Manami's P.O.V
I walked down a dark forest, which was somehow familiar to me. Have I been here before? The scent of wood and leaves was tickling my nose. I used to love this smell, however, now it felt uncomfortable.
I didn't want to be here. I glanced behind me, but there was nothing. No beginning and no end.
I started walking faster. What is this place? So dark and dense... So cold as well.
I looked down only to see myself wearing a kimono. My eyes widened - it was green and black, the bottom of it was decorated with detailed silver flowers. Golden obi... So familiar...
I touched my hair - it was put into a neat bun.
"No... It can't be," I whispered to myself, shaking my head slightly.
I quickly jerked my head up when I heard a quiet melody. Somebody was playing a shamisen. It sounded neat and beautiful, but all I could feel was a shiver run down my spine. It was coming from somewhere ahead of me, yet I couldn't see anything. The only thing that was in front of me was complete darkness.
I started walking again, trying to reach the source of the music. My steps were inaudible. The moss under my bare feet felt soft. If it cracked and a huge hole opened, I would fall straight into it. The ground would swallow me completely.
Something glistened in front of me and I stopped dead in my tracks. The thing was lying on the ground. I approached it to get a closer look.
It was a silver grass-snake. It was pretty small, about the length of my arm, very thin as well. However, I couldn't stop staring at it. It seemed like it was made of pure silver - although there wasn't a single ray of sunshine in this forest, the serpent's beautiful silver skin was still shining brightly.
I took the snake into my hands - it was very cold and slippery.
"What are you doing here?" I asked silently, as if it was able to hear me.
I gulped when our eyes met - the snake's eyes were bright yellow. They were looking straight at me. My body froze, I couldn't move at all. What was it doing to me...?
The snake didn't move either - all it did was stare at me, putting me under some kind of spell. What was going on?
The music in front of me stopped playing. Something weird was happening... I could feel cold sweat dripping down my forehead.
I dropped the serpent to the ground abruptly and stepped back. The snake fell on the soft green moss. Its eyes were still fixed on me.
Before I noticed it, this small serpent began to change its form - it suddenly grew longer and thicker. It looked like it was standing up on its legs. Its silver skin cracked and something else emerged from it. Or more like someone.
Long, midnight black hair was blending into the darkness of the woods. Sharp yellow eyes... Snow white skin...
Orochimaru...
"G-Get away from me..." I whispered and took a couple of steps backwards again.
He was in front of me. Everything around us died down. The trees disappeared. The moss turned to nothing. We were in a middle of nowhere...
Just darkness. My heart was beating at the speed of light.
"D-Don't come near m-me..." I whispered, feeling completely horrified and shocked.
What is going on? I need to get away somehow. I need to run away...
I blinked just once, and Orochimaru was here, right in front of me. He eyed me in an odd way and then smirked. I shivered at the sight of him. I felt like his prey. He was taking his time to get me, as if he was enjoying every second of it.
His snake slits grew bigger and bigger. His slim, pale fingers, they were reaching for me.
No... He is going to devour me.
I tried to step back again, but there was nowhere to go - my back hit something.
Orochimaru's breathing tickled my neck, so softly, like a breeze coming from the sea in the morning. So tranquil and firm...
Before I realized it, Orochimaru kissed me. His cold lips ravished mine mercilessly. His strong arms were locked on my waist, leaving me no chance to escape. His intoxicating scent... His taste... It was driving me insane.
I wanted to scream. I wanted to ask him to stop, but I couldn't.
"Calm down, Manami-chan... Relax and enjoy."
His long tongue went inside my mouth and I couldn't stop it. His touch was burning my skin. I could feel tears forming at the corners of my eyes. I don't want to... Leave me alone... Don't touch me...
Please...
"Manami-chan... Manami-chan! Wake up!"
This voice...
My eyes flew open.
"Are you alright, Manami-chan?"
Silver hair... Purple eyes... I blinked a few times to make sure that what I was seeing was not a mirage. I guess it wasn't.
"Suigetsu...?"
I gazed around - this place was bright, nothing like the forest I have been in just a few moments ago. It was a room. Actually, it was completely white...
"She recognized me!" Suigetsu grinned.
My body felt somehow numb. I tried moving my right arm - only now I noticed that I was lying in a bed. I was in my clothes, but there was a thin blanket covering the lower half of my body. What is this place?
A strand of my hair was getting into my eyes, so I slowly tried to put it away. It was difficult to control my hand - it did not want to listen to me. I felt my forehead - it was cold and slightly moist.
I glanced back at Suigetsu, who was standing on the left side of the bed and staring at me. He looked curious.
"Where am I?" I tried to speak out, but my voice sounded more like a murmur.
"In a hospital, duh," Suigetsu explained. "What happened to you?"
A hospital...? I looked around again - surely this place resembled a hospital room. It was small and bright. There were a couple of shelves on the right of the bed, as well as an old, slightly worn out brown armchair, however, nobody was sitting there.
My gaze was caught by Sasuke, who was standing next to the door in front of me. He was staring at me as well with his arms crossed. His expression was difficult to read, like always.
What happened to me? I couldn't remember it very clearly. Sea... Blue sky... A dock... That's right. The last thing I remembered was staring at the sea. After that... Nothing.
"You're finally awake."
It was Sasuke's calm voice. I glanced at him.
"How long have I been unconscious...?" I asked him after a short pause.
"More than one day already!" Suigetsu shouted, waving his arms in the air. "We got worried!"
One day? It can't be... Why would I pass out for such a long time?
As if somebody read my thoughts - all of us glanced at a lady dressed in a white robe who just walked in through the door. She was probably a doctor. A very young one, though - her blond hair was put into a neat bun, her beautiful eyes were dark blue and shiny. She was probably in her thirties. She was very pretty.
She quickly scanned the room, only to smile warmly as soon as her eyes landed on me.
"Miss Manami, how are you feeling?" She spoke out softly, closed the door and stepped towards me.
She was standing on the right side of my bed now. I could feel her eyes analyze me, however, it did not make me feel uncomfortable.
"I'm fine, thank you..." I muttered and tried to get up.
It took much more effort than I imagined. As if my own body didn't belong to me. I managed to sit down and lean against the wall behind me for support. My vision got a bit blurry, so I shook my head slightly. I wasn't feeling too strong after all. This made me let out a deep sigh.
"I'm amused that you are even able to get up, young lady," the doctor smiled at me again. "I expected you to be unconscious for another day. You are one strong girl."
Huh? This got me even more puzzled. What was wrong with me?
"Doctor, what happened to Manami-chan?" Suigetsu asked, his voice looked as confused as mine.
We all stared at her and waited for the answer.
"You have a serious condition of anemia, Manami," the woman uttered, her face suddenly became darkened. "If your friend were at least half an hour late, the consequences would be... Severe."
I couldn't help but stare at her, my eyes widened. Anemia?
"What do you mean "severe"?" Suigetsu asked again.
I could see him furrow his eyebrows. He had a displeased expression on his face. At the same time, he still looked lost.
The doctor closed her eyes for a second then opened them again. I watched her long eyelashes quiver. They looked like two black butterflies landing on a flower.
"To put it briefly..." She spoke out again and turned her eyes back to me.
They were dead serious.
"Manami, you were about to die."
