Long legs slipped out of the car as she stepped into the dirt road. Purple eyes followed up the drive way towards the door. She quickly walked though the door up the stairs and to the back of the first hall. She opened and door and stepped inside.

A tear slid down her face, starting to cloud the sight that she knew so well.

The little girl's bed hid in the corner of the room, next to the doll house and opposite the wardrobe still filled with her clothes.

"What are you doing in here again?" A soft voice asked.

"I'm sorry" the girl replied.

"Ayame…"

"Yeah I know. But I can't stop coming here…especially when it's so close to…" Ayame bit her lip as she looked up. They both knew what she meant and they both hated it.

"You have to move on Ayame" she insisted, and Ayame stared shocked at her. "Move on? Are you joking!?" Ayame exclaimed "Do you seriously think we should just forget! Is that all you give her credit for. You going to just forget-"

"I AM NOT going to forget. I'm just saying, maybe you should not cling so hard. I miss her to."

"For gods sake Naomi did you forget why we started this?" Ayame questioned as she walked in front of her sister.

"Yes I know, and I will make who ever hurt her pay for this. I swear! But it's been 5 years and every day you come in here. She meant that same to me you know…she meant the same to both of us." Naomi cringed; she would never forget what happened. Memory loss wouldn't even spare her for long.

Ayame swallowed hard, that night, that month, that year had been that worse part of her life. She would never forget what happened…and she would never forgive who did it. She hated her job, she only did it to find out what they needed and though years of working in this 'business' they had never found out. So they both forced themselves to keep going. Hoping that they would find something to link them to what happened.

"I don't do this job because I enjoy it, I do it because I'm gonna put those sick basterds away…for good. But first we have to find her." Naomi glared. "But, I think I have a new lead.

"Who?" Ayame questioned as she raised her eye brows at her twin.

"Take a look at this…."


He couldn't find her anywhere. No matter where he tried she just wasn't there, not even at the Uchiha mansion.

So where the hell was she?

Probably somewhere with Sasuke, while Hisashi was at work.

How stupid did she think he was?

Did she think he wouldn't find out about her affair? That she had him wrapped around her little finger? No.

He was Sabaku no Gaara. He feared nothing and was controlled by nobody. People avoided him and that was the way he liked it.

Gaara clenched his fists.

Everyone had…but Sakura.

Sakura, the kind, cheerful girl that had lied and cheated.

She was giving him a migraine, and so was Naruto yelling his name…

Wait Naruto?

Gaara opened his eyes to see the hyperactive blond yelling his name.

"GAARA!" Naruto screamed as he snapped back into reality.

"What?" Gaara grunted he was not in the mood for annoying, loud blond people.

Naruto stiffened; as if trying to decide on something.

Gaara glared at him, causing him to scratch the back of his neck. "Um Gaara…its Sakura…"

He clenched his fist; he came here to talk about Sakura...

"What about her?" Gaara growled, his eyes narrowed. He didn't want to know about it , but for some reason he had said it anyway.

"Sasuke isn't seeing Sakura" Naruto exclaimed causing Gaara's thoughts to freeze.

"How do you know?" Gaara asked suspiciously.

"Gaara, you of all people should be able to tell a lie from the truth." Naruto stated his face completely serous which didn't happen often. "You got so upset and mad that you couldn't even tell the most obvious thing in the world."

Naruto was right. After all as soon as he was told about Sakura and Sasuke…his mind went wild. But the question was if she wasn't with Sasuke….where was she?

Surly if the Sakura had gone out for lunch she would be home by now.


Slowly a snake slithered around the entrance if a cave. As a man briskly walked though the corridors of the underground home pushing his glasses up as he walked noticed he was being watched.

"Kabuto-sama" A woman greeted bowing as she spoke.

"Karin-san" Kabuto nodded, "I suspect you have all the details that we need."

"Hai, I also have some other information that I believe will be very good in this mission." Karin smirked as she handed him the papers.

