Later that night at the Hokage's office the three Inuzuka family member's and their dogs were standing in front of Tsunade ready to give their report on the mission. "So what do you have to report?" Tsunade asked firmly.
"Lady Hokage we are sorry to report that our mission was a failure." Tsume said stepping up front and bowing. "We could not find Sakura anywhere."
"Explain yourselves!" Tsunade sitting up strait in her chair lacing her finger's together.
"We found the wreckage from the elevator, but their was no body, that alone tells us that Sakura is still alive Lady Tsunade.
Tsunade lost her composure as she turned her chair around facing the window and sunk back in it with her hand over her chest sighing with relieve. On the other side of the door Shizune was listening in on the conversation and she fell against the wall sinking onto the floor. Tsume continued on with her report. "Sakura was on the move and we followed her scent to one spot but then it vanished."
"What do you mean vanished?" Tsunade asked turning back around.
"Sakura's scent could only be followed to that exact same stop I mentioned earlier, then we picked up another scent but then disappeared."
"Then that mean's Sakura was carried off by someone else then." Tsunade said coming to a conclusion." I see job well done then, but you're finished yet, if we could gave you some of Sakura's belongings could you and your dogs expand your search outside the hidden leaf village?"
"Yes Ma'ma." all three Inuzuka's clan's members said at the same time.
The next morning Sakura woke up feeling a little disoriented. She first noticed the pacifier she had in her mouth and spat it out, but was left hanging thanks to clip that was attached to her sleeper. "What the heck was this thing doing in my mouth?" Sakura asked herself, but was shocked then taking a good look at what she was wearing from seeing her reflection in a mirror that was on the side of the crib. "W-what... THE HECK AM I WEARING?" Sakura yelled grabbing the bar's to the crib and started rattling them like she was trying to escape from prison. Sakura quickly lost her strength then fell back in the crib lying heavily out of breath.
"So I see your finally awoke Little-Missy?" Sakura heard a voice then looked over to find a living version of a stuffed bear standing next to the crib. Sakura's face went pale as she screamed at the top of her lungs causing the whole room to shake in the back round.
"Hey, Hey calm down Little-Missy I wont hurt you." Sakura was still screaming, the bear lowered the bar's to the crib trying to reach out to the scared girl but was bitten by her in retaliation. "Ow! Hey what was that for Little-Missy?" The bear asked rubbing the part where Sakura had bitten him.
"I must be going crazy! Why is a bear talking to me?" Sakura asked shaking in the back of the crib.
"Hey Little-Missy you've go to believe me, I'm no ordinary bear I really mean it." He then tried to reach out to Sakura again.
"If you say 'I'm smarter than the average bear' I'll bite you again." Sakura said in a threatening tone.
"No I'm a summon beast Little-Missy, the names Kuma."
"Your a summon beast? Wow you sure don't look any summon beast I've ever seen before." Sakura said jokingly.
"Yeah my old master said the same thing, and when I was no use to him anymore he destroyed my scroll breaking our contract." Kuma said sadly turning his head sadly.
Sakura's face softened she now regretted what she had said. "Oh no I'm sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings like that Kuma." Sakura said apologeticly, she crawled closer to the Kuma, but then Sakura saw he had a huge grin across his face. Kuma quickly turned around and grabbed Sakura pulling her out of the crib.
"Hey what do you think you're doing, put me down right now". Sakura putting up a struggle with the little energy she had left." You tricked me you stupid bear, I thought you were really hurt and you-"
Sakura was silenced when the pacifier was put back in her mouth and held in place by someone else hand." Wow, for someone with no energy to walk around on her own you sure can talk quite a bit." Another woman said who looked fairly younger then Kyou. Sakura stopped with the struggling and took a good look at the other woman, she was shorter then Kyou and had sea green hair went down the her shoulders, and she had wide brown eyes." Hey Kuma I'll take over from here why don't you go and see if Kyou or the other one needs any help ok." The woman taking Sakura from from Kuma and genitally holding her in her arm's cradle style.
