A/N: Well it's been a while; I have been seriously busy as of late and haven't had enough time to crank this stuff out. Well anyways, here is chapter five of this crazy story, hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and unfortunately I can't think of a way to make this disclaimer amusing today, so screw you.

Sakura Haruno awoke; her dreams that night had been as wonderful as the reality she now lived. She turned to face the dark haired goddess who dominated these dreams and that reality. Sakura and Tenten had been together for a week now, a wonderful week. Sakura couldn't help but feel it was the best week of her life. Like everything before that moment was a bad dream, and she had now only found her own peace. Still even with all that said, Sakura knew that today the high of her love would be forced to subdue itself. Tenten was to leave on mission today. She was to finish what was started in that now unfamiliar nightmare. Sakura now put her hand to the beautiful girl who lay naked before her.

"S-Sakura… it's early, can't you wait a little longer, I mean I can't just do that sort of thing whenever, I have to be in the right mood." Tenten spoke lazily, and somewhat irritated.

"Well actually, Tenten, I was thinking we would skip all of that today." Sakura said with a blush.

"I never thought I'd hear you say that, Sakura. How come?" Tenten spoke inquisitively.

"Well you have to leave today, and it's going to be hard enough as it is. I think anymore would make it too hard to bear once you are gone." Sakura said in a heartfelt way.

"Oh, okay, if that is what you want… but I wouldn't worry too much about me. My team is very talented and the Hokage is supplying back up if we fail this time, it should work out well in the end." Tenten explained as she adjusted her hair and moved to dress herself.

"But that man is dangerous. We don't know how to beat him. I'm sure the Hokage and everyone would understand if you wanted to back out of this mission now. I mean what point is there in you going now that I'm safe." Sakura said softly.

"Because I don't like losing… and now after everything that happened I have another reason." Tenten started enthusiastically and finished with a slight sigh.

"And what would that be?" Sakura asked hesitantly.

"Because that man hurt you, and you are very important to me." Tenten said seriously.

"Tenten, I don't need revenge. None of that is important to me anymore, I just want you." Sakura replied shyly.

"Well then I'll make sure that I return safely, okay." Tenten replied with a wide smile before closing in to give Sakura an enthusiastic kiss. Sakura reveled in the moment for she knew that it would be her last with her beloved for awhile.

Soon Tenten and her teammates had left the village and Sakura soon lost herself in thought. Sakura was once more alone. No she wasn't. Even if Tenten wasn't by her side for the moment, Sakura knew that she would be back. Even with her lover's absence Sakura could still be happy, things were different now. The new Sakura couldn't be consumed by these stupid lonely thoughts. Sakura walked quietly down an empty street, deep in thought. Soon she had been spotted by a familiar face.

"Hey Sakura, how've you been?" Ino Yamanaka called from a distance.

"Oh Ino, I haven't seen you in a while." Sakura replied at the sight of her old friend.

"Yeah. Listen I heard you were kidnapped and stuff, and then you escaped. That must have been tough." Ino said with a cool smile.

"Well yeah, but things are great now." Sakura said with an overly enthusiastic smile.

"Great?" Ino exclaimed confusedly.

"Yeah. How about you? Things still going good with… uh…hm…" Sakura spoke missing Ino's shock, then struggling for a name.

"It's Kiba now. Yes everything is fine." Ino finished with an embarrassed smile.

"Wait you are going out with Kiba, since when? I thought you were going out with that other guy. Just how many boyfriends do you go through?" Sakura barraged the blonde girl with her questions.

"Well… it has been a week now; I guess that's longer then most last. I just haven't found what I'm looking for." Ino said in a serious tone.

"I doubt that there is anyone out there who could meet your standards, Ino." Sakura said with a laugh and smile.

"Well apparently you found someone who meets yours." Ino retorted smoothly.

"What do you mean?" Sakura questioned fearfully.

"Things usually aren't "Great" only a week after you get kidnapped and tortured." Ino spoke with a laugh.

"Well maybe I have found somebody." Sakura stated bluntly.

