"...please stay."

"...if you go."

"...thank you."

Sakura slowly open her eyes, she was greeted by sunlight. She closes it and rub then oepn it again.

"Your awake." Sakura turn her gaze at the source of the voice. It's the man who carries her, Juugo.

"Uhm... sorry, I fell asleep"-she said.

"It's okay."-he said.

"Where are we?"-Sakura ask and roamed her eyes. It's a small room, she thought, maybe they rent some in a nearby village.

"In a small village near rain country"-Juugo said. She search for the others but failed to find them.

"Where are the others?"-She asked again.

"They have things to do, they will get back before dawn"-he said. Sakura look at the muscular man, he is sitting on the floor near the door.

"Your name is Juugo right?"-She ask. Juugo nodded.

"Well, Mister Juugo, can I ask if I can take a walk on the town?"-she said. Juugo look at her and shook his head.

"Huh? but why? I promise that I won't take long, please, Mister Juugo"-she said. Juugo stare at her.

"Can you drop the 'Mister' in my name?it doesn't fit"-he said.

"But, your a nice man, and it's a sign of respect for a nice man to call him Mister, Tsukame said that a man will be happy if you call them Mister."-Sakura said. Juugo shook his head.

"Not all person are fond of that address. It sometimes irritates them."-he said. Sakura tilt her head and look at him.

"Okay, then I'll call you Juugo-san"-she said.

"Much better"-he said.

"Juugo-san, can I go outside?"-she ask.

"No"-he answered.

"But why?"

"Sasuke said"-he said and close his eyes.

"Eh? but why? It's not that I will run away!"-Sakura said, she receive no answer. A minute of silence.

"Juugo-san.. can I ask you a question?"-Sakura ask. Juugo open his eyes and nodded.

"Well, what is a kunoichi?"-Sakura ask. Juugo look at her.

"Why?"-He ask.

"Because the nice man in the small village here I come from said that a kunoichi is term for a slave girl, and if some bad person finds her wondering the town alone, they might hurt her. It's good thing that Mister Sasuke finds me"-she said.

"Eh?"-Juugo said.

"Uhuh, He said that I should stick with him for me to be safe, the man is really nice, he even buy me this beautiful kimono"-Sakura said and rose from the bed and spin around to show her kimono. "...and buys me lots of food"-she added.

"It's not the meaning of kunoichi"-Juugo said. Sakura look at him and tilt her head slightly.

"Huh? The nice man won't lie to me"-She said.

"Unfortunately, he does, a kunoichi is a term for a female ninja"-he said.

"Eh? Female ninja?"-She said. Juugo nodded. Then a minute of silence. Juugo was about to close his eyes again, expecting that was the end of conversation when Sakura spoke again.

"Juugo-san, what is a ninja anyways?"

And that proves him wrong.

Naruto and his team arrive in the small village near the forest where they came.

"We should separate of searching, Naruto, you'll be at the market, Sai, the plaza and I will take the houses."-Shikamaru said. They all nodded and walk towards their designated place.

Naruto was walking on the market, roaming his eyes in every corner of the place, hoping that he will spot some pink, but he fails.

"Sakura-chan, where are you?"-he whisper to himself.

"That man is a demon"

"What did you do?"

"Of course, I leave immediately, he will kill me in an instant!"

"But how about the money? And the pink hair woman?" Naruto stop on walking when he heard what the man said.

"Of course, I left them both, I treasure my life more!"

"But, who did you think that man is?"

"I don't know and I don't care, all I know is, as long as I'm far from him, I a safe. Besides, I think that he is a shinobi"

"A shinobi?, well, good thing you left, maybe he is with that pink kunoichi"

"yeah... yeah.. let's not talk about them anymore, it makes me feel shit!" the man said and drink his sake. He feel goosebumps in his body and notice a man standing at his back, he slowly turn his head and found a tall, blonde man seriously looking at him.

"W-Who are you?"-the man said nervously. Naruto glared at him.

