Katie: … Wow… I'm surprised Lifeless and Heart hasn't killed you yet…

Ketia: Gonna push your luck any further?

I: (shaking head so fast, it's a blur) Noooo!!!

Katie: Anime has decided to grace those who waited so long an extra-lengthy chapter…

Ketia: In other words… Your long wait has given her a major creativity boost… And now she's just gonna mesh together what could be a few chapters…

I: Hey… It works…

Katie and Ketia: Whatever…

I: (pouting)

Katie: Anyways… Disclaimer… Naruto is, by any and all means… In all shapes and forms…. NOT this author's own work…. If it was… You'd see yaoi, a blonde girl named Cira trying to kill Naruto… And me… Trying to stop Cira…

Ketia: Also… Anime does not own the inspiration for this story, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels…

I: Now that that's outta the way… Let's begin, shall we?

-----------------------------Story! Be afraid! ----------------------------------------------------------

"W-wait… What do you mean my soul is yours?!" Naruto cried in outrage. Sakura looked at the blond in disgust as she stated, "You said it yourself you would do anything to get my name… Right?" She sighed as she sat up and took Naruto's hand, "Come along now… We don't want to be late…" She was about to pull Naruto's hand until he pleaded out, "W-Wait! Sakura-chan… Was it? Can't I, well… Change clothes and stuff first?"

Sakura took some time in thinking this over, looking the boy in front of her up and down as she sighed. "Sure… Why not… But I better not catch you trying to run away, Naruto…" Her eyes held an evil that would cause any sane man in there right mind to shiver, a man like Naruto who cowered slightly while thinking, "M-Man… She's really scary sometimes! I'm really gonna regret this now… Aren't I…?" He tried to speak up, only to just nod in understanding as he grabbed a too-big-for-him, hanging-off-his shoulder-big, orange shirt with a spiral pattern on the short sleeves, and faded, snug jeans as he went to change in the bathroom.

Sakura sighed, looking around in mild interest before leaving the bedroom and studying the entire pad. This led her to find two violins. She opened the more battered case first to find a perfectly useable, though old, wooden violin that seemed to be handled with utmost care. She stared in amaze as she said, "That idiot… He really cares for this piece of junk… Doesn't he…?" "Of course I care for that violin!" Naruto's voice boomed in annoyance behind her, "It belonged to my father, who gave it to my mother, and then on passed it to me…" Sakura turned to see a fuming blond only to catch a glimpse as he passed her only to shut the case and hold it close to him.

"But… Wait… What's with the other case then?" Sakura asked in the same annoyance as she opened the newer case, only to stare in shock. "Th-this is Sasuke-kun's violin… How did you… Is this how…" "The Teme? He challenged me to a playing contest… And I won it…" Naruto answered in slight confusion.

"Let me have it…" Sakura said in a deadpanned voice as she looked back at Naruto in what we could call the "Fan girl stalker" look. This look made Naruto nervous until he closed the case on Sasuke's too, holding it by the handle as he said, "No… I'd rather throw it back in the Teme's face…" He received a piercing glare from Sakura, but Naruto Uzamaki never backs down when he gives his word. That was his way of life.

----------------------------------- SasuNaru Break ----------------------------------------------------

Naruto arrived in what could be described as a gothic person's paradise. (No offense to those who are Goth…) It was dank, dreary, and most of all, a live pig could roast in here without being near that huge flaming pit that happened to have people in line, waiting to be pushed in by what appeared to be a hot sex god with black hair and e- Wait a moment… Wasn't that…?

"Bastard Teme!!!" Naruto shouted as he threw the golden violin, still in its hard protective case, at the duck-tail headed devil. Sasuke, however, only looked up in time to get hit square on the face and fall back. He rubbed his sore nose as he glared at whoever threw that violin case, only to have shock evident in his eyes as he came in contact with sky-ocean, bluer than sapphire, eyes.

To say that everyone there were surprised was an understatement. The entire area had gawking demons and souls alike, all praying for the same thing. The poor blond-haired, blue eye soul that surely wouldn't survive after that stunt. However, the devil seemed to cause even more surprised as a smirk graced that pale face's lip, and the words spoken out were in a kind, mocking voice.

"So, Dobe… I see you still managed to get your soul captured… What exactly happened?" Sasuke had picked up the case, already knowing it was the one he gave to the blond. Naruto huffed, before muttering, "Sakura-chan took my soul in order for me to even know her name…" "What? Sorry… It seems I couldn't hear you because of the distance… Mind repeating that?" The devil amusedly mocked, only to have the blond come up to him and shout in his ear, "Teme!!!" Before huffing off and leaving Sasuke there to wince at his misfortune and try to get his ear back to normal hearing.

Naruto was storming off to who knows where, only to bump into a red head with pale, light blue, actually pupil less eyes ringed with heavy black as to look like a raccoon, or panda… On the red head's forehead, more towards the left side was a bloody red tattoo that seemed to be that character "Ai" for love. But, what really got to Naruto was the fact that sand was swirling dangerously around him, and that he had the ears and tail of a red panda! (Looks close enough to a raccoon, while having the word panda in it… )

At the current moment, all Naruto could do was freak. He then began to stutter an apology before dashing off. Too bad he didn't get too far, since the sand that had swirled around the raccoon demon had grabbed little Naru-chan's ankle, causing the poor blond to fall flat on his face. Fear coursed through Naruto's veins as he turned around and looked up at the murderous tint in those almost lifeless eyes. "I-I'm dead… Plain and simple… He's gonna mutilate me!!!!" was all Naruto-kun could think of.

----------------------------End of Chapter -------------------------------------------------------------

Ketia: … What could have been two separate chapters, now together… And still on a cliff….?

Katie: … Ketia... Anime's doing research on animals… She's trying to figure out which animal, and plant in Zetsu's case, goes to which person…

Ketia: Oh? Does that mean Sakura is more than just a monkey?

Katie: Yup… Presenting Sakura, the Black Spider Monkey Demon!!!

Ketia: What about Ino?

Katie: … She's dead… No one cares what sort of pig demon she is… Plus she was researching wildlife animals…

I: … Anyways… Lifeless and Heart of Lifeless Heart… After you're done reviewing (If your gonna…), please contact me so we could talk about something…

Katie and Ketia: (have Cheshire cat grins) It's for a special "Thanks for not killing me and still liking the story" gift…

I: (nods) Yup… I know it's so soon and all… But you two remind me sort of my friend, Cira… So… I'll let it slide this time…
