Forsaken

Five

I stared into the village gates of Otogakure; I slowly entered the village expecting to be surrounded at any moment. As people started to take notice of my presence they recoiled: some in anger and some in fear. I ignored them and walked straight to Orochimaru's home where he'd surely be in his lab. I kicked open the door and ninja immediately surrounded me. I held up my hands and looked around at the ninja, Orochimaru approached me from the front and grabbed my chin in his hands. I jerked away and growled.

"I'm here to give up my life. I no longer want to live if someone must die to save me." He laughed.

"I'll gladly take that pretty little life from you my dear. You're the first ninja to ever be successfully revived using that jutsu and I would enjoy poking and prodding every inch of your body to figure out exactly how it has affected you." Orochimaru turned as Kabuto walked out with a dirty scalpel in his hands. I looked up at him and he looked surprised I had even come back to the village.

"What is it you need my lord?" Orochimaru grinned.

"I want you to take our friend here and dissect every little part of her body. I want it done while she is alive and I don't want any pain to be spared do you understand my command?" Kabuto nodded. Kabuto shot out a series of chakra strings from his fingertips and bound my arms to my side and my hands behind my back. He tightened the strings so I couldn't move even an inch and began walking me inside the building. Orochimaru laughed and looked at me evilly as I looked back at him.

Once inside the building Kabuto removed the chakra strings and looked over at me, "damn it Ayame, I gave you that information so you could leave and live a life outside of Otogakure. That meant never returning to this hellhole."

"It was you that left that information in my room?!" Kabuto sighed.

"Yes, and I'm lucky Orochimaru hasn't found out. I know he's suspicious which is why I have to follow this order to kill you." I nodded.

"I want you to, no more innocence needs to die to save me. My father told me the truth. I know he didn't want to fearing this outcome but he had to. I had the right to know." Kabuto pointed to the cold exam table and I hopped up on the table and laid back. It was frightening how calm I was even though I was about to be murdered. I closed my eyes as Kabuto cut off all my clothing except my panties and restrained me to the table.

"Ayame, you can still get away. You and I both know these restraints can't actually hold you if you want to run. Please don't make me do this to you." A few tears escaped my eyes as I looked up at Kabuto's pain expression.

"I'm so sorry Kabuto, I want my life to end to save the life of an innocent. I can't be responsible for the death of someone who doesn't deserve to be killed." Kabuto sighed and closed his eyes. His composure changed and I could tell he was trying to block his emotions. I felt Kabuto hold my hand as he used the other one to make a deep cut down from my collarbone to the tip of my panties. I whimpered and squeezed his hand as I tried to resist making any sounds so I didn't hurt Kabuto more than this already had. I felt liquid fall down onto my hand and saw Kabuto was crying as he pried open my chest and looked at my insides. The pain was tremendous and I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

I looked up at Kabuto as he slowly removed my dead organs from my body and by the time he got to my lungs I could barely breathe. I broke one of the restraints on my right arm and grabbed at Kabuto's arm. I was too weak to open my eyes so I had to rely on my touch alone to find him. I could feel blood was everywhere as Kabuto took my hand. I could feel his tears dropping on my arm as he held onto me.

"I'm so sorry Ayame, I can't bring myself to finish you off. I need you to know that when you were here I cared for all your wounds while you slept, and you were the best little sister I never had. I love you so much and I can't do this." I smiled sadly through my pain and struggled to open my eyes. Kabuto looked as though he'd been crying for days as his eyes were swollen and puffy with hints of irritation.

"It's okay, Kabuto. I love you too so very much and I'm so sorry if I ever made life hard for you. It's time to let me go and I know you will blame yourself forever like you had when you had to experiment on me but it's not your fault. Find Sasori and Hidan. And remember, this was Orochimaru's fault. Not yours."

I could hear him finally break down as I closed my eyes; hoping to finally rest in peace and never hurt anyone else. I knew people would hurt after I had passed, but that comes along with the grieving process and they'll eventually overcome this. I hope.
