Hey Guys, I've been missing out on your reviews (. Any who this is the next chapter. I couldn't update sooner computer MELT DOWN lol.

After the realization of her disappearance Tsunade sent out ANBU out to search for her again… The big question was why would anyone want a dead body? That question ran through the minds of all. She couldn't place it but Tsunade was starting to put the pieces together, slowly but effectively she began to realize what was taking place.

'She isn't dead'

Sasuke knew it. She wasn't dead after all. It gave him a sense of hope, but only anger was replaced by it, for the loss of her once again. Kakashi was already out searching for clues with his pack of dogs. Naruto was being comforted by Hinata at the funeral grounds. He just couldn't imaging what would happen to her next and actually had no idea where to go.

"I can't believe we let her slip through our fingers again. We have a number of suspects and we can't even begin to imagine who it might be." Naruto had his hands in his hair sitting on a bench with Hinata.

"It's alright Naruto-kun we'll find her. We already have ANBU looking for her. You're always the one who has hope."

"I guess you're right Hinata. Listen I'm going to go to Granny and find out any info that she might have. I'll see you later." With a kiss on Hinata's cheek he walked off to Tsunade's headquarters. Hinata blushed a crimson red, something she hadn't done since she was 13. Old habits die hard.

Meanwhile…

Sakura lay on a flat medic table still unconscious as Kabuto and Orichimaru discuss their plans.

"So, now what Orichimaru-sama?"

"Well you know we don't have much time, I have to take her body now before everyone shows up. She is very beautiful, and she got stronger from what it looks like. She's not a weak Kunoichi anymore."

"To be honest Orichimaru-sama it's going to be weird having you as a girl. I know I've seen you as one before, but Sakura. It's just plain weird…"

"Silence!"

"I apologize I was to bold." As he finished his sentence a pink haired ninja began to awake.

"What's going on, am I dead?"

"Not for a long time Cherry Blossom, not for a long time." With the sound of laughter rough hands grabbed the dazed girl and began to chain her to a cold hard floor surrounded in seals.

"What's going on! What are you doing Kabuto-teme? Orichimaru, what are you planning?"

"As you know, in order for me to live forever, I have to take over a beautiful, young, and strong shinobi's body and since you qualify for all I think I'll use you as my next container."

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU! TAKE THIS OFF OF ME!" She began to try to use her super strength to rip apart the chains but to no avail, her chakra was way too low. She gave up and watched in horror as hooded figures began to surround her and in the center of its all was Orichimaru with a menacing grin.

"Kakashi-kun…" Laughter came out of the snake's mouth.

"Your precious Kakashi has no idea where you are! He and his stupid dogs will never find you." She closed her eyes and prepared to be taken over. But, nothing happened. She heard a bunch of loud thuds and when she opened her eyes she saw Kakashi with Chidori in both his hands.

"Sakura your, safe now." He threw the Chidori at Kabuto who wasn't fast enough for the attack. He slumped on the ground either dead or unconscious. Orichimaru's smile began to fade.

"He's not the only one who's going to be a hero in this story…" A proud Naruto spoke from the shadows."

"I'm here to, don't worry Sakura, we'll get you out of this ugly snake's clutches, and I'll personally kill him, for all that he's done, once and for all." Sasuke also came out of the shadows with his signature grin, but this time he had love and care in it.

"You guys found me. Thank you." Sakura smiled tears creeping from the corners of her eyes. She was happy to see her friends again. She looked at Kakashi who had a brave face on but gave her a quick glance and a smirk.

'Kakashi was always there. Just like all my friends as well."

"You think you can defeat me so easily? You fools know nothing."

"I think we know quite a bit, with Sasuke here, who trained with you, and Naruto here is the future Hokage, and I also have a couple of tricks up my sleeve. Don't underestimate us." With that he disappeared and reappeared next to Sakura and took off her chains.

"Run…" her eyes widened and she stood up.

"But-"she started to say.

"No, buts I thought I lost you that time, and I am not going to lose you again." She nodded and kissed him on the cheek.

"I love you…" and she ran out of the cave as the fight began between the other three.

"I love you to Cherry Blossom." And with that he turned around and joined in to a fight that would change all lives forever….

Hey Guys. This chapter wasn't great. I must admit, I'm starting to get writers block so I don't know when the next time I'm going to update. But, I won't keep you waiting too long. Next chapter Sakura will come back because, who would miss a fight like that. Itachi will also have a part in it. I think the story is at its climax, but I'll make a sequel if I get reviews ;)