"Oh… Sauske's gonna be jealous: Having to contend for the heart and forehead of Sakura Haruno with another. So what's this guy's name? Is it someone I know?" Ino was deeply mocking in her tone.

"It isn't a guy…" Sakura said with an embarrassed blush.

"What the hell does that mean?" Ino asked impatiently.

"Well you see… I'm a lesbian." Sakura continued shyly but with conviction. She wasn't ashamed of herself.

"Oh my god. Did you just say what I think you did? I can't believe it. You of all people…It's just so weird to think that you would give up all rights to Sauske like this. But… I guess it's for the best, there aren't too many guys who would go out with a girl with a forehead that big." Ino spoke in a mixture of shock, confusion and usual mocking.

"You know no one but you really notices that anymore, Ino. As for Sauske that was all just a hopeless dream." Sakura spoke seriously.

"So… who's your bitch?" Ino questioned lightly after awhile.

"Well Tenten is my partner, but I don't think I like you referring to her in that way." Sakura said with a hint of anger.

"I see your point. If it's Tenten, then you must be her bitch." Ino gave a high laugh.

"What did you say? You better watch it Ino-pig, or I'll have to hurt you." Sakura yelled viciously.

"Alright, alright, Sakura… So then… are you attracted to me?" Ino asked in a tone mocking sensuality.

"Wha? I well… to tell the truth… I have always been very attracted to you." Sakura spoke brokenly; a pain surfaced in her stomach and her heart began to race.

"Really? Why didn't you ever try anything then?" Ino asked simply.

"What? Did you want me to?" Sakura replied slowly.

"You probably could have had me back then, you know. Now it's too late." Ino said in a stillsimple tone.

"I kinda figured that. I was just too scared… I guess it doesn't matter anymore, though since I found something better then you." Sakura said with a cold smile though her heart was still racing.

"You are mean, Sakura." Ino said shaking her head. Sakura soon found herself as if her brain was veiled in a dense fog, her vision had blurred, and she began to sway about.

"Sakura! What's wrong? Tell Me! Sakura!" Ino's words did not meet the girl's ears for soon Sakura Haruno's frame had fallen coldto the ground.

Team Gai had moved swiftly through the dense forests and had soon reached the abandoned fortress that was to be their destination. Following close behind them was a group of skilled jounin, ANBU, and tracker ninjas. Still Tenten knew in her heart that she would make it so that they all would have nothing to do here. Things would go down about the same as last time. They would just walk in through the front and try and kick some ass.

Lee and Gai worked to open the familiar large steel gate. Tenten knew things would be different this time, her conviction was too strong. She could not fail. The four shinobi moved into the large main room of this terrible place; it had changed little from the last time. The smell of blood still ran from the cold steel walls. Soon a terribly familiar voice came from afar.

"My this is a surprise: To think that our guests would return." Seiko spoke as he approached the group.

"Seiko Kurogame, you are wanted for kidnapping, running an illegal slavery ring, rape, and murder. The legendary team Gai of Konoha is here to put a stop to your reign of terror." Maito Gai spoke with his usual conviction as he gave a dramatic pose.

"I would think that Konoha would have sent someone better after me. No matter. Brother! Destroy them!" Seiko blasted as the gnarled figure of Yukio Kurogame appeared suddenly.

"I will do so brother." Yukio said obediently. Lee gave a battle ready pose.

"Hold Lee. This is my opponent. I will show this man how foolish it is to challenge the genius of the Hyuuga clan." Neji spoke with a serious excitement.

"I was once exactly like you boy: Filled by the fire of my pride and skill, yet angry at the restrictions that had been imposed upon me. If you don't watch yourself you will be consumed by that fire and it will all burn away, leaving nothing but restrictions." Yukio rasped, pain could be seen in his eyes.

"Hmm, I'm nothing like you. Our fates are different and I shall prove it with my skill." Neji shouted as he charged forth launching a barrage of strikes. Neji had learned that his technique was all but useless on this opponent, who's chakra points were deeply masked under twisted flesh and metal. He had however used the time to conceive a plan.

