Blood Is Blood Ch 17
The figure entered the hideout. He walked along the corridors to a door at the end of the hall. He opened it and stopped just inside the door. "Do you have something to tell me?" Asked a voice from the shadows.
"I do my lord." The figure said approaching slowly. He stopped just at the end of a king sized canopy bed. "I did as you asked. There were several occupants. There was a couple of males in a bedroom somewhere. There is a feminine brunette boy and an older brunette male. There were at least four others as well. Someone by the name of Tobi and Zetsu and another couple by the names of Kisame and Itachi." He said watching the curtain move back.
"You must learn more about them. If we are to ever find my cure then we must find him. These people may be what we are looking for. They may have heard of him and maybe we can use them to find him." The voice rasped out. The figure at the end of the bed bowed. "Yes my lord. I will learn all I can." He said and turned to leave.
"Wait, come closer my pet." The voice said tiredly. The figure moved closer and slid up onto the side of the bed next to a frail looking male with long black hair. He reached up and pulled the figure to him frailly. The figure bent and met the weaker male in a soft kiss. The figure pulled back and smiled softly. The ill male smiled back just as softly before the pain took him over.
"I will find him my lord. If it is the last thing that I do, I will find him." He bowed once more and was gone in a flash. The lord moaned in agony. He could only hope his little bed mate would hurry. He closed his eyes and passed into a fake sleep as the pain ebbed away slowly. He basked in the false comfort of the moment. There was no peace or comfort since the illness had taken him.
The figure walked down the hall to the mess room. He walked into a small office off to the side that housed the medical staff. He walked up and jumped onto the table and held out his arm. The Dr looked curiously at him. "Give me something that will make me ill but not kill me. I need something that will wear off in a couple of days but linger long enough for the desired affect." He said.
"I am not so sure that is such-" "Just do it! Don't make me angry. If I lose my patience you will be in more pain then the lord is." He said sorely. "The Dr nodded as he searched his cabinet. He pulled out a needle and a chemical. "This should do the trick. It will make you dizzy and feel sick to your stomach. It will also make you shaky and weak. It will wear off in two to three days." The Dr said fearfully.
He nodded. "Perfect. It is just what I need." He held his arm still as the Dr injected a good dose into his blood stream. He jumped off the table and without a word to the Dr, he left. He made his way out of the hideout and headed for the woods towards the mansion. He only hoped they were a compassionate bunch.
Hidan and Kakuzu made their way back to the mansion after going out to a movie. They had been bored and all they wanted was a little downtime with just the two of them. As they approached the front of the house something caught their attention. A boy of about 20 years of age lay in the forest in the fetal position.
Kakuzu and Hidan rushed to his side taking in his appearance. His eyes were open but he was pale and his silver hair stuck to his face in a fevered perspiration. His glasses lay on the ground next to him as he tried to focus on the two above him. "Hey, can you hear me?" Kakuzu asked.
A nod and then something incoherent came from the boys lips. "What is your name?" Hidan asked. The boy frowned as if he were thinking. "Ka-Ka-Kab-uto" He gasped out. Kakuzu picked him up off the ground and began carrying him to the mansion. "Hidan grab his glasses and come on." Kakuzu said.
Hidan grabbed them and ran to catch up. He was a little sore at Kakuzu for ruining his plans for the rest of the night. He had hoped for some hot sex before taking a really long hot bath and then cuddling together as they went to sleep. Now they had a stray to take care of. They entered the mansion through the kitchen.
Kakuzu carried Kabuto into the sitting room. He laid him on the couch and grabbed a blanket to calm the boy's shakes. Hidan went to get him some water and then went to find Konan. She was the motherly type and would know how to comfort him. He found her and Pein feeding each other chocolate mixed with blood covered strawberries.
"Hidan what are you doing here? We are busy, go away." Konan said. "I would fucking love too, but Kakuzu and I found a sick stray boy in the woods. He is in the sitting room and yours aren't the only fucking plans that got ruined tonight." Hidan said and stormed out of the room. Pein looked at Konan and they both jumped to their feet.
They rushed to the sitting room to see that Hidan had been right. Kakuzu was just taking a blood sample and was pulling the needle free when they entered. Konan could instantly tell he was of the vampiric nature. He didn't stand out the way Itachi, Hidan, or Sasori did. He was more like Kisame and Zetsu's breed of vampire.
He didn't look like he was of a different breed so much. Not the way that Kisame and Zetsu's stood out. This was more of a feeling than a look. Konan stepped over to the boy. He was feverish and shaking badly. "What is his name?" She asked petting the silver hair back away from his face. "Uh, Kabuto I think." Kakuzu said.
"Kabuto? You're going to be okay. We are going to take care of you, okay?" Konan cooed. He nodded slightly and doubled over again as a wave of nausea hit him hard. "Pein get me some blood from the fridge and some crackers. Warm the blood and crush up the crackers in it. It will help his stomach. But not too hot." She said turning back to Kabuto.
Pein rolled his eyes at being ordered around but left anyway. "Make sure you use the thick mugs okay?" She called from the sitting room. "Yes, ma'am. I will do just that." He called back. "Don't be flippant Pein just do it. He needs it now." She said in a motherly way.
She smiled at Kabuto who smiled weakly at her. This was working like a charm. A wave of Nausea took over again and he almost regretted having the Dr inject him. That is until Pein brought out a mug of blood and crackers and just the right temperature too.
