Chapter 5
A pair of jade color eyes cracked open and the girl on the bed stared motionlessly at the white ceiling above. Last night, or was it morning, after Sasuke had threw her into the room, Sakura at first decided to break the door and look for him but when she saw the king size bed looking so soft and smooth, she couldn't resist herself and ended up resting there and fell sleep.
She concluded she will take a good nap first before looking for the bastard. Since she certainly need some rest to relief the stress on her muscles.
Now she's awake, it is time to get out of here. Her head hammered the moment she got up and she was sure she's going to pass out again but she hold onto it. She swallowed down the nausea feeling and sat there until it went away.
The pinkette took a long breath before getting up, she was about to make a break to the door when she notice the room looks rather nice. Like some kind of VIP room if she has to describe it. Her curiosity took over and Sakura was at the drawers wondering is there anything there.
When she opened it, there were clothes, all black.
What a plain taste, why not rainbow.
Next, she discovered the bathroom on the far right side of the room. Much to her please, she really wanted to wash her face!
It's really not a good feeling when dry blood are sticking all over her face. Sakura was tempted to take a shower but against it since there is no time to do this kind of things.
She took a quick wash of her face and felt completely alive again. After wiping off the water on her face with a random towel hanging on the side, she decided whoever lived in this room loves the smell of mint since the towel, shampoo, soap, body wash are all the same mint type.
After the brief wash, Sakura decided is time to get out of here. Though the door is locked and she can feel the justu Sasuke casted on the door, it isn't enough to stop her from going back to Konoha!
The girl put her hand on the door and closed her eyes to examine the chakra seal around the exit. After about 10 minutes of careful inspection, Sakura took a deep breath when she has finally found the weakest part of the seal where she can break through.
Slowly, she gathered the minuscule of chakra on her hands and preformed a justu that her shishou taught her about canceling seals.
Sweat beads form on her forehead when she felt the chakra cuff constricting the flow of her chakra, but she only needed a little more.
Her hands glowed in blue and she gave the door a little push on the weakest spot.
The seal wobbled then fading slowly before the door exploded, leaving bits of debris on the floor in front of her. She winced at the loud noise it made but it is the only way she knew how to break this kind of seals.
She just have to be careful from now on.
When she first stepped out of the white chamber, she shivered at the uneasiness the dark and eerie feeling this hall gave her. The floor under her bare feet was cold and so as the temperature around this place.
Looking down the long hallway, she saw nothing but darkness beyond. Swallowing hard, she is never fond of the dark and some ominous stories always gets her. Surpressing her beating heart, she proceed down the hall.

Jumping tree to tree, Sasuke was on his way back to the Akatsuki base after his mission. He didn't get any information about the jinchuuriki since his mind wasn't at it.
Not at all.
Basically he went to the mission destination and before he even find his target, he turned back and made his way towards the base.
Something is bothering the back of his mind but he wasn't sure what. He just feel like….getting back soon..…
Maybe he needs a drink of water?
Ok. Even he doesn't think this reason sound convincible.
Within no time, he's at the base entrance and now heading towards the kitchen. When he was there and the moment he turned the door knob, he was immediately annoyed at the sight of Deidara eating lunch while modeling his clay art.
Deidara wasn't too happy at the appearance of the sharingan user either. Both remained silent and minded their own business. The room was awfully quiet and tense, no one wanted to started a conversation of course. If they really did start, it will probably be the end of the base.
The blond hair Akatsuki never liked Itachi for his emotionless manner and I-am-in-my-own-little-world-don't-bother-me attitude. So here again, it goes the same for Uchiha Sasuke, or even worse.
The atmosphere in the room was really irritating Deidara. He wanted nothing but to finish his food fast and get the hell out of here. Any longer with the Uchiha in this place, he might bomb the room.
Sasuke did the same; he just wanted to get a drink of water and leave. If he stays any longer, it might end up a blood-bath any time soon.
Finishing what they were doing, they both stood up and head toward the door. Unfortunately their confrontation is inevitable. Walking a step faster, Deidara wanted to get out faster than Sasuke does, but Sasuke did the same in response, his pride would not let the blonde get in front of him.
To their dismay, two people were unable to go through the door at the same time.
"Step back, Uchiha." Deidara hissed stating his hostile.
"Hn." Sasuke kept silent, but it was evident that he wouldn't let this go easily.
They finally get through the door part after struggling for several minutes.
Now to the halls.

