"Kabuto, leave…" Orochimaru said surprisingly. Kabuto raised a hand and let out a questioning noise, knowing how situations escalate quickly. Orochimaru waved him off, and gave him a glare that would scare small children. Kabuto just nodded and slowly walked out of the room wanting to shake his head in disappointment. He closed the door, the clicking of it ringing in his ears. Kabuto crossed his arms and began to doubt his master's abilities purely on age.

It was then he saw a pretty red haired girl in a tattered sweater walk up to a wall just outside the hallway doors. She turned calmly and waited watching something or someone. She adjusted her glasses once or twice nervously fidgeting, legs shuffling balance back and forth. When the timing was appropriate she turned around and yanked with serious purpose on the bright red handle of the fire alarm. She than rushed away down the hall, that was when Kabuto heard the deep locking noise from the lab door nearly over shadowed by the blaring fire alarm. Frantically grabbing it he tugged and tugged but the door was sealed and wouldn't budge. He was locked away from Orochimaru, he couldn't assist if his master needed it.

"Safety precaution. All laboratory doors lock and are sealed with lead due to the highly dangerous and possibly explosive chemicals contained inside. Without the addition of extra oxygen, the chance that the labs will catch fire is less, and even more less that they will explode causing major damage." A door sealed behind the voice as Konan walked out of a lab in her coat. She took two steps in her heels and tossed her lab coat off. "The fire alarm is a distraction tactic by Itachi Uchiha in an attempt to secure Sasuke Uchiha, and you're sealed off now in this hallway."

"Sealed? Air tight as well?" Kabuto said and watched as the pair of fire proof doors closed off the hallway. He back up too the doors and looked out the window of the door to see Itachi glaring back at him. Suddenly he was gone and you could hear bullets being shot into the door.

"There's a ventilation system, don't worry, they won't suffocate. Everything is bullet proof as well. Madara made a great plea to the board about how we might be the victim of a horrible crime and how our implements of science could be used by terrorists. They gave at terrorists of course not knowing his true intention." Konan said and pulled a gun from the back of her black pencil skirt. She aimed it with skill at his head. "However, air's not bullet proof."

---------( blAck bIrd)---------

"So, why purple eyes?" Orochimaru asked smiling whimsically. He flipped his hair from his face and casually put his hands together leaving the pointer fingers up patting against his lip. "Is it another thing to try and entrance Konan to stay with you? She's been horribly flighty ever since what's his face died."

"Konan will never leave me." Nagato said partially upset. Orochimaru could tell he had touched the right subject by the way Nagato's knuckles began to whiten. "Unlike you, I have someone who actually loves me. It makes a huge character difference… Having someone who loves you. Of course, now I'm just preaching to a black hearted snake, why waste time on that?"

"You've been around Sasori too much, his sense of always being in a rushing is tacking on." Orochimaru said standing up slowly. He quickly leaned back some stretching and cracking his back. He stood up and than ducked right down to dodge a blow from Nagato. Going up Orochimaru grabbed his arm, Nagato broke it and tried a counterattack by punching him in the face. Orochimaru slid across the floor, caught his hand on a tile and flipped over landing on his feet. "Unlike Sasori however, you're not very good at strategy. He wouldn't have dropped his gun, he would have saved it for good times to shoot, like just than instead of punching me in the face."

"Well… To be truthful… I kind of want to just beat on you." Nagato said and ran over to him fist reeled back. He tossed it and Orochimaru's head ducked to the left of it meeting Nagato's left knee. Orochimaru went flying into the cupboards ruining them and what they contained. He quickly got up and cracked his neck into a better condition. He quickly dusted himself off and than cracked his knuckles. "And personally, I think it's working pretty well."

"You're failing to see the overall problem to your actions, Nagato. While I maintain my stamina, you've been wasting yours. You won't last much longer, after all, you don't have the knowledge I posses." Orochimaru gloated and began laughing again until he heard gunshots. "Who was that…"

"That would be my girlfriend disposing of your pathetic little lackey." Nagato took up the laughing and watched as Orochimaru's face turned a sour red color from the anger. Nagato took a second to straighten out and adjust his stance. "Not so jolly anymore are we?"

Orochimaru sniffled, than turned to him lack of smile making him seem dangerous. His eyes shimmered a fairy tale-like yellow and he suddenly seemed to change. He calmed, his lips twisting back to their normal small, wicked smile. "Kabuto is a lot harder to kill than you'd suspect."

