Chapter X: Love & Magic

As time passes, Sasuke watched as Sakura keeps on grinding and mixing those leaves with some chemicals Kabuto had asked her to do ao. She told them about the idendities of Konoha, what she discovered this day, nothing significant, really, like Tenten was now in charge of taking pictures of Konoha and that the others were getting suspicous that Sasuke had already stepped foot at the Leaf.

Sakura would often look at Kabuto with disgust. She was surprised how he turned out to be so desperate, from the old medic he was he let himself be consumed by the serpents. He had been so patient in scanning the ancient book of which Sakura brought with her, and Sakura was so curious what his life must have been.

Taka was gone, Sasuke already climbed upstairs, which leaves Kabuto and Sakura in pure silence, only except of the green goos and boiling liquors that were stored into the wooden cabinets. When Kabuto asked her to grab one of the green-colored flasks, she saw tons of names scribbled just behind all the containers. Must be the Akatsuki, she thought, but there were more than she could count. She glanced back if Kabuto was looking, and when she turned, there was a mysterious box left untouched and nestled with cobwebs. When she opened it, there were scrolls and tiny papers—kind of the size of the mail she'd often recieve.

Dear Usui-kun,

I'm sorry for your loss. Remember this face, and when you do—I shall surrender myself to you in the afterlife.

Dear Yagami-kun,

You were too stubborn to give me the information I needed. And as for your reward, I'll just have to spare your daughter life so she could spend her entire life in wretched misery and never again his father would sin again.

Dear Misaki-san,

Maybe you shouldn't have interfered when I killed that old lady. Or else you could be having tea with your wife.

"Sakura??" Kabuto called, in an impatient sound that she'd almost drop the box. "Coming," She said, placing the box where it was. There were so many papers and some of them were even torn, one that involved the name Rin, it says...

Dear Rin,

My love—my everything, I'm sorry Kakashi did this to you. For now I won't be doing him any harm for your sake, but trust me when I tell you this... I will see you, and until we meet again.

Sakura thought this was the perfect opportunity to hold the answers to her prayers.

"So," She said handling him the green liquor. "I don't know about you, Kabuto, can I ask you a question? She asked, soft as she could.

Being a mischievous and creepy person he was, Kabuto didn't bother to look up. He doesn't seem to do her any harm. "Of course," He smirked, sounding like Orochimaru.

"Why ask me to come here when you can do this by yourself?"

"Because I wasn't even the one who thought of inviting you here," He said humorously.

Kabuto looked bewildered. "If I would, you would have figured it out any time now,"

"You're quite young for a villain."
