Six months later.............
----
Sasuke ran through the underbrush, dodging flying shuriken.
Under his arm, he had an old scroll, tied with red ribbon.
To his right, he could just barely see a pack of enemy ninja running to cut him off.
Quickly, he put on a burst of speed, trying to get ahead.
Then, he saw a lake off to the side and leaped in, hoping it would distract them.
As he sunk through the icy water, Sasuke brought up a teleportation charm, going through the hand signals, then vanishing the scroll in a cloud of bubbles.
As he swam to the surface, he filled his fist with chakra, exploding from the surface.
Straight into the midst of 50 enemy nins.
As he fought them, he knew that he couldn't win.
Then, one of them made a chop to the back of his neck, and he fell into to darkness.
Looks like Master Kakashi would be visiting another headstone...
-------
When Sasuke woke up, he first thought he was dead.
Then he realized that he was in a dark cell.
As he looked around, he saw that it was more like a jail than anything, through the metal bars he could see the other inhabitants.
On his left, a ugly sleeping man, and on his right, a girl.
Who the heck would keep a girl in their jail?
It was more common to ravish them, then turn them out into the cold.
Oh well.
Sasuke rubbed the back of his neck, feeling the bruise.
The girl on the right shifted from her sitting position, and Sasuke thought he noticed something familiar, but shook it off.
The door to his cell opened, and a tray of food was put down.
He walked over to it, seeing an apple, glass of water, and a sandwich.
He gulped down the sandwich and drank some water, saving it for later.
"Are you going to eat that?" The girl next him asked, obviously talking about his apple.
Wordlessly, he hadned it to her, and she scooted forward, her hair catching the crack of light coming through the stone wall.
Once upon a time, it could have been pink, but now...
Wait, pink?
There was only one person with pink hair around here.
He crawled over to where the girl was sitting, studying her face in the gloom.
"Sakura?"
The girl looked at him blankly, and his heart fell.
