Hot 'N' Dangerous

Chapter 35: The Spy and an Old Habit

Out stepped Kabuto from behind the door, "We all stood out too much," he shook his head as he approached.

I slid my blade halfway out of its sheath, Liz followed suit, "We were all unfortunate enough to catch the eye of Orochimaru," he made a clucking sound with his tongue.

"What do you want, Kabuto? This is a private hospital room, no visitors," I said, backing up.

He laughed, "Who's stopping me? Why don't you look outside and see just how effective your Anbu were," he said, pulling the door ajar.

The three members of the Anbu team that were sent to protect us lay lifeless on the floor.

"What? How? Who are you?" I demanded brandishing my sword in his face.

"No one too important," he smiled, "Now, you three must come with me, or die," he said as lightly as he could.

I shook my head, "I knew there was something weird about you."

Kabuto laughed, "But it's a good thing you guys kept your mouths shut or my cover would've been blown."

Liz finally spoke up and when she did, she exploded, literally, "You damn arse! You back-stabbing jerk! I thought that I was being paranoid you damn bastard! Go back to whichever hell hole you came from, you wild African ass!" she screamed, her eyes popping.

"What's African?" he looked at her curiously.

Liz stomped her feet angrily, "Never you mind, you stupid, ugly, homeless, bum-faced, coward!" she continued to scream at him.

Curses came pouring out of her mouth like a waterfall, each one more rude and harsh than the last. She leaped at Kabuto, her arm flailing her sword dangerously. I backed up into Sasuke's bed and prepared to back Liz up. She was immensely angry and was slashing at Kabuto like it was the end of the world. Even blinded by anger, her aim was impossibly accurate and she managed to put two wounds in Kabuto, a long one on his arm and a shallower one on his chest.

"Ugh!" he grunted, "You're so annoying!" he said and threw several shurikens at her.

Liz managed to dodge them but they were now zooming towards Sasuke and I. I flipped my broadsword at the missiles and blocked them, but I had missed one and it was set on course for Sasuke's head. I bent backwards and managed to catch the shuriken in my mouth.

I spat it out, "We'll show you just how annoying we are," I grunted and lashed out at him with my broadsword.

Liz launched into an attack right beside me, her rapier gleaming. We double teamed him but even if we had the advantage of numbers, we could not beat his skill. I put up a good fight but was eventually thrown back against the wall, mere inches from Sasuke's bed. I coughed out blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Vira!" Liz cried but returned her attention back to Kabuto.

I pushed myself back up to my feet and charged again. The second time around, he threw Liz back but she had landed on the chair and crushed it. He didn't seem capable of fending both of us off at one time, but Liz was still tired from her battle.

His kunai came down on me but I was able to bring up my sword in time to hold it up. He bared his teeth at me angrily but I didn't give in. Liz jabbed at him again with her blade and finally managed to impale a few inches of his stomach in it.

"GRRAA!" he shouted angrily and threw the both of us back into Sasuke's bed with a massive wave of strength.

"Ugh!" I spat more blood out and Liz vomited blood.

He pulled Liz's blade out of his stomach and threw it aside. I couldn't pick myself back up and neither could Liz, he laughed madly and made his way towards us with a bloody kunai in his hand. He pressed his kunai into Liz's throat.
