3 weeks later (Sarah PoV)
I ran as fast as I could to the jail cell that held the one that I'd called "psycho stalker" during my sophomore year of high school. My English Comp I teacher was there as well for ignoring the rules of his job, and a cheerleader was there for prostitution with a severe sexually transmitted disease – Herpes, to be exact. There were also thirty men with syphilis and a woman who was terrified of her upcoming childbirth because she couldn't keep the baby. I laughed at their misfortune, and dragged them all back to Otogakure with me.
I set the thirty men with Syphilis up in a jail cell, just waiting to see how the disease spread and effected them. I then grinned evilly, both females I'd grabbed were about eight and a half to nine months along, and were healthy enough to give birth to the infants now. I forced them into labor, the cheerleader screaming her head off, and the second one overjoyed at the prospect of a new child. These four were idiots in every way.
I willed the blade to go under the replace section, and sucked Josh, the psycho stalker, in to replace Fugaku Uchiha. I rolled my eyes as I waited for the inmate to finally finish giving birth to her son. I sighed before cutting the cord with a knife and sealing her inside the blade to replace Mikoto, Sasuke's mother. As the cheerleader finished giving birth, my Comp I teacher began panicking at long last, just now realizing his mistakes.
"You never respected us as your students," I yelled as I slapped his face so hard he fell down. "So we as Otonin see you as someone who is lower than trash."
"Um," Sasuke's mother tried to cut in, but I ignored her. I almost sealed my teacher inside the blade, but was banning by Orochimaru wanting out.
"I need a replacement," Orochimaru reminded before I groaned in complete frustration.
"That was your replacement," I retorted, and he sighed. "So, I have to wait until I get both you and Kabuto out?"
"Yes, that sounds almost right," Orochimaru grinned. I yanked my teacher by the neck and literally threw him into one of the dirtiest cells I could find, one that still had corpses in all different stages of decomposition everywhere.
"Enjoy your stay," I said roughly before heading back upstairs where the cheerleader was giving birth. I knew Tayuya had a handle on her, so I headed out to find Kabuto and Orochimaru. They would probably be fighting Sasuke and Itachi right now.
"Sarah-sama, wait," Mikoto said quickly, and I turned to her and Fugaku.
"I need you two to come with me," I said firmly. "You're the only ones who can stop your sons from killing the person that I want to capture. Can you help me?"
"You let us out of the blade," Fugaku growled as he crossed his arms. "We don't have much of a choice."
"Good," I smirked before racing to Itachi and Sasuke's location. Madara would have to wait – Kabuto was my target now.
I ducked and dodged past armies and weaved the hand signs for my invisibility jutsu. Fugaku and Mikoto followed in suit by using their Sharingan, and with luck, we made it to the location of their sons within a few days.
"Well, well, if it isn't the snake's mate coming to get his other half back," Kabuto smirked. "And she brought company."
"You know what to do," I ordered the Uchiha couple, who barred Itachi and Sasuke's way.
"Stop," they said in unison as Kabuto hit the ground panting. "She'll finish him off."
"More like separate them," I corrected as I sliced Kabuto with the Totsuka blade. I could feel Orochimaru's excitement as his two halves were reunited at long last and Kabuto was purged of his remains.
"Damn it!" I heard Kabuto yell angrily. "What did you do? I was so close to becoming immortal and all-powerful!"
"Sealed you in the blade," I gasped, leaning down for support. I looked around, not sure of where to go with this, when I saw someone that I trusted enough to become my advisor. Anko's son was now fourteen, and viewed me as an older sister still, so I could use him to replace Orochimaru.
"May I?" I asked him, and he stared at me blankly.
"She's dead," he said emotionlessly. "Momma's dead. Kill me."
"Suit yourself," I smiled gently, slicing him with the blade and weaving the hand signs to replace Orochimaru with him. The boy's frame was sucked into the blade, and a second one came out right in front of the Uchiha clan's eyes, as well as Naruto, who had just gotten there as I sealed Kabuto inside the blade.
The second one began to take shape, and clothes began to be wrapped upon him like snakes, and Kabuto's cloak was removed from the medic and put upon the snake himself. My legs melted once more, my mind and body not registering that he was back permanently in a twenty-six year old body. He stepped forward, his only clothes being the cloak upon him, and gently knelt in front of me, his features still young like within the blade.
"Thank you," he murmured as he caressed the side of my face. He kissed me, and I felt fireworks explode behind my lips just before I felt hot tears running down the sides of my face. He wiped them away with his thumbs as he moved from caressing to cupping my face, and I opened my mouth to let him in. Genjutsu or reality, I didn't know or care anymore. I blinked once, twice, and dispelled any genjutsu in the area. He was real, and had kissed me. Everything became blurry before I felt his arms around me and my own body against his in the enfolding blackness.
Orochi PoV
I watched as Sarah raced and instructed the two Uchiha parents to stop their sons' rampage. I watched and practically jumped up and down like a child when she sealed Kabuto inside the blade. The two souls inside him separated, and I immediately weaved the hand signs to bring the other half back into me. it wasn't necessary, and I almost shouted my triumph to the sky as my blood and chakra raced with such extreme excitement that I hadn't felt since Kabuto had told me of Sarah giving birth to Akuma.
