"The Longest Month Ever"

Chapter 8

Recap:

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and Shin started a series of hand seals. Sakura looked around and saw nothing happening. 'Why isn't anything happening? And what the hell is that?' she asked herself looking down. 'Water?' Lots and lots of water, that was starting to fill the room!

"Uh…Sasuke." She said nervously pulling on his sleeve.

"Che. Shit." Sasuke muttered as he grabbed Sakura's arm as the water began to rise more quickly. Well this was going to be fun.

End Recap

"What the hell kind of jutsu is this!" Sakura cried franticly, clinging to Sasuke's arm as the water started rising towards her knees.

"Suiton: Bakusui Shōha" Sasuke answered her. Sakura's eyes widened. "Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave." She said mostly to herself out loud.

"Hn." Sasuke stated as the water began to rise even faster. Shin chuckled. 'A jutsu that creates water out of literally nothing at all.' Sakura thought again. (Shin isn't affected by all the water, since it is his Jutsu and he's from Mist.)

Sakura scooted a little bit more behind Sasuke and tried opening the window. It wouldn't budge. 'Well it was worth a try…' The water was now at their waists.

Sasuke quickly activated his Sharingan. 'Damnit. There's no way out.' Sasuke thought to himself as his eyes scanned the area around them.

"Heh. If you think this is bad…" Shin started with a smirk as the water was now nearing Sakura's chest, but only Sasuke's upper abdomen since he was about a head taller than her.

'Che. Tsunade was right when she said that this guy wasn't a pushover.' Sasuke thought with scowl.

"Sasuke..." Sakura whimpered as the water was rising even faster than before, causing her to have to swim now.

"How pitiful…"Shin stated as he started another series of hand seals. "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Water clone jutsu) Shin yelled.

"Crap." Sakura stated glumly.

"Sakura." Sasuke's cool voice caused her to look beside her. "Don't panic and concentrate on detecting the clones."

'Hai. He's right; I remember this from one of my books. "these clones are capable of attacking and using jutsu, but they are easier to detect because they are made of water. They are also less powerful than the one who created them."' She recited in her mind.

"But Sasuke, ah! ---" Sakura started but was cut off as she felt something grab her foot and pull her under.

"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled as he looked under him for any sign of her. 'Shit.' He thought as he was about to dive under.

"Heh. You can save your little girlfriend later." Shin stated as a group of water cloned blocked his way.

"Che. Enough of these games." Sasuke mumbled as he started a series of hand seals. "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" (Water Release: Water Dragon Blast Technique) Sasuke yelled as the jutsu in the form of a dragon blasted its way through the clones that were blocking his way.

"TAKE THAT! AND THAT!" Naruto yelled again as he kicked the now unconscious Haru repeatedly.

"A-ano, Naruto-kun, I think that's good enough for now." Hinata said in a soft voice looking down with a kind of pity look at the tied up Haru.

"I guess…" Naruto said. "Ne, Hinata-chan are you okay?" He asked, turning his attention to his girlfriend. Hinata looked to the ground.

"Hai…gomen Naruto-kun…" She apologized earning a confused look from Naruto. "Uh…what for?" There's Naruto for you, always dense.

"I-I couldn't complete the mission!" Hinata cried softly. Naruto's face broke out into a goofy grin. "Ah Hinata-chan, don't worry about it! Anyway I'm glad that I got to beat the crap out of him!" Naruto said, trying to calm his crying girlfriend. Hinata pulled her face up. "R-really?"

"Of course!" Naruto said as he pulled her into a hug. "I'll beat the crap out of any man who tries to touch you Hinata-chan!" Naruto said confidently. Hinata smiled softly as she hugged him back. "Arigatou."

"Mmpphh!" Sakura tried to mumble under the water as she was being held down by two of the water clones. 'Grrr, get off! And-wait a minute? DID ONE OF THEM JUST GRAB MY ASS!' Sakura thought angrily, those little—er, water pervs? Well they were controlled by Shin after all.

'THAT'S IT!' Inner Sakura yelled. 'TIME TO KICK SOME ASS---what the hell was that?' Sakura thought as what looked like a dragon zoomed past her, destroying a various number of water clones. 'No time to think! Can't breathe!' Inner Sakura reminded her. Sakura tried kicking, punching, pinching, even biting, but they still had a hold on her.

'Sasuke! Where the hell are you?' Sakura thought franticly as her lungs began to tighten. Just as she was about to close her eyes she felt a hand grab the collar of her shirt. 'Sasuke!' She thought happily as she opened her eyes to see a blurry version of her Sasuke-kun.

Sasuke quickly broke for the surface, taking in a breath as Sakura did the same although breathing a lot heavier than him. "About-cough-time!" She managed to say through breaths.

