Ello Mon! I hope you've all been having a great week. I cannot express how sorry I am for being this late without over-reacting. But I'm so sorry. No, I seriously am, I'm tearing up a little while typing this. I've disappointed you all and I am so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sowwy. I had strep throat for the past week and a half or so and was so exhausted that just sitting up was a struggle, but I'm a little better now. Although my fever has gone down I'm still coughing like I'm hacking up a lung. Other than that my week was pretty uneventful , thank God. I'd rather have an uneventful week rather than a horrible one. Buuuut a few of my friends told me to check out a relevantly new anime called "Attack on Titan" and I have to say it was horrible...ly AWESOME! I mean it's gory and almost all the minor characters that I like end up dying in gruesome ways but once I got past that I realized that it was an amazing anime. The plot was genius, the music was awesome, and then animation was amazing. The only bad part is that the second season most likely won't come for another two years T-T. You know that empty feeling you feel inside once you finish a good series or show and have absolutely nothing to look forward to in life? Yeah, that's what I'm going through. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good tv show or anime? I'm all ears and open to anything; really, whether it be comedy, romantic comedy , science fiction, historical , horror, drama, fantasy, sports etc. I'm open to ! I take my "open to anything" back. I'm open to anything EXCEPT TRAGEDIES. Me no like crying. I am a very emotional person and I reaaaally hate losing characters that I'm attached to, it's a miracle that I still watched Game of Thrones(THAT sh and Attack on Titan. Anywhoooo , here's chapter 9. :) Oh and to make up for the lost time I'll post another chapter this week (most likely on the weekend).

Sakura

"...why are you ...how come..." Sakura tried to articulate the thoughts in her head into words. She could barely comprehend what she was seeing.

"Hmph. Whats wrong? You're trembling like you've seen something scary." Sakura turned her head toward the sarcastic voice coming from a little ways off. Oh God. There were more of them. Her eyes caught sight of a green lizard like thing with ice blue eyes and a bulky dark grey being with veins that made him look even more ghastly. It looked at her almost hungrily and said,

"Watcha doin here. little lady?" She felt repulsed beyond words.

She quickly looked away only to find herself staring at another monster. Sakura tried to suppress the bile that rose in her throat as she made eye contact with a serpent like monster. She wasn't even sure if it was looking at her, it did not have iris' or pupils. The creature pulled it's eyebrows together in what resembled an expression of sorrow.

"Please let us out," it pleaded.

"Akuhei stop," interrupted the lizard like man from the capsule across from hers.

"She's probably another one of Orochimaru's henchmen."At that Sakura broke out of her trance and forgot about her terror long enough to glare at Suichi.

"I'm not one of them. I am a Kunoichi of the Hidden Leaf Village. Don't group me in with them."

"Good. Then let us out," said Takeshi. Sakura turned to the orange skinned creature she'd first seen. She did not let the unease sink into her voice as she replied,

"Why should I do that?" Sasuke was not here, her remaining hope for that had been crushed the minute she flicked the light switch. Now these dangerous looking creatures that she'd just encountered were asking her for escape. She was not sure if releasing these dangerous looking creatures would be safe. Something flashed in Takeshi's dark eyes for a split second. Sakura was not sure if she'd seen it.

"Orochimaru and his goonie have kept us locked in here for years. They've been experimenting on us, injecting us with serums. We're virtually lab rats. They'll keep us here and continue doing sick things to us until we die."

" If you're really not one of them then you'd have realized how inhumane this is and released us," said Suichi. Sakura took a moment to briefly glance at all of them. They all stared back expectantly, tension in their eyes. They were probably normal people once. Yet Orochimaru managed to somehow capture them and do such sick things. Sakura felt like she may go crazy by just being locked in a room for days. But they'd been stuck here in this dark, eerie place for years, and in a capsule too. She looked at Suichi and said,

"Okay. What do I need to do?" She'd get them out of here then she'd escape herself and go back home Takeshi's thin lips stretched into a disturbing grin that revealed his sharp, jagged teeth. They all moved closer to Sakura as much as the could and started yelling ideas eagerly.

"Try breaking the glass!"

"Remove the giant tube at the top!"

"Break the pipes!"

"Stop!" Sakura couldn't think with so much noise.

"She does not look fit to be breaking anything, look at her hands," said Suichi. Sakura raised her hands up at took a look at her hands also. It was a bloody mess garnished with multiple cuts and splinters. She hadn't even noticed, but she was going to have to clean it soon before the cuts get infected.

"If I remember correctly then there should be a boiler room right next to this one on the right. All the pipes lead to there, go and turn off the-," BANG! The lab door's abrupt opening muffled Shuichi's words. Kabuto stood on the other, end out of breath. Huh?

"Sakura get away from them, now." Does he think that he can just order me around? Sakura's eyes hardened.

"No , you sick bastard, I'm letting them out." Kabuto pulled out a kunai and said menacingly,

"I can't let you do that." Sakura hated to admit it but she was in trouble. She was in no state to take Kabuto on, especially without chakra, Sakura hated the unyielding bracelet on her wrist. The metal always made her right arm feel a bit heavier than the left. Thats it! She couldn't take Kabuto on by herself but she'd stand a chance with some 's capsule was the closest one to her. If she slammed the bracelet into the glass hard enough then it would most likely break. Or at least crack enough fo Takeshi to get himself out and help.

"What are you doing?" Kabuto asked in suspicion as Sakura stared at the thin slip of metal. It was now or never. Sakura ran towards Takeshi's capsule. She got less than a second start ahead of him before he took off in her direction. But he would not reach her in time. Sakura swung out her arm and brought her wrist to crash down on the glass. Just before the metal of the bracelet could touch the glass the heard something. She stopped in mid-swing and turned her head to look at Kabuto.

"Wait, what did you just say? Say that again." Kabuto, who was only about ten feet away from her, repeated his words.

"You can see Sasuke again."
