AN: So smint45 on Aff asked: Does you working on Walk the Edge mean Our Truths is nearly finished?

I can tell you right now...This story is done. Well, to be precise, I have written all of the chapters that makes up this story. All 65 of them. Yep, we're just under halfway through this story you guys! You have a while yet. If I get to the 50's without having another finished story waiting in the wings, I'll be dropping to posting just one chapter a week but that's a while yet.

I am going to state this: I do not post a story unless it has been fully written. Our Truths has been fully written and is now being posted.

So no worries. Me working on Walk the Edge is just me preparing the next story.

Remember, you can get a link from me (or check my profile if on AFF) for my livejournal link to keep up with what I'm doing.

And to note: I am doing a Drabble a Day thing, starting Wednesday, where I need pairings from the Naruto, Bleach, Saiyuki, and Weiss Kruez worlds. I have about 22 pairings as of now and I can create more myself (and one of the pairings is doing a kind of “let's be a tiny series here” on me). So if you have a pairing request, go ahead and ask!

So for now, enjoy!

*~*~*~*

“Sir?” Kabuto watched as his master flexed his hand with a thoughtful look on his face. It was still odd to see Orochimaru looking as he did. He had transferred himself into a cloned version of his original body after he had found out that his true body had been destroyed in an attack against one of the villages under his control. But Kabuto was starting to get used to it, even though he still didn’t know why the man had decided to go back to such a body. Especially after all of the years that he had worked on becoming immortal and powerful.

“Kabuto.” His name was a softly spoken word, Orochimaru frowning as he looked up from his hand. “I find that there is still a lot that I have not been able to find out. That there was a lot more done to me without knowing what happened.”

“What do you mean?” Kabuto asked as his sat down on the bed. He was wearing a full ROOT uniform, his hair dyed black for his supposed undercover mission, but it was rather comfortable.

Orochimaru sighed as he shook his head, sitting down onto one of the plush floor pillows, letting his legs stretch out before him, crossing. “I think that it has to do with what I have discovered about the Akatsuki and their work with Danzo,” he admitted after a moment. He rubbed a thumb over his bottom lip as he frowned. “I really do not know what to think…” he trailed off.

“Perhaps I may be of help. That is why I’m here,” Kabuto said, smiling softly. He loved seeing some of the man that he had known as a small child shining through the darkness of his past. He knew that Anko would have stopped and done a double take at seeing him return to himself, having her own memories of how he had been when she had been a wet behind the ears Genin.

“Yes, I suppose that is true. You have become quite the brilliant nin over the years,” Orochimaru said, shaking his head with a wry smile dancing on his lips as he laced his fingers. “You do remember the name that I gave you when you asked what I had meant about a Sharingan correct?” he asked.

“Of course I do. Imagine my surprise when you said that one Uchiha Madara, instead of being dead for so long, is actually alive,” Kabuto sighed, shaking his head as he leant back on one hand.

“Surprising, yes, I suppose. But not so much as you would think. He was well known to tamper with things in a time when the people didn’t really care. And before our current days, the Uchiha’s were also well known for their long lives.” Orochimaru’s lips thinned out before he shook his head. “I found that he has, for lack of a better term, come back. When I refused your services to help him rebuild his body after the failed attack on Konoha, he found someone else who had been willing to help him,” he admitted.

Kabuto blinked at him several times, opening and closing his mouth. “Who?” he finally asked, Orochimaru shrugging a shoulder.

“To be honest, I have no idea at the moment,” he admitted, looking to the younger male. “My spies and informants haven’t discovered who it was just yet.” he sighed and rested his chin on his hands, looking out of the window of the room that they had rented for the meeting. “For once in my life, I do not know what to do, Kabuto. It wasn’t me, but yet it was me doing all of those things that I have done over the many years,” he said quietly. Kabuto just stared at him. “I wanted to do nothing but help everyone, but somewhere along the way, I forgot my path. Forgot what was truly worth my time. I have no doubt that the hypnosis that I was under just helped to twist me further and further off of what I was supposed to do...”

