Ok, I got an excuse... WRITER'S BLOCK! GOD! I hate those with a sicker passion than passion itself (that made no sense though) Anyways, review plz. u guys haven't!


RECAP: "Whatever hideous forehead! I'm going to Sasuke-kun." Ino beamed but Sakura didn't pay attention, for she knew not to anger herself because of a certain dark inner.


Closer

And so Orochimaru's plan had worked, not only were leaf ninjas on their way to his hideout, Sasuke was coming with them and he would make sure to lead them to the right place.

As he finally released all his victims and sent them back to their home villages, beaten, broken, abused, violated, raped, all other horrible things, he sat back to his high chair to wait for his preys.

Yes, preys because he was also waiting for the pinkette.

"This should be fun…" He hissed with a dark smirk in the darkness.

Orochimaru had actually kept a girl because she had wanted to do anything to stay.

She was the only one who didn't complain when he had ordered Kabuto and his other minions to violate her. She was the only one who accepted and wanted to stay because she had said there was no such freedom where she had lived.

At some point, he had actually wanted to feel sorry for her but he decided against it when he realized the meaning of 'snake.'

"Lord Orochimaru." A servant from sound kneeled before him.

"Yessss…" He hissed.

"At their pace, the chuunins will be here in about one hundred and fifty-five minutes." He said with respect.

"Sssssss… Sasuke…and that pink beauty." He whispered to himself. The things I could teach them… They will be mine…


"Teme! You better not be going the wrong way!" Naruto yelled.

"Hn." Sasuke ignored him, his sharingan on and scanning the area.

"Hinata." Sasuke turned to her.

"R-right." Hinata nodded, knowing what to do.

Sakura and Ino were silent, which was quite odd, but both were side by side.

Sakura was ready for battle as Ino was busy on a small mirror to fix her hair.

Sakura sighed, shaking her head and smiled at her best friend's actions. Ino wouldn't be Ino without this.

"S-Sasuke-san? Four of them are close." Hinata said in a soft voice.

"Hn." Sasuke nodded, his sharingan activated and ready for any attacks.

Sakura sped her pace to reach Sasuke but Naruto blocked her path, hopping the trees backwards, his hands behind his head.

"Naruto." Sakura growled.

"Wait, Sakura-chan!" He waved and wrinkled his nose.

"What?" She raised an eyebrow at the blonde.

"Naruto! Out of the way dumb blonde!" Ino shoved past him with a pale face and too much makeup.

"Tch, blondes." She repeated as she hopped beside Sasuke and Hinata.

Sakura had to laugh at that one, Ino was being… well…

Naruto still didn't get it and when Sakura pointed to their hair colors he had sighed then,

"HEY! INO! YOU'RE BLONDE TOO!" He yelled but forgot to turn around and stumbled down the trees onto the ground.

"Damn it. Loser." Sasuke said angrily.

Hinata looked shocked but blushed anyways.

"Sasuke-san! There's…" She narrowed her eyes to the left, then right.

"Naruto-kun! Get down!" She screamed and threw herself downwards towards the blonde. "Hinata-" She fell on top of him, both laying on the ground and panting, eyes wide. Naruto gulped but made no move to get the extra weight off him. The warmth felt nice to him, of course he wouldn't get her off, plus…

"Hinata-chan, I think you just saved my life." He whispered, his face inching towards hers. Hinata quickly pulled herself off him and wiped the slight dust off her jacket and pants. Naruto got up himself and met an angry Sasuke, a bickering Ino and a serious Sakura with a hot-head. "Damn." He cursed under his breath. All pointed to the left and he saw the huge weapon stuck on the hard oak.

The sharp curved metal with a large brown string hanging on it.

Naruto glanced at the weapon and back at Hinata, he gulped nervously and dropped a frightened sweat.

"Positions." Sasuke said quickly as he avoided a simple shuriken that flew his way.

Sasuke glanced quickly at Sakura, checking if she was unharmed but he wouldn't show that to the rest. She was ok, her short pink hair flew behind her, few strands hiding her beautiful green eyes…

Sasuke shook his head and averted his eyes from her. The mission…

And as he quickly knocked the next few kunais with his, he got in a stance for the real action. "You know your titles." He said to them, his sharingan blazing back and forth and he was very grateful that neither his nor Sakura's curse mark was active.

"I don't know my position!" Ino screamed as she glanced from every direction.

Everyone dropped a sweat but stood at their positions nonetheless.

"Hn… Idiot." Sasuke muttered and nodded at Hinata.

"Hai…" She said softly and went behind Yamanaka.

"I-I'll cover f-for you I-Ino-chan." She stuttered.

Ino raised a brow but did nothing but stare afterwards at the Hyuga girl.


"You know, we could just kill the others with the switch right?" Kabuto noted.

"Yessss, but I want to have some fun. And it will be good to see what they can do. Specially if orange fox-brat is with them."

Kabuto raised an eyebrow at his master's choice of words, then let it go.

Sometimes he wondered why Orochimaru liked to toy with his victims, it only resulted in him having to get there himself and die from trying to kill them, then he has to order Kabuto to get him a new body from his old freezer room.

Kabuto sighed, but complied nonetheless at his requests.

"When they get here… Make sure my new pets get the best service they deserve."

"As you wish Orochimaru-sama." He grinned at his master and disappeared in the darkness.


"Get down!" Sasuke rushed to the girl entering the scene, tackling her away from the kunai/paper bomb. He gritted his teeth in annoyance and got off her before some people got the wrong idea. His guard still on, he glanced quickly and saw how everyone fought enemy after enemy.

That's odd. He though curiously. Not only are they weak… They're! He gritted his once more, tightening his jaw in realization.

"Get back." He muttered to the stranger girl, she merely nodded.

"Sakura." He called from his transmitter.

"Hm? Sasuke-kun? You're ok? Are you hurt in any shape or-"

"Sakura." He cut her off. Jeez!

"Oh, sorry. I'm just scared. My curse mark won't stop itching as well as my hands and I got quarreling inners in my head, splitting my brain in half and I have-"

"Sakura." He sighed. "Evacuate the spot. Now, no questions." He said finally, clicking off and not waiting for her to answer back.

"Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun!" She repeated constantly but the line was dead on the other end. "What are you up to?" She whispered to herself.
