"Hey, which one of you beautiful young ladies wants to play next hmm?" Jiraiya looked around the room, then pointed straight at you. "You, I think it's high time you had a go at this. Step right up and pick an item out of the bucket of love." He laughed.

You placed your hand in the basket and pulled out the first item you touched. It was a small rectangular box with a red nob on one end of the top. You slid over the knob only to have something pointy launch at you from the box. "What the heck is this? Some kind of finger torture trick?"

"No, it's just a snake in a box. People used to put venom on the tips of those tiny little fangs to easily kill their enemies. But now it's just a child's toy, what a pity." Orochimaru sighed, giving you a wicked grin.

Jiraiya was standing next to you protectively. "I don't think I want to let you go anywhere alone with him. He has no regard for anyone but himself."

"Oh come now Jiraiya, don't steal away our fun." Orochimaru snickered and took your hand in his. "This was your idea after all. I'm sure I can be trusted for seven minutes." He licked his lips and began leading you to the closet, despite Jiraiya's concern.

Before Orochimaru could get you completely in the closet Jiraiya stopped you, turning you around, placing his hands on your shoulders and looking you straight in the eyes. "Look, he's dangerous, I know this. I'm leaving the door unlocked, and if anything happens that makes you the slightest bit uneasy, you scream like Tsunade when she sees a spider. You understand?" You nodded. "Good." Jiraiya let you go, and slowly shut the door, leaving you two alone in the dark.

You could hear Orochimaru snickering beside you, which was a little unsettling. "So, you're already giving me the creeps. Why are you laughing?" You received no answer, only felt hot breath on your neck. You went to scream for Jiraiya, but Orochimaru's hand quickly covered your mouth.

"Calm down little one. I'm not going to hurt you. Why is it that you are all so ready to run away with your tails in between your legs whenever the slightest hint of adversity comes your way hmm?" Orochimaru was bringing himself closer to you, sending shivers through your spine. "A ninja should be ruthless, fearless. You're like a child, afraid of the monster hiding beneath it's bed." He was holding your whole body tightly from behind, you knew he could do whatever he wanted to you. You were holding perfectly still, afraid you could somehow anger him. "Still, you show more courage than most. You were willing to come in here. That says something. Perhaps, you may have some worth after all." He slowly released you.

You scrambled away from him, moving to the far side of the closet. He just stared at you with a wicked grin plastered to his face. "Jiraiya was right." You held your knees tightly to your chest. "You're dangerous."

"Yes, I am." He just smiled.

A moment later the door was opened, you ran out as fast as you could. Jiraiya followed after you to make sure you were okay. "I'm sorry, I should never have left you alone with him."

You could hear Orochimaru speaking to Kabuto as Jiraiya apologized to you. "Kabuto, I have something I'd like you to look into for me. I want all records on our friend over there. Her courage was commendable, I do believe she could prove valuable to us in the future."
