I haven't decided on any specific pairings… But I can say that there will definitely be some HidaSaku, Tobi/MadaSaku, and DeiSaku. I personally favor PeinSaku and HidaSaku. But this is a multiple pairing story, so I'd like to know which pairings you'd prefer to be in this story than certain other pairings. Also, im going to refrain from making some mega romantic scenes until I've introduced most of the characters. So each chapter after this one will be introducing most of the Akatsuki to Sakura. I will warn you now that most of my updates will mostly be sporadic. I update when I can, since half the time I have no access to a computer. So im apologizing beforehand for any late updates.

I'd like to thank those that reviewed the previous chapter:

Star Loop

Yuti-Chan

Vampirix

Now on with the story!

Past (Also Zetsu's other half)

Present

Floating Petal

Zetsu had come back one day after and continued to bring her meals. Occasionally he would try to coax information out about Naruto or her village, but he never succeeded. After five days of him being there and talking to her she realized how nice it was to talk to someone. Even if it was someone who was part of an organization that was bent on kidnapping her best friend and plotting the demise of her village. He could be fun to have around, when he wasn't talking about eating the flesh of others. She was desperate for someone to talk to, and he was willing to have conversations with her. Sakura made sure she didn't get to close to him though. This man was a criminal and he was dangerous. She couldn't trust him.

The day he didn't appear she felt extremely lonely. She began to think over her situation and her friends. She missed Naruto and Ino to an unhealthy extent.

She wanted to be lecturing her shishou on how she shouldn't drink so much sake. She wanted to hear her shishou whine back that the paperwork had forced her to do it, that her work was stressing her out. She wanted to be yelling at Naruto for peeping at her while she was in the bath house. She wanted to be telling Ino that the skirt was way too short to be worn in public.

Sakura roughly rubbed her eye, feeling a stray tear, and held back a sniffle. She needed to stay strong. If she showed weakness, they would take advantage of it and break her down with it. Sakura stood up and started to pace around the cell, hoping to distract herself.

Two blue eyes watched the pinked hair pace in her cell amused. "Just what, exactly, are you trying to do, yeah?" The blue eyed person asked, startling her out of her distracted pacing. She looked up at the owner of such a baritone voice and cleared her throat. "None of your business. And who, exactly are you?" She shot back harshly. He lifted an inquisitive blonde eyebrow. "Deidara, your new interrogator, yeah. Who shoved a stick up your derrière?" He shot right back. She lifted a pale slender middle finger. He chuckled. "Zetsu, apparently." He said with a smirk. She growled.

"Go away. Im not hungry so you don't need to give me any food." "Give you food? Ohohoho! Im not some chef, yeah. If you want food, you're going to work for it." He told her. "That's okay. I'll starve. I refuse to betray my village or my friends so you might as well just leave." She said with a pointed look. He stepped closer to the bars. "Im not leaving until I get some information. If I have to, I'll use force." Deidara growled at her. "Go ahead and try, you won't break me." Sakura replied. "You obviously do not know Deidara Iwagakure, yeah." He said with an evil grin.

"No, yeah."

"Yes, yeah!"

"No, yeah."

"Stop it, yeah!"

"No, yeah."

"STOP, YEAH!"

"NO, YEAH!"

"GRAAAAAAHH!" Deidara growled in frustration after Sakura continued to mock him. He had been interrogating her- wait, let me repeat that. He had been trying to interrogate her. He wasn't being very successful. "Fine, I'll stop." She said with an amused smile. "Good." He growled. "Well im going to bed now, so shut up." Sakura commanded, and padded over to her terrible excuse for a bed. "Who said you get to sleep?" Deidara demanded. "I did, now shut up." Deidara glared at her.

After a few minutes of silence Deidara started to get bored. He looked over at Sakura from his position on the floor. He felt sorry for her, but he had a job to do. Deidara would've helped her a long time ago, he could tell she didn't deserve to be here, but he knew they would kill him if he did.

He studied her features from what he could see in the dark. Her hair was pink, which was very odd and must provide problems in her work, he assumed. It's hard to stay hidden when your hair sticks out from pretty much everything. She had a pale skin tone, which somewhat complimented her looks. He had to admit, she was pretty attractive. Too bad she's so annoying, he thought. Must drive all the guys away. As if she could read minds, Sakura let out a low growl in her sleep. Creepy, Deidara thought.

…..

Deidara began to fiddle with his hair in boredom. He decided she had slept long enough. "Hey, Miss Pinky, wake up." He said loudly, his voice echoing through the dungeon halls. "What? Whadda ya' want?" Sakura grumbled, half asleep. "Im bored, yeah." He told her. "You woke me up for that?" "Yup."

Sakura sighed.

"And what am I supposed to do about it?" Sakura asked, frustrated. "You want to play game, yeah?" He asked. "Like what? Twenty questions?" She said with a sort. "Yeah! Twenty questions!" Deidara exclaimed excitedly.

She groaned.

This was going to be a long night.

Haha, torturing the characters, it's always fun. XD
