Disclaimer: I do not own characters used in this story.

Author's Note: Okay, so I've been M.I.A. for like almost a year, right? I'm sorry! Slowly starts to back away. I've been pretty busy with life and its amazing twists and turns. However, I've been abundantly blessed as a result. No pun intended. So here's the deal with my other stories. I've been contemplating about revising "Exactly What It Looks Like," or deleting it and start anew. Anyways, let me know what you think.

So here's the story, you've all been waiting for.

Oh! Here is something that might make up for my absence. This is actually an exclusive sneak-peak at the real story that I've been thinking about these past few months. It does have something to do with their current situations as ninjas.

Sorry for any grammatical errors. D

Inspiration: Moulin Rouge. The movie Not that I am going to write a Naruto version of the movie, but feel free to go on right ahead.

Curtains!

"Oh, come on! This is boring! At least have some entertainment, yeah?" said a very distraught, yet bored Akatsuki member as he remains in his bubble.

It was hard enough that the ninjas have caught them all, but draining their chakra as they remain useless inside a glass-made sphere was pure inhumane torture, not that he would consider himself a human. Deidara, along with the rest of the Akatsuki members, the remaining three Uchihas, Madara, Sasuke, and a resurrected Itachi, and Team Hawk fomerly known as Snake each remained prisoners of the glass-made spheres, individually.

"Shut…..Up!" said a very annoyed Kisame.

Deidara pouted and sighed as he sat down.

"I swear, if I don't get out of here, I'm…going…to…scream!" whispered Karin, sadistically.

The men winced as they heard this. Even the ever-stoic Madara, co-founder of Konoha, winced.

A woman screaming is the last LAST! thing I would want to hear right now, thought many.

"Fine! Since you guys obviously want some entertainment, how about this?!" said a very bored Shikamaua. He was on security detail for the evening, and he really didn't want to deal with some squabbling prisoners, and a screaming red-head.

Deidara looked up an caught a glimpse of the DVD held in his hand. So there is a Kami!

"Yay! Play it, play it!"

"If I wasn't stuck in here, you'd be soooo dead!" deadpanned Kisame.

Others saw it useless to say anything because they knew, as long as they were held in separate spheres, Deidara would never shut up.

"Alright, troublesome idiots," whispered Shikamaru, not caring who would hear him.

He place the DVD in the slot and pressed play.

"What is it?" asked a curious Deidara.

Shikamaru sighed, "It's a clip of the dance done by some of the ninjas in Konoha, to commemorate Ninja Celebration Day." It was either that, or community service for the whole month! thought Shikamaru.

"OKAY!" yelled a chipper Deidara.

The opening of the DVD stated "Le Tango De Roxanne"

Everybody were silent, not really caring as to what the DVD showed. Nonetheless, they were grateful for the silence it brought.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of all ages, Behold...Le Tango De Roxanne!" said Jiraiya in dress pants, with a red suit and a stick in his hand.

The curtains opened and there, Sakura stood in the middle of the stage. She was wearing a corset-styled top, with the skirt flowing well beneath her. Her hair was made side ways, bringing the curls over her left shoulder.

Then, the music started. Cue: Le Tango De Roxanne by the Cast of Moulin Rouge and Jose Feliciano.

The dancers start to pile out, creating what looked like a crowd.

Roxanne
You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right

Sakura waved through a crowd of dancers, as she feels like she is being stalked by a dark being. As she does so, each male dancer pulls her, and they start to dance. Each one grabbing the other before the dance gets a bit sensual. She keeps wading through the crowd as the dark being shows who he really is...Sai. Sai is seen smirking deviously at her.

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night

As Sakura waves through the crowd, Naruto sees her and chases after her. She grabs her wrist and pulls her towards him.

His eyes upon your face

He looks at her face, and caresses it. He is mouthing the words as he does so.

His hand upon your hand

Sakura stretches out her hand, and Naruto follows it with his own and holds it in place as he place his other hand on her stomach.

His lips caress your skin

He brings he lips to meet the soft skin of her neck.

It's more than I can stand

He furiously turns her around and hold her close to him, as their foreheads touch.

Roxanne
Why does my heart cry?

She struggles to get away from him, as he shakes her to look at him.

Roxanne
Feelings I can't fight

He finally lets go of her, as she falls to the ground.

You're free to leave me, just don't decieve me
And please believe me when I say...

He crouches to be leveled with her, and brings their foreheads together.

