VI

I indulge on your cries, it satisfies the other me

That night I had a feeling in my body that felt cold. The cold chill that had my body shiver caused the reaction of my body to curl up, bringing my knees to my chest in an attempt to keep warm. A sudden cold blow of air to my right ear caused me to stir just a bit. Groaning a bit, I stirred just a bit more before opening my eyes. I was blind. I couldn't see my surroundings; the thought of me not being safe in my home frightened me. Instantly I sat up trying to adjust my eyes to the darkness, but it was of no use the darkness of this room made me feel like I was caged. The air in this room made me feel suffocating; I was choking on nothing but the air I felt like I was limited to. I gulped wondering where I was and how I got to where I was finally had sunk in. The events that had taken place all had came back to me, and I didn't know how long I been out for.

"Hello Sakura…I missed you."

I felt my body grow numb, my body was shivering under the blanket I was supplied with. He found me, he has me in his grasp, and I didn't know what he was up to. The man that I had loved with all my heart, the man that killed people for a living, the same man that made a fool out of me had me where he wanted me. My mind was rummaging with different thoughts about why I was where I am at the moment. I never understood Sasuke; he was always distant and never really liked to talk about his job in front of me, he never really liked to discuss why he does what he does either. I hugged myself in the darkness of this room attempting to give myself at least a little bit of comfort.

"You're awake." Such two simple words in way of greeting were spoken taking me out immediately of my thoughts. I didn't turn to acknowledge the person that had must have been here the whole time, watching me and my reactions to waking up in a place I had no knowledge about. I sucked in the corner of my bottom lip, biting it lightly with my eyes shut tight. I knew who the person was, the bastard who loves to drag me back into a nightmare and chase me like I was some sort mutt. When I gave no reply to him, I heard footsteps advance in my direction, the gasp left me almost instantly when I felt warm, rough hands gripping my chin tenderly. He wasn't hurting me, but his touch burned, and no matter how much I didn't want to look at him- I had no choice but to look at a familiar face once again.

"Do you still despise me?" I remained silent, I couldn't answer. I truly didn't despise him personally, but I did despise what he was doing with his life. The side of him that was a criminal, a murder, and a sick twist man who uses other people for his own gain that was what I despised about him. He stayed there staring at me with those eyes that still made go weak at the knees for. It was a trait- a family gene that runs in his family that every member is good looking.

"Why have you brought me here? Why have you been literally stalking me for the past couple weeks close to a month or so? Was it not you, who said you wanted, nothing to do with me? Why after two long years you decide now to come back for me? Did you finally grow bored and decide, 'oh let me get Sakura so I can torture till she begs for death' Is that it? You are a sick man Sasuke sick!" I knew he wasn't going to answer any of my questions the moment his hands dropped from my chin back to his side. He continued to stare at me with those eyes of his, and that smirk of his was easily seen in the dark but vanished when I felt Sasuke's body move away from mine. I blinked a few times wondering what was going to happen next, but I was surprised when I heard footsteps backing away from me.

"You still think of me in such a way? I'll be whatever you think of me as Sakura." His voice grew low, and cold, the venomous tone dripping with every word he spoke was worse than being bitten by a snake. He was a poisonous man, but as my eyes drew close, narrowing in on his figure cloaked in the blanket of the dark I sucked in a breath to gain confidence with what I was going to say next. I paused rethinking what I was going to say making sure to word it right, but the mouth moves faster than the mind can think. With the atmosphere of the room growing thicker and thicker Sasuke was in front of me faster than I could react.

"I don't think of you as anything! Because I know what the hell you are!" I hissed. The blanket in that covered my lower body was held tightly in my grip to help me keep my composure. I will not fall to this man, I repeated over and over to myself. Those strong arms that once so long ago that held me with such care gripped my shoulders now with so much force, I felt as if my shoulders were going to break. I feared for this man, but it was only after looking at him so close up did I really began to think. His body was so close to mine when he pulled me to him, his eyes bored into my own, and it was there for just a brief second before it vanished I saw it. The emotion I thought I would never see again, the look of pain, and regret that was snuck away behind the coldness of that mask of his. I winced as the reminder of his grip on my body came back to me; I suppose he heard me because as if my body burned him I was released.

