When 13 year old Shizune gets lost in the forest, a boy named Kabuto Yakushi helps her out, the two bonding over apples. But soon she learns that he died over 100 years ago. But how can a spirit give her a real apple? A KabuShizu oneshot for jenise21.

All Shizune wants to know is who Kabuto really works for. When he visits her after the death of Orochimaru, it seems that now, he may not quite know, either. [Spoilers for recent chapters. ShizuneKabuto. Oneshot.]