Sakura sworn this place is going to win a price for the greatest maze ever! She has used all kinds of way to look for the exit that leads to the outside but she can tell she wasn't even close.
Sighing when her stomach grumble again, she told it to be quiet so she can concentrate on determining which side to go. Even though it was minimal, there was tiny bits of wind if she focus hard enough.
Her sharp ears can also pick up tiny bits of noises from different directions. But it is just there are a lot of layers of walls hindering her decision on which way to go.
If she has her chakra, she would for sure make great holes for this place.
Sakura has ran most of the time and now she felt light headed. The moment she get these damn chakra cuffs off, she will have to take a good look on her head where Hidan had cracked her head against the wall.
Another split in front of her showed up and Sakura sighed for the nth time in the half hour since she got out the room. Deciding on the left, Sakura picked up her pace and …
"….Great."

"Stop following me, Uchiha." Deidara glared hard at the Akatsuki member next to him.
" …." Sasuke didn't even bother to reply the blonde ranting over his presence. It's not like he want to walk next to him anyway. It just happens their room are in the same direction.
He snarled at that.
"What the hell, Uchiha are you listening….." Sasuke speed up his pace having enough of his complains.
Before he turned the corner, he sensed someone going this way as well without any sign of stopping…. and there she was looking at him in surprise.

He glared at her and she mumbled something incoherently, curses he assumed.
"Why are you here." He stated clearly questioning how she get through the sealed door. Either someone cracked down the entire door or she broke it but it is more likely to be the latter since most Akatsuki are on missions right now.
"Cus I want to." She said as if it is the most obvious. In the back of her mind, she is cursing her stomach for being such a distraction that she forgot to detect any nearby chakra. Now since this bastard showed up, she will have to leave the escape plan for some other time.
Without a word, Sasuke proceed to grab Sakura's wrist intending to take her back to the room. But too bad Sakura saw it coming so she stepped back before he was able to grab her.
Sasuke's eye twitched in annoyance when she did that but he knew she wouldn't be faster than he is. He grabbed a hold of her other wrist before she can do anything.
Some heated words came out her mouth but Sasuke ignored it. He started pulling her by her wrist rather hard and the girl winced at the stretch the cuff gave her.
"Treat our little guest nicer." Deidara sighed obviously noticing the Uchiha is hurting her hand. But it is rather amusing when she talk back to him like they are enemies all their life.
Emitting the available chakra to her hand, Sakura stood her ground and pulled back successfully stopping the jerk from pulling her.
"Do you want me to cut your legs off so I can drag you back." He said darkly glaring into her jade orbs.
The girl didn't avoid his glare instead looked back into his eyes telling him clear that she was not afraid.
"I'm hungry." She said bluntly knowing her stomach is almost at her limit.
Sasuke was about to ignore her but she hold him tight.
"Are you just going to starve me to death, cus I'm almost at my limit."
The blonde chuckled knowing the Uchiha just lost this battle.
He then walked up to her and offered, " I would gladly treat you a meal, Sakura-chan."
He gave her a playful smile though Sakura wasn't sure she should trust him but for the sake of her drumming stomach, she took it. And of course, it is a much better option then being with this ice cube right here.
"How nice of you…." she replied to the blond with a smile before glancing back at the Uchiha. "…and would you mind letting go now." She hold her wrist up with his hand still on it.
Sasuke's hold tighten for a moment before he released it completely. Clearly not happy, but didn't said anything.
Sakura turned to follow the blond who was leading the way to the kitchen half excepting the Uchiha to leave her alone, but it wasn't the case. Sasuke did not leave instead followed them to the kitchen.
She could tell he isn't going to give her any chance to escape.
When they reached the kitchen, Deidara offered her to take a sit and he will make something for her. At that, she gladly took a sit on the soft sofa but her mood went down hill when Sasuke decided to sit on the opposite side.
He stared at her or was that a glare…
Sakura nearly rolled her eyes, does he hate her that much? Instead of focusing on his cold presence, Sakura turned to look at Deidara.
The kitchen and the room is connected, from where she sat, she can see clearly what he is doing. It seems like he's making her fried rice.
Sasuke watched her. She was talking to him or more to herself as she sat there waiting. He watched her complained about her tangled hair and how she smiled at something he doesn't get.
Was he even listening? Probably not.
He watched her played with the edge of her tatter shirt and …..
He shook his head when he finally realized he was observing her, observing every one of her action.
What is he doing anyway?
He let the thought slide when he saw Sakura's expression frowned. Turning to her left to see what was causing her displeasure, Sasuke saw she was watching Deidara cook.
His own expression darken when he saw the blonde adding spoon after spoon of salt and was that sugar jar he's holding? The blonde proceeded to add something Sasuke first assumed was soy sauce but recalled that was the vinegar Kisame mistakenly brought.
The awful smell filled the room and it had taken all the Uchiha's control not to launch at the blonde.
"Enjoy." Deidara gave her a smile and hand her a spoon. He placed the meal in front of her.
How the hell did he turned fried rice purple?

Reviews will be helpful, thanks.
And any ideas what interaction should I do between other members or Sasuke?
