WOW. I haven't update in a while.

Truth be told, I only updated because a few people reviewed and I LOST MY PHONE.

It's the end of the world as I know it.

And...P.S. it's an extremely short chapter :D

--

Sakura was in a pickle. Are you just now figuring out he wants to kill you? Inner Sakura asked, rolling her invisible eyes.

I'm sorry that being so…blunt about death shocks me.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, asking himself if his reply had honestly scared her so much. He smirked, leaning in closer to the frozen girl. "I didn't take you for such a weak girl." He whispered.

Sakura stared at him head on for a second before smart-ass smile graced her lips. "If you think I'm weak then you are obviously more screwed up in the head than I originally assumed?" She scooted back on the bed and crossed her legs, placing her hands in her lap. Sasuke watched her actions with interest.

He raised an eyebrow. "How am I screwed up when you're the one chatting away with your kidnappers?"

The question didn't throw her off guard as it would have in the beginning of the night. Instead, she thought of it for a second.

Once she had her answer she shrugged, both to herself and to him. "I guess I was bored, not to mention interested in Akatsuki. It's not every day a girl gets abducted by a group of, I have to say, hot group of guys. But then again, all they're after is my body." She giggled, moving her hands down the sides of her body in a striptease way. "Of course they, you, prefer my body with a big gaping wound in the chest and a big pool of blood around me."

Sasuke smirked. "I can assure you I'd prefer it if your alive."

"Why? Then I wouldn't be tragically beautiful." She rolled her eyes before going in a laughing fit, rolling back on the bed before sighing. "I want to go home." She mumbled, letting her long legs dangle off the side of the bed.

Sasuke leaned over, just the smallest hint of seduction in his smoky coal eyes staring into her green ones. By the time she put her hand on his shoulder he was eye even with her, his lean body over hers.

"What are you doing?" She asked, eyebrows furrowed

"I'm going to make you forget about home." Her protests were muffled by his mouth a half-a-second later.

She pushed him off of her and rolled on top of his, hands on the side of his head. "Don't try to distract me." She growled out. Her Inner Self was yelling at her to bitch at him, to let out all of her frustrations on him. Sakura might be mean occasionally, but even she understood that putting the poor man through all of her troubles would be near torture.

He rolled on top of her faster than she thought possible, hurting her back as it hit the bed roughly. "Why not?" He growled. "I haven't had any in a very, very long time and I can guess that you haven't either." Sakura couldn't argue with that. "And it's not like you have anything to lose."

"I could lose Gaara." She mumbled. Her eyes widened slightly at her own words.

Sasuke smirked. "I've heard you say you don't even know anything about him, so let me tell you something. Gaara doesn't know love. He's had many, many girlfriends but none of them lasted more than a week. Not because of the girls themselves, all of them very attractive. No, Gaara just bored of them. Don't think for a second he won't get bored of you after a few weeks."

She frowned. "So? Even that would be a welcomed escape from my past boyfriends. All of them were bookstore workers, pre-med students, or real estate agents – all boring. Gaara is a nice change."

"If you want dangerous then have me."

"No." She said with a small smile. "Don't get me wrong – your hot, sexy beyond all belief, but not Gaara. If I had met you first then there is no way I'd pick Gaara, but at the moment he's all I can think about and I don't see that changing any time soon."

"You've only know him for a few days."

She laughed outright at that. "Not even a few days. I could say something corny like 'It was love a first sight' but I think it's more like 'love at first make-out session'. She would have continued if the sound of of running feet didn't interrupt her. Sasuke frowned at the noise.

"I guess I was wrong." He mumbled. "It seems as if your friends are here after all." She smiled at that, sitting up as he slid off the bed.

"Yay." She said, about to run to the door when Sasuke grabbed her arm and pulled her into him.

"No, not yay," she froze when she felt the cold steel on her back. "I have strict orders to kill you if they made it to the third floor."

Sakura was speechless. "I-I…" The steel left her back and Sasuke turned her to face him.

"But I won't." WHAT? He smirked at her shocked expression. "At least not yet." Her shocked expression turned into a deadpan. "You're the perfect think to show that idiot Naruto that I'm not the same Sasuke he knew."

They waited in silence for a second before Sakura heard the shuffling and slamming of doors. The unmistakable yell of Naruto rang through the growing clamor of the fight below. It only took a few minutes before their door slammed open, revealing a Naruto she hadn't seen before.

His eyes were a brighter blue and his hair was wild, the ends dyed in blood. The small scars on his face seemed like real whiskers in the light. His teeth looked strangely like fangs. Once he saw her though his expression softened before he caught sight of the man behind her.

"Sasuke." He growled, taking a small step forward, yelling that he'd found them at the same time.

"Naruto." The silent animosity between the two scared Sakura. Naruto had been her friend through highschool and never before had she seen him so visibly upset. What happened next she could only remember a small bit of since the pain over took all of her senses.

The knife went into her left arm, slicing her bicep. A half second later, just as Naruto was registering just what happened, the knife went into her side. Sakura looked down at her shirt and saw the blood pool up. She swore she could even see the tip of the knife before falling down, her face strangely calm as the scream worked its way up to her mouth.

:O

Oh noes!

Sakura!
