A song fic to "Angels" by: Within temptations

Anniepopokios: I'm so happy that I was able to download this song on my laptop and now I listen to it nonstop so here's a Fanfiction about it cause I think the song works very well for Kabuto and Shizune, and yes the story is about them.

Chapter one

Sleepless

-Sparkling angel I believed
you were my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn’t hear
all the whispers, the warnings so clear.-

"Nothing makes sense anymore!" Kabuto sighed to himself as he plopped down on his bed, exhausted from a days work of training and paper work. Today had been bizarrely stress, the medic nin holding a lot of responsibility in his hands at the moment. All he wanted to do was slip into the world of dreams, disappear from this world and get some rest, tomorrow would be another big day for him.

Orochimaru had some kind of "Ingenuous" plan that would make all of Konoha finally get what it deserved, one that he had failed to mention the sharper details to his apprentice, but Kabuto didn't care. It wasn't that he doubted Orochimaru-sama, it was just he didn't like this plan, that was all.

Miraculously, two of the members of the once feared Sound five had been found "half" dead on the battle field where the duel against those stupid Chuunin had taken place. Shikamaru and his troop, they'd completely destroyed Jiroubou, Kidomaru, and Tayuya, but somehow Kabuto had managed to bring back Kimimaru and Sakon. Orochimaru had truly been amazed that they were still alive, Sakon being stabbed by all those weapons when he'd been locked inside Kankurou's cursed puppets, but he was still alive, barely able to keep a steady heart beat, but alive. Kimimaru was dying quickly from the disease though. The way he'd dropped down on the battle field, looking completely dead, had just been a side affect from the disease, but he hadn't been killed.

Problem was, there wasn't much Kabuto could do to ease their pain, though he was pretty sure they were too beat up to feel anything. Kabuto didn't know what he'd do tomorrow, not wanting to be the one to tell Orochimaru they were dead. That was another thing that had been bothering him lately. It was so quiet here, more than usual, and it was starting to get on his nerves. He wasn't saying he missed the noise the sound five members used to bring with him, but he wasn't saying he liked the quiet, emptiness their deaths had given this place.

Orochimaru didn't look too upset about their deaths, but he was upset with the failure of the mission. He'd been a bit more pleasant after Kimimaru and Sakon had showed up, but Kabuto knew it was only a matter of time before he really snapped, then they'd all be doomed.

"Kabuto!" A voice suddenly shook him out of his world of thoughts, shattering the glass of his daydreams and sending him hurling back into the world of misery he'd been trying to forget.

"What is it!" Kabuto groaned, his eyelids beginning to droop. He knew who was standing in the doorway, the familiar voice of that dumb Uchiha was unmistakable to his ears.

"Orochimaru-san sent for you, he said its urgent." Sasuke yawned, feeling a tad bit sleepy. It was late and he'd been training all day.

"What the hell does he want at this time of night! Haven't you people pestered me enough today!" Kabuto moaned, letting his head sink back into his pillow as he began to drift to sleep," tell Orochimaru-sama I'll talk to him in the morning."

"KABUTO!" Sasuke barked, his impatient voice making Kabuto jump and raising his angry attitude.

"FINE!" Kabuto growled as he put his feet on the cold floor and stomped out the door, pushing past Sasuke and disappearing down the dark hallway, mumbling to himself with an angry voice as he walked.

"Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto grumbled as he entered the man's dark room, the only light in the black the luminosity of the candles burning on the tables in the corners of the room. Papers were strung all around the floors, a few discarded dinner plates lying on the stone ground, cobwebs gathering in the corners of the room.

Orochimaru sat in his usual spot, behind his desk, resting his chin on his hands and looking glum and distressed.

"Kabuto I'm concerned about the status of our two sound five members." He got straight to the point. Kabuto let out a long, tired sigh, somehow he just knew he was going to say that. Pushing a few silver strands out of his face, Kabuto searched for the right words.

"What do you want me to do about it?" He asked.

"There's really only one option," Orochimaru began, puzzling his apprentice even more," you've got to go get help. Simple as that."

Kabuto stared at Orochimaru as though he'd gone mad, his eyes looking perplexed and confused.

"From who?"

"That wretched leaf village, they've got a few good medical nins don't they?" Kabuto only shook his head in despair, this plan would never work, he just knew it. All he wanted to do was go get some sleep, he didn't really care what Orochimaru thought right now.

"Yes, but-" He was cut off by Orochimaru's snake-like voice.

"Now buts Kabuto, I want you to go to that village and get one of those medical nin, bring them back here and I'll have to force them to heal Sakon and Kimimaru. If we don't do this they will die. NOW GO!" He ordered, but Kabuto didn't move from his spot.

"Now way, I'm going to bed, get Sasuke to go fetch you your little medic ninja, I'm tired." That wasn't the answer Orochimaru had expected, he grimaced, glaring at Kabuto with his yellow eyes.

"You will do as I say!" He barked.

Kabuto turned to leave, annoyed and impatient to get some rest, but he sighed, realizing the situation, he didn't really have a choice.

"Fine, I'll go get your little medic, but after that I'm getting some rest!" He growled as he walked out the door, dreading how this night was going to drag on.