"W-what do you want?"-the man ask.

"You."-Naruto simply said.

"Me? I-I don't have anything to do with you!"-the man said.

"You have many things to tell me. Now. stand there and follow me"-Naruto said.

"H-How dare you order me! I will not go with you!"-the man shouted.

"You will stand there and follow me? or I will make you. I-N-A-H-A-R-D-W-A-Y"-Naruto said and give the man the infamous Naruto glare that tells "obey or see hell". The man swallow hard, stand from his seat and follow Naruto.

"...and that is all that we talked about.."-Sakura said and notice that Juugo is just looking at her.

"Hey, Juugo-san, are you still listening?"-Sakura ask waving her hands in front of Juugo. Juugo blink and nodded. Their moment is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Suigetsu and Karin.

"Hey! I guess that you two are having a talk bonding huh"-Suigetsu said. Karin just look at Juugo and glare at Sakura then walk towards the bed.

"Well, I'm just telling Juugo-san some stories when I travel with Tsukame and Takoru."-Sakura said.

"Oh..Juugo-san? Is it Juugo not nice? You're not calling him Mister Juugo?"-Suigetsu said and smirk looking at Juugo. Funny it is that Suigetsu wants to see Juugo's face when Sakura calls him 'Mister Juugo'.

"No! Juugo-san is a nice man, but he doesn't like that one. He said that not all person at fond of hearing that."-Sakura said. Suigetsu just nodded and he saw Juugo smirk at him. 'hmp.. bastard'.

"Where have you been?"-Sakura ask.

"Some business to attend"-Suigetsu said, walks towards Juugo and sit beside him.

"Are you all business man?"-Sakura said. Suigetsu raise is eyebrow.

"Sakura.. Sakura.. if a person tells you that term, it doesn't mean it's a business."-Suigetsu said. Sakura nodded.

"So, what it is?"-Sakura ask.

"tsk... tsk.. you have many questions, sadly, i can't answer that."-Suigetsu said.

"Where is Mister Sasuke?"-Sakura ask.

"Dunno.. but he will be here later"-Suigetsu said.

"If he comes back, Can I go out the town?"-Sakura said. Suigetsu look at her.

"I can't answer that, but Sasuke will"-Suigetsu said.

"Why? Is Sasuke the leader?"-Sakura ask.

"Sakura, how many questions you have in your body?"-Suigetsu said. Juugo shook his head and look at Suigetsu.

'I agree to it, I suffered from it earlier' he said to himself.

"Yeah, because I don't know many things"-Sakura said.

"Aa. Not all questions in your head will be answered by someone, sometimes, you must find it on your own to know if it is true"-Suigetsu. Sakura just nodded. The door open again and Sasuke enters the room.

"Oh! Welcome back Mister Sasuke!"-Sakura cheerily said and Sasuke's brows knitted. Suigetsu look at Sasuke and laugh.

"Hn."-Sasuke walk straight inside and settle himself at the bed near the window.

"Mister Sasuke, can I walk around the town?"-Sakura said. Sasuke look at her.

"No"-Sasuke said.

"But, why?"-Sakura ask.

"Your attract trouble too much"-Sasuke said.

"I-No! I promise to behave and come back early"-Sakura said.

"No. Your to stupid to wonder on town"-Sasuke said.

"But I want to go out."-Sakura said.

"Why?"-Sasuke ask.

"I-I just want to find out who I really was"-Sakura said.

"Still no"-Sasuke said. Sakura bow her head and press her lips together.

"Don't worry Sasuke, I'll accompany her!"-Suigetsu said. Sasuke look at him.

"Do what you want"-Sasuke said and close his eyes. Sakura raise her head and her eyes brighten.

"Thank you Mister Sasuke!"-she said and run towards the door followed by Suigetsu.

"What information you gathered?"-Shikamaru ask the two.

