"Sasuke, come to the dark side...we have cookies." Orochimaru smirked evilly, scaring the shit out of his bitch, Kabuto, and his newest bitch, Sasuke.

"Get the hell away from me, you pedophile!" Sasuke snarled, ready to use some of the kung fu he and Naruto used to practice.

Currently, they were all in a large black van with tinted windows. Kabuto was driving, Orochimaru was riding shotgun, and Sasuke was tied up in the back seat. All he could remember was being knocked out in the empty school gymnasium, and when he woke up he was here.

Orochimaru laughed ominously. "I can't do that, Sasuke-kun, as it would interfere with my plan. He turned around in his seat and stroked Sasuke's chin. "Such a pretty face, such a shame what we have planned for you."

Sasuke's eyes got wide, but he hid his fear as best he could and ripped his chin out of Orochimaru's grasp. "Fuck off."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Feisty,"

"Overlord Orochimaru-sama," Kabuto said, keeping his eyes on the road like a good evil minion.

"Yes bitch?"

"We are about twenty minutes from our destination."

"Ah, good," He looked back at Sasuke, "It won't be long now before that the Pink One feels my avenging wrath." The smirk that spread across his pale face was enough to made a baby cry.

"Bitch?"

"Yes Overlord Orochimaru-sama?"

"Do you think I could pull of a mustache?"

"Of course you could, Overlord Orochimaru-sama."

"That's what I thought."

Sasuke pfft'd. "You'd look like a gay Hitler."

Orochimaru grinned at his newest bitch. "Why, thank you!"

.

"DANANANA! TOBI'S ON A RESCUE MISSION!"

"Tobi, would you please calm down and drive the car?"

"Why the fuck are we letting him drive anyway? Didn't he crash into a bunch of trees last time?"

"What do you care? Your van is apparently just as immortal as you."

"Fuck yeah. That doesn't mean I want his greasy hands all over my baby though."

Sakura sighed, wondering idly why, of all people, she had called the Akatsuki to help her save Sasuke. She stole a hesitant glance over at Itachi.

Why does he look so calm? He does realize that Orochimaru has his brother, right?

Of course he does, haven't you realized that this is just how he deals with things?

Yeah, but still...

He's worried, I can tell. You should try to console him.

But I'm scared too!

So you can both be scared together.

Sakura took a shaky breath, realizing her inner was right. She unbuckled her seat belt and crept slowly over to the other end of the row of seats, to the one that Itachi was occupying.

"Hey," She smiled, but it came out as more of a grimace.

Itachi made no movement to show that he knew she was there, but his finger twitched slightly. He does that when he's worried; draws into his own little world.

With a burst of courage, Sakura reached out and grabbed his hand, surprising the dark haired teen into looking over at her with shocked eyes. "It'll be okay," She said gently, "We'll get Sasuke back."

At that, Itachi managed a small, very small, smile. "I wouldn't worry too much," He said, "My foolish little brother knows how to take care of himself."

"TOBI SPIES WITH HIS LITTLE EYE A TRAFFIC LIGHT!"

"YOU FUCKING MORON, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT IS RED!"

Tobi took one hand off the steering wheel and held it in front of Hidan's face in a 'don't fuck with da Tobi' gesture. "Tobi is trying to drive. Bitch."

To shocked to speak, Hidan reverted into his earlier silence. As did the rest of them, not that Sakura minded; Itachi was still holding her hand.

.

.

Orochimaru had his 'you gonna get raped face' on. This scared Sasuke deeply.

"Kabuto?"

"Yes, master?"

"I think it's time we picked up our...prodigy."

Kabuto smirked. "Yes, sir. I'll call them up right now." He whipped out a pink razor and hit one of the speed dial buttons. "Hello? Yes, It' Kabuto. Listen, we're coming to pick you up, Juugo will fill you in. Be at the south train station in fifteen minutes. Bye."

Kabuto shut the phone and slipped it back in his pocket. Sasuke's eye twitched. Something about that name-Juugo-sounded familiar. Then it clicked. Juugo was that intimidating senior that transferred to Konoha High two weeks ago. What was he doing hanging out with the rape crew?

Sensing his captive's confusion, Orochimaru smirked at Sasuke. "No need to worry about that now, Sasuke. You'll understand everything soon enough."

That was it. Sasuke needed to figure a way out of this, and fast.

.

.

.

.

"So...anyone know where we're going?" Sakura asked the group. They were now officially out of Suna, but still had no idea where Orochimaru might be.

"Well," Pein put a hand on his chin. "If Sasuke was kidnapped in Konoha, there's little chance they've made it out of the town yet. We should go there and do some investigating."

