Sorry for the wait, it's been a long month. Without farther ado, let the show begin.

…...

She wouldn't do it; no matter how much those two stared with their begging eyes she wouldn't do it. They wanted to take her shopping after seeing the wet rags she wore, they wouldn't let up! She would like to say she wanted to go home, to not burden them with her ugly presence any longer, but she'd be lying. She loved being here, fed, warm, and accepted for the first time in her life. It wouldn't be that way when they found out just what they were doing this all for.

"I can't accept a gift so large! You already feed me and give me shelter!"

They both reacted with snorts of disbelief, Madara began to speak.

"Now, now, we do it because we want to… You wouldn't deny us would you?"

He leaned over her form, speaking once more.

"Please, don't deny us?"

Then she sensed something horrible, a dark seething chakra. Mandara turned pale and slowly turned to look over his shoulder.

"What. Are. You. Doing?

Behind him stood a furious Itachi and a scared and horrified Sasuke. Mandara looked down at the way his body was positioned, then remembered what exactly had came out of his mouth not two seconds earlier.

"Wait, now.. be reasonable!"

A flustered Mandara screamed as he was dragged into the hallway, his nails leaving deep gouges in the floorboards. The door was shut behind him, leaving a confused girl and a relived male. That is until the screams started up again, then said male quickly replaced it with fear.

'What if he comes back?'

The curious girl looked on as the ebony-haired male began to crawl out of the second story window, she listened as a crash sounded just as her door opened once more. Yet, she was relived; at least she didn't have to go into town. Itachi quietly closed the door behind him, glancing once at the window before gliding across the floor. He crouched in front of her, looking into her eyes as she sat.

Then a grin spread across his face.

"I hear you're in need of some clothing."

…...

Sasori was beginning to think he was going insane, he couldn't relax. He would look up at every flash of pink, every glint of green. He was sure he would never see her again, yet he couldn't stop looking. It seemed as if he would never be rid of this curse, but if he did find his cure…. his pink-haired angel that stepped into his garden.

He wasn't planning on letting her go.

…...

Her heart was beating a mile a minute, she couldn't stop shaking! She was in town, and though they didn't know it was her she was scared just the same. As soon as she heard those words slip past his lips she knew this would come. She had been able to avoid the requests to go out the last couple of days she'd been staying there, but when Itachi asked as well she knew she had no choice.

That didn't mean she couldn't keep them in the dark for a little longer… Her request for a hat had confused them but she didn't think they suspected anything… Expect maybe Itachi, but if he was he didn't show it.

With the hat covering up her awful ( in her opinion ) hair, she had been getting odd looks from some of male population. She had seen them before, but it was never directed at her… Oddly enough, whenever one seemed to be about to talk to her, they'd suddenly turn away. She sighed; even when they didn't recognize her they still feared her.

…...

What she didn't notice was the three dark and almost identical glares that seemed to form a cloud surrounding Sakura. Now they knew she was attractive, in fact, they knew this very well. Yet… There was no need for every man and their brother to try and take her from them! For once the Uchihas were a united front, and though they probably wouldn't be hugging and dancing in rainbows anytime soon, they could at least protect Sakura…

I mean that's all they were doing right? Just protecting the delicate ( They ignored her feat of surviving and fighting back with the wounds she had had. ) female from the horrible monster that is the male species. (They also ignored that they were part of that gender. ) They weren't possessive at all. One brave soul walked up and touched her arm in greeting while they were busy glaring.

Itachi almost broke it. She was then dragged away by the fuming Mandara, followed by both of the others. She was confused.

She usually only ever heard those screams within the Uchiha mansion.

…...

No one noticed the small, almost invisible pink strand of hair escape the tight grip of her hat.

…...

Yellow eyes peered into the darkness of the cell, a sick smile covering the owner's face. It was malicious, and focused on the beaten person inside.

"You are nothing, absolutely nothing." "Understand?"

They didn't move, but responded in a dull voice.

"Understood, Orochimaru-sama."

He was left again in the darkness.

…...

Sakura was having a good time for the first time in a long while. Well, that was up until two unfamiliar arms encircled her waist and a chin propped it self up on her head. The cool voice that followed the embrace just confused her more.

"I finally found you, doll."

And that's when all hell broke loose.

…...

Well, I wrote a little more then I usually do so… I'll start here and start trying to increase the chapter size… That is, if you guys review. So, I'll see you in the next chapter! Tah Tah!