"I found some refugees from the village that is destroyed, I've talked to some of them and find that a certain couple accompany and pink hair woman named Sakura to travel here, when they arrive, Sakura bids goodbye to them, they hesitate to let her wonder alone because she didn't even know where she will go, but let her because she assure that she will be okay she said she wants to find her own village on her own."-Sai said. Shikamaru nodded. He look at Naruto who is quite at the whole time.

"Naruto?"-Shikamaru said. Naruto look at him.

"Sasuke have her"-He simply said. Shikamaru's eyes widen.

"W-what? How could that be? That's impossible."-He said.

"I found a man who plan on selling Sakura to a syndicate. He said that a tall man with dark hair approach him and demands to hand him Sakura, he even offer a money to him."-Naruto said.

"How can you be so sure that it's Sasuke?"-Sai ask.

"When he didn't accept the money and throws it to him, he was shock that the man's eyes are crimson red, spinning. And I am sure that is Sasuke's Sharingan"-Naruto said.

"That's one of the possibility"-Shikamaru said, thinking. Naruto and Sai look at him questioning. He looks at Naruto.

"Remember Naruto, Sasuke is not the only one with Sharingan.. the can also be..."-Shikamaru said.

"Itachi. Uchiha Itachi."-Sai said. Naruto's body shakes.. with fear, not for himself, but for his friend Sakura. That can't be. He will choose that she is with Sasuke than with the hands of the psycho man.

"We need to gather more information. Wether she is with Sasuke or Itachi, we need to find her immediately. I suspect that the genjutsu that they give her is not just to forget everything."-Shikamaru said. Naruto look at him confuse.

"I remember once, when my father tells me about a certain ancient genjutsu that can erase a certain memory on the users choice. This genjutsu also can see the memory of its victim, for them to choose what memory they will erase."-Shikamaru said and pause.

"Unlike other memory erasing genjutsu, this one has a permanent effect on the victim, it will erase the memories permanently, or worst, it will cause the victim to loose her ability forever if the genjutsu will not be remove immediately"-he added.

"Then we should find her immediately!"-Naruto said. Shikamaru nodded. Naruto again walk towards the market to find another information. As Sai was about to go, he notice that Shikamaru is bothered by something.

"Is there a problem?"-Sai ask. Shikamaru look at him. He hesitate to tell him the last part of the ancient jutsu, he knows that Sai is trained from ROOT, they are trained to be emotionless, but he also knows that he form a strong bond with Naruto and Sakura, and he can see that he will do everything to protect them, he knows that this will affect Sai.

"The jutsu."-Shikamaru said.

"What about it"-Sai ask.

"If it's too late.. the victim... will die"-Shikamaru said, Sai didn't show any emotions on his face. Sai turn his back at Shikamaru and spoke before he goes.

"That won't happen. I won't let that."-He said before he disappear.

'Hold on hag, we will find you'

Shikamru left alone, he shook his head.

"As if I will let that happen, we won't fail here."-He said and disappear.

Sakura's eyes brighten at the site of the small village, especially hen she saw the market, it is small yet, you can find many things, like colorful dresses, jewelries, equipment, foods, fishes, vegetables, fruits, snacks. They even sell different colors of dango! She is fond of that foods since the first time she saw it. Maybe she really have a sweet tooth. They both buy a stick of sweet dango!

"Look at it Suigetsu! What is that?"-Sakura ask the silver hair man, he look at it and grin.

"That is called lantern"-He said. He is amaze by the woman's ignorance about everything. He can't even tell if it's innocence or ignorance sometimes.

"Oh! it's beautiful.."-Sakura said and walk towards the lanterns, something about it attracts her, then, all went black, then there are voices and flash of images that she see.

"...he saw this one.."

"... find it and come back..."

"...lead me to you..."

"...-kun...I miss you.."

A sad voice. She felt empty. cold. Then she feels weak and before she stop her body, it slowly falls on the ground and close her eyes.

Suigetsu's eyes widen at the sight, Sakura is lying in the ground unconscious.

"What the f*ck!"-he said and run towards the woman.
