Well, I really hope you're all strapped in for a ride - because this chapter doesn't have one! (ha, tricked you!)

Thanks to my beta Anari Cross!

Enjoy~!

"Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming." Colossians 3:6

The man sat back and switched off the video camera. Swiveling the chair to face a table behind him, he took off his mask and hat. He had known that Shikamaru would speak out of turn, but even so, the thought of being interrupted angered him!

He rose and smacked some papers off the table, a growl settling in his throat. "Maggots." he muttered. As he crossed the room, he glared a the pictures he had posted on the wall. "They'll all pay for what they've done. Hopefully, they'll pay with their lives."

The man grabbed a knife off the table and moved towards the pictures. "You," he said, stabbing the knife into one of the snapshots, "will be my greatest prey of all...Naruto."

"This is insane!" yelled Sakura. "How the hell are we supposed to kill someone?"

"Just calm down." I said, "We need to think this through."

"Oh, and what exactly are we supposed to think about? We're going to die!" Sasuke blurted. "I'm too pretty to die!"

Naruto meeped and hid his face back in his knees.

"Ok, listen, first off, let's get acquainted, shall we? I'll start. I'm Shikamaru Nara, and I'm a mathematician."

Sasuke sighed. "Fine. My name is Sasuke Uchiha, and I'm a male model."

"S-Sakura Haruno. I'm Sasuke's agent." The pinkette said.

I looked to my left. "How about you three?"

The pale man stood. "I'm Sai." That creepy fake smile was still in place. "I'm an artist."

"Alright." I said, glancing over a the brunette.

The woman stood. "Hi, I'm Haku, I'm a student of psychology at the local university…and I'm a guy." He said, obviously aware of his androgynous appearance.

"Oh." I said, embarrassed that I didn't catch that earlier.

"Yeah." He replied, a frown on his face.

I looked over at the blonde, desperate to know more about this timid creature.

The blonde peeked his eyes out from behind his knees. "I'm Naruto. I-I'm an engineer."

"So, we all know each other now, what the hell did that accomplish?" Sasuke whined.

"It's easier to work together and get out of here if we know what everyone's strengths are! Although I doubt you'll be very much help. What's your skill again? Being pretty?" I said, not masking the malice in my voice. We were in a horrible situation, and he just had to sit there and be Mr. Negative.

"Shut up! That's just one quality of the amazingness that is Sasuke Uchiha! I have a lot of skills. But why should we fucking work together? I say every man for himself!"

"You would say something like that. I suppose next you'll say that we should kill someone!"

"Actually yeah. I want to live! I have a career and a life and more fuck buddies than one could ever dream of! So, I'll do pretty much anything to get out of this hell hole and back to that."

"You arrogant prick! You want to murder someone?"

"What?" Sasuke looked seriously confused. "It'll be considered self-defense! It's not like we'll go to jail or anything."

"That's not the point!" God, I just wanted to punch this guy in the face! "Can you really live with yourself knowing you ended someone's life?"

I looked around, hoping for some back-up, when I noticed Naruto had stood at some point. My thoughts were immediately lost at finally seeing the man. His body was godlike! I could hear my inner-self drooling.

I forced my eyes away. "Look around you Uchiha! Who the hell do you think you're going to kill? Who among us deserves to die?"

Sasuke stopped, as if he was actually considering my point. "I don't know." The man's shoulders sagged, defeated.

"So, there will be no killing anyone. Right?" I affirmed.

"Right." Came the resounding reply from the group.

"Good, it's settled. Now, let's try and figure out how to get out of here."

Everyone started to move around the large empty room. The walls were white, the floor was concrete, and there were four doors. One presumably lead to us getting out of here, and was locked. Two of them led to restrooms, both unlocked. And the last one was the large metal garage door, locked.

"Well, that got us nowhere." Came the voice of Mr. Negative, but I was too busy to argue with him. I was looking over the one piece of furniture in the room.

A large circular table sat in the center of the room, it held five small circles spaced evenly around the edge. "What the hell is this?" I wondered aloud.

The others joined me around it. I heard a small shriek and looked up to see Naruto slowly backing away, fear in his blue eyes. "Naruto?"

The man simply shook his head, inching backwards until his back hit the wall.

I moved from around the table and approached him. "Naruto? What's wrong?"

A tan hand lifted so that a single finger pointed back at the table. "I-its…it's an alter."

"Sir! There have been six people reported missing in the last two hours!" said a random officer.

"What?" Detective Iruka Umino nearly fell out of his chair. Nothing ever happened in their small town!

"Two of the reported include two of our guests. The model Sasuke Uchiha, and his agent Sakura Haruno." A couple days ago, the plane carrying the famous model came down and their group was stranded here. Needless to say that having him go missing was horrible news for their town.

"Oh God…" Iruka said, his eyes wide.

Another officer came in. "Sir, this was left in one of the homes."

The head detective looked over and saw a video in the man's hands. He grabbed it and moved to the AV room to pop it in.

A man filled the screen, he wore a white mask and a fedora. "Hello detectives, this is the Crimson Shadow, but please, call me Shadow. I just wanted to let you all know that I have kidnapped six people, and not all of them will be returned alive; if any that is."

Iruka gasped.

"They are in the middle of playing my little game – a game of truth and a game of darkness. In the end, they will either learn that they are all sinners, or they will die." The video cut out.

"Call the FBI. He's back."

Thanks to my supporters!
