Here's another chapter. I'm not sure if it's that great. I thank all of you for reviewing!

Chapter 5

Some days things are scary

None of us wrote in here yesterday, I suppose we couldn't as we were occupied. How? We got lost on our tour. All the corridors look the same, so it took us most of the day to finally find someone; Neji and Shikamaru. If we didn't find them we'd be lost forever! That Naruto sure doesn't know his way around, how long has he lived around here anyway?

But other than that, yesterday was a bit dull. All of us hardily saw the guys, Naruto told Hinata that they had some kind of meeting; maybe they got a mission? If so, it'd be nice to get Sasuke away from the dark room.

Well, Neji told Ten-ten that we were all doing something tonight. I wonder what? Hm. Well I'll write more when more things happen, you know above the usual while being here; or at least something interesting. I'm going to pass this onto Ino next.

--Somewhere in Darkness, Sakura (Day 5)

I looked into my mirror and saw my blank white eyes staring back at me. My long black hair swayed to the sides a bit then stopped. Through the reflection I could see Ten-ten staring at me. What is she up to? I stared back at her; she seems to have liked the scarf I left for her. I thought that she would've liked it; perhaps her favorite color is red? Mine is a white-grey, but if I awoke to a room like that… it'd be pretty strange, I would probably think that I died in my sleep.

"So what is this mysterious thing you're taking me to tonight?" She asked.

"…" I gave no reply, she'll find out soon enough.

"Hello?" She frowned.

"That is for you to find out." I calmly replied.

She'd find out soon enough, why bother telling her now? I stopped looking in the mirror and walked over to the door. As I opened it I gestured her to follow me; and she did. Why does she do that, she hasn't disobeyed me yet. Why? Is she afraid that if she did I'd do something to her? I wouldn't be surprised, Itachi almost killed them; if it wasn't for the pink haired one… they wouldn't be here right now.

"Hey."

"What?" Now what is it?

"How come you don't live with Hinata?"

I stopped. What can I tell her? Should I tell her the truth? Or lie my way through? I sighed; I'm not the kind who'd lie their asses off, unlike Kakashi.

"Because I hate that side of the family." He said it so darkly.

I wonder why he has those feelings toward Hinata's family, but then again I wouldn't be surprised. Her father is such an ass. If I ever met him, I'd give him a piece of my mind.

"Uhm… I see." I felt very uncomfortable now.

We walked in the direction of the training grounds, do they ever stop training? It's almost 15/7 that they train. I looked around the wilderness of the training grounds, no Sasuke or anyone. They're normally here. What's Neji going to do?

"Let's train." He said coolly.

But yesterday he said that we couldn't. Itachi said that we couldn't train or fight, just because we might rebel and escape. What is Neji thinking?

"But…" He cut me off.

"Let's just do it." His emotionless expression never faltered.

But actually we did this yesterday, secretly training. We made a usual routine. I'd use my weapons skills and attack him while he used his Byakugan to block. After that we'd train in all the different styles. He sure can keep going, I don't have as much stamina as he does; but I won't let him know that. I'll prove to him that I'm not worthless!

Neji got it position and I attacked. Many kunai and shurikens flew towards him as he activated his Byakugan and moved his arms lightning fast and blocked each and every one. He was pretty good, maybe better than me; probably better than me. I charged at him with two other clones I conjured up. With kunai in hand we swiped at him.

Neji hit the clones into puffs of smoke and caught my wrists. He pulled me closer to him as the kunai dropped from my hands. My eyes met his emotionless white eyes. And he let go of my wrists. What was that?

I sat on the orange bed and stared up at the goofy blonde haired shinobi in front of me. He's been attempting to make his bed, without any luck. He's never made his bed before; I guess that explains the mess of sheets. He was hopeless, but that made me happy.

I stood up and gave him some help. When we finally finished the bed he was speechless on how nice the bed looked, and speechless that there were people that could actually make beds. Looks like he learned something valuable, as did I.

"I'm so glad that we all get to hang out tonight, good thing Kiba and I thought of it!" He smiled goofily.

