Kabuto's POV:
The trip to the shrine had taken a while, 2 days to be exact. Both Kimimaro and Kabuto never counted the dozens of factors that Mother Nature provided. Countless storms and running short on supplies. There was a small run-in with rouge ninja, but they were all too weak and killed instantly. When their destination was finally reached, Orochimaru couldn't be located, so the medic took it upon himself to visit his patient. Kabuto had expected to find Kiki huddled in bed with a high fever and some tossing and turning from nightmares.
Upon entering her room he saw a naked Kiki forced in the corner, tears mingling with ice-cold water that had been poured on her head-to-toe. Snakes bound her hands and feet and tightly gagged her mouth. But these weren't just any snakes; they were very large copperheads that had bitten and tore bits of flesh off her arms for dinner. Bruises covered her body and it was apparent at first glance that many bones were broken. Her face made him pity her; she had a black eye and a bleeding nose that didn't look like it was going to let up anytime soon. Her eyes were dull and a clouded grey. They were of someone who was hopelessly broken.
Kabuto pulled away his eyes from her stare and immediately noticed Kiki had a small trickle of blood and vomit leaking from her lips. Her eyes were clouded over because she choking and inhaling the fumes of the vomit. Knowing how she might die, he ripped the snake from her mouth and flipped her on her stomach. She began uncontrollable coughing, which expeled the puke, but afterwards she started hyperventelating. She clawed her nails into her palms and tried to wriggle away screaming. Aware of another panic attack coming on, Kabuto grabbed his bag and pulled out a powerful sedative.
Now that Kiki was unconscious, Kabuto performed a thorough examination. The cold water that was poured on her gave her pneumonia A kidney was slightly ruptured. A lung was pierced by one of the 6 broken ribs. Her broken, bleeding wrist had a staff infection. She had a concussion in her temperal lobe. Finally because of Kabuto's rash actions and her hemophilia, she had a high chance of slipping into an anemia-induced coma. Diagnosis: She was a walking (or so to speak) miracle. She needed a blood transfusion and a hell of a lot more chakra then what Kabuto had.
Orochimaru's voice made Kabuto jump and drop Kiki. "Kabuto-kun? What's your opinion?"
"Anoo... Kiki-san's condition is critical. With the shape her body is in and with the curse mark settling, I doubt she'll make it. She probably won't even last the day. And can you remove the snakes?"
Orochimaru nodded slowly as though he wasn't really listening. From a wave of his hand, the summons snakes vanished in a poof. Orochimaru stayed deep in thought until he asked," What needs to be done?"
Orochimaru's POV:
As Kabuto rambled on about everything that needed to be done, Orochimaru pondered what to do. Getting blood for Kiki was the biggest. Before he had stretched the truth a little. Technically he didn't even, he just misdirected Kiki. Orochimaru was not Kiki's blood type. Kiki had in a sense been given blood from Orochimaru. It just wasn't Orochimaru's blood. Kiki had an extremely rare blood type, AB negative. Only about 1 of the world's population had that type. Chakra could be forced out of any one of the priestesses or priests here.
Orochimaru had to admit he did over react when Kiki called out to Kaito-san. He should have saved the punishment for after she survived his branding. He smiled as a thought of causing her immense pain after this ordeal. I have it perfectly planned out. He began fingering a note in his pocket, thinking back to yesterday.
I decided to visit a nearby stream to wash the blood off of myself, since I finished punishing Kiki. When I returned to the rooms, I saw Kaito about to go in. I quickly grabbed his wrist, holding in the killing intent. "Don't go in there."
"Doushite?"
"She's very sick. She can't be disturbed."
"Gomen. Should I get a doctor?"
"Iie. I have one coming."
"Eeto... I'll just put this under the door then."
My gaze was transfixed on the note in his hand. "Iie. Don't do that. It might get lost or not reach her. "
"Oh..."
"Give it to me. I'll give to her when she's up to it."
"Hai..."
He handed it to me and said his good-byes. When he was out of sight, I carefully opened it so I wouldn't make loud noises. The letter went as so:
Kiki-chan-
The time I've spent with you has been wonderful but there comes a time when all good things must end. It's not like you did anything wrong. I've just grown apart from you. I'm sure you'll find another. Someone better suited for you. It's not you, it's me. Please don't cry or get sad. This is what's best.
-Kaito-kun
This would destroy her.
