I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! KISHIMOTO DOES!

My new schedule is a strange one. During the day, I would be locked in this small room and try to sleep, and during the night I would attend vampire parties or just be ordered to follow Orochimaru around.

I can't tell how many days I've been here, but I do feel somewhat thankful that I haven't been killed or eaten yet.

Sakura's POV:

It's been a just over a week since I woke up from my near-death experience. 8 days, 13 hours and 161 minutes since Sasuke was taken.

Taken. Not killed or left, but taken. Everyone tells me that he left Konoha so seek revenge for me; well that's what the 5th Hokage has been telling everyone.

Only I know the truth. I heard Itachi tell him that he had an antidote. I know Sasuke went to retrieve it but after that I have no clue. He must have gotten it because I'm still alive.

I feel dead though. Without Sasuke what is left in my life? I still believe he's alive though, I know how naïve I am.

Naruto is hurt just as much as me, but he's a lot angrier than me. He demands that the Hokage send him out with the search teams that have been sent out to look for Sasuke. He goes out searching for him every day and night, I never see him anymore.

Kakashi is just never there. He always comes round to check on me and tell me about his success on missions and about Sasuke, but he is never actually there. His voice and looks are one of mourning. He hasn't smiled since it happened, none of us have really.

After my shifts at the hospital I always sit by the gates of town until I either fall asleep or Kakashi takes me home…

Sasuke POV:

Tonight is a special occasion for vampires, so I was told by Kabuto. I don't know the details but basically all the important vampires gather and show their 'honor' to the King or Queen. How they do this, again, I don't know.

However it is rather suspicious that I have to go too. Just like my first night in this hellhole, Kabuto walked beside me to the weird door. At least this time I wasn't handcuffed.

But this time, just before the door opened and we were let in, Kabuto whispered to me,

"Brace yourself."

And for the first time in my coming here, I was scared.
