'Sakura?' Naruto waved his hand in front of her face.
Sakura blinked a couple of times and turned to look at Naruto, 'Did you say something?'
He frowned, 'You've been staring into the fire for ages, what are you thinking about?'
She smiled and shook her head, 'Nothing much, I guess I miss my bed so we should hurry and finish this mission as soon as possible.'
Naruto grinned and scooted closer to Sakura, 'You mean ourbed?'
Sakura blushed and pushed him over, 'Don't get so close, we haven't moved in together yet.'
'Don't worry, Kakashi is sleeping.' Naruto whispered getting closer and cuddled up with her kissing forehead.
She smiled and leaned in closer to him, 'We still have to be on guard.'
They both sat on the log staring into the flames of the bonfire as Kakashi watched them pretending to sleep. They should be more alert than this if they really think I'm asleep, Kakashi thought sighing. Naruto turned over to look at Kakashi secretly and grinned cheekily making it clear to him that Naruto knew he had been awake the whole time. Of course—or Sakura would've shied away from Naruto's affectionate gestures... though they've been dating for a couple of years.
It had been years since Sakura had confessed her love for Naruto, at that time, she did it to lift the burden of the promise she made him keep. Of course he didn't believe her, it were too good to be true, he had loved her for a long time. He knew though that her heart had always belonged to Sasuke and he cared for them both dearly. It wasn't until Sasuke tried to kill her that Naruto grew more protective of Sakura never letting her out of his sight. True feelings for Naruto grew as Sakura spent more time with him and those for Sasuke became platonic.
Naruto watched her fall asleep lovingly pulling a stray hair away from her face and behind her ear. That all ended when there was a rustling in the darkness, Kakashi got up instantly followed by Naruto and Sakura waking up fully alert.
'Kakashi,' Naruto called quietly across the bonfire reaching for a kunai.
Kakashi turned around swiftly landing a kick into a forearm and jumped back beside Sakura.
Their eyes widened as they watched the figure step forward and out of the shadows, it was Sasuke. They haven't encountered him in over two years after he started to go blind in their last battle where Sakura almost lost her life. Naruto stepped in front of Sakura clenching his fists up and on guard frowning at his past teammate.
'Sakura.' Sasuke acknowledged but void of any emotion.
She moved further back behind Naruto still in shock and afraid reliving the bad memories, 'Sasuke.'
Naruto growled, 'What are you doing here, Sasuke?'
'Naruto, there's some unfinished business.' Sasuke reached for his katana.
'We don't want to fight you, leave now.'
Sasuke smirked at Naruto, 'I always knew you were a scaredy cat.'
'You're the one who left, I think you're the scaredy cat.' Naruto smirked back.
Kakashi placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder as a comforting gesture and she looked to him, 'I'm okay.'
'Konoha will crumble beneath my feet.' Sasuke stated as sparks of electricity flew from his hand and through his katana.
Sakura stepped forward from behind Naruto and he grabbed her wrist alarmed, 'Sakura!'
Sasuke frowned and swung his katana between them, 'Nothing you say can change my mind.'
The three of them jumped apart to avoid being sliced and Naruto leaped toward Sasuke throwing a shuriken. He dodged it and jumped up with a punch directly at Naruto's face but his fist was caught and Naruto kicked him sending him flying over into the tree. Recovering quickly, Sasuke got up and sped right towards Kakashi who was armed and ready but at the last minute, Sasuke vanished.
'Shit, where'd he go?' Kakashi stressed looking above, left and right.
'Naruto!' Sakura screamed.
'Sakura!' Naruto and Kakashi yelled.
Sasuke reappeared before them with Sakura in his grasp and his katana at her throat, 'Do you know what it's like to lose everything you've ever loved or cared about?'
'Don't do this, Sasuke!' Naruto yelled desperately in frustration.
'You will.' Sasuke said coldly, 'If you follow me, she dies.'
With that, he disappeared into the darkness leaving Naruto and Kakashi by themselves with a burnt out bonfire and the sun about to rise.
'Sakura!' Naruto yelled tearing up and punching the ground.
Kakashi grabbed his arm, 'Pull yourself together, Naruto, we need to fall back and inform Lady Tsunade!'
'You go back, I'm going after them.' Naruto tried to pull away from Kakashi.
'Didn't you hear what Sasuke said? You'll be endangering her at this point if you follow them now.' Kakashi reasoned, 'He won't kill her yet, there would have been a purpose for capturing her.'
Naruto yelled at Kakashi, 'Don't you remember what happened last time?! He didn't hesitate to kill her.'
