I do not own. If i did well it would be yaoi goodness always and Sakura would not even exist.

He was sitting in a cell. The bars were made of a special stone that drained the chakra of the prisoner it held tight. How did he get in here? All he remembered was that he was with his lover when an unknown enemy attacked them. He did not know if his lover was all right, did not know if he was alive. He was hyperventilating; he was having a panic attack. The world was blacking out. And in the distance all that was heard was "Ku, ku, ku." The world was silent and permanent night fell on his eyes.
Tsunade awoke with a start. Something was wrong. She had not felt this way since her gaki was sick. She was terrified. But became even more so when a certain someone burst through her door.
He awoke quickly. Something was missing. He was gone and he was becoming more terrified by the minute. He bolted out of the bed and fell straight on the floor. The world was spinning and he knew in an instant that he had been drugged. Her fought through the haze and pulled himself up using the table by the bed. When he managed to make it to his knees, he noticed a note addressed to him. He read it, his eyes growing wide with each line. He ran from the room, his drugged state forgotten. He had to get to Tsunade, now.
Tsunade was pacing her office trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong. She was scared but it made no sense. At that moment, somebody burst into the room with twelve Anbu trailing him.
"Tsunade-sama, we tried to stop him but he would not listen, please forgive us!" the leaser said. She nodded her head and dismissed them with a wave of her hand. When they had all left she asked, "Where is he?" All the stranger did was hand her the note. Her eyes became clouded and her hand went to her mouth. "N- NO! I just got him back, I can't lose him again!" She collapsed and wept hard. Through her tears, she told him to call Kakashi and have him get her best ninjas. They were going on a fox hunt.
Kakashi nodded his head in understanding. He was ready to move out but Tsunade said to not move until tomorrow, she was going with them. She dismissed them and the stranger stayed. Tsunade handed him the note and asked if he would like to go. He nodded his head yes. She asked if he would like to stay. He shook his head no. He nodded goodnight to Tsunade and disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Tsunade collapsed into her chair, took out her bottle of sake, and downed it in one gulp. She savored the taste and wished she had something stronger for once in her life. She was not going to lose somebody else important to her.
He was asleep on his bed. The note clutched to his chest. It was stained with tears and streaks ran down his face. His hand loosened and the note fell to the ground.
Sasuke-kun,
I have something of yours. Hurry or you will be too late. Next time you should check before you leave. I do not die so easily. Let us see if the same holds true for him. Hurry, hurry, he will not last for much longer. And I grow bored. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
