I'm sorry that I had to do that Sasuke.

Sakura continued to jump from tree to tree, going as fast as she could. She must get as far away from the village as she could so that Madara wouldn't be able to sense her charka. As she carried on leaping, she began to think of where to stay.

I can only reach the Mist Village in my day's pace. Then once I stay there for a day, I can head to the Sand Village.

She wasn't that worried that she would make it to the Mist in time; she was worried that Madara would get to her. Or worst, kill her. She shook her head, there's no why that she will let the long black haired Uchiha ruin the one thing she was living for. The thought of seeing Sai, Ino, Kakashi, and the rest of her ninja friends made her eyes sparkle with determination to get to the Sand as fast as possible. She thought of an idea; she made a hand sign and made two clones appear. She inserted some charka in each clone. Then the two clones went off in two different directions from her.

This will confuse Madara long enough for me to make it to the Mist Village, then he will give up on me.

Smiling, she continued to jump through the forest, heading to the Mist.

"What the hell…"

Madara sensed that there were three charkas going in different directions. So she thought she could get rid of him that easily. He closed his eye that wasn't covered by his bangs and awakened his Sharingan. He looked at the three charkas and noticed that two of them were shadow clones with Sakura's charka inserted in them.

"Nice try." He smiled as he continued to jump from the trees. He focused his attention on the center charka, which glow a balanced green color. He became aware that he was heading to the Mist.

"So the Mist huh?" He shrugged. He hasn't talked to Kisame that much. The last time they really talked was at a meeting that involved the Sand and the Leaf's war. Maybe he can use Kisame to find Sakura. His eyes soften for a moment. Why was he going so far for this girl? Sure she is a good ninja, but he can easily replace her. His Sharingan glowed bright red as it watched the ninja girl continue to jump. She has a spark that he hasn't seen in the time he's been alive, and that's along time. He shake his head, the only thing he knows was when he got to her she was going to pay big time.

"Welcome to the Mist Hotel, how many rooms will you need tonight?"

Sakura looked outside, it's pitch black. "Just one room please." She smiled.

The hotel manager handed the pink haired ninja a room key. Sakura placed down some cash and headed to her room.

I wonder if Madara has noticed that I went missing?

Sakura opened her hotel room and walked in. That was a dumb question to ask herself; of course he would have noticed that she was gone. He either didn't care or he's looking for her right now. She laid down on the small bed and began to plan ahead of time incase Madara happens to be looking for her.

I can leave the village and just head to the Sand, but I'm so tired and my legs are giving in.

She closed her eyes and prayed that Madara was being a bastard and was asleep at his desk at the ruins of the village she once loved.

"Madara, it's been awhile."

Madara smiled at the familiar blue skinned shark guy.

"Kisame, it's been to long." He forcefully smiled, sitting down by Kisame's desk that was once his.

"So how's the war between you and the Sand?" Kisame asked, leaning back in his chair.

"In some days, the tailed beasts will attack the Sand, making them swear their loyalty to me. But that isn't why I'm here."

Kisame sat up. Was Madara not impressed with his orders as Mizkage? Was he here to kill him and get his place back as leader of the Mist?

"A runaway Leaf village girl came into your village, I need you to look at all the hotels and motels to see if a Sakura Haruno is there."

The blue skinned guy frowned but was relieved. "The Haruno is causing you problems?" He only remembers her from the war, at the Leaf, she healed his broken arms. She's a good girl, but she has a back talking mouth on her.

"Yeah," Madara drank his tea that Kisame offered. "So, do you think you can do it?"

"Of course, I will send the word out to the owners of the motels that Haruno is a wanted runaway."

Kisame whispered the message into a young ninja boy and the kid left the room.

"So what is she to you?" Kisame asked, looking at Madara.

Madara continue to drink his tea. That was a good question, what is she to the immortal, powerful godlike Madara? He placed down his cup.

"She is a very good medical ninja, but you would know." He said with his boyish smile that annoys the living crap out of Kisame.

"That's right." Kisame leaned back in his chair again. "But she can be replaced by hundreds of nurses if you ordered it."

"I looked her up in my files," Madara stated. "She was an ANBU before I became Hokage. She was the previous Hokage's newest assistant. She isn't just some little healing pink haired child."

Kisame smirked. So the Uchiha cared of the girl. But if he said that, he would more than surly that we would be killed right then and there.

"Mizkage sama!" Said the same ninja that was in the room. "It seems she is staying in the Mist Motel. They are ready to follow your orders."

Kisame looked back over to Madara.

"What do you want to do?" He asked.

Madara ran his finger around the top of the tea cup.

"Tell them to leave her be, I will deal with it."

Kisame nod and dismissed the boy. Madara stood up and went to the door.

"Please don't destroy the place." Kisame kid around. "That happens to be my favorite motel."

Madara only boyish smiled and left the office.

Sakura pulled the covers over her head. There was construction outside and was annoying her. But with as much noise there was, she had no problem falling asleep. She can only dream of the look of her friends' faces when she came to the Sand Village. She can see Ino hugging her, Kakashi smiling, and Sai making some rude comment but smiling for he missed her as well. She smiled at her dream that will become real.

"W-welcome to t-the Mist Motel Hokage sama."

Madara smiled to himself, fear leads to respect and it seems that even the Mist Village fears him.

"If you don't mind," Madara smiled "I am looking for my friend, Sakura Haruno, do you know where she is staying tonight?"

"H-her room is down the hallway to your right." The Motel owner pointed to the hallway with a shaking finger.

Madara just smiled and walked down the hall and turned right. He turned the doorknob.

"Locked." He said to himself. He continued to turn the knob until he heard the lock broke. He pushed open the door and looked around the small, pitiful motel room until he saw her. He appeared by her bedside under half a second. Her soft, pink hair was across the pillows that seemed more like clouds. Her breathing was soft and steady. He couldn't believe how peaceful she was in her sleep. He could not help himself but traced his fingers through her hair that was well brushed. She grabbed his armed and pulled him on top of her. He was nervous, did he just wake her? But she continued to softly breathe, despite the fact that he was on top of her. He smiled; so she was as strong in her sleep as she was awake. He gently shook his head. He must teach this girl a lesson for running away like that. Then he smiled. Madara picked up her unconscious girl and carried her to a nearby dark purple couch. Madara yawned, he was quite tired as well, but he could just use his enormous charka to give him an energy boost. But he sat down and placed the sleeping Haruno on his side.

"I haven't slept in awhile, might as well start now."

He wrapped one of his arms around her waist and the other on his lap. Sakura's head softly laid on his head, which made him smile even bigger.

"I will think of a punishment tomorrow." He finally said before falling asleep.
