    <content type="html">*looks around nervously*  I've been much less active than I probably should be, so...  If anyone wants to RP &lt;i&gt;please&lt;/i&gt; feel free to IM me anytime.  (I'm horribly nervous about starting things with people.  ^^;;;)  And...Orochi-player, we should probably do a log of how him and Kabuto met sometime soon?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, and for the people who don't feel like looking around, my AIM's "Playingmyrole".</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The droning of the teacher was left to the background as everyone else in the classroom concentrated on their own private conversations.  Much more interesting, anyway, than any kind of stupid school subject.  One boy in particular, sitting near the back of the room with one of his friends, seemed eager to drown out the 'nonsense' that he was supposed to be learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I decided yesterday," the light-haired child said, poking his friend once to wake him up.  "That when I grow up, I'm going to be a ninja."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You idiot," his friend mumbled groggily, lifting his head from his desk and stretching a bit.  "You can't be a ninja!  There are no ninjas today, except in the movies.  And they don't wear glasses."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, I'll be a ninja &lt;i&gt;with&lt;/i&gt; glasses!  And then, when I get to be one, I'll find you and shoot you!" the first boy joked, his voice growing a bit too loud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet somehow, the rest of the class didn't seem to notice.  Or if they did, they simply chose to ignore him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ninjas don't use guns, stupid," the other boy mumbled.  "Don't you know &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt;, Kabuto?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'll be a ninja with glasses who uses a gun, and shoot you on one of my super-secret ninja missions for telling me that it's not possible!" Kabuto feigned offense and made little 'shooting' motions with his hand, bullet-noises with his mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'd come find you first to see for myself," the second replied, adjusting his green jacket as he leaned back in his seat and tried to sleep in this new position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so he wasn't a &lt;i&gt;ninja&lt;/i&gt;, but Kabuto had to admit that his current job resembled it just a bit.  His childhood dream, his little joke with his friend, it all seemed to fall into place.  The concept of destiny was one not unknown to him.  Not a single person doesn't think about it at least once.  Does the man make the destiny, or does the destiny make the man?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things like hope are words to bind us, and there's no such thing as a dream come true.  You only get what you deserve.  And his friend was a jackass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Note - Cookies to anyone who can guess the identity of the mysterious friend!)</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was just another, normal, average day in the life of Kabuto.  Nothing seemed out of the ordinary--at least, nothing moreso than the usual things that came with his 'job.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except for one thing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why the hell was he picking up Orochimaru's laundry?</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kabuto sighs.  Everyone seems to think it's great that he has this position.  After all, he guards the king of the pride, the leader of the pack, Orochimaru.  Everyone seems to think he should be proud of his bodyguard role.  They don't understand--it's just something he does.  It's a job to him, not anything out of the ordinary.  Part of the everyday routine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long had he been this way?  He could have sworn that it was only weeks ago that he graduated from medical school.  That didn't get him anywhere.  He was ignored by most on the foundation that he was some stupid new kid to the profession.  Kabuto did some stupid things, met a few people he shouldn't have, not the kind of thing that gets you far in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for the med school degree.  He had taken a few odd jobs here and there, moved around a lot to get away from more people...  Somehow, he had ended up in Vegas.  It appealed to something in him, and he just stuck around.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kabuto was a magnet for trouble, and Orochimaru had gotten him out of yet another tight situation he had managed to squeeze into.  Why, he would never know.  It would be stupid to assume things, but secretly, Kabuto likes to entertain the thought that the man saw something in him where he only saw failure.  A few promises were exchanged that day, and finally, a stable job had been secured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, here he is.  Providing protection for his protector.  Not to mention, putting his medical skills to a good use.  He knows things that few of Orochimaru's underlings would, and never hesitates to show off.  Displays of knowledge are one of his only sources of true pride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kabuto thinks back on those old days of his life, before he joined up with Orochimaru.  They always hover around, just over his shoulder, whispering in his ear.  Always trying to outrun it and live in the present, but he finds that it's hard to let go of such things.  The past will follow him wherever he goes.</content>
