The all elusive next chapter is finally here. Also since I was really bored I started to read the Gaia manga and noticed something a bit funny. when they were talking about the rejected Olympics I saw a familiar duck butt shaped head, and then later an imp turned into a suspiciously familiar looking blonde, but hey that could just be me xD…anyway time to start. Naruto's PV

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

All I could think was 'fuck.' It was literally the word racing through my head! I was now at Sasuke's mercy, and that was NOT the mercy you would want. In cases of his mercy, you would want death. He stroked my face and I shuddered. He gripped my face and pulled me closer to him. I tried to worm my way out of his touches but it only led to him pulling me closer. We'd left that area rather quickly and I knew when Itachi awoke he wouldn't be able to track me. It would be far to late, and we would have had a very large head start, also from what I can tell Deidara won't be there to help them catch up. We stopped in some random town outside of Kohona and the only thing Sasuke seemed to want to do was…touch me. Not even sexually just touching. Sasuke rented us a couple of room and he didn't seem to mind the close proximity as much as I did. But I needed to find a way to contact Pein, he would be able to save me. Summon my body to his side. I just needed to let him know I was in trouble…the collar! He would know from the collar! But now I just needed to be alone. Maybe when Sasuke left for the bathroom I would make contact…no that wouldn't work, he'd probably take me with him. Sex. That would do the trick. He always did like it better willing. I snuggled up to him and bumped noses with him, trying to tilt my head to get to his lips. He smirked at me and pressed our lips together hard. I opened my mouth against his and he slipped his tongue inside. We had done this so many times that I never really thought it could better…but I was wrong Sasuke must have been practicing or something because he got almost Itachi good at kissing. I broke the kiss for air and he smirked even wider at me.

" Well look who's come around, its about time Naruto." Sasuke said, stroking my cheek. " I missed you…I love you."

" I missed you too Sasuke, and I feel so horrible betraying you, I just…" He shushed me and pulled me closer. It was a lie, all a lie. But hey why should I care? Sasuke's lied to me on more than one occasion, what's one from me? " Sasuke…I want you, but I feel dirty and I don't want you to take me like that so I was wondering if I could shower first…"

He nodded, releasing me. I got up slowly, not to rouse suspicion and headed into the bathroom, relieved that Sasuke didn't get up to follow me. I closed the door and wiped at my lips furiously. Never again. I turned on the water and took off my clothes, just incase he decided to walk in. I also dampened my hair and body quickly, and maybe I was being overly cautious but I didn't care. Better to be overly prepared than being fucked with nothing. I took a breath and touched my collar. How in the hell was I supposed to call Pein on this thing? Ugh why did I think I could in the first place? He can call me not the other way around. I sighed and just stepped into the hot water, it was a stupid plan anyway. And just when I turned around he was there, Leader-Sama was standing against the door frame, he might have been a hollow-gram but it was good enough. He folded his arms and stared at me. I got out of the tub and made my way to him. He reached out to me and his hand passed right through me, reminding me he was only here in spirit.

" What the hell is going on Naruto?" He asked quietly. I hesitated listening for any sounds of Sasuke. Nothing. I sucked in my air and was about to speak when Pein cut me off again. " Deidara is dead and I got worried! And look where you are, in an inn taking a shower. What is the meaning of this?!"

" Pein, its Sasuke, he caught me when everyone was asleep." I said, and I felt a tear roll down my cheek. So I was right, Sasuke DID kill Deidara. He looked down at me and smiled a little. I felt the sting in my chest. " Help.."

" WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" Sasuke yelled bursting the door open. I choked back a scream and Leader-sama's hollow-gram disappeared. Sasuke turned to glare dagger at me. I opened my mouth but he shut it with his fist. I fell against the floor and saw the blood beginning to spill out. The Uchiha leaned down and touched one of the chakra receptors. " Without these, he won't be able to find you, isn't that right Naruto?"

He pulled them out, starting at my ears, one by one, ripping the skin without any compassion for my pain. Sasuke gripped the last one, the one in my lip and stared down at me. I was no doubt crying from the pain and my hair and skin had got to be stained with my blood. And he released the last one, deciding maybe I had suffered enough. I felt myself slowly become more numb. Probably from the blood loss. Who knew your ears could bleed so much. Sasuke picked me up and set me back down in the bottom of the tub. The water was now cold from being on for so long but I didn't care, as long as it washed the blood away. He sat by the tub with me, and stared at my collar, reaching out to feel the metal under his fingers. I moaned a little as the blood loss made my head cloudy. I reached out and caressed Sasuke's sleeve, and he was the one to pull back this time. I groaned and my hand slid down the side of the tub because it felt like my arm was made of weights I couldn't lift. That's when Sasuke noticed it to, and he picked me up and even though I was naked took me outside, across the hall to that girl who was following him. He knocked on her door and she opened it, completely delighted that he was there, but then her enthusiasm faded as soon as she realized that I was in his arms, bleeding.

