His Place/Is it Really You?
I couldn't stand it any longer, I bolted. Luckily for me, I didn't get very far. Despite his slim build Kabuto was as strong as he was quick and before I had taken two steps he had my by the scruff of my shirt.
"Leggo!" I shouted. Then I realized my mistake. "On second thought, you might want to hang on to that. I really would like to live to see the end of the Bush presidency." I laughed.
"Stay here and don't move." He instructed.
I nodded and he let go of me before disappearing down the hall.
"Hey Baldwin, remember when I said I'd stay put?" I thought.
"What of it?" Baldwin sighed.
"I lied!"
I sounded far too happy for my own good. I tip toed down the hall in a fashion that even I, Kelly of the clay feet, couldn't understand.
"Be careful!! You'll be killed!!" Baldwin whimpered.
"Hush you." I replied.
I kept moving until I could hear voices.
"We are still searching my lord." Kabuto was saying.
"I don't want to wait! ...Give me… something…" another voice growled.
I almost swooned. Me, the veritable rock of steadfastness, swooning! But hey, if you were suddenly within feet (or meters if you're European) of your ultimate fangirl crush you'd swoon too.
"It's him…it's really him!!" I whispered. "It's Orochimaru!!"
"Kabuto…" he growled. "Who have you brought into our home?"
I paled. Really I did. This was book 17 and he was a little on the grumpy side. I was all set to bolt when Kabuto appeared, grabbed my shirt and yanked me into the nearby room.