"Hn. I was busy." Sasuke stated as he supported her by the waist, giving her a moment to catch her breath. The water was still, unfortunately, rising. Just as Sakura caught her breath she realized that the ceiling was now only about three feet from her head.

Shin chuckled. "Not used to water eh? Too bad." He said smugly. "Sakura, remember to take a deep breath when the water reaches the ceiling. I have a plan" Sasuke said into her ear. Sakura narrowed her eyes at this.

"Sasuke what's you pla—" 'GOD DAMNIT' Sakura thought as she swallowed water. She hadn't even noticed Sasuke taking in a gulp of breath; obviously the ceiling was closer than she thought.

Sakura franticly swam up only to be face to face with the ceiling, she hadn't gotten any air before she was swallowed by the water. She closed her eyes in horror and pain as her chest began to tighten from lack of air.

A pulling of the wrist and the feel of lips against hers brought her out of her thoughts. Sasuke forced her mouth open as he gave her the share of his oxygen. (Um…yeah I don't know if that's possible…probably isn't but for the sake of the story lets just say it is ne?)

'S-Sasuke…' Sakura thought as she felt her lungs fill with much needed oxygen. 'H-he gave me most of his oxygen!' She thought, worried.

Sasuke quickly pulled away, feeling the loss of most of his oxygen by now. 'I'll have to make this quick.' He thought as his lungs began to tighten more and more.

He started yet another series of hand seals and brought two fingers up to his mouth. 'Suiton: Kaihōdan!' (Water Release: Pressure Cannon) A strong stream of water blasted from his mouth, hitting the target.

'Shit!' Shin thought as the blast hit him, breaking the jutsu that he was previously holding.

'Heh…' Sasuke thought faintly as he closed his eyes.

'Sasuke!' Sakura thought franticly as his body began to sink. Thankfully though the water was now depleting. She quickly grabbed him by the waist and pulled him up to the surface, taking in a large breath.

"S-sasuke!" She coughed as she shook him. 'WAKE UP DAMN YOU!' Inner Sakura yelled. The water was now thankfully, only to their ankles. (talk about fast draining.)

"Smart move." Shin commented, holding his shoulder. 'That's it lets get rid of this guy!' Inner Sakura yelled, pulling up her sleeves.

"You bastard!" Sakura yelled as she stood up in front of Sasuke's fallen form. 'Let's show him what we're made of!' Inner Sakura yelled.

Sakura moved her hands, creating a hand seal. "Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu!" (Cherry Blossom Blizzard Technique) She yelled. 'He shouldn't be able to with stand this attack, since he's already been weakened by Sasuke.' Sakura thought as she hurled several kunai each with a small sack of miniature explosives attached to them at him.

Shin easily deflected them.

"Ha! If you think that's going to stop me then you're wrong." He stated as Sakura smirked. "Look around you dumbass." Sakura said.

Shin looked around him, seeing the broken sacks and tags now falling down, almost as feathers would. 'What the hell?'

Sakura quickly threw another explosive kunai towards him, this kunai causing all the broken tags and sacks around him to ignite, causing an immense explosion.

Sakura waited for the smoke to clear. 'He better be dead!' Inner Sakura said threateningly. To Sakura's pleasure Shin's body was laying in the rubble. 'Finally!' She thought happily. "Sasuke!" She said to herself in surprise, remembering Sasuke's state.

She turned around and kneeled by him. "Good, he's breathing." She sighed in relief. A voice yelling and banging on the door caused her to turn her head. 'That sounds like…'

"OW!" Naruto yelled as he crashed through the door. "N-naruto-kun!" Hinata squeaked as she helped him up. Naruto rubbed his head sorely.

"EH? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" He yelled as he looked around the water soaked room, not to mention a fried looking Shin.

A coughing noise caused Sakura to turn around, once again, away from Naruto. Sasuke coughed again as he sat up abruptly. Sakura smiled.

"SASUKE! Your okay!" She yelled happily as she tackled him into a hug, causing him to cough once again.

"Ah! Sakura…too tight." Sasuke managed to choke out as Sakura didn't loosen her hold on his neck. "What the hell happened here?" Naruto once again asked. "I tried forever to knock down that damn door!"

"Um…well, things didn't exactly go as we planned…" Sakura said nervously as she helped Sasuke stand up. Everyone was quiet as they all seemed to be focused on something else.

"Er…Sakura." Naruto said as he pointed towards her uniform, she looked down at her own chest and let out a scream, crossing her arms over her chest. Sasuke glared at Naruto as he pulled Sakura face first into his chest, blocking everyone's view of her front side.

"Dobe!" Sasuke hissed as Naruto held up his hands in a defensive matter. "I didn't mean to look!"
