Cure Me

This was a challenge a friend of mine wanted me to do. The challenge was to do an AnkoxKabuto pairing since barely any exist whatsoever. I'm going to try my hardest to make this work so bare with me.

Thank you so much for those who reviewed, I really appreciate it. I really need all the confidence I can get with this. R&R.

I don't own Naruto blah blah

Chp. 6

Anko rises up from a nap when she hears the door open. A woman with red uneven hair, short black shorts, black rimmed glasses, and creamy grey shirt buttoned down only to the navel stands in the doorway. She stands twirling a key ring in one hand and the other hand on her hips.

"Rise and shine girly, let's get going." She says in a rather rude voice.

Anko blinks hard and is shocked to learn she's not the only female in this Hell hole. She does what she's told and gets up and walks out of the room. The other girl sizes Anko up and down as she walks past her. She closes the door behind them and they walk on.

"It's so shocking to see another girl in this place." The girl says. Anko doesn't say anything. "Rude…"

"I'm sorry, I had a bad dream before you woke me up." Anko finally says in a monotone voice.

"It ain't nothing, I get nightmares here all the time, and I'm used to it now."

"You were saying something about being shocked to see another girl here?"

"Oh yeah, there hasn't been many just a few; in fact you're wearing one the girl's clothes right now"

"Oh did she not need it?" The other girl laughs.

"I guess you can say that…one of the sound four. We found her dead body in the woods flattened by fallen trees. The whole forest was leveled. Good riddance though, I couldn't stand her." Anko pauses and looks at the other girl amazed at the cold remark.

"So what's your name?" They reach two large doors with one large lock on it and the girl unlocks it.

"The name's Karin."

Karin leads Anko into the room. It is very bright and open; there is a table directly in the middle. It has straps on it, and in the corner there is a cabinet filled with medicines she couldn't even pronounce. Another corner has tools that looks like it came straight from a torture film. Karin locks the door behind them, and Anko starts to hyperventilate.

She is too focused on the set up of the room to even notice. 'This place, it looks so familiar…' Her eyes start to water. The sense she was feeling was becoming uncomfortable. It felt like she was spinning the more she starts to remember. While she stands there battling her memories from inside, Karin walks slowly up behind her, glasses glaring from the lights and one hand behind her.

Anko starts to flip out when she suddenly turns around finding a needle jammed in her neck. She is taken by surprise when she sees the person she thought she made quick friendship with smiling at her coldly.

"I…I thought…" her sight becomes blurred, images fading and spinning around her. Her legs giving in and she finally blacks out and falls cold on the floor.

"Sorry girly, I'm very faithful to my lord Orochimaru…"

Moments later, Anko finds herself strapped up to the table and in a gown patients wear in the hospital. The straps are tied so tight; that it's hard to breathe. She is also hooked up to heart monitors and another device reading her breathing rate. She looks around sensing that she's not alone in this lab and Karin pops out the corner with a friendly smile.

"Hello!"

"You bitch! How dare you!! You untie me this instant!" Anko screams writhing on the table.

"Oh shut up! They were right, you do have a mouth on you!" Karin snaps back.

"LET ME GO!!"

"Nope! Can't do it, that will make Lord Orochimaru and his beautiful student, Sasuke, upset. I don't want to do that." She meows. Anko lets out a loud pissed grunt. Karin walks close to her face, almost making contact and pushing up her glasses. "We need to see, how that seal you got there is working sweetie" She flicks Anko on the nose and leaps away laughing out the room and slamming the door behind her.

Anko continues struggling hopelessly. 'Again! I fell for it again! I am a stupid waste! Why me? What have I done to deserve this? Why can't I live a normal life? I try to clean my slate from the past but the faster I run away from it, it simply evolves and catches up to me!' As she continues to protest in her mind and tears explode from her eyes. The tears only intensify the brightness of the light reflecting above her. 'Why…?'

Out from her range of sight, is a camera leading to another room. Outside that room Karin meets up with Kabuto, who was leaning on the wall.

"I got her strapped down and ready to go, Kabuto." She says, he nods and they enter the room.

The room had numerous TV screens and a large computer in the corner. On the other side was a life supporting table and device, wires everywhere. This was where Kimimaro spent most his time in the village. Kabuto sits in a rolling chair and rolls up to one of the many screens hooked up to various cameras scattered all over the village. Karin walks up closer behind him.

He pops his fingers and turns them on. He types in the keyboard underneath the screens and the screen in front of him switches to the lab Anko is strapped up in. He pulls up another screen that has her life support reading on it. Both Karin and Kabuto fix their glasses and scoots up closer to see in unison.

"Alright, Anko, let's see how far you've gotten to controlling that seal…"

Kabuto performs the seals required to activate it and focuses it on Anko. In the room where she is, she tries slithering her way out the straps.

"Boy when I get out of these straps that bitch is…" she stops to a sudden intense burning pain on the back of her neck. "Ungh, Oh no, is he…"

The pain intensifies even more, to the point where she can't talk. She starts pushing against the straps trying to bear with the increasing pain. Kabuto focuses harder on her. Karin looks on in amazement.

Anko keeps trying to fight the pain but it's just too much, the seal pulsates and grows purple. The flesh around it starts breaking away. It furthers across her neck, patterns form from the burning branching away from the seal. Kabuto's eyes widen when he sees her slowly go to level one of the cursed seal. Karin face is covered by an amazed smile.

The patterns branching out on her neck start to fade into bloody scars the further they go away from the target point. Anko's breathing intensifies, and starts to grunt in pain louder. Tears flying from her tightly shut eyes. Her heart rate starts to go haywire on the meters.

Kabuto starts looking concerned now. 'Wait what's going on? Why is it affecting her like this?' Karin starts looking at the heart monitor. She notices Kabuto not paying attention to it anymore as he stares hard at the screen. She doesn't tell him that she's reaching danger zone, she doesn't want to see this amazing torture to stop. She continues looking without saying a word.

Anko starts sweating heavily, body glowing in the light. She rocks her head screaming. The scars continue climbing and burning deeper into her flesh. Blood is pouring everywhere, her movements causing it to fly all over the floor. The pain is so severe she manages to break the straps holding her legs down.

"What are you doing!? Stop…MAKE IT STOP!! IT HURTS!!!" She screams out, saliva and blood running down the corners of her mouth. The monitor reaches critical and starts sounding an alarm.

Kabuto's face flies to the scene where the readings were being held and flips out. He quickly stops the activation, but Anko still writhes in pain screaming.

"Karin, you dumb ass! Why didn't you tell me the readings were reaching critical!" he screams.

"Oh like you care. You know you enjoy watching the suffering." She snaps. He ignores her and dashes out the room.

"Ookay…what was that all about…?" she leaves to follow him.

The door where Anko lays slams open. He sees her not fighting anymore but breathing heavily. He quickly walks to her side; she's covered in blood, sweat, and tears. Her eyes were in a daze and out of focus. The seal returns to normal, but not without leaving scars. He unties the remaining straps on her and checks her pulse thinking she would respond. She doesn't respond but there is a faint pulse. He grabs a mini flashlight out from his back pocket and flashes it into her eyes. She responds by moving them but they're still not focused on anything particular, she's still in a daze.

"Anko.." she still doesn't respond. "Anko!" this time he tries snapping his fingers in front of her face.

Karin runs in and stops in the doorway when she sees Kabuto, trying to bring Anko back into consciousness. She looks down feeling regretful.

"Anko snap out of it!"

To be continued...

I know Karin's a bit out of character but it's for the best, I prefer her being a person sick in the head than a raging fan girl like in the manga, lol.