"OK Lizzie, just be careful that little one is pretty feisty." Kuma said then leaving the room
Despite the pacifier not been held in her mouth any more, Sakura still kept in, as it was the only thing to calm her down at the moment. The Lizzie carried Sakura over to the changing table and sat her down unzipping her sleeper and reviling her heavily wet diaper. Sakura was shocked to find that she did not feel her diaper was wet, it shocked her even more that she had wet herself in her sleep. Lizzie saw the distraught look on Sakura's face and thought of some comforting words."Don't worry about it too much ok" Lizzie said as she untapped the wet diaper and slid it from under her. Lizzie then took some baby-wipes and started cleaning Sakura with them. "Kyou and I already figured out that you're no ordinary little girl, and that something must have happened to you to make you this weak right?" Sakura made no movements to say yes or no but Lizzie could tell she was right just by looking Sakura dead in her eyes. Lizzie then smiled. "Well we'll hear your story at breakfast ok." Lizzie said taking out a fresh diaper then sliding it under Sakura's bottom, after equal amounts of baby-lotion and baby-powder were applied Lizzie taped up the diaper.
After going through the ordeal of being the diapered by yet another stranger, Sakura was dressed in pair of overalls and was taken to to kitchen where smell of freshly cooked hot cakes emanated from. Sakura noticed Kyou over by the stove cooking and one more girl who already was sitting at the table woofing down the hot cakes that was in front of her at an incredible pace, the girl looked in her late teens with short hair red hair and orange eyes." Hey Mieu stop being rude and introduce yourself." Lizzie yelled.
Mieu stopped eating long enough for look at her."Mieu." She said her name and went back to scarfing down her food.?"
Lizzie let out a long sigh."You'll have to forgive her,when Mieu gets around food, it's like her mind is somewhere else." Lizzie sat Sakura down in a high chair and placed a bib around her neck.
"Wo Pwbrwom." Sakura tried to speak but realized she still had the Pacifier in her mouth then spat it out. "It's ok, you don't have to make any special changes just for me." Sakura said waving her hands in the air.
"Non sense, you're a guest in our house Little-Sakura, an as long as you are here we will make all the changes in the world so make you feel comfortable." Kyou said sitting down a plate of steaming hot, hot cake's in front of Sakura.
"By the way where am I any way"? Sakura asked
"Your in East Border Town." Lizzie said cutting up Sakura's food
"What East Boarder Town, but that's mean's I'm on the boarder line in between the Land Of Fire and the Land Of Water. How did I get all the way here from the Hidden Leaf Village?"
"Kuma brought you here." Kyou said. "You seen Kuma is a summon beast and he likes to go exploring a lot. When he did not come back home for three day's we all got worried and Mieu used her summoning jutsu to bring him back here and he had you in his arms, but we had no idea you were from the Hidden Leaf Village.''
"Yes I am, and i need t get back there and fast, my friend's must be really worried about me."
"Eat something first, you need to get your energy back, then well discuss a way on getting you home." Lizzie said.
"OK" Sakura said looking down at her food.
"Can you feed yourself or do you need help Little-Sakura?" Kyou asked in a motherly tone.
"Why dose she keep calling me that?" Sakura asked herself as she picked up the plastic fork and knife that was bought with her food."It's ok I can feel myself-" Sakura stopped when the fork slipped from her fingers and fell into the floor. Sakura's head sunk low until her forehead was lying on the tray of the high chair.
"It's ok Sakura just give it some time, I know you'll get better soon."Lizzie said trying to comfort her.
Mieu looked over at Sakura and got up from her seat and walked over to her. "How can you be so sad when you have such good food in front of you." Mieu asked in a blank tone. Before Sakura could answer Mieu shoved a fork full of hot cakes into her mouth. "Good?" Mieu asked smiling.
Sakura shook her head and it made Miue happy, it took a while for Sakura to swallow all the food that was shoved into her mouth, but when she did swallow it all she responded. "Wow these hot cake's are great Miss Kyou."
"I'm glad you like them Little-Sakura, now about your story." All three girls listened in waiting the hear the ordeal Sakura had to endure for the past three days.