--------( blAck bIrd)---------

Konan fired off a half a clip at Kabuto, however, she was amazed and slightly upset at what he did. Kabuto jumped from the floor, to than off the wall and landed behind her his eyes flashing a silver color quickly. "Don't tell me, you're one of his guinea pigs right? People so loyal to him that they're stupid enough to volunteer for such a high level of experimentation are his playthings. They must be insane. He always did like to surround himself with guinea pigs. How like him…"

"Brilliant, you mean. Yes, it was a bit of a risk going under hours of painful genetic mutation, but brilliant nonetheless. You'll never be able to shoot me. Your reflexes are still human, and humanity can't beat evolution." Kabuto smiled and fixed his glasses upon his face. "Now, you're Konan right? Orochimaru said you were always filling the room with paper sculptures. Said it was where your true passion was. How'd you end up as a chick that looks like she works for Umbrella Corp?"

"Things happen, people change." Konan said lightly. Kabuto turned away for a second to see something coming at him fast. He was barely able to dart out of the way to see several paper shuriken being controlled by strings move past. He turned around and looked at her landing a few feet off center. Konan smiled wickedly reeling the thinly weapons in. "You forgot I came from that way… you also didn't examine the trash cans. And you also didn't look at the side of your neck."

She pulled a paper shuriken up to eye level for him to see. It shined with liqid in the lights of the hallway and than dripped on the floor a dark red threat. Kabuto clasped his hands around his neck and pulled back to show that both sides were bleeding. His hands covered in blood he laughed. "That's very impressive, though a few paper cuts aren't going to slow me down."

"They will eventually." Konan smiled and dropped her paper shuriken to the ground. "This is a section of laboratories where we experiment on people; you think I wouldn't have something up my sleeve? You obviously need to be better trained since it's brazenly obvious that an opponent would do something like that. They have razors coated with Thiopental that come out when moved at high speeds. It's a small dose of Barbiturate, but concentrated. Luckily we don't stock pancuronium bromide."

"Well, that's a relief. At least I know I won't be dying by… You still have a gun." Kabuto realized and felt his breathing slowly start to decrease. He pulled a small tablet out of his pocket and held it up to her. She looked at him with no emotion and watched as he swallowed it. He held his hand to his mouth as to make sure he wouldn't be coughing it up.

"You better hope that's fast dissolving." Konan said and raised her gun to his eye level again. She squeezed the trigger but than realized she had shot into the air. He had pulled another stunt and by the time she had tried to turn around, she felt a hand over her mouth and nose. Kabuto pushed her against the wall with a few steps and smiled as her look turned to panic. Her hand and nails went to digging into his skin, but he seemed not to notice, or care. 'Shit, he can't feel a damn thing! That's why he didn't notice the razors cut him until I told him. Even if a bullet hit him, he wouldn't feel it and slow down.'

"Now, drop the gun." Kabuto said calmly. Konan scowled and complied quickly her breathing having been cut off. Kabuto lowered his hand letting her breath out of her nose and went to kick the gun away but noticed his legs lack of discipline. "Looks like your medicine has started to take effect. I'll have to watch out for that during our next battle. I give."

Letting go of her Kabuto took one step back and dragged his other foot back. He raised his hands in surrender and than noticed he was turning the center band on a ring. Suddenly a bright gas exploded from it and as soon as it was done they both started hacking. Kabuto simply sat down scooting to the opposite wall and just stared as Konan slowly sunk to the floor. "Bastard…"

"There's no need to be rude about it. It's just that I would prefer a draw to a loss." Kabuto kept couching and soon passed out. Konan shoved her lab coat over her mouth realizing she was trapped. Fading fast she grabbed her gun and shot at the lab window. Managing to squeeze off three rounds she fell unconscious letting the gun drop heavily in her lap, barrel still warm from firing.

--------( blAck bIrd)---------

Least to say neither Orochimaru nor Nagato was too hasty about learning about the others genetic advancements. However it was Orochimaru, more steady in his confidence, which began to initiate the fight. "Seriously Nagato, do you honestly think you can beat a body by Nine? This body is more advanced than anything you've ever seen."

"Well, considering the bastard's psychotic, not really, but as soon as the alarms done and over with you're going to have a way bigger problem than me." Nagato said and carefully stomped on the tip of his gun showing through his holster and propelled it in the air. Grabbing it his pulled it from the casing and shot at Orochimaru around the room. He had chased Orochimaru into a corner by the cupboards. He stopped and aimed. "Here's how it's going to go… I'm going to see what I can do to damage your body and let him take care of the rest."

"I'm bored of you…" Orochimaru said calmly. Suddenly Nagato found himself on the floor with a slithery white hand around his neck. Orochimaru shook his head and 'tsk'-ed at the researcher. "First off, you see that child up there… on the slab. See him. I want him."

