Sakura is pink and Kisame is blue, I don't own Naruto and neither do you. :3

Recap:

Sasuke violently bit at the gag in his mouth. He wanted no more at this point than to

tell Itachi off. Itachi evidently saw this and raised his face back to where it was,

extending his arm and untying Sasuke's gag. "Bad move, Itachi." Sasuke said. He

opened his mouth and screamed; loudly. He stopped screaming when another figure

popped his head in the door.

"What's going on here, un?" The figure said.

"Deidara." Itachi said in a murderous tone. "I told you to watch the girl."

The girl! Sasuke thought. That must be Sakura!

"Well, ehe…" Deidara smiled cheekily before continuing. "She was giving me a

really hard time, so… I gave her to Hidan, un."

Chapter 5- Why Must We Live Like This?

Sasuke caught a glimpse of anger in his brother's eyes.

"You gave her… to Hidan?" Itachi said, his voice laced with anger and annoyance.

Just as Deidara opened his mouth to explain, a loud, female scream pierced the air around them, followed by a voice that Sasuke assumed belonged to Hidan.

"You're so cute. Don't be scared, baby."

Sasuke struggled more, trying to free himself from his restraints. He wanted to save Sakura. No, he needed to save her. After all, he loved her. Right? Right?

He thrashed about the bed, trying his hardest to break free of the restraints. In his struggle, the thin sheet covering him slipped off his body, down onto the floor, leaving him exposed for all eyes around him. But he didn't care; Sakura was the only thing on his mind.

Itachi, feeling the cool sheet fall onto his feet, snapped back to reality. He glanced down at his baby brother, completely naked before him. Sasuke felt his gaze upon him, stopped struggling, and returned his glare. He then blushed as he saw Itachi's eyes wander farther down his body; stopping when they reached to the area between his legs.

Itachi smiled as he saw his otouto's blush from the corner of his eyes. He crouched down at the side of the bed so he was at eye-level with the blushing chuunin.

"Deidara." He said firmly, not even glancing at the blonde. "Leave." Deidara rolled his eyes. "I guess I'll go check on Hidan, un…" He replied, turning around, and leaving the room.

"Otouto…" Itachi whispered, reaching a hand out to stroke his brother's hair. Sasuke shuddered at the contact, and tried to move away.

"Do not be scared, Sasuke-kun." He said in a light tone, moving his lips closer to Sasuke's face. "I would never hurt you. And I most certainly do not hate you as you think I do. In fact…" He wrapped his arms around his brother's cold body, giving a rare smile. "I've always loved you." Sasuke's eyes welled up at hearing his brother's words. Itachi ran his fingers over Sasuke's smooth cheek in a comforting fashion. "Now, do not worry about the girl." The girl. Sasuke thought. That's what this is all about. Sasuke quickly started thrashing again, biting his bottom lip as hard as he could. He hated himself now. Because, for a second, Itachi almost made him forget. He almost made him forget about her. Sakura-chan…

She screamed as Hidan ran the point of the kunai up her bare leg. It left a red, bloody slash all the way from her ankle to her hip. He leaned his head down to lick the blood away, but staggered back as she kicked him in the head, breaking her leg free of the shackles. He just smiled, as his own blood trickled down his chin.

"You're so cute. Don't be scared, baby." He said, smiling sadistically.

She watched as he performed about 5 hand signs. When he was finished, he returned his hands to his sides, and watched her as she quirked her head inquisitively. He just smiled again. He returned back to her side, as he once again leaned his head down to her leg, sticking out his tongue. She tried to kick him again, but her leg wouldn't move. No. she tried again, pushing herself harder, but she was again unsuccessful. Paralysis Jutsu. For Kami's sake… She shivered as she felt his hands on her naked body, and his hot tounge on her leg, traveling up her outer thigh. She screamed again; it seemed to be her only defense at this point. Hidan lifted his head, and stood up straight. "Don't make me gag you, you naughty girl." He grinned as he saw the horror on her pale face. He reached down and undid his pants, letting them pool at his feet. She could see his hard member through the fabric of his underpants. He slowly walked over to the bed, laying ontop of her naked form. He reached his hand downwards, resting it on the upper thigh of her right leg. She bit her lip as she felt him moving it closer and closer to her womanhood. She was about to break down in tears, when the door was forcefully shoved open, to reveal a blonde-haired boy; the one who was supposed to be watching over.

"Hidan! I came to check how-" He stopped speaking as he gazed upon the state his fellow Akatsuki member. Then he glanced towards Sakura, as their eyes met. He then realized how much pain she was in; not just physical, but mental, too. That was also the first time he realized how pretty she was.

"I leave you alone with her for 5 minutes, and THIS is what happens, un?!" Deidara walked towards Hidan, and pulled him off Sakura by the collar of his shirt, looking directly at his face. When he saw his swollen, bloody lip, he smiled to himself. At least she tried to put up a fight. Hidan smiled sheepishly as Deidara threw him to the ground.

"And put your pants on, for Kami's sake, un."

Sakura smiled as far as she could. At least she had Deidara to protect her now.

"We've been through this, un."

Sakura's ears perked up.

"Itachi gets his way with her first."

Her smile fell.

"Then me."

Her eyes got wide.

"Then you. That is, if she's still alive, un." He smirked, glancing back towards her.

"But, of course…" He said. He walked towards her unmoving form on the bed, until he was towering directly above her. "Itachi could always change his mind. But, trust me, it would be worse for you then, un."

He realized that she was unable to move, and released the Paralysis Jutsu.

"Come on, Hidan. Let's let her sleep for tonight, un."

Hidan put his pants on, and followed Deidara out of the room, turning off the lights.

As Sakura lie there, shivering, she couldn't help but remember all that's happened to her in only one day. Well, one day that she knew of. Kami knows how long she was passed out for before being rudely woken up by the blonde Akatsuki member.

She glanced around the room she was in. She was shackled to a bed at the middle of the room. Beside the bed was a table. As she passed her eyes by the table, she noticed something on it. Something shining in the dim light coming in through the window. As she picked up her head further, she then realized what was. A kunai. The same one that Hidan was using only moments ago. The edge was still sharp, and adorned with her own blood. She tried to break her wrist free from the metal restraints, so she could reach the sharp object. Because, right now, suicide sounded like paradise.

Well, there's my update. It's longer than any other chapter I've ever wrote. :3 I hope it's good. Please review? I'm begging you guys. D:
