Chapter Seventeen: Her Nightmare Again

Sakura felt the truck stopping. She was beginning to really need to go to the bathroom, since she couldn't use that tin can. She was picked up and tossed on someone's back. Sakura felt dizzy and tired, and had no idea what was going on.

Then she was dropped in a room that smelled like a clean bathroom. Sakura's hands were untied, as were her eyes and her mouth. A gun was held to her face.

"No screams or yells. Got it?" the man holding the gun said.

Sakura nodded as she wondered why she was in the bathroom. The man understood her expression and stated," Take a shower, go pee, and then new clothes will be here."

With that said, the male walked out of the room and she heard the door locking. Her body was tired from sitting down too much, so she stood as she slowly took off her shirt and then her bra; next to come off were her skirt and her panties. Her socks and shoes were last, and she made her way towards the toilet naked to do her business first. She started the shower to see her bath products. She shivered at the thought that someone was in her house when she was at school; that was, until she opened them to see that they were new. She washed her hair and then her body.

She got out seeing someone had left some clothes and other supplies. She sighed at and wondered if she could run. Sakura didn't fight last time, but this time it would be different. She just hoped that Sasuke would save her…Sakura wondered where that thought came from. Sasuke was very patient with her with their dating and everything,

…..Sasuke….

She was in danger. He knew it, but now he was trying to find their friends. Sasuke closed his eyes, forcing his entire being to remain calm and not go rush off to help her, until he found out where their friends were.

He felt pickles of nervousness from Sakura; he could feel that Sakura was resolved in…something. That was when he felt Neji and Tenten walking into the house.

He flew down to them, scaring them. "No time, where are Shikamaru, Ino, Naruto, and Hinata?"

"They should be coming in…the door opens…now," Neji finished his sentence and the absent four appeared.

"Sakura has been taken. She and I were at the hospital visiting her mother. She went to the bathroom and then I heard her screaming in my head," Sasuke told them.

Ino gasped them started to cry onto Shikamaru's chest? Tenten paced back and forth, .cursing. Hinata fainted from the shock. Ino stopped crying, looked calmly at Sasuke and stated," It has to be Sai or one of his gang."

The rest of the boys were shocked to hear that he was still alive. "Ino?" Shikamaru asked unsurely.

"Sakura got a call just about two weeks ago from… Sai. The week beforehand, someone was in the house with Sakura and smashed the picture of her with Sasuke. And my mother confirmed with me that Sai is still alive, in hiding," Ino told them. "We didn't tell any of you."

"Ino, you should told us. Same with you, Hinata and Tenten," Naruto replied with a worried tone.

"We need to find Sakura now," Ino stated as she took out her cell phone and called her mother, informing her of what happened. Hinata and Tenten did the same thing for their families as they called.

After they were done, they saw the boys were nowhere to be found. They went to find them. When they did find the boys, they all saw them with their elements circling around them. Slowly, then faster, faster. Then fire was shot into the middle, showing with someone with pink hair.

"Sakura!" Ino yelled in fear. Then she went to have a closer look. She recognized the place that Sakura was being held. She stated firmly and calmly, "Sasuke, that's Lighting City."

…..Sakura….

Sakura pick up the clothing and looked at it with disgust and distaste. The clothing that she was given was revolting. The shirt looked like it was made for a hooker, the skirt….was that even a skirt?

"Girl! Get dressed," the man from before shouted outside of the bathroom.

"No, I'm not wearing this!" Sakura screamed back.

Sakura heard him sigh and he walked into the bathroom. She screeched loudly as she backed away from him.

"You have no choice in the matter, girl. Since you refused to put on the clothes, I will do it for you," he said, and then grabbed the shirt.

Sakura gasped at his words and did not notice that he was taking the clothing out of her hands until he grabbed her arm.

Sakura struggled. She punched the male in his face and then quickly went over to her towel. As she slipped on the towel again, she took off like a bat out of hell towards the door.

The guard jumped up and went after her. He grabbed her arm again and Sakura smirked. She raised her foot, made a connection with his face, and making him fall to the ground, completely knocked out. Sakura took the keys from him and opened the door to see no one around. She slipped out and locked the door again as she raced towards the sides of the halls, keeping herself away from any kind of bright lights.

She slowly made her way running down the hall after escaping the bathroom makes more sense than random doors after random doors, all opening into each other when she heard the same man's voice that she locked in the bathroom. She opened the nearest door and bolted away, weaving her way though boxes and crates. Sakura noticed that she was near the docks in lighting country. She rolled and ducked behind a crate when she heard voices coming her way.

She waited behind the crates., She heard the footsteps coming closer to her, and She smirked. She silently lifted herself onto the wooden crate. She glanced to the right and the left to see two of Sai's men on side. She jumped behind the two men and cleanly knocked them out with a punch and a kick. Leaving them behind, she rolled away.

"Saku...ra!"

She heard a voice calling her when she turned into the last area of craters. She hid herself and her emerald green eyes darted to the right and left, forward and up to see no one yet.

"Sakura come out," he said plaintively.

Not HIM. Sakura breathed in and out slowly. Sakura was looking around and wondered where HE was.

"Sakura, I just want to talk."

Is he insane? Like that is going to work. Sakura almost giggled at his words and her thoughts.

Nothing was heard for a long time. Sakura needed to get out of this place and fast. She knew that Sai never gave up and she also knew that he was waiting for her somewhere in the crates.

She had no moves to make against this area, meaning this area would be difficult for her to get out of and without getting caught. She wanted to sigh but didn't. She moved very slowly to the side of her crate as she looked around from the corner of her eye. She saw nothing around this area, and she slipped from the shelter of her crate went towards another one.

She made her way from crate to crate, always looking behind her. She moved again without realizing that someone was behind her, until she felt light breathing on her neck. She turned to see Sai with a patch over his eyes and a grin on his face.

"Sakura-chan," he said with an insane grin.

Sakura froze when she saw that he was still alive and her fear was coming back and She knew she could only move or fight against him until she found her true self again.

"Sakura-chan, you have been a naughty girl," Sai smirked. "You need to be punished."
