Okay I have no clue who I am anymore. But I can't fuck this story over until I actually end it, so… let's try.
if you've been
reading, then you know where we are.
if you skipped all the way
to this chapter… well…
hah. Haha. Hahahaha.
"…are
you awake?" Kabuto poked at Xeala's cold face, having done this
over a thousand times in the last hour. What right does Sasuke
have to haul this kid in here… I would like a few more friends
every now and then that Orochimaru didn't feed to that giant snake
buddy of his…
"…hh…" Xeala's mouth opened and
little, and Kabuto got so excited having seen something different
that he jumped out of his chair, the chair screeeeeching across the
floor. To his dismay, she seemed to have only yawned in her sleep.
Kabuto fell back into the chair and started twirling a pencil around,
gazing up at the overhead monitors with their bleeping screens every
so often.
"Orochimaru-sama,
there's something I have to tell you." Sasuke walked into
Orochimaru's main…room… chamber… thing… without
acknowledgement.
Heaven knows what variety of things he may have
been doing, but he looked up,"Yes, Sasuke-kun?"
"…I
brought a friend home to play with." Sasuke said.
"… a
friend, Sasuke? Have you gotten your head into the world of
geishas already?" Orochimaru asked, not comprehending why Sasuke
would have any need for a geisha… or an actual friend, for that
matter. Why is he acting so odd… Oh no… NO MY SASUKE'S
GROWING UP!! MY MID-LIFE CRISIS IS GOING TO BE RIGHT AROUND THE
CORNER FROM THIS OH DEAR OH DEAR WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO!!??
(Okay… he might not have been thinking that… but
maybe in the back of his mind that little teeny tiiiny essence of
humanity he has left has a teeny tiiiny part of it reserved for
paternal thinking, and that teeny tiiiny paternal part of him is
thinking that.
Yea.
That's what it is.)
"No. I
don't have any need for a whore. I mean I brought home a
friend to play with. It's kind of lonely after a few years when I
only see the same people over and over again."
"Oh…kay…
then…" Freeak… OH NO MY SASUKE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!
(I
know what you're thinking.
You're thinking, "RIXXAN IS A
GENIUS!! THIS IS HILARIOUS!"
If you're not… then I say you should have stopped reading around chapter .0001)
"Gh…" Kabuto had fallen asleep on
the metal desk, drooling on the many scattered and dishoveled papers.
(You know you want to see that happen just to laugh at it.)
"Ih…"
"OHMYGOSH SHE SAID SOMETHING!" Kabuto was at the bedside like an overexcited dog in not even a second.
"Ih…tah…chi…"
"…oh
no." Kabuto blocked the image from his mind. She's from
Akatsuki and just said Itachi in her sleep. Ho-boy. Sasuke is not
going to be happy about this. First of all she's got sharingan.
Second of all she's adorable and beautiful. Third she's
super-powerful… and has those large… No! Kabuto, it's been too
long since seeing people, but that gives you no right to become a
closet pervert! Even if temptation is sitting on a bed completely out
cold and vulner-KABUTO I AM TELLING YOU TO STOP THINKING THESE
THINGS. Besides… it's…uh… obvious! Sasuke must find some sort
of fancy in this girl… why else would he keep her alive… yeah
that's completely the reason. Completely! No.Touchie.The.Girl.
What's her name? Good grief, I don't even know the
patient's name. I feel unprofessional.
"HOLY CRAP!" Kabuto spun halfway off his chair as Sasuke walked
into the medical room.
"—to… alright… what the hell just
happened?'
"It's a surprise to see someone a little more
alive than this," Kabuto cocked his head to the side and closed his
eyes, mimicking the girl on the bed, "…hh…" and closed his
mouth.
"She didn't wake up yet?" Sasuke asked, concerned.
"No she di-why do you even care?"
"…it's…
just…" Sasuke stammered, trying to mentally put emotion to
reason.
"…Sasuke…" Kabuto started, and Sasuke shot him a
cold glare.
"How much knock-out medicine have you been pumping
into her, Kabuto!? She should have woken up hours and hours ago!"
"…this much." Kabuto held up his hand, exaggerating the
small length between his thumb and middle finger.
"…she's
still out cold…" Sasuke slowly stepped over toward her torso, and
even closer to her, brushing his fingers through her hair slowly.
"Sasuke… you realize she's been in Akatsuki… and
with—
"Shutup! He took her! He took her right before chuunin
exams!"
"Yo-you know her previously?"
"Yes, of
course! Xeala was in my team! She was always the smartest, she beat
me out a hundred fold! I couldn't keep up with her, and then she
disappeared the day we registered for the chuunin exams! I knew it
was that bastard! Only he, only him, he was the only one who could
have beared to see me suffer after all he's done to me! He killed
everyone in the clan! He slaughtered them all! Then he took my love
away! What cruel person could ever do that to someone?"
"…Sasuke
you just spoke the word love, which pertains to human emotion."
"I loved her… I didn't know it but I did."
"OHKAY
THEN," Kabuto spun around and grabbed a small microphone,
"Orochimaru we have a slight emotional conflict with Sasuke's
hormones in the medical exam rooms," Kabuto whispered quietly, then
returned his attention to Sasuke's pining over the girl. Then it
hit him.
Way
way back two and a half years ago, the mysterious disappearance of
Xeala from Team 7 had puzzled the entire village. Search parties
everywhere, investigations going on day and night, Naruto throwing
fits every few minutes, Shikamaru Nara was a little lazier than
usual, Kiba Inuzuka seemed like a lost dog whose owner was shot
through the face on a walk, Sakura Haruno wasn't a happy bubble of
cherry blossoms, Sasuke wouldn't talk to anyone. Only that one Ino…
whatever her name was seemed normal. And Kakashi said it was
Akatsuki, their first activity for a long time. When Sasuke left
Konoha, it had only affected Naruto even more until he starved for
his lost friends with the hunger of a neglected lion.
"Ho-ly
shit, Sasuke. You are gonna be in so much trouble when Orochimaru
finds out who this is." Kabuto said, shaking his head back and
forth.
"Shut your face, Kabuto, you don't get it." Sasuke
said, now seated on a spinny-stool next to the bed, brushing his hand
across Xeala's face every so often, combing his fingers through her
hair. A few seconds later, (the disgusting and hideous monster that
is) Orochimaru stood in the doorframe.
"What seems to be the
proble—
"He used the word "love," in a speech about me
not getting it," Kabuto said flatly, back turned as he toyed with a
pencil on the desk.
"…Well, Sasuke, what's going on here? Who is tha—Sasuke, look at me when I'm speaking."
Sasuke turned his head to Orochimaru. "Xeala. Konoha.Team 7. Kidnapped by Akatsuki, night of chuunin exam entries."
So this is the one. "That's quite interesting, tell me, Sasuke, what do you plan on doing now that you've incarcerated this young lady?"
"I don't know."
"That's a definite plan…" Kabuto spat under his breath, and Sasuke shot laserbeams at him with his eyes. Orochimaru walked out of the room, not caring now, and completely misinterpreting Sasuke's display of emotion as one that would be easily shattered.
"Well, Sasuke, I'm going to sleep." Kabuto shot out of his chair and powered across the room like a locomotive, then left Sasuke alone with a half-dead teenage girl.
Oh damn. haha woo. Alrighty. I have a new plot to
break away with, and it will be amazing!
Sasuke's
in l-o-v-e luv.