Back at the hidden leaf village Shizune walked through the halls of the Hokage's building and entered a room with twin bed's next to each other. Inside the beds lied Ino and Hinata who had sleeping siense yesterday last night. "Ino, Hinata wake up." Shizune said shaking both girls until the awoke. Both girl sat up rubbing the sleep out of there eyes. "Come on girls get up I have great new." Shizune said excitedly.
"What can be so important that you'd have to wake us up so early in the morning Shizune?" Ino said grumpily.
Shizune began to grow inpatient as both girls took too much time waking up."Sakura's still alive, thats what!" Shizune yelled angrily.
Shizine's yelling and hearing Sakura was still alive made both girls alert "WHAT?" Ino and Hinata yelled at the same time then looked at each other and jumped out of bed.
"Are you serious Shizune?" Ino getting in Shizune's face.
"Where is Sakura at now? Is she hurt? Is she ok?" Hinata asked frantically.
Shizine's stepped back and cleared her throat and spoke in a firm voice." Listen up girls, first I want the both of the to keep calm for what I'm about to say." Ino and Hinata both gulped at the same time and shook their heads. Shizune then continued "The truth is that we still cannot locate Sakura, but right as we speak the Inuzuka Clan had their best searcher hound's looking for her, it's only a matter of time until Sakura is found and is back home with us."
Both Ino and Hinata held there hand together and jumped for joy apon hearing the great new's. Shizune then walked up the two girls and and placed a hand on both or their shoulders. "Why don't you two got freshen up a little bit and come back later, I'll give an update on the progress". This time Shizine said it in a more gentler voice.
"Sounds great." Ino said happily stretching.
"Ino you need to be studying, your exam is four short days away. Hinata said.
"Yeah I know but without Sakura here to instruct me I won't know if what I doing is right or wrong!"
"Then I'll help you study." Hinata said. "After all like I said, I used to take care of my little sister all the time so I should be able help you in some way.
"Thank you so much Hinata" Ino said hugging her" Let's go back to my place and take a bath first then we can get down to studying ok.
"Right." Hinata said eagerly.
Packs of dogs ran through the forest outside the hidden leaf village trying to get a lock on Sakura's scent, or the scent that carried her off. The Unizuka Clan's member's were not too far behind from their dogs as they were also searching using their strong noses to fine the scent.
"Come on pick up the slack all of you, no one resting until we find Sakura got it?" Tsume yelled. Tsunade had ordered the whole Inuzuka clan to a country wide search for Sakura. They were to inspect every city, town and village in the Land Of Fire until she was found.
"Lady Tsume." Two clan's members yelled as they appeared before her.
"What do you have to report." She asked.
"Two of our dog have picked up a scent similar to Sakura's"
"I see where is the scent coming from?" Tsume asked
"Mom it look's like the scent's coming from East Border Town" Kiba yelled from on Akamaru 's back.
"East Border Town, that way too close to the Hidden Mist Village, they might think were trying an ambush on their village if we try and send too many people their." Tsume said to her self. "Ok listen up all of you, Kiba, Hana and I will enter the boarder line, the rest of you will stay here on standby you got it!"
"Sir!" The other clan's members said loudly at the same time standing strait all the dogs gave off loud barks saying they under stood also.
"Let's go you two" Tsume ordered then riding off on there dog's backs, Hana and Kiba followed closely behind.
Back at Ino's house, Ino was quietly reading one of her text books when Hinata finally stepped out of the bathroom wearing a long bath robe that Ino had lent her. "Thank you for letting me take a bath here, it was really refreshing." Hinata using using a towel to dry her hair." So how's the studying coming along?"
Ino throw the book down in frustration. "Not too well, sure I can read to get the knowledge to take care of a child, but with out any hands on training it won't really matter." Ino said burring her face into her desk.
Hinata's face turned red. "I said I'd help you in any way Ino" Hinata said softly now shaking. "So maybe I can help this way." Hinata said as she slowly undid the bath robe. Ino had a surprised look on her face when Hinata fully took off the robe, she was wearing a pink spaghetti string shirt and a thick pure white diaper.
Ino stood up in her chair and walked over to Hinata. "Hinata what are you-?" Ino too shocked to finish her sentence.
