Sakura was terrified.

The creature kept jumping at her, jaws stretched wide... but it would stop about an inch from her face, as if it were held back by some invisible rope.

Sakura just hoped that whatever was keeping the beast back would keep doing it's job.

Even if she was immortal, that didn't change the fact that she was almost scared senseless of this creature... whatever it was. She had a few minutes of peace from the snarling and barking of the monster as it stepped back to get ready for another lunge at her throat.

There was no possible way she could get out, the ropes that were binding her were infused with chakra, and her own chakra had been drained. All of her weapons had been disposed of, and she was sporting a huge lump on her head.

" DAMMIT!" She screamed in frustration. What the hell was she going to do, chew her hands off so she could get free? Yeah right, she wasn't that desperate.

Closing her eyes she began to breath deeply, drowning out the sounds of the thing before her, drowning out her fear... her mind became completely blank as she tried to will her chakra back. She slowly felt it began to return, only a little more and she would be able to break free... only a little more...

She was brought out of her thoughts violently as she heard footsteps and voices outside the cave she was in. She groaned in frustration as she felt her control slip and the minuscule amount of chakra she had quickly disappeared.

How had she gotten herself into this mess?

" Seems like she's awake... should we knock her out again?" Came a taunting voice from the entrance of the cave. Sakura's head jerked to the person, jade eyes meeting lavender.

Sakura forgot how to breath..

She just stared, and so did the strange lavender eyed man, the grin that was tugging at his face completely disappeared.

Sakura knew that she was staring, she also knew that a light tinge was covering her cheeks.. But did that stop her?

Hell no.

He was different, as if the silver hair and lilac eyes didn't give it away, but she just knew that there was just...

" A connection." Sakura whispered, not even noticing the sound that escaped her. But, apparently that broke the trance and a cool mask of indifference slipped onto the man's face.

Sakura took another quick glance at him then her eyes met the floor, her cheeks blazing now. The silver haired man hadn't said anything, he was still staring at her with a look of knowing.

Why in the world did I do that? Sakura thought, not brave enough to look up again. The fact that the beast was still trying to eat her face off didn't change her thought process.

Sakura, deciding o be brave spoke with a quivering voice, " Why am I here?" Could I sound any weaker?

The silver haired man didn't speak, only turned and walked out of the cave, leaving Sakura puzzled and embarrassed.

It was then that Sakura noticed that there was yet another man in the cave. He was the complete different from the silver haired man.

He was tall and broad shouldered, he wore a strange hood over his head and a mask over his face. Oddly, Sakura did not feel threatened by him...

But she probably should be.

He did not say anything, only looked down at her with some kind of concealed emotion. She just knew it was pity...

" Tell me why I'm here!" Sakura said, burning rage consuming her. She vaguely wondered when the dog creature stopped trying to kill her...

The man did not say anything, nor did the look in his eyes change. It pissed Sakura off to no end.

" Why the fuck am I here you bastard?!" Sakura screamed, the hysteria of the situation finally getting to her. Angry tears of frustration coursed down her face, streaking the dirt and small amount of blood that was there.

Her anger melted when he yet again said nothing, only moving over to the beast that was now sitting quiet in it's corner. He tossed it something that looked oddly like rotten meat... well at least that's what it smelled like, and Sakura cringed away from it.

" Oh no, no no no!" Sakura whispered as she felt the familiar tingling burn around the marks on her wrists. " Not now Jashin!" Sakura whimpered.

He was calling her again, telling her that she had to preform her ritual...

How was she going to get through this?

Author's Note: I IS EVIL! But at least I didn't lie... to bad. Yes, Hidan did show up in this chapter, but he only had one line... I'm so sorry, but at least Hidan will find out about Sakura's little secret now! Oh, it's going to be pretty cool -coughlamecough- Well, I hope that you liked it! Please leave me a review!

Until next time,

Tragic
