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 again for the reviews I really appreciate them. This chapter I had fun writing. R&R
I don't own Naruto...unfortunately
Chp. 10
"Enjoying the weather as I see?" says another voice
Anko breaks out her temporary euphoria and quickly turns to the voice so see the light glared glasses of Kabuto.
"H-How'd you find me already? I was moving randomly…" she questions with a tone of disappointment.
"It doesn't take me long to learn someone, like I said before Anko. It also helps that I have memorized the entire duct system and the underground trail in this entire area." He says in a cocky voice.
Anko grits her teeth in pure rage. "You four-eyed nerd, who spends their time to do that!?"
"One who is smart enough to learn that eventually prisoners will always try to escape. I will give you credit, miss Anko. You almost completely outsmarted and got away from me. I never faced a kunoichi like you before…" he claps walking towards her. She backs away from his advances.
"Don't try to flatter me! I'm still not going easily" She scowls.
"Well you don't have a choice. You won't make it out there in that condition, I can see the effect I put on you haven't worn off yet."
"You underestimate me!" She takes off into the gargantuan forest with no hesitation. Kabuto smiles and goes to have a seat on a nearby bench in a surprisingly well kept garden (yeah, why not have a garden). He takes the time to enjoy the scenery his self, why not since he's been inside that dark building for almost ever.
A few minutes pass and Anko walks out from behind a tree.
"I think, I made it pass the boundaries by now…" she says
"Oh, really?" Kabuto says waving at Anko with a smile on his face.
Anko nearly jumps out her skin when she sees that she is back where she was. Without saying anything, she frowns at him and runs back into the forest this time in a different path. Kabuto just sighs and walks back into the building. Another moment has passed and he returns with a tray of food and water. He sees Anko, tired and panting on the seat he was sitting at previously.
"Give up?" He says
"…No…I will…eventually get out of here…" she says in short breathes
"Sure, whatever…" he sits next to her. "Water?" He waves the glass in front of her face taunting her.
"I don't want that! You probably tainted it or something…" She says. Kabuto just shrugs and pulls it away from her. She reaches and snatches it out of his hands and chugs it down in three gulps. She eyes the tray of food and snatches it too.
"I thought you said…" He starts.
"Oh gawd, I'm stharfing!" she says with food in her mouth. She frantically shoves a whole toast in her mouth, the then the eggs, and finally the bacon. Her cheeks are full and her face covered with crumbs. She finally swallows all of it in one gulp.
"Um…" Kabuto pulls out a fork. "I had a fork if you wanted it…"
She glares at it feeling insulted. He brings out a napkin and dangles in front of her like a toy mouse to a kitten. "Wanna clean that off…" She snatches it and wipes off her face turning her face away from his.
"Stop trying to be nice to me all of a sudden…"
"I'm sorry, I'll try being a prick to you again seeing how you enjoy that side of me more" He says with obvious sarcasm in his voice.
"I said stop it!"
"But I didn't do anything…"
Anko just sighs calming down.
"Why are you being friendly to me all of a sudden? Aren't you going to punish me for escaping?" she says in a less threatening tone.
"I dunno," he shrugs. "I don't always have to be an asshole. Why should I punish someone who has actually tricked me, I mean a female that has actually tricked me. Unless you want me to punish you, I can think of more than a hundred ways to do so" He jokes.
Anko blushes trying to ignore the last sentence he just said.
"Quit messing with me. I know what you're doing…You're just trying to keep me calm so that you can activate my seal again easier…Well I'm not going to let that happen!" she stands up and faces the forest again.
Kabuto just shakes his head and walks to her.
"You're not leaving out the forest; I can clearly see that you know that too…." He says in a less friendly voice. "Well, Anko…am I right?"
Anko pauses looking out the ground. She perks up and dashes into the forest again. Kabuto sighs, 'Alright that's the last time I'm letting you do that…' He stands and waits for her to return. In about 15 minutes she finally comes back feeling defeated and not saying a word.