"You do not know anything, so you do not have the right to assume of what I am." He was angry. My arms crossed over each other rubbing my shoulders to tend to the roughness that I was handled to them. I refused to look at Sasuke as he spoke to me, this was who he truly was, and always had been. I wish I could have taken what Yukina and Rin told me all those years ago to heart, maybe I wouldn't be in the situation. I sighed, I was really never a good listener when it came to things like Sasuke, and maybe this was a punishment for taking Sasuke away from Yukina. I honestly don't know, but I wished Ino was here at the moment.

"We were together for over three years Sasuke; I think I know who you really are. You lied to me for the first year and a half of our relationship! How could I continue on to trust you after what I had learned? How long did you think you could keep something so big from me? If I stayed would you have honestly have told me what your real job was?" I questioned, since we were both alone in the room and couldn't actually really see each other in the dark; it was a perfect time to bring out Sasuke's real colors. I wanted to know why he did the things he was doing, and I really wanted to know why he brought me back. He was never the type of guy to go retrieve something or someone himself unless it was really that important.

"I lied to you because I knew you wouldn't accept it. Honestly you blew things way out of proportion. Stay here, you are not allowed to leave this room. If I so much hear you have stepped out of the room Sakura, well you wouldn't want a man like me to deal with such misbehavior now would you? After all I am a monster as you put it right?" With a snap of his finger the light had switched on, giving me a perfect view of what Sasuke was dressed in. He was dressed almost like the day I had first met him. He wore black skinny jeans, with black boots that had metal spikes poking out, and white and navy blue striped shirt. He wore all his piercings, the gages in his ears, the snake bites, and the one piercing on his right brow still hadn't changed a bit. The sharpness of his stare at me told me he was dead serious about me not being allowed to leave this room, and all I could do was openly glare at him when he left me all alone.

"Bastard"

Hong Kong- 4:32- Sasuke's mansion

"I hear the little princess is up from her sleep Master Sasuke." The dark hues of Sasuke's eyes darkened at the mere mention of Sakura. His fingers curled inward piercing the palm of each hand with the pressure he applied. That girl was infuriating him to the highest point, but even though he felt infuriated with her, he still couldn't deny the fact that he was still attracted to her. When he reached the bottom of the stair way he was faced to face with one of his most trusted right hand man. With his face more than half way covered, and his silver hair combed in a weird angle, he placed a hand lightly on Sasuke's shoulders. Sasuke stared darkly at the man before him, before closing his eyes releasing a tired sigh.

"Kakashi, what news do you have for me? Did you get the task done I assigned." His voice returned to the menacing frightening tone. Kakashi moved to the side allowing Sasuke to move forward, it was a simple sign of motion alerting Kakashi to follow in suit. They walked down many hallways; it still amazed Kakashi that there was no sign of women anywhere in this large place. It was a real downer for Kakashi to be in a place where the female species were nowhere in sight, minus the one locked up stairs. They stopped at a large bronze door at the end of the long hallway; with a rough push Sasuke opened the door to his office.

"So you are telling me that he is still at his dirty tricks eh? Did you find out what he is planning to do with the women he's conducting experiments on?" Sasuke asked coldly taking his seat behind his black desk. His elbows rested on top of his desk, his fingers weaved together allowing it to form a small platform for him to rest his chin upon. The hues in his eyes grew darker, and his hair slowly moved in front of his eyes giving him a darker, scarier look. Kakashi took a few steps forward bringing the bronze door to a close, so no one roaming around the household would listen in on their conversation. His strides were slow, he had pocketed his hands, and Kakashi's own eyes narrowed showing a more serious look.

"I have not, but I do know that the woman he is kidnapping and conducting experiments on has not survived; I was unable to figure out the chemicals and the type of experiments he was using and conducting on them. However, I can tell you that they are not every pretty. His techniques are getting more and more gruesome. I have an agent posing as one of his men; apparently he's gained a lot of information on you, and the little missy upstairs. The only puzzling thing is how and where is he getting all of his information on you from? And another thing Sasuke, and I don't think you are going to like what I'm about to tell you." Kakashi's eyes went to a close, before reopening them; he slowly made a few more strides up to Sasuke placing both hands on top of his desk looking straight into Sasuke's eyes. The sudden motion from Kakashi had perked Sasuke's interest and gained Sasuke's full attention when he had leaned back into his chair. It was a motion telling Kakashi to continue.

