Welcome to Gaia! ::

Meanwhile, not far from the hideout, a young queen bored of the usual tours, and the not yet discovered test subject, was spying on the daily training routine that Sasuke Uchiha was undergoing. This queen's name was Dee.

She kept her "power level" on the down low so not to be spotted just yet, though she figured even with her suppressed skill, Sasuke probably knew she was there, or at least Kabuto will detect her pretty soon.

Thinking to herself, "This is so incredibly risky. I must be crazy to be doing this just for thrills. I wonder if Sasuke really did notice me yet, and if he did, I wonder if he even cares that I am here. I wonder how many ninjas would think I am worthy of serving them? I do have one unique skill besides the one I am using, a chakra based skill, but what else could be worth while? I wonder if my Tuffle DNA could be of use here somehow. Yet, this is so damned cool watching Sasuke. He is so hot, and so not worth Sakura or Ino. And if he's secretly gay...I doubt even Naruto is worth him. I think what Sasuke likes is proof of strength. Obviously he likes Orochimaru, or at least think the Lord of Snakes is worthy of his time. That curse mark actually adds to his good looks. I wonder if I will ever get one..."

On and on the queen thought random thoughts like these blissfully unaware that someone had indeed noticed her.

Dee came out of her hiding spot, blushing. "I figured you'd spot me sooner or later. Nice work on the training by the way. Oh, but if you did something like this..." demonstrating a unique spin on how Sasuke had been training, thus being more effective, "Then you'd deal more damage without spending so much energy on your attack. Just saying. If it were me in your position, I'd do that to impress Lord Orochimaru."

A second later, the target Sasuke had been trying to knock down shattered. "See?"

(Imagine my move being an improved spin on a leap followed by a throw of a kunai right into the target.)

"My name is Empress Dee. I am a traveller with skills. I wouldn't be walking through camps like this if I couldn't handle the danger."

From her symboless headband, the center glowed temporarily. "I see that you are the infamous Kabuto," Dee had said, "Supposed to be one bright mind and as nasty as the insect you are named after. I take it this must be some sort of lab considering you just crawled out of a hole within it, so to speak."

Laughing at her own bad humor, Dee covered her mouth. Then she said, "Pardon the bad jokes. Now, while I am indeed a traveller, I am seeking some excitement to my dull life. Rumor from where I come from tells me that if I find Sasuke Uchiha then there will never be a dull moment if I join whatever team he is serving at the time. No, not for his good looks, though, his good looks don't hurt in terms of excitement..just not the excitement I am looking for. Nah, there is something bigger going on here, and I want in. That curse mark that Sasuke sports I am sure would be a good place to start to see if I am worthy. If I bore one of those, I bet I could handle it better than Sasuke."

It was a challenge, nothing more, nothing less. Dee wanted to wear something other than her mystical headband and lipstick as an accessory.

"If a test is required, then just tell me what I must do," Dee replied. She knew it was a bit much to ask, but she was at least having a bit more fun now. Besides, she wanted to see how much better she would handle such a mark than what she had heard of Sasuke. According to her sources, Sasuke had to deal with a lot of pain and there were moments where he even blacked out. But then again, he was only human. Dee wasn't a human, which she wondered if Kabuto was going to test and see if she was an alien or not.

Nearby she could sense that yet someone else was watching her besides Kabuto and Sasuke that is, but she also knew that compared to her, they were small time ninja. All except for one in the group that were about 500 meters away. "Just so you know, we are being watched by 4 ninja. 3 small time, but one bigger power. The bigger power is currently dealing with the 3 small time and it makes me wonder how come it is taking that bigger power so long to rid us of the problem. I think the bigger power is Lord Orochimaru, but I cannot be sure until I get closer."

Dee led Kabuto to where the enemy ninja were fighting, and within minutes, Dee used one of her unique skills. It is called the Kiryuken blast. The enemy ninja was sent flying and had died upon the impact with the ground. The one she killed was the weakest of the bunch and was the only one not of the leaf. The other two were not famous, but Dee thought she recognized the one.

And as she had suspected, the two were trying to use their skills against her. Dee used many dodging techniques and quite a number of offensive techniques also. When all was said and done, however, one ninja from the leaf went scampering away, probably to get back up.

"Normally, I would just kill all of them, but I think I want to have Sasuke do a bit of battling too. I cannot leave him out of all the fun. Besides that last one I let get away. Or...do you want me to go after him? I am sure he is going to get stronger reinforcements and ones that everyone knows."

"Its actually a bit of both, I think. I haven't really tested what chakra based user I am, but based on birthday, my element is fire, though, I think the base of the attack is wind. Its not easy conjuring that one. It took me a good while to learn it."
