"Mom... Dad?" My 12-year-old self called out into my dark, empty house 'weird.. they should have been home before me' I thought as I turned the lights on and made my way to the kitchen. The sight of his long black hair and pale skin made me stop dead in my tracks and quickly draw a kunai. "What are you doing here Uncle... I mean Orochimaru?" I yelled out. "Sweet Emiko, you wound me." He replied in his to sweet voice. "Get out!" I yelled. "Now Emiko is that anyway to talk to your sensei?" He said smiling. "You... You are a monster... You... You tricked me! I trusted you!" I screamed as I threw my kunai.

Orochimaru caught it with ease as he lunged for me. I tried to jump back but he was to fast as he grabbed me by the neck and slammed my small body against the wall. "You ungrateful brat, do you even understand what it is that I gave you?" He rasped in my face. I spit in his face, it was the only response I was able to do seeing as how he was cutting off my air supply. Orochimaru just chuckled and wiped his face off. "One day you will thank me for what I did... Maybe not what I did to your parents but there will be a day you will thank me for your enhanced DNA." He said causing the hair on my arms to stand. 'My parents!?!?!' I thought, panicking just before everything went black.

I came to in the hospital feeling groggy and like I got hit by a truck. "Hey Emiko, how are you feeling?" Kakashi's familiar voice asked causing me to come fully wake and automatically touch my stomach. "What happened?!" I yelled panicking. "It alright, it's okay. Tsunade was able to stop your labor. Everything is fine." Kakashi said as he tried to calm me down. Tears of relief started to flow freely, "I dreamt of the last night I saw Orochimaru..." I whispered. Kakashi just nodded and crawled into bed with me.

I don't remember falling asleep but when I woke up this time Kakashi wasn't there so I sat up and lovingly rubbed my belly 'I am so glad you are safe... I love you' I thought smiling. Suddenly I felt him kick, before I only felt little movements and shifting like butterflies but this was a full kick... The first real kick. Kakashi, Naruto and Tsunade walked in to me crying and laughing at the same time, neither knowing how to approach me. "Emiko?" Kakashi asked. "I felt him kick, he is strong... So strong... After everything that man did, after everyone he took away... He can't have my baby." I said smiling feeling the happiest I had in days. Kakashi and Naruto hurried over to touch my belly. "Hey, I get to feel first!" Naruto yelled. "What?! No, you don't." Kakashi said back as he tried moving Naruto.

"Hey stop crowding Emiko!" Tsunade yelled as she hit both men on the head. "Okay Emiko, the baby looks great and isn't showing signs of any DNA abnormalities, I successfully stopped your labor and started you on the chakra control elixir and since you have been sleeping for the past four days I feel comfortable with you going home as long as you take it easy.... One more thing, Emiko, when I was looking into your labs I pulled up your history.. did you know you were sick as a child?" Tsunade asked. Confused I shook my head. "Well your records here say you were, you had even received treatment from the ages 3- 6 years old, then nothing. Do you remember what happened?" She asked. "I honestly don't remember being sick, I went to the doctor a lot but I don't remember anything big... I started training with Orochimaru when I graduated... I was 9.." I said trying to think about what Tsunade was trying to say. You had leukemia, an advanced case, you would have needed continuous treatments.. but now your DNA... It's extraordinary, I have never seen anything like it. Somehow Orochimaru not only healed you but he successfully bound your chakra to the Earth itself, I believe that is how you are able to blend in so easily, why using earth type jutsu even on a mass scale doesn't affect your chakra or even how you are able to use medical ninjutsu so effectively... The Amori line was already advanced in those areas but whatever binding he did... It's remarkable.." Tsunade said with a seriousness that wasn't there before. I suddenly felt sick, the kind of sick feeling that no amount of puking or bathing will get rid of... 'One day you will thank me..'