"He is planning to take Sakura, when is unknown but we can't let our guard down. She possesses a gene that, that man needs. My source tells me that he'll do whatever it takes to bring her to his side." Sasuke closed his eyes let all the information that Kakashi was telling him sink in. Even though Sasuke was suspicious of the fact that, that man was planning on taking her, Sasuke was now just fully aware. His right hand moved back to rest on the desk, his index finger tapping the glass that covered it lightly. The thought of losing her once again, and this time when anyone would least expect it was itching at him, but he would never let anyone know just how bad it bothered him.

"I was already suspicious of the action that man was going to take, but you just reassured me that he was indeed planning that. So to take matters into a more serious occasion Kakashi it might be safe to say, that we must only keep our closest members to guard her. The ones you trust the most is to be with her at all times, all others must stay away from her. If you have a source within that man's organization, we must take caution that he too has someone of his within our own. Another thing Kakashi before you go, I want you try and figure out just who is feeding that man all this information on me and Sakura. When you find that person, make sure you dispose of him will you? Bring Neji here, and if Naruto arrived already bring him here as well will you." With his orders given and a wave of Sasuke's hand signaling Kakashi to be dismissed, he was out the door in seconds. Sasuke couldn't help but wonder just why the girl was causing him so much trouble; he rested his head back on his chair, and smirked. That man was playing a dangerous game, if he thinks he could even dare match up to Sasuke's level.

Knock-knock

"Lady Sakura, I come to bring you some food. The master had informed me that you have not yet eaten something since you were brought here. I assure you, though I am an elderly old man, I could still make one good meal. I hope the taste will be to your satisfaction." Sakura eyed the old man that had taken it upon himself to enter her chambers with a silver tray in his hands. He advanced slowly her setting the tray of food down on a table in the middle of the room, though it was still dark, it amazed Sakura that this man was able to walk even though slowly without tripping on anything. The small noise of the tray and table meeting had told Sakura that he was probably preparing the table for her, but she still was unsure of what he was doing.

"My-my it's so dark child, did the young Master not tell you to turn on these lights?" He questioned shakily. With three claps of his hands, the room had lit up revealing to Sakura who was in fact in front of her. The elderly man in front of her gave her a small smile, before walking up next to her. He took a strand of her pink locks in his wrinkly old hand placing it behind her softly. All Sakura could do was blink in surprise at the care the old man was showing her when he took it upon himself to wipe away the dry tears that had stained her cheeks. She had remained silent as he used his sleeve to freshen her up a bit, the action the old man was showing her, reminded her so much of her father before he had passed away . When he had finished he brought the strands of the other side of her face that had fallen out back behind her ear, giving her yet another small smile.

"A beautiful girl should not waste her life weeping in the darkness of her chambers. Your eyes are stained with sadness and the feeling of betrayal my dear, but they still glow with the determination to keep yourself together. I know not the reason of the real reason why you are so against the young Master Child, but you need to put a little bit more faith in Sasuke Sakura. He is doing everything for you, even if you think you are suffering at his hands. Sasuke will never let any danger come to you my dear. Though he may look distrustful, and he has done many things that are unforgivable, the fact that he is to human will never change. As human's we do things that may not seem fair, or they are outrageous, or despicable, and we fight amongst each other it is our nature. However, every human has a heart, and even if you are so much against, the young Master has heart as well." Sakura did not understand why this old man was telling her all this, but she couldn't let It slide. No matter how kind this old man was being to her, she couldn't let all this go.

"He kidnapped me, stalked me in text messages and voice mail. He used to beat me when he was drunk off his ass, he lied to me! Left me a short time before we were to wed! Broke my heart! Betrayed my trust! And you want me to forgive him? What kind of fool do you think I am?" Sakura hissed turning her head to the side, but she was surprised when the old man had reached out to her placing a hand under her chin and motioning her to look at him. Her eyes were clouded with unseen tears that threatened to spill out at any moment, as the old man gently ran his thumb at her jaw line.

