Ok, so I didn't get many reviews, but hey it's all-good. One person reviewed, and so I'm continuing for them.
The next morning is a quiet one. All four of them sit at the table, not saying a word to each other. Orochimaru sits across from Kiamara and Sasuke; Kabuto sits next to Orchimaru.
" So, you are going to Konoha this morning," says Orchimaru taking a sip of his organic tea, " Make sure you do not blow your cover Kiamara for there will be consequences for it. Sasuke-kun, you and I will continue our training."
"I will not blow my cover Orochimaru," says Kiamara with a yawn. She was unable to sleep last night from Sasuke's frequent waking up in the middle of the night. At one point she wanted to make sure he was ok, but every time she would poke her head out the door, she saw Orochimaru's yellow eyes peering straight at her.
Sasuke doesn't touch his food, which is no surprise to Orochimaru and Kabuto. He looks much worse than yesterday, his complexion still pale, and eyes more darkened underneath. Still, Kiamara can't help but give a quick stare at the Uchiha boy. Even through those eyes that seem to lose one in space, she finds beauty in him.
"Kiamara!" Orochimaru interrupts the girl's daydreaming, " I believe it's time you start leaving. Kabuto, walk her to the door. Sasuke-kun, let's go." He gets up from the table, and grabs Sasuke by the wrist. Pulling the boy up from his seat, they head out towards the back.
"You know Kiamara, you're very beautiful," says Kabuto as they're walking to the front door, " You have such nice shiny long hair. Yellow as the sun. Eyes as blue as sapphire. A body so tempting I just want to-"
"Shut the fuck up!" snaps Kiamara, "You bastard." She opens the door, and storms off. Kabuto watches her take off, delight shining in his eyes.
Orochimaru and Sasuke walk outside. Neither one talks or makes eye contact. They finally reach an open terran; Orochimaru stops walking. Sasuke looks up to see where it is that they're training. He sees there is nothing but dirt.
"What is this?" he asks coldly, refusing to look into the Sanin's eyes.
"This is where we're training Sasuke-kun," answers Orchimaru with his back facing Sasuke, "It's said to be very hot out today. Too bad you didn't eat, or get any water."
Sasuke is angry now. " That's because you fucking dragged me out before I could-" Orochimaru suddenly disappears before he could finish his sentence. Activating his sharigan, Sasuke looks around frantically for his sensei's attack.
Suddenly, Orochimaru comes out from hiding, and goes straight for Sasuke with his snake, Manda. Sasuke easily sees this, and dodges. Manda then turns into mud. The Uchiha is dumbfounded, he had no idea the snake could do that. Yes, he knew Orochimaru could, but not Manda. There are a lot of things, secrets, which Orchimaru keeps from Sasuke. The boy suddenly is hit in the back by Manda's tremendous tail. Sasuke skits across the rough dry floor, and Orochimaru watches. Slowly getting up, the boy sways to his feet. Before he can even recover from the earlier attack, Orochimaru plunges a powerful punch to Uchiha's stomach. Sasuke doesn't show the pain, but being punched on an empty stomach that hasn't eaten for who knows how long is painful. The training continues on for hours, the sun only getting brighter, and hotter. Orochimaru continues to test Sasuke's limits, pushing the boy harder without a break.
"Sasuke-kun, you are weak," says Orochimaru taking out a water bottle, " How do expect to kill your brother at this state?" He takes a sip of his ice cold water.
Sasuke is weakly trying to stay up. His body is trembling, and his breathing his heavy. With no food or water, the sun hitting down on them harshly, the dizziness is taking over.
"Orochimaru-sama, I do believe you are teasing our Sasuke-kun so," says Kabuto suddenly appearing next to his master. He adjusts his glasses, and looks over at Sasuke, "Oh my Sasuke-kun, you don't look too good. You should've eaten your breakfast this morning."
"He says he is an avenger yet he can not ignore simple heat," Orochimaru takes another sip if the water, and offers some to Kabuto.
Sasuke suddenly finds the scenery around him go into a blur. He feels a sudden major dizziness, and collapses. Orochimaru catches Sasuke in his arms before he can make contact with the ground.
"Poor Sasuke-kun," says Orochimaru carrying the boy in his arms, "It seems he has had enough." There is a moment of silence as Orochimaru takes in Sasuke's face as if seeing it for the first time. "Kabuto, I want you to go check on Kiamara. Leave me alone with Sasuke." Not once does he take his eyes off Sasuke.
