Recap

When he gave no answer, the only thing that alerted her that he was listening were those cold red eyes looking down on her. Suddenly, he reached over and grabbed her arm. Sakura let out a cry of alarm and surprise as he commenced on dragging her away into the darkness.

Rule 9 –Nothing should come as a surprise, expect changes.

"Where are you taking me?!" Sakura demanded thrashing about. "Who are you?! Why did you take me?! Let me go!!"

"…Hn."

They had stopped in front of double doors. He opened one of the doors and walked in.

The room had a large circular table in the middle with a bunch of chairs around it. Sitting in each of the chairs were dark figures in black and red-clouded cloaks.

"Pinky! Where'd you go, un?" said one of the figures. Sakura recognized his voice. Pulling lose from her captor's grip, she made her way into the light of the candle in the center of the table.

"I found her in the halls…alone." Said the voice behind her.

"Yeah, I lost her, un."

The man with the red eyes made his way around the table and sat beside the huge blue-shark-like creature. The way it gave her a sadistic smirk frightened her. She shivered and stood there awkwardly.

"Sakura Ha-" Deidara quickly bent over to whisper something in the speaker's ear. "…Sakura." Corrected the peculiar figure sitting at the end of the table directly in front of her. "We will commence questioning you some questions. Are willing to co-operate?"

"Er…Hai."

"Alright. Do you know why you are here Sakura?"

"N-No."

"Do you know how you got here?"

She shook her head franticly. "Tell me what you know or remember."

"Uh…I remember…my head aching…and everything turning black…and running. Lots of running."

"Hm. Do you know who we are?"

She shook her head weakly. "I don't remember any of you."

"Sasori, Deidara. I'm placing her under your care. If both of you are away on missions, Itachi will cover for you. Make sure she is treated with care and well trained." Turning back to Sakura, "Sakura, Rest assure, you will not be harmed in any way, but your brain has suffered from memory loss. You may never remember your past life but you are welcomed here as long as you are willing to co-operate. Dismissed."

Sakura looked around as the members at the table began to fade away from the candle light. She looked around for Deidara, but another member found her first.

"Hello. I believe we've met. My name is Sasori." He introduced with a weak smile.

"H-Hello." She muttered quietly.

"Sasori no Danna! Pinky, un!" Turning towards the voice, they both watched Deidara as he made his way to them. "Lets go, un!" They led Sakura out the doors and into a hallway with plain gray walls. She took this as time to observe her surroundings. The hallways were never ending, and the doors just kept coming. The whole place was like labyrinth. Stopping at a door looking exactly like the rest, Sasori opened the door and they walked in.

"This will be your room. Deidara's room is three doors to the right. My room is across the hall from yours," The room was quite plain, white walls, pale cream-colored sheets, black marble floor, and simple furniture. Sakura turned around from observing her room to the two bickering men behind her.

"Why is her room closer to you, un!?"

"Does it really matter?"

"Yeah! There's like 2 empty rooms beside in between us. You could have put her in one of those, un!"

"Do you really want to put her into the rooms you use to keep the dead birds you found in?!"

Deidara mumbled something incoherent that sounded a lot like "Bastard" and walked out the door. Sasori watched as he left, smirking, and turned his attention back to Sakura.

"Your training will start this evening after dinner. I suggest you rest until then. Deidara will come and escort you to the dinning halls." He explained before leaving her alone in her room. She nodded her head in acknowledgement and proceeded to crawl into bed.

"Sasori-san? I've definitely met him before." She stared at the ceiling. "But I don't remember a thing. Sensei-sama said I would get my memory back after the mission was complete, but I'm not even exactly sure what I'm to do on this mission! A bunch of rules, some useless background information and the knowledge that one mistake could cost me my life…just peachy." Eyes never leaving her spot on the ceiling, she stared aimlessly for what seemed like hours before she drifted into a light slumber.

"…-Nky, wake up, un," A voice called. "Get up! Dinner!"

"Nrrgh." She mumble under her breath and rolled over.

"Pinky. Wake up. Pinky. Pinky. Pinky. Pink-"

"Shut up!" Opening her tired eyes groggily, she stared back up into the blob of blonde and grey-blue eyes. "My name isn't Pinky. It's Sakura. Sa-ku-ra!

"Whatever, its dinner, un. Get up…Sa-ku-ra-chan." Deidara demanded before moving from his position over her. Mumbling with a frown, she hastily sat up in the bed as he handed her a tray. Looking downward, she saw a small bowl of miso soup, some onigiri, a loaf of bread and a glass of clear water.

Dinner was awkward.

Silence dominated the room as she, Deidara and Sasori (whom she just noticed was sitting behind Deidara in another chair) all ate. She wasn't really expecting this, not that she was expecting anything, but she sort of pictured them all sitting together at a table. She didn't know quite what to do.

A chair shuffled against the hard marble floor and instantly, all eyes were on the figure who stood from his seat.

"Deidara, when she's finished take her down to the left wing, I'll be waiting for you at the hall gate." Sasori said, gathering the remains of his dinner. "Make sure she is properly prepared." With that, he left the room bidding a short farewell before closing the door behind him.

Flashback

"Sakura, with any luck if the mission starts off successfully, you'll be within enemy hands. Refrain from panic, with the temporary memory-wipe jutsu, you won't remember a thing. So listen carefully, they won't inflict any harm to you because you do not know anything," The shadow behind the desk shifted uncomfortably. "To aide you, we have permanently placed rules into your subconscious memory. You will come into contact with people with different abilities and they might try to trick you into release information, but act natural and tell them you know nothing, alright?"

"Hai, I understand."

"Good." The figure looked down in a slightly guilty fashion. "I'm sorry Sakura, but all this is necessary." Getting up the figure made its way to the large double doors. Turning to one of the masked figures guarding the door, she whispered as quietly as she could ,"When she is finished, take her down to the left restoring room for the rest of the night, we'll be waiting at the main gates in the morning. Make sure she is properly prepared for tomorrow." Glancing back at Sakura, she smiled sadly and slipped out into the light protruding from the doors.

&End!

I'm trying to make these chapters longer, but I run out of ideas very quickly…and I'm beginning to doubt if this was a good starting plot, but I'm trying! xD

I'm deciding on whether there should be some SasuSaku in this too. xD. I'd also appreciate it if you leant me some ideas/inspiration for future chapters and such D I really want some of your input!
