Sakura woke, or at least she thought she woke. She could never tell. She would open her eyes but was only greeted by darkness, and she would have to depend on sounds and smells to tell what time of day it was. She knew where she was, the healers hut, but why was she here? Had she been captured again? She moved her arms and legs around, she wasn't bound. She could smell Naruto next to her and she turned to face him, his breathing was heavy and she suppressed a smile as he began to snore.

Rain…wood… and trees… that was what she smelled when she turned to her left. But it wasn't outside that she smelled. She knew exactly what it was…

"Sasuke" she mumbled, letting the words slip out of her mouth. He was further away from her than Naruto was but she could hear him breathing. It was leveled and slightly tense; he wasn't asleep… which meant he had heard her. But at the moment she couldn't care less… those men had found her again… and for some reason she was back at the healers' house…

"How did I-"

"You're safe here Sakura… the healers were imposters…"

"Doppelgangers…" she mumbled so quietly that Sasuke wondered is she had even meant for him to hear them. Naruto began to shuffle around, he was waking up.

"who dropped the gang now?" he mumbled from his pillow. Sleep talking was a common occurrence for Naruto and Sakura had become accustomed to it over the years. She placed a hand on his shoulder "Naruto wake up…" she whispered, the tiniest hint of a smile gracing her lips. This was hidden from Sasuke's view but from behind her he could see her cheek bones rising. He glanced at Naruto's sleeping form with irritation.

"no…" he mumbled rolling over "No more spoons…"

"Naruto" she said a little more loudly this time, her smile widening a bit "wake up" she nudged him. Sasuke drummed his fingers on the floor, this morning ceremony was new to him and seemed in all effects completely worthless. Naruto rolled over again this time swatting Sakura's hand away "Get me some milk from the house please…" he murmured. Sakura smiled "Naru-"

Sasuke stood quickly and kicked Naruto onto his back without doing any actual damage. "Wake up dobe" Naruto's eyes shot open and Sakura's smile dissipated almost as quickly as Sasuke had moved "WOAH!" Naruto sat up, his eyes wide as he craned his neck around the room and landed on Sakura "Oh hey Sakura! Good morning!" Sakura nodded.

"did you sleep well?" he asked dusting off his shirt.

She shook her head "not really… almost being raped doesn't exactly leave pleasant memories" It was so bluntly said that even Sasuke was slightly taken aback by it. Naruto blinked, taking a moment to process what she had said. His face darkening "I should have protected you Sakura… I should hav-"

"that's water under the bridge now Naruto" she said plainly "now tell me… why are we still in this swamp?"

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"symptoms" the old woman repeated the word that Sakura had just placed before her "they said you wouldn't have any?" her eyes were wide and she glared at the group for a brief moment. Most of them looked guilty enough as it was so she spared them anymore glaring "Honestly the youngens these days!!" she waved a bony hand in their direction before turning to Sakura "I'm not gonna lie to you dear, the procedure me and my sister will do is going to be extremely painful…" Sakura nodded "That's understandable" she smiled politely at them.

"Sakura-chans strong! She can handle anything you throw at her! Besides its not like it lasts forever" Naruto smiled broadly.

The old woman nodded slowly, "well… its not a one day thing… the symptoms will last for a month at least and let me tell you they aren't pleasant" The other healer nodded in agreement "Messes with your mind it does" She pointed a bony finger at Sakura's forehead. It was Neji's turn to speak. "So when should we start? Were already running on overtime and should be getting back soon. The old woman nodded "It will only take about an hour, you all can stay in here with us if you like" and of course they did.

So far the procedure itself was completely painless and Sakura wondered if maybe she got lucky and would have no symptoms. They had slowly weaved chakra into her eyes, swirling around her nerves and diving into her brain. The feeling tickled her and she followed every one of there movements. She followed there steps and they threaded their chakra through her brain. She drifted off into thought as the sensation coming from her temple soothed her mind. She hadn't felt anxious or nervous about the session, in her mind she had long ago accepted that she would be blind forever.

A blind, useless lump of flesh that took up space… She thought of how Naruto had wasted months spending his time with her, she knew he was falling back on his training but she selfishly kept this to herself. She remembered when she took his arms one day she briefly recalled him being slightly more muscular. She remembered the guilt that came over her, Naruto probably hadn't trained in a while and it was all because of her. But she knew he wouldn't leave until she asked him too, so she kept quiet, not wanting him to leave her alone.

Alone in this dark, nightmarish world that she had been so violently thrown into.

In the back of Sakura's mind she vaguely heard someone talking to her, but she couldn't hear them. She tried to make out the words

"get ready dear!" Sakura opened her mouth to inquire but was stopped dead by an electrifying pain that surged through her head.

Sakura gasped out in pain as they reached her Occipital Lobe. She felt her head fly back and all the nerve endings in her body flare up. "Hold her down!" one of them yelled. She immediately felt several arms around her, each belonging to a different person and each of them trying to calm her down. But her brain was swirling, memories and flashbacks interfering with her rationality. She flailed against them immediately assuming the worst.

'they've got me! They've got me!' she screamed in her mind, images of people torturing her filled her head.

"We need you to do this Sakura"

"NO!"

"your making this a lot more difficult than it has to be"

"I wont betray my country…"

"either way we ARE going to get what we want, so I'll ask you once more…"

"NO!!"

"have it your way then"

"NO!!" she snapped back into reality as brutal memories filled her head. They were searching her mind, going into her temporal lobe, causing blocked off memories to fill her head at a violent rate. "GET OUT!! GET OUT!!" she screamed.

"Calm down!" "Safe now!" "Almost over" "hang in there!"

The words were mashed together and she had no idea who they belonged to. And frankly she didn't care. The pain was unbearable, she screamed as loud as she could but she couldn't hear herself. The chakra coursing into her brain no longer soothed her like it had before. She felt like she was being dipped into searing oil and set on fire. She felt like thousands of tiny acid coated needles were shooting in and out of her skin. Billions of names flashed through her mind 'HELP!' she screamed in her head.

'NARUTO!'

'GAARA!'

'SENSIE!'

'NEJI!'

'INO!'

'SAI!'

The pain peaked to its worst point and every horrible memory that had been locked away in the farthest catacombs of her memory flooded out, gushing through her. She could almost see demon like flames gnawing at her flesh, torturing her with pain and memory.

She lost it.

"SASUKE! ! !"

And everything went quiet…

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Ok for those of you who didn't get it, she was TRYING to call out for help but when the pain and fear became the worst she called out to Sasuke, and she didn't just think it she actually did scream it.
