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.

Edit: I edited this chapter slightly for a small reason I don't want to give away yet

Thank you so much dreamspirit666 and SukoXX for reviewing me, 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. 7

"Kabuto…." Karin starts softly.

"Go get a towel and wet it with cold water or something" he shouts at her.

Karin does as she is told and walks quickly over to the sink. She grabs a white clean towel and runs it under the cold water. She brings it over to Kabuto not saying a word. He snatches it from her and runs it across Anko's face. In that instant, Anko responds with a loud gurgling cough. She continues coughing; blood and saliva flying everywhere, even on both Karin and Kabuto's glasses and face. Neither one noticed, even if they did they were used to it, being in a twisted place like this. He sighs some relief, satisfied with her response.

"I'm sorry…" she whispers. Kabuto hears her faint, shaky voice. He grabs his composer and in a cocky fashion pushes up his glasses that have fallen far on his nose.

"Eh, whatever, we need to…"

"I'm sorry sensei, I failed you again. I won't do it again…in fact, I'll clean up the mess my self!" she says as if she was still a child and makes an attempt to move her lifeless arms to "clean" but it failed. Kabuto sees this and shock forms on his face. Karin sees this as well. She has temporarily relapsed into her child state.

"What happened? What's wrong with her?" Karin asks, very confused. Kabuto doesn't respond and lowers his head. He casually places his hands on both of her arms and begins healing the severed nerves.

"What are you doing!? You know Lord Orochimaru didn't give you orders to…" she stops when a powerful a slap, from the back of his hand, goes across her face. She stands away, holding where he slapped her.

He finishes healing the nerves in her arms and continues looking away. She moves her head around and continues saying things she's said when she was little. He sighs and looks at her again as if he has mentally made up his mind about something. He places his glowing hands this time on her chest, moving upwards. He heals each little scar he can find, and wiping away blood and sweat with the towel along the way.

"You're going to pass out healing her like that. You know your chakra level is not that high" Karin inserts, this time not as loud. He ignores her and continues. He makes it to her face and around her cheek healing the scars there. He starts panting as his energy runs low. He moves up to her forehead until his chakra is gone from his hand; he moves the hair over her face away. 'There.' He turns to Karin with a dizzy look in his eyes.

"I think I've lost my mind…" and passes out onto the floor.

Karin darts over to his side and holds him in her arms. 'You idiot! If the lord ever finds out what you did we're all going to be in an ass load of trouble!' Elsewhere, in the viewing lab that they were in earlier, someone stands there for a good minute and turns the monitors off.

Kabuto wakes up in his room. Disoriented he thrashes about trying to figure out where he is. When gets up to stand his feet steps on something hard and it apparently made a shriek. He jumps away to see what it was.

"You're finally awake…"

"Karin!? You know I don't like people in my room, especially sleeping at the foot of my bed!" He yells. Karin just sits up and yawns.

"Well sorry! But if it wasn't for me, we all would have felt the wrath of Orochimaru!" She huffs. Kabuto just remembered.

"Where's…."

"Anko? She's in her prison room. I must say, your performance last night was extreme!" She adds. He was just about to leave when he hears this. He quickly turns around with a worried look on his face.

"Performance?" he walks towards her and stares directly in her face "Karin what did I do?" he quickly asks her.

"You completely healed her, used every ounce of your chakra. It was so sweet I almost cried and stuff. " She blushes giving dreamy eyes. He frowns.

"Quit telling another one of your girl tall tales, Karin. Now tell the truth!"

"I am!! How can you forget something like that?!" She stands up with her hands on her hips frowning fixing her glasses. 'Oh my god she's telling the truth…' Kabuto's face grows pale and he darts out his room leaving Karin behind.

"Hey, wait a minute!" she jumps when a ghostly hand grabs her shoulder. She spins around and her eyes turn into pools of fear.

"Good morning Karin. What's with the look of fear? Is there something wrong?"

Kabuto stomps down the hallway towards Anko's room. 'She has to be making this up! I think she's been messing around with the medicine again. There is no way I would risk myself going against Orochimaru's orders like that! She's crazy!'