"N-Naruto-kun w-what are w-we doing t-tonight?" I asked.

He smiled again, "I can't tell you yet. It's a secret for you girls."

I'd probably frown at this but I didn't, instead I smiled and blushed; turning away making sure Naruto-kun couldn't see. It'd be so embarrassing if he saw me blushing like this. But then again, might not notice. He's always doing mischievous things, just yesterday did he shove a pie in Shikamaru's face and splashed it onto Sasuke; whom got a bit pissed about it.

Man, I'm getting bored in here. These green walls are starting to suffocate me. My blonde hair has lost its shine, and I'm withering in here. At least I'll be able to escape this dreadful room tonight; apparently we're hanging out with everyone tonight. I asked him what we were doing and he told me that I was too troublesome to tell. But also, Shikamaru's going to take me to their bathhouse in a little bit.

The little bit passed quickly as I followed him through the dark hallways, until we came upon two big doors made of bamboo. He opened them and led me to the changing room. Wait, only one? That's right, only guys are living here… this is a bad idea. I took the left side and he took the right and I quickly changed and hopped into the steamy water before he could see me.

The moment the water touched my body, it felt very soothing and hot. I don't know why the guys don't come here often… or maybe they do, I don't know. The steam was very thick; I wouldn't be able to see him on the right side of the bath. I felt at peace but lonely, so I waded over closer to the right side.

"Shikamaru?"

"What?" His voice was near, neared than I thought… is he right in front of me?

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked as I continued to wade, I know this is a bad idea; but I'm lonely.

"How troublesome." He responded.

His voice sounded close but distant at the same time, it was like walking around with your eyes closed. I couldn't see anything, just steam and water. At least if I found him, I had a towel wrapped around me; he wouldn't see a thing, just maybe my shoulders.

"Well?" I asked.

"I don't know. What do you want to talk about?"

I thought for a moment, "What are we doing tonight?"

He was quiet for a moment, then, "I told you, you're too troublesome for me to tell you."

That's it. I'm starting to get annoyed of his stupid attitude. That's when I saw his figure through the steam. I waded over to him silently and punched him in the face, bad move. The floor was slippery in this area and she slipped, landing on top of Shikamaru.

"Damnit woman!" He yelled in pain.

I looked down… where did my towel go? Oh shit.

Damnit, my head fucking hurts now, well it did land on cold hard stone. And what the hell is that heavy but soft feeling on me? I opened my eyes and my mouth dropped open at the sight.

There she was; her smooth, perfectly shaped body right on top of me. Wait… where'd her towel go? She was wearing one earlier. But then, if there wasn't a towel… then she's on me completely naked, and I'm only wearing a towel around my waist, at least that's still there. But…she's…naked. On top of me. Naked on top of me. My mind was moving in slow motion. I just gaped; her chest was against mine… If I were her, I'd be afraid to move because then I'd see…all of her. All of her? Oh shit! Mental images ran through my mind, not good! Get them out of my head! I mentally smacked my head many times and finally the images were gone.

Her blue eyes and my brown one locked, she was just as shocked as I was. This isn't good, if I close my eyes, maybe it will all go away. I closed my eyes. She's so annoying, I don't like her…but her body fits perfectly with mine…NO! It will all just go away when I open my eyes.

I opened my eyes and… it was all gone? Maybe the heats getting to me and making hallucinations, I think I should get out now.

The day passed quickly and Naruto-kun is now leading me to where we'll be meeting the others. I hope we don't get lost again. He led me through a door and into a dimly lit room. The room contained a few rows of chairs and a screen in the center, in front of them. We weren't the only ones in there, Neji and Ten-ten were already there. We took some seats next to them and I hugged Ten-ten.

"Hinata!" She smiled, as did I.

"I'm so glad I could see you!" Ten-ten continued to smile and I nodded.

"How troublesome woman!" Came a voice as two more people entered the room.

Ino and Shikamaru walked into the room. They were arguing about something, I think I'll ask about it later in the journal. Ino ran up to us and hugged each of us.

"No longer trapped and going insane in a green room?" Ten-ten asked, smiling evilly.