Sakura frowned. "But that could take forever! Who knows wha-" Her cry was cut off but the sound of her cellphone ring tone 'sexyback' playing.

There were a few immature giggles before Sakura flipped open her phone. "Hello?"

"Sakura Haruno?" A girl's voice, slightly familiar, asked from the other line.

"Yes? Who is this?"

"You don't need to know that. You just need to know that we have your friend Sasuke, and that we're willing to trade for him."

"What do you want?"

"You to stay away from the Akatsuki. They belong to Orochimaru. Bring them to the south train station, and you can have Sasuke back."

The line went dead. Sakura dropped the phone.

"Sakura? Sakura! What did they say?"

"Are you okay, un?"

"Who the fuck was it!"

Sakura took a deep and shaky breath. What should she tell them? How much should she tell them? She looked around at all the worried faces of the Akatsuki, realizing that they were worried for her. A month ago, Sakura would've given them up without a second thought. But this wasn't a month ago, this was now, and she had to make a choice.

She shook her head and brushed her hair out of her face. "It was Orochimaru. He's holding Sasuke at the south train station."

Pein nodded, turned to Tobi, and with no protest from Sakura, said "Step on it."

And you bet they did.

.

.

.

.

Sasuke nearly choked. "Karin? Suigetsu? JUUGO? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?"

Karin rolled her blood red eyes. "We're helping Orochimaru with his plot to kill the Akatsuki for not letting him join them. Duh. By the way, you look really hot in bondage." She smiled and licked her lips.

Suigetsu smacked his forehead. "Way to not give away our entire plan! And...ew."

"Shut up, aquaboy!" Karin snarled. Juugo sighed loudly, getting the attention of everyone in the deserted train station.

"Orochimaru-sama, when are they going to get here?" He asked dutifully.

The pedophile in question shook his head at the boy and smirked evilly. "Patience, my bitches, we still have another hour to prepare."

They all smirked similarly, save for Sasuke, who was trying to hide the fact that he was scared shitless.

He took a look at his surroundings, trying to find the closest exit. The only door in the entire place was straight across from his seat on a bench, and it was guarded by Kabuto. IT seemed like he was trapped. Sasuke sighed and cast his gaze to the dirty tiles, then his eyes widened as an idea popped into his head.

He cast a glance over at Orochimaru's circle, making sure they weren't paying attention to him, and scooted over to the other end of the bench. Just as he thought, the wood it was made out of was jagged and unsanded, especially the end corner he was close to.

Both his hands were tied together behind his back, which worked in his favor for what he was about to try. He bend forward and put the rope that tied his hands together against the rough bench edged and pushed it bad and forth like a saw. The rope began to give out after about two minutes. Sasuke smirked.

.

.

.

.

"Tobi thinks we're here." Tobi said in an uncharacteristically ominous voice. He slowly began to open the door, but was stopped by Sakura.

"Wait! We-uh, we can't just barge in there! We need a plan!" She spat out nervously. None of the Akatsuki knew the real reason she was so jumpy.

To everyone's surprise, it was Kakuzu who answered her. "She's right, we can't just go in there only to find there's a trap waiting for us inside."

Sakura's jaw dropped. she didn't even think Kakzuzu liked her, but here he was agreeing with her. She quickly pulled herself together, though.

"So what should we do?"

"I have an idea." To everyone surprise, once again, it was Zetsu who spoke in a slow monotone.

Pein raised his eyebrows. "And that would be?"

.

.

.

.

"This is Pink Princess to The Terminator, do you see anything?" Sakura whispered into her walkie talkie. Currently, they were inspecting the outside of the station, which so far seemed deserted.

"Terminator to Pink Princess. No, There's nothing over here, over and out." The walkie talkie crackled off, then back to life. "Snoop Dog wants to know who came up with these lame-ass code names?"

It crackled again. "Tob-Twinklebutt did! Sakura-chan likes them, don't you Sakura-chan!"

"Shut up!" Someone else hissed, "You're gonna blow our whole plan!"

"All of you, stop talking so loud." Sakura whispered, "Pink Princess to Darth Vader, have you got anything?"

"It all quite around here, nothing but weeds."

"Green Lantern to Darth Vader, did you say something about weeds?"

"Don't get too excited, their all dead."

"Even better."

Sakura sweatdropped. why did she ask these guys to help her again? "Guys, keep looking! There has to be a peephole or some..." She trailed off as something on the wall she was inspecting caught her eye. It was a tiny air vent, small enough for her to fit through but definitely not one of the boys.

"This is Jaws to Pink Princess, are you still there?"

