Author's Note: WOO! Double update! You have to love me right? RIGHT DAMMIT?! Anyways I want to dedicate this chapter to my friend Lauren because, to put it bluntly, without her constant pressuring I would not have updated the last four chapters... so thanks Lauren (Even though you're sitting right next to me as I write this)

Anyways, I'm still hoping that you reviewers will consider my whole 'Play List' for this story. Remember if I like your songs then I'll write you a one-shot with any two characters you want, almost any Anime or Manga (but if I haven't heard of it, it'll take longer to write because I'll have to do research...)

(wow long author's note)

" What?" Sakura asked, her voice quivering a little. He was staring at her again, and it starting to make her go a little bit insane... only a little.

" Nothing." He said quietly, looking away almost immediately, a light tinge coming to his cheeks.

" Breath Sakura, just breath." She thought to herself, her pulse rising. Why was she reacting this way around him? He was just some guy... who had captured her and was also a follower by will to Jashin and-

Oh, to hell with it, he was really different from any man she had ever met before.

And the fact that he was pretty handsome didn't bother her that much either. But none of this explained why he was looking at her strangely...

She just wished that Naruto would hurry up before they decided to move yet again, because from what she gathered... when they left here they were heading straight for the Akatsuki base.

And if she got there then...

" Don't want to think about that." She said, out loud.

" Think about what?" Hidan asked, his attention moving from the ceiling of the cave to her form, that was still tied up.

" Nothing, nothing. Listen, could you please untie me? It's getting hard to breath." Sakura whined, looking down at her rope covered chest.

" No. Plus it's not like it's going to fucking kill you." At this he he gave a small laugh.

"..." She had nothing to say to that.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

Ah, the infernal noise of slowly running water was back. Oh joy!

Sakura made a mental note to go and see a therapist once this whole ordeal was over, because she just knew that her sanity was slowly running through her fingers like sand.

" Well, it seems as if they've stopped here." Pakkun said, sniffing the ground. They were at the first cave that the two Akatsuki members had stopped at the first time.

" How fresh is the trail?" Shikamaru asked, looking down at the furry dog at his feet. The rest of the group was silent as they waited for the dogs answer.

" About a day old." Pakkun answered, giving a toothy grin.

" Yes! We can catch them by tomorrow right?" Naruto asked excitedly, looking at the captain of their small rescue team.

" Yeah, Naruto. Hopefully by tomorrow." Shikamaru said, actually smiling.

He had left yet again, leaving Sakura in this stupid, stupid cave.

" Where does he go anyway?" Inner Sakura asked, her normally fierce figure was slumped over in defeat. " Who knows? He's probably out sacrificing a squirrel or something.." She answered.

She couldn't help it, she started to laugh... loudly.

" Ha ha... squirrel..ha.." She laughed, finally coming down from her small hysteria fit. " I have got to get out of here, soon." She whispered, dropping her head... hopefully she could get some sleep before he came back...

" Are you awake?" ... Or not.

" Yes." Sakura answered shortly, lifting her head...

Only to bump it into Hidan's head, his lips connecting with hers.
