ninalee-chan- Really? Thanks for saying that. Tsunade's story seemed sad...

Trenchcoatgirl-Kyo- Thanks very much!

Looking at the unconscious Uchiha, who was lying on the bed in the center of a room, Kabuto's expression turned tightly grim.

He couldn't help but think that Orochimaru could have the ability to succeed his plan, without the boy. Unfortunately, he was still blinded with obssession for him. What could he do?

Kabuto adjusted his mask a bit. He was still disguised in ANBU form. The other nins would never notice his presence. They're still having problems of their own…with the battle between them and Sound. Gaara's second form has also arisen into this predicament and made it difficult for Konoha.

Reaching within his sleeve, he then drew out a kunai.

If Sound need to succeed...then he have to do this.

"What are you doing?"

Kabuto turned at the sound of a very familiar voice. Kakashi stood by the doorway, his expression somewhat stony and his hand in his pocket.

Since his back was turned, the kunai in Kabuto's hand was hidden from the Jounin's view. He quickly slid it back into his sleeve and turned.

"Nothing really. Is there anything the matter, Kakashi?"

Raising a brow slightly, he replied evenly, "Actually, I'd like to know what happened to all those med-nins that are laying unconscious around you."

Eyes tilted to the side as he vaguely noticed the nins that he had knocked out earlier. Oh...that.

"There's nothing to worry about."

"...Oh really?"

The next thing Kabuto knew, both he and Kakashi fought a bit. There was only a slight agression to this. Nothing more.

But as the Jounin knocked him out, one of the unconscious nins rose and jumped out the window.

As he fell, Kakashi watched him, eyes slightly widened.

Kabuto smirked as he removed his mask.

He had fulfilled his purpose. Now is the time to leave.

Note: Kabuto's purpose is to draw out Kakashi's alert...I think. -shrugs-
