I do not own any of the Naruto characters! (Wish I did though!)

Tsunade and Sakura have been missing for a few days, they had gone on a mission to Sunagakure, to recapture Kabuto. Somehow he managed to allude all of the teams that were sent his way, but they still knew that he was somewhere in the village. Kakashi had been the last person sent after him, but the great copy nin had been alluded as well.

Chapter I

"Tsunade! Wait up...! You're leaving me behind again! "Sakura called, running to catch up to her sanin companion." I asked you before we left if you would be able to keep up, now do so, we need to hurry. . . I don't like this place, it's too quiet." Tsunade whispered as she continued to walk away, leaving Sakura in her wake. They continued to hurry down the side street that Kabuto reportedly traveled the most, by this time Sakura was ready to call it a day and find someplace to rest. Tsunade noticed that the younger Kunoichi was out of breath, and finding it even harder to keep the pace. "Why don't we find a place for the night?" she said, waiting for her young companion to catch up.

After checking into a hotel the two Kunoichi ordered a meal from the Ramen shop down the street, thinking Sakura had drifted off to sleep on the couch Tsunade pulled out her hidden bottle of Sake'. At the sound of the bottle opening, Sakura sat straight up and started to beg for some. "Come on, please just one sip...?" Tsunade sighed and pulled out two cups, sitting them on the table. "I can yell at you for an hour, without you hearing a word, but the second I go to open a sake' bottle your all ears." Sakura giggled and started to fidget as Tsunade began to pour their drinks.

A knock at the door finally silenced Sakura's giggles; Tsunade got up to answer the door, thinking it was there Ramen. When Tsunade opened the door she gawped in silence as Kabuto, the very man that they had come for walked into the room and sat down on the couch. Sakura was the first one to find her voice and end the awkward silence. "What are you ... Where did you... why do you...? WHAT THE HELL!!!"Tsunade sighed and closed the door, "I think what Sakura is trying to ask is why you came here...Am I right, Sakura?" She asked, turning her attention to the young Kunoichi. Sakura meekly nodded her head in response as she continued to stare at Kabuto, who was trying his best to keep from laughing his ass off.

"I came to see how close you were to catching me...do you know where I have been hiding out?" He asked looking at them innocently. "Yes, you are at Orochimaru's old hideout...are you not?" Tsunade smiled, leaning against a small countertop, exactly opposite to where Kabuto stood at the door. He laughed and looked at them, "yes, that is where I was last, but I just moved to another place...not too far from here."

YAY! Don't you just love cliffies? Please don't give me any flames! I BEG OF YOU!! This was a spur of the moment thing!
