Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN!, but damn, I wish I did.
Warning: This chapter contains major gore, OOCness, language, and all of the Hidan ness that anyone could ever want. Oh, yeah!
Author's Note: Yay! Double chapter update! Go me! Woo! -dances with a little party hat-
Ahem, now back to the important stuff...I had so much fun writing the last chapter, me and my friend Lauren sat down and wrote it together. Most of the dialog ideas came from her! She rocks!

She had to hurry.
The pain was making her feel weak to the point where she couldn't move. Taking the kunai that was handed to her, Sakura made a quick cut to her wrist.
She watched in brief fascination as the blood formed rivulets, staining her skin. She used her bleeding wrist to make the circle with the upside triangle. Stepping in the middle she placed her hand in the center of the triangle, and sealed it with what little chakra she had.
Taking the same bloody kunai, Sakura placed the knife on her left arm, right above the mark. She dug the knife in deep and dragged it up to her shoulder blade, almost deep enough to see the bone, she mirrored the action to the other arm.
Her shirt was now drenched in blood, and yet strangely the more pain she inflicted on herself, the better she felt...
The pain was slowly turning into pleasure.
" Ah!" Sakura whimpered as she made three deep cuts on her right thigh. The circle under her was glowing a very contented red.
" Almost... there!" Sakura whispered to herself as she traced the marks on her wrists, making the circle disappear completely.
Giving a small noise of contentment, Sakura passed out covered in her own blood.
" Jashin." The white haired man whispered in disbelief.
Who would have thought there would be another like him?

When Sakura finally awoke, she was yet again bound...
But this time there was extra rope.
Groaning to herself in frustration, Sakura maneuvered herself in a sitting position. She was in the same cave as before, only there was no snarling monster in her face this time...
Come to think of it...
Where was it now?
Sakura jerked her head around, looking to make sure that the beast wasn't behind her. An amused chuckled came from the other side of the room.
" It's not here anymore." It was the white haired man. " My name's Hidan by the way." He said, a grin making its way on his face.
"..." Sakura was silent, her eye twitching slightly. Sakura was about to ask what the creature was called, but he answered that for her.
" It's called a Croatan." Hidan said, giving her a serious look.
" A Croatan? What.. is that?" Sakura asked, curiosity breaking her silence.
" Its a creature, that inhabits the underworld." Hidan answered, grabbing his pendent and looking at it. " It's one of Jashin's creatures. Thats why it couldn't hurt you." He continued.
Sakura just stared, her mouth slightly open. " You mean that since I'm a... messenger or follower or whatever of Jashin, that that thing can't touch me?"
" Damn right." Hidan said, looking towards the entrance of the cave where the really tall guy from earlier came in.
Sakura became silent as she looked over at the taller man curiously, she still didn't know his name.
" Kakuzu! Did you find anything to eat?" Hidan yelled at his partner, walking over to him. Kakuzu only grunted in agreement and started to make a fire.
It was going to be a long night.

The had left the old cave behind, and Sakura was glad for that. It was cramped and smelled of the rotten meat that Kakuzu had fed the Croatan, which was nowhere to be found thankfully, although Sakura had a faint idea as to where it was...
" Where are you taking me, anyway?" Sakura asked after a moments silence.
Neither of them answered..
" Uh, I think that I have a fucking right to where the hell I'm being carted to..." Sakura mumbled to herself, angrily.
Her thoughts turned to the memories of Konoha. Naruto came to her mind first... wait.
Naruto!
She was suppose to meet him at the gates! And surely when she didn't show up that they would come looking for her!
Yes! There was probably a search team on it's way here any moment now!
Thinking this, an overpowering peace filled Sakura, leaving her with a slightly happy feeling despite the consequences.
She just wondered how much longer it would take for them to find her.
