The night was young, the sun just beginning to set underneath the two figures camouflaging themselves in the below moonlight. However, in one of the figure's point of view, the orange-yellow sunset was not orange-yellow at all, but a displeasing, unpleasant shade of pitch black. The owls and bats in the far sky were active, most of Konoha's citizens snoring inside the sanctuary of their homes. Tonight was beautiful, tonight was radiant. Notwithstanding, one of the mentioned figures lay inside the other's covered arms in pure misery and defeat.

The two figures' names were Uchiha Itachi and Haruno Sakura. Sakura currently lay in a strange, reserved position in the Uchiha's arms, which were sheltered by his long, warm, black-and-red cloak. Despite the kunoichi being at unease, the Uchiha carried her rather nonchalantly. Struggling desperately to break free from the Uchiha's tight embrace on her, the Haruno couldn't help but repeatedly ask him, "Where are you taking me?" And each time she questioned, the Uchiha would simply mention that where he took her was incredibly confidential, leading Haruno Sakura to inquire nervously what was going to befall if the location was this secret.

Itachi's calm, casual steps put the Haruno in an emotion of fear and dread at what would happen to her. She should not have stayed outside at such a critical, dangerous hour of the starlit night, where anyone outside can track you down and kidnap you.

It all started when Sakura was sitting alone that night, gazing intently at the shining, Kami-born stars. Her parents were sound sleeping, the night was young...yet hazardous to be outdoors in. Because, during the night, stalkers lurk. Sitting on her porch step, the consequences of staying out this late escaped her mind. The stars were just so beautiful...they seemed to have taken all of the troubles she had been previously engaged in...away, and out of her life.

Never did she imagine that a figure with a sleek black cloak on would snatch her, most likely for self-pleasure or personal benefit. She didn't sense the figure sneak up behind her, as he was too swift and agile for her senses to spot. Feeling two hands grasp both ends of her small waist, Sakura shrieked in surprise, shock, and afraidness. Her body, which was currently in a vulnerable state, was easily grasped by the figure and swept off of her feet into the figure's covered arms, the girl's kidnapper walking at a brisk pace to...Sakura didn't know. And when Sakura's parents came out to see what was going on, they were greeted with nothing...nothing but the air blowing on their panicking faces.

And now, as she contemplates how she got herself into this predicament, she highly regrets staying up this late at night, gazing pointlessly at the glittering, laughing stars.

She longed to return home to her family, but after her failed attempts to break loose of the Uchiha's grip, she knew such a thought was not possible. Her family was probably worrying insanely about the maniacal things that could possibly be done to their child.

Tomorrow, the whole of Konoha will awake only to realize that Haruno Sakura was gone. She'd be classified as a missing-nin because of her sudden, unsuspected, and unplanned disappearance.

Nonetheless, Sakura was most worried about what could possibly happen to her. Because this quiet, untalkative man was currently carrying her to a location only he was aware of.