" Give him your arm Karin." Sasuke said, harshly. But she obliged. I had no idea what to do with her arm until she pulled up her sleeve and I saw all of those bite marks. I felt myself retch a little, but not enough to cause a fuss. Sasuke forced her arm into my mouth but I refused to bite down. But Sasuke was able to do that for me as well. I could taste her blood in my mouth and then feel the wounds on my ears closing up. Her chakra could heal things so easily? No wonder Sasuke kept her around. He nodded his thanks to her and brought me back to the room. He set me down on the bed and I tried to roll over, away from him but he just pulled me back. " How do you get it off?"

" What?" I asked, still feeling woozy. He pulled at my collar and I took in a deep breath. " Ring. You need an Akatsuki's ring."

Sasuke pulled the ring off my pinky and I waited for the all to familiar click. The collar fell to the ground and I rubbed the sore spot on my neck. He smirked at me and put his lips against my neck, massaging it with them. I moaned a little and that only seemed to encourage more touching from him. My head swam, the mixture of pleasure and the lightheadedness of the blood loss. I was confused about whether or not I should just let Sasuke take what he wanted. If I did he would probably fall asleep and leave me alone for awhile. On the other hand though, if I gave it up willingly he would think I'm finally submitting to him. I needed to do something, something that would completely kill the mood. Orochimaru would totally do that. Even I could tell that Sasuke utterly loathed him.

" How did you do it? How did you kill the snake-bastard?" I asked. " I've always wanted to know…" He completely stopped his ministrations and looked at me. The look totally spelled out that he didn't want to talk about it but I didn't care, I just wanted a quick way out of this. He sighed and sat up next to me.

" How do you think? I made him think he had control over me and when he got to cocky I crushed his heart with my Chidori." Sasuke said, pushing my hair out of my face. " Seduction is the key to success in assassination attempts my dear dobe. But even I was foolish enough to fall for your seduction."

I blushed a little and he smirked at me. I knew that meant that he wouldn't fall for it ever again. Unless I was being very tricky with what I did. He cupped my face in his hand and stared at me. It was kinda creepy in a way but in a different way, I liked it. It was like Sasuke was actually looking at me, not through. I opened my mouth to speak but the Uchiha silenced me with his. He flipped me onto my back and deepened the kiss. I moaned and he pinched one of my nipples. I knew he was still happy about me being naked. No clothes to get in his way. He broke the kiss and looked at me again. I knew it was wrong but I really wanted this…I wanted Sasuke. I kissed him this time and I sealed my fate.

Quick Sakura's PV

I can't believe this. She's dying. Botan is dying and I don't have any idea what to do. She was able to kill Sasori and Kakuzu without any problems but as soon as she stopped she fell to the ground, vomiting up blood. Maybe that jutsu she used on Hidan really was a self-sacrificing one. Sai and Jiraiya managed to wake up as soon as all the action was over. Yamato was pacing back and forth, he had sent a hawk back to Kohona containing the details of what had happened. But Botan acted like nothing had happened. She remained smug and even threatened to kill me if I cried. She spit up more blood and it landed next to Sai's feet, he took a step back, making sure to keep his distance. She looked up at me and smirked, blood staining her lips.

" You guys really shouldn't be worrying about what will happen to me. Only my human body will die, the real demon inside will be alive and I'll be back. You can count on that." She said. Blood dribbled out of his mouth, and she coughed. " It doesn't even hurt, I'm numb to the pain. Go ahead and leave me. Find Sasuke and Naruto, and give Sasuke a good kick in the ass for me, will ya? Eye candy like him shouldn't play like that."

I laughed a little bit and she smirked. Jiraiya leaned down to assess how bad it really was. " So kid what did you do to yourself?" He asked.

" I sealed that Jashin freak inside me and his soul didn't sit to pretty with my human one. So he's tearing me apart from the inside out. But he will be sealed within my human body so when I die, his soul will be released to the underworld. See how his god treats him then." Botan explained. " But like I said, it takes more than just internal injuries to get me to scream in pain. My time is here, I feel it. Maybe if you guys are lucky my mother will be able to find another body suitable for me to live in so I can be summoned again to help you."

That's when she stopped. Everything about her stopped, her skin withered up and wrinkled. Her eyes dried up and fell out. Her red hair shortened and got so grey it looked white. Sai cut a lock of it and summon up an ink bird. I looked at him questioningly, Yamato had just sent a bird, why didn't he send that with the first one?

" Her mother will need to know about this so she can find another body." Sai said. " But this one did last her awhile. Much longer than the rest. She's lucky it didn't start to decay like her last one."

" When you say find her a new body what do you mean?" I asked.

" I mean they actually have to wait for someone to die, so she can take over because it'll be an empty shell. Its kinda like what Orochimaru did." Sai said turning around to face away from Botan's host's corpse.

" Ok enough of the chit-chat, we really need to move out." Jiraiya said, " We've already wasted enough time here." We all got up and followed slowly after Jiraiya. I felt bad for leaving the body there, but we couldn't take it with us. The only thing I felt was regret. If I was stronger Botan wouldn't have died. It was all my fault.
