Last Time....
'Where the fuck is Sasuke, I can barley feel his chakra, but he's near, I can sense it!', Sakura thought to herself, she figured it out, if Sakura ran into Team Hebi, they would just battle Akatsuki, allowing Sakura to go back and get Karrno out of jail, well along with her parents too.
Sakura got into a small clearing, getting out of the forest, Itachi knew already what she was trying to do, so he appeared in front of her, making Sakura stop abruptly. Sakura met his gaze and challenged him. Of course, they where cut off when a kunai was thrown in between them, making both, Itachi and Sakura jump back in surprise. They both looked over to find Sasuke glaring at them.
"Itachi!", Sasuke yelled, making his Chidori, stealing my challenge from Itachi.
Sakura stepped back towards Bird Jail, knowing her plan was working, only to be stopped by a brick wall that was called Kisame. Sakura cursed under her breath and looked over at the rest of Team Hebi, who was just standing there.
"Hey...you guys...wanna help?", I glared at them, saying 'help me now, so I can fucking escape', they just rolled their eyes except Suigetsu who gladly took my place and fought Kisame.
I silently thanked Suigetsu, who just grinned at me without any question.
I ran back towards Bird Jail, looking back to see Itachi and Sasuke fighting, I glared at Itachi as he glanced at me, who was smirking. I turned my head back, for some odd reason, I hope, Itachi and Sasuke both make it out a live. It's going to be, hopefully, be the last time I run into Akatsuki and Team Hebi again.
Back to the fucking story!
'Let's see, which way was Cell 714 again? God, this is so stupid, I mean, really, there aren't even any body gaureds around here...i wonder why', Sakura thought while going through various of long, dead silent hallways. She got to the Jail a half hour before ditching Sasuke's group and Akatsuki. She thought a lot about them, she wondered why most of the time, it somehow bothered her. Even a hideous thought crossed through her mind about even joining the Akatsuki or Team Hebi, she laughed and sighed at that thought. Itachi didn't have any feelings for her, he killed his clan, the people that he loved, why would he care about a kunoichi from his former village, she didn't no. The same thing with Sasuke, he didn't care about her in his genin days, why now?
She continued her way until she reached a flight of stairs that led to the 5th floor. Even though she made it to Bird Jail in 30 minutes, shes been in here for, what it seems like, 2 hours, just walking around, trying oh, so, very hard to find Karrno's Cell. This jail is huge and can probably hold half of Fire Country. Sakura sighed and looked up at the stairs with exhausted, tired, sad eyes. Come to think of it, she hasn't remembered the last time she slept, what she can remember is the hotel she slept in, about 3 or 4 days ago. I wonder what was keeping her up? Oh yeah, my oh so wonderful friends...
Sakura started walking the stairs that led to the 5th floor, that held, or hopefully held the 700th cells. Once she got to the top, she looked to her left that held, what looked like a janitor room, when she looked in front of her, it had two gigantic windows that gleamed sunlight into her sleepy eyes. She finally turned to the left and saw three single hallways that lead down with numerous cells in them. There was a sign that held the map of the cell. How useful this could have been 2 hours ago... The sign said:
CELL 500 LEFT. CELL 600 STRAIGHT. CELL 700 LEFT.
She sighed and silently thanked the lord that had mercy on her today. While she walked down the plain, deathly, big hallways, she counted the cell numbers until she saw CELL 714. 'FINALLY! Jesus, i mean really? It took me 2 hours to find Karrno's Cell! Well, i guess it's worth it'. She looked in it and saw that it was empty, she panicked for half a second until relief hit her. 'Thank God, I left them locked in my parent's cell. I wonder if they're still there...' Sakura asked to herself, only to see that her Inner was thinking the same thing. She walked down 3 more cells and saw Karrno, sleeping on the bed while her parents where in the back huddling together with nothing but themselves to shield them from the icy stone walls.
"Kaa-San, Oto-San? It's Sakura, are you guys ok?", Sakura said hesitantly, putting her small hands on the cement ground, leaning forward to take a better look through the bars of their cell. She didn't hear a reply, so she got up and took her light backpack off her shoulders. She put the backpack on her lap and looked through it. She looked over at Karrno, and saw he was asleep, she would just have to carry him back to Konoha. 'Maybe when he wakes up in a comfortable bed in the hospital, i'll give him the scroll. I can't wait to see his cheerful expression to know that he's gonna be out of this hell hole. She looked inside of her backpack and saw a few things like the scroll, 20 pack of kunais, summoning scrolls, and a whole bunch of explosive tags. 'I am sorta hungry too...' A vein popped, if only she had her crackers, which, she is dying of hunger right now, would be USEFUL, so I wouldn't have to DIE of STARVATION!!!
Sakura sighed in frustration, stupid Ganbumba...or whatever his stupid name was, stupid fat frog. She slung the backpack over her shoulder and dug through her leg pouch and found the cell keys.
'Who has ONE cell key for every fucking cell? God, thats so stupid...', Sakura grinned and stuck the lock into the cell and heard the Kur-chunk sound that she grew to love. Once she opened the bars, Karrno immediately shot up and fell off the bed with a loud thud that echoed through the hallways. I dropped my backpack on the bed and rushed over to him and helped him to his feet.
