A/N Sorry this took sooooooo long to get out. I got really busy and my computer went kaputt. So here is the second chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Inner Sakura

Chapter 2

On Way to Sound

"Come on, Sakura. Hurry up," Kabuto briskly told Sakura.

"I'm coming! How much farther is it?!" Sakura asked annoyed. Sakura was getting tired and she was also very hungry.

"You want to stop?"

"YES!!" Sakura cried in relief. They both stopped and rested. After 5 minutes of resting and not talking, Kabuto looked up.

"Do you want a bite to eat?" Kabuto asked while reaching into his bag.

"Yes," Sakura quietly said. Kabuto passed her a packet of a kind of trail mix. Sakura quietly nibbled on it.

After a few minutes, Kabuto stood up. "Let's get moving again. We are getting close."

"Now you tell me that," Sakura muttered.

Sakura and Kabuto were moving out at a good pace until Kabuto suddenly stopped. He pointed to a clearing.

"That is where the entrance to Sound is." Sakura looked and got her first look at the entrance to Sound.

"So that is it?" Sakura said sarcastically.

"Yes."

"It isn't much."

"It is bigger inside," Kabuto replied irritably.

Sakura followed Kabuto to the entrance.

'I am now in Sound,' Sakura thought.

"Kinda dull!"

'Yeah.'

"Follow me. I will take you to Orochimaru and then get you situated in a room," Kabuto told her. Sakura just followed him thinking, 'I hope I see Sasuke.'

Back in Konoha

"Shizune! Where is Sakura?!" Tsunade yelled. Shizune came into the office.

"No one knows where she is or has seen her recently, Lady Tsunade."

"What do you mean nobody knows where she is! Has anyone checked her apartment?!" Tsunade roared.

"Not yet, Lady Tsunade. Would you like me to send someone to check?"

"Of course I do!"

Tsunade was livid. Sakura had never been late before or disappeared like this. What had changed now? Inside Tsunade was worried about Sakura.

Back in Sound

"Now that didn't go too bad, did it?" Kabuto asked Sakura.

Sakura gave a noncommittal shrug.

"Here is your room while you are here. Dinner will be in the kitchen at 7 every evening. Breakfast will be at 7 and lunch will be at 12:30. You can practice in the practice room or go to the library. Other than that, stay in your room. Do you understand?"

Sakura nodded.

Kabuto walked out and closed the door. Sakura went over to her bed and plopped down on it. She thought about what Orochimaru had told her.

'He told me to help Kabuto fix his arms. The only reason I came here was to see Sasuke,' Sakura was thinking, 'I still haven't even seen him yet.'

Sakura sighed. Sakura then decided to go to the library.

Sakura got off her bed and walked into the hallway. She walked around the corner into a new hallway. Sakura walked and walked.

'I think I am lost,' Sakura thought.

"Of course we're lost! That infernal idiot Kabuto – teme didn't tell us where to go!"

Sakura sighed. She then heard movement and a chuckle.

"I never thought I would see you here," a familiar voice told her.

Sakura was stunned silent.

"Nothing to say?" The voice chuckled.

"Sasuke – kun," Sakura whispered.

"I thought you had forgotten who I was," Sasuke said.

Sasuke stepped forward so that Sakura could see him.

A/N Well, hopefully I will be able to get out the next chapter pretty soon. I will try to have it out ASAP.
