CHAPTER 11

Sasuke's eyes widened as the red eyes of the nine tailed fox pierced him. For a minute he felt helpless, like Naruto had lost all sense of control and the fox had finally taken over. He pleaded with Naruto.

'Naruto! I'm on your side remember!'

He thought his plea had fallen on deaf ears when suddenly the fox smirked, a familiar glint reaching it's eyes. Naruto had heard him.

He himself smirked slightly before locking eyes with Kakashi who'd seen the exchange. He nodded slightly, enough for Sasuke to know he understood his silent command.

Kakashi lunged at Itachi, who'd expected the attack n had darted off in the opposite direction, jumping from roof to roof.

"Seems like I get a play thing as well…" Itachi said, smirking as he activated his sharingan. Kakashi did the same, preparing to copy everything Itachi threw at him.

Kiba, who'd finally seemed to understand what was going on, nodded to Sasuke and the fox. He swallowed a pill quickly and gave Akamaru one before turning to face Sai.

"Fang Over Fang!" he said before charging. Sai smiled before jumping back, dodging his attack.

"This'll be interesting." He said smirking. "Bring it..."

Kiba charged again, this timed hitting Sai in the chest with a hard blow that sent him back a few metres. His smirk widened. "Interesting" he said simply before pulling out his scrolls.

Madara smiled evilly, realizing also what Sasuke and Naruto had been planning.

"So you brats think that if you separate the three of us you have a chance? I admire your efforts but its not going to work. Its too bad you decided to join them Sasuke, you would've made a wonderful vampire leader after Itachi and myself. Too bad I have to kill you now." He said, his voice filled with sarcasm at his last statement, a smirk forming on his lips.

"Go to hell Madara." Sasuke spat at him, venom lacing every word.

"Oh, is little Sasuke mad at me? Surely you can't say you never expected this from me." He said, his smirk widening.

"Enough with the chit chat. Let's end this" Naruto said, glaring at Madara.

"Gladly.." Madara replied, smiling with an evil glint in his eyes before attacking.

Meanwhile…

Sasuke sped up as he ran through the woods, coming nearer to the old building the vampires used as their hideout-the place where Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru were being held.

It'd been smart for him to make a replica of himself to fight against Madara, but making a strong enough replica to fool even Madara had been hard and had taken allot of energy.

His determination to get Sakura back was the only thing keeping him going at this point. His throat was dry with thirst, and it was maddening running through the woods with all these animals' blood tempting him, but he couldn't stop, not until he'd rescued them. Not until he'd gotten Sakura back.

In the building…

Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru were in the underground section of the house chained tightly to the walls.

Ino shifted her foot slightly, the chain around her ankle shaking slightly. Shikamaru, who'd been laying on the ground for a while now, had given up on trying to find a way out of the chains, calling it "too troublesome to try" before falling asleep on the cold floor.

Ino, who was going mad from the silence had been banging her chained hands on the ground for like forever, her knees up to her chest and her forehead leaning against them.

Sakura sat in complete silence, her eyes dazed as if she was in a far off place, and indeed she was.

Her brain was replaying the events over and over. From Sasuke leaving her, to finding out he was a vampire, to receiving the mission from Naruto to where they were now, chained up in a cold dark room, the only sound being the banging of Ino's hands against the ground. But even as her thoughts replayed over and over she kept asking herself, 'Where is Sasuke? Why isn't he here with me? And why is all this happening?'

She was so lost in her thoughts that she'd failed to hear the creaking of the door as it was opened. She'd failed to see Ino's head snap up at the sound, and failed to realize Shikamaru was finally awake. She'd failed to sense that he was there, failed to sense that he was standing so close to her.

But while she sat in the corner facing the wall head down slightly and lost in her thoughts, she hadn't failed to hear his voice.

"No need to be sad Sakura. Am here now…"

She turned slowly and her eyes met with his. He smiled at her before saying simply,

"Missed me?"
