Haruno Sakura sighed in relief, lowering her tired body into the warm water of her bath. Her sore muscles immediately went lax as the tension drained away, and she marveled at how uptight she'd been as the water reached just below her neck, lapping at her skin. "Jeez, Sakura," she muttered as she let her head lie against the linoleum, "you need to get some alone time or something. You're starting to feel like a log or...yeah."
She sighed and cleared her mind…or, at least- tried to. Deidara's warning was the thing concerning her most at this point. It had been a week since he'd come back to tell her about the Tobi person, and still no word. Sakura sunk lower into the water uneasily: the thing of it was, though, that she'd been feeling watched since last week. Everywhere she went, she would catch a glimpse of a black cloak and before she could turn, it would be gone. She would be alone in the house, and things would move- her keys, her books, the remote.
It was beginning to freak her out, especially since she couldn't do anything about it.
Sighing, Sakura began to wash away the dirt and grime and tried to think of happier things. Like…Naruto?
Sakura laughed quietly, remembering just why they had the rest of the day off for missions. They'd been helping out a local famer with fertilizing his fields when Naruto did something incredibly stupid. Sakura had been talking with the farmer idly, smiling, when all the sudden Naruto screamed. They both turned to see him dancing around, limbs flying, around the field.
"Naruto?!" Sakura exclaimed in alarm.
"GET IT OFF GETITOFFGETITOFFFFF!!!"
"Get what off??!"
"THE MOUSE! GET IT AWAAAYYY!!" he screamed, and turned sharply. Suddenly, time froze as he began to fall, and Sakura couldn't help her roaring laughter as he collapsed into a pool of manure. The farmer groaned behind them.
"Owwwww~" Naruto groaned, sitting up. Sakura bent down to pick up the mouse scrambling away and tried to restrain her giggles.
"Is this what you were afraid of?" she wondered, making him glare.
"Shut up, Sakura."
It was then the farmer dismissed them, and Tsunade began her tirade on Naruto's idiocy, giving them the rest of the day off in case they 'were to mess up anything else, you asshole!'
Sakura smiled, looking down at the water. She pouted at the lack of bubbles and then immediately shivered when she realized the water had turned icy-cold. Goosebumps popped up along her flesh as she quickly stood, wrapping a towel around herself and towel drying her hair messily. She looked around for her clothes and with a curse, she found that she'd forgotten them in her room in a haste to be clean. Running her fingers through her hair, she opened the door before refolding her towel and unabashedly flashing her empty apartment in the process as she started for her room. She was halfway down the hall when suddenly something caught her eye, stopping her dead in her tracks.
"Hi!" was the chipper voice that greeted her from her bedroom door.
Sakura's eyes narrowed in alarm at the man leaning leisurely against her door. So this was Tobi? Quickly she checked to make sure her towel was secure and a flash of red graced her when she realized she'd indirectly given her guest a perfect view of her…nudity. Embarrassed beyond belief and a little nervous, she nodded.
"…hi," she finally allowed, remembering Deidara's warning as she started towards him slowly. In front of him, she cleared her throat and swallowed dryly. "E-excuse me," she muttered, "I need to get my clo-"
"No need." Was the new, smoother voice that answered her. No longer was it childish, but mature and full of authority. It sent panicked shivers down her spine as his chakra began to leak from him, seeping into her skin and making her legs shake unsteadily. Desperately she held her towel to her, staring at him with wide eyes as her mind began to conjure just what his words entailed.
"W-what?" she mouthed, thoughts once again returning to Deidara's urgent warning.
("I don't want to see you hurt, Sakura.")
Tobi chuckled and slowly began to advance on her. The sheer intensity of his one eyed gaze had her back to the wall in moments, trapped. His gloved hand came up to brush away a strand of drying hair from her forehead and at the contact, Sakura felt her knees give out. With his touch came the spark of chakra that immediately had her limbs feeling as if her bones had been replaced by jelly, and if she hadn't had the wall to her back, she would have fallen. "Please," she tried, wanting him to stop touching her like he was when she was so vulnerable like this, "please stop, I can't-"
A soft hiss escaped his lips, hushing her. He took her shaking hands from where they were melded to her chest, forcing them up to the edges of his mask. Her fingers twitched as she tried to fight him away but his grip remained, harder, helping her to hold and remove the mask slowly. It took what seemed like a lifetime to slip it off and as it did, inch by inch, flashing a smug smirk with a scarred left side, Sakura felt herself lose control. "Stop!" she yelped as she squeezed her eyes shut, trying to push him away. He only laughed darkly, pressing her against the wallpaper with his body and removing the plaster himself, forcing her to look at him.
"Open your eyes, Sakura," he commanded softly, and she did just that. Whether or not it was voluntarily, when she opened her eyes, her own gasp filled her ears in the quiet of her apartment.
"You're-!" she began to scream, desperate for someone to help her, when suddenly she was being forced to the wall and he was touching her and his lips were against her with a bruising force and she was kissing Uchiha supposed-to-be-dead Madara! Now she knew why Deidara had tried to make his warning so clear.
"We don't want anyone to hear, now do we?" he murmured in her ears as he paused to catch his breath, hand covering her mouth. Sakura's frightened eyes peered up at him pleadingly, but he only laughed. "Don't worry, dear, I won't-…" he stopped, looking down at her blankly, "-now that was entirely uncalled for, Sakura."
She narrowed her eyes at him. "Fmp dph if gamen!"
He pulled away his hand, examining the bite mark surreptitiously. "Pardon?"
"I said: and I'll do it again!" she growled, and he laughed in amusement.
"Fiery, aren't you?"
Her face turned an embarrassed shade of pink, and he guessed that would it be any other person, she would have hit them. Hard. "God damn you, let me-!" But instead of listening to her demands, he grabbed her hips, slammed her into the wall hard enough to daze her, and smashed his lips to hers once again roughly. He felt chakra gather in her fists a moment later and grasped her wrists, holding them well above her head. She screamed into his mouth in fury, aiming to kick, but his knee between her legs quickly halted her movements. His mouth continued to ravish her throughout the entire ordeal and after a while he felt her go limp beneath him. She fell against him, waited for it to be over, hoping it would go no further.
He seemed to sense her ultimate defeat because he pulled away just then, tracing her lip with his thumb. He smirked. "Smart girl," he murmured.
Slowly, she shook her head with her eyes screwed shut. "No," she whispered, "I'm not." It went quiet as his presence left her, and she opened her eyes. He was watching her thoughtfully, arms folded across his chest. They stared at each other for a few long moments. Then-
"I think you lost something, Sakura-chan."
And he smirked, disappearing, just before the wall behind him exploded with the force of her chakra-induced punch. "Damn you!" se screamed, face apple red as she hurried to go into her bedroom. Somewhere far away there was a laugh, and then all was quiet.

Holy crap, dudes. I'm uber sorry this took so long to get out!! I'm not allowed on during the week, and…yeah, basically I have no excuse. Sorry.
El-oh-el.
Anyway.
Don't know when the next one is coming out. I'll tell you now, though, it'll be a while. It's both Hidan and Kakazu together, and I have a basic outline but not much. I'm also trying to get my grades up, so it'll be hard. I promise nothing.
But if you review, it would totally give me some incentive to get my ass in gear. :)