"It's booby trapped. The whole forest is trapped with a genjutsu. There is no escaping and there is no entering. Only Orochimaru and I know our way through it. But you knew that already." He walks to her to take her hand. "Come we have to go inside before…"
"NO!!" She swats his hand away and jumps back in a fighting stance.
"I said before I'm not that easy!"
Kabuto finally gets annoyed with he stubbornness. "Anko, give it a rest. I know you want to keep your little pride, and I congratulate you on being the only one who hasn't given that away by now, but we can't keep doing this…"
Anko ignores him and summons her shadow snakes towards him. He takes notice and jumps back away from them. They turn and head for him again. He leaps to the side and runs from them far enough to turn around. He forces his chakra down to his hands to make his scalpels and hits the first snake to come on the back it's head. It falls limp on the ground.
Kabuto dodges the other two and does the same to them. They both fall limp. Anko clicks her tongue and draws them back. She runs towards him while he is distracted and does hands signs. Right when turns around, Anko jumps into the air with two fingers to her mouth and releases a fire ball jutsu. A fairly large fire ball to be exact.
When she feels as if he's been hit with it she stops it and lands on her feet. She sees him charred and falling to the ground. She walks over to him to make sure only to find it turn to a log. 'Substitution, just as I predicted' She braces herself, sure that he will be coming at any different side. She sees him run off into the distance as if trying to hide catching her off guard and she smirks.
"Not good at hiding now are we?" she says silently. She performs another hand seal and starts to sneak towards his location. She can't move she feels her whole body go paralyzed from the ankle up; she looks down towards the ground. Two glowing hands poking out the ground are gripped tightly around her thin ankles.
Still gripping her ankles Kabuto rises out of the ground causing her to fall to her hands and knees. She looks back with shock on her face; she fell for a shadow clone. She turns back with the look of failure written across her face.
"Still want me to punish you? Cause there's about 20 for this particular position…" He jokes. He lets go of her ankle and walks in front of her pulling her face up to his. She looks away.
"Aw don't be like that, Anko. I was kidding. Now come on let's go insi.." Before he can finish, Anko pulls an old kunai out from nowhere and jabs it deep into the base of his shoulder. His blood splatters across her hands and she puts on a sinister smile. He falls back to his rear giving her a shocked look.
"That shut you up!" She said, she was already tired from trying to fight in a weakened state.
"Where'd, when did you get a kunai…?" He said tugging at it; it is jammed in his shoulder pretty deep.
"If you would like to know, I knew the forest was booby trapped so I took the third trip around there to investigate a dead escapee I ran into the second time around. He looked like he had managed to steal some weapons but unfortunately couldn't make it through the forest. I grabbed a kunai since I couldn't hide no more than one in this gown and saved it for you. I knew, either way fighting you or trying to escape wasn't going to work, but I had to at least prove to you that I will not be taken lightly!" She says in a smug fashion licking his blood from her hands.
Kabuto is truly impressed by her actions. She thought out a plan in only a few minutes all just to prove to him that she is not to be joked around with. Such an impressive display of determination, even when she is weakened.
"Impressive…" he says as he finally yanks the old kunai out from his shoulder. His body already starts to automatically heal his wounds without him paying any mind to it. "You completely fooled me, something that people have trouble with…"
"Tsk, whatever…save the compliments, I'm still stuck here." She struggles to her feet. "Guess it's time for me to go back to my 'cage'…" she starts walking back to the building ahead of him.
Kabuto grabs and cleans off the kunai and sticks it in his pouch. He watches her as she continues back to the building. 'Anko, you truly are not to be taken lightly. You are a lot smarter than I ever had thought.' He pulls out an info card he has on her and studies it. 'Truly a remarkable ninja I have failed to take a serious note of…I like that.'
He hurries up to her and they enter the building.
