The next time Sakura gained consciousness, she was relieved that with a quick scan, her chakra was back to its normal levels. And seeing as it was, her body automatically began to heal all the sore muscles and pains her body was in. She sighed in relief, and in a blur, she was suddenly by the lone window in the room. Sakura scanned the perimeter. There was only trees, trees, more trees, and...she squinted at a stumbling figure in the distance, and what she saw had her stumbling back in apprehension. It shouldn't be possible. She swallowed audibly, but took a deep breath and looked again.

The figure was a female -emphasis on the was- telling from the slim figure of what was left and the long black hair, but what had Sakura reeling was not only did it not have an arm, but no jaw nor stomach as well. Her intestines were blackened and hanging limply, swaying to and fro.

If Sakura had a weaker stomach, she would have lost it contents.

'What the hell is that? It can't be human', then a sudden thought came to her 'Could it be one of Orochimaru's failed experiments that escaped?'

Though Orochimaru was dead, there were too many labs and victims to keep count of, some were bound to still be running around. Her eyes narrowed in anger, er emerald eyes almost sparked as if they contained a storm themselves. Her body practically trembled in fury in thought of that man, no matter what, his name never failed to bring up bitter memories, just how much he hurt her family.

Sakura shook her head to banish her train of thought.

She had to get to it in order to put it out od its misery. Normally, she would stop at nothing to heal her patient, even at the expense of her own life, but there was obviously no way for it -her- to live normally. She looked rotted.

Sakura tensed her body in order to jump out the window, but stopped abrupt at the sight of a second, similar figure bumping into the female, causing the two to growl at each other and...Sakura's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and added chakra to her eyes. The scene seemed to zoom in and increased in clarity, and Sakura saw as the -uh- beings sniffed at each other and carried on.

'Is it a mating mechanism like drugs or something to tell friend from foe?'

Sakura shook her head. They growled first, sniffed, then continued. Not really mating behavior.

'They tell us apart by smell'

Sakura nodded at Inner, but continued to watch the things for tell tale signs. She watched them more.

'But they're not very fast'

Again, Sakura nodded and froze when she saw five more emerge. Something wasn't right here. As much as she loathed Orochimaru, even she would admit -to herself- that he was a genius at what he did. Two experiments that failed in the same way was okay, but a hand full like that did not have the mark of Orochimaru.

'Then where did they come from?'

That was the million dollar question

'And where the hell are we?'

That too, because they were obviously a long way from home.