He reaches her room and unlocks it and steps in more careful

then the last time. Anko, to his satisfaction, is still in her room but instead of sleeping in her bed, she is sitting in a corner, hugging her knees that were brought up to her chest. Her eyes are very baggy; she hasn't slept through the night. Kabuto's face fell once he realizes she has use of her arms again; he did heal her. Ignoring that knowledge, he walks over to her smugly.

"Alright Miss Mitarashi, get up from the floor. You're going to get sick and we don't need that to happen, right?" he waits for a respond. She says nothing and stares at him. He squats down and attempts to grab her hand. "Come on Anko, do we have to go through this aga…." She punches him square in the jaw sending his head side ways.

"Get away from me…" she whispers staring ice shards at him, her eyes are still watery and puffy. His face goes from smiling to no expression. He turns and reaches for her arm again. She swings again and he dodges it and grabs it.

"NO, I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" She swings her other arm not even trying and he grabs that one too. He can tell her arms are still very, very weak from being severed from the inside for so long.

"NO! NO!!" She thrashes about crying. He keeps his grip, this time he holds both of her wrists with one hand. She still continues to fight him swearing and spitting him in the face. He doesn't flinch; he continues to hold her wrists, his face in remorse but fixed on hers, she starts to look pitiful in his eyes. Usually this wouldn't bother him but the way she was freaking out it was truly a pitiful mess.

"I hate you! I hate him! I hate her and that traitor Sasuke! You all can go to fucking HELL! Why don't you just kill me and get it over with! I can't stand living anymore, I want to die! Just slit my throat or break my neck like you threatened. JUST DO IT YOU FUCK'N PRICK!" she continues struggling.

"Anko, you're being rude again…", he focuses on her, as he starts to remember what happened last night when he activated her seal.

"FUCK YOU…" her voice was muffled; he placed his free hand over her mouth with some force. She tries pulling away. He kept his hand on her the whole time not letting go till she calms down. She kicks and knees him on his side continuously, but he doesn't let go. She slowly stops, and tears roll down her cheek. Her tense body finally relaxes, as she gives up. When he senses her relaxed he pulls away. Her lazy eyes look up to his innocently like a sad little puppy.

"Now…tell me everything. Everything that has happened between you and Orochimaru…I want to know why the mere mention of his name is causing you to flip out…" she looks up at him like a lost child and starts.

She tells him everything, every cold moment and how she wanted to be a strong Shinobi like him. How he fooled her by being kind to her even after he scolded her from doing something wrong. Even to the moment she has gotten the cursed seal and was left in a dark room writhing in pain screaming for the pain to go away to no one around. She tells him how she tries to control it to impress him but all he did was walk away telling her she lacked any kind of hate. Anko tries to continue through tears and a weakened voice, but breaks down sobbing hysterically.

"He lied to me! He told me I was his best student and that I had potential. Then I saw them, the bodies, experimented souls. I ignored it and didn't care, I wanted be stronger. I wanted to grow up…with him…forever…" she forces out.

Kabuto lets go of her wrists and she covers her face trying to wipe away her tears. He doesn't know what to say. He has had people burst out in tears in front of him before with out it even bothering him, like the great Tsunade, but for some reason seeing her cry out like this is actually starting to get to him. It's making him feel a little bit sympathetic, something he never wanted to feel. To him it's a sign of weakness and he certainly doesn't want to be considered weak.

While he continues thinking to his self, his hand starts brushing through her hair. Anko stops sobbing once she feels his hand. She looks up confused like a child. The most innocent looks he has seen, it was so pathetic. It's driving him nuts, he cannot have these feelings show and he has to stop her crying now.

"Is that all?" He just blatantly says, trying to hide any emotion she's caused him to have. Anko's face is even more shocked. His words sounded so nonchalant.

"You really are pathetic…" he continues.

"I just told you my hurtful pasts…how can you just…" she softly says feeling hurt.

"I know…" he whispers to her, smiling.

"Then why did you just say that?" He places a finger over her mouth to stop her protesting.

"I'm going to stop your crying…"
