Okay, I had to write a fan fiction about my favourite pairing! I've read a lot of fanfics about KabuShizu, a lot of them were Shizune finding Kabuto and healing him and they fall in love. Then, I got to thinking... What if instead of Shizune finding Kabuto, it would be Kabuto to find Shizune? How would he act, would he save her or kill her? And thus this story was born! Onwards!

Chapter One, A Surprising Saviour

A young medical ninja sighed as he walked through the silent forest. 'I really need to take more breaks, but how can I when Orochimaru-sama's condition is worsening?' The ash-grey haired man thought to himself. During the siege on the Leaf Village, Orochimaru battled the Third Hokage. His Lord obviously had the upper hand in the battle however, the Third Hokage tried to seal Orochimaru's soul with the Reaper Death Seal. Dying before the process could be finished, the Third only managed to seal Orochimaru's arms. His arms now cause him antagonizing pain, concoctions help ease the pain but without a younger, stronger vessel Orochimaru will... 'Now's not the time to be thinking about this...' Kabuto told himself. A medic at his level can do nothing for his Lord. They attempted to persuade Lady Tsunade into healing Orochimaru however that ended in a battle that was lost.

He continued on his walk through the lush forest. Kabuto realized he was close to Konoha, the Land of Fire. 'I'd best be heading back,' Kabuto thought. Then something caught his well trained eye. A hand, petite and diminutive, most likely female.

'What is this?' Kabuto thought, getting curious. He drew closer, to get a look at her face. Her is raven black, straight and shoulder-length with bangs that cover her ears and frame her dirtied face. Her flak jacket has long sleeves, covering her hands, and is dirtied and bloodied as well. 'She's been through a rough fight... Where do I know that face?' Kabuto thought to himself. 'Tsunade's apprentice! What was her name?'

"Shizume, Shisude...?" Kabuto thought aloud. 'Never mind her name, what shall I do with her?'

Shizune coughed and breathed heavily. "Who... are you?" She asked quietly.

Suddenly, Shizune was a young woman with shoulder-length light-coloured hair, bloodied and battered. She wore a Iwagakure flak jacket and forehead protector. She spoke, "Who... are... you...?" Her square glasses lay beside her, the glass cracked.

Kabuto fell back, shocked. He shook his head, Shizune was herself again. Kabuto got up and started to walk away, a bit shaken. 'I can help her... but I shouldn't, what would Lord Orochimaru say if I told him I helped the enemy? But...' He stopped and turned to look at her. 'We could always use a hostage.' Kabuto grinned maliciously. Kabuto picked up Shizune with uncharacteristic gentleness and took off towards Orochimaru's lair.

Shizune's POV

Lady Tsunade had picked her to heal some injured troops, nothing too special. Everything was going fine, they healed the injured shinobi and they were on their way back when they were attacked. There were five ninja, all most likely jōnin and were heavily skilled. They barely chased off the ninja, and she was unable to see any head protectors to identify the ninja. Genma, who was sent along to guard her, was the least injured and went left to go get help for her. He hasn't come back yet.

Shizune sat up and used what was left of her chakra to try and heal herself. Shizune collapsed, exhausted, and unable to heal herself. She could hear footsteps approaching. 'Good, Genma must be back.' Shizune thought, relieved. She cracked open her eyes, trying to see who it was but her vision was blurring.

"Shizune, Shizune." A voice said. Shizune couldn't recognize whose voice it was.

"Who... are you?" Shizune called out. The only response was more footsteps. She could feel her consciousness fading. Then, she felt firm, but gentle hands wrap around her. Shizune felt as if she was safe and secure as she let unconsciousness take her.

Genma's POV

They arrived at the spot where he left Shizune. Except she wasn't there.

Raidō sighed. "Genma, now is not the time for your jokes."

"But, she was right here!" Genma protested.

"Then she must've been kidnapped!" Raidō scoffed. "Yeah, right. Now show me where she really is."

I know this is sorta short but I think it's a good place to end the chapter. Hope you enjoyed!