Yukio swept viciously with his claw as Neji struggled to land blows as he dodged. Yukio soon began to gather chakra in his claw and leapt with swift and deadly strike. Neji had waited for such an attack. He made a swift dodge and jumped atop his opponent's back. Neji now took a kunai from his side and lodged it deep into the joint where the metal arm met the body's flesh. Violently the young Hyuuga forced chakra through the knife into this spot severing the man's arm in a pool of blood. Yukio jumped back.

"A clever trick. I see now, you truly are a worthy opponent." Yukio spoke impressed, masking the pain with his constant sorrow.

"Don't waste my time, brother, you do not need that arm to destroy him." Seiko called fiercely.

"No I have lost this fight. There is no reason to continue." Yukio said somberly.

"Do you dare defy me? Your own broter? The one who fought to save you retched life?" Seiko snapped bitterly.

"I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do." The other replied.

"Nothing you can do… don't you see… you have no choice but to follow me. Mitsu betrayed me and paid with her life. You do not want to make the same mistake." Seiko continued to yell.

"Then, it is as I thought. You are the one who killed her. Father was wrong. Your heart is a darker black then that cloak you so love! But just like you that cloak is far from perfect." Yukio responded with deep emotion.

"To think that I once admired you, that I looked up to you. I t was the great Yukio Kurogame, the terror of Kumo, whose power I desired to restore… not a worthless dog with nothing left but weakness!" Seiko stepped forward, from his side he brandished a sword which Tenten instantly recognized as Mitsu's moon blade. Dark energy pulsed into the sword from the darkness of the cloak as Seiko made a leaping strike, silencing forever the life he had once fought so hard to save.

"Heartless. You shall pay, for I, the great Rock Lee shall be your opponent." Lee gave a pose as he spoke with a dramatic sadness and disgust.

"Wait Lee, I need to tell you something." Tenten said suddenly as she bent to whisper her order to the odd Taijutsu master.

"I understand Tenten." Lee replied with a thumbs up pose. Soon the Konha shinobi had launched forth with a barrage of attacks, none of which met their mark through his cloak.

"Didn't you learn that you can't hurt me… you know that this time you won't be walking away with your life, you see this sword… unlike my shadow technique it is very lethal, as my poor brother proved." Seiko spoke between his opponents blows and then stopped to make sweeping strike at the young ninja. Rock Lee blocked the attack and used the opportunity to make a grab at the hilt of the sword, forcing it out of the evil man's hands and sending it flying across the room.

"Now it is your turn Tenten." Lee exclaimed with a victory pose. Tenten stepped forward.

"Hmm, so you thin that just by disarming me you'll be able to defeat me. Don't you remember how futile your technique was against me, girl?" Seiko laughed.

"Yes I remember that night very clearly. You shall pay for the pain you have caused her." Tenten yelled in response.

"What, that girl who got away from here. That was such a loss. Her anguished cries of pain were a pleasant sound to my ears." The man's tone matched the darkness of his heart.

"You… For Sakura, I must defeat you." Tenten had a furious fire deep within her eyes.

"Do you really have so much attachment to another life? How pathetic." Seiko gave another demon like laugh.

"It is you who has pathetic. Your rage and despair has transformed you into a demon. Attachment is not weakness; rather it is on my unlimited love for Sakura that I swear that I will kill you." Tenten's passion could be clearly seen on her face and heard within her voice. In a second Tenten had drawn a large sword which she clenched deep within her hands. She ran a series of deeply violent slashes through the shadowy figure yet none made their mark. It was obvious that Seiko was scared of the fire in Tenten's eyes; he had began to make rare offensive strikes attacking with shadow energy gathered in his hand. Tenten was able to avoid most of these attacks with ease. Tenten then called forth two more katana which she catapulted in unison through the shadow cloak, the swords flew to either side of the evil man. With sword in hand Tenten next made a dashing cut through the cloak forcing her way behind the man she then launched her weapon through the man with incredible force.

"I would have thought that "unlimited love" would be stronger. Hmm, I guess you have to face the fact that you simply can't win." Seiko yelled crazily.

