After what seemed like hours, a prison guard had come to escort her to the conference room. She sat at the rickety folding table and was chained to the chair. She looked at herself in the multidirectional mirror and sighed. Pink hair and orange jumpsuits don't go together, she thought sarcastically.

A ninja walked in the room along with Kaneda and sat down at the table with her.

"Miss Haruno, you can make two phone calls. You can use the phone here. Oh, everything in this room is being recorded." Sakura nodded and thought of the two people who could help her out. The fifth and sixth Hokages. She picked up the phone and dialed the number to the Hokage tower.

The phone was as usual, busy. She waited and waited until the operator finally picked up on the other line.

"Do you know your party's extension?"

"Yes, 6-2-7-8-8-6"

"One moment. Please hold for clearance." She banged her head against the table. She'd been holding for ten minutes already. She understood Naruto-sama was busy as the Rokudiame, but sheesh.

A deep voice finally picked up on the other line.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Naruto, it's Sakura. Listen, you have to come down to ANBU headquarters. I have been arrested for suspected treason. Come right away."

"What? Sakura-chan? I am on my way. Don't move. I will call Kakashi-sensei immediately."

"Thank you. Please hurry." By the way, she thought to herself, she wasn't moving anytime soon.

Her next phone call was to Tsunade-sama. She tried her house and she wasn't home, then she tried Jiraiya's. He was.

"Hello?"

"Jiraiya-sama, this is Sakura Haruno, Tsunade's apprentice, I need to get in touch with her immediately. Do you know where I can find her?"

"Yep, she's right here. Hold on." Tsunade picked up the phone and after Sakura recanted the events, she hung up. They were both on their way. Maybe with two Hokage's, a Legendary Sannin, and one of the most feared Jounin in the business, they could clear up this supposed treason and Sakura could get home in time to meet her kids after school.

She redirected her attention to Kaneda and he flipped on a tape recorder. Sakura stated that she wished to contact her own legal counsel and not sign or write anything until they had a chance to meet.

After sitting in the chilly room and enduring the lingering stench of cigarettes, the four showed up. She was more or less surprised to see Kakashi-sensei on time. Naruto was visibly agitated and Tsunade didn't look particularly happy either.

"What in the hell is going on here? Where is your evidence and why in the hell wasn't I informed of this investigation before hand?" Naruto broke the silence and Sakura was even more shocked that he hadn't been informed by ANBU. Interesting.

"Hokage-sama, we are sorry to inform you that we have overwhelming evidence of her acts of harboring a fugitive and her disloyalty to her village."

"This is outrageous! I know you ANBU were given orders to hunt down any possible insider spies, but this is ridiculous." Tsunade advanced on Kaneda and threatened him if he didn't release her protégé.

"Your threats mean nothing here. You are no longer in office, plus, we've seen the files and you went soft on her when she became pregnant. So don't threaten me."

In a flash, Kaneda found himself pinned to the wall by Jiraiya and Naruto.

"You will remember why we are Legendary, you little runt. I may be 63 years old, but I am just as strong as I was when I was younger. I can still kick your butt. Don't underestimate her you little punk."

Kakashi by this point had put his book away and looked at the room.

"Let's stop the posturing and get down to business. This is obviously some gross misunderstanding. " He winked at Sakura to reassure her. He was stunned by her appearance. Her hair showed signs of a late night and an even longer day. She had red and puffy eyes from crying, and she was getting fidgety. Probably thinking about her kids. He looked at Kaneda and spoke.

"I believe she has two days to meet with her counsel before her arraignment. So, if you will excuse us, Kaneda-san, we will get to work."

"As you wish, Kakashi-san." He bowed and left the room and they sat down and tried to figure out a plan of attack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok, Sakura-chan, tell us every thing you know so far."

"Well, according to Kaneda, when I stupidly slept with Sasuke and didn't alert anybody, that was when the crime was committed. It's been so long since that night, it will take me a while to piece it all together. What I want to know is why now. Why after six years has this become an issue? Why is my involvement with him an issue? It shouldn't be. I just don't get it."

"Hmm.." Kakashi thought, "we need a good strategist here. Someone who knows how to handle the mind games ANBU plays. Ibiki is out of town on vacation, so he's out." He looked over at Naruto and on cue, he got the hint.

"Ibiki might be out of the picture but Shikamaru isn't. I'm going to call him. Jiraiya-sensei and Obaa-chan, hang out here, get all back ground information. Kakashi-sensei, I need you to do some field work. Ask your colleagues and such. Get me some answers. I will be back shortly."

"Hey Naruto, could you also call Gaara-sama. I have a feeling I am going to need all the fire power I can get." Plus, she thought to herself, he owed her a favor for saving his hide a while back.

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan, you aren't going to take the fall for Sasuke. I won't let that happen." He rubbed the back of his head and then poofed off to who knows where.

"Tsunade, I am also going to be doing some field research. I will be in touch and contact me when the Nara arrives. I know he is a genius and he may have an impartiality that will help us through this mess." Jiraiya kissed Tsunade and poofed out of the room.

Sakura just looked at Tsunade-sensei and rubbed the bridge of her nose. Where did she go wrong? Why didn't this make sense?

Tsunade looked at her young apprentice and smiled at her. She sat down and grabbed on to Sakura's hand. Sakura was no longer the green amatuer. She was one of the top medical ninja in Konoha and a working mother of two. She had truly blossomed and it hurt her to see her so down-trodden.

"It's going to be okay. Maybe if you talk to me about that night, something may make sense."

Taking a deep breath, Sakura sighed and began.

"It was a rainy night when I had gotten home from my post-operative shift. I had finished signing charts and updating the patient medications. I headed home and flipped on my light to my apartment. There he was, clear out of the blue, standing in my kitchen, bloody and soaking wet. He had a wild look in his eyes, and it had just been so long since I'd seen him. He looked at me and said,

"Sakura, it's been awhile, but I need your healing touch." That's when I fell back in love with him.

AN: OOh, what's going to happen? Hmm...only I know the answer to that. Muwahahahaha. OH yeah, read and review, and I don't own crap.