Kabuto grins, and adjusts his glasses. "Yes Orochimaru-sama." With that he leaves.
"Ms. Cinchona, there is an injured boy you need to attend to," says a lady walking into Kiamara's office.
"That's fine bring him in," Kiamara smiles.
When the door opens, a blond-haired kid walks into the office. He sluggishly walks over to the table, and sits down. Kiamara walks over to him, and looks at his wound.
"Nothing serious, it's just a scrape," says Kiamara observing the wound, "Some peroxide should do it. What is your name by the way." She starts walking over to the medical cabinet.
"Uzumaki…Naruto," answers the blond still looking down, "Aren't you a little young to be a nurse?"
"Naruto huh? I am young, but I'm only filling in temporarily."
There is a moment of silence.
"So, you are a quiet one," says Kiamara still digging in the medical cabinet, trying to break the silence.
"I don't see why I bother with school," says Naruto suddenly, still looking at the ground, "Perverted Hermit and Kakashi-sensei said that while I'm training, I'd still have to got o school. But why? I want to get stronger, but how can I go to school when there isn't much time left. I need to save Sasuke before-"
"Sasuke?" Kiamara suddenly drops the bottle of peroxide on the ground at the sound of Sasuke's name.
Naruto looks up at her in confusion. "Yeah Uchiha Sasuke. He is my best friend…like a brother. We were just starting to get along when suddenly Orochimaru, that fuckin snake bastard, had to come into our life and fuck everything up!" He pauses for a moment, looking back down to the ground. "It's been two years since I've seen Sasuke. I don't want to waste any more time because in less than a year…Orochimaru will have Sasuke's body."
Kiamara gets up from cleaning the peroxide she dropped. Putting the now empty bottle on the table, she turns around to look at Naruto. She wants to tell him that she knows where Sasuke is, but something inside her tells her not to. Going over to the blond, she kneels down in front of him. She lifts up the boy's chin, and makes him look her in the eye. "What does Sasuke look like?"
Naruto looks at her with question in his eyes.
"Naruto, I need to know," says Kiamara sternly.
Suddenly, the door opens, and someone walks into the office. Kiamara releases her grip on Naruto's chin, and turns around to face Kakashi.
"I came to check on Naruto," he answers looking at Kiarmara with no expression, "You are the nurse here correct?"
"Temporary new nurse. I'm filling in till further notice," corrects Kiamara going back over to the medical cabinet. She starts putting away the stuff she took out when she feels a hand touch her shoulder. Turning around, she finds Kakashi is the one with his hand on her.
"Can I talk to you in private?" asks Kakashi, still with no expression in his face.
Kiamara nods, and follows the older man out the office. What could he possibly want? Has he found out already? I just got here . . . how did he-? Bumping into Kakashi, she snaps back to reality.
"You know, Naruto still believes he can save Sasuke," says the silver-haired Junin, "As much as I want him back, I know Sasuke will never return. I heard you and Naruto talking. Why so interested in Sasuke?"
Kiamara doesn't know how to respond. She stands there looking at the older man's back, not saying a word. Fuck. What do I say?
"Do you know what happened between Sasuke and his teammates?" asks Kakashi turning around to face her now.
Once again no answer.
Kakashi tells Kiamara everything; from the day Sasuke joined Team 7 to the battle he and Naruto had at the End of the Valley (I forgot the name of the place ).
Speechless, Kiamara still remains silent. Finally she speaks, "I had no idea.. I'm so sorry Kakashi." They really miss him here. Sasuke has no idea how much he is cared for here. Sasuke...I'm sorry. "Kakashi...I-I have to tell you something."
He looks at her with surprise. "Yes? What is it?"
"I-I . . . know where-" Suddenly, she sees a oh-to-familiar face standing on one of the roofs of a near by building. Kabuto? What the fuck? You bastard.
"Kiamara, you were going to say something?" asks Kakashi, unaware of Kabuto's presence.
"Nothing, nothing, never mind. I have to go now," with that Kiamara returns to her office to tend to the blond.
Kabuto grins, and adjusts his glasses. "Orochimaru would love to hear this." He disappears, and heads towards Orochimaru.
Ok, I'm going to leave the rest for the next chapter. Too long huh? Sorry about that, but I was trying to make it interesting for you all. Anyway, some reviews would be much appreciated .