Kakashi punched Naruto in the face surprising him, 'Sakura wouldn't want you to be acting so rashly.'
'Sakura...' Naruto shook his head, 'We have to head back now, Kakashi, this can't wait.'
When they went back to the village was meant to be when he and Sakura would be moving in together but now she's not here, Naruto couldn't stop thinking.

Sasuke blindfolded Sakura for the trip back to the hideout and only released her once she was in a white room. She had no sense of direction, she had never been here before and all that was before her was an injured Juugo and Suigetsu sitting there watching.
'Sasuke, you're back, will she help heal Juugo?' Suigetsu asked.
Sakura looked over at Sasuke whose face was unreadable, 'She will if she doesn't want to die.'
Sakura spoke shakily, 'You brought me here to help your comrade?'
'Speaking before I lose my patience with you.' Sasuke emphasised.
'If I help him, will you let me go?'
He pulled out his katana and pointed it at her making Suigetsu walk over to separate Sakura from Sasuke's blade, 'Hey, don't forget what you brought her here for!'
Sasuke pulled back and started to leave the room, 'By the time I get back, Juugo had better be awake.'
Sakura turned back to Juugo and started crying which alarmed Suigetsu, 'Hey, don't cry, alright? I'm sure he'll let you go after you fix up Juugo.'
She wiped her face and nodded wasting no time, it turned out that the poison curable with a few herbs she was able to get from Suigetsu. Juugo started to wake up after a few hours and Sakura's eyes brightened up surprising Suigetsu but he smiled nonetheless. Juugo sat up squinting and looked around at his surroundings trying to adjust to the light.
'Where am I?' Juugo asked groggily.
Suigetsu assured him, 'You're safe mate, Sakura saved you.'
'Sakura did?' Juugo asked just noticing her in the room.
Suigetsu chuckled, 'Yes, she did and she's awfully relieved that she was able to help an enemy too it seems.'
Sakura replied quietly, 'I'm a medical ninja, saving lives is what I live to do no matter who it is.'
'How nobel of you.'
Everyone turned around startled as Sasuke entered quietly walking straight towards Sakura making her take steps back. He grabbed onto her wrist firmly staring straight into her dilated pupils making her feel like she were drowning. Suigetsu panicked and waved his hands around as if to protest to the situation at hand.
'Sasuke, what are you doing? She just helped us.' Suigetsu said laughing anxiously.
'I know.' He said flatly keeping a firm grip on her wrist.
'Then now you can let me go.' Sakura said trying to be cheerful.
'You won't be leaving.'
'But I've done what you've asked—'
'And?'
Sakura's bottom lip started to tremble, 'What are you going to do to me?'
Sasuke stepped closer making her step back, 'What do you think I'm going to do to you?'
Sakura started crying and Juugo fully awake now protested, 'Sasuke, this isn't right, we shouldn't—'
'Nothing's right, Juugo, stay out of this, I should've buried you.' Sasuke said coldly.
Both Juugo and Suigetsu were startled by his words leaving him to drag Sakura out of the room crying for help. There was nothing they could do to save her from his hate for the village that killed his brother. He dragged her right into another room but this one was dark with only the lights of a couple of torches on the wall.
'Sasuke—' She sobbed being shoved onto the floor.
'You're to stay here from now on and only allowed to leave the premises with my permission and always supervised.'
'I want to go home.' She cried.
'I don't care what you want!' He yelled roughly picking her up by the wrist and dragging her to the bed.
'Naruto!' She screamed desperately.
He froze and his eyes turned red making Sakura's breath stop in her throat, his stare was dangerous. That was when he smiled ominously throwing her onto the bed and leaned over her leaving here with no room to escape. He ran a hand down her cheek softly listening to her breath quicken and smelled her hair.
'I know the perfect way to hurt Naruto.' Sasuke whispered into her ear taking in her floral scent.
She shook her head, 'No, please don't—'
'Sh...' He hushed as he kissed her neck.
'Don't do this!' She cried.
Juugo and Suigetsu sat by and listened guiltily as Sasuke had his way with Sakura as she cried until morning. They have never seen him so easily out of control like this which made them wonder what his real intentions with her were. One thing for sure was that nothing could save her from him now, he had her bounded.
Sakura lay there naked under the sheets and alone with nobody to comfort her, the tears started to fall. Stains of blood were left on bed, proof that her virtue had been lost—to a pitiless man. All she could think about was Naruto and what this would mean for them if she ever found her way back to the village.
