Chapter One:

The Strange Stone Circle

It had been six weeks, SIX! Since Tsunade-Sama had sent Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji out on a simple, or seemingly simple, reconnaissance mission to the Land of Tea, where they were to confirm sightings of Akatsuki members that had shot throughout the Sand Ninja's intelligence. It had been shortly before Naruto returned from his initial training, so he wasn't aware of this yet, which Sakura thanked Kami for, or he'd have insisted to go with them on this silly mission. Normally Tusnade would have sent Sakura, Ino or Choji on their own or with just two but with the sightings apparently being of the Akatsuki? All three went. Ino for her Mind Control jutsu's, Choji for his Multi-Size techniques and Sakura for her immense strength and medical knowledge in case they ran into one of the infamous band of rogue ninja.

"I can't believe it was such a waste of time." Grumbled the blond haired beauty racing beside the pink haired kunoichi only a day later after they said their goodbyes from the Wasabi family, Ino spending some time getting to know Idate a little bit, while Choji had learned a bit about the foods that were in the Tea country. Sakura and her crew had learned that the reports had been true, but also that the member had been gone for close to a full week now and its traces had vanished in a storm that had happened two days ago.

Leaping off of a thick tree-branch to a slimmer one that bent a little under her weight, Sakura called a halt when Ino complained, looking up at her companions who'd taken a couple of thicker tree branches higher up on adjacent trees. "I know Ino, but we had to follow orders. It's nearly noon, do you guys want to keep going or stop for something to eat?" Placing her hand on her hips, she walked up the side of the tree trunk, the concentration needed to do that not taking even an eighth of her attention or chakra.

It had taken her the least amount of time to learn such simple energy control when Kakashi had shown them while she, Naruto and Sasuke were Genins and her control had gone nowhere but further since she'd been taken under Tsunade's wing. The memory of Tsunade's ideas of 'training' had been to.....well, pretty much blow her up whenever the time came for some reason, but Sakura was glad of it of course, any training that could help her help her friends when they needed it was a good thing.

Seventeen(Jama: no idea how old she is in the movies and stuff anymore) years old and more than a little grown up now, Sakura was the same height as Ino whom was on the branch that the group leader stopped on, Choji being close by so no one had to yell or speak in anything above a whisper. "I'm alright Sakura, Choji, how're you doing?" Ino nodded to her pink haired rival slash best friend of many years, then glanced over at the round form of their mutual friend. Choji had gotten bulkier, never, EVER say that he's fat, even thinking it is dangerous, over the couple of years since Naruto had left with the Senin named Jiraiya to train further and harder than he could in his hometown of Konoha, but Choji had also grown more mature and his fighting style had gotten much better as well.

Sakura didn't like to dwell on the reasons why he'd left, and certainly held no little amount of bitterness towards Sasuke Uchiha, whom she had well and truly loved what seemed like ages ago. The betrayal of him leaving Konoha, especially that one night when he'd knocked her out and left her on the bench, had lodged in her heart, and though she still with Ino over him occasionally when she had nothing better to do, Sakura had grown up. She still cared greatly for Sasukes well being of course but....she'd never love him again like she had when she was younger.

Choji nodded his agreement, though he took a moment to pull out a protein bar from his weapons pouch and began to eat while the three took off again through the branches silently. Ino did the same and Sakura followed shortly after, each needing to keep their energy up for the weeklong race back to their hometown of the Leaf Village. The darkening skies overhead were sounding out like troops of soldiers' feet within hours of their conversation however and the winds that whipped the tree branches around was nearly hurricane force. If that wasn't bad enough, the rain that began to fall soon stung the eyes and face like shards of cold glass. Nearing nightfall, the three of them decided that it would be best to find something in the way of shelter and one by one, dropped out of the tree branches into a clearing......and right into the midst of a stone circle.

Straightening up, Sakura shivered slightly, her senses stretching after a faint buzz that travelled down her spine as soon as she put her feet on the ground. It was an unfamiliar area, one that none of them had noticed when they had gone to Tea country and none of them noticed until they'd landed that the stone circle was there at all. "What on earth is this place?" Keeping her voice low, Ino looked around at the moss-covered stones, then jumped as lightning cracked directly overhead and the rain that had come at a slant into their faces shot straight down in a deluge as the wind abruptly died away.

"I dunno girls, but we should find shelter, and fast! There's a rocky cavern over there underneath those tree roots where we can take shelter, c'mon!" Hollered Choji, his plump form making his way quickly towards the cavern, followed by Ino. Sakura began to follow as well, then stopped as a strange noise caught her attention. "Sakura come on!" Holding out her hand for a signal to silence, the medical kunoichi frowned, squinting into the pouring rain and then her leaf green eyes widened and then shut as a blindingly bright flash of lightning shot down from the sky and struck the center stone in the middle of the standing circle. Sakura didn't see what happened next, but the reports that Choji and Ino gave only six days after the incident occurred are nothing less than amazing.

The stone in the center of the circle lit up in an array of white and green light that glittered throughout air that had gone still and silent, not even the rain making noise as it hit the sodden ground within the circle. Sakura's body had frozen into that stillness as well and the mystic lights that glittered in the air sank into the ground in the form of a pentagram, the inner parts of it holding indecipherable sygils that none of the young ninja could understand or recreate if they tried. The circl spun in a clockwise pattern for what seemed an eternity, stuck in that silence just after the lightning and just before the thunder. And then in a shrill screech of torn air and the rolling thunder of the skies above......

Sakura was gone.