"Mind you Sakura; he kidnapped you for your own protection. When he beat you he apologized day in and day out did he not? Though I can see why you are upset at that, but you must understand his stress, I'm sure he didn't do it intentionally. Did he not quit drinking after the third incident? So you really aren't playing fair my dear. Youngsters these days of age, all you do are point fingers. Why back in my day we took responsibility for our own actions, and the consequences were worse than these days you see. There was none of this "but he did this and that, and this" when both is at fault. May I remind you My Lady that you too have lied to the Young Master, and have also betrayed his trust. Do not get me wrong I am not picking sides, but I suggest you think about the Young Master's feelings first before you pin all the blame on him. Now go on and eat, I have other business to attend to, enjoy the meal." The words that the old man spoke were to shocking for Sakura could even think up a reply. For once someone was able to make her not be able to come up with anything to fight back with. She was so caught up with what he has told her that she hadn't even realized that the old man was already walking out the door, but not before taking last look at her with a small smile lingering on the old man's face.

Regretfully Sakura had looked down; he was right on some points. That Sasuke did start acting really cold to her after she had confronted him about what he was doing for living. Calling him a liar, a monster, accusing him of not caring at all for her could have set him off a bit. She sighed in her chair just picking at her food, confused on what to do. According to that old man, Sasuke did everything to her just to protect her, but according to her-self he did everything he did because he loved to see people suffer. Apparently Rin and Yukina thought the same thing, and Sakura couldn't be even more confused on what to decide. Which Sasuke was the real Sasuke? She knew that Sasuke was the leader of a Mafia; she knew he was drug trafficker, but she didn't know what else to think of Sasuke. She groaned in frustration running her fingers through her hair, the thought of pulling at it out crossed her mind, but she just released her hair and allowed herself to slide down just a bit.

Mind you Sakura he kidnapped you for your own protection.

Pfft, protection from what? She told herself tiredly, her eyes looked over the ceiling above her wondering what exactly was going on. The vibration in her pocket took her out of her thoughts, she sighed wondering why her phone was going off. She was already in Sasuke's grasp, there was no use in him texting her or calling her now when he could so easily just come up and see her if he wanted to. She refused to take her phone out of her pocket, but the neglecting of her phone caused the caller to keep at it. The calling continued, and the texting did also, sighing she finally gave up and decided to answer the caller whom she assumed was Sasuke.

"Ok I get it!" She began, but the caller had already hung up on the other end. She groaned out of frustration, but gasped when her phone vibrated in her hand. The number was unknown, and she didn't know what dirty trick Sasuke was up to, defeated she flipped open her phone once again and began to read the text message at hand. What she had read literally made her heart skip a beat.

Incoming text message: Make sure you eat something, you look awfully pale.

Could it be that he was showing concern for her? She shook her head throwing all those thoughts about him even thinking about him seemingly to be kind out. She was still unsure if he could be trusted, he has yet to prove anything to her. Even on the first day of their reunion he had once again proved that he was not good with first impressions. She allowed herself to chuckle just a bit before sitting up on the chair, and began eating the food that elderly man had kindly brought for her. She inwardly smiled at the taste he had not lied to her, the food was truly delicious.

{Sasuke}

"Naruto, I'm pleased that you finally made it back to Hong Kong on time for once. How is Hinata fairing?" Sasuke had asked not even bothering to look up from his paperwork. With his hands still in his pockets Naruto walked in as always with a wide smile on his face. He gave a small laugh when he saw Neji sitting down on the left chair in front of Sasuke's desk. Sasuke knew that Neji never really liked Naruto dating his cousin, and Naruto knew himself that Sasuke brought up Hinata on purpose just so Neji could give him that deathly 'I'm going to kill you' look.

"Uh-ha-ha, she's doing well….ha-ha hey Neji, how you doing?" Naruto asked suddenly changing the subject. Neji didn't answer just turned his face away from him to look back at Sasuke. Quickly though, knowing that Sasuke was probably losing his patients at the moment, Naruto moved to take his seat on the right side of Sasuke's desk. All three sat in silence, waiting for Sasuke to speak about why both of them have been called to meet Sasuke so suddenly. Naruto fidgeted a few times, he was never one to sit still without anyone talking it was another trait that most people, especially Sasuke found annoying about the young blond.

