'Sasuke, where are you going?' Juugo asked as Sasuke was about to leave the lair.

'I'm going to get food, make sure Sakura doesn't get out.' He said without turning back.

Suigetsu rubbed his chin feeling conflicted with the situation as he watched Sasuke leave and turned to Juugo. He seemed clueless though so Suigetsu walked off in the opposite direction making Juugo go after him even more confused.

'What's bothering you?' Juugo asked.

'He doesn't keep prisoners at this hideout and she's not locked in a dungeon, she's locked in a room, Juugo.' Suigetsu pointed out, 'He cares a lot more for her than he's making out.'

'Our job is only to do as he asks.'

Suigetsu scratched his head in frustration, 'Do you not have your own mind at all? She'll be a complete distraction and I'm not sure Madara will appreciate it.'

Juugo frowned, 'She saved my life, I'm in debt to her too.'

'Well Jesus, maybe I should rescue you so you'll listen to me too.' Suigetsu said sarcastically.

'LET ME OUT.'

Suigetsu and Juugo jumped at the loud demand coming from the room Sakura was locked in. They both looked at each other and headed to her room speaking to her from the other side of the door.

'Hey, could you quiet down in there?' Suigetsu called out.

'NO, not until you let me out!'

'That's not our call to make, sorry, sweet cheeks!' Suigetsu called back.

'YOU LYING PRICK, YOU SAID YOU'D LET ME GO AFTER I HEALED JUUGO.'

'Well I thought Sasuke would let you go, my mistake.' Suigetsu laughed awkwardly.

They both shut their ears as Sakura screamed and made earthquakes as she tried to beat down the door. They looked at each other nervously not feeling quite as sorry for her at this stage.

.

Naruto sat on his roof staring into the sky thinking about Sakura and feeling extremely restless. This isn't right, I should be out there trying to find her, he thought to himself getting more aggravated. He didn't want to go into his house, all he could smell around his house was her scent.

'Hey, Naruto!'

He got up and looked over the roof to find Hinata, Kiba and Shino waving, 'Hey guys, what are you doing here?'

'We came to invite you to get some ramen.' Kiba said excitedly.

He moved away from the roof's edge and lay back down, 'Thanks guys but I'm not hungry.'

Team Eight jumped up onto the roof and Hinata spoke softly, 'You should still take care of yourself or you won't be able to rescue Sakura or Sasuke.'

Naruto sat up and sighed sadly, 'You're right, sorry everyone—it's just that we're never apart and I don't know what to do without her.'

'That's called love.' Shino said shortly.

Hinata smiled sadly, 'So let's get some food into you.'

'Yeah.' Naruto nodded feeling more determined.

.

Sasuke got back to the hideout and was greeted by his teammates, 'Was there any trouble while I was gone?'

Suigetsu replied, 'Man, Sasuke, are you sure you want to keep that girl around? It sounded like there was an apocalypse in that room when she was trying to escape.'

'It'll be fine.'

Suigetsu choked on his own saliva, 'That's all you have to say? Why are you keeping her here anyway? She's done what you've brought her here to do.'

'She's still useful and you can be useful to by going to cook this food without asking irrelevant questions.' Sasuke said getting impatient.

Juugo took the food off Sasuke except the fruit he was carrying in his other hand, 'Suigetsu, let's go, we're all hungry.'

Suigetsu ignored him and yelled at Sasuke who was already walking away, 'Sasuke, you bastard, we're supposed to be a team, not your henchmen—listen to us!'

Sasuke released the seal on Sakura's room and walked in to find her passed out on the floor in front of the door. He squat down to pick her up and she mumbled as she stirred in his arms softly. He placed her on the bed and watched her face, she looked peaceful and her breathing steady.

As Sasuke reached with his hand to touch her face, she mumbled, 'Naruto...'

He froze and pulled his hand away from her face grabbing her arm roughly instead dropping the fruit on the bedside table. Sakura woke up startled looking around the room hoping everything had been a bad dream but started tearing up again. She looked into Sasuke's cold eyes when he shook her arm roughly as to get her attention.

'Sasuke...' She acknowledged and grabbed his other arm desperately, 'Are you letting me go?'

He shrugged her hand off him and grabbed her other arm too, 'The more you suffer, the more Naruto does, I'm going to make your life a living hell.'

She shook in helplessness, 'Why are you doing this? None of us are your enemy, we want to help you, Sasuke—'

'Anyone from Konoha is my enemy, your pleading is useless!' He shouted at her, 'He loves you, doesn't he?'

Sakura shook her head, 'Sasuke, come back to the village with me and we can talk to them.'

'I'm done with talking...' Sasuke said quietly pushing her down.

