"It's been a while Sasuke." he laughed

"What are you doing here Kabuto?" Sasuke snarled.

TBC...

Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes. How had he not sensed his chakra? And why the hell was he here in the first place? His presence felt different, his chakra was completely off and his movements had totally changed. Something wasn't right but Sasuke couldn't quite put his finger on it. Had his attempt at fusing his body with Ororchimaru been successful?

"I see you have a new friend, tch Sasuke, I knew you'd get lonely sooner or later." said Kabuto, laughing.

"Why have you come here?" Sasuke grumbled, reaching for a kunai.

"Actually I've come for your new friend, sorry if you haven't gotten a chance to get aquainted." he grinned, "You know, private matters, so if you would let take the girl off your hands and call it a day…"

"No." Sasuke growled. This was just strange. Sakura? Why would he need her? Something wasn't quite right...

"Oh? Pity, I suppose I'll just have to make you give her up." Smirking, Kabuto made shadow clones of himself rapidly. Soon, the room filled up with at least a dozen clones. How? Sasuke thought to himself. He had made them so quickly and barely used any of his chakra, from what Sasuke could tell. He only knew one other person who could do that so quickly…

As Sasuke pulled out a kunai and ran at one of the clones, he saw the one that he supposed was the real Kabuto, reach out and grab Sakura. With the screaming, pink-haired girl in his arms, he fled out the window. Quickly, Sasuke charged at the clones and smirked. He should have known.

Today had to be the longest and by far the oddest days of Sakura's life. She had been abducted of her beautiful day, abducted by Sasuke, taken hostage and then kidnapped by Kabuto? No, Sakura had to have been dreaming. That was it, she was still napping in her room. Blinking she tried to wake herself up but to no avail. She was definitely awake.

"Let me go!" she screamed at her captor, hopelessly hitting him with her fists.

"Sakura shhh! Sakura stop hitting me! It's Naruto!" Sakura stopped hitting him and looked into a pair of blue eyes. His white hair had turned blonde and the smiling idiot beamed at her in pride. He was definitely her FAVORITE idiot. How could she have not noticed his chakra? And the clones! How could she have not noticed?

"Oh Naruto!" she cried, hugging him tightly, "You have no idea what I've been through today! I'm so glad you came! Why were you pretending to be-"

"So Sasuke wouldn't know where to look for you!" laughed Naruto, scratching his head. She had never been happier to see him in her entire life. But Sakura had to laugh at this statement , she was just a decoy. If anything Sasuke had went the opposite direction to flee before the other nin got there. They were doing him a favor in a way.

"Don't worry he was trying to get rid of-"

"Tch Naruto, you played Kabuto well, you got a little sloppy with the shadow clones though." said a voice behind them. Turning her head, Sakura saw Sasuke standing on the tree limb above them. Was her hearing correct? Why would he follow them? Wasn't Sasuke just looking for someone to escort her home safely so he could flee? Naruto would be the best possible candidate! Why couldn't he just let her leave? Naruto turned to Sasuke and growled.

"Sasuke teme!"Naruto screamed. He stood and grabbed a kunai, the air had suddenly become more tense.

"Give her to me Naruto." Sasuke said. Sakura had definitely heard him correctly this time. But why? Why hadn't he just let him take her? Before she could come to a conclusion, Naruto ran at Sasuke and the two were engaged in battle.

"Sakura! Run to the others!" yelled Naruto while he threw several shuriken at Sasuke. Taking Naruto's advice, Sakura ran off into the trees. She ran until her lungs burned and her vision was blurred from the rain. Where were the others? Did she go the wrong way? Should she keep going? Sudenly, she heard rustling in the bushes around her.

"Hello?" Sakura whispered. Suddenly, Sakura was grabbed from behind, trying to turn her head around to see her captor, a cold voice spoke into her ear. "If you scream, you die."

"I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME GONE SASUKE!" she whispered harshly. He couldn't have thought about this, there was no way.

"Change of plans." He said quickly, clasping a hand over her mouth. Swiftly, Sakura felt herself being lifted off the ground and carried through the trees back to the inn. Today was too awful to be true.

When they reached the inn, Sasuke prepared to hear an angry speech from the pink-haired kunoichi but she stayed strangely quiet the whole time. Just as he was getting used to it when they reached the room. The sun had just dipped below the horizon and Sasuke could feel the anger coming off of her. She opened her mouth to speak and out came a growl, a strange slew of curse words and then,

"YOU BASTARD! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST LET ME GO HOME? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY-"

She went on and on and on. After a while Sasuke decided to tune her out. He needed a drink. Bad. Rubbing his temples he finally spoke,

"I'm going to have a drink." he stated bluntly. Leaving a screaming Sakura behind, he turned and slammed the door in her face,