"Naruto, I called you here for a reason. Neji you know what is going on, so just sit and wait. Naruto, you know a little about what is going on the underground, and who is leading the Black Anokoku gang. However, I have just received word from Kakashi that he is using some weird chemicals, and conducting experiments that the females he has been kidnapping have yet to live through. I was also informed that they are now fully aware of Sakura's history with me. Kakashi's source is had informed him that they are planning to take Sakura when we least expect it, we cannot afford to leave her in just any bodies capable hands. Therefore, Naruto I'm removing your position of looking over Sakura. Though you are skilled you took two years off training to be normal. At least until you are able to get back into your high ranking, and your senses sharpen up a bit more." Sasuke put a hand up to keep Naruto from interrupting, it was not just a sign it was a signal. The bronze doors opened slowly, and in walked another one of Sasuke most trusted guards.

"Both of you know Nara Shikamaru. Come in Nara. As I was saying, Sakura will no longer be in your care Naruto; she will be in both Nara and Neji's care as well as mine. Shikamaru, Neji you know your orders, I do not want Sakura to always feel like she's being cramped, and always watched. However, I want you both to make her feel at home, be her friends without her knowing of your orders. She's already furious at me as it is. I do not want you to tell her anything about my protection of her, or that she is being targeted. If possible keep her in the dark of it all; when the time comes I'll be the one to tell her everything." Sasuke eyed each one of them carefully making sure that each one was listening to every word being spoken.

"Naruto, since I am removing your position of watching over Sakura, I want you to go back to your original assigned team with Kakashi, and see who is behind this matter. Someone is giving that man information on me and Sakura, and I want to know who it is as soon as possible. Kakashi already knows his orders; you will be helping him on this case. I will also put you to work with Jiraiya in the training grounds to help you regain some of the skills that might have weakened during your assignment." Sasuke wasn't able to finish his sentence when Naruto had rudely stood up from his chair, anger was written all over the young blonds face, and it was proven when he opened his loud mouth.

"YOU CAN"T DO THAT SASUKE! Sakura is my best friend, I know her better than any of these two bastards! She'll never allow these guys to get close to her! And my skills have not WEAKENED YOU ASSHOLE I-"Naruto was silenced when Neji stood up and punched Naruto square in the face pushing him back just a bit. The sigh could be kept in, it was released from Shikamaru and a lazy hand went around the back of his neck the irritation in Shikamaru was noticeable.

"Naruto you have orders, you are not allowed to get near Sakura at all. Plus Naruto let me remind you, you were the one that gave her back to me. I'm grateful for that don't get me wrong, but you must have realized have you not that in Sakura's mind, you have betrayed her. Do you think Naruto that she will let you anywhere near her knowing that because of you, she is back in the one place she wished to never return to?" The anger in Naruto had quickly disappeared, only be replaced with regret. He unwillingly went back to his chair, sitting down in silence. It was true that he still felt bad and maybe just maybe that this might be a good idea; he wouldn't be able to face her, at least not now.

"Good you finally had silenced yourself. You all have your orders, Naruto you are dismissed. Nara and Neji I want both of you to remain here. Remember Naruto you are not to go anywhere near Sakura." The warning Sasuke sent Naruto was menacing, but everyone in the room knew that Naruto never had any fear of Sasuke. Sasuke knew it as well, but Naruto knew when he had to follow orders there was no room to full around when Sasuke gave Naruto that type of look. Especially if it involved Sakura, with a slight nod, and scowl Naruto stormed out of the office.

"Dealing with Naruto is such a drag. I'm glad he's no longer on my team." Shikamaru was the first to break the silence the moment Naruto had left the room. His hand rubbed the back of his neck and walked over to take over the seat that Naruto previously had next to Neji. Neji remained sitting in silence lightly running a hand over his slightly red right fist that he used to hit Naruto. Once again all three had sat in silence wondering what Sasuke was going to say next.

"We have to take care of the matters underground quickly. Naruto already know that if anything should happen to Sakura I'll start a war so large, all the great nations will battle each other, not only that I'll make sure that no creature, no human will be left alive. Do you understand at how important watching over Sakura is? I'm leaving Sakura in both of your care, because besides Kakashi I know she will be safe. I trust you will not fail me." Sasuke spoke in a loud stern, cold tone; both men stood up and gave a nod understanding completely of what they were supposed to do.