"Actually, I already have." Tenten gave a sharp laugh, and then brought to her hand the moon blade which lay nearby on the ground. She then began a lightning quick dash at her enemy. In an instant Tenten commanded her other swords which lay surrounding the cloaked evil into motion. As the three swords crossed under the veil of shadow, Tenten leapt in a ferocious strike, chakra could be seen clearly visible upon her blade as she stabbed the weapon through the man. The dark fibers of the shadow cloak, were soon even darker, dyed with the crimson of blood.

"So… this is… death. Sensei, Yukio, Mitsu, Father, may you all forgive what I have done, and know that this is only the beginning of my pain." Seiko managed as he fell to his knees clutching his wound. In an instant Seiko Kurogame was upon the ground, his hood had fallen revealing the content of a madman upon his beautiful countenance. He was dead. Without hesitation, Tenten removed her swords from the body, taking the time to clean them of the blood.

"Nice work Tenten, I knew you had it in you." Gai spoke suddenly giving Tenten a familiar victory pose, eliciting a smile from her blood splattered face.

"I have to admit, that was impressive, but I would like an explanation, as to how it was successful." Neji had an oddly curious look about him.

"Oh well you see, the shadow cloak was simply a tool a device with jutsu built into it. It requires chakra to use. Each time he phases something through himself or he attacks, he puts a temporary drain on his chakra. That is why he attacked only rarely; he couldn't keep up as great a defense that way. I noticed in my first battle with him, when I hit him with a full barrage of weapons, that he would actually physically dodge weapons occasionally. He never let more then three objects touch him at once. On top of that when I managed to catch him off guard during that fight with some kunai followed up with a sword attack I managed to cut his hand when he blocked me. I thought I was imagining it at first, but then when that creepy looking guy said that the cloak wasn't perfect I was reminded of this, and knew that it must have its limits." Tenten explained between deep breaths.

"A very well planned strategy. I always figured that your destiny was something great." Neji said coolly.

"Thanks Neji." Tenten said with a smile. She then turned to Lee who had a dumb look upon his face.

"Hey… um… Tenten… when you said that you have unlimited love for Sakura, you meant that she is just a very important friend, right?" Lee spoke after awhile, fearfully.

"No. I'm sorry Lee, but it's more like… I'm in love with her." Tenten spoke with certainty. Even Neji met her with a surprised glance at this.

"But that is… it… I never… when did… it is just." Rock Lee failed to form a coherent thought.

"Never mind that now, we can talk later. We have prisoners to save." Tenten said suddenly.

"Tenten is right, let's fan out and search this place." Gai responded, and the group went on to complete their mission.

Sakura Haruno awoke; she had been faced with the most horrible of nightmares. Upon returning to the waking world, she felt that the pleasant memories of the past week were nothing more then a pleasant dream, fogged and veiled in a surrounding darkness. She spied her surroundings, and found herself in an unfamiliar bed, a hospital bed. She was soon greeted by the woman she knew as her teacher, Tsunade the Hokage.

"Tsunade-sensei what's wrong with me?" Sakura spoke softly.

"Oh you're awake, Sakura. You fainted in the street, Ino Yamanaka brought you here." Tsunade explained.

"But what is wrong with me?" Sakura repeated her question.

"Well you had a fever from a simple virus, which coupled with your condition made you collapse." Tsunade replied.

"What condition?" Sakura spat impatiently.

"You mean that you haven't realized it yet." Tsunade spoke slowly. "Sakura you're pregnant." Tsunade finished with a certain somber ringing. Sakura took a moment to digest the words before letting a soft tear trickle down her face.

A/N: That was chapter five. I hope you liked it. The fight scenes were simple and brief this time, but I think they were effective; Tenten finally got her chance to shine in battle. I know that the lesbian sex was probably missed, but what can I do. As for the ending, a lot of you probably saw this coming. I mean that rape scene on its own was rather pointless. Ah, I just needed some way to write another couple of interesting chapters now that my OC villains are all dead. Well, keep a look out for chapter six, and any reviews would be appreciated.
