Sakura moaned in pain as she began to reach over to her side. She opened her eyes and groggily looked up to see a kunai lodge in her side. She grinned and dropped her head back on the ground, "You got me alright...Sasuke." She circled her fingers around the handle, winching a bit before pulling it roughly out her abdomen, "G-got me good."
She lifted and inspected to wound; it was deep and it was bleeding profusely. She placed her hand over it and began focusing her chakra into the wound, "I don't have that much chakra to heal it." She said to herself. She ripped the bottom of her shirt and began wrapping it around her, "Hopefully this will last until I get to the nearest village." Speaking of a village...where was she? She began looking around; she was in a desert. Which meant she was somewhere near the Sand Village. If she got quick enough, she could report to the Leaf about her encounter with Sasuke and heal.
She managed to stand up after all the struggling and trouble she had. She held her side and began walking; she had no idea were she was going, she just hoped that this way was the right way to Sand.
As what it seemed like hours past, she began to feel dizzy. She cursed to herself as she looked down at her wound that was bleeding through the cloth. She stopped and began looking around, she had been walking for hours and still couldn't find her way to the village. She noticed the trail of blood behind her, she hadn't realized that she had lost that amount of blood. The trail was far.
At the moment, she wished she wasn't a doctor because she knew from that amount she would die. She shook the thought from her head, she couldn't think about death now. As she began walking, she began tripping over her own feet and was a little wobbly in the knees. She stopped and slapped herself in the face when she felt her eyes become heavy. "Come on." She said encouraging herself. She took one step forward and before she knew it, she was face down in the sand.
The ringing in her ears increased and her vision was becoming blurry. She struggled to lift up but found herself back down. She looked back up and threw her blurred vision, she could see a masculine figure standing about 12 feet away from her. She blinked and rubbed her eyes to see clearly. It was indeed a man; he was tall, he wore some type of body suit that had the colors of red and white and platinum blonde hair. But what got her attention the most was his eyes, his pale blue eyes that showed so much hate and disgust...directed toward her...just as Sasuke's eyes had been. She couldn't help but feel a tear fall out her eyes. She reached her hand out toward him, "Please," She muttered weakly, "Please...don't look at me that way." She said before darkness took over.

Knives stared down at the unconscious girl. His eyes never leaving her motionless body. He had just happened to cross this girl when she collapsed. Strictly curious, he approached her. His hardened stare burning into her as she struggled to collect herself and grimaced with disgust as she reached out toward him and saying something he couldn't make out. He blinked and let out a small chuckle, "Humans, nothing but weak," He looked over her and saw the trail of blood that seemed like it stretched miles. He looked back down at her, "I guess you're stronger than I thought," He approached her, "I guess I'll show a little sympathy toward you." She picked her up and roughly threw her over his shoulder.
As he walked into the nearest town, he dropped her in front of a house and turned to leave. He heard the door to the house open, "Wait!" He heard the woman call out. He stopped, "Tend to her wound." He said before continuing walking. He never showed this much compassion for a human since his caretaker, Rem. But this was a once time thing and would never happen again, "Consider yourself lucky this time, Spider. But next time, if I see you, I will kill you."

Sakura slowly opened her eyes, instantly covering them with her arm from the light above her, "Where am I?" She asked. She looked over beside her to see a woman with short blonde hair; she looked about she was in her mid-thirties. She was asleep. Sakura lifted up and began to feel for her wound, she was shocked to see it was wrapped up. She looked back at the woman and began to think back before she passed out. She was sure that it was a man she saw; the person body was too built and she saw his face. "Excuse me, mam?" Sakura said, reaching over and tapping her softly on her shoulder. The woman instantly woke up, staring at her with big green eyes.
"Oh! You're finally awake, sweetheart. I was scared that you might of slipped into a coma from the amount of blood you los-"
"I'm sorry to interrupt you but...were you the one that saved me...from the desert I mean." She shook her head, her eyes went to the corner as if she was thinking.
"No, it was about two days ago. A man about this tall," She said raising her hand high for emphasis, "He had pale blonde hair and blue eyes. He's the one that brought you here. I tried to stop him but all he said was, "Tend to her wound,"" Sakura frowned, at least he could of stayed for her to have a chance to say thank you for saving her life.
