Sorry I have been gone for so long, I hope you like the newest chapter!

"Sakura?" Tsubaki stood over the girl as her eyes slowly started to flutter open, Sakura slowly moved her hand to her forehead as she sat up.

"Hungry." She looked around the room and her once emerald green eyes were replaced with blazing red ones.

Tsubaki slowly took a stop back, Sakura looked like a vampire, her skin was pale, her eyes were red, and her fangs slightly showing as she looked at the witch, "I will be right back with something for you to eat, please wait here."

She walked outside, Sasuke was waiting on the other side, "Is she okay?"

"There is something else you need to understand before going in there, she is a hybrid, at night she can take on the appearance of a vampire and even have the characteristics of one." Sasuke looked up at the moonless night sky and sighed, preparing for the worst he opened in the door.

She was simply standing in the middle of the room, her long pink hair fell over her shoulders, her frame seemed smaller than before, "Sasuke?"

He nodded, her fangs showed even more as she smiled, "I heard you talking to Tsubaki, i heard everything everyone said actually." His ear started to burn as she went on, "I appreciate you talking to me, it was really hard to find my way back, I think it would've been even harder if you hadn't been talking to me."

Sasuke jolted up right in his bed, his hair matted to his face and neck. It's been five years since Tsubaki had to take Sakura somewhere else until she could control her urges, there was no update on their location or even if they were still alive. The attacks on witches increased, Kakashi offered asylum to a few that he knew he could trust, the vampires were trying to wipe them out so they could easily take over villages. Village leaders employed witches to protect them using spells and barriers, little by little the vampire began to attack covens.

There was going to be a meeting today to discuss weather they should keep looking for them or calling off the search, Sasuke didn't want to call off the search. He knew she was still alive because he could still feel her presence, it was hard for him to explain and never really had too because they believed him but now the council is getting involved. They always like to make things hard when it came to something he wanted, but he understood that it's been so long, he is hoping he can plead his case one more time.

He walked towards the building, it was small but it was no longer a simple little hut, he knocked on the wooden door and waited for Kakashi to give him the okay to enter, "Hey there, Sasuke."

Kakashi looked at him, his clothes were wrinkled, his eyes were tired with bags under his eyes, Kakashi knew that it was eating him up inside but he would never voice how much it hurt him.

"Naruto should be here in a few, is there anything you would like to talk about before we go?" Sasuke looked down at the wooden floor, it was no longer dirt, he kind of missed the dirt floors, it always gave him something to distract himself.

"What if they don't let us search for her, I know she's still alive, I can feel it but I can't prove it." This was a side that no one really ever saw except Kakashi and Naruto.

"Then we can keep looking for her ourselves, as long as you believe she is still alive then we will continue to look for her. I owe that much to her father as well." A little hope flashed through Sasuke's dark eyes as he looked up at his leader, even though he was wearing a mask Sasuke could still see the smile he flashed.

"What I don't get is how three months turned into five years, what could've happened. I thought Tsubaki said she had a safe place to go." They feared the worst for the few year and a half thinking that Sakura had killed the witch but there was a small glimmer of hope when someone had spotted them by the lake.

The leads never went anywhere but at least they knew they were still alive, one witness said the black haired witch was being carried by a smaller girl with pink hair. The witch didn't seem to be injured, just tired.

Sakura woke up and looked at the stone walls around her, the chains on her ankle only let her go so far, there was no window. The only way she could tell the time or when a new day had passed is when they tried to feed her and what they tried to feed her, she's been in this cell for almost three years.

They were ambushed by vampires, she was separated from Tsubaki and taken back to this place, she was covered in layers of dirt and sweat. Her once shiny pink hair was dull and matted, she's refusing to eat now, her stomach groans in pain with eat plate that's dropped and taken away full of untouched food.

She was tired, she didn't want to be here anymore, slowly losing hope that anyone was going to come and look for her. The only thing she's been holding onto are the memories of Sasuke right before she left.

Tears fell slowly, "If only I was strong enough, we could've stayed." she mumbled and swatted the tears away.

