may start to rain and we don't want to run the risk of the Akatsuki finding us." Spoke a younger man with silver hair and glasses.

The man with golden eyes didn't bother paying attention to the younger man as he approached the little girl.

"Are you alone?" He asked.

The girl nodded in response as he questioned further.

"Need help finding your parents?"

She shook her head, "I don't have any."

"Why don't you come with us then? It might rain and you'll get sick. You don't want to get sick do you?"

Her childish behavior caused her to scowl at the thought of being sick, "Yuck, I don't like medicine. It makes my tummy hurt."

The man with golden eyes smiled as he held his hands out to the girl. She immediately obliged and went into his arms. She was shivering and water had begun to start dripping. The man placed her inside the cloak he wore, before zipping it up to warm them both. With one hand he pulled the hood of the cloak over their heads to shield them from the fast pouring water droplets.

"Is she really necessary?" Asked the man with the glasses.

"She isn't your responsibility therefore it's none of your business." He received as an answer.

All three of them had arrived to a very deserted location and stood in front of what appeared to be a hideout. Soon they were all inside protected, by a dirt roof, from the heavy rain.

The man carrying the girl placed her on the floor before removing his soaked cloak. The girl remained still, being afraid of the darkness the room contained. Slowly the room began to light up as the man with glasses lit candles located along the walls.

The girl built up the courage to explore the now lit hallways. She arrived to a place she concluded to be the living room.

"What's your name darling?"

"I don't have one. Sensei called me 4" the little girl answered as she looked around the room.

"Who's your Sensei."

"I don't know. She told me to call her that."

There was a moment of silence before the child broke it.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Orochimaru and he is Kabuto."

"I want a name like Ochimaru's." She smiled widely.