"Very well, go a head." Kabuto ordered.

"There is not only one thing that stands in our way anymore. It seems some more problems have come up. I'm Sure Orochimaru-sama will know them, after all they were a big part of his life at one stage. But that's not all…" her voice lowered so it was a whisper, "we seem to be out numbered…"

Kabuto's frown turned deeper, "How is that possible?"

"Yesss Karin how is that possssible?" a voice slurred behind them.

"Orochimaru-sama" Karin bowed.

"Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto greeted "It seems we have some problems. This mission is not going to be as easy as first thought. Is it best that we talk in the medical room? It's about time for you medicine."

Orochimaru nodded as they made their way down the corridors. Soon he was going to have what he needed; it was only just a matter of time.


"Come on Naruto. What's all this about?" Kankuro nagged, as he flopped onto the couch.

"Wait a minute. We have to wait for the Gaara." Naruto replied as Temari sat on the one seater with her legs resting on the coffee table.

"Jeezz Naruto, will you hurry up?" Temari mumbled as she laid her head on the arm rest just as Gaara walked into the room, his eyes hard.

A sway of silence settled in the room as Temari shifted uncomfortable in her chair. "Gaara" Temari questioned as he looked towards her, his eyes cold.

"Gaara if you want me to tell them…" Naruto asked as Gaara looked at him. "No I'll tell them." He stated in a deep voice, "I think something happened to Sakura."

Temari's eyes widened "What do you mean you think something happened?"

"I think Hisashi did something" Gaara explained as his fists clenched. "No I think he and Sasuke did something."

"Did what?" Kankuro asked as Temari's eyes reviled realization. Did Gaara mean that she was getting abused? It would have explained the bruises on her arms and legs when she had been getting changed. But she had said it was a training accident with Tsunade. She been lying, Temari knew that but was it really Hisashi?

"The bruises…" Temari mumbled as Gaara turned to her.

"What bruises?" Gaara questioned his voice filling with anger. Temari shook her head.

"Temari tell me!" Gaara growled.

Temari took a deep breath as she looked away "She was getting changed when I walked in on her and she was covered in bruises. She said it was nothing and brushed it off as training. I thought that something was up but I went along with her anyway…"

Gaara's eyes flashed dangerously. "Gaara, her father must abuse her" Temari sighed.

Gaara's thoughts froze. No one had talked to Sakura since yesterday and she was meant to be with Hisashi did that mean that he might have…beaten her?

His eyes flashed gold as he smirked.

"Gaara wait! You have to calm down!" Temari exclaimed as she stood up. This was not happening; they had taken Shukaku out of him…hadn't they?

"Gaara" Kankuro warned as Gaara hissed and disappeared into a swirl of sand.

"WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!" Temari screamed a worried look spread on everyone's faces.

"I thought that Tsunade had taken Shukaku out of him…" Kankuro swallowed.

"She did" Naruto said "but maybe…"

Silence hung around them. Was Shukaku really back?

"Do you think Gaara would let him take over?" Kankuro asked his eyes glued to the spot where Gaara had disappeared from.

Temari bit her lip in response. She had a feeling this was not going down well.


Sand dropped to the ground to revel a figure standing in the middle of Sakura's room.

Jade eyes searched the room for any sigh of life or really for Sakura Haruno. He walked into the bath room looking for any reminiscence of what he was looking for.

His eyes searched the dry shower clean sink and hung up towels. There was nothing in the room. Suddenly golden eyes suddenly indulged his as he sniffed the air picking up an unfamiliar scent.

He swiftly walked out the bedroom door and down the stairs to where the strange scent lingered.

His eyes hardened as he recognised the lady.

"W-who are you?" she questioned wondering how he had managed to get in.

"Where's Sakura?" Gaara asked as his glared at the female in front of him.

"I… don't know who you're talking about" she replied praying to god he didn't persist further.

