Chapter Twenty-Six: Blood Vow
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!
"Sakura." He smirked.
"Kabuto!" She spat, shielding her friends defensively with her arms.
"Sakura..." The medic nin trailed off warningly, "I suggest you come...quietly."
"I'll make you a deal, Kabuto. I'll go quietly if you promise not to hurt them." She replied with a curt motion to the group behind her.
"Done." He shrugged.
"You're not getting off that easy. I want a blood-vow."
He glared at her, grinding his teeth slightly as he produced a kunai, sliced open his finger, and smeared it into a symbol. Forming the seal for the tiger, he nodded. It was done and he was bound to his word.
"And now I want the same from you."
"Sorry, Yakushi, I don't do blood vows." She smirked.
Cursing her and himself for not demanding one of her sooner, he hauled her up and out of the cell viciously.
"We're here." Kakashi stated as they slid to halt on the plateau overlooking the Land of Rice Patties,"Move out for recon and report back in one hour. Scatter!"
Naruto bolted left while Sai went right and Kakashi swung himself into the village directly ahead of them.
"You made a big mistake, Haruno." Kabuto told her as he flung her into a wall.
Sakura fell back, choking on the blood now rushing up from the lacerations in her back and stomach. But when she looked up, she was smirking.
Snarling, Kabuto dragged her up and back-handed her.
She actually laughed.
"What the fuck is the matter with you!" He demanded.
"Nothing compared to the problems you have." She replied.
"I will make you pay, Haruno!" He yelled.
Sakura continued to gaze at him with sheer defiance. She was kunoichi--pain was her pleasure.