She squealed and tried to get out from under him, no, not again, she thought resisting him. He kissed her mouth hard ignoring the tears that were now rolling down her face and pulled her hair back exposing her neck.

He sucked on her neck and shoulder smirking, 'I wonder he'd still want you if he knew what a whore you were.'

Her sobs turned into a cry as she tried to push him off with her free hand but Sasuke caught her wrist and spun her around onto her stomach. She tried to lift her head up to protest and he choked her holding her hands behind her back as she called for Naruto like he were going to appear.

'STOP CALLING OUT TO HIM.' Sasuke yelled, 'You're mine, I will take away everything from Naruto!'

Sakura froze at his words, without a doubt, Sasuke has lost his mind she thought and panicked. He was breathing hard and uncalculatedly looked over to the bedside table remembering why he had come to her room in the first place.

'Eat the fruit there—do as I say or you'll be sorry.' Sasuke said letting her go slowly.

Sakura got up quickly and backed up to the wall sitting on the bed shaking with tears saturating her. She was clenching onto her chest with both hands with an iron grip subconsciously as if to protect herself. Sasuke reached over to grab the fruit and peeled it and held it at Sakura's mouth.

'Eat—' Sasuke said squeezing Sakura's face making her open her mouth and shoved it in.

Sakura choked before chewing and swallowing, she knew better than to try anything at this point, 'Why does it matter if I eat? Don't you want me to kill me?'

Sasuke frowned, 'I won't let you die that easily, you have to suffer.'

'I am suffering—' Sakura wiped her face, 'When you left, you took my world away.'

He shook from a mass of emotions he put away long ago and spoke in a cold tone, 'You eventually created a new one though, didn't you—? With him.'

'You tried to kill me, Naruto protected me—from everything.' She argued.

'You tried to kill me first,' He said darkly, 'Don't you forget it.'

'B-because I didn't want to see you suffering anymore—I'm sorry.' She cried grabbing his hand with both of hers.

He pulled his hand away, 'Whatever you're trying, it's not going to work.'

Sakura continued, 'Back then, if I could've taken all your pain onto myself to comfort you, I would have.'

Sasuke started shaking and grabbed her shoulders, 'Why can't you just shut up?'

'I'm sorry—'

'I don't want to hear your apologies!' He shook her, 'You're only sorry now because—'

Sakura fainted and fell into his arms catching Sasuke off guard, his eyes widened in panic. He lay her down and tapped cheek in a gesture trying to get her to wake up.

'Sakura—!' Sasuke, 'Juugo, Suigetsu—!' Sasuke called out.

They both rushed in startled at Sasuke's panic, he wasn't one to lose his cool that easily. Juugo assessed the situation, seeing fruit on the bedside table and Sasuke holding tightly onto Sakura looking—concerned?

'Juugo, go and get a bowl of warm water and towel.' Sasuke ordered hastily, 'Suigetsu, go out and find some clothes for her.'

Suigetsu looked confused, 'Wha—?'

'GO.' Sasuke yelled impatiently making them scatter.

When they left the room, Sasuke looked down to Sakura who he had picked up in his arms and is lying unconscious in his lap. He stroked her face and brushed the loose strands of hair behind her ear—her hair had grown out, he noticed.

'Ahem!'

Sasuke looked up realising Juugo was back but for how long, he wasn't sure, 'What are you doing? Put it down on the bedside table.'

Juugo obeyed, 'Would you like me to take care of her?'

'No.' Sasuke replied before Juugo could say anything, 'Leave, I'll take care of it from here and let me know when Suigetsu gets back with the clothes.'

He just nodded and left the room obediently leaving Sasuke alone with Sakura aware there was something more going on. Something in Sasuke was changing, he's not the same as he was before—for good or for bad, Juugo wasn't sure.

.

It was dark and Naruto had snuck out in the late night determined to go and find Sakura. Just when he thought that he was undetected, he was stopped by a voice that was too familiar.

'Naruto, don't do this.' Kakashi said standing before him.

Naruto stood his ground, 'I'm tired of waiting, Kakashi, I'm going to bring them both home.'

'This isn't the way, you're being impulsive!'

'I don't see anyone else doing anything about it! All that Sakura has done for us—and we're going to leave her? Sasuke isn't in his right mind, we don't know what he'll do to her.'

'You don't even know where they are!'

'And I won't find answers by just sitting around here!'

Kakashi sighed and rubbed his forehead, 'Damn it, Naruto, you know I can't ignore this.'

Naruto smirked, 'I guess you'll just have to follow me.'

'What have I gotten myself into?' Kakashi laughs awkwardly.