"However, along with watching over Sakura make sure you keep your skills sharp. I don't need two more slackers to retrain. Naruto was careless, overate, got more fatigue, I noticed that when we met face to face for the first time in two years. While is one watching over Sakura the other will find time to train and vice versa. That is all I have for both of you, when you approach Sakura be cautious…she can be…feisty." Sasuke smirked at the last word he spoke. He loved that trait about her the most, only because she was the only one that didn't automatically swoon over him, and often ridiculed him when they were together though it was strange it made her different.

"Understood" With their orders given both men walked out of the room, only to have an old familiar face walk in greeting them with an elderly smile. Sasuke's eyes narrowed when the old man walked in he was the one he assigned to make Sakura her food. Even though he was not necessarily assigned to be a cook but was assigned a totally different task, he asked that man to tend to Sakura. He took slow strides towards Sasuke's desk, but the moment Sasuke stood up straight up from his chair his advances toward Sasuke was put to a halt.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked immediately walking quickly toward the old man, gripping him lightly on the shoulders in a way to help him over to one of the chairs that was previously occupied by the other two he had a meeting with. The old man chuckled at Sasuke's gesture in helping him over, patting Sasuke's hands lightly.

"Sasuke, I might be old, but I'm not that old that you have to help me across the room. Mind you boy I use to run this organization before I let you take over my position many years ago." He laughed loudly taking a seat that Sasuke had helped him walk over to. Both sat in silence, Sasuke waiting for what the old man had to say, but waited patiently for him to get comfortable in his chair.

"Sarutobi, you know I have the upmost respect for you. You treated me more like a son than my own father treated me. It's only right for me to tend to you in your old age." With Sasuke's response the old man now known as Sarutobi laughed once again. His hands patting down on his legs at the same time, a soft choking sound was heard before Sarutobi once again regained his composure. He looked over at Sasuke and gave him a small smile.

"The girl was crying yet again Sasuke." He began; a quick flash glowed over Sasuke's eyes.

"I don't care if she cries all day, as long as that man doesn't touch her. I don't give a fuck." Sasuke hissed, earning a disapproving look from the old Sarutobi. He stood up from his chair and walked closer to Sasuke, he looked Sasuke over the frown on his face grew, and the narrowing of Sasuke's eyes darkened.

"My boy, if you want her to grow to love you again, you have to give her grounds to trust you again. The past is the past; she's here for a reason now is your chance to show her how you are really like. Though she sees you as nothing more than a cold beast, you can show her the same tender love and care that you show me. Though not in the same way, but you can ease up a bit. Spend time with her; show her the side of you that you refuse to show everyone" Sarutobi laughed patting Sasuke on the shoulder lightly.

"I'd rather die." Sasuke quickly turned his attention the side of the wall, completely aware of the once again disapproving look the old man was giving him once again. His hand dropped back down to his side, Sarutobi said nothing, but turned himself around and slowly began to walk out of Sasuke's office. None had exchanged words to each other, but Sarutobi inwardly hoped that he had gotten his point across to Sasuke in treated Sakura a little more gently. However, some how he somewhat doubted that Sasuke even attempt to change.

You have one new voice mail- to listen to your voice mail please enter pass code then press pound.

"Honestly why is he calling, and just leaving voice messages and text message. I don't understand that man at all." Sakura whispered lightly, but was taken completely out of her thoughts when the door to her chambers opened up roughly. Sakura jumped just a bit, shocked at the unexpected visit, but quickly regained her composure when she saw who had entered. Her eyes narrowed in on the man that she somewhat loathed at the moment when he walked deeper into her room. His dark eyes blazing over hers eyeing her then eyeing the table where the tray was placed, he smirked pleased that she had eaten the meal that was supplied for her before glancing back over to her.

You have to give her grounds to trust you again

"I apologize." Was all Sasuke had said, his sudden apology had taken her off guard. She blinked a few times, but she kept tall. She looked back at her phone, then back at Sasuke. Her eyes narrowed in, her blood boiling, and she more than ready to tell his ass off when her phone in her hand had began to vibrate once again. Cutting her off of what she was about to say. Sasuke had moved closer to her when he noticed her eyes change glancing from him to her phone in her hands, then back to him. The uncertainty in her eyes had perked his interest, and decided to make his advances toward her to see what it was that caught her confusion.

