Like a shadow, I'm slowly carried away by you-
Prologue- Flower, Shadow of death
She stalked her prey as quiet as the shadows on the walls, as stealth as the flowers on the wind, as cunning and nimble as a fox. Her lithe body going calmly and easily from shadow to shadow, only her goal on her mind as she scanned her surroundings with a wary eye. After what seemed like days she arrived upon her destination. The tall two inch thick steel door in front of her was the entry way to a world of abominations, a world where the living were the dead. Where the sun never shined and the moon never rose. The laboratory was created with the intentions to create a mass army based off of several specimens, living breathing life forms that were almost brain dead. It was sick and disgusting. But there was nothing that she could do, she knew. She had once been kidnapped by the very same people she was now going to steal from, for she was a mystery and they had wanted to know everything about her. And did they learn EVERYTHNG…
Getting into the laboratory however was not going to be easy; her chakra was so distinctive that if she used to even in the slightest before the end of the mission they would be on her within minutes. But since that was all she would ever really need she didn't even flinch as the sound of talking and the scrape of boots came to her ears before the handle on the door jiggled just enough to let her know that someone was coming and to attach her self to the ceiling above the opening door, just waiting for her chance. All she really had to do was get in and out without getting caught. The soft chuckling and the purring were slowly fading as the door opened to allow two people to exit the lab. The didn't even check their surroundings as they let the door swing closed on it's own, giving the ANBU above their heads to slip silently into the darkened room.
The sight of twenty full sized tubes all with living occupants , almost was enough to stop her cold. Such a horrible sight was it that she knew she would be dreaming about it for the months to come.
One tube in particular caught her attention however as she scanned the room for her objective, making her so speechless that the only words out of her frozen form as she stared in pity, sorrow, and guilt at the inhabitant of the tube. He was almost exactly like she remembered him. She shook her head at the fact that he still had unruly chicken butt hair, eyelashes so long they could be considered romantic if the eyes that were currently staring at her weren't so dead. The face mask on his face was all that allowed him to live as his body slowly shut down against the hands of time. His firm muscular chest moved up and down in a rhythmic manner. "…Sasuke…Uchiha…"
She shook her head violently as she heard someone outside the lab walk by. The one and only Reaper ANBU, Sakura Haruno quickly located the five scrolls of sealing that she had been sent to obtain and about twenty other scrolls and poisons and weapons and sealed them into the medium sized sealing scroll on her back as she made her decision and way to take her Ex-Teammate back to their home village where they both rightfully belonged.
"Black ANBU One is hungery."A voice in her ear sounded softly, letting her know that the guards were changing shifts again and it was time to go.
"Black ANBU Two will make onigiri and yakisoba for dinner…" she whispered softly back. It was the code for ok; I found something and need to find another way out. Go ahead without me.
Just what I was craving" another monotonous voice said as sakura finished removing the cables and tubes and wires from sasuke's body and removing him from the tank. She saw a window behind him and opened it almost instantly before settling her burden upon her shoulders comfortably and quickly checking her surroundings as she conducted a jutsu that allowed her to transport her and her packages safely a hundred meters from the meeting spot. A whisper on the wind let her know that her teammates were waiting for her already. Another jump with the jutsu and all sakura had to do was nod at her companions as they all shot off into the night intent on getting back to Konoha before the sun set the next evening breaking only once to rest before starting again. Regardless of her burden however, sakura never failed to keep up and continuously sent chakra into him to help him along in the healing process as sakura kept up with her group, often times out running them. She had promised Naruto that she would bring his best friend back if she could, so no matter what, she would.
