SORRY for not udating in a long time!

Pein snapped out of it first.

"Well, your better than I thought." He said shaking his head after taking a step back.

"Your not bad yourself." Sakura said smirking, but all the same feeling the pain in her own cheek.

'This guy sucks! That really hurt, dammit!' Inner yelled. 'I.S., I can't defeat him. I know that for a fact, but can you help me hold him off? Just for a while, at least until comes back with the others.

Sakura didn't hear anything for a while, then a sigh. 'Okay, but your totally paying me back!'

Sakura smile. Pein just stared at her.

"Naiteki Kage Bushin no Justu!" Sakura said loudly. Suddenly, Sakura multiplied into two. But, it wasn't like a regular bushin. Instead of coming out of nowhere, this one melted out of her. And it looked different, too. All black. Blaack hair, black eyes, black clothes, black skin...

Pein stared, his eyes showed confusion, although his face was the same stoic face as always. Sasuke had the same eyes and such, but his face showed a little of his confusion.

"Well, I'll be going. To find more people to kill. Have fun.." Then Sasuke jumped and disappeared into the night.

Sakura and her bushin, also known to Sakura as I.S., turned to chase Sasuke when Pein blocked them from leaving.

"Hey! You, Mr. Asshole. Get out of our way!" I.S. yelled at him.

Pein smirked.

"No." He simply said, trying to get her anger to focus on him.

I.S. was suddenly behind him. She was going kick him, but he turned and grabbed her leg, throwing her to the ground. ...She didn't 'poof' away. As her body hit the ground, it made the usual 'thump' sound.

Pein looked surprised. Looking around to see if there were any tricks, her saw her forehead. Words were inscripted on it.

'Inner Sakura'.

His eyes widened slightly. 'An inner being...' he thought.

I.S. started struggling to get free. Pein blinked, remembering that he was holding her leg. Letting go, he disappeared.

"Where'd he go!?" Inner said, obivously mad. She stood up and her eyes widened.

"I.S.?" Sakura asked.

Inner stood there for another second, then melted into the ground. A sealing paper was on her back.

"Inner!?" Sakura yelled running over to the paper.

A hand grabbed it, lifting it. It was Pein.

"My, my, Haruno. Never thought you of all people would have a split personality in you." He sid, shaking the paper in the end. He ripped it.

A shriek of sadness parted through Sakura's lips for a second. Only a second. Her face turn severly angry. She ran towards him.

"How dare you do that to Inner!" She screamed at him.

"Heh? I didn't find it fair. Two against one." He said, blocking one of her punches with his hand.

A sickening crack issued. Grabbing his hand in pain, he jumped on top of a roof.

"Haruno... You sparked my interest."
