However long the night, the dawn will break.

The rising sun came up from its spot as the ninjas of Konohagakure were packing up getting ready to leave. This would be their last day camping and in a few hours they would reach the Sunagakure gates. Everyone had horrible sleep last night because all were either training or way deep in thought of the battle that would surely come. Neji has suggested to walk from now on to conserve their energy because they were going to need it. The seven got into their rightful spots in the ninja line and everyone headed out.

"Keep your gaurd up.I don't want anyone hurt so early." said Shikamaru scouting the area, "Everyone has their microphone. Correct?"

"Yes." everyone choursed.

Your heart breaks into million pieces, you regret at ever chance you had to make things right, ever night you lay motionlessly staring at the top of your celling wall thinking why didn't I do something before tonight? Then you wake up the next morning with a brand new chance to do it again, take it and tell them how you feel before its too late.

After hours of sweaty walking in the desert they finally reached the sphere shaped village of Sunagakure and they were all welcomed immediately.

"Kazegake-san. We are almost certain that Uchiha Sasuke is hidden here in this village with Uzamaki Naruto as hostage," explained Shikamaru who placed a scroll down on Gaara's desk. "We were assigned to search and hunt him down. Every single one of us have intentions of bringing Naruto back and taking Sasuke down."

"I see," mused Gaara placing down the scroll with care. "Kankuro!"

"Hai?" a man with painted purple stripes across his face poked his face out the door.

"I would like for you to show our guests to the extra rooms we have. Make sure they feel like home." he ordered. Gaara then turend his red hair towards the seven Konoha ninjas once again, "Follow Kunkuro and he'll take you to your rooms. Good luck with your mission. Don't destroy my village to much."

It's sad when the people you know Became people you knew. When you can walk right past someone. Like they were never a big part of your life. How you used to be able to talk for hours And now you can barely even look at them.

Sakura was unpacking her things, she was going to share a room with Hinata and Tenten because Ino was constantly saying that she needed her 'closet space.' It was a surprise how much clothes she could fit in those bags she carried. "When do you think we should head out?" asked Sakura flopping her exhausted body on her plain bed.

"Don't know, but don't you think we should tell Shikamaru about this? What if we need backup?" asked Tenten worriedly.

"Tenten-chan has a point Sakura-chan, if we do need back up then how do we get word out to them?" Hinata considered.

"No way! We are doing this on our own. We have each others backs. Besides if we told them they won't even let us go into that bar, this plan is bulletproof. A little trust please."

"Now how come everytime you tend to say that, something always goes wrong? No one is gonna cover us when we're gone. Anyway, I'm sure Ino will snitch on us the second we tell her. How about I cover for us while you guys drag Ino out to do the bar job?"

"That's not very logical," explained Hinata, "It'll be awfully quite to take Ino. Our cover will be blown the instant we leave our room. Plus, you are the weapons specialist."

"So, Tenten. You in or not?" asked Sakura smirking. She smiled as she saw from the corner of her jade eyes that Tenten gave an annoyed groaned. "I'll take that as a yes. We'll leave after dinner."

Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly, We ought to be together, you and I.

The three kunoichi stood together side by side examinating themselves. Sakura was wearing her little pink kimono that showed plenty of clevege and skin. The Hyuuga was wearing something more suitable but not that much better. It was longer than Sakura's but it still showed clevege. The color was a dark green and it had one long slit on the side while Sakura's just cut through the middle. Since Tenten refused to wear a kimono she wore some short shorts with a halter top that had a large intersection on her chest area.

All their hair was up with chopsticks hanging out. Their weapons were hidden throughout their body just in case. Their secret mission was to find information of the whereabouts of Sasuke and Naruto themselves. As they entered the club in the downtown part of the village the smell of alcohol hit their faces like a ton of bricks.

"It reeks!" siliently complained Tenten.

"Deal with it." whispered Sakura instantly strutting over to the counter where the bartender stood behind it serving drinks to muliple people. A man was sitting there alone. Minding his own business while taking deep gulps of his drink. Sakura sat down next to him and smiled up at the bartender, "Give me the strongest thing you got."

"You sure, pretty lady? I don't think you could handle it."

Smirking, Sakura pushed herself up towards the man resulting for her clevege to show more then usual, "Try me." she whispered seductively. The man who was next to her stared blankly at her, "What? Never saw a woman drink before?" When her drink arrived Sakura took it down like a shot and licked her lips.

The man's eyes gleamed with interest, "Not one like you. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"

Flirting is the art of keeping intimacy at a safe distance.

Tenten swayed herself to the stage where drunken men cheered on the strippers. Tenten thought that it was a better and safer idea to find a drunk man who wasn't in his right mind to trick the information she wanted out of him then having to pull out the sex card. Spotting a man on the far right he was staring longingly at the tiny dancers up on the stage with pure lust. Slightly disgusted she walked behind him and slowly slid herself on her lap. She was so close to slapping him silly when his filthy hands ran up and down her thighs.

Remembering why she was in this situation in the first palce, she place a flirtatious smile and grinding against him unwillingly, "Hi there, stranger."

"What are you doing in a place like this?" he drunkingly asked. They always asked the same question, why they were here, and all that. It happened so often that every kunoichi ninja knew how to respond.

"I'm lost. I'm searching for someone." she whimpered, "He's tall, red eyes, mysterious, spiked up hair. Seen him? If you're able to help me, then maybe," she leaned forward and nibbled on his ear. Tenten was about to throw up right that second, "You'll just recieve an award.. if you know what I mean."

The man beneath her moaned as she inwardly gagged, "I believe I've seen him before. He was hear a few hours ago with a blond boy on his back." Tenten started chewing on his neck and asked if he knew anything else, "That's all I know but I think that fellow over there with that beautiful pink haired girl works with him, I remember seeing them togehter."

"You've been a big help." said Tenten. Lowering her head down, she secretly pushed down on his pressure point. Looking around she spotted Hinata doing well because it was obvious that the man she was with was eating out of the palm of her hands. The thing Tenten worried about the most was Sakura.

-

-

I felt ashamed for what I had done. I don't have any excuses. I did what I did. I take full responsibility for myself and my actions. I wouldn't pawn this off on anybody. I'm sorry it happened. And I hurt people.

"You have really pretty hair, you know? It's so silvery, but it isn't old silvery. It's sexy." said Sakura drunkily. Truth was that Sakura was nothing near drunk, she was sober. Although if she didn't act drunk the man with the sharp teeth and grey hair will surely suspect something. The man she was with had sharp shark like teeth. A bit strange.

Suddenly, his face became so serious and so frightening that Sakura almost screamed. His eyes burned into hers that she slowly but quickly moved back away from him. "I know you're a ninja. In fact you're the most elite ninja of Konoha, next to Uzamaki Naruto of course. You guys are the best of friends, as I heard. Until your team mate, Uchiha Sasuke left the village."

Sakura was by far shocked. How can her cover be blown so fast? She made sure that she played all the right cards at the right time. It was impossible, "How did you know about Uchiha Sasuke?"

He chucked, "Princess, I work with him."

Fuck. Quickly running to the dance floor she spoke into her miniature microphone, "Tenten, Hinata! Our cover is blown we've got to get out of here!"

Hoping to hear one of their voices instead she heard a deep, sinister one. One she had heard many times before when she was younger, "Sakura.. we have Sagao and Hyuuga here. Don't try running away because we have every single exit blocked."

"Sasuke," she whispered, "Where are they?!"

"You'll find out soon, walk back towards the man you were with before."

Double fuck.

Sorry it was so short but I wanted to update before Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone! Sorry have to go! The food is all set up and I'm starving! Once again! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
