Later that night when Sakura finally fell asleep from the hours of crying before, her mind didn't let up on her. Her nightmares witch were the least of her problems would not release her from their grip. She tossed and turned in her sleep trying to shake them off. But eventually she gave up and was consumed with the pain and fear. Her eyes split open to take in the moon-light that was spread across her face. She ached all over. Mentally and physically. She didn't know how much longer she would be able to hold herself together much longer. Even before all this crap, her lack of sleep was ripping her apart. Would she actually be able to keep herself sane while being here? She slowly sat up with her hair falling onto her face &swung her legs to the side so they hung off the side of the bed. She rested her head back against the cold concrete walls and shut her eyes tight. Her thoughts of why she shouldn't be her own self destruction failed. Thats all she wanted to do. Was to give in. She let out a small cry mixed with a sigh and proceeded to open her eyes. In the chair across from her bed were a pair of clear eyes. It scared her at first. She didn't notice it before. But the face now looked familiar. It was the boy she spent hours healing on. She was surprised he was able to even get up and move at this point. Was even pretty positive he might even die. The silence between them irritated her.

"..Is there something you need?" Her voice was dead. His stare on her didn't change. Still emotionless and blank. She cleared her throat preparing herself for an answer, that might even never come.

"Your the one healing me?" his voice was weak. She managed a small nod. He nodded back and stood up. He wore black slightly fitted pants, and a black tee.

"It's not of my character to thank people, but thank you. " He stepped closer to the bed. Sakura pressed her back closer to the wall, not wanting to even be near him. A small weak smirk appeared on his face feeling good that people still feared him. His smirk slowly fell and went back to a blank canvas of no emotions.

"But I understand you laid hands on a member here, although I was there for the scuffle and I don't know what caused it you need to know that is not acceptable. And there is a punishment for that." His stare turned cold, and sent shivers up Sakura's back. 'Am I going to die?' She questioned. Within a split second he was in front of her his hand back then went flying in front of her. Her hair fell on to her face covering half of it, the impact of his hand made her head turn slightly. She didn't feel it first, didn't even recognize the pain. But then she felt her cheek throbbing and felt it starting to bruise. It took her a couple of seconds to straighten out her head, she kept her eyes down not daring to share a gaze with him.

"Now understand as grateful as i am that you are here on my own purposes, you will respect me and the others around here. This isn't your home it's mine. No matter how sick I am. Do you understand that?" His eyes were still on her. She weakly nodded then grew the courage to look up at him.

"…I have a question for you though." Her voice barely made a whisper.

"What is it?"

"..W-what…do you plan on doing with me after…I fully heal you?…" Her voice dry and exhausted. He opened his mouth to reply but then closed, his stare on her dropped for a brief moment. The answer was obvious, she would be disposed of. She was nothing more then a tool. She knew it and so did he.

"I'm sorry for waking you." He turned and went out the door. Sakura heard it lock and she collapsed on the bed in a field position. She bit down on her bottom lip. Those childhood fears rushed back to her. Everything that once scared her seem like nothing now. She use to go day by day not knowing her future but it was so clear at this point that it scared her. This was one fear that couldn't be avoided.

"I'm going to die in here" She whispered to herself.

Naruto spent the last day gathering people together witch could be consider a suicide mission. To find the Akatsuki hide out and problem take on every single one of them to get back his best friend. If she was even still alive. He sighed waiting at the gate. It was 6am. He was early cause he wanted to get going already. He couldn't sleep as it was. All he could dream about was Sakura. Not in a sexual way but as a friend. He was highly conceded of her safety and he didn't know what to do if she was actually gone. He teared up and wiped his eyes on the back of his sleeve. Just the thought of Sakura not being around anymore brought tears to his eyes. He turned his head to where the sun was setting and stood there to take int he warmth he desperately needed at the moment. The bright rays expanded over the horizon of the trees, and all over Konoha. Storm clouds quickly rolled in behind the sun and soon consumed it's light with darkness. At that point Naruto felt nothing.

"hn." A voice came from behind him. He spun around prepared to fight only to see Sasuke in front of him. His disappointment only grew.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto snarled.

"Coming with you to save Sakura"

"Why? You could give two fucks less about Sakura-chan. She loved you so much and I wish you had seen it. Could of been on the outside of that and witnessed it. It was innocent from her point of view. Her love for you Sasuke was innocent. She didn't want anymore more from you but your happiness. And you constantly shut her away! She took your insults with a smile! but that didn't stop you, no you left us the cowardly way! You couldn't be a real man and stay here to deal with your problems you had to fucking run away!" Naruto took a step forward and grabbed Sasuke by the collar of his shirt. He stood there speechless as Naruto continued.

"You fucking pussy! You left our team! Did you think everyone would of just swept the memories of you under a carpet? Did training with that Useless fuck help you? Did it make you so strong? Cause i'm sure I could kill you right fucking now!" At this point Naruto's anger got the best of him. He was mad about many things, mad at Sasuke, mad that Sakura was taken away, And mad that we wanted the team to be whole again. Sasuke shoved Naruto away. He didn't let Naruto outburst get the best of him. Cause with all honestly he already felt guilty for what he did.

"I know Naruto." He blankly said. Naruto looked up at him with anger and confusion in his eyes.

"I know what I did was wrong. But did you know how frustrating it was knowing that you were always 2 steps ahead of me. Yeah I know I was the smarter one, but you were always the stronger one. You were getting the most secretive training from different people….While I was limited. So yeah I left to become strong so I could be a worthy teammate. I didn't crave power. I craved being good enough. And as for Sakura? I fucking loved that girl to pieces. But I knew….I knew if I wasn't strong enough to beat you how could I ever be a good enough man for her? Knowing that she's in the hands of my brother right now kills me…." Sasuke trailed off. Not wanting to finish. Naruto stared at him with angry eyes. He didn't trust him but after hearing that he couldn't help but question if he was lying or telling the truth. After a moments of consideration.

"Sasuke I-"

"Naruto your early! Who are you with?" Naruto turned around to see the gout he gathered together. Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji,Tenten,Lee,Kiba,Hinata, Shino and even the sand siblings. Naruto turned and still Sasuke standing there.

"I'm here with my teammate" Naruto said. And a slight smile appeared on Sasuke's face.
