Just another day at the hospital, a slow paced one, a couple of kids got hurt while training, a man with a few broken bones, checkup tours then lunch…

As she was sitting on her desk, the door knocked and a nurse came in:

''Um sakura-chan, sorry to intrude but Tsunade-sama is calling for you ''

''where is she?''

''In her room…''

''Okay I will be there in a minute … '' Sakura sighed with relief as she thought something finally came up and she won't have to keep sitting here for the rest of the day but she was wrong. Tsunade-sama actually called her there to check on her and then send her home to get rest as there was nothing for her to do.

Walking home is a very natural act. Everyone is happy to head home after a long day at work but not her. She had to cross the village, meaning she had to take all the stares, and she had to pretend she didn't hear the whispers behind her back...

Walking through the busy streets on her own she found herself wishing…..

''I wish it was night time. I wish it was cloudy, dark, calm and cold… I wish it was one of those nights…those which their darkness can swallow me up, I wish it was one of those nights that i could hide within, one of those night were it feels like the entire world is sad so it wouldn't hurt this much, so I would think it's the same for everyone in a dark cold night. I wish it was midnight...''

But it's so bright, the sun is shining, birds are singing and people are staring… ''what should I do…where can I hide, how many more walls do I have to build? Everyone is around me yet I'm lonely. I have Naruto even if he is out of town, we still keep in touch, I have Ino, even if she spends most of her time daydreaming about Sai, I have Hinata as well, things are starting to move a bit faster for her and that baka. Everyone is happy and smiling then why am I stuck in this nightmare, the hole in my heart is so clear…

I want to scream but look at them staring at me, some pitting me already some silently judging me…dear night please come faster and faster I can't withstand this.''

''Save me''

She barely made it to her apartment, with shaky hands she opened the door and got in , she dropped her bag and threw herself on the bed, burying her face in the pillows. Feeling the frustration building up inside her, a lump rose on her throat and she was again at a war with herself. ''Why can't you move on? Why do you have to be the unhappy one? everyone has gotten a decent life by now and he … he made his choice...'' even though the search for him was still going, there was nothing else she could do, she was selfish enough to make Naruto suffer with her, no, he was his friend too, he made that choice or did she actually force him to?

She was torn apart and the only thing that could relief some of her anger at the moment was properly throwing a couple …hundred…punches…

She got up, changed and went out... through her window she jumped to the closest tree and headed to an empty field out of sight.

She was too focused on her inner feelings that she missed the two figures hiding in the woods following her every move …

after a couple of hours Sakura was painting and exhausted, she had already used a lot of chakra ... the figures hidden in the woods agreed it was time for their attack. Suddenly fog surrounded her from everywhere, Sakura was alerted...something was wrong, she stood from her place and before she tried to reach the top of a tree, something was coming at her, fast. She dodged the first strikes but soon was surprised by another figure, she could feel the pain twitching her muscles, for how long could she stand she could not know. With a second attack she was jumping from one place to another dodging flying kunais, senbons and her opponent 's fists when something twitched the back of her neck…She fell to the ground, she was too numb and her eyelids were getting heavier with every passing second...

She saw the two figures approaching and heard one of them speak:

"Well she was indeed troublesome''

"Let's just get her to the base now."

One of them helped the other get Sakura on his back and they set out calmly, fading within the fog. In the deep shadows of a far forest, the two man finally stopped, using some kind of genjutsu, a hidden door was unfolded from the ground and dark stairs appeared as they head in. soon they were standing in a room lit by a fire in the middle of it with 4 men surrounding it, they looked up as the two kidnappers walked in with Sakura.

"Sakura Haruno from the leaf, done."

"Good" whispered the man on the far left , " now we can move to the second part of our plan, as almost all of the great medic of the next generation are captured, the villages will send their best teams to track us "

"We will hit them as soon as our teams are settled, with no medics it won't take long to bring them down" a blonde man from the seated talked.

"Lock her away" he added.

With these words Sakura was taken even deeper into the ground and locked in a small dark room, lying unconscious.

The place was divided into individual cells,with a long walkway, its dumb air was suffocating and the darkness was blinding at night and barely tolerable at day. They have built another world underneath the ground, a world still unfamiliar to Sakura.

However not far away, in another hideout, Sasuke walked into a gathering of Orochimaru's people and sat silently in a dark corner hearing the others talk about this new organization, the Black Swords, and how they have been planning for a very long time to seize control over the shinobi world. Sensing their strength, Orochimaru was weighting in joining them. But being in a world of his own Sasuke had already decided to ask for a leave to check on something, something he left behind a while ago.

Arriving at mid-day to Konoha, he headed for the hospital, in the shadows he watched silently Tsunade-sama's empty room until a furious Ino walked in followed by Tsunade herself and Shizune

"Who is possibly stupid enough to kidnap Sakura?! What the hell do they want? I can't believe this!" Ino yelled while storming inside the room.

"calm down" shizune said, "we need to be careful since we have no idea what's going on, we should assemble a team to track them down but they could have gotten far by now, what do you think tsunade-sama?"

"Send for Kakashi to come, we need to form a team as soon as possible…." She trailed off as she felt they had company, before she could be sure, Sasuke leapt off the tree and disappeared, already confirming what he had suspected. Sakura is kidnapped. Sakura is in danger.

Sasuke picked up his speed crossing the forest to their hideout, with already a plan forming in his mind. He had to convince Orochimaru of letting him go spy on this organization. He would fake interest and loyalty in the hope of getting in, he might even help bring them one of the Fire 'medics. He would bring Orochimaru the information he wanted and also be able to see…Sakura.

Not wasting any time, as soon as he arrived he went into orochimaru's room and told him about his plan, it didn't take much to convince a power-thirsty Orochimaru. Now Sasuke had to pack a few things and head to the Fire's village.

Meanwhile in a dark underground cell, Sakura was regaining consciousness and her eyes began to slowly open, she looked around her and tried to move herself up from the ground but her limbs were too heavy ''poison'' she thought to herself, when she finally managed to sit up and lean against the wall, she realized she was being held captive in an underground prison, she heard muffled cries and whispers around her and with that she understood that she was not the only one taken, but why was she taken? Who were these people and what did they want from her? From all of them…

Carrying an unconscious body on his shoulder, he wondered if it would take them long enough to find him.

When the night settled in he decided to camp and get some rest, it was a very long day after all, making a fire and sitting in front of it with a man's body leaning against a tree not far from him. After a while Sasuke closed his eyes and his heart beat slowed down…not much longer he sensed two amounts of chakra approaching, he kept his eyes closed but all of his other senses on high alert. When they reached him but made no movement Sasuke opened his eyes to find a man and a women facing him from across the fire.

"Sasuke Uchiha huh?" the man spoke first

"hn."

"What do you plan on doing with him?" asked the women signaling with her head to the body next to them.

"I thought he would be helpful to get your attention"

"Oh really? And who are we I wonder?" responded the red haired man who was trying to hold back his laughter,

"The black swords"

The man's face turned serious, realizing the guy in front of him actually knew what he was talking about:

"I see, and why do you seek our attention?"

"Isn't already obvious?" the sarcastic tone was evident in Sasuke's voice.

"You want in?" the man almost sounded surprised

"Yes."

The strangers looked at each other for a while before the women spoke:

"You'll have to come with us."
