Yay! A nice long chapter for all my reviewers! You guys are amazing!

Hot Off The Press

She's Killing Me

I stared out the window of the Hyuuga's private jet, trying, and failing, to look like I was excited for winter break. In reality, I missed my mom and dad, and the smell of mom's cooking, and dad hanging the Christmas lights-

Shut the fuck up. I did not agree to going to some rich bastard's ski resort just to hear you mope all day. This Christmas could be so much better then the last few years if you'd just enjoy it.

Go away. As if I need you here to add to my pain.

Well, you're just a fucking ray of sunshine today, aren't you?

Are you calling me fat?

Yes.

BITCH!

"Sakura! I can see the mountains from here!" Ino shouted from her seat next to Tenten.

I sighed, guess it was time to suck it up.

"Deidara-sempai, are we there yet?" Tobi asked his fellow Akatsuki member.

The blonde in question gritted his teeth. He knew ignoring the childish teen would just earn him more pestering.

"For the umpteenth time, un, I don't now, and never will know, when we'll be there. I'm not fucking physic!" Deidara shouted, loud enough for everyone on the plane to hear.

Silence. Deidara counted eight seconds, and then-

"Deidara-sempai, are we-" "PASSENGERS, PLEASE PREPARE FOR LANDING. WE HAVE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION." The intercom blared, blocking out the rest of Tobi's question.

Deidara silently cheered. "Yes, Tobi, un. We're here."

Sakura took in the Hyuuga Hotel. This was where should would be staying for the next two weeks?

To say the place was beautiful was an understatement. It had indoor hot springs in the lounge, room service twenty four/seven, high ceilings with sparkling chandeliers, and a five star restaurant already built in.

Tenten let out a whistle as she stepped into the palace. And without looking, Sakura already knew Ino's eyes were glittering more than the chandeliers ever could. She must be on cloud nine.

"Wait till you see our rooms." Hinata told the starstruck girls, giggling softly. Temari and Karin smirked.

"So this is the famous Hyuuga Hotel?" Itachi asked, glaring up at the building as if telling it "I am better then you."

"No, this is their ski resort." Sasori said, boredly looking at the doorman, who believed that they were in a heated staring contest, and was glaring menacingly at the redhead.

"Well, no point wasting time. Come, minions." Pein said, leading the Akatsuki into the majestic looking ski resort.

Sakura flopped down on the comfy king-size bed. She was so looking forward to getting some sleep.

"FOREHEAD, WE'RE GOING DOWN TO THE HOT SPRINGS!" Ino shouted, loud enough to make Sakura's head ache.

"Have fun with that..." The pinkette mumbled back, already falling into a deep sleep.

Ino shrugged, and her and the rest of the girls headed down to the hot springs, dragging Kiba and Sasuke along with them.

Kisame did a canon ball into one of the hot springs, spraying water and small unfortunate children everywhere.

"Was that really necessary?" Itachi asked, face as impassive as ever.

"Fuck yeah it was, I'm gonna go check this bitch out." Hidan said, and the older Uchiha could tell he was talking about the resort. After a few moments of silence, Itachi heard an all too familiar voice...

"YOU!" Ino shouted, glaring at the group of (sexy) men.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" Tenten asked. Ino was right! She thought. Well, they're not getting our Sakura-chan!

"We're here for the same reason as you, un." Deidara said, smirking slightly.

"Tobi came to have a good time!" Tobi shouted, not noticing the danger in Ino's baby blue eyes.

"LIARS! We know you're trying to steal Sakura away from us!" Karin yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Sasori, who was still in his heated staring contest with the doorman.

"That's completely insane! We wouldn't do something like that!" Kisame said, his face turning more red than blue.

"That's a load of crap!" Kiba yelled, feeling left out.

"Hn. You're all wrong-" "You got us, it's true." Pein said, as Itachi stopped mid-sentence and stared at the orange-haired nut.

Sasori's eyes narrowed suspiciously, but he didn't blink.

"You got us," Pein continued, striding up to Ino and looking her in the eyes. "We want Sakura all for ourselves, and you're just in the way." He stated carelessly.

Ino gaped for a moment, but regained her composure. "Oh no. No, no, no, no, no." The stunning blond turned her fiercest glare on the Akatsuki's leader, and said "There's no way in hell you'll ever take Sakura away from us. This...means...WAR!" Ino cried, pumping her fist in the air.

"A fight for Sakura..." Tenten whispered ominously.

Pein smirked, resisting the urge to stick out his tongue at her. Ino had fallen right into his trap. "May the best man win."

"Tobi didn't know Ino-chan was a man!"

Room 123, wonder what the fuck's in here...? Hidan thought. He had long since ditched the Akatsuki to go around exploring. So far, he had walked in on two naked chicks, one naked dude who looked like a chick (Oro-chan?), and some old fat guy watching porn.

Hidan chuckled. They really should lock these places more securely.

The silver-haired man pushed open the door and was disappointed to find nothing but a girl sleeping in the king-sized bed.

He was about to leave, but something jarred inside his mind. Girl? He looked back, and saw that the girl's pink locks had splayed out all over the pillow her head rested on.

Pink?

If there were a light bulb hanging above Hidan's head right now, it would have been blow to bits by all the electricity being charged into it.

"SAKURA!" He shouted.

I heard somebody yell my name. Loud. Not now, I thought go away. I want sleep!

Either my invader didn't hear me or couldn't read minds, because the next moment, the resort's soft lights were blaring in my face. Jolting me back to reality.

I sat up groggily and let my eyes ajust to the new setting. Unfortunately for me, my green orbs just happened to fall on one bast-person imparticular.

It was Guy About To Get Kicked In The Nuts. And I was about to wipe that smug smirk off his face.

I smirked at the pink bitch when she looked at me. I could tell she was pissed beyond belief. Maybe it was the way she pursed her lips when she was mad, or how her cheeks got so red it looked like she had eaten fire, but something, something, just made the bitch look so fucking hot when she got pissed.

I chucked, hoping to enrage her more. And it worked for the most part; She started throwing pillows at me.

"DAMMIT, STOP DODGING MY PILLOWS YOU SADISTIC BASTARD!"

Fuck, messing with her was hilarious. I was full on laughing now, and the pink bitch just got angrier and angrier. I was about to tease her some more, when i felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket.

I flipped open my pink Razor (it was a fucking gift). It was a text from Kisame.

Yo, we just started a war with pinky's friends over who gets to keep Sakura. Us or Them. Apparently Pein's got something up his sleeve, but if you see Sakura, grab her and run.

~Kisame

That fucking moron, where were we gonna hide the bitch if we're staying at the same resort as her friends?

I looked up at the pink bitch. She'd ran out of pillows and was looking for something else to throw.

Well, if I was gonna grab her...now would be the ideal time.

I flipped my Razor shut.

It was time for action.

I just remembered something, there has yet to be any SakuraXItachi fluff! Oh no, I can't live without my Itasaku. We're gonna have to do something about that. Once again, same old reminders: Vote for who Sakura should end up with on the poll on my profile, Enjoy the chapter, and don't forget to review!