Gaara hissed "Don't lie to me bitch. Where is she?"

Sayuri gulped, who was he? Did he have some kind of connection with Sakura? A friend maybe? Would she have been so stupid as to tell him what happens to her? About Hisashi and….everything? Horror struck her face.

"I-I'm sorry…but I'm going to have to a-ask you to leave…" she stuttered out. Gaara's patients fried. "Tell me where she is or I will make you tell me" he spat his eyes flashing gold again. Sayuri's stomach leapt as Gaara took a step forward.

"I-I don't know" she spilled "I haven't seen them all day. I don't know where they went."

Gaara studied her for a moment.

"If I find out you are lying. I WILL make your death a painful one" he stated as he headed out the door.

XxXx

Garra's stomach churned. No body knew where Sakura was… and that meant no body could help her if he was…bashing her.

'What's wrong boy?' a voice chuckled inside of him 'Lost something?'

Gaara growled 'shut up.'

'Is someone not happy to see me back?' he taunted.

Gaara glared at him mentally 'how did you come back?'

'Did you really think you could get rid of me forever? We are connected and it's a connection that can never be broken pup. Tsunade drained almost all of my energy. I've been asleep all this time. Only know do I have enough energy to talk and activate sand' Shukaku smirked.

'Hn, then find Sakura' Gaara demanded.

'Oh you mean your little mate? Well she's not really your mate…yet. So sorry I can't' Shukaku explained.

Gaara snarled 'What do you mean you can't?'

'She's not your mate; you haven't claimed her so you not 'linked'. So we can't find her"

'Mate?' Gaara questioned.

'You have to have sex with her' Shakaku put it bluntly 'wow, won't that be fun?'

Gaara sneered 'you won't touch her.'

'I won't….but you will' the demon smirked before disappearing into the back of Garra's mind.

Mated? Was Shukaku joking? Did he really think that they would…?

Garra's thoughts spin. He still had no way of finding Sakura. What was he going to do? He had to find her, they could be doing things that…he didn't even want to imagine.

Why hadn't she told him? Or even Temari or principal Tsunade. Did she think that they would have abandoned her? And let this keep happening? They wouldn't have done that. He wouldn't have done that.

Quickly he headed back home. Maybe Temari knew a little more about something or maybe Naruto would be able to sniff her out.

XxXx

"Gaara!" Temari exclaimed as he whipped back into the house. A pile of sand landing at his feet. "Where did you go?!" she questioned as her eyes automatically checked his eyes to make sure they were the right colour.

"I went to Sakura's house" he said in an emotionless voice. "Hisashi's little whore was there. She said she didn't know anything."

"Gaara…what happened before?" Kankuro questioned as Gaara's eyes hardened. "Did Shakaku really….was he really in your mind?"

"Hn" Gaara replied.

His siblings were dumbstruck. Shukaku was back?

"His...his back?" Kankuro asked after a few moments. There was no way that Shakaku could be back. Principal Tsunade and the older medic had taken him out of Gaara, he had almost died.

"How is he back?" Temari gulped.

Gaara shrugged, he wasn't even sure himself. "Where's Naruto?"

"He went to see if he could find you" Temari said as she reached into her bag and pulled out a cigarette.

"I thought you quit Temari" Kankuro stated.

"I did" she snapped as she pulled out the lighter and started walking outside "but not when I'm so stressful."


Temari inhaled deeply as the smoke burned its way though her throat.

"Didn't know you smoked" came a lazy voice of Shikamaru who raised his eyes brows as she puffed out the smoke.

Temari shrugged as she took another drag from the cigarette. "Want one?"

Shikamaru nodded his head as she pulled one out of her pocket and handed it to him and he pulled out his own lighter and lit it. Taking a in a slow breath he turned to face Temari.

"She's in trouble you know" Temari sighed as she exhaled her face looking up at the night sky. "Hisashi took her. I know something was wrong, but I didn't say anything. I should have and now we don't know where she is."

