Author's Note: Well well well, looks like we've made it to the eighth chapter. I'm beginning to loose some of the intentioned ideas that I was going to put in here, but hopefully soon some more will knock me upside the head... hopefully. Anyways, please enjoy this chapter.

" I DON'T CARE HOW FUCKING DANGEROUS IT IS!" A certain blond headed boy yelled at his superior.
" You have to understand, Naruto. With this war going on with Sound, we don't have any available shinobi to send out to look for Sakura." Tsunade, the Hokage, said a note finality in her voice. At this, Naruto's expression changed from one of anger to sadness.
" I would have thought that you would care a little more, Tsunade." Naruto said, looked at her with sad eyes. " You treat her as if she were your daughter... I just thought..." At this he sighed, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
" I'm going out to look for her, permission be damned." He whispered as he turned to leave.

" Where are we?" Sakura asked, looking at her surroundings. They were yet again in another cave, and Sakura was bored out of her mind. She had come to terms with the fact that she was in custody of two, very dangerous, very violent Akatsuki members.
She was also very confident that she wouldn't be with them much longer...
" As of now, we're in Sound territory." Hidan said from his position in front of the fire. Kakuzu had gone to the nearest town to get a few supplies, and he wouldn't be back for another two days.
" ..." Awkward silences were not one of Sakura's strong suits, she preferred the not talking and that was just fine with her, but when she was around this strange devout follower of Jashin... she just felt as if she were suppose to say something, anything.
But she kept her mouth shut tight.
And so, here they sat in a very uncomfortable silence... neither of them willing to break it...
" How old are you?" He just had to say something, didn't he?
" Turning eighteen." Sakura said after his pointed stare made her practically insane.
" How old are you?" She retaliated, giving him a sly grin.
" I'm the one asking questions here, remember you're still a captive..." Hidan said, looking at her in a threatening manner, pointing the kunai he was fiddling with at her. Sakura made a small 'eep' sound and shut her mouth, looking anywhere but the white haired man before her.
Sakura gave a small sigh as the same tense awkward silence blanketed them, leaving Sakura in a cold sweat.
" Hurry up, Naruto." She whispered, quiet enough to where Hidan couldn't hear her.

Naruto had just walked out of the Hokage office, when Shikamaru walked up to him, hands in his pockets cigarette handing from his mouth.
" I heard that you're going out to rescue Sakura?" He asked, giving Naruto one of his knowing looks.
" Mind if I join you?"
Naruto smiled. " I'm going to need all the help I can get."
Both men smiled at each other, shaking hands to seal the deal.
" Now all we need is a plan..."
" I've got that covered."

Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
That was the only sound that Sakura heard and she looked around at the now empty cave. Hidan had gone to find some kind of food, and had left Sakura tied to one of the stalagmites poking out of the floor.
" Great, just fucking great." She whispered to herself, she could already feel the bruises forming on her chest from how tight he had tied the ropes. She was hungry, tired and she needed a fucking shower now or some one was going to die!
She was covered in her own blood from her ritual earlier today, and she was sweating and she knew, just knew that she smelt bad.
" Why did I want to become a ninja again?" She asked herself, sighing. " Oh yeah... to prove my father wrong." At this her eyes dropped down.
" Father." She whispered. She remember her father, oh she remembered him well.
He was the worst man on the earth... well at least he was. He was dead now.
" Enough Sakura." She said to herself, anger entering her voice. He may have screwed her life up when he was alive but she would not let him do it while he was dead.
Just as Sakura was beginning to doze off, she heard the oh so familiar footsteps of a certain white haired man, and Sakura hoped to Jashin that he had some kind of food with him.
Lifting her head to look him in the eyes she actually smiled, for in his hand was a box of take-out food of some kind.
" Hungry?" He asked with a coy smile at her disheveled state.
" You have no fucking idea." Sakura said through clenched teeth.

" Alright, so I propose that we go this way, to avoid the patrolling shinobi." Shikamaru said, running his finger on a portion on the map.
" But how are going to cross this river?" Kiba pointed out, he had decided to join the rescue team to find Sakura, as did Hinata. " It's about a mile wide, and the current is to strong to walk across with chakra."
" We'll face that problem when we come across it." Shikamaru said, a board tone creeping in his voice, giving Kiba a glare.
" We-we should get P-Pakkun t-to go with us. His nose w-would prove use-useful in finding S-Sakura." Hinata said, her shy voice calming.
" That's a really good idea, Hinata!" Naruto praised, looking over at her with one of his huge smiles.
She only blushed and looked away.
" That settles it... we'll leave by nightfall." Shikamaru said, giving the group a nod as he and the map disappeared in a poof of white smoke.
" Don't worry Sakura," Naruto whispered, " We'll find you."

Author's Note: Well, I think it was okay, but you let me know if you think otherwise. Oh and if you're wondering the reason Hidan had gotten take-out, he went to the nearest town (Where Kakuzu was) and got it, the only reason that Kakuzu stayed was because he is picking up a few more bounties. Okay?
On another note, I am asking that you loyal reviewers would please help me out on making a play list for this story. A song for each chapter (Post in a review), and whosoever I like the best I will write a one shot for the winner!
Please? A play list for this story would be awesome!
Well, until next time,
Tragic.
