Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!!! Masashi Kishimoto does!!!

Hola, my friends!!! Who's ready for Christmas?! Whoooo!!!! Lol, more ham!!! Well, whatevs. Announcement at the end! READ PLEASE!!! Anyway, I think I should explain why I decided to make Sasori kiss me in the last chappie…

Deidara: Yeah, what's up with that?!

Me: Weeelll…I've been reading Shippuden all out-of-whack AKA out-of-order. I finally read the one where Sasori was fighting Sakura. For some reason, my love for him sky-rocketed…so he's almost at the top with Deidara…

Deidara: …*grabs a flamethrower* Be right back, un…

Me: NOOOO!!!! *chases after him*

"Sasori-Danna, what happened, un?" Deidara asked his partner, who was still sitting quietly in the chair next to the now empty bed. "Did you say something to her?! She didn't look very happy, yeah!!!" Sasori's glance turned to the slightly outraged blonde.

"Chill out, Brat…she just needs some time alone." He was planning on telling his partner what he'd actually done, but seeing as I looked so guilty about it, he decided to keep his mouth shut. Of course, I didn't know what he'd meant when he kissed me either. Deidara scowled, reaching up to rub his forehead.

"Danna, I really don't think she would get that upset for nothing. Didn't you see the look on her face, un?" He asked, clearly a little stressed about letting me go out by myself. Sasori shrugged his shoulders.

"A lot has happened, brat…she'll be fine." Truthfully, he wasn't too enthusiastic about letting me go out either. But he knew I didn't want to be in the same room with both of them until I could calm down. "…Actually…go get her. I have a bad feeling." He closed his eyes. Deidara didn't have to be told twice. He bolted out the door to look for me, unknowing that I was on the roof…with an unwanted guest.

"What the…where the fudge am I?!" A voice yelled from the other side of the room. Sasori turned his head to the now awake Caitlin, who was clearly clueless. "Oh my yiff, I'm in a hospital!!!!" She looked over to Sasori. "WHY AM I HERE?!!?!" The redhead groaned. Looked like he had some explaining to do…

*~*~The Roof~*~*

It took me a few minutes to actually find words to speak. I knew automatically that he was there to take me away. Why else would he come to me? Slowly, I wiped my eyes as the raven continued to stare down at me, his hand on his hip.

"…Are you here…for me?" I asked in a soft voice, words cracking between each other. His eyes narrowed at me, Sharingan activated. For a moment, I felt like I was looking at Itachi again. "…What do you want, Sasuke…?"

"Funny, you haven't thanked me yet." He replied, kneeling down in front of me, his face taut with seriousness. I rose an eyebrow at him.

"That's what you wanted? You wanted me to thank you?" He had saved me from the fire, but he was the one who had caused it in the first place. "Well, I'm not going to…I know your motive Sasuke…and you destroyed that house. You didn't save me because you wanted to. You did it because you had no choice…because you were risking something. I may have been unconscious that whole time, but I'm perfectly capable of coming up with solutions without my friends." He chuckled at the expressionless look I gave him.

"You have far more guts than I believed you to have." He reached out to grab my shoulder, digging his nails into my skin under my clothes. I winced as I tried to push him off.

"Get off of me, Sasuke. I'm not afraid of you and I'm not afraid to scream." I glared at him hard. He rolled his eyes, pulling me up to my feet by the cloth of my shoulder. I snarled at him.

"I like you better when you're a sniveling baby. It would make this so much easier." These words made me snap and I lifted my hand, intent to hit him square in the face but he grabbed my wrist in a faster motion than I could see and slammed me against the wall. The door inside the hospital was right next to me. If only I could reach it.

"It's better than being someone like you, you vengeful, emo dumbshit!" I felt his hand tighten on my wrist and twist it hard, sending pain shooting up my arm. "Crying is perfectly normal when you're upset, but all you ever think about is revenge! You are an idiot, Sasuke Uchiha!"

The look in his eyes only made me feel stronger, but not physically. I wouldn't stand a chance against him. There was another twist in my wrist and his other fist made contact with my stomach. I lurched forward as the breath was knocked out of me, falling against his larger form. He snagged the back of my hair and yanked my head back up.

