The Bat Sage (Orochimaru X Reader)

Chapter XVIII: Returning To His World

You've appeared in hideout. Of course you've lost your balance and fell on the stone floor, what gave you more damage than you already had.

— Karin! — You've called out weakly, then went quiet to hear footsteps. Nothing. Hideout was dead quiet, They've probably already left it. Here you were, lying in a pool of your own blood, slowly bleeding and dying shamefully. You've tried to summon a bat, but it was no use, in this weakened condition.

— [Y/N]–san!!!

— Karin?

— We were leaving hideout when I felt your weak chakra, it was getting even more weak every minute. What happened? Are you injured? Haven't you thought about wrapping something around wound? — She started healing you.

— It's a long story... I had nothing to wrap around it... I was about to start thinking about using m clothes...

–— Where's Orochimaru–sama?

— I hope he'll be back... soon.

— What happened? — She asked again.

— Some people were after my portal, that's all.

— Where is it?

— Your master has it...

— I guess it's safe, then.

— [Y/N]! — You've heard two worried voices at the same time, as the portal opened and Orochimaru and [YFM] stepped out.

— I'm fine, I'm fine. — You've repeated, shooing them away. You didn't really feel like listening to all this noise.

— What do you mean you're fine, here's blood everywhere! — [YFM] argued.

— Who's that? — Asked Karin.

— I said I'm fine, I had exit gunshot wound on the leg but Karin already helped me so I'm fine. This is my [FM].

— Just what the hell happened? He appeared next to me an dragged me here without any explanation, just said that staying at our home is dangerous and he had to hurry. He didn't even let me pack my stuff, how rude. What is this place?

— This place is out of our world. It's one of his hideouts.

— I never wanted to be in cartoon thing!

— Don't be stupid, I miss our world too sometimes but hey, this one is better, at least you can be immortal and forever young in this world. Cool, isn't it?

— I guess so.

— I'll go back, I need to take care of my colleague, — Orochimaru mumbled.

— I'll come with you! I feel much better.

— No. Stay here. I'll leave notebook here, in case something unexpected happens. Write this address in it after six hours, so I can enter the portal. Do not come after me and don't do anything stupid. — He wrote something in the scroll and put it down.

— Let us come too, if it's that dangerous, — Said Jugo, who just stepped in the hideout along with Suigetsu.

— Hey! Speak for yourself, — Suigetsu groaned.

— No, you all will stay and take care of [Y/N], I think I can handle it, I'm just being careful, that's all.

— Wait a minute, wouldn't it be better if you'll take Jugo with you? Two are better than one, besides we can't do anything if his mood swings start. — You argued.

— Fine. — He said, disappearing along with Jugo.

— Hey! — You could hear faint scream of Suigetsu from the other side, as Karin pushed him into the portal.

— Karin why can't you beha... — Orochimaru's voice was the last thing you've heard before the portal closed.

— This way they're safer, — Karin tried to smile innocently but her eyes were gleaming mischievously. — I'd go too because team lacks medic but Orochimaru–sama will get mad if I'll leave you alone here. I couldn't help but push that coward.