Shikamaru took another drag. Temari knew he was upset and even if he didn't talk he was still listening to everything. Temari took one last inhale of her cigarette before she dropped it on the ground; stepping on it.

"We don't even have a clue to here she is. I thought that she didn't want me to tell anyone. After all me, Gaara and Kankuro know what it's like first hand. And I just let her take it. I should have said something, if I had of she wouldn't be missing" Temari said as she bit her lip.

"How long have you known?" Shikamaru asked as Temari looked down "a while."

Shikamaru looked at her his normal lazy face completely gone "Who knows?"

"The only others besides my family are you and Naruto" Temari replied as Shikamaru dropped his cigarette on the ground his eyes calculating "are you going to tell the others?"

She shook her head. After all it wasn't her right to tell the others Sakura's business. Sakura's should be the one to tell them herself…shouldn't she?


"Saki!" Sakura exclaimed as she ran up to her friend and grabbed her hand, "Come and meet my new friends." She smiled as she pulled Saki along.

"Saki this is Gaara" Sakura exclaimed as she pointed to the red headed boy leaning on the tree facing down. "This is Kankuro" she said pointing to the brunette standing next to a blond "and that's Temari."

"Guys this is Saki" Sakura introduced the brunette with two plats.

"Hi" Kankuro waved and Temari nodded.

"Hey" Saki grinned.

"Hey Saki Temari, Kankuro and Gaara live in Suna. Isn't that cool?" she asked her as Saki nodded her head.

"So why are you guys here?" Saki asked.

"Dad's here for business" Temari rolled her eyes "He draggers us around with him."

"Wow that would be so cool. I wish me dad was like that." Saki pouted as Gaara looked up at her, his dark lines under her eyes.

"You don't wish he was your dad" he stated darkly before looking back down.

The four look at him surprisingly. "What do you mean?" Saki questioned her eyes confused.

"Saki! There you are!" An older voice exclaimed from behind the kids.

"Oh hi mum" Saki smiled as the lady approached.

"Do you know how long I have been looking for you?" she scolded "You know better then to run off like that."

"Sorry it was my fault" Sakura apologised "I was introducing her to some of my new friends."

"Oh hello Sakura. It's ok but we do have to go. We were only stoping for lunch here. We were on our way to Saki's grandmothers to go and get her sisters." Saki's mum stated. "But we have to go now."

"See you later guys" Saki waved to everyone just as Gaara looked up to see purple eyes staring back at him.

Gaara shot out of his deep meditation. Those eyes...they were the same as the girl that had talked to him about Sakura. Was it Saki?

No it couldn't have been…could it? She had looked older then Sakura. Weren't they meant to be the same age? He had thought that they were. She seemed different, was it really her?

Sakura had never said anything about Saki while she had been here, did Saki do something to Sakura?

Gaara's anger coiled up inside if him.

Had she betrayed Sakura? Had she been on Hisashi's hide the whole time? Did Sakura even know about it? He had to be right. She had been pretending with Sakura, pretending to be her friend.

But why would she have done that? She had always seemed to care about Sakura a lot. Why would she just turn on her like that?

There had to only be one answer. He had hurt her as well. Had he made her so scared that if she did anything about him and Sakura he would kill her or her family?

She would have done anything for Sakura. It had to be the only explanation unless... It wasn't Saki. Could it have been one of her sisters?

He had only even heard of them once. He didn't even know how many she had. But one of them had to be the one that he saw today but why would she be out here helping Hisashi?

She had to know something about Sakura and where she was.

His eyes turned colder then they had stayed since last afternoon. He was going to fins Saki's sister's and let them know how he felt. He was going to squeeze the information out of them one way or another.

Once Sakura was back safe and secure in his house he was sure of one thing.

Gaara mind was set up; as soon as he found Hisashi, he was going to die a slow agonising death.