"I may have saved your ass, but it doesn't mean I'm going to be nice to you. Let's see you try to scream now." He smirked at me. I couldn't believe it…he thought he was the better one, getting stronger to exact revenge on his brother. He didn't even know the real story…

Seeing this in front of me, I began to realize how much more I should be on Itachi's side and not Sasuke's, even in the anime. Mackenzie had told me…and I hadn't listened. I just had some connection to Sasuke in the beginning of the series and he had completely spiraled downwards even before Shippuden.

I took deep breaths, trying to bring air into my lungs. It was so hard to breathe. His arm wrapped over my waist. I suddenly found strength again, trying to push him away, throwing hits at him though none landed. He grumbled, enclosing his hand over my throat.

"I'm telling you right now, come quietly or you will regret it." He warned, squeezing tightly, blocking my airway. I sputtered and coughed, feeling like such a weakling. But I had enough pride to keep fighting. Rolling his eyes again, he brought his hand to the back of my neck, hitting hard on the pressure point. I hadn't even realized I'd been hit until it was all over and I passed out in his arms.

About 5 minutes later, the now frantic blonde came bursting through the roof door, only to see that there was nothing upon the roof and a bunch of the hospital staff was on his ass this time.

"Sir, you aren't supposed to be up here!" One of the doctors said, trying to usher him back inside. He pushed him out of the way.

"She has to be somewhere, yeah!" His blue eyes continued to search the roof until they caught something lying on the ground. Sasori came from behind the crowding staff, peeking out at Deidara as he retrieved the item. Caitlin followed behind him.

"What is it, brat?" He asked, secretly hiding the slight sense of stress he had, even surprising to him. Deidara turned around, dangling the item in his hand. It was my wristband for the hospital.

"Her name's on it…" He muttered, looking over the edge. He knew I wouldn't do something that stupid, but he couldn't believe he'd failed. "Why did I let her go by herself, hm…?" His hand tightened on the wristband, hurriedly walking back through the door. Sasori followed suit as well as the doctors and nurses, but they went their own ways, seeing as they were unsure what was going on.

"Where's Tessa?" Caitlin demanded, looking at both of them with frustration. They were both silent. "Whatever, don't tell me! But I'm leaving with you!" Sasori shook his head.

"Your mother is supposed to pick you up today. So says one of the nurses. Stay here." He told her. She grumbled, crossing her arms and kicking the wall next to her before sitting down in the hallway, refusing to return to her room. He decided to ignore her.

"I'm such an idiot, un…" Deidara mumbled, lowered eyes to the floor as he walked. The redhead could tell he wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

"Let's get back to the house, we have to tell them…we found out who they wanted…" Sasori sighed, his own hand clenching at his side.

*~*~The House~*~*

"Ahhhh, I win again!!! Take it off!!!" Ally yelled, dropping her cards and pointing at Pein. Their little game of regular poker had drifted off into strip poker and Ally somehow won ¾ of the hands. The poor Leader was already stripped down to his boxers, having nothing else but them to take off.

"I really don't want to." He murmered, clearly showing the anger on his face. All the Akatsuki boys didn't seem to want to see it either, so they did not try to encourage it. But all the girls were whooping.

"Come oooon, I won!" Ally whined, throwing a card at him. Kisame rubbed his cheek.

"Pick someone else then, we're getting bored here!" He complained, leaning in the chair to stare across the table. Ally tapped her chin as she played with her beer bottle. She'd gotten a few out after they'd started playing.

"Fine! Mackenzie, take it off!!!" She exclaimed, looking at the half drunk Mackenzie, who's been stripped of every item that didn't involve her main clothes. She'd refused drinking at first, but Ally had forced her to have a beer, which seemed to be enough for her.

The Scottish girl gave a giggle before standing up and pulling her shirt off, tossing it aside. The radio semi-blasting in the room was playing Jay Sean's 'Down' and the girl couldn't help but dance around like an idiot, seemingly lost in her own world. Itachi didn't seem to like this at all and he stood up, being shirtless himself and grabbing the half-naked girl's shoulders, pushing her back in her seat.

