My ankles throbbed against the chains from my feeble attempts of escaping. They were bruised, swollen, and bleeding in some portions. I never planned on breaking the chains but I was hoping I could move the bed it was attached to, but it was firmly mounted to the floor. I sucked in my breath as I massaged the sore skin around the shackles. It was of no use, I was stuck her like a damsel in distress.
I frowned at the thought, I was as useless as ever… I shook my head to stop myself from crying and looked up to stare out the window. The day had started great, a normal escort mission with my team the only exception was Sasuke was missing. He stayed home from a training injury, he was working twice as hard ever since we made love a few weeks ago. He never let his body rest, it made me worry all the time.
Dragging my tired legs up to my chest I pressed my forhead to my knees and tried to forget where I was. I thought about Sasuke and how good he's been to me… I missed him and I just wish that I could have seen him more before today, if only he wasn't so obsessed with training…
Some noise came from below, I looked up and scanned the room before trying to pinpoint the noise below. Feeling someone coming close by, I stood and took a stance to defend myself and stared at the door. My stomach flipped in nervousness as my weak body struggled to hold my ground. I hadn't eaten in a few days and it affected me more than it should have. Damned my weakness pissed me off! Maybe I should take a hint from Sasuke….
The door creaked open, the sound made shivers run up my spine. I swallowed hard trying not to scream like the little girl I was. A figure smoothly stepped through the door way, it was Sasuke but I knew better. I squinted my eyes and sensed the chakra that surrounded him, I could tell it was a trick.
"Sakura…" he paused as soon as I narrowed my eyes, he knew he'd been caught. The fake Sasuke smiled evilly at me, "Very good Sakura…Very good" he said slyly and licked his lips. He backed away into the darkness of the entrance and moments later a plate of food was placed at the door before the old door was gently shut.
I eyed the food, knowing for sure it was probably had drugs oozing out of it. I sat down and looked back at the window. Doing all that I could to calm my grumbling stomach and think my way out of this place…

Naruto and Kakashi came by my place late at night, I was half asleep and had to use my cruches to make my way to the door. They looked more exausted than me and they were drenched from the rain. It didn't concern me, what did was that Naruto was nervous. "Where have you been?" I said narrowing my eyes as Naruto gulped behind Kakashi. I had already noticed Sakura not there and I was expecting them to tell me some bad news that involved Naruto's stupidity.
"Well we decided to take a little side trip in the town, Sorry it took us a few days" Kakashi's eye creased to show he was smiling as he rubbed the back of his head, Naruto seemed to mimic his actions… not a good sign.
"Hehe ya…um I'm going to go to bed it's kind of late. You two have fun!" he turned away and was gone in seconds, I haven't ever seen him mmove so fast.
My gaze turned back to Kakashi, I eyed him warily waiting for him to tell my where Sakura was. We stood there staring at each other, it seemed like he had something important to tell me but he didn't want to, he just stood there and let the tension build on and on… I was growing impatient.
"Where's my girl Kakashi" I said sternly looking at him waiting for him to lie to me, something happened and I knew it.
He waved me off, "She's helping out in a neighboring village. Nothing to worry about I promise she will be back by the time your leg is healed…about a week I suppose?" He seemed to be smiling again and I didn't sense anything in his voice that it was a lie, but it was Kakashi I could never really know. Either way I knew whatever happened to her she wasn't hurt, sensei wouldn't let harm come to her. He once threatened my life for hurting her, he would never let anything go horribly wrong…right?
