Character: Kabuto

Prompt: Soul


Scalpels and Souls

"What is a soul exactly?" Kabuto muses, picking up a rag and whipping the blade of his scalpel. The white cloth comes away scarlet. Kabuto sets it casually back onto his steel tray as if the sight of it isn't disturbing in the least. "Certainly it exists. Orochimaru's state has convinced me of that much, because without a soul how could one move from body to body? But where does one find a soul? Is it a tangible thing? Can it be cut from someone?" He sighs. "What do you think?"

The man tied down to the examination table screams.