"Itachi, stop blocking the fun!!!" Kisame whooped, laughing as his partner glared at him. Mackenzie was still giggling, swinging her feet in her chair as everyone began to babble. Out of the whole group, Kisame was the only one who hadn't been asked to remove any clothes and it irritated him. "Screw this." He muttered, reaching up to yank his shirt off as well, all the girls screaming and covering their eyes at once. "Oh, come on. Give me a chance at least!" Katie peeked out at him.

"Whoa, wait a minute! Were we not paying attention to Kisame at the beach?! Look at him!!!" She exclaimed. Ally and Mackenzie uncovered their eyes, gasping. Kisame's body was damned hot! The only difference was the skin color.

"Wow, I'm sorry we ignored you Kisame!!!" Ally jumped up, reaching down to touch his chest. "Whoooooa! I'm astonished!" Kisame's small eyes rolled.

"Don't be. You never give a guy the benefit of the doubt if he's not the best looking." He replied, making Ally frown a bit.

"Well, I'm sorry that I fear looking at bodies when I'm not even SLIGHTLY sure what may be underneath…" She smiled at him and bounced back to her seat. At the side, Itachi was actually trying to get Mackenzie to put her clothes back on.

"This is getting way out of hand…" He looked at the rest of them. Kakuzu nodded his head in agreement.

"We keep getting beaten by girls and nobody but Leader is close enough to naked…" He closed his green eyes in disgust. Hidan nudged his partner's arm.

"I personally blame all the fucking clothes girls wear." He laughed. For once, Kakuzu chuckled at Hidan's words. Katie flicked the immortal in the head.

"Fine, you want naked?" She asked, kicking off her shorts and tossing off her shirt. Mackenzie fell over giggling for almost no reason and Ally was holding her breath, wondering if Katie would really take everything off now that she was only in her bra and underwear. Either way, Katie had a great body, especially to all the guys.

"Fuck yeah, I do!" Hidan yelled, pumping his fist in the air as she jumped on the table. Ally questioned whether Katie was drunk or not. It was always hard to tell. She was more annoyed than excited though. Hidan didn't care whom his chick flashed to? That was quite odd, even for someone like him.

The rest of the guys were actually watching, though Zetsu was rather quiet about it. Itachi didn't care; he was all over Mackenzie who was falling all over the place. Pein's eyes were turned on Ally as if asking if she'd stop the crazy girl dancing on top of the table.

As soon as Ally opened her mouth to say something, the door opened. "Holy…did we come at a bad time, yeah?!" Deidara asked from the doorway. Everyone turned to the blonde and redhead as they entered the house. Katie quickly jumped from the table and grabbed Hidan's cloak, throwing it over her shoulders. The immortal groaned in protest.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?! You're supposed to be watching the other fucking girl!" He scowled as Mackenzie came to her senses for a moment, sitting up and tossing her shirt on.

"Sorry, guys. We got a little carried away." Ally laughed nervously, looking at both of them. Sasori was emotionless as always but she could see the disappointment on his face. Deidara's face was twisted with rage and…concern? "What's wrong, you guys?"

"…Tessa's gone, un…" Deidara replied, lowering his eyes to the floor. Mackenzie's eyes snapped open and she threw herself towards the blonde, grabbing his shirt.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?! SHE'S DEAD?!?! I THOUGHT HER INJURIES WEREN'T THAT BAD!!!!" She screamed, obviously freaking out. Itachi gently grabbed her and pulled her away, though the girl was tearing up. Deidara shook his head.

"No…little brother has her, doesn't he?" The Uchiha asked, making everyone turn to him. Deidara slowly nodded, holding up the wristband he'd found on the roof. Almost instantly, he dodged a flying lamp.

"YOU DUMB FUCK!!! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING HER!!!!" Ally boomed, storming towards them. Deidara held up his hands.

"Look, un! She said she was going to wander around the hospital! I didn't know she'd gone to the roof, yeah! She just looked so distressed when I walked into the room, I didn't want to stop her!" He explained, expecting a blow to land on his face. But she didn't. Instead, she was looking at Sasori, who was staring at the floor, his head turned slightly at an angle. He looked like he was thinking so hard.

"So…it was Tessa they wanted? But…what for?" Katie asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared at the floor as well. Mackenzie grimaced.

"That's what we still don't know." She replied, her head dropping and her shoulders hunched. "I can't believe he wouldn't tell us! Oh…that emo son of a bitch took her. We have to get her back! Before something bad happens!" Kakuzu stood up and walked into the group.