Ino nudged her and pulled her into an embrace. "Thankfully not!"

Shikamaru just mumbled as he sat down with the other guys and talked about things.

That's when I noticed that someone else was in the room, Kakashi-sensei. All of us noticed that and we glared at him. Didn't he trick us? Didn't he lie to Tsunade-sama? He just smiled at us, we can tell from under his mask.

"So you girls ready?" He asked.

What? "Ready for what?" We asked in unison.

"To watch the movie." He said.

"Movie? We're going to watch a movie?" Ino asked.

"Which movie?" Ten-ten added.

"You'll find out soon." He chuckled.

This didn't seem good; I think we all sweat dropped. But then I saw a flash of pink and I felt all of us go into a huge hug. Sakura was here now, that was a good sign. We're finally all together again.

"Sorry I'm late." She smiled.

"We wouldn't have been if someone wasn't spaced out and tripped and knocked over a lot of vases…" Came a cool displease voice.

I turned to see a tall handsome man, he looked a bit similar to Itachi; this must be Sasuke. He had cold glaring black eyes and what was that red mark on his check?

"Oi, Sasuke, what happened to your face?" Asked Naruto as he held back laughter.

"Shut up dobe." Came Sasuke's cold pissed off voice.

Well in fact…

flashback

Night was coming and it was almost time to go. Sakura however, was still asleep on Sasuke's navy blue bed. Sasuke tapped his foot impatiently, it was getting on his nerves. Finally he walked over to the sleeping girl and shook her.

"Wake up!" Sakura didn't wake up.

"Wake up!" Still no budge.

"Wake up!" She still did not wake.

"WAKE UP ALREADY!" And POW, Sakura's awake now.

"God Damnit! What the hell is wrong with you!" Sasuke yelled in pain.

"Mmm? Sasuke why's your lip bleeding and you cheek red?" Sakura's sleepy voice asked.

"I was trying to wake you up, and you punched me!" Sasuke yelled.

end flashback

Sakura giggled as she remembered the incident.

"Sorry Sasuke, I didn't mean to punch you're big glacier face." Sakura smirked.

I glared at her. I hate her. I hate her so much. She's too annoying. I hate her. I hate her soft pink hair. I hate her kind teal eyes. I hate her cute little face. I hate her lush skin. I hate how her body is so curved and flashy. I hate her stupid personality. I hate her. I hate her. I HATE HER!

I growled at her.

"Oh? Is the little puppy upset?" Sakura asked in an annoyingly cutesy voice.

My eye twitched. I hate her and that's final.

"Well, let's get on with the movie." Kakashi said as Kiba sat down with the others.

They sat together with one another. Neji was on the end, next to me, I also sat next to Sakura who sat next to Naruto. While the rest of girls sat on the ground in front of Naruto and Sakura; Hinata leaning against Naruto's legs. And Shikamaru, Kiba, and Kakashi sat behind in the second row.

The movie flickered as it began. As the title screen came on the guys all groaned. The girls just rolled their eyes. 'Just like Heaven.'

"Who picked this movie?" Ino looked back at the guys.

"Kakashi…" They mumbled in unison.

After about an hour and thirty five minutes the movie was over and Sakura was fast asleep on my lap. I hate her, but I don't blame her. The movie was crappy. I believe Shikamaru and Neji agree with me. Unfortunately, that girl, Ino was on the ground bawling. What the hell is wrong with women? Why are they such a mystery? Why are they so annoying?

"Ok next movie!" Kakashi exclaimed, we just rolled our eyes.

Hinata shook Sakura awake, how come she didn't punch Hinata in the face? Sakura jolted up and elbowed me in the stomach during the process. Shit. I hate her. The girls were bored, so instead of watching the movie they just talked; except for Sakura who sat quietly next to me.

We missed the title screen so we had no idea what it is called. But as time passed it was a horror movie, the girls were still not paying attention. It was about a girl who's in a village where everyone hates her and tries to kill her every waking moment… eventually even her father turns on her and tries to murder her.