"I'm so tired." So her eyes drift closed as the overwhelming feeling of sleep took over her body.

Is someone calling for me?

--

Sasuke felt a tight grip on his heart, leaning forward he closed his eyes and tried to concentrate but the feeling was nothing more than a flash.

"Tsunaude is coming, there is one more thing I want to try before we head to this meeting."

Naruto had finally showed in time to be confused by what was going on. "What are we trying? Can we eat it?"

"Your stupidity is impressive." Sasuke grumbled and went to sit in one of the chairs closer to the wall, the little episodes left him drained, it always took a few minutes for him to return to normal.

"I think what you are feeling in these little episodes, are exactly what Sakura is feeling, Tsunade might be able to help us use that and find out where she is." Naruto's face settled in a serious look as he looked at his friend, obviously weak.

"It's like when Hinata is upset with me, I can feel no matter how far apart we are, when Neji died her grief crippled me every time she thought about him or we found something that reminded her of him." Naruto knew what was happening to Sasuke all too well, "It's one of the main reasons why I believe you when you say she's still alive, you're feeling her emotions and the pains she in."

"It comes in waves, some times I can barley stand afterward, just recently they've gotten worse." Sasuke looked around the room and paused, "To be honest, it scared me."

"It should scared you, you've had little interaction with this girl and yet your bond is so strong, is it stemming from your childhood together, or the fact that you've imprinted on her." The busty blonde walked through the door and placed her hands on her hips, a small back was draped over her shoulder, several herbs could be seen sticking through the top.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke was always annoyed whenever she came to "help" she always criticized everything he did.

"Did you two have sex?" Naruto's jaw dropped, Sasuke's face flashed red while Kakashi shook his head.

"That was a bit rude and that sounds like something I should've asked, not you." She smiled and patted him on the head.

"All jokes aside, you two have a very strong bond already and you two haven't had the time to bond like a normal werewolf couple. It's impressive to say the least and it might be enough to help us find her." Tsunade went to work, soon coming back with a foul smelling liquid in a small wooden cup.

"Drink this, and then you'll need to lie down, you'll be completely relaxed. If this works right you'll be able to talk to her, the only side affect is that it will effect her too. Whatever is clouding your senses will cloud hers too."

Grabbing the cup he drunk it fast, wincing at the bitter taste, it didn't long for his legs to go numb and the room around him faded.

"Sakura"

--

Sakura? Sasuke called out.

"Sasuke?" Her voice didn't even sound the same, it was hoarse and low, he could barley hear it, "am I finally losing it?

"No, it's really me." Soon imagines started to flash before his eyes, she knew that he was here to help find here.

The imagine of black metal bars flashed in front of him, he could feel the cool moss covered floor under his hands and through his clothes, her arms and legs were covered with bruises and cuts.

"I'm tired.." her voice was getting lower.

"I know you are, but hold a little longer." Sasuke focused on the flashes looking for so,etching that would give away her location, "Do you have names, landmarks, or anything that could tell me where you are?"

"No. I was blind folded when they brought me here." His anxiety rose a little when he felt her panic. "Hidan."

"The sound of his name made Sasuke's blood run cold, he was the ring leader, he was the one calling the shots and ordering the attack on the witches. No one could get close to him," how do you k ow that name."

"He's come to question me a few times, he wants to know where your village is, they've been running experiments on me as well. He's always there-"

The connect was being broken, he could feel her fading away her voice getting softer before it disappeared completely.

——————————————————————-

Sasuke shot up, a pain scream drip through his throat, he grabbed his shoulder and hunched over. He could feel the white hot pain ripping through his skin.

"Sasuke?!" Naruto knelt down next to the raven haired man.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, "I don't know what happened, we were talking and as she started to disappear I felt this pain in my shoulder."

"Was she able to tell you anything?" Kakashi knelt down handing him a glass of water.

"She's with Hidan." Everyone in the room feel silent, they knew just how dangerous he was, if she was in more trouble than they originally thought.
