A/N: I published this story last year but actually had this written down a long time ago in my notebook from middle school. I took it down and decided to rewrite it because I felt the chapters were too short and that the plot could use some work.

Orochimaru's POV

I was walking back inside after playing outside for a while. It was getting late, so I decided it was time to go back inside. My parents hate it when I play outside late in the back since I'm only about three years old.

When I arrived inside the house, I noticed all the lights were off.

That odd mom and dad never turn the lights off before I come back inside after playing after dinner.

"Mom! Dad!" I exclaimed while walking into

"Orochimaru, stay back. Hurry and go to your room, and don't come out!" Father commanded from inside his study.

I quickly ran to my room and listened to my father's advice to stay in my room until mom or he told me to come out.

I was wondering what was going on. Why did he want me to stay inside my room?

I moved close to the wall to hear what was going out there.

"Where is the forbidden justu scroll!" A random voice shouted.

Forbidden Jutsu scroll. Can this be an enemy that came to get one of the forbidden scrolls that my parents guard? Since my parents are the best when it comes to protecting essential items.

"You never get it! Not as long as we are alive!" Mom exclaimed.

I quickly hid under my bed. I was starting to get scared. So I didn't want to hear any more of this fight.

Please, mom and dad, don't leave.

~●~

I slowly began to come from out under my bed when I noticed how quiet it had gotten.

I then walked out of my room to call for mom and dad. To see if it was safe to come out.

"Mom and Dad! Where are you? Is it safe to come out!" I shouted.

There was no response. I was starting to feel nervous.

Mom and Dad, why aren't you answering me.

"Your next kid. I will kill you along with your parents if you don't tell me where that scroll is." A shinobi said, wearing a black mask on their face.

I don't want to die. Please, mom and dad, save me.

"I don't know where the scroll is."

"Don't you lie to me, kid? I don't believe you." The masked guy said.

I then felt the guy squeezing me in the stomach. I looked to my left and saw my parent's dead body.

No, they can't be dead.

The next thing I knew, everything was starting to go black. The last thing I saw before I blackout was two ANBU is coming inside of my parent's house.

One of the ANBU grabbed the bodies of my parents. After they knocked the guy unconscious, then the other one grabbed me. After that, everything was black.

Why is everything so dark? Am I dead are still alive?

When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was inside of a hospital room.

What happened? Why am I in the hospital?

"So your finally awake." A female voice said.

I looked over to my right and saw a female nurse standing next to me.

"Where are my parents?" I asked.

"Sorry to say this, kid, but your parents are dead." The nurse said with a sad expression on her face.

"No! They can't be dead. Mom and dad, please come back!"

"I'm so sorry, kid, but it's true. The first Hokage will be here soon to see you in his brothers place," The nurse said walking out of the hospital room.

I sat in a ball crying about the loss of my parents.

"You must be Orochimaru, the kid whose parents were killed tonight protecting the forbidden justu scroll."

I looked up to see the Tobrama Senju standing in front of me.

I just nodded my head. Not really in the mood to talk.

"For now, you can stay here at the hospital or go back to your house. I had the Anbu clean up the mess. But tomorrow, I will take to live in the orphanage. That what my brother decided to do with you," The Tobirama said.

"I would like to stay at the house," I replied quietly.

"Ok, I'll take you home. Follow me."

I nodded and followed the him back home. Once I arrived, we arrived at the house. He then left to go back to the Hokage tower to help his brother.

I went up to my room and got in my bed.

I don't want to move into the orphanage. I am going to be all alone there with no friends or family.

Why did you have to die, mom and dad?

I just lay in bed and stared at the wall. Not really in the mood to sleep. I just wanted my mom and dad back. I looked at my nightstand and looked over at the picture of me, mom, and dad.

I will never have a family again, and who will teach me how to use any of the family justu. Also, I was hoping to get the summoning tattoo like mom and dad one day. How will I get it now?

I sighed and snapped out of my thoughts. And decided that I should probably go to bed now.

I went over to my dresser and grabbed some pajamas from my dresser drawer.

I grabbed my favorite pair, purple pajamas with a brown cobra on the pants and shirt.

It was a pair I got for my birthday last year. Also, the cobra is my favorite type of snake, which is the other reason it is my favorite pair.

I got in bed and under the covers and finally with to sleep for the night.

Mom and Dad, why did you have to go and die tonight. I miss you both so much.
