Chapter 2: Attack

Tenten's eyes widened as she froze in her spot, unable to move from sudden shock. As Kabuto began to make a move of grabbing the brunette, Kiba pushed her to the side, ignoring the sharp pain in his shoulder, and kicked the white haired man.

Trying to avoid the attack, Kabuto was forced to jump back a few paces giving Tenten enough time to recover and roll out one of her scrolls. Instantly, ten kunai were being sent in Kabuto's direction. The man frowned but didn't budge from his spot. When the kunai pierced through him, his body erupted into a puff of smoke.

"Shadow clone," Tenten murmured in recognition, more to herself than for the benefit of her two teammates.

"Stay alert! He could be anywhere," Shino ordered, scanning the area around him. His monotone tone had changed now. It was more frantic, as if he was worried. A frown had taken over his lips although this was unknown to his teammates as the high collar of his jacket provided the cover for this emotion.

The bug user was not the only one who was feeling uneasy at the moment. His teammates easily felt the tenseness in the air which sent shivers down their spines as they knew that their enemy had the upper hand in this case.

Cautiously, Kiba began his jutsu. "Beast Human Clone," He mumbled inaudibly under his breath and almost immediately, with nothing but a cloud of smoke, Akamaru turned into an exact replica of him.

"Adding a dog clone to your side won't help you," the taunting voice of the white haired man echoed in the empty forest yet he remained unseen.

"That's what you think," Kiba growled, Akamaru barking in agreement.

"Then show me," Kabuto suddenly appeared behind them for the second time. He held a kunai to Kiba's throat. Feeling the cold metal against his skin, the boy swallowed hard, not moving in here that the man might slit his throat at any second. Kiba watched Akamaru, who looked pissed but helpless at the same time, from the corner his eye. He gave him a subtle signal not to attack.

"Put the kunai down," Tenten ordered, now next to Kabuto, holding up her crossbow to his head. "Or I'll shoot. And don't tempt me either, I cause I won't hesitate to shoot your brains."

Chuckling in manor that scared the genin, Kabuto took the kunai off of Kiba's throat. "I know better than to mess with a genin with good aim."

"My aim is not just 'good'," Tenten glared: her crossbow at the ready. "It's perfect!"

"Oh really? That's not what I've seen," Kabuto smirked and before she could stop herself, Tenten had released the bow.

Tenten watched, dismayed, as the arrow pierced through his heart, "No…. I didn't mean…oh my god!" She said weakly, watching the man collapse to ground, blood seeping from his chest and soaking his clothes.

"Don't worry dear, that was just a mere decoy," she spun around to see the speaker. Kabuto was standing behind her, smirking evilly. What's more, he had no chest wound and his shirt and cloak were clean of all blood.

Giving the girl only moments to comprehend what just happened, Kabuto hit a pressure point of the body's chakra, knocking her out. Now it was Tenten's turn to collapse, unconscious.

As the white haired man leaned down to pick the girl up, Kiba and Akamaru rushed forward, tackling him to the ground. "Akamaru, get Tenten!" Kiba ordered as he threw a carefully aimed punch at Kabuto. Doing as he was told, Akamaru lifted the brunette from off the short forest grass and gently laid her on tree branch a little way off so that she wouldn't get in the way of the fight.

"You know you'll get tired of this soon," Kabuto commented as he dodged every one of Kiba's lunges.

"We'll see about that," Kiba gritted his teeth, not letting up. At this point, Akamaru also began to attempt to pummel Kabuto but he too was easily dodged by the white haired man.

"Is that all you got?" Kabuto taunted, raising an eyebrow as he jumped out of their aim and on to a safe position on a tree branch.

"We haven't even gotten started," A voice noted behind him.

Kabuto twisted his body around just in time to block a kunai jabbed at him by Shino. "I was wondering where you went."

Shino said nothing by continued to fight. 'Damn, if only I had been able to get that in him. I need to find another way to get the bugs inside him."

The Konoha's genin began to slow down in his attacks which assured Kabuto that he was getting distracted by his thoughts. Taking this chance, Kabuto aimed a chakra-filled punch at the boy, sending him flying backwards. Shino hit the ground with a thud, his glasses lying nearby as they had been knocked off.

"It's so sad that you cannot even protect your own team," Kabuto mused as he leaped down from the tree branch, landing on the glasses that were lying in the grass, shattering it.

"You're the one who's sad!" Kiba bellowed as he once again rushed at the white haired man, this time with much less force and power.

Kabuto dodged it easily, and chuckled lightly, "Oh the irony." With a quick few kicks, Kiba and Akamaru were down for the count and Kabuto hovered over them, looking completely pleased with his work.

Feeling that he had all the time in the world, Kabuto strolled casually over to the tree that Tenten was laying on, unconscious. With a swift jump, he was standing over her. Roughly picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder, Kabuto smirked triumphantly. "Orochimaru will be pleased." He murmured softly to himself.
