((it's early in the morning. I apologize for any ridiculous errors!))
For once, the snake sannin wasn't feel suspicious by Kabuto's actions. At least, not any more than the usual. Since his "revival," he'd been questioning all his subordinates actions and decisions. Of course, they were simply precautionary routines. Then again, Orochimaru didn't truly trust anyone. He controlled everyone around him. It was never the other way around. They were always disposable.
Yet, Kabuto was most likely the closest thing to a "friend" that he would ever have. The man had been nothing but loyal in the past. Despite the fact that his "adviser" was much more... soft, per say, they were somehow able to balance out the continuum. Kabuto never complained and never showed defiance. This was truly all the sannin ever demanded of his subordinates. Tsk. They were so ungrateful at times

"Hmm?" Kabuto replied, lost in thought, before realizing who was standing behind him. "Ah, I am sorry, Lord. Yes, I am prepared." Meeting his eyes and smiling, despite the pain it caused him. He again was grateful of his years in the Leaf Village; with out the constant training he had received (and the constant deceptions) he would never have been able to hide the whirl of his emotions.
"I trust you will be able to handle my absence?" He questioned lightly, grinning to indicate it was a joke, lying about how serious the question really was.
He turned again, about to pick up the satchel, then paused as if he had remembered something. With an unhurried movement he pulled a communications device from his shelf and added it to the bag, "So you can contact me." That done, he swung the bag around his shoulder and nodded to his master, ready to leave.
Orochimaru watched him silently for a moment. He was always suspicious of others' intentions, but Kabuto he was a little less cautious with. Probably because the shinobi always listened to what he said. Of course, there was the occasional questioning of his decisions, and perhaps that had edged his "adviser" closer to death... but it'd never been taken that far. He typically "got over it."
"Of course," he retorted with a smirk. He stepped aside, out of the entrance way, giving room for Kabuto to leave.
Kabuto paused on the threshold, reminded eerily of an earlier conversation. But this time he didn't stop, didn't jump to the conclusion that Orochimaru knew. Four years of diligent work and loyalty had thrust any doubt from their relationship. He walked through the doorway with out looking back.
He fought back the urge to stop, to refuse to leave. To turn and beg for help, rather than cowardly run away. But no. He had considered all the possibilities, and there were no other options, not really.
Instead he bowed low. "I would never disappoint you, Lord. I hope you know that by now." Not looking up, fearful that the doubt would show in his own eyes, and his resolve would weaken.