“But still it was you in a lot of ways,” Kabuto said for him. Orochimaru nodded his head with a sigh. “What do you know then?” he asked him, his mind already working over the information that he had learned. His master and sensei had always said that it was a good idea to have more than one mind working at a problem. Things tended to get solved faster.

“I do know that he’s working on something, and that it is very big,” Orochimaru hummed as he stood, starting to pace about the room in his fluid movements. Just like the snakes that his family tended to resemble, he moved in a fashion that was nothing more than...slinky. His hair was brushing well past his ass, the body that he had settled once more into being rather weak for a few months which had allowed the locks to grow without hindrance.

It made Kabuto smile at the fact that it was so long. He could remember that at one time Orochimaru had allowed his hair to grow out before, becoming thoughtful most days. But then he had gone to meet with someone and ended up coming back with much shorter hair. And again back on the dark and dangerous path that he had been on before.

But it was looking to him as if his master was working on turning back to the path that he wanted to truly travel.

“Do you have any idea of what some of the plan could be?” he asked when his master came to a stop, standing before the window, standing up himself. He reached out carefully, unsure of what his reception would be, and only got an amused look from his master as he started to slowly braid the long hair.

Orochimaru made a thoughtful sound. “They’re going to try to gather the biju again. This time though it’s going to be something big,” he said, tucking his hands up into his kimono sleeves and biting at his bottom lip. “I think...Do you remember when I told you the legend of how the biju came to be in this world?” he asked.

“It was the tale of the Sage of the Six Paths, his twin brother and their mother, the Ten Tail’s wasn’t it?” Kabuto asked, Orochimaru nodding his head with a smile. “She was the first to use chakra and she hated the fact that they could use it too. But they sealed her away when she tried to do the ‘peace by force’ thing right?”

“Yes, to a point actually. She started out wanting to start the constant wars that were ripping the lands apart. So she ate a forbidden fruit, the fruit of the Shinju. After she became known as the Usagi no Megami, or The Rabbit Goddess, but later was seen as a demon when she developed a God-Complex,” Orochimaru told him. He stared out of the window as he felt Kabuto finished braiding his hair and tying it with a bit of leather. “As you said, she didn’t like the fact that her sons could use the same power, loving them but at the same time hating them for daring to use her power. So she went after them to kill them. In the end, they stopped her and sealed her away as the core of the moon. One son went to watch over her remains, while the other stayed. And became the Sage.”

“I never heard this part,” Kabuto said, coming to stand next to the older man and staring at him with a worried frown.

“It has taken me years of hunting down information and various legends to gather the truth, Kabuto.” Orochimaru shifted on his feet, looking at his apprentice. “Uzushio had a startling amount of scrolls on the subject actually. I learned that she had taken the fruit that she had eaten and combined it with herself and became the first biju, the Ten-Tails. She was going to take what she considered was her chakra from her sons. By force. After they defeated her, like I said, one went to watch over her while the other stayed behind and became the Sage. The very builder of our world and everything that we know. What no one knew was that she somehow had a technique that would put the world under a spell, much like when a Sharingan user put someone under hypnosis. The Sage though was able to break it.”

“And after all of this happened?” Kabuto asked, tilting his head to stare at the other man. He had a feeling that there was more to the story being told.

“It was the Sage who created the Nine Biju’s as we know them.” Orochimaru stared at his companion. “He had taken her power into himself, and then found that it would be best to split the power up into nine different beings. And the world slowly forgot that they are sentient beings with their own minds,” he said, his eyes dark. “I believe that Madara wishes to bring the Nine Biju together into one form and become the Ten-Tails himself if not just the Jinchuuriki of it.”

“Well...fuck,” was about all that Kabuto could think of to say at that. He bit at his bottom lip as he thought about it. “What are you thinking of doing?” he asked.

“I’m also thinking that there is someone who is pulling Madara’s strings, or at least set him on this path. There is more yet to the story that is being weaved around us, but we do not know what it is. I think that we may need to contact Tsunade-chan and Jiraya, and lay out all of the information that we have,” Orochimaru sighed. He rubbed at his eyes and groaned at the thought of facing his old teammates. Kabuto smiled softly as he patted his arm.

“And as I said, fuck,” he stated, startling a laugh from Orochimaru.