"Yeah," Sakura mumbled distractedly. "I haven't found anything." She said a little louder, making up her mind. "We'll just have to keep looking. Over and out."

Sakura flicked off the walkie talkie so the guys wouldn't hear her pull out the screwdriver she had grabbed from Hidan's car when no one was looking. She undid each screw holding the vent to the wall very quietly, and then slowly eased it off.

The vent was bigger than she had originally thought, Sakura mused. She slipped the walkie talkie in her jacket pocket and crawled into the vent hole. Hopefully, she would be in and out with Sasuke before the boys even noticed she was gone.

.

.

.

Sasuke Uchiha was smirking. And no, not because he knew he was getting laid tonight.

Oh no, Sasuke Uchiha was smirking because he had sawed off the bindings on his wrists, and could now until his feet and quietly sneak away from his captors.

"Sasuke." Orochimaru spoke, and the boy in question held his hands behind his back as if they were still tied together. "I think it's time we got to-"

"Orochimaru-sama!" Karin cut him off. Orochimaru's eye twitched.

"What? this betetr be good, I was in the middle of explaining my evil plot."

"Karin already did that for you." Suigetsu smirked. Karin elbowed him in the stomach.

"Do you guys hear that?" She asked, as Suigetsu clutched his stomach and moaned in pain behind her.

"Hear what?" Juugo asked, looking at her curiously. And then they heard it.

It was a light clinking noise, as though someone was repeatedly elbowing thin metal, or, Orochimaru smirked at the thought, as if someone was crawling around in the vents. And he knew exactly who that someone was.

"It would appear that we have a guest," He said calmly, "Juugo, grab that plastic harry potter sword and pound on the vents with it." Juugo did as told, running over to the train station gift shop and grabbing the fake Godric Gryffindor sword, he pushed up the ceiling tiles and pounded on the vents.

.

.

.

.

Someone was trying to break the vents, Sakura could tell. If she didn't move faster, she'd end up right in the midle of the people she was trying to avoid.

The vent shook from the continuous hits against it. A little ahead of her, there was an opening in the vent system that she could look out of. Sakura power-crawled over to it and looked down into the train station.

"Sasuke!" She cried softly. He was sitting on one of the benches, bound by rope and for all the world trying to look strong. Sakura's eyes softened. Then she spotted Juugo, who was beating the shit out of the vent, and Karin, who was beating the shit out of Suigetsu. Kabuto was standing by the door and Orochimaru was smirking like the pedosnake that he was.

There was a crack, and then Sakura was sliding down the vent and falling out onto the train station's dirty tile floors. "Ugh," She groaned.

Karin stopped beating up Suigetsu and smirked. "Well, well, well, if it isn't little Mrs. goodie two shoes herself."

Sakura ignored her, instead choosing to calmly stand up and dust herself off. She locked eyes with Orochimaru. "You. Kidnapped. My. Friend."

"Yes, I did," He said boredly, "But I also told you I'd be willing to make a trade-" He looked around the station, "But it looks like you forgot to bring your end of the deal."

"Shut the hell up, you fucking pedosnake!" Sakura snarled. She pointed an accusing finger at Orochimaru. "You WILL give me back Sasuke, and you WILL leave me and my friends the hell alone!"

Orochimaru smiled in a deranged sort of way. "Or else what?"

Sakura smirked, he had played right into her trap. "Or else we'll have to show you exactly why you never mess with the rookie nine, whether we live in Konoha or wherever."

"We? I only see your puny little self." Orochimaru scoffed.

"Oh really?" Sakura asked sweetly. "Ino, NOW!" the 'now' was shouted by both her and Sasuke, who had managed to free himself while Sakura made a distraction, just as she had planned on happening.

Suddenly, Ino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, Shino, Choji, and even Sai burst through the door. They each looked ready for a fight, clad in camo and carrying things like planks of wood and shook up bottles of soda pop.

"GET THEM!" Ino yelled, and so the fighting began. Ino and Sakura ganged up on Karin and pulled at her hair until she scream, while Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba went after Suigetsu. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sai tried to get the sword from Juugo, and had no luck until Naruto threw his cup of instant ramen in his face and Juugo dropped the sword in favor of cradling his face. "Believe it!" Naruto yelled.

"Griffindork." Sasuke smirked. Naruto bopped him on the head with the sword handle. "Hey! Careful with that thing!"

"Call in backup!" Orochimaru ordered Kabuto. He did as told and seconds later more Orominions showed up.