"What is wrong Sakura?" He asked curiously, he stood about two inches away from her, and his eyes immediately widen when he heard what she told him next.

"Sasuke if you're right there…who is…who is sending me text messages and voice messages?" Her response caused Sasuke to rush closer to her, roughly taking the small device out of her hand. He completely ignored her wince and moved a step away from her, reading the text message, after text message, before moving in to listen to her voice mail. He took a small cord out of his pocket and hooked it up to her phone, pressing some of the digits then placed the small device in his ear to listen.

You have one new voice mail from- received a month ago- "You will suffer until I decide to stop it all"

Text message: I'll find you, I'll find you, I'll find you, I'll find you, I'll find you, I'll find you.

Text message: I know where you are

Text message: I think it's cute how you play hide and seek

Text message: I want you more than ever

"Sakura….five of these text messages weren't sent from me, and the voice messages you been receiving, mostly all of them are not sent from me." Sasuke's eyes darkened as he looked over each text message carefully. Yes, some were sent by him, and some of them were intentionally sent to scare her a bit, but the others were not sent by him. That man knew where she was the entire time! Sasuke's fist roughly grasped the phone to the point where it was about to break. That man was already moving in, without taking another thought; he roughly threw the small device roughly against the wall shattering it completely.

"HEY" Sakura yelled, but was quickly silenced when Sasuke pulled her towards him. She was left breathless, and surprised at the sudden motion of affection that he was showing her. She gulped not knowing what to do, it's been for ever since he showed her the slightly bit of affection. It was this type of hug that made her feel as if she was on top of the world. However, as soon as the unexpected feelings for him came, her eyes widen in shock, her hands went up to his chest using every ounce of her strength to try to force him off of her. Her attempt failed when he embraced her tighter, he was hugging her as if she was about to be separated from him and never return.

"Sasuke let go." Sakura demanded, but Sasuke didn't budge.

"I will not let anything harm you." The only thing that could be heard was the loud gasp that left Sakura's mouth.

Sasuke will not let any danger come to you dear.

Outside with air slowly blowing, a few feet away from the huge palace, none knew of the standing figures watching amusingly with binoculars. Three cloaked figures remained in the shadows watching at a distance, one with a scowl on their face, the second with a sinister smirk, and the last one that stood in front of them all, let loose a loud creepy laugh. His golden eyes narrowing in their direction, scanning all over the house hold, oh what a joy-ish day indeed it was the cloaked man told him-self.

"So that's her huh? That's Sasuke's tramp? She doesn't look anything special." The cloaked figure on the left side spoke out. The tone was feminine, revealing the identity of being a female, but the appearance was still hidden behind the blinds of the hood. Said female bit her lower lip, the irritation that was given off told that she was merely jealous of what was taking place in that household.

"You are the one with the Tramp Stamp on your ass, Karin. I wouldn't be talking." Said the second, but before either one could continue conversing a hand from the one in front of them was raised. Instantly both cloaked figured immediately silenced themselves, freezing in their position, they both feared that they had did something to anger their leader in some way. Everyone that was associated with that man, feared his wrath, and feared being at the other end of it as well.

"She is the perfect candidate for my next experiment. I must have her." He turned around and looked over both of them, a smirk widen on his lips before he continued speaking. He already had a plan, and he was ready to commence it, his eyes narrowed with glittering amusement, the smirk sickening as it was widen, and the length of his tongue swept over his pale lips. It was a matter that everyone secretly found disgusting.

"You will gain access into that household. Gain the trust of everyone in that house, and when I give you a signal, you will allow my men to come in and take that girl. It will take some time, the young Uchiha is a sharp one, and he won't necessarily allow you to be alone with that girl. However, gain his trust as much as he can I know you won't fail me. After all you were the one who sneakily supplied me with all the information I needed on the girl. So this little task shouldn't be so hard for you now would it Hmmm?" The cloaked figure he had referred to kneeled down in complete submission, telling the leader that he or she would not fail in the new mission that was given. The smirk that the cloak figure didn't go amiss to the leader, as he to smirked in return.
