So twenty five flash backs and evil glares later, and a little change to the script, Sakura didn't faint, Naruto stood at her side, ready to fight with his team mate and Sasuke stood to the side sulking about his little run in with Itachi.

He looked up and glared accusingly at Orochimaru, "He was the one you were going to lock me up in my room to have pillow fights with, wasn't he! Sakura was right!"

Orochimaru twitched in annoyance at the girl who was causing him so much trouble. He ought to just squish her into dust now. He squinted his eyes at her.

"No…she lied!"

"Ugh. Sakura never lies. And if she intends to, she doesn't say anything at all! So you know she's lying."

"Curse my lack of information!"

"Yes, you should have known that one," Sakura put in.

"Quiet, girl," The Snake-Man growled, growing further tired of her.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and planted his hands on his hip, which was thrust out to the side in a rather feminine manner, "Uh, can we get back to me now? What about your betrayal to me, Orochimaru!"

Said man rolled his eyes and pointed at his face with a dry reply, "I'm the villain, remember?"

Sakura, figuring out it was a dry reply he was making, wondered how anyone as slimy and as snake like as Orochimaru could possibly make a dry anything.

She also wondered it was taking so long for any action to happen, to which the authoress replied to her mind mysteriously, "So I can make this story last for ten chapters, and then prove that I can indeed actually write a full story, that isn't actually full because it's only got three pages to each chapter."

The pink haired girl wondered if she was going mad. It was basically the whole scenario where you're home alone, bored, and you start to wonder about things, especially the possibility that maybe we're all characters in a story, and that the authoress is a character in another story written about writing stories.

Sasuke, Orochimaru and Naruto were all staring at Sakura as she stood there with a dazed expression in her emerald eyes.

"I wonder what she's thinking about," muttered Naruto, waving a hand in her face, which she slapped away almost immediately without breaking out of her thoughts.

The blonde stared down at his hand in horror, which was bent right back to the forearm. He started screaming hysterically, which actually succeeded in snapping Sakura out of her daze. Her eyes went wide when she discovered what she did to Naruto and she had to hold him on her lap like a child and heal the damage.

"I'm so, so, so, so, so sorry! I was thinking – I didn't realize, I am so sorry, Naruto!"

Sasuke, who had finally given up on the feeling-sorry-for-himself-to-get-attention thing, was looking down at his old team mate with mild interest. Orochimaru was edging towards the exit, so he could yell for Kabuto.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Oh, you know, the mysteries of life and stuff," Sakura smiled sweetly and seeing the Uchiha's clearly not amused expression, she unconsciously gripped Naruto's finger and wrenched it backwards, eliciting a sharp scream from the boy.

Watching the other two interact with each other caused a sharp pain in Sasuke's heart. It was a foreign feeling. He wondered if it was because he'd always felt so lonely and now seeing his only friends so happy without him increased that feeling one hundred fold…or maybe he was just feeling Naruto's pain. He decided to settle for the second, more Sasuke choice.

"Whoops! Sorry about that...again!"

"Sakura-chan? Just heal it and don't hurt me…please. Hinata will cry."

"Oh, so you finally realized that Hinata loves you?" Sasuke smirked, "I thought you'd never figure it out." He seemed to be oblivious to Sakura making jerking motions at her neck. Hmmm, I wonder what's up with that…

"H-Hinata l-loves me…?"

Oh.

Sakura picked up a nearby rock and hurled it at his face.

Oooooooooooooooo

"Kabuto! Psssst! You there!" Whispered Orochimaru so loudly that there really wasn't any point in him whispering, besides, Sasuke and Sakura were beating the hell out of each other and Naruto was curled in the fetal position whimpering. He wouldn't be caught.

He was standing outside of what was once his throne room, but was now…something else.

"You called, Orochimaru-sama?"

"I think it is time that we end this. Capturing the Kyuubi is far too dangerous. We will have to wait for another opportunity to arise," He leaned over and glanced into the room, where Sakura was beating a screaming Sasuke into submission with her mad strength, "I don't think Sasuke-kun will survive if we wait any longer, either."

A particularly pain filled screech entered the hall where the two men stood and they visibly shuddered, covering their manly parts.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Sympathizing with Sasuke's obvious pain, (He was rolling around the floor, dangerously close to the edge of the split, crying pitifully.) Naruto leapt to his feet, vowing to talk to Hinata when he returned home, and he would, and tackled Sakura from behind, who had been attempting to kick the Uchiha down the hole in the floor.

"Gah!"

"Calm down, Sakura-chan!"

"Okay, okay!"

Naruto released his hold on the girl and stood up, holding a hand out to her, which she took if a little hesitantly. She walked over to Sasuke and nudged him in the side with her foot. He groaned in response.

"Eh…Sorry 'bout that Sasuke! I guess I got a little carried away, heheh," She rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.

"Groaaaaan."

All three snapped to attention when the lights suddenly cut off and the room filled with an odd sort of smog that seemed to cling to every inch of their bodies and explore. Naruto and Sakura twitched, knowing exactly who would have perverted smog. The pink haired girl suddenly felt sorry for Tsunade having to grow up with two perverts. She only had to deal with one, and that was only occasionally. She smacked Naruto over the head and he yelped.

"Hey! What was that for!"

"It was for all the poor women out there, who get preyed on by you perverts!"

"Wha!"

"Silence! I'll believe none of your lies."

"Okay."

Orochimaru must have decided that he was sick of the attention not being on him and his smog, so he coughed expectantly and all three teens began to scream in terror. Sasuke was far too cool to actually scream in terror, so he screamed sarcastically.

All three teens, Orochimaru and Kabuto were simultaneously transported to the Forest of Death. There was a collective groan from just about everyone but Orochimaru.

"We're here again!"

Naruto rubbed his belly, remembering.

Sasuke rubbed his neck, remembering.

Sakura stared at her new hairstyle and shrugged. She was pretty happy with her short hair.

"Are you ready…for Mortal Kombat!"

All of a sudden, at those words, dodgy techno music from the film Mortal Kombat echoed throughout the forest from god knows where, including all of its words of 'Choose your destiny!' and 'Flawless victory!'.

Naruto and Sakura wondered if it was possible for Orochimaru to seem even more insane than he was before.

Sasuke felt embarrassed that he was working for the guy…and Kabuto was extremely turned on by the flashing lights and dodgy techno music and Orochimaru's really bad dancing.

There weren't really any flashing lights, on account that there was no power in the Forest of Death, but he could dream.
