Back with another chapter!

First of all I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Little-bad-Angel and Reignashii for reviewing. I was smiling like an idiot when I read those reviews xD

Thank you so much once again….

I don't really have anything else to say so,

ENJOY

Kakashi and Sai were out of breath. They managed to get rid of the boy but not without sustaining some serious injuries. "We have to find Sakura" the older man stood up still panting slightly. He moved towards the direction they saw Kishame pushing Sakura followed by the young root member. He followed the traces they left while fighting until he reached a small clearing with a crater in the middle, obviously created by Sakura.

They looked around but sound nothing. Kakashi decided that summoning his dogs would be the best choice. Taking a kunai out he made a small cut on his thumb and completed the necessary handsigns. He slummed his hand in the ground calling "Kuchiyose no jutsu" and a pack of dogs made its appearance with a loud 'POOF' "Kakashi" "Yo! Everyone I want you to search for Sakura, we were separated during a fight and she is missing" The dogs immediately got to work their expert noses sniffed the ground for signals that no human –save maybe those from the Inuzuka clan- could decipher.

Pakkun turned to Kakashi and Sai who were patiently waiting. "We found her scent, she was fighting a guy from Akatsuki, wasn't she?" the said man nodded "The man's scent continues West, he was heavily wounded" the blood staining the ground confirmed that. "Sakura isn't with him her scent goes the opposite direction" "Then she is ok? We need to find her." "There is more" Pakkun interrupted Sai "Kakashi, we located another chakra signature, it belongs to Sasuke" Kakashi's lone visible eye widen at the mention of his student's name. What was he doing here? Was Sakura with him? Could he have killed her? No, Sasuke hadn't sunk that deep into the darkness, he wouldn't kill her, then again you never know…

"Should we go after them?"Sai question broke his train of thought "No, we can't like that. We need to return to the village and get some backup. Pakkun I want you to follow them, don't get too close just follow them without them noticing" and with that the ninken scattered in the forest. "Let's go!"

If this had to do with Sasuke then they definitely needed to get Naruto, that boy was the only one who could beat reason into the avenger's thick skull. Although Kakashi secretly hoped that Sakura could get through to him.

SAKURA'S POV

I felt myself coming out of a heavy slumber, but as my eyes opened I was met with something I didn't expect. Instead of the pale green walls of my room the first thing I noticed were the rough stone walls of a cave 'Oh crap, the cave, SASUKE' I shot up immediately 'ok I remember treating a man, umm Juno, no Jugo. When did I fall asleep'

"Good morning!" I almost jumped but luckily I was able to refrain myself from doing so. I turned around only to find Suigetsu grinning ay me "Good morning" as said inwardly sighing. I moved to where I could see my stuff and begun packing.

"What are you doing?" Oh great just the man I wanted to see, Sasuke "I need to get going my team is probably worrying sick by now, Jugo's life is no longer on danger, he should be coming to anytime now" "You won't go" "What? Why?" "You will be our medic."

Silence…..

"Excuse me?" That came out louder than I expected but he didn't even flinch. "I won't repeat myself""But you said I was free to go…" a smirk made its way to his lips 'oh those lips-' 'no, not you, stay out' 'concentrate!' "I never said that, you just assumed I did
" ' WHAT?' "Sasuke…." I said in a low voice, raising my fist which was coated with a thick layer of chakra, visible to the naked eye. He turned around obviously not the least bit worried. "As soon as Jugo awakes we will be on the move."

SASUKE'S POV

"As soon as Jugo awakes we will be on the move" I turned around ignoring Sakura's threat 'Hn, as if she could be a threat'. She couldn't hope to do any damage with a glowing fist, even if she could land a hit' I took off into the trees to meditate. I closed my eyes in concentration. 'We need to travel south for four days to meet Madara. After we complete the mission that bastard has for us I can set the plan to destroy Konoha in motion' I sighed ' Nii-san…'

NORMAL POV

Sakura was sitting cross-legged on the floor with her hands supporting her head. She was brainstorming, she needed a plan to escape and she needed it now. Taking them out was out of the question. She needed to gather more information first. She found out Suigetsu was a water user, when Karin punched him earlier before leaving the cave he turned into a puddle of water, that meant her fighting style was almost useless against him. However she could use exploding tags to dehydrate him.

She knew nothing about the girl of the group but she seemed easy to take out, a punch should do it. The real problem was the man in front of her, after all she knew firsthand how dangerous a curse seal could be. Last but not least there was Sasuke, She knew she stood no chance against him, she had to outsmart him, but how?

(lightbulb!) He has never seen her fighting and he is way too arrogant to expect her to be able to take him out. So if she could take advantage of this facts she had a chance to escape, all she needed to do was catch him of guard 'piece of cake' her inner echoed, sarcasm dripping of each word. She knew she could never kill him but maybe, just maybe she could injure him enough for him to not be able to come after her. She sighed yet again in order for her plan to have a chance of working she had to play weak, to them she was one of the best medics in the shinobi world but still not much of a fighter.

A moan snapped her out of her thoughts, Jugo was awaking. His eyes fluttered open they were dark orange, almost red and held a certain gentleness to them, Sakura noted. He stood up slowly but surely "What happened?" "Yo, about time, you were poisoned and unconscious for the past couple of days" Suigetsu grinned "That girl over there removed the poison and healed you" Jugo's eyes rested on the pinkette, he move and stood- more like towered- in front her extending his hand "I'm Jugo, thank you"

She couldn't explain it, maybe it was his aura, maybe it was his gentle smile and innocent eyes but Sakura found herself attracted to this man, not in a romantic way like in Sasuke's case, but she somehow knew he was a good man, someone she could turn to. She couldn't prevent a smile that broke into her face "Haruno Sakura, yoroshiku (=nice to meet you)"

The scene interrupted Karin who walked in carrying some food and other supplies. "Jugo, good you are up, we will be leaving soon"she threw Sakura a side glance. "I will go and fetch Sasuke"and with that she turned and took off into the forest, inwardly grinning like na idiot that she could spent some time alone with her Sasuke-kun. "Do you think that was a good idea Sasuke is going to be pissed" Jugo asked after a while "It would take us more time to find him…" Suigetsu shrugged then he gathered some branches, obviously to light a fire. He paused his actions "Anyone here can do a Katon?" Sakura just had to smile at that, it reminded her so of a certain loud-mouthed ninja.

….…:::::::::::::!:::::::::::…

They had already managed to light the fire before Karin and Sasuke decided to join them, the latter looking ready to kill someone. They ate in silence, all except Sakura who just sat as far away from the group as possible nibbling at her fish. "You should eat a little Sakura-san, we have a long travel ahead of us" the gentle voice of Jugo broke the silence "No need to worry Jugo-san" and to prove her point she took a big bite 'he is right I will need the energy'

After they were done they got ready to leave. "Let's go" at that command the five shinobi jumped forward, their forms disappearing into the deep forest.

Hope you liked it, next chapter coming up as usual; next Saturday
