The Lost Souls

Part 2, Chapter Eleven, Don't take me for a fool

Kabuto sat on the ground covered in Chakra strings, his body twitched occasionally, his glasses were dangling off his face, broken. Blood was trailing from his mouth and kunai stuck out of his body. Senbon embedded pressure points and Chakra channels, his skin was disgorged from the fire as his hair was black and burnt off. He struggled to lift his head, when he did he was meant with the sight of the pink haired girl who had tricked him.

"Y-Yo-u... HAH-chhhh*cough* AHAHA... ha... Ha... haaa..." He dragged out and Sakura looked at him with disinterest.

"Where is Oruchimaru... " She demanded in a silky tone that almost sound comforting, or sympathetic.

"W-Wh-y wo...uld I-I tell... A... Bitch, ... Like y-yoo-u.." He panted out in between long inhales of air.

"Because you desperately cling to the life you have, because you believe there is a chance of survival..." She said and leaned against a upturned earth plate, her voice almost in a mocking seductive tone.

"Not a single Weapon hit a fatal spot, your a medical ninja you know this, they all block your Chakra channels and paralyze you, the only thing you would die here from would be blood lose..." She answered her eyes singing a song of their own as her voice kept to a monotone, her face remained impassive.

"Back to the questions, I'll give you five questions, and five minutes to answer them, if you don't answer them you won't be dying from blood lose, you'll be dying because I took a kunai and ran it through your thick skull." She threatened her voice taking menace for the first time.

"Where is Oruchimaru." She demanded her tone in a sickly sweet innocent way.

"..." He looked up and twitched, but remained silent, she gave him thirty more seconds before she sent chakra vibrating through the chakra strings. He screamed out as his body trembled in pain.

"O-O-Oru-chimar-u-u... Is... Is... In Sasuke Uchiha's b-body..." He gave a small smile, before he screeched in pain, she sent jolts of electricity through his body.

"Clever." She hissed out, as her side throbbed. "If you haven't noticed I'm impatient so I suggest you answer or I won't even give you a shot at the other five questions." She snapped as she sent jolts of electricity through him.

As she did so she felt something connect, she saw a silver cord it was in like thread, but it was enough, she followed it and when she saw where it lead to she sent a small source of her chakra to the opening, she found herself pulling information out of Kabuto.

She saw images, locations, maps, Oruchimaru as Sasuke, and the Akatsuki. She quickly pulled at the information and transferred it into her own mind. She felt her side ache in pain and she leaned further against the uplifted goround for support, her hand clutched the grass tightly. Finally she received all the useful information and she adverted her eyes from a screaming Kabuto's eyes.

"W-What Did YOU DO! Y-Y-You were in my... Mind! GET OUT *cough* OF MY MIND!" He screamed and coughed up more blood.

"Y-y-you-u... Will... P-pa-y..." He coughed out and instantly she felt overwhelming power sources surrounding them.

The cursed people that had been released, we're all in their curse mark forms and were surrounding them, worst of all they were under Kabuto's command. She looked at the surprised team Hebi, and the slowly rising Kabuto, she noticed his legs were healing themselves.

"M-My turn... To.. Question..." Kabuto said as he started to raise with the help of one cursed man. "What ..are you doing... Gathering... Sasuke's old... Useless team... Sakura?" Kabuto questioned and she gave him a smirk even though she felt like she was about to pass out from depleted Chakra and Exhaustion.

"You should know how this works Kabuto... You may question me all you want, but I won't answer a single question, you may retort to all the violence you want, but I won't lose a fight here... You can heal yourself but your in no condition to fight, I can keep going..." She said and gave him a smile even though she knew she was lying, Sasuke felt that she was lying as well, team Hebi wasn't sure but they didn't think she could do what she was saying.

"Attack ...them, kill ..them!" Kabuto yelled in fury as one supported him, as his body started to heal itself.

She felt the ground shake as the Curse Marked people ran at her and Her current team, she closed her eyes, she felt everything settle, she couldn't move, she felt fear creep on her skin and in her bones but then she felt her stomach flip, she felt a need to help the cursed and rejected.

She took a deep breath and went with her instincts. "Sakura move!" Sasuke yelled and last minute grabbed her as a fist came down in the spot she waslasts standing. "What the hell are you doing!" Sasuke growled and looked into her eyes, but they were blank, he was fearful she was gone for a moment, that her fire was gone.

She blinked and he saw that her eyes glowed brighter than ever, a real glow, her hair was lifting around her as white Chakra pulsed from her feet to ten feet above her. Sasuke stepped back, and watched as she spoke in a delicate voice.

"Stop." She said one word her bright green eyes shinning, and capturing everyone's attention, while the white power surrounded her and expanded, as she spoke a wave of the Chakra slammed over the Cursed people and instantly they stopped. She moved her hand up, and the people all looked at her.

She took a weird looking weapon, that was a stele and drew a mark on the palm of her hand, it was red cutting into her skin, but turned black as it was finished, she turned it towards the majority of the cursed men infront of her, she pointed her hand at them and in a blast of white light it hit them, she rotated in a circle, shooting the white power at them. Sasuke dunked as did team Hebi, Kabuto barley got out of the way.

When the blinding light was done and everyone could see again, they saw Sakura on the ground grabbing her side, her arm dripping blood, and she was bitting her lip, her head was spinning and she felt like she might throw up, she looked up to see that all the people who had been cursed were returned to normal, she noticed one that was close to her, his curse mark was gone fully.

Everyone who had been hit was knocked out, in the puddle below her she saw her eyes they were glowing, she saw them slowly switch back to normal, and a new pain took over her body, the numbing stopped.

"S-Sorry to cut the R-Reunion s-sshort but I mus-t be o-on my w-way, we w-wi-Ill meet again Sakura Haruno." Kabuto said between coughs before he moved his hands through three signs and disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Sakura vaguely heard what he said, before she lost conscious. While she slept she organized the new information she obtained. Oruchimaru wouldn't know what hit him, and Kabuto wouldn't have time to evade anything this time.
