More SasuSaku fluff! Why won't Sakura just forgive him already? XD

Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine...

The sound of birds engulfed their ears; green plants surrounded them; warmth ran through their bodies. They had entered a rainforest, but not just any forest, the Amazon Rainforest.

"We're certainly no where near home now…" Ino sighed. Her hopes had plummeted everytime she found out that they weren't back at Victoria Falls, and she was at an all time low.

"Alright, I've always wanted to know what a jungle looked like! I bet there are chimps! Hey, Hinata, I wanna meet a chimp!" Naruto yelled excitedly, getting confused looks off his friends.

"You've already met one." Sasuke stated.

"No I haven't! Prove it!"

"There is one already among us. I know you know him."

"Where? I don't see any chimp's teme –"

"YOU'RE the chimp, Naruto!" Sasuke yelled in annoyance. Everyone sniggered, even Sakura, but then she cursed herself afterwards. She was still mad at him, she was still mad at him, she was still mad at him she repeated in her mind.

"Take that back!"

"Make me dob –"

"Would you two just SHUT UP? I'm sick to death of hearing you argue all the time!" Sakura counted to ten in her head to try and calm herself down. "Did you know that there are tribes in these types of forests? We have to be extremely careful-" but she was cut off by her stomach rumbling.

"I'll go get something to eat." Sasuke said, grabbing a kunai out of Naruto's pocket, causing the blonde to fume.

"No ones vegetarian are they?" Ino questioned.

Being bored to death by Naruto's rant about Sasuke, Sakura decided to gather some firewood to cook the food for when Sasuke comes back. She went as far away as she could from the rest of the group, taking as long as she could. She needed some space. Space to think.

On her way back to the camp, she heard a rustling in the trees behind her, but just thought it was a bird or a 'Chimp' (she smiled, thinking of Naruto's love for the ape). However, the rustling came again and it seemed to be coming closer, or closing in on her. She started to speed up, eager to get to the safety of the others – if she could remember the way. In her panic she lost her bearings, causing her to panic even more.

She dropped one of the sticks and went back to pick it up, however when she bent down she dropped all the other sticks aswel, causing her to swear loudly.

"My, aren't we a foul mouth." A deep voice behind her chuckled. Sakura shot upright and faced the owner of the voice. He was tanned, muscular and tall. He had black hair and a… a ninja headband? Sakura was in trouble…

Meanwhile, back at camp, Sasuke has come back with a few fish and had been waiting for Sakura to come back with the fire wood. After half an hour, everyone started to get worried, even Sai. Ino demanded Hinata to use her Byakugan, and she found that Sakura was being dragged off by five men. Ninja's from the Village Hidden in the Rocks. They all immediately went after her and as they got nearer they heard Sakura's voice:

"Put. Me. Down. You. Ugly. Piece. Of-"

"Now, now. What did we say about that sort of language? A young woman like you should be ashamed."

"I don't give a-" she was cut off by the sound of Naruto's voice calling her name. She sighed in relief as she could see all five of her friends surrounding the five kidnappers, even though she was upside down.

"Let her go or else." Sasuke said calmly.

How the hell can you be calm in a situation like this? Sakura screamed in her head.

"Or else what? Five of you are Konoha ninja, little softies I've heard. And you must be from Konoha aswel otherwise you wouldn't be with this lot. Thought you could hide away your identity by not wearing your head band?" said the toughest looking man.

The man pulled out a kunai and pointed it at Sakura's throat.

"You move an inch closer, any of you, and she gets it!"

Sakura gulped and Sasuke looked at her, as if thinking of a plan. She gave him a pleading look and he looked back at the man that was holding the kunai. He made some handsigns and shoved his hand towards the ground, creating a Chidori. The Uchiha charged and lashed out at the man and pierced his body with one strike. He did the same to the others until there was none left.

"Didn't you even think of asking them why they were here?" Sakura asked.

"Hn." was the answer she got. She really hated it when he answered her with a word that doesn't even exist in the dictionary. She huffed while he walked over to her and cut the ropes free with the kunai that the man had dropped on the ground.

"Oh yeah Sakura, happy birthday!" Naruto yelled in her ear. She had totally forgotten her own birthday! Everyone wished her happy birthday (everyone except Sasuke) and said that they would have a party when they got back home – if they got back home.

On the way back to the cave Sasuke walked with Sakura.

"Aren't you going to thank me?"

"Aren't you going to wish me happy birthday?" Sakura fired back. The Uchiha just rolled his eyes and continued walking back through the cave.
