For Fi!
Because I said so. And it's partially Fi's fault as to my liking this pairing. So! For Fi, have some cheer and Kabu-love. :3

She was dying, and she knew it. With every pain-filled gasp, she could taste the blood in her mouth, pouring down the back of her throat, choking her. Her lips were coated with it, and the fight had sucked the chakra out of her, leaving her clutching at a wound in her side that wouldn't heal. She coughed and sputtered, sweat beading on her forehead as she felt her fingers grow cold.
A shadow fell over her, and she tried to see their face. Whoever it was stood with the sun behind them, and her vision was going grey so quickly. She coughed and choked, blood bubbling up over her bottom lip as she squinted into the fading light. The person standing over her knealt at her side, and her eyes widened, if she wasn't so tired she'd have tried to spit in his eye. It might not've done any good, as his glasses would've been in the way, but it would've made her feel better. At least a little bit.
But she was so cold now, it didn't matter.
"Looks like you bit off a bit more than you could chew, eh Sakura-chan?" She couldn't see his smirk anymore, but she could hear it in his voice, and that was enough.
"Piss off." She wanted to say, but it came out as a gurgled cough. Kabuto seemed to smile, she caught the glint of light off his glasses, at least.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. But you really shouldn't glare at people like that, it's not very polite." He 'tsk'ed at her, peeling her hands away from her side despite her best efforts. "That's quite an impressive injury you have, does it still hurt?"
She almost rolled her eyes, but it took too much effort, so she spat blood at him instead. Which was followed by a painful cough, the gurgling in her chest was concerning, but she couldn't seem to care enough. She felt him press his hand to her side, a tingling warmth spreading through her. Feeling returned to her fingers and toes and she gasped, her eyes flying open, nearly blinded by the sunlight.
"What are you--!" Fingers forced past her teeth, and she would've spat out the pill he'd shoved into her face save for the fact that his hand was firmly clamped over her mouth. She glared daggers at him, but Kabuto just gave her a mirthless smirk.
"Blood pill. I suggest you take it if you don't want to die. You've lost quite a lot of blood, Sakura-chan."
While she couldn't deny his logic, it didn't mean she had to like it either.

Kabuto was quick to knock her out, watching as her eyes glazed and she slumped. The hand that had been painfully tight around his wrist relaxed, her delicate fingers still curled around his arm. After a moment when he was positive she was under, he wiped the excess blood off of her lip with his thumb. Even the strong were still fragile, the mortal vessel was so easy to destroy, and even someone as hideously strong as Sakura could have a weakness.
He took a moment to clean her up a bit, as Sasuke-sama wouldn't like it if his captive was damaged before she arrived. Sasuke-sama needed her in one piece, and Kabuto was not about to earn his new master's ire so soon. There was too much he needed to do once he got back to be wasting time recovering from a beating, and Kabuto hated wasting time. She groaned softly under his ministrations, and he froze, one hand hovering over her chest to strike her pressure points, but her head simply lolled to the side and she sighed. Kabuto relaxed a little, pushing his glasses up again before lifting her into his arms.
It took a moment to adjust her so he was comfortable with carrying her, her skin warm to the touch, a good sign that meant the blood pill was working. He was just about ready to set off again when Sakura shifted, not quite nuzzling against him as she murmured a single word.
"Sasuke..."
Kabuto's smirk wasn't pleasant as he set off for Oto's current base. Sasuke-sama would definitely be pleased.
Ahhhh, it doesn't feel finished. But Ziri's dumb and doesn't know what to do with it now. ; x ;
