Time: Unknown. You open your eyes slowly as you start to wake up to reality. You're sitting in a chair in a dim room, with your hands tied behind your back. There's only one light, but the bulb doesn't work efficiently and keeps flickering. You try to open your mouth to cry for help but you can't. There's something keeping your mouth closed. All you can hear is faint music.
There's a wolf at your door
There's a hound at your heels
There's a snake in your bed
Tell me, how does it feel?

??: "Look who's up. I didn't think that you'd be out for that long. I only gave you a little general anesthesia. About 20mg which really isn't that much. Nothing too serious whatsoever."

You try to talk but only mumbling comes out.

??: "I'm sorry, but I can't hear you. You're mumbling."

The being chuckles to themself and takes the rag out of your mouth.

YN: "Who are you and what do you want?"

??: "My name is Kabuto Yakushi and I don't want anything personally. I'm a medical-nin originally from Konohagakure but I am now residing in Otogakure, where you are now. I work under the legendary Sannin, the snake lord Orochimaru. I-"

YN: "Are you the people who placed a snake in my room with a not-so-hidden camera on it?"

K: "Oh it wasn't a camera. Don't worry, we weren't peeping on you, nor would we want to."

Kabuto could tell you took offense to this.

K: "Oh don't get me wrong, you are a very beautiful young lady, even though you are older than me by a few years. Our goal is not to make you uncomfortable. That camera looking device was a tracker."

YN: "Oh yeah... you definitely don't want to make me uncomfortable at all. Like a tracker is that much better than a camera."

K: "I do apologize, YN."

YN: "You said your name was Kabuto, correct? Why does that sound so familiar? Are you affiliated with anyone else besides... Orochimaru?"

K: "Minorly affiliated with the Akatsuki under Sasori, but I'll break those ties soon enough."

That's right! Sasori told us about his underling puppet thingies or whatever he calls them. Damn it... I guess I should've listened after all instead of tuning out. My bad...

YN: "So, how did you find me anyway?"

K: "I'm assuming you've heard of tracker dogs before. We used snakes in the same sense. Of course after you killed the one and the signal went dead, we sent one more to the location to mark you. Th-"

YN: "Oh so that's why I got bit... thanks so much... it still hurts ya know..."

K: "I'm afraid that idea was not mine. To have them bite you anyway. The tracker snake was because we have plenty of those but to have them mark you in that way? Not my idea. It was Lord Orochimaru's."

YN: "Did Orochimaru ever tell you about his time in the Akatsuki?"

K: "Not in extreme depth, why?"

YN: "Did he ever tell you that we were like best friends? We were extremely close."

From Kabuto's expression, you can tell that Maru told him next to nothing about you.

YN: "Yep. He was the one I went to for advice, assistance, hell... we were even mission partners. He would never hurt me... I even got the feeling that he might've even liked me as more than a friend. I miss him, a lot actually. I have for the past year since he left."

Kabuto is speechless at this point.

K: "I-I never imagined... I'm the Lord's right hand man but... he's never opened up to me."

YN: "I guess I'm just special then. So... when can I see him?"

Just then, a silhouette comes around the corner.
