Draco knew that Renkaji needed time to sort through his emotions and decided to let him go but not without making sure that one of her dust-sized crystals ended up in his pocket so that she could track him later. Draco felt Sasuke hold her close and hugged him back, it made her feel better to know that Sasuke still saw her as a little sister even after leaving the village. It made her feel like he hadn't changed so much to be unrecognizable and that there was still hope for him to come home.<br/><br/>Draco heard him tell her that it was good to see her again before giving her a kiss on her forehead. She heard him say that he hoped she'd been well. Draco smiled sadly and said, "As well as someone viewed as the Akatsuki's personal weapon can be. Orochimaru is still bound to be angry with me for destroying all his research on the Kekkeigenkai within me that he created, thus making it impossible to recreate it or improve it for his use. He's not nearby, is he?" Draco soon heard the hissing of a snake and caught Orochimaru's scent and said, "Nevermind, I got my answer."<br/><br/>Draco tried to look confident when facing Orochimaru but the fear was reflected clearly in her eyes. Draco said, "Been a long time, Orochimaru. Last time I saw you I had just finished burning all the research materials and samples of the Copycat serum. You must be very angry with me for doing that. Afterall, I was the only subject that survived the procedure. All the others melted from the inside out and there was no way to improve the serum from their remains since they were nothing more than a liquid themselves." Draco was clearly scared of Orochimaru, his experiment on her was successful but it was so painful that it killed her ability to feel physical pain.
