The Love Of A Snake!

Him and Her

I want to warn you I wrote this story back when I was somewhere between 12-15 so please be kind when commenting, thanks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura has been running away from Konoha's Anbu for about a year now. She only slept, bathed, and ate when she had worn out the Anbu. Why you ask? Because the village believed that she had stolen a scroll from Tsunade's office that contained all kinds of information about her and her clan. She wanted to return it, but she didn't know that it was a "top secret" scroll. Anyway, on with the story: 

"I really need to shake off these annoying Anbu," Sakura mumbled, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle in as the night deepened. The shadows of the Land of Sound loomed closer, and she knew she had to act quickly. With determination sparking in her eyes, she began to devise a clever strategy to outsmart her pursuers. Moments ticked by when she suddenly exclaimed internally, 'I've got it!' 

With a burst of energy, she sprang into action, teasing the Anbu with a playful taunt. "You think you're so smart, following my trail like bloodhounds!" she shouted, her face alight with mischief as she dashed ahead in an S pattern, her feet barely touching the ground. 

The Anbu, a seasoned team of six, exchanged looks of frustration. They had been chasing her for days, and she remained elusive, always a step ahead. 

~Hours Later~

Sakura glanced over her shoulder and saw three Anbu sprawled on the ground, their bodies limp from sheer fatigue. A small smirk crept onto her face as she mused, 'Three down, three to go.' 

"Alright, time for plan B," She mumbled to herself, her mind drifting as she raced on. With a sudden twist to the left, she unintentionally veered toward The Sound Village. A place she had not stepped foot in since she last saw Sasuke. A pang of regret hit her, but she pushed it aside. 

The sun had disappeared hours ago, and the moon cast a silver glow over the landscape as Sakura's feet pounded the earth. She was well aware that she needed to halt her fierce escape before fatigue claimed her completely. Her chakra was dwindling, and her breathing had become ragged. 

Casting a desperate glance over her shoulder to gauge the distance of the pursuing three Anbu, she lost focus and collided with an unexpected man. Dizziness swirled around her as she turned to identify the man, but her vision began to fade, and she felt her body giving in to exhaustion. The last thing she saw was a set of strong arms wrapping around her and long strands of dark hair cascading over her face. 

~Orochimaru~

Over the last several years, Orochimaru had been on a relentless quest to find a beautiful woman whom he could cherish and build a family with. Strangely enough, Konoha was the last place on his mind, despite its significance. With a keen awareness of his checkered past, he decided that a nocturnal approach to Konoha would be most prudent. Yet, the thrill of the potential connection with his future woman ignited a sense of urgency within him. The gentle scent of cherry blossoms wafted through the air, reminding him of the fleeting nature of life and the beauty of change. The moment the idea of Konoha flickered in his mind, he felt an irresistible pull, prompting him to set off on his journey without delay. 

The moon was high and full, casting an irresistible glow over the landscape, guiding him as if by fate. After a long three-hour trek through the dense woods of The Sound Village, Orochimaru found himself lost in thought. As he strolled beneath the towering trees, images of the women from Konoha filled his mind, each one sparking a different reaction within him. He pondered the merits of each, weighing their qualities against his preferences.
