DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.

"SAKURA!!!" Naruto yelled.

Sasuke and Neji quickly glanced at where Sakura was standing a while ago. But before they could even react, she was already gone.

Sakura was swept away from the ground by a ninja. He covered her mouth with a cloth full of sleeping powder. She was slung on the shoulder then they disappeared, shortly followed by Naruto screaming her name.

Naruto chased the ninja. He quickly returned when they were already a bit far.

"What happened, Dope?" Sasuke asked calmly.

"Sakura gasp kidnapped gasp gone gasp" he answered in-between breaths.

"Is it so hard to speak one goddamn sentence?" Neji said, quite irritated. Naruto pointed to where Sakura was taken. Sasuke and Neji automatically activated their Sharingan and Byakkugan. They left the others behind without a single glance and ran straight to where Naruto pointed.

All the remaining people blinked then sweatdropped.

Sasuke and Neji...

The two ran through the forest and squinted for any sign of Sakura. Neji looked at Sasuke.

'We'll see who's the right one for her.' he thought. He ran faster ahead.

'So, Hyuuga wants a race, huh? Fine then, he'll get what he wants.' Sasuke thought. So they raced through the forest.

Back to the teams...

Naruto and Rock Lee were pacing back and forth, thinking about the safety of Sakura.

"Naruto-kun, please stop it." Hinata said.

"You're giving me a migraine." Shino said.

"Shut up, Shino."

"Hmm...why did Sasuke-kun ran away so fast." Ino asked, probably herself.

"And Neji too." Shika added.

"WILL YOU STOP POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE?!" Ino yelled.

"God, how troublesome." he muttered.

"Ok, how're we gonna find a transportation to catch up with those two bastards?" Naruto quoted.

"How many times should I tell you this, you loud-mouthed idiot that MY Sasuke-kun is not a BASTARD!" Ino reminded him.

"Whatever."

"Hey look, there's a train!" Rock Lee exclaimed (A/N: I know there's no high-tech transportations in Naruto but this is fanFICTION, anything's possible).

"Where?" they all shouted in unison.

'Hehehe...those two bastards are not that smart.' Naruto thought with a wide, menacing grin.

"Come on let's go!" Chouji shouted.

Neji and Sasuke...

The trees were already thick. Yet, the rivals are still jumping on the trees, searching for any sign of the kidnapped girl. Suddenly, Neji stopped.

"Hyuuga, what're you doing? We still NEED to rescue her!" Sasuke said, annoyed.

"Uchiha, we still have some extra time..." Neji trailed off (A/N: This is not a shounen-ai!).

"So?" Sasuke answered, quite interested on the idea.

"Wanna have a duel?" Neji asked seriously.

"Why?"

"Let's settle the thing about HER." He replied, emphasizing the last word.

"With that, they both turned into their fighting stance. They were both smirking evily.

"SHARINGAN!"

"BYAKKUGAN!"

And yes, the duel full of insults began.

Sasuke was the first one to attack with a shurinken in hand. He threw it at Neji who easily dodged the attack.

"Do you think you can win at this rate?" Neji said.

"Don't let your mouth do the talking." Sasuke answered, almost hitting Neji with a new approach.

"I'll grind your skin with my own bare hands, Uchiha."

"I'll kick you where the sun doesn't shine, Hyuuga."

They sent each other death glares.

They were both charging at each other with Neji using the Gentle Fist and Sasuke with the fire ninjutsu. They were suppose to hit each other...

"STOP IT!" Kiba shouted. But it just fell on deaf ears.

Before the two even know it, Rock Lee was holding back Neji while Naruto doing the same thing with Sasuke.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" all the others shouted.

"I suggest you all shut up 'coz you're all here already." Sasuke said coldly, still glaring at Neji.

Neji's Byakkugan was still activated.

"I sense her chakra." he said. "...over there." He pointed in a particular diraection.

"Let's go!" Rock Lee shouted.

Meanwhile...

In the depths of the forest, a dust old warehouse stood. And inside, an event that is hurtful to the eyes is about to happen. Someone awakening, to see her unexpected future...
