"Take these, Ninja Info Pills." Kabuto thrust a sheak white bottle of pills at Pain.

Pain ducked under them. "Get your pills away from me Kabuto, who made you head of the psych ward?"

Kabuto laughed a little, then a lot, then he let it roar out, the noise consumed Pain's ears, like a jet engine, but worse, because it was Kabuto. "Didn't you look at the name, when you came in? This is Orochimaru's Hospital Lair!"

"Seriously, who let's Orochimaru, run his own hospital?"

"Let me pull that up for you on my..." Kabuto bent over, lifting the seal off a box. "Ninja info cards."

Pain felt gastric pressure in his abdomen, any second, his stomach would give. "That's sick, I'd rather deal with the butter."

Kabuto narrowed his eyes. "How about my...Butter Info Cards?"

Pain charged to a nearby bathroom, nearly losing traction on the wet floor in front of it, he steadied himself on the wall. When he reached the stall, the vomit welled up in his throat, but he didn't throw up. He couldn't, as directly in front of him, was a toilet, shaped like Orochimaru's face. "These are, the grossest people, I've ever met."

The toilet didn't take his attention for long, to his left, rested a glass door, yet he couldn't see inside. Pain pondered the logistics of stepping through a door in a bathroom stall. Slowly, he gripped the chilly metal handle. "It's gotta be better than Snakeman and Dodo."

Pushing down on the handle, he forced the door open, light assaulted his eyes, a greeting, came from in front of him. "Welcome to Hot Topic, how may I help you?"

Time stopped, Pain's heart nearly beat out of his chest. "No way." He eyed down all the, oh so, familiar shelves. "That's not possible."

Kidomaru stood behind the counter, twittling his several thumbs. "Excuse me, sir, could I interest you in any of my sticky spider goo?"

Pain showed his palm to Kidomaru. "I need a moment."

Kidomaru seemingly misunderstood what Pain meant, soon, the gooey sweet smell, of Kidomaru's pocket twix, caked the front of Pain's face.

"EEUUUGH," screamed Pain, as the delicious nectar made its way into his eyes. "Oh my God, that's like, not what I meant!"

"Sorry, I'm new here." Kidomaru looked away, focusing on anything and everything, besides Pain.

"There's something wrong here, Itachi was right. There shouldn't be a Hot Topic, in a bathroom, run by a freak Marvel reject."

Kidomaru's eyes puffed out, he put his face in his palms, and started sobbing so loudly, that he sprayed the entire room in spider goo.

Pain scraped the goo off his robe. "I gotta find Itachi." He tried to lift his foot off the carpet, but struggled, as the white thread glued it to the floor. "First a shower, then Itachi."

Once Pain managed to free himself, he sprinted past Kabuto, and down every floor of the hospital. Knocking Konohamaru out the fourth story window, onto a bed of conveniently placed nails. When he returned home, he found that his water had been shut off, he had no choice, but to wash himself off at the local lake. Kisame's favorite hangout...
