Hello everyone! I have redone this chapter in hopes that my story doesn't get deleted. I wasn't aware we could not use song lyrics in a fanfiction unless we wanted it deleted. So the song lyrics are edited out but it still follows the same layout.

I do not own any of the characters in Naruto or the anime/manga Naruto itself. All rights go to their respective owners.

Enjoy!

"Stay away from me!" Sakura shouted, her voice betrayed her, echoing her fear. Her pink hair was wet from the rain and the mud she'd been running through to avoid these men. It didn't make sense, they should all be dead! There is absolutely no way for them to be alive right now. One of the men shuffled their feet slightly in her direction. Sakura's head snapped to attention then, her green eyes locked on the men before her.

"You know I can't do that, Sakura," the puppet-no, the newly formed man- tilted his head to the side with a dazed expression, "It's like you're a drug."

Sakura was sure she killed him, she DID kill him, then how is he here before her? Why is she on the forest ground covered in mud, shaking in her very boots before them? Was Chiyo-baa's sacrifice meaningless then? The men in cloaks had her surrounded, with her backed up against a tree in the forest surrounding Konoha. The shivering pinkette had nowhere to run.

Sakura glared at Sasori with all she was worth, trying –and failing- to show them their appearance didn't scare her in the slightest.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, nor do I care. Just leave me the hell alone!" Sakura's hand crept slowly to the kunai pouch strapped to her med-skirt. Pein caught this from the corner of his eye and lifted his head up to look at her.

"It's like you're a demon I can't face down."He muttered softly, his eyes penetrating her body. Sakura's head whirled towards the pierced man and dropped into a defensive position. Perhaps, if she could find a distraction for these men, she could leap up the tree she was currently backed against. Oh, but she was so tired too! She didn't think she had enough chakra left in her to outrun the Akatsuki. Sakura lowered her head slightly, her bangs shadowing her eyes.

She whispered helplessly.

"It's like I'm stuck…it's like I'm running from you all the time."She was tired of hearing their names, glancing over her shoulder every now and again for the men who were trying to capture her best friend. She was paranoid, scared…trapped.

Sakura whimpered as the other Akatsuki members inched closer to her. No, she can't give up now, not to these demented men. She'd be letting her village down, herself down, even Naruto down.

"I know I let you have all the power…But that's going to change. I'm not going to let my fear of you get in the way of what matters to me…I won't let you have Naruto!" She shouted, her strength resolving. Hidan scoffed then, adjusting the scythe on his shoulder. This stalemate standoff was getting more and more tense and it seemed to be happening whenever she was on her own. It's like the only company I seek is misery all aroundwith the way I'm always in trouble.

"Fuck, if we were here for Naruto, then what would be the fucking point of chasing you? Like seriously…" he muttered. "Besides," Hidan looked up from under his eyelashes, his eyes darkening with an unreadable emotion.

"It's like you're a leech, sucking the life from me. It feels fucking amazing, seriously." Sakura shuddered at the husky tone Hidan's voice was laden with. She couldn't help but notice some of the other Akatsuki members glaring at Hidan then. While their eyes were diverted to Hidan, the pinkette shoved her hand into her kunai pouch, grabbed a kunai and threw it directly at one of the members. However, the member she blindly threw the kunai to was none other than her ex-teammate's brother.

Itachi's tomoe spun slowly, tantalizingly at the kunai rocketing towards his face. He lifted up his hand and caught the kunai swiftly and effortlessly. Closing his eyes briefly, he shook his head side to side.

"You truly have no clue how much you're worth. How we can't function, how we can't be motivated, how I can feel anything without you inside of me." Damn it, Sakura's body was betraying her as it shivered at the words the Uchiha threw in her direction. But could she really blame her body that was no stranger to the charms of an Uchiha? Her knees were knocking, her hands trembling, and her breathing coming in short gasps. This couldn't be happening. This was just too damn impossible.

Deidara, who was sick of everyone just waiting around at this point, took a few more steps towards the frightened kunoichi.

"And I know I let you have all the power un, but you're a drug, a fleeting work of art! The biggest bang that could ever be created, yeah." Itachi stepped in, cutting off whatever it was the blonde was going to say next.

"And I realize I'm never going to quit you over time." The bomber glared at the Uchiha, always getting in his way. Sakura was really having a hard time now, her body was pushed to overexertion and was trembling in exhaustion.

"It's like I can't breathe." She was able to gasp out to herself but it was loud enough for Itachi's partner, Kisame to hear.

The ex-mist nin saw Sakura beginning to show signs of a severe panic attack. The short gasps, the trembling, and the mud soaked clothes weren't doing her any favors either. If the Akatsuki were going to go through with their plan, they were going to have to do it fast. Tobi, who was unusually silent through the whole thing, shushiined right next to Sakura, causing her to recoil back violently. His hand reached up brushing the rain-soaked hair out of her eyes.

"It's like I can't see anything, nothing but you, pretty Sakura." He cooed at her. Sakura had only met Tobi once but he was hyper and annoying, but this Tobi was dark, more sinister compared to the first meeting they had. Sakura quickly tried to move away from Tobi but was held in place by black threads. Stomach filled with dread she looked up over her shoulder to the other Zombie Brother behind her.

"I'm addicted to you, so much strength in such a tiny fragile body." Kakuzu uttered in husky voice. His green eyes locked with her own. It was clear. Sakura had lost. Zetsu emerged from the base of the tree behind her then, wrapping his arms around her in a strangling embrace.

"It's like I can't think without you interrupting me." Both Zetsus finishing the sentence. Sakura could do no more then let out a few tears in defeat and let out a choked sob in horror. With her unspoken submission, the rest of the Akatsuki members surrounded her.

To be continued…

So basically the lyrics are taken out but the words are the same…if that makes sense. That should be better and I'm not doing anything illegal since now they are just words! YAY! Comment, review, favorite and all the jazz. For every review, you can fee a starving author just like the ones shown here. (Depressing music plays in the background) Hope you enjoyed this chapter and if you did, HOLLA BACK! (Unless, you ain't no holla back girl. Then I understand…you don't realize I just laughed for five minutes at that lame pun. God, I'm bored.)
