DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto.

The ninja put Sakura to sleep in an empty cell full of bones that are held by chains on the walls. Blood was very evident. The floor is already slippery because of it. It is also seen on the walls. Past prisoners were beaten while hung, making their insides come out and splatter throughout the room.

He placed her on the very center in chains. Her hands were tied above her head and her legs are just the same. Her breathing is slowly coming out of her mouth with a rhythmic pattern. But all will change once she awakens...

"This should do it. She will never escape this place." the ninja said after he had tied Sakura. "Orochimaru would be pleased if he sees this." He walked towards the door and exited, leaving the helpless girl inside.

The ninja went to another room, much more decent this time. He knocked. When he was welcomed, he came in.

"Sir, I have captured one of them." he said.

"Who may I ask?"

"Haruno Sakura, Sir."

"Hmm...she'll be just fine. But Kabuto, I ordered you to get Uchiha Sasuke, not Haruno."

"I'm sorry Sir. When I came there, he was surrounded by too many other worthless ninjas. The girl was isolated so I decided her to be the hostage since she's close to Sasuke."

"I never thought you have such common sense, Kabuto. I'm really surprised."

"Thank you for the comment, Sir." he said. 'I'm really flattered.' He thought sarcastically, even though he felt down when he heard those words.

"When will you see her, may I ask?"

"Later, when she's already awake." he answered with a very malicious grin. "And if anyone finds out where we're hiding, be sure they won't get the sacred scrolls."

"Yes, Sir."

Meanwhile...

DREAM

Sakura was trotting in a vast clearing filled with different kinds of flowers. A little while later, she was already running with open arms to feel the gentle breeze caress her face. She stopped when she heard laughter.

She walked towards a high part of the clearing. She bent down on the edge. She saw the other teams including Sasuke and Naruto enjoying themselves. The girls were having somewhat a "girl talk." The guys were just plain walking while the others were chasing each other. Chouji was sitting peacefully eating his daily dose of chips. Sakura saw a blushing Hinata and Ino and Tenten laughing their heads off.

"Maybe they're talking about crushes. I'll just join them" she said to herself.

Sakura merrily skipped towards the girls. But before she could say a single word to them, the atmosphere began to change.

The sky started to darken. The flowers began to fade its colors and the earth shook so hard.

All of them fell on their backs. Most of them were shouting, whether words of fear and pleas or curses.

Sakura was in a complete state of hysteria.

'What's happening?! A while earlier it was so peaceful and now it is so...CHAOTIC!' she thought panicking.

Sakura tried to calm herself down and learn not to panic like what she does during dangerous missions. But when she looked at her fellow ninjas, she was in the biggest shock of her life.

All she knows now is that she's looking at dead people completely covered with blood. Neji and Sasuke were fighting (A/N: since they are the most powerful among them) with a familiar ninja that could only be...Orochimaru!

"What's he doing here?" Sakura asked herself.

Her eyes bulged out when Orochimaru stuck a shurinken at Sasuke's stomach and Neji's back ferociously. Her tears were unstoppable. It just streamed down her cheeks freely.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

At the sound of this, Orochimaru glanced at her with piercing black eyes.

Sakura drew back in fear. Her eyes filled with terror and fright.

Orochimaru walked awkwardly towards her direction. He stopped, eyes concentrated at her. He got another shurinken out of his pouch and aimed it at Sakura's forehead. But before he could even do it...

END OF DREAM

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Sakura woke up with a start.

'That dream was so terrifying! I was almost ki- (A/N: killed) ...where am I? Why am I in chains?!' she thought with a mixture of anger and confusion on her face. "Oh yeah, I forgot. I was kidnapped." she said with a sigh.

Sakura lifted her head only to see bones tied just like her. The only difference is that the bones were covered with an icky red thingy called blood.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" she asked, or rather yelled to someone which would probably be the bones.

"You're in my territory." A man answered, popping out of nowhere.

"Orochimaru..."