"Thank you, I think I broke my hip", Karrno said, leaning back against the bed, he groaned in pain while a tear slipped down his cheek. "Please help me". He gripped my arm and tugged me forward slightly.
"I am a medical ninja after all", Sakura said part of that to herself while taking off her black leather gloves. Her hand turned green, a shade lighter than her eyes. She smiled sweetly at Karrno as he stared at her with pained and bewildered eyes. Sakura immediately began to work on the fragile old man.
About 10 minutes later, Sakura put her gloves back on and put her hands on her hips. After the whole incident she found it quiet humorous how he fell off his bed, she laughed and looked down at him. He was backed up against the cement wall and looking down at his hands in him lap.
"....Who are you again?...", looking up at Sakura.
I fell over anime style. "W-w-what? Karrno-Ojii-San! It's me Sakura Haruno!!", I blushed of embarrassment and yelled at him.
"Ah, yes, now I remember! I am very sorry, I forget things. I forgot what the name for my problem was-"
"Memory Loss"
"Ahh, yes, thats it! How do you know Sakura?"
"..." Sakura sighed a helpless sigh and turned her gaze over to her parents. "Has anything happened while I was gone?" Sakura said as she averted her eyes back to the old man.
"I wouldn't know, I was alseep right after you left, I couldn't help but doz off", he chuckled and wobbled over to me. "I'm afraid I'm going to half to ask you for us to leave, you did promise me you where going to help me out of here!".
"It's my mission, yes, let's leave, let me just wake up my parents", I said turning over to my parents who where sleeping. "Kaa-San, wake up", I effortlessly shook her shoulder. Her eyes shot open and she lifted her head up in suprise.
It took her a while to realize what was going on, she just stared at Sakura for a few seconds, gazing into her eyes. "So...So...it wasn't a dream!", Ayame said tears already in her eyes. "My baby is alive and well! What a successful ninja you have become! I'm so proud of you, my daughter!", she threw her arms around Sakura without any hesitation.
I hugged her back and took in the moment of the family reunion. Sakura broke the hug and gently put her mother back against the cell wall. Ayame looked at her husband and shook him violently and he calmly took her hand and cradled it. He still kept his eyes shut, obviously wanting to sleep more, unaware of my presents. 'I wonder if his ninja skills have gone down...?', Sakura lifted her think pink eyebrow at her father.
Daisuke calmly opened one eye to look at his flesh and blood that stood, hunched over him, looking questionably at him. "Daisuke, Sakura is here, it wasn't dream! Wake up!", even though Daisuke was staring right at her now, his wife kept rambling on about Sakura. "Sakura, why are you here?", being a father, it feels right to feel protective and really, really, really confused.
Sakura shook her head and got up and turned torwards the exit of their cell. "Theres time to explain while where on our way back to Konoha, I will restore your chakra so you can travel steady with me as we make our way back", she took her backpack and got out two summoning scrolls. "You two are former ninjas so you two must have chakra, but, it must be all gone since you have been tied up here for 10 years. These scrolls will restore your chakra to full". I tossed them the scrolls, they caught them effortlessly. "I hope you know your ways out of Sound, you do don't you?", i asked.
Ayame and Daisuke nodded, they rolled out their scrolls and saw a circle sign. "We do, probably not as well right now, but once we get out of here, our memory is bound to come back", Ayame said. Daisuke and Ayame bit their thumb and marked their blood on each of their scrolls in each of the circles. Sakura, for what seemed forever, could sence her parent's chakra signtures that returned to their bodys.
"Can we please go already?", Karrno sighed and began wabbling, but failing, to exit the cell. What seemed like the end, he was caught by Daisuke, he lifted the old man up into a comfortable possition. "Hey! I broke my hip! I don't need Sakura fixing it again!", Karrno yelled and hit Daisuke on the head.
"Chill Karrno-Ojji-San, It's just till we get out of Sound, which hopefull wont take long", I sighed with happiness and relief that she will be one step closer to seeing her village again. She was home sick, she wanted to go home, take a bath, sleep in, eat ramen with Naruto, work at the hospital and just work on minor inguries for an hour, and than go watch clouds with Shikamaru. She wouldn't want to go on any mission like this for a while, than again, it was nice to see Sasuke again, she had to admit it. 'I wonder what hes doing right now', she felt a pang in her chest, she realized, that he could be dead for all she knew. She didn't want Sasuke to die, know matter what he did, she cared about him and would protect him even if he wanted to kill her for all she cared for.
Shaking away her thoughts, Sakura turned to her parents, she reached into her backpack and took out an explosive note. No way was she going to exit out of this hell without a trusty explosive, maybe, if she was lucky, a random sound ninja would get blown up or something. She attached the explosive to the kunai and signaled her parents to jump back when she threw it.
When it hit the wall, it blew up the whole side. Nothing colasped of the weight taken off the building. Sakura could feel the thick, cold air hit her face as the breeze entered the Jail. Sakura grinned and did a thumbs up to her parents and jumped out the side of the wall and down the Jail's outside wall. She was going at inhuman speed torwards Fire Country, which was now, South.
Finally, she was on her way of going home.
