#lostorochimaru

I became immortal Then you came into my life A bright, bubbly healthy boy Who showed me what was good in this world I became immortal To watch you grow big and strong To teach you what's right from wrong To guide you from harm. I became immortal To pick you up when you fell To hold you high amongst the clouds Daring you to fly I became immortal To come to your aid whenever danger was near To fight off your demons and show you the light. I became immortal To be there for your first crush To dry your tears, and wipe your cherubim face To kiss your forehead and hold you tight Promising to keep the monsters away I became immortal To watch you venture out with your loved one To listen to your stories and watch your face light up with happiness as you spoke Even though you left me behind I became immortal To forever feel your unconditional love and passion To guide you while raising your own To show you the path of fatherhood I became immortal To be there when you grow old... To be there to comfort you as your loved one passed on To be there when you kin leaves you. I became immortal But I was not ready When you closed your eyes... One last time.

The male hissed, his eyes closed as he snuggled into his bed sheets and pillow. His hands were clasped around the softness of the feathered pillow, trying to relax, trying to get some sort of sleep.... But sleep eluded him. Exhaustion was plastered on pale features, his cheeks looked even more sunken than ever. If anything, Orochimaru looked dead. Eyes fluttered opened slightly, adjusting to the darkness, shifting as he changed positions, trying to get comfortable. Stress oozed from his beaten and battered aged body. What had he done to deserve this? Nothing. Ever since the war was over, he had done nothing but be a 'good' little snake. "Whose...there?" The elder muttered, sensing someone in the room with him. It was faint, and for a moment, Orochimaru thought he was hearing things. And the massive headache throbbed in his frontal lobe, cause disorientation, unclear thoughts and it went so far as to disrupt his chakra flow.

       ———; Many years had past since he was born, a mortal who enjoyed the same sun as they once did. But...he was a mortal breed in darkness. The sun did not caress his skin with warmth. The Sun did not wish for him to live among the mortals. The Sun did not care for beings like him. However, even with the sun's harshness, Orochimaru managed to survive.                    The vampire lived in a castle overlooking a valley, with a small little village below. His presence wasn't very well known below, for everyone who knew of him, was dead. He only existed in legends and myths. And it seemed like those were starting to fade as well. That cannot happen.                   The newer generation was soon going to feel his wrath. 

       ♪———; "How...strange to be included on such a holiday...I rather not indulge in a day like today."

       ♪———; What an undying will and love for someone so stupid. The male smirked, licking his lips as he stalked the cage that he was in front of. He had managed to capture a certain green leotarded individual who he couldn't stand; Lee. The Sannin wanted to break him. Make him plead and beg for his release, but not after he had a bit of fun first. Orochimaru licked his lips once more, his arms resting on the small of his back as he spoke. "Do you know why I chose you, Lee?"

                    His appearance was genuinely the same, however his complexion was peachy, and his purple eye markings were no longer there. Golden hues were replaced with green cat like eyes. Considering how daft the majority of Konoha was, the male didn't put too much thought into changing his looks. Not entirely. He found himself lurking by the swing set by the academy, sitting on it, his black sandals kicking at the dirt before hearing a group of girls scream with utter obsession, grabbing his attention.                      And there he was...Sasuke Uchiha. Orochimaru grinned slightly, unable to help himself from staring for a few, amused by the amount of prospective girls that the boy seemed to have. But he waited for his chance, there was no point in rushing.

                     However that was all to change on this day. A rumor floating in the wind suggested that there was a certain Uchiha that was going to be joining their band of misfits. A grin tugged at the corner of the male's lips. Perfection, the male was utter perfection. Beauty adorned him from head to toe, and he had a chip on his shoulder that not many possessed. Orochimaru licked his lips, savouring the possibility that he could manipulate Itachi into giving him what he wanted. Though, he had to do it with tact, with no mentions of ulterior motives.                       Orochimaru, aged (??) waited patiently in the room with the statue used to extra bijju before hearing footsteps behind him. The serpentine male was excited, shivering with anticipation. He just wanted to get it over with and consume Itachi then and there, but he knew that he had to gather more information first. Turning, those feelings melted away, as he calmly smiled at the newcomer. "This is quite the surprise..."
