"SAKURA!" Naruto screamed, it had been two hours now since she had gone missing and he and kakashi had looked the whole time the only evidence of her being in the clearing was her leaf head band, But Naruto something was up two dead ninjas laid in the clearing they examined the bodies that's when they noticed that both had been killed by a sword. Sakura wasn't in that clearing alone and now whoever was with her has her, Painful memories flashed before him of losing Sasuke his best friend even though they both would denied it, the pain in there eyes and the pain Sakura went through countless nights crying, Naruto's eyes stung with unshed tears. He couldn't lose Sakura to.
Sakura lifted her heavy eyes, pain coursed through her head "Arggh" She cried, Finally she could open her groggy eyes "what The!" She yelled jumping up a Happy face that was two seconds ago two inches from her face grinned at her and stood up, she couldn't help but look at the razor sharp teeth and amazing white hair "SHE'S AWAKE!" He yelled "Who the hell are you" Sakura yelled back at him crossing her arms "Oh Sorry" He gave apologetic smile that reminded her way to much of Naruto "Suigetsu" He extended his hand Sakura shook it her mood lightening slightly "Sakura" She smiled "Hn" Is all she heard and her world came crashing down, it wasn't a dream it was Sasuke, after all this time searching here he was, She turned towards him still in a daze then anger that she kept hidden bubbled to the surface "DON'T BLOODY HN ME SASUKE UCHIHA!" She yelled striding over to him, his dark eyes glared daggers her way, but she stood her ground "After all this time, we have been searching for you, hoping you would come home. Do you know how much pain Naruto was in!" she pointed a finger at him "How much pain i was in" she whispered Sasuke's eyes softened a little "Whoa i have never seen anyone talk to you that way Sasuke" Suigetsu laughed showing off his razor teeth, Sasuke turned and sent the daggers his way this time "Hey little pinkies awake" A tall man walked in his orange hair spiked out in all directions his build was big he reminded her of the friendly giant "Hey Sakura i am Jugo" She put out his hand and she shook it, his big hand encased hers. Then realization hit her "Sasuke where am i?" She turned to him praying "At our camp" He answered and she began to worry "Why, is Naruto and kakashi ok?" She asked "i never saw them before we left" He answered in the same un emotional voice as always "TAKE ME BACK!" She yelled "No, we need medical ninja" He answered "No way, i am not a traitor" She answered coldly "To late Sakura" He turned an left, he eyes burned and she rushed out of the tent they were standing in which she hand noticed before, she walked out into a small camp a fire sat in the middle "We are far away so don't bother running you wont make it far by yourself" Sasuke called before walking into the forest and she knew deep down he was right frustrated and angry Sakura stormed over to a tree that sat next to a small river, he arms scrapped across the bark as she slid down the tree, that's when she reached up to her head, her heart cringed her head band was gone tears now tumbled from her eyes and she cursed herself for being weak, she stared out to the river so peaceful as the tears flowed down. She felt a presence behind her Jugo sat next to her and she struggled to hold her tears "We aren't that bad Sakura trust me" He tried to joke but Sakura still shook with tears Strangely within moments of knowing him she felt comforted by his presence his large arm came around her shoulder and pulled her in she leaned willingly burying her head into the mans shirt more tears came now. They sat like that until her eyes ran out of tears "Hey i will look out for you" He patted her shoulder and pulled her to her feet he went to leave and she put her hand on his arm "Thank you Jugo, i don't normally break down its just this is a lot to take in, its hard to explain" She looked down "I understand" He answered offering a soft smile as they walked back to the camp.
Naruto and Kakashi walked in silence to the village hidden in the mist, both tormented by there own thoughts. The rest of the mission went by in a daze both ninja trying to figure out what to do about there pink haired ninjas disappearance. After delivering the package they decided on returning to Konoha and reporting there mission. "Kakashi i really hope she is ok" Naruto finally said after hours of walking "She is strong Naruto, she can look after her self until we find her i am sure of it" Kakashi said with a familiar smile but deep down his inner self wasn't to sure.
Three hours later-
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MISSING!" Tsunade yelled at the silver haired ninja "Exactly that, she went missing during a fight now i suggest we send out more people to search for her" Kakashi was losing his patients with the women and Naruto was fighting beside him "Where about's were you?" Tsunade started pacing "Just over the border of the land of waves" Naruto answered and she noticed he wasn't his over energetic self "Hmm i see, search ninjas will be sent out first thing tomorrow i suggest you both see a medical ninja and rest up you will be leading the search" The women motioned for them to leave, Tsunade turned as kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke but she still felt Naruto's presence "Yes Naruto" She rubbed her face between her hands "Hokage, do you think maybe-" Tusande knew exactly what naruto was implying Sasuke Uchiha was sighted not far from the border "Yes naruto it is possible lets hope, because that is the best possible thing that could of happened" She answered and Naruto finally left the room "Please look after her Sasuke" She whispered into the wind.
"Sakura, would you like to come and collect water with me" Jugo stood at the entrance to the tent his head bowed a little due to his height "Sure Jugo-kun" Sakura had decided to add honor-fics to his name after their talk and he smiled at the name. The two walked down to the river the canteens slung over their backs Sakura placed the first one in the water and felt as it got heavier they continued in a comfortable silence "SASUKE-KUN" Sakura heard a women cooing Sasuke's name and it reminded her of her childhood "Argh Karin is back" Jugo groaned and they started back "Who is Karin" Sakura mumbled "Our medical ninja, but she isn't that good i guess that's why your here" He gave her a smile, they came back out into the small clearing to find a girl standing calling out Sasuke's name her red hair hung long and her glasses glistened in the sun "SASUK-" Karin was about to call out again until her eyes rested on Sakura "And who might you be" she glared daggers "i'am Sakura Huruno" She said proudly "And why are you here" she placed her hands on her hips "Because i want her to be here Karin!" Sasuke's voice boomed out and Karin's smile dropped "Oh but Sasuke-Kun" she walked over to where Sasuke now stood and tried to wrap herself around him but he moved out of her reach "Get the hint" Sakura mumbled and jugo laughed under his breath "WHAT WAS THAT!" Karin stood in front of them "She said Get a hint!" Jugo appeared in front of Sakura protecting her from Karin's reach "back off" Sakura heard someone call and Suigetsu appeared next to jugo Sakura felt a strange tug at her heart at the two men protecting her "Whatever" Karin growled and stormed off into the forest "Don't worry about her" Jugo turned to her and put his hand on her shoulder "Yeah she is a crazy fan girl" Suigetsu laughed "I am going to rest" Sasuke Announced and left for the had a feeling that wasn't the last of Karin's bitchy side she would be seeing.