"Damn it!" I heard Kabuto yell angrily. "What did you do? I was so close to becoming immortal and all-powerful!"
"Sealed you in the blade to reunite my two halves," I retorted. I realized now that Sarah was looking at a fourteen year old boy, one that I recognized vaguely as Anko's firstborn son of Kakashi's.
"May I?" she asked him, and he stared at her blankly. I rolled my eyes – there was no point in asking him, he was suicidal since he thought his mother was dead, which she wasn't.
"She's dead," he said emotionlessly. "Momma's dead. Kill me."
"Suit yourself," she smiled gently, slicing him with the blade and weaving the hand signs to replace me with him. The boy's frame was sucked into the blade, and I saw him form next to me by the legs first as my own legs were being sucked out from underneath me.
I began to take shape finally, and I willed Kabuto's clothes from the blade to come with me. I would not make my reappearance naked! His clothes began to be wrapped upon me like snakes, and I half-flinched when I realized that the only thing I'd thought to grab was a cloak. Sarah's legs melted once more, reminding me of the day that we'd first met. I stepped forward, feeling extremely naked, and gently knelt in front of Sarah, her features still frozen in shock. I could tell by the look she was giving me that she didn't care if she'd died and gone to heaven, but was just glad we were together once more.
"Thank you," I murmured gratefully as I caressed the side of her face lovingly. I kissed her to show her that I still loved her more than anything, and I felt fireworks explode behind my lips just before I felt hot tears on Sarah's right cheek. I had been so grateful to her for getting me out of there that I'd almost forgotten that she was broken.
I wiped the wet coolness away with my thumbs as I moved from caressing to cupping her face, and I felt her open her mouth to let me in. She went to dispel a genjutsu, and I put my tongue into a wild dance with hers. I quickly yanked my arms around her as she fell forwards into a faint that I knew must have been from shock, fear, and love. Her body was still as soft and warm as I remembered, and her vague mumbling was, to be honest, amusing as she slept. She was, no doubt, exhausted by her works and efforts in ending this war, but I had to make sure she went unnoticed.
"No one is to know about what has happened," I told them as I lifted her up. "Tell them that Itachi sealed Kabuto inside the blade and transferred it to someone else. I don't care who – just make sure that the Sound ninja stay out of this war and take no credit whatsoever for anything."
"Kabuto helped ignite the war," Naruto growled at me. "I'd say you started it, too, but you didn't attack me for the Kyuubi."
"On that happy note, tell them that Mikoto and Fugaku were let out of the blade by Itachi. Sasuke-kun, tell them that only a blood-relative can let someone out of the blade – it will stop them from trying to hunt for me," I instructed, and all five gasped audibly.
"You want nothing to do with this," Sasuke realized just then. Kami, how thick was that boy? "You want Sarah to remain anonymous. That doesn't make sense – why not let her get the fame she deserves?"
"She wouldn't want it," I told him. "She didn't do it because she wanted the fame or to protect you. The latter did play a small part, but she defeated Kabuto for one reason only: to get me back."
"She really does love you, I can see that now. But my big question is do you love her back?" Naruto said firmly, glaring at me.
"With every fiber of my being, and more than wanting to become immortal, and most definitely more than anything any kekke genkai has to offer me," I told him, which shocked them all.
"Go," Naruto said firmly, and I glanced backwards. "I hate you, but I respect Sarah enough to let you go. She stopped the only person keeping the war going aside from Uchiha Madara, and she deserves to be happy. Treat her right this time – I will be keeping tabs to make sure she's happy."
"Don't bother," I retorted as I lovingly watched her sleep. "She will be as long as we can raise our children in peace and without having to worry about assassins trying to kill us."
"I'll try to erase your criminal record in exchange for her letting us out of the blade," Fugaku nodded. "I can't garuntee anything."
"thank you, Fugaku-kun," I growled as I felt other chakras approaching. "Farewell, Uchiha clan, Naruto-kun. I'm sure we'll meet again someday."
"Get out of here," Naruto spat as I walked away from them calmly. I found a dead Konoha ninja who was about my size – better his clothes covered in dried blood than nothing. I set Sarah down gently and dressed quickly. The man's underwear and pants were clean, but his head had been severed and his lower areas were elevated on top of another ninja's.
"I'm coming home, pet," I whispered as I put the cloak back on and summoned a familiar pokemon that I had spent countless hours training. "Kuchiyose! Osorekyoshi!"
"You called, Orochimaru-sama?" he asked, and I raised my eyebrows. "We can talk in this world, and always were able to communicate in mine. Who is she?"
"My wife," I told him as I stepped onto his back. "I need you to take the both of us to Otogakure in secret with as little detection as possible. Can you do this?"
"But of course!" he grinned and vaulted into the sky when my hands were securely upon his shoulders and blocking Sarah from falling. Stormclouds followed us as we went, I made sure with my fire natured chakra heating up the sky around me.