"Oh, you said I was out for two days?" She nodded her head, "Crap, I'm going to get an earful from Lady Tsunade for not contacting her yet," She said to herself, "Can you inform the Kazekage that I'm here and need to report to Leaf immediately." She noticed the confused and clueless look on the woman's face. Sakura also stared confused at her; didn't she know who the Kazekage was?
"I'm sorry but I have no idea on what is that but you are currently in Inepril City...on Planet Gunsmoke." Sakura continued to look at her with the same look, trying her best to take in the shocking information. The only she could do is think back before she found herself in that desert...Madara!
"Jikūkan Idō!" She said aloud to herself, which scared and shocked the woman beside her. It had to be that technique, after Sasuke had stabbed her, Madara showed up and when she looked into his right eye...it was like as if she was being sucked into it. She had heard rumors about his right eye could make him teleport anywhere he pleases and people into some kind of inescapable dimension. Maybe after being stabbed by Sasuke, he decided to hold her captive...bait for Naruto but something must of went wrong with the jutsu. She knew if she didn't come back to the village for a mission that took two days; Naruto would be already on it.
She cursed to herself when she realized two days had already past. She just silently hoped that Naruto hadn't left to search for her yet. But for one thing, how could she get back? She thought Madara could but then again she wasn't in his dimension. Deep in thought, she didn't realize that the woman stood up, "Well, while you think. I think I'll head out for the store to get some food," Finally looking up, Sakura nodded her head, "I expect you to be very hungry after two days without eating." Sakura blushed with embarrassment as she heard her stomach sound out with a growl. The laughed before opening the door, "Take it easy or your wounds will open back up. I'll be back in five minutes, its just across from my house." She said before leaving.
As Sakura sat in silence, she looked down at the bandages and began to unwrap them. She had about enough chakra to heal herself. After she finished, she placed her hand gently over it and began focusing. She sighed in relief as the dull but irritating pain disappeared. After she finished, she threw the blanket off her body. She noticed her ripped, bloody clothes on the floor. She frowned, "Damn, what do I have to-" She paused when she saw a black dress hanging from the door on a hanger. She smiled. What a nice lady she is. She walked over to the dress and took it down.
She slipped it over her head; it just a three inches above her knees and was covering her chest just the way she liked it. She had to think the woman for her hospitality. She grew sad at the thought she would have to leave her very soon, probably as soon as tonight. Sakura began to laugh; she didn't even know name. She then heard the creak of the door, opening. She turned to see the woman standing there shocked, "What did I tell you? You-" She stopped when she noticed the bloody bandages on the floor. "You took them off! Oh dear-" Sakura put a finger to her lips to silence her before lifted up her dress to reveal the nearly invisible wound. "But how..."
Sakura smiled, "I heal more easily than others. Oh and I hope you don't mind me having this dress." She said straightening the dress back down. The woman looked at her clearly shocked before shaking her head.
"Umm...no, I don't mind. Food will be ready soon, so you can come out here if you want."
"Thank you, but I have yet to know your name. You can call me Sakura."
"Alicia." The woman said as she walked into the kitchen to continue fixing the food. Sakura sat down in front down at the small square table. "So, do you mind asking you where you came from?" Alicia said. Sakura laughed a bit.
"I'm afraid if I tell you you wouldn't understand how I got here." Alicia also laughed.
"I think you're right. I'm already going through a brain buster on how that life-threatening wound healed so easily after just two days but I think I should leave it as it is and not asked any questions about it, right?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders. She really didn't want to explain how she healed herself because then she'll have to explain chakra, which she always found bothersome telling.
After the food was finished, Alicia brought two plates to the table. Sakura didn't really care what she was eating because she was really hungry. As they ot ate in silence, "I might have to leave tonight." Sakura said abruptly. Alicia looked up at her shocked.
"But you just got here."
"I know but...I have to try to find a way to get back home. I've got a mother and father and friends that might be very worried about me right now. I hope you understand." She said. Alicia nodded her head and smiled.'
You know, if you can't find a way back, you are more than welcome to stay with me."
"Thank you."
XxXxX
"Thank you so much for your hospitality, Alicia," She said bowing deeply. She lifted back up to see the sad expression on her face, "I will come back if I can't find a way but if I don't...you can already guess." She nodded her head.
"I understand, its just that you became like a daughter to me over the couple of days you've been here. Be careful."
"I will."
