Wow, lookit me, updating so fast.

It was obvious to Sakura that Hiei-slash- You know what, forget it. Kurama calls him Hiei, she would, too. In her mind. Because he was still a Sasuke-Look-Alike, so therefore, she would not satisfy him with the knowledge that she knew his name. So.

It was obvious to Sakura that Hiei was going to hunt down Kabuto.

It was equally obvious to Kurama and Hiei that the ningen, Sakura, was going to follow them. Since she was, already. Talking the whole damn way. Funny, but you'd think a shinobi'd be a bit stealthier, what with the pink hair, and constant chattering.

So, she didn't even notice when two guards hurried down the hall they were in. Without a word, Hiei turned and moved at her, Kurama going to…um…disable the guards. And by 'disable', I mean 'kill'.

"What are you doin-" Hiei cut off Sakura's inquiry, shoving her into a shadowed alcove against the wall. "Mlmph!" she said in indignation, eyes widened in shock. This was the most compromising position she'd been in with a boy- man, she amended- and Hiei was rather…fit. She tried to shove him off her, but he grabbed her wrists, pinioning them to her sides. "Stop." he ordered her, voice a low rumble in her chest.

Far from complying, she struggled all the more. He replied by moving closer to her, crushing her between the cold stone and his body.

Sakura had never felt so helpless. She was a kunoichi. She was strong. She had worked hard to get where she was.

But, Hiei…well, she didn't know what he was. He was stronger, far stronger than her. And, doubtless, he'd worked harder. The muscles she was currently hyper-aware of were proof of that.

He'd be able to do whatever he liked, and Sakura would be powerless to stop him.

Ooooh, Sakura is having a bit of a misunderstanding! I wonder what will happen next! Wait...No, that's not right. I KNOW, what's going to happen. YOU guys are the ones wondering! Hahaha! But, anyway, the next chapter'll be out soon! (And it'll be out faster if you read and review!)
