"You're an artist." Sakura watched as her new captive sat one side and drew.
"Yes." He said. Sakura looked around. She noted that there was nothing inspirational in this place. She smiled.
"As an artist, what do you draw?" She asked, thinking out her plan in her head.
"Anything around me." Sai said. He glanced at his captive, where was this going?.
"Then you should get out. I mean, Charako could cover for you. You could go out and draw. There's nothing in here that can give you inspiration."
"Point made." Sai watched her face. She wanted time with Charako. And time she'd get.
"Karen, Sasuke's avoiding you. How will you keep him, I mean the party's in two days time. How will you save your marriage?"
"Amu shut up! You're sounding like the press. But you're right. I need a plan and a quick one at that." Karen stated harshly.
"Sasuke's-"
"Sasuke's family are that of loyalty. I have a plan, the night of the party I'll make an announcement that'll keep him by my side for sure. . ." Karen stated in deep thought.
"Charako!" Amu called out. Her ex-boyfriend appeared out of the black corner where he sat and watched the two girls discuss their plan.
"I don't trust that new guy, go and make sure everything's fine." Amu turned her back to him and continued discussing it with Karen.
Charako nodded and left.
"Funny, I was just coming to get you." Sai stated as he met Charako halfway.
"Had enough of her?" Charako smirked.
"Just go, I won't be long." Sai left.
Charako entered the shaft. His eyes took a while to adjust to the darkness.
"Sakura?" He called out.
"Over here!" Sakura whispered. She motioned to him to come over.
"Hey, you ok?" Charako hugged her, he noticed she wasn't in cuffs.
"I've been better." Sakura nodded. "Yourself?"
"Same old."
"I have a plan, to get us out of here. And to end this with Karen for once and for all." Sakura looked away.
"How?"
"I have to. . .die."
"Any new news?" Mikoto asked the two. Itachi stepped forward.
"There's been an ANBU agent in and out of the mine shaft. I saw him leaving and then meeting with the other male I saw that night, they spoke and then the ANBU left and the male went in." Itachi informed.
"Mmmm, sounds interesting."
"They're guarding something, but what?" Ino questioned softly.
"That's what I want to find out."
"And I can help."
All three's attention was pulled onto the fourth voice. Hinata stood there, a determined look on her face.
"Everyone thinks I'm innocent and sweet, let me go undercover and I can find out what they're up to."
"Hinata, this is no child's play. This is serious. Not a simple game." Mikoto spoke gently.
"And I'm not fooling around. My friend has been mean to me, to her fiancé, she's becoming rebellious and if anyone wants to find out why it's going to be me." Hinata looked at Ino and at Itachi.
"Ok." Mikoto said silently. "Alright, I'll send you in."
"Wha-" Ino and Itachi gasped in unison.
"If anything happens you report back to me immediately." Mikoto dismissed the three. "Go, I have something I need to take care of."
The three nodded and then left.
"Are you insane? You can't just. . .die!" Charako stated in shock.
"I'm of sound mind and I can. You're going to help me."
"No."
"Yes," Sakura sat back down and faced him.
"No." He declined.
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Charako, you are. That's final."
"Ok, what do I do?"
"Tomorrow, you'll line this shaft with explosives and exactly at noon, you'll blow this place up with me inside it." Sakura drew her plan out in the sand.
"What about the ANBU?"
"What about him? He's going to be outside, with you."
"How?"
"You'll make a noise and he'll come out to see what's with the racket. Then when the clock strikes noon and the sun casts a shadow on the shaft, you blow this place up."
Sakura stood up. She looked around the shaft.
"Ok. Is that all?" Charako questioned as he stood up.
"You need to get Karen and Amu here to witness it." Sakura went silent in deep thought.
"What do I tell them? Why did I blow it up?"
"You were angry at all of this, you just wanted your old lif with Amu back." Sakura turned to face him. "Can you do this? Because if I die Charako, I die."
"I don't see how this helps me."
"If I die, Karen will have no need for Amu and you two can go back to your old life."
"What do I say? Why's a blow you up?"
"You were angry and wanted your old life with Amu back."
"With me gone, Karen won't have to pretend or anything. Amu will go back to being yours." Sakura smiled. Charako noticed the determination in her voice. She was planning something and he knew it.
"Times up." Said entered the shaft. Charako smiled as he realized what she was really up to, he held out his hand to her.
"Till next time." He and Sakura shook hands.
Sakura sat down, purposefully ruining her plan designs on the floor.
"And. Did you get your inspiration?" Sakura smiled. He plan was well underway now. All she had to do, was play along.
Sakura looked around the shaft, she noticed a few things out of place. She smiled. Karen didn't know what was expecting her, but she sure wouldn't like it.
