Zen just walked in to the hokage's office. "Lord hokage, some one has taken Cassie in the forest of death!"
the hokage spoke calmly. "you seek asistance from anbu than right?" as he said that some came from another room near by. "I'm sorry but for the murders of others in our village I have to have you captured." an anbu walked towards Zen.
Zen walked back. "I did it to protect some one!" he ran out of the building as he ran he made the hand sign for his kekkei genkai. "Hiragana!" he yelled in a woried voice and he darted off to the forest of death. "they couldn't have gotten far. he walked miles after miles when he got on the road.

Orochimaru laughed again. "Do you? Well I guess you don't want to live much longer do you? I have a deal to make for you. If you join my sound four, I will let you keep your life. Now don't try my patience girl."
Orochimaru eerily smiled "Good. Now as your first mission I want you to retreve your little friend and bring him back. he opened the cell door. "I have others watching you, so don't try anything, you might still lose your life. heheheh." he unlocked the chains setting her wrists free.
---------------------------------------
Zen stopped by a tree to take a rest. "I stand corrected they got really far."
Orochimaru smirked. "good, throw him in the cell you were in."
-------------------------------------
Zen woke up. his vision was blurry. "Where am I?" he looked up at Cassie. "Why did you knock me unconscious???" he looked around, as his vision started to clear he could see orochimaru. "YOU!!! Why am I here?!?! Cassie, why did you bring me here? Better yet why are you helping him?!?!"
Orochimaru smirked. "Tell him, explain everything. I'm leaving on a mission. DON'T LET HIM OUT!" he walked off.
----------------------------------------------
zen looked at cassie. "what's going on?!?!?! why are you doing this...Taking orders from.....him." he looked down at the floor, he remembered being chased out of the village. "They kicked us out.....out of the village you know. becaus we killed the anbe. remember???" he continued to stare down at the floor not making eye contact with cassie.
Zen went nuts when her headband fell to the ground. as it fell he tried to reach out and grab it but it was too far. "I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU!!!! I understand you don't want to die but we got away before didn't we?" he fell silent. ".....*sigh*.....I guess we wouldn't have anywere else to go." he pulled his headband off his head and stared at the leaf symbol on it. "I shouldn't just give up hope....but?" he had a strange mixture of feelings of anger and sorrow. "....*sigh*...."
Zen was speechless. he didn't know what to do. he felt helpless. "Is this what it felt like? When he asked you to join? Or did you happily join, knowing the consoquences? that's what I want to know, did you feel helpless, alone?!?!" tears formed in his eyes. he started to realize the harsh criticizing he has done. ".....I-I'm sorry. I just don't understand." he looked at his headband again and handed it to her through the bars. "Here. Do as you wish to it. It's all I have left now in my possesion." he wiped the tears from his eyes.
Cassie: turns and looks at you with tear filled ayaes and the blood from a kanji symbol on my forehead symbolizing 'hate' is engraved on my forhead and the blood is mixing with my tears and says "i-i'm sorry...zen...i never...meant to....drag you into...this.." and is wincing from the pain from the engraving
(( have orochimaru come back and give cassie the curse mark wen she isn't expecting it. ok?? ))