"How do you suppose we do that? We don't know where they are, how far they are, and I don't think we really have the money to go very far." Ally shot a look at him. Money was not the problem! Katie rubbed her chin.

"This may sound completely idiotic…and totally crazy…but…" She looked at them all. "I think we should go the Hokage…" Ally clenched her fists, as if trying to keep herself from strangling Katie. "Listen to me! Kakashi can summon ninja hounds, right? We could use a few pairs of noses for this. We don't have any other choice, do we?!"

It was silent. But nobody could deny that it was the best idea they had. If they waited too long, something bad would probably happen. Ally looked around at the quiet members and decided that Katie was probably right. She gave a loud sigh, looking once more to Sasori and then to Mackenzie, who looked like she was about to cry again.

"You're right…" She looked to Pein. "Do you think you can track down the Leaf Ninja? I'm sure they haven't gotten far since we last saw them." His ringed eyes blinked in thought.

"I'm sure we could. We'll all just have to try…" He answered. It was still weird to see S-Class criminals worrying and listening to regular human girls. But most of them were just worried about the portal to get home. Katie tossed her clothes back on and grabbed her shoes.

"Then what are we waiting for?! There's no time to rest or lie back! Let's go!!!" She demanded, pulling on her sneakers. Mackenzie rubbed her head.

"I'm still a little dizzy…but I'll try." She muttered, grabbing her shoes and pulling them on. With Katie rushing everyone, they were out the door in 5 minutes. Ally's eyes burned in the back of Sasori's head. Something just felt fishy to her. Then she turned to Deidara, who seemed extremely fidgety. She reached out to touch his shoulder.

"It's okay, Deidara. We'll find her. Don't worry." She assured, receiving a pained glance from the blonde before he continued to stare at his feet. Frowning, Ally moved up, stopping at Sasori's side and walking in rhythm with him.

"Alright, puppet boy. What happened?" She asked, tilting her head. Mackenzie slipped down to walk at Sasori's other side. Sasori glared at them both and continued to look forward.

"Nothing happened." He answered, flatly. Mackenzie watched his face, though it was emotionless, she felt she could see something there.

"Your face before and now tells otherwise." Ally retorted, grabbing his sleeve. "Explain, Sasori…Tessa's not stupid enough to go outside ALONE unless she's upset about something." The redhead knew he wasn't going to get away with this, so he decided to spill.

"I kissed her." He answered, sounding like it was completely normal. Ally and Mackenzie exchanged shocked glances. Ally hit him in the arm.

"Why the hell did you do that?!" She asked, taken back by this. Why WOULD Sasori kiss ANYBODY?! He sighed.

"I don't know…" This answer really ticked Mackenzie off and she hissed a bit.

"I hate it when they say that. I don't know…bullshit." Of course, Sasori was emotionless, so he kind of had the reason. But it still didn't make it any better. "What made you kiss her?"

"…She wouldn't take her medicine, so I made her…and for some reason, I just didn't want to stop. I don't know why she was upset." He didn't like talking about this. It was making him angry and confused at the same time.

Mackenzie's eyes were still bulged. Was it possible…that Sasori actually LIKED me? She looked at Ally and it was clear that she was thinking the same thing. There was an awkward silence between them.

"Sasori…you do realize she loves Deidara, don't you?" Mackenzie asked. His head nodded slowly. "That's why she was upset. Because she kissed another man…" Ally nodded.

"I don't know what to say, Sasori…because I don't know what you feel for her…I don't even think you know yourself. But…I'm afraid you might be out of luck…" Sasori scoffed, quickly walking away from them towards the blonde, since he was being quiet.

"Ally…what do we do?" Mackenzie asked her friend, her eyebrows pulled together in an expression of sadness. Her older friend shook her head as she stared up at the sky, dotted with early day stars.

"We can't worry about it now. We need to focus on saving Tessa now…" She answered, looking forward. Silently, Mackenzie agreed, facing forward as well as they started off towards their rescue.

Me: Hn…long. 83

Sasuke: I'm not that bad, am I?

Me: Gyah!! *throws her pan at him* Oh, Sasuke. Sorry. And yes, you are that bad…
