Sayuki felt dizzy. Everything seemed to be moving constantly even though she simply sat on a hard seat. Her mind was racing faster and she wanted to scream. She wanted to scream until her lungs popped and she couldn't scream no more. She wanted to beat on something. She wanted to kick and punch until her hands and feet bled. Anything at all. She didn't want to be here. She could hardly squirm. She had never felt so trapped before.

"Stop being so God damn annoying!" Karin's screech rang out loudly and clearly throughout the car. It wasn't directed at the struggling Sayuki though. Her struggle was more internal. To her far right was Gaara though. He made his struggle more visible. He wasn't even sitting as much as he was jumping with each thrashing movement. His anger was obvious not only his face, but his violent jerks. His cursing and shouting radiated towards the three captors in the car.

Sayuki sat back in defeat. If even Gaara couldn't manage to break free, then how could weak, spineless her do it by herself? She closed her eyes and sat. She focused on the struggle that banged against the seat. Karin jabbed her in her fight against the angry male. Eventually most of the movement stopped and she could hear grumbles. He was being held down. Her fear grew.

"Don't bother resisting..." Sayuki hadn't realized the car had stopped. The sickly voice was what brought her to the reality of her situation. She couldn't forget it. Only before it had been a confident flirtatious tone. Now it was just as slow and flirtatious, but with a thick layer of ice. Maybe it was her projecting it due to the fear. His face showed nothing but flirtation. It made her sick.

"Go fuck yourselves!" Gaara's voice roared angrily. It echoed. By now Sayuki was up on her shaking legs. It was dark, only lit by a dim naked bulb. It smelled of oil and musk. A garage. The tape she had worn, and unlike Gaara not been able to bite through, was ripped from her lips. Her mouth burned.

"Shut your trap already!" The cold voice rang, this time Sayuki could imagine the icicles from his words.

"Just take them in!" Karin's shriek voice replied to the aggravated twin looks she got from her two assistants.

"He's not exactly making it easy... if you think you could do better, then why don't you try?" The third voice fired back in annoyance. Karin scoffed. Then it went silent except for the struggle between the three boys. They stopped though when they all heard Karin speak.

"Sayuki..." The soft, yet dangerous purr came from Karin for a second time. Sayuki stood up straight, suddenly focused on everything. She instinctively felt the fear rush through her every vein and inside. Her body felt cold.

"Oh I get it..." Sayuki finally looked up as she heard his footsteps near her slowly. He wore a smug, plastic grin all across his face. The same one that had her frozen in fear during their first encounter. The one that told her to run like hell.

"Don't go near her any further, Sakon..." Gaara warned him in an even more dangerous voice than earlier. He continued to fight for his freedom against Sakon's doppelganger.

"You know... I always did think you were cute..." Sakon spoke slowly as he drank her in with his eyes. Sayuki choked on any words she had to plead with. She felt violated and naked in his vision. She hated it.

"Back off!" Gaara spoke aggressively. She could hear the ringing alarm in his voice begin to resound. She was beginning to feel numb.

"I should have made you mine earlier..." Sakon drawled on as Gaara began to once again furiously curse and slander them all. Ukon fought on by beating him. Sayuki's skin crawled. Every fibre in her body was screaming 'run'! She couldn't though. She was trapped like a mouse in a corner. Karin had an iron grip on her. If her whole body hasn't been numb, she was sure she would be cringing and crying out in pain.

"Stop...please..." Sayuki managed to squeak out the two words, her eyes as big as a doe's; her control slipping from her grasp. As his face neared hers she could smell his breath. It stunk of onions and fish. She could feel her stomach churning. Her vision began to blur and go colorless. She tried to blink but her focus was dwindling. His cold rough hand grabbed her and pulled her away from Karin's. She heard her bones snap from the sharp jerk. She couldn't resist as he pulled her to him.

"Don't touch her!" The alarm and shakiness in Gaara's voice entered his voice and overtook the threatening tone. Everything began to spin as his slimy, rough tongue traced the side of her face and he bit her ear sharply. The pain didn't bring her back though. She was numb and frozen as his thin lips moved to her statue like face. He smashed his lips against her, bruising them.

Her legs buckled and she dropped to the ground.

"SAYUKI!"

Another thump echoed throughout the room before she slipped into complete darkness and silence.

"Sayuki?" Sakura was confused. It had been Sayuki's name on her phone, but the frantic voice was obviously that of a young boy's.

"No. It's her brother. Have you seen Sayuki though?"

"She was here a while ago..." Sakura's heart beat began to race. "Why do you have her phone? She was carrying it and texting... I saw her."

"I found it." He paused and she heard a long sigh. "I'm sure it's nothing. It's just me overreacting from watching way too many movies. It's just when I saw it on the ground I-" The phone went dead. She looked at the phone in urgency. The screen was pitch black. She whipped it across at her light purple wall. It clattered and fell to her soft carpet.

Something had to have happened. Sayuki had promised her she would head straight home with Gaara. He would have taken her there. He must have. Her phone had been there, how else would her brother have found it? So why wasn't she there? Unless... Karin had done something.

She mentally beat herself up for not escorting Sayuki home herself. Maybe Gaara had even had a change of heart or been abducted beforehand. Maybe it was all a trick. Now Karin was probably with poor Sayuki who was like a deer in headlights. What if Karin had been outside Sakura's house and had gone into action as soon as she walked inside.

"I got call Gaara..." Sakura whispered in hopes she was just a paranoid freak. She rummaged through her dresser, throwing things each way in the frantic process. She finally held up a cord in her hand and ran to the nearest plug in. After connecting the cords she turned on her phone thanks to the new power source.

"Gaara!" Her voice shouted as the ringing stopped. The automatic voicemail rang through her ears as her smile drooped along with her stomach falling. She hung up her phone and stood. Without another thought, she ran out of her house.