"Dammit!" Sakura cursed. They were outnumbered. A fat looking guy with a purple bow around his waist was headed towards her, so she did the only thing left to do. Sakura pulled out her walkie talkie and shouted into the speaker, "GUY! GET YOUR ASSES IN THE TRAIN STATION! WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

Almost instantly, nine ready-to-kick-ass gang members pushed past Kabuto and sprang into action. Sakura ran over to them and explained what was going on.

"Why didn't you just tell us you were going in, dammit!" Deidara shouted over the noise of the fight.

Sakura shooker her head, "I didn't want you guys to get hurt. Sasuke is my friend! Not yours!"

"Bullshit!" Hidan screamed, whilst beating the shit out of Kabuto. "Why would we come all this way if we were a bunch of scared ass pussies?"

"Really, Sakura! What were you thinking?" Sasori yelled at her, fending off two orominions with one hand. "We care about you too much to let you do something this dangerous!"

Sakura wiped a stray tear from her eye. "You guys care about me?"

"OF COURSE!" They all shouted simultaneously. The moment was cut short, howver, by Orochimaru's evil laugh.

"MWAHAHAHA! You fools! You actually think you can beat me? I've killed more people then you even know, mafia bosses fear me! You think a bunch of teenage kids are a match for me?"

The noise of sirens reached over the fighting and Orochimaru's maniacal laughter. Sakura smirked, "Of course not. That't why we called the police before hand."

.

.

.

.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Orochimaru screamed as he was put into the back of the police van with the rest of his minions. It looked like a tight squeeze.

"Yeah, yeah," Sakura mocked, "You'll be back. We know."

Orochimaru snarled at her, "You. This is all your fault. You meddling kids!"

The Akatsuki grinned proudly, exept for Zetsu, Itachi, and Kakuzu, who didn't do the whole 'smile' thing.

Sakura sighed as she watched her Konoha friends gather into Ino's BMW. "Bye Sakura!" She called, "I'll see you this Christmas!"

"Yeah!" She smiled tiredly back, "Bye!" Sakura watched as Ino waved, and was prepared to drive off when Sasuke whispered something to her. she smiled, nodded, and beckoned Sakura to come closer. She did and the Akatsuki followed.

Sasuke slid out of the car and walked over to her. "Thanks for saving me," He said, looking at the ground awkwardly.

"No problem," Sakura laughed. "Just try not to get kidnapped by anymore pedophiles."

"I'll do my best," Sasuke smirked. He glanced over her shoulder at the Akatsuki and his face turned serious. Sakura already knew what he was going to say and groaned.

"I'm not going to let them corrupt me, Sasuke." She said to console him. Still, Sasuke looked worried and maybe a little...jealous?

"I still don't like you hanging out with them." He said.

"They helped me save you. And don't forget that one of 'them' is your older brother."

Sasuke's face hardened. "Exactly. You don't know Itachi like I do, he's not as great as you think."

Sakura sighed, "Frankly, I don't care. I"m tired and I wanna go home, Sasuke, so please. I'll see you winter break."

She turned to leave, but Sasuke grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He turned her back towards him and grabbed the back of her head with his free hand, and kissed her.

Sasuke kissed her.

Sasuke is kissing me.

I can see that, do you plan on kissing him back?

I think I am.

"Okay, Okay," Pein's loud voice broke the moment. "Time for us to go, Sakura." He pulled her away and sent Sasuke a death glare, to which he just smirked smugly at. "Later, Sak-ur-a," He turned to her, ignoring Pein's and the rest of the Akatsuki's snarls. "I'll see you later." And on that note, Sasuke climbed back into Ino's BMW and they drove off, leaving Sakura with her new Suna friends.

"Hehehe..." she laughed awkwardly. "Well, I sure am tired, let's go!" She skipped over to the pedovan.

Itachi shook his head at her antics, "What is it about her that drives everyone crazy?" He asked no one in particular.

"I don't know, but I like it." Hidan smirked. Sasori rolled his eyes, "We all do, but I'm the one that gets her for homecoming tomorrow night."

"We'll see about that, un," Deidara boasted. "She may just get tired of you and come dance with me."

"Everyone knows blue is her favorite color," Kisame smirked. "Obviously, she likes me best."

"Oh, yeah? Wanna bet?"

Kisame huffed. "Yeah, I do!"

"Did someone say bet?" Kakuzu interjected.

Zetsu nodded, "They all think Sakura wants to dance with them at homecoming." He explained. "But we all know she likes the mysterious type." Evil Zetsu hinted.

"A bet it is. How about this: Whoever gets Sakura to leave with them at the end of homecoming gets fifty bucks each from the rest of us."

"Deal." They all said.

Pein smirked devilishly, "Let the games begin."