I love you

A small little man appears as the dancers silently dance to the beat, all in unison, as Sakura and Naruto stay glued to the ground.

Te he dejado
Me dejastes
En el alma se me fue
Se me fue el corazon
Ya no puedo mas vivir
Porque no te puedo convencer
Que no te vendas Roxanne

Naruto looks at her and walks away. Sakura gets up, and is pulled by Sai, who is grinning sadistically at her. She pulls away from him and runs.

She goes in and out of the crowd.

Roxanne
Why does my heart cry?

Sakura looks around to find that she is being surrounded by all the dancers, Naruto, and Sai. They circle her as the song continues.

Roxanne
Feelings I can't fight

They divide into two and start dancing.

Naruto walks up to Sakura, takes her by the hand and they start dancing. Along with all the dancers.

Naruto brings his arm around Sakura's stomach and pulls her towards him. Their movements smooth and precise. He turns her and let her walk a few steps from him as he pulls her closer. The dancers start to dissolve as Naruto and Sakura remain on the stage. They start to move fiercely with each steps matching each other.

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Finally, as the song comes to an end, Naruto turns Sakura around, pulls her close to him, as he brings one of her legs come up to his waist and he slowly takes her backward with his handing supporting her back. He stops as she is almost at a lying position, with one of her legs propped up and showing and held at Naruto's waist with the compliments of Casanova, himself, Naruto.

He looks at her, sweat racing down her head.

Simultaneously, Naruto and the youngest Uchiha silently breathed out…..

'Sakura'
Roxanne

Unbeknownst to the rest, Sasuke sat there eyeing the Television set, hoping that it would burn up soon, and dissolve into nothingness. He hated this

He hated the way Deidara was talking too much.

He hated the way Kisame countered Deidara's meaningless banters.

He hated being stuck in the glass sphere, powerless.

He hated being a prisoner to the very village that ordered his brother to kill his family.

He hated the T.V. and the DVD player.

He hated that show.

He hated the act.

He hated the song.

He hated the dance.

He hated him for being his replacement. Not that he cared.

He hated it all!

Lastly…..

He hated how they look so perfectly together.

He hated him, because he could do what he would probably never do. Oh how wrong what our minds lead us to think.

He hated her, because she lied to him.

Lies, that is all they were. LIES! thought Sasuke.

The lights came back on to reveal a teary-eyed Deidara on a verge of a breakdown.

"Brava! Brava! That was…sniff…beautiful! sniff" said Deidara.

The lights went off in the sphere and footsteps were heard. The prisoners couldn't see outside their sphere. However, outside was perfectly fine.

Sakura was half-way through the aisle with spheres on each side, because she had some messages to relay to Shikamaru from his darling wife, Ino. Oh, she is a darling, alright.

She was clad in a black coat that stopped mid-thigh with a belt around her waist and black string stilettos, as her creamy white legs showed.

As she took a step further, Naruto showed up… He switched on the button that was supposed to make it pitch black in the spheres.

Sakura kept on walking and not knowing what Naruto had did. Naruto was just as clueless.

"Gosh, Saki, you look like you're in pain," said Naruto, smirking.

"Really, Naruto?" replied Sakura sarcastically.

"Eh?"

"It's the shoes! They're torturing devices I tell you!"

The prisoners remained silent, due to the fact that this had been the first time they had seen her since they were held captive, seven long months ago. Some had already recovered from the shock and looked on at the scene that was happening outside the spheres.

"Well, if it helps, your legs-," Naruto couldn't finish the sentence, as he had seen Sakura take off one of the pair.

"Finish that sentence, and I'll shove this soooo high up your arse, that even Pakkun won't be able to sniff it out," seethed Sakura.

"Ahem!"

Sakura turned around to face Shikamaru, only to see him shake his head at her.

And then she heard a tapping on a glass. She slowly turned, and looked at Deidara, standing there, looking at her. Right at her!

She turned her attention back to the switches, only to find that the switch she had turned on, was turned off??

Naruto, you poor guy, thought Shikamaru.

"Naruto…..you…..have…..five…..seconds……to-," Sakura didn't even finish as Naruto darted out the door. Sakura was close behind him.

"See ya later," sighed Shikamaru. I guess some things just don't change. Shikamaru smiled at the thought. They just never do. Heh.

"I loved the dance! You're my hero!" screamed Deidara. Everybody sweat-dropped at this.