Ten-ten looked up at the movie every once in awhile until…

"Oh shit… mayday!" her voice was full of fear.

All the other girls looked up and realized the plot and they turned to Sakura. I noticed that the girl next to me had been shaking for awhile and I also turned to her.

Ino jumped up and shook Sakura, "Sakura! Sakura, hey! It's just a movie! Ok?"

Sakura's eye were distant, the life in them were gone Ino shook her again and Sakura blinked; the life finally coming back.

"Nn?"

"Sakura, you ok?" Ten-ten asked.

"Y-yeah." Sakura was quiet and the girls gave her I big hug.

Did I miss something? I looked around at the other guys; they had the same looks as I did. Ino turned to us, she eyes were flaming.

"What the hell do you think you guys are doing letting Sakura watch that!" Ino yelled.

Sakura looked down and mumbled, "It's ok Ino…"

Ino's expression faded into a sad smile and she sat back down with others for the next movie, "If you say so…"

What was that about? Why is Sakura so sad looking now, her normally happy face is not tarnished into darkness. Oh wait, Hinata once told me that she and Sakura both came from troubled pasts, maybe it has something to do with that? I tried to smile and I hugged her, I was surprised to see a smile peek its way onto her face. That made her happier, knowing that even the kidnappers were able to comfort her.

I draped my arms around Sakura and Hinata, telling them that I was there for them.

"Ok… Well, the next movie as I toss out all the horror ones…" Kakashi said as he took a giant pile of movies and put them to the side.

The screen darkened again and another movie began, this one was called 'Date Movie'. Uh oh, not this movie! (A/n: I've seen that movie already… omg, it was totally random.) By the time the movie was over Sakura wasn't sad anymore, actually she was whipping away the tears that threatened to escape from how hard she laughed. We all felt that way; except for the two emotionless, unbreakable Ice creatures.

"Oh my god! The cat! The Cat!" Ino shrieked.

Yep, the cat was pretty scary…but funny at the same time.

"Did you see how big that woman's ass was?" Shikamaru said in disbelief, "is that even possible?"

That woman's ass was pretty big.

"What about the first scene with Hitch?" Ten-ten laughed.

Ok that part was creepy, but funny.

"Or with the pimp up?" I said.

Oh the pimp up, that part was surely nasty, with a capital 'N'. Over all, I think that was the best movie we watched this night. However I strongly warn anyone else who will watch that movie.

That was the last movie for the night, so we all said out goodbyes and left for our rooms. After all it was past 1 A.M., so we all were pretty tired. I continued to walk with Hinata, Shikamaru, and Ino, until we came upon the fork and split our different ways.

We went into our room; Sakura has been quiet for awhile. It's unlike her to be this quiet. I don't really care, it's nice for a change; silence is golden. We slipped into bed and fell asleep.

I don't know what time it is, but I awoke to a strange noise. I didn't move and inch, just listened. Is someone crying? Who's crying? Then it dawned on me, there's only one other person in here besides me. Why was Sakura crying? I stayed in the exact spot, secretly awake for hours and Sakura had finally gone to sleep a few minutes ago. For some reason I feel a pain in my chest, is it guilt or pity for the girl? I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it made me turn over and hold the girl. Soon after I fell asleep, not letting go. I hate her, but just this once I'll put that aside.

Today was a mess, but at least I got to see everyone. I was bored again, but then Shikamaru and I went to the bathhouse. The water felt so nice, the only problem was that, uhm, well… something happened and I've convinced Shikamaru that it was all just a hallucination. Yes, it was that bad. I slipped in the water and fell on top of him; my towel disappeared somewhere too… It was bad.

I dislike him, he gets on my nerves. He says everything is troublesome; maybe he's just the troublesome one. I can't believe those guys! Letting Sakura watch that movie! But I suppose it's ok, after all… they don't know, right? Poor Sakura. That's one of the reasons we have to protect her, we can't let anyone hurt her, no one.

Shika is about to go to sleep so I'll give this to someone tomorrow.

--Ino, Deep in thought (Day 5)

However, unknown to them, a dark shadow is lurking nearby.
