Manami's P.O.V
One step... Two steps...
Twenty three steps...
Just like that night when I was coming with Orochimaru-sama to the hideout for the first time, I was now counting my steps. My steps to my lord and my true love. I couldn't understand if there was a hurricane inside my mind or serenity. Orochimaru-sama... I longed for him way too much.
"Watch out, Manami-chan!" I almost fell on my nose, but Kabuto grabbed my arm. I blinked at the ground a few times - there was a rock there and I didn't even notice it.
I turned my face to the gray haired ninja and he smiled at me.
"I know you missed Orochimaru-sama, but he wouldn't be pleased if you died right before meeting him."
I smiled at him too. What a sly man. No wonder Orochimaru-sama chose him - he would always pick only the most unique handymans.
"I survived these three years with you, I think I can make it these next few minutes too."
He let out a deep sigh, shaking his head in discontent. We were already by the exit of the cave. I felt my body shaking slightly in anxiousness. The palms of my hands were getting slightly sweaty and I frowned - I hate when this happened. I should just calm down. But how could I? Orochimaru-sama was returning. He was almost here. I felt his presence somewhere close... I needed him that much...
"Manami-chan, would you please calm down?" Kabuto spoke to me again, continuing to smile at me in a funny way.
"I can't, Kabuto, you know that I can't..."
"When you are so excited, it almost feels like you didn't change at all in these three years. Still the same annoying little girl."
I furrowed my eyebrows and snorted. What does he mean I didn't change? I am sure I did! At least a bit. My ninja skills improved and I think my appearance changed quite much too...
Kabuto snickered at my expression. He knew perfectly well how much such talks irritated me. He knew that I wanted to change for my master - I wanted to grow up, be beautiful and strong.
My thoughts were corrupted by the movement of the stony doors - a huge cloud of dust arose, like these doors haven't been opened for a long time. But that was not true, Kabuto and others often went in and out of the hideout, except me. I haven't been outside for three years.
I held my breath and my eyes widened. Same beautiful long black hair, that stirred the very bottom of my soul...
Same smooth pale skin, that has always been shining to me like the tallest lighthouse.
And same stunning serpentine eyes, highlighted by two bright slits, that I love so much.
It was him, my master. Orochimaru-sama.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Again those dull stony doors, that I haven't missed at all.
I watched them from afar as we were getting closer to the hideout. The disgusting snake man was smirking slyly beside me, jumping from branch to branch a few steps ahead of me. His face that I have been seeing every day these past three years was still bringing me nothing but disgust.
I focused my attention back to the cave, which was now right before our eyes.
I wonder if she has changed. Of course she did. But how much?
After these three years, the thought of her still makes me feel weird. I used to be a weak brat before. I have been running from her, but all of my effort was in vain. I finally stopped avoiding the image of her that was haunting my head. I was anxious to see her now.
The doors moved and I narrowed my eyes slightly. The hideout was dark, but I was used to the darkness, so it wasn't a problem for me to notice Manami.
My heart almost froze in my chest the very same moment my eyes landed on her.
Manami's P.O.V
I stopped breathing as my master's orbs met mine - they slightly glistened and widened, sending a shiver down my spine.
"O-Orochimaru-sama..." I whispered to myself, but the sound barely escaped my mouth and I wasn't sure if anybody heard me. But my master did.
"Manami-chan..." He hissed silently, just like he always would when I pleased him in anyway. His handsome face looked surprised. I studied his features carefully - his looks didn't change at all. How could he stay so gorgeous forever? My breath was taken away.
"Welcome back, Orochimaru-sama, Sasuke-kun," Kabuto smiled, bowing down to our master and taking a glance at Uchiha. "Wow, Sasuke-kun, you look grown up. Seems like our master has trained you very well."
Only then, after his words, I finally took a glance at the Uchiha boy too, who was standing behind Orochimaru-sama.
Though, he wasn't a boy anymore. My eyes widened again and goosebumps appeared on my skin. He changed way more than I imagined. Not only did I feel this powerful dark aura coming from him, but his appearance left me speechless - he grew up into a man whose single glare could kill. His raven black hair was still as wild as before, but he grew much taller, his skin was more pale and shiny than ever.
Feeling his crimson eyes being glued to me, I didn't dare to return his gaze - the thought of staring straight into his sharingan made me shiver again. Sasuke has changed a lot. What did Orochimaru-sama do to him...?
I heard a quiet flick of a tongue - and turned my eyes back to my master. He was eyeing me daringly, his smirk wider than ever. I watched as he took a step forwards, closer to my hypnotized form.
"Won't you greet me, my Manami-chan?"
