It's been a while but here's the 7th chapter, it is longer than the rest as someone said the chapters were short so I'm trying to make them longer.

Hope you enjoy it!

The tunnel

Perfect, just perfect the day after my dinner with Naruto and I'm ill, and I have to stay in my room for a week. It's a bit strange as I should be fine in a few days but no Kagome wants to take precaution and have me stay in and rest for a few more days after I get better. The others aren't even allowed to see me though Lexi half willingly have unwillingly let me have Ren for some company and we used her to pass messages back and forth. Poor Ren she doesn't know what she really is doing she just goes back and forth continuously.

Second day of being locked in my room all they did today was train and talk though some came and passed notes to me I even got some from Naruto asking if I was all right and he was trying to convince Kagome to let me have visitors. Although it's obvious that I can't have visitors so that the others don't get ill as well. Evil bitch why don't she get locked up in a room for a week with none of her friends allowed to see her. See how she likes it. Although it did give me some time to read my scrolls of medicine and various other things.

Third day I'm feel like I really need to go for a run I'm all stiff and cramped in my room, even though my room is spacious I need to be outside in the open air trying to beat anyone in training. I got a message from Ino though saying Shikamaru and Temari had dinner together who would have thought the laziest and most energetic would be together. It completely confuses me, but they do look sought of good together when I picture it.

Fourth day and I am about to go mad. I need to get out of this room even for a minute as I could jump out the window and walk down the castle wall. 'Why didn't I think of that before, grrr'. I walked over to my window hoping that it was open, grabbed the handle and opened it. 'I'm outta here, Cha' I stepped on the window sill and collected chakra to my feet and started to walk down the wall.

"Freedom" I yell. Stupid thing to do.

"Sakura get back to your room now" I hear from my window. I look up and see Kagome.

"Make me" I say and run off. I run for ages with unfortunately Kagome and a few servants chasing after me but with loads of unused energy I stay ahead of them. Then crash. I fall down the same hole me and Naruto fell down almost a week ago. Why hadn't they filled it up again. They drag back to the castle though and past all the others

"Did you try to escape your room?" Temari asked with smile the reached her ears on her face.

"Tried but failed" I reply making almost everyone laugh. "Save me please" making them laugh even more. Later that night I found out Gaara and Lexi had disappeared but were later found walking through the forest for a 'walk' who would've known. Someone who shows no emotions with someone whose emotions are known to everyone. You even can even tell when to stop talking by one look and when you've crossed the line like Sasuke learned the hard way.

Kagome decided that she could let me out 2 days early. Mainly because she didn't want the same thing that happened yesterday happening again. So when I walked into the dining room where everyone was sitting I got a little applause for the show yesterday. The day went by quickly much to my disappointment but then Lexi walked into the library with some news.

"Do any of you want to explore?" her grin gave away something big she had found.

"As long as it isn't boring" Temari stated.

"I found a secret passage way in my room. Want to see where it leads?" everyone was into it when they heard her say that even Gaara and Shikamaru poked their heads round the corner interested. Then as we all stood in Lexi's bedroom the boys obviously uncomfortable as she had just a few weapons in her room. 'A few she has loads she has enough that all of us could have 2 each'. She chucked a bucket of water of the fire in her fireplace and pushed a brick in the centre and the middle of the fire place opened when we looked inside you could stand inside it but we have to crawl to get in.

"Well are we going or what?" Naruto spoke. Lexi crawled through first and we each followed one by one. As soon as Sasuke got through the door closed and we were in total darkness.

"I don't suppose any one brought a torch did they" came a voice. Then there was light.

"How unprepared do you think I am?" Lexi said.

We walked for what seemed like an hour till the walkway became wider and there was a dead end.

"You have got to be kidding me" Temari said. I stepped forward and started to touch the wall in different places.

"Sakura what are you doing?" Ino said.

"Places like this always have a secret button somewhere" I stated "just like how we got in there has to be another".

"You are absolutely crazy Sakura how co..."

"Click" I had found the button and the walls started to slide apart I turned to Ino giving her a 'I told you so' look.

"Don't give me that look billboard brow" I just laughed. We continued to walk down until we came to a door that looked like it hadn't been opened in a while. It was all dusty and it had a key hole perfect.

"Who wants to kick the door open" Shikamaru said.

"I do" Naruto replied and with one kick the door was opened. It was just a room with loads of pictures. We all looked at the different pictures until I recognised one to be my brother, Akiko and Shizune.

"Hey guys. This might be some sought of memory room" I say.

"What makes you think that?" Temari said.

"This is a photo of my brother, when my parents sent him here for a match making." I said. I was then swarmed by the others wanting to have a look at the picture. "Um guys where's Sasuke and Ino and Lexi" since there was a light already on in the room we didn't notice that there was no light from a torch. There was no other way out of the room but somehow they just disappeared. I walked over to where I last saw them standing when the floor gave way and I was sliding down a tunnel.

When I finally saw light I landed in water, and it started to carry me along. Wait carrying me along? Where did this lead to? As the water got choppy and the current faster dread seized me. Then I saw what was the last thing I wanted to see a waterfall and I was going straight to it.

"Sakura grab this" I turn my head to where the sound came from and I see a rope coming towards me. I grab hold and I am then being dragged over to the wall where I see Ino, Lexi and Sasuke standing.

When I was safe on solid ground I asked "Can someone explain why there is a waterfall underneath a castle? Let alone underground"

"Do you think you're the only one who wants to know?" Sasuke said.

Lexi started to shake her head "I don't think that knowing what this place is right now is not so important. What is important is how the hell are we going to get out of here and back to the castle." we all stared at each other now getting a little worried how we will get back to the others but another thing I was thinking was that Kagome had a lot of explaining to do when we did.