"Orochimaru-sama I'm going to find someone with compatible blood. I'll be back soon."
"Hai-"
"Iie! Don't leave me alone with this bakemono!" Both men turned their heads in surprise just to meet the angry, in pain face of Kiki. "He'll just fuck me up worse. Then you'll need to send for a coffin, unless you plan to use my body from science. But honestly I'd rather be cremated in my village and burried in the shrine's basement."
Suddenly Kiki, clutched her stomach and gasped in pain. "Something wrong Kiki-kun?"
"Piss off."
"Such foul language and rude behavior for someone on the brink of death and whose only hope is me."
"I'll heal on my fuckin' own wounds in my own fuckin' time." She coughed up phlem-covered blood.
"I doubt that's possible. You're horribly injured," Kabuto intervened.
"Tell me how can you still be so cocky after I nearly killed you?"
"Fuck you."
I felt me smirking. "I know how to kill that enthusiasm." I handed her the letter and watched her face drain of all color. She couldn't tear her sight away. Her hands began to tremble as her eyes widened.
In a dangerously low voice Kiki murmured," Get out."
"Your in no positio-"
She looked up with anger-filled eyes and unstable chakra flaring non-stop. "G-E-T O-U-T" Kiki spelled out the command her head now bowed and covered by her hair.Orochimaru pointed a shooing motion towards Kabuto and he left silently. "I wanted you to leave more so than the medic."
"And yet that won't happen."
Tears streaked down her face as she brought her knees to her chin. "I just want to be alone. Please just fuckin' leave! You got what you fuckin' wanted so fuck off!" She was yelling and sobbing now. Orochimaru stared impassively at her."
Kiki's POV:
Why can't he just leave me alone? Why can't he-
Orochimaru walked foward and sat on the bed in front of me. He crossed his legs and continued to stare. I just sat there, unashamed of my nudity, and crying into my knees. He began to play with my hair, but acted as though it was nothing. I began whispering a song to myself, hoping to make me feel better.

My mind suddenly flashed to the people I saw that one day when Kimimaro woke me up.
"How could Satoshi-kun leave? It's not fair! What if h-he doesn't come back?" one of the green-haired cried.
"It's my fault Nii-Nii left. If I wasn't so needy and pathetic he wouldn't have been fed up and left me here alone...But Nii-Nii will come back if I can show him I'm not helpless, Right?" A young blonde girl asked with a broken, desperate voice. Her voice void of emotion 'til she spoke the idea. It became hope filled.
I blinked rapidly, only to find Orochimaru on top of me, holding my blood soaked hands above my head. My neck burned horribly as the raw flesh came into contact with his hair. I squirmed.
"Stop or I'll bash your head in until you're unconscious."
"Go right ahead, you sadistic teme! It never stopped you before."
"Maybe I don't want to. You shouldn't take my pity for granted."
"I don't need your god damned pity!"
"Hmmm... A miko shouldn't take the Lord's name in vain."
"Urusei, teme." Orochimaru got up to lean against the wall. I stared in waiting expectancy. Noticing, he crushed my hope.
"I'm not leaving."
"Why not?"
"As of 5 minutes ago, your now on suicide watch. I guess I'll take the first shift."
"I'm not suicidal!"
"The evidence says otherwise."
I stared at the blood on my fingers. I wasn't sure of a comeback. I didn't want to say this sometimes happened when the headaches and weird flashbacks occurred. The last thing I wanted was Orochimaru asking me questions and prying into a past I couldn't remember. I wasn't sure what I should say period. I tried to think up a lie but came up empty-handed. "Trust me I'm not suicidal. That teme isn't worth my life."
"Does it hurt knowing you went through all that pointless suffering only to have it end up like this?"
"Of course. But still what can you do? It's just a part of life."
"You can use that jutsu and alter your memo-"
"Fuck no. It's my memory. It's crappy as hell but it's mine. I know it hurts but it'll be just as bad dealing with the emptiness erasing the memory will make me feel. Besides it's making me whoever I'll be tomorrow.
Dark chuckling erupted from Orochimaru, followed by that trade mark smirk. "And who exactly will you be tomorrow?"
"A royally pissed-off bitch"
WOO HOO!!! Note how fast the updates are. Praise vacation!!! That song I used was Shinkirou by Loveholic. And on another note the L, G, and S buttons are screwed up so if they don't show. Gomen.
