Sakura woke up in a cell. At least that's what she thought it was, it was kind of hard to tell in the dark. Feral growling could be heard on the wind, but she paid no mind to it. Whatever was growling couldn't get her in her, at least she hoped that was true.

The world was still slightly spinning in her view, the drugs were wearing off though, and the edges of her sight were loosing the hazy blur they had.

She could hear ravaging winds blowing outside, a sandstorm raging. 'Well I guess Shukaku is angry.' Came a whimsical thought floating through her mind.

A cough wracked through her small frame. The drugs in her system had made her easy prey to decease and now she was sick. More hacking coughs shook thru her and made it hard to breathe as they ravaged her throat. Her ribs ached and her legs were weak. Sakura slumped over on the ground and moaned.

Sakura could smell herself and it wasn't pleasant. She could almost hear her inner, a voice she hadn't heard from since she was much younger, yelling at her.

"Get out of here! Come on we need to get out of here!" Inner's voice was succinctly there in her head once again. She wasn't sure why yet, she was safe from the sandstorm in there.

Sakura jolted though at her Inner's voice, she hadn't heard from Inner since she had met Zetsu all those years ago. It sent pain rushing through her head.

Near the cell door was a dark yellow rose, "Welcome back?" Sakura muttered as she reached out to it. "Back from where?"

She hissed and drew her hand back when she pricked her finger on a thorn. Sticking the injured appendage in her mouth and sucked up the blood that had gathered at the top of her skin. The blood had a faint metal and salty taste.

A growl sounded outside and the walls shook…

AN More to be posted later. Poll on profile and if anyone has any requests, I get bored easily so that should keep me writing and updating and stuff. LOVE YOU ALL, and sorry for the flower repeat but some have more than one meaning and this is important to the plot...
