Soryyyyyy its been so long since I've updated!! School started a few weeks ago, and since the first day I've been smashed with homework!! Taking to math classes (one being a senior class, when I'm only a sophomore) is realllyyyyy hard!! But, I will try to make the next chapter longer, no clue if I will be able to, and I will try to update sooner then before!! Enjoy!!

Crack.

My leg fell limp in his arms.

Temari screamed.

Everything turned very black.

Chapter 25!

When I woke I was very stiff. One of my legs throbbed, my head throbbed, and my wrists sting. I tried moving my hand to wipe my forehead, but I can't move it. The stinging got worse, though. I lifted my head a little and looked down at my limb. Heavy metal clamps were holing both of my wrists and both of my ankles to a metal table. The one I am laying on. I groaned and let my head fall back, only making my headache way worse.

"Sakura? You know that you will always be my best friend, and that I will always love you, right?" Katie asked, a worried look on her face as she stopped walking and looked up at me.

"And I love you, too, Sakura. Always." Danielle smiled.

Fucking bitches. They did this to me! It's there fault I'm in pain, their fault I'm here. Where's Temari? I heard her scream before I passed out. What did they do to her? She is no match for Orochimaru, and if he had others with him other then Sasuke... That women and that man! The ones from the restaurant! They are the ones who got the signal from Katie and Danielle and told Orochimaru that we were there. That their plan was going to work. DAMMIT! I'm going to kill them!

I let out a frustrated yell as I yanked on my arms and legs, trying desperately to get free. When I see them I am going to kill them. I don't care if they are sorry, I don't care! They are both dead! My anger over run the pain in my body.

"Hush, Sakura. There is no need to cry." A voice said from the shadows.

I stopped moving, stopped breathing. Now I can feel the tears running over my cheeks, I hadn't noticed them before. "W-who's t-t-there?" I gasped out.

There was a dark chuckle, then that man with the long gray hair pulled back into a pony tail stepped out of the shadows. He's the one from my dream. He works for Orochimaru. "My name is Kabuto." He said, pushing his glasses back up his nose. Fear froze me once again. What am I going to do? I have seen my future in a dream. I know there is much pain to come, and that I can't prevent it. It is the unavoidable. "Now, I need you to be quiet for a little while." He said, walking over and picking a few silver tools up off a metal table next to the one I am strapped to. He tugged up my shirt and wiped off my bare stomach. "I must warn you." He said with a smirk. "This will hurt. Badly." Then he shoved the two sharp tools into my skin, cutting, slicing.

I screamed.

I screamed with all I have, begging him to stop. The feeling of blood pouring over my skin scares me. I can feel it all. The slicing of my skin, the pouring of my blood, the metal against my insides. It hurts. This is like no other pain I have ever felt. He sliced off a piece of my flesh and took it away from my body. The worst part, he is smiling. He is enjoying every second of my pained screams. It's like he wants me to scream more. He is not being gentle, or nice to me at all.

I screamed until I passed out.

(Gaara's POV)

Temari had some how been able to text me while she was on the ground after they took Sakura. When I showed up with Naruto, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and Konan she was in the worst state I have ever seen her in. There wasn't any blood, but Temari was so hurt she couldn't even open her eyes. I was pissed, to say the least. Shikamaru and Kankuro took care of her while Naruto, Konan, and I started to track Sakura down.

They are not going to get away with this. I will find them, and I will kill them all.

The three of us split up and searched different parts of the city, I went to Sakura's cousins house and told them that Temari and Tsunade were taking Sakura on a little trip to a spa, and that I don't know how long until they get back. Sachio didn't quiet believe me at first, but accepted my story after a few minutes. Taya was a little put out that she hadn't been invited.

I searched their house for any clue while they were talking in the kitchen. I found nothing. I went to the Hyuuga estate and searched that, I asked Hinata a few questions, but she knew nothing. She turned frantic when I told her that Sakura is missing, along with Danielle and Katie. She called up Naruto and had him come pick her up. I was gone before she got off the phone.

This can't be happening. I promised Sakura I would protect her. I promised that she would never feel the pain or have those scars. I broke my promise. She will never forgive me.

The next place I went was the Yamanaka flower shop. I asked Inoichi many questions about what he saw in Sakura's dream, and if there was anyway to tell where the hideout might be. He said that it was some kind of under ground place, but that was all he could tell. It could be anywhere.

This isn't supposed to happen. Sakura isn't supposed to be taken away from me like this.

All I can think about is how she pleaded with me, she pleaded for us to go away from here. Just the two of us. I should have left with her. I should have taken her and we should have gone far, far away. It's my fault that she is gone now. It's my fault because I didn't leave with her when I had the chance.

"I will find you, Sakura. I promise."

(Sakura's POV)

Pain.

Numbness.

A sense of fear I cannot place.

Coldness.

I squinted my eyes open. The room I am in is dimly lit. Pain surged through my body, making my squint my eyes shut with a wince. I can feel the pull of stitches spread over the skin on my stomach. Just how much had he cut me up? What did he do after I passed out? What's going to happen now? Am I really going to live through all of the slicing of a scalpel to get enough scars to look like I did in my dream?

I attempted to sit up, but only got myself propped up on my elbow before I had to stop to catch my breath. The pain is unbearable. I opened my eyes once more and looked around a little bit. I am in a room that has a hardly packed dirt walls, ceiling and floor. The two doors in the room are wooden. Only one is open a little, I'm guessing its a bathroom. There is an indent in the wall that holds a rod with a white dress on a hanger. A makeshift open closet. One small table by the only bed, the one I am on, is holding a small candle.

Fear snapped inside me like a spark catching dry pine needles on fire.

This is the very room I was in when Inoichi was searching my head. I tried to slow my breathing, it is painful to hyperventilate. But it will not stop. I felt myself falling, and soon I was back laying on the bed holding my throat trying to get air to pass into my lungs.

"Stupid girl." Came a soft growl.

There was a piercing prick on my thigh. My breathing started to slow, and the pain in my body started to disappear. I opened my eyes and stared at Kabuto threw my lashes. He put a empty needle back into his white lab coat and then reached up and put my hands by my sides.

"You shouldn't strain yourself. It will be bad if you do not heal correctly." He said, lifting my shirt to examine the stitches. He took out out some thread and a sewing needle and started restitching my skin. I can feel the tug of the string, but there is no pain. What ever he injected into my system took all of that away. "I suggest you do not get up for a few days." He said once he was done. "Master will be in to see you shortly, do not struggle or the stitches will come back open and you will bleed to death. I will not stitch you back up again." Then he was gone. The door shutting behind him.

Thoughts seemed to leave me head. I can't concentrate on anything. I closed my eyes and a picture of Gaara was showed to me. Gaara. My Gaara. My Gaara that is going to come and save me. He will rescue me and then take me far away from here. Where it will be just us, no one else. Where I don't have to share him, and where I will be protected. Always within his sight.

Gaara...

Gaara...

...Gaara....

…..Save me....
