I'm very sorry for the long wait, I've been very ill. If you were wondering about that, your curiosity has been fulfilled. Anywho, I suppose I should get on with it then.

…...

He didn't know how long he'd been here; they'd kept him here for years. All he could remember was his name but even that was fading. Did he even deserve that name anymore? He and the others could be considered nothing but monsters now. Hell, their captors had told them so enough times. He wanted out, out of this dank dark cage.

…yet, even with all the wishes that rolled around in his head the one that called the loudest was the cry of acceptance. Even as a monster, he was human.

…...

"The plan needs to move back, we've been drawing to much attention from Orochimaru."

The blonde scowled at the news, his blue eyes narrowed in anger.

"What the hell! I've worked my ass off gathering those explosives!"

The tall man replied calmly, but there was power behind his voice.

"Your methods have attracted too many eyes our way, you and that damn Jashinist."

The blond opened his mouth to speak once more but the orange-haired male cut him off.

"Silence, you are dismissed."

…...

"You got reprimanded again, didn't you?"

The longhaired male grumbled his response.

"I'm sorry? Come again? I don't speak FUCKING moron."

Said moron flinched, then grew, in obvious anger.

"What did you call me?"

The silver-haired instigator already huge smile grew as the man grabbed a hold on his shirt. He fisted the blondes clothing in his hand as well.

"I called you an F-U-C-K-I-N-G M-O-R-O-N, or are you DEAF as well as a damn MUTE?"

They both growled and sparks flew as their anger inflated; curses filled the air.

"Stop."

That command was easily separated from the strings of insults and heavy sounds of fist against skin. They looked up, spotting the Cheshire-like smile of their very own copycat ninja.

"…Because you know what look like right? You're acting as if you're two cats in heat."

The man turned on heel and walked swiftly down the hallway, curses and loose weapons following him.

…...

"Sooo cute!"

Madara was suffocating her; she was honestly scared for her life. They had insisted she wear the new clothing today; she understood them looking to see if it fit. What she didn't understand was the blushing faces or Madara's current attempt at killing her. Itachi, snapping out of his trance-like state quickly removed him. (Quite violently in her opinion.)

As she gasped for air, Sasuke seemed to magically appear at her side, looping a long arm around her shoulder and slowly leading her away.

"I'll help you try on the rest, ok?"

To which statement Itachi and Madara immediately reacted. In seconds, Itachi was standing over him; Sasuke faintly imagined a dragon breathing fire from above… Sakura's weight was gone from underneath his arm. That, that was about the time there was a knock on the door; Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief. Itachi put on a professional face and walked to the door.

Sakura hid behind Madara as the door opened.

"Hyuuga?"

Said man smiled and moved past him, reaching behind Madara quickly and pulling Sakura's hand to his lips.

"What a lovely lady."

…...

Neji sat on their couch, beaten and bruised, glaring at the Uchihas. They may have overreacted, but seeing as a member of the rival clan just appeared out of nowhere and tried to woo Sakura; they were less then sympathetic.

"You didn't have to punch me…"

This was pointed at Itachi, who, as usual, reacted with more force then necessary. Meaning, he pummeled him into the floorboards, but that's beside the point. He sat in their living room and seemed to know Sakura. This was not okay in the Uchiha's books.

"You know Sakura?"

The elf-like man scowled and spoke.

"No, I've only seen her once or twice… Yet I've decided…."

The males only looked as though he had half their attention.

"…As of now you have a rival in me!"

That went over well….

…...

Well, that's done. In addition, to whom it may concern, I have drawn some pictures of the above story. (Moreover, Others of mine.) They are at DeviantArt; my username is the same as here. Check it out if ya want. Review. Tah Tah.