Nagato turned to see Sasuke was still out like a light. He turned back nearly growling but the hand sunk deeper and he realized he had stopped breathing. Nagato began clawing at the hand but it wasn't helping at all, he felt like he was digging at scales. "This 'him' your talking about I suppose would be big brother raging at the thought of his little Sasuke being injured. Itachi's just as pathetic as you are, however he…

"He is truly magnificent, truly. He has a will to kill, and as such, I think he could use a little boost. Of course, I'm going to do it in a way suiting my mannerism. A gentleman like state of perfection and simplicity." Orochimaru looked up at the table, smiled adoringly and quickly punched Nagato rendering him unconscious. Getting up he patted off the germs he felt were on the labs floor and heard gun shots. He saw the breaks in the first few layers of glass and shrugged. "Told him Kabuto wouldn't go down that easily."

Positioning himself into what he presumed would be Sasuke's first vision Orochimaru waited… and waited. After about three minutes and growing impatient of watching the boy agitatedly squirm, he shook him. "I'm not waking up yet bastard… go wake up Suigetsu first."

Sasuke turned in the straps and managed to roll over somehow. In his awkward position Sasuke managed to shield his eyes again and quickly fell asleep. He shook him once more in an attempt to make contact, however it just seemed to piss him off. Orochimaru sighed. "Teenagers…"

Sasuke jolted awake at the voice he didn't recognize. He quickly looked around and spotted the man. There stood a tall lean figure who looked like he hadn't left his basement in years. His hair was finely brushed to his waist in a brand new white suit. "You look silly in that."

"Aw, you don't like it? And it's Italian silk…" Orochimaru cooed playfully. He tugged at the sleeves of the shirt beneath the jacket arranging it to something more comfortable than continued. "I got it just for this, after all, wouldn't want to make a bad first impression, would we?"

"Who are you and why am I on a table? Is this scare tactics? If so I'm going to kill you." Sasuke warned getting angry. The cuffs didn't move or rattle as he tried to get his wrists out. "You guys are really going all out on this, did Madara set me up? He'd do something like this."

"No, this isn't a TV show… but I like the enthusiasm." Orochimaru said and sat down on the edge of the table. He smiled at the memories of seeing Itachi on a table and the joy of experimentations. He was almost tempted to grab some of the surrounding equipment and get to work already. However, Orochimaru contained himself and crossed his arms glaring with intent to hurt him. "So you're Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi's baby brother. Not much of kid anymore, are you?"

"You must be that creepy bastard that everyone's trying to shoot in the head. You're not very popular around here, is that why he's out cold on the floor?" Sasuke asked observantly. Orochimaru winced in agitation quickly but turned to a calm reserve and wasn't allowed to get a word in. "You know, he's going to be pissed when he wakes up, and more or less, Madara's going to go fuckin' psycho and might do the head on a pike thing, which will make me go to his salmon mansion more often. I think it'd be entertaining."

Orochimaru slapped a hand over his mouth. He sighed and shook his head. He so clearly remembered how much Itachi talked during the periods where he had pissed him off. "You're just like your brother, you don't shut up. Now, I am going to make this simple and than release you. My name's Orochimaru, I'm a scientist. I used to work here under Madara until that bastard tried to kill me, and I think we can help each other out."

Orochimaru removed his hand and watched Sasuke. The young Uchiha blinked and looked off into the distance still in a conundrum over Nagato on the floor. Madara had warned him about this guy, which meant he could be talked to, however, so did Itachi. It was that part in where Sasuke fell confused. "What do you mean? How could you possibly help me?"

"Well, for starters, I can make you stronger, better, faster, you know, that whole chestnut. But, beyond that, I know you're looking for something… Something to do with your parents I believe." Sasuke's face went blank, Orochimaru knew he had struck a cord. "There's something too that, isn't there? What is it you inquired to the police?"

"Hm…" Sasuke frowned. Orochimaru pressed the release button under the table and clicks went out to the belts holding him down. Sasuke sat up and caught the encroaching man out of the corner of his eye. He turned away and than quickly shoved a hand out pushing Orochimaru back a couple steps. "I believe… You should get lost before one of my family members gets in here to kick your ass."

"Oh come now, I already know, I know everything, and unlike your brother, I am more than willing to share my knowledge of what really happened that night." Orochimaru said and carefully flicked a lock of Sasuke's hair out of his face. "That's right, you big brother hasn't been sharing, that's not very nice of him, and guess what, neither has Madara… You're 'family'… is a bunch of liars and murdering thieves."

"At least they don't look like they've been hibernating in their mother's basement since '82." Sasuke laughed. He was interrupted by Orochimaru grabbing his throat and holding him to the table. After a few minutes of Sasuke struggling he stopped needing to breath.

"Now," Orochimaru said loosing the grip and than reestablishing it on his chin. Sasuke squirmed a bit and grasped at his hands in a vain attempt to free himself from the snake like man. He kept struggling and tearing at the large white hand until he realized it was futile. "We're not going to try that again are we? No, we're not that stupid… I hope. I mean, you're brother was so compliant."
