Authoress: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters in this fic. Be warned...this chapter is insanely short. I have no clue why I wrote it...just sort of happened.
Sasuke. How Kabuto hated him.
Kabuto wanted to kill him.
Even though the boy was miles away, he was constantly on Orochimaru's mind. Sasuke's name was always on the tip of his tongue.
Kabuto should have killed him.
But Orochimaru wanted Sasuke alive. And who was Kabuto to deny Orochimaru what he wanted? He couldn't have gone through with it. Orochimaru had known that all along.
Sometimes his master was very cruel.
Still, his hate for Sasuke grew and festered. Every day, Orochimaru spoke of the raven-haired Uchiha. Every single day. And it drove Kabuto absolutely insane. It would only get worse when the stupid kid finally decided to come to Otogakure.
"Kabuto, how long do you think it will be until Sasuke comes to me?" Orochimaru asked. His servant gritted his teeth, but was careful not to let his anger show.
"I don't know, sir."
"I think he will make a very nice host, don't you?"
Host?
Kabuto grinned.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama, I really think so." Kabuto turned around to face his master to find that he was gone.
"Let your mind rest easy tonight, Kabuto. Sasuke…will never be you," Orochimaru purred from behind him.
And Kabuto did sleep well that night. The next morning, his pillow was not damp with the bitter tears of his nightmares, as it had been for so many mornings before.
Authoress: Wow…short. Very short. And creepier than the others.
