Shikamaru walked in after her and looked around, "wow..." he said looking around, "this is a nice house...." he smiled, "a small living room...a bedroom....a bathroom...." he said turning to her, "do you live here by yourself?"
"How dare you....." Kakuzu said angered now, "Sakura.....get out of here....another Akatsuki member will find you....leave these two and their fight to me....." he took the hearts from his mask and put them in a safe pouch on him, "I'll kill them both...." he said as the masks flew off his back and began shooting elemental blasts at Naruto and Sasuke, he charged at them both as well swinging his arms letting the thread cut anything in there way.
"Sure...." Shikamaru smiled, "I don't think I've ever been in your house....." he said, "it looks like a good one...."
"Ah there you are....." Last smiled hugging her, "thought you might have left....I had an idea....of making a list of events we could all participate in....."
Kakuzu gritted his teeth at the pain of the fire, "Sakura....." he said, "I'm not leaving here without you...." he said forcing a heart into himself, "now give her back....." he said throwing his arm and cutting Narutos legs. "As for you Uchiha.....Earth Style: Roaring Rockslide....." he said as a huge wall of stone smashed against him.
Last continued to wait, "hmm...is someone using this one?" he said walking over to the other one and pushing the button, "maybe this one would be better....." he said waiting again.
Shikamaru gently wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and holding her close, he gently kissed her hoping she was enjoying it as much as he was.
Last made it to the elevator and he pushed the button, "hopefully shes not sleeping in like some people...." he laughed to himself, "or maybe she already left...." he said as he waited.
Shikamaru leaned forward and gently kissed her again, "did you like that one too?" he smiled, "or could we both use some more....." he grinned.
Kakuzu winced with pain, "even if I die....Sakura will get out of here safely....." he grinned, "and yes Akatsuki is a family...."
"I'll ask her today...alone....." Silax said putting a book up and heading to the lobby, "I wonder where everyone is....I would guess they are in the lobby....although Katara wasn't there....."
"Oh I see...." Shikamaru said leaning close to her, "well then....it wouldn't shock you if I told you I was going to kiss you again right....?" he smiled.
"Back off painter....." Kakuzu said detaching his arms and using the threads to slice the beast apart, he reached out his arms and threw them at the Naruto clones knocking them away from Sakura, he grabbed Sakura and pulled her to him, "I have to find a safe place for you....then I can fight these fools...."
"Little shocked?" Shikamaru said somewhat confused, "I thought we both liked each other? I thought you would enjoy a kiss....and maybe it would also help you feel better...."
Kakuzu got up, "fool....you are going to pay....." he said cracking his neck, "especially for what you have done to Sakura....like I said you hurt one member of the family....you die by the whole family....."
Last sighed, "I think I will do that.....make a list of events everyone either choose to do or not to do....." he said getting up, "I wonder if Destiny is awake....." he said heading to the elevator.
Silax portaled back to the library of headquarters, "I wonder if Garxena is ready...." he said, "perhaps we could get married tomorrow....we have been planning some....."
"And do you think those villages know our true purpose.....no.....just like you....." Kakuzu said gently laying a hand on Sakura, "Akatsuki will always be here for you...."
Shikamaru sighed, "I suppose it wasn't that good was it...." he said, "guess I'm not able to be a good kisser....sorry.....tried to help you feel better...."
"We don't know of one yet....but your a medical ninja too aren't you...." Kakuzu said, "with your help....perhaps there could be a way....."
