Gaara awoke the next morning in his cell. He felt ashamed of what he had done, Gaara didn't want to do terrible things to Sakura, he didn't want to mess with Shikamaru, he really just wanted peace and solitude. Shikaku was not going to let that happen though, because Shikaku ruled him, he didn't get to make his own choices.

Although he did believe Sakura was beautiful, he was taken with her delicate features and wild eyes. The beast inside of him was more taken with it though, the beast wanted to squelch that wildness, he wanted her meek and HIS.

Gaara sighed. His body wasn't his own, its always been this way. No point in worrying about it. At least he got to peg such a pretty little thing. Life goes on.

Shikamaru had not slept, he sat on his bed with his fingers together in a circle. He was thinking deeply. Thinking about escape routes. Until that night, he really hadn't considered leaving the place that caged him. He didn't have to do anything here but sleep and eat. It was fine with him, he really just wanted to sleep. His body always felt so tired, and nothing ever really seemed to light him inside. Everything was dull and not worth the time awake, outside of this place and in, so what was the point of escaping. Shikamaru occasionally played with the idea of escaping, someone with his brain could easily come up with an escape plan. He knew what he had to do.

Hinata sat in the large open bath they're bathroom had. Every morning she soaked herself, she felt the heat all the way to her bones. She fingered oil into her hair, washing it in the water and making it shines. She would go wake up Naruto after, as she did every morning after her bath. Naruto liked to sleep in but Hinata was always awake even before the cells were opened. She waited as one by one the guards unlocked every door. Releasing the dogs.

Sakura inched into the hot water of the bath, her body was so sore and she couldn't understand why. Hinata greeted her with a gentle smile, and continued on with her hair. Sakura had water up to her chin, she let it soothe her aching body. Sakura was well aware of the bruises all over her body, but didn't know how they had gotten there. Something strange was going on here, she contemplated the idea that maybe a guard had an eye on her and did something, but she couldn't get past the blurred memory she had of the padded room and empty turquoise eyes. It only emphasized her original goal to get the fuck out of this freak show.

But Sakura hadn't been here long enough to really know the ins and outs, she would need more time here to figure out a plan. But she could feel a buzzing under her skin, she couldn't be trapped like this. 2 nights and a day in a cage was already making her anxious to get out. She needed to use someone who knows the place, Sakura concluded. That was much easier than waiting it out until she understands.

She needed someone clever, someone who won't get on her nerves. She rolled her eyes at herself, Everyone gets on her nerves.

There was some real intelligence behind that lazy expression of the boy she kissed in the pathetic excuse for a "library". But was he destructive enough? The turquoise eyed boy might be more useful, "maybe," she thought "I can use them all"

Hinata planted a kiss on Naruto's cheek and gently woke him up. He put his arms out and grabbed her pulling her into his cot. He nuzzled her neck, keeping his face in her slightly damp hair. She giggled.

Hinata never wants to leave the asylum. She felt safe here, safer than she used to be. She used to live in so much fear, but now here she was with some of the most dangerous mentally ill people in the nations, and she felt so SAFE. And this is where she met Naruto, this is where their love exists. Hinata is happiest as a caged bird, she doesn't want freedom. Hinata has her safety and she has Naruto, she couldn't be happier.

She held him tight, putting her hand through his hair. "I love you" she whispered.

Neji felt something, underneath the normalcy, there was an upset. The new girl coming had upset something in the asylum, he felt as though something big was coming. Something was going to change. He physically shook his head trying to get rid of thoughts inside it. But the feeling inside remained. He prayed that this time he will again be able to protect his precious little sister. All those years he watched as she was mistreated. He didn't know what to do, because it was the clan. The clan could do whatever they want with one of their own. So Neji destroyed the clan, and Hinata was saved. But now they are both trapped here, and compared to what they had before this was heaven, he knew that was the case even more so for Hinata.

"I will protect your peace" he spoke aloud, just loud enough for him to hear it, but no one else.

Sakura stood in the opening of Shikamaru's cell. The walls inside were barren, unlike Sai who had almost covered every piece of blank space in drawings taped neatly parallel to each other. Sakura entered into the darkness of his cell, she could just barely see his form sitting on his cot, criss cross, seemingly deep in thought. She slowly put her lips to his and kissed him gently. He opened his eyes and smiled shyly.

"Hey Sakura" she pulled his chin to face her

"Whatcha thinking about" he could smell the cleanness of her skin and hair, he could feel the softness of her hand as she touched him.

"It doesn't matter" he mumbled, kissing her again, pulling her as close as he could.

Shikamaru was a depressive, he didn't get enjoyment from life like most people did. But at that moment, connected with this beautiful girl he felt his will to fight come back. He felt his blood turn to fire inside of him with his need to save her, and save himself. He put his hand through her soft hair and he could feel a future together.

Sakura felt herself dropping into something, she could feel the love that Shikamaru's body was screaming and it scared her. She remembered when her body was burning with love, how it tore her apart.

She broke her kiss, looked into his eyes in the darkened room.

"Can I trust you" she whispered just centimeters from his lips.

Shikamaru pulled her into the bed, pinning her under him.

"I haven't felt anything in so long…" he mumbled into her ear, kissing it after. "I want to protect this feeling, I want to protect you"

"You're not the first one to say that too me."

"I'll give you whatever you want" Sakura could feel the largeness of his crotch against her. She wondered if his words were only those of lust, but she wanted to believe him. She grabbed a hold of his neck and pulled him into another long kiss, grinding herself into him.

"Do you love me" she whispered

"Since the moment I saw you"

"But you didn't know who I am, you still don't know who I am"

He smiled at her. "Everyone here has done something terrible Sakura, you don't have to be ashamed of it I accept you."

She nodded. "Show me who you are" she bit his ear and then kissed him again, pulling off her shirt. Sakura wasn't wearing a bra, Shikamaru sucked and kissed her nipples, pressing himself into her with more need than before. Sakura pushed right back.

She began removing his blue sweat pants, and then off with his plain white boxers. She looked at his long cock and licked her lips before kissing the head and popping it into her mouth.

"Fuck…" Shikamaru moaned under his breath. She liked the sound of him. She brought her mouth further down his cock. She heard his muffled moans. She grinned up at him.

"Let it out, love, I wanna hear you" She couldn't see his vivid blush in the darkness.

She brought her head back and forth taking as much of his long shaft into her throat as she could without gagging.

Shikamaru could feel himself getting ready to blow, but he didn't want that quite yet so he picked up Sakura and placed her on the couch, drool was dripping down her chin. He smashed his mouth into hers and kissed her while he removed her pants. She wasn't wearing panties either he found. He put himself inside of her without breaking their kiss and he could feel the little moan she let out against his mouth. He started pumping her hard and fast, he wanted to go slow but she felt so good he couldn't hold back. He moaned into her neck and she arched herself against him. The sound of Sakura's moans were sending stars into his brain and he couldn't think. He thrust his load into her, pumping three last heavy thrusts into her before collapsing next to her.

She turned and looked at him. "Are you trying to impregnate me?" she asked him, brows furrowed. He laughed, then became more serious looking at her worried face.

"Birth control is one of the pills they force feed you" he shrugged.

"They know we fuck, but nobodies gonna raise a kid in this hell hole"

Sakura nodded, and then grinned. She pulled him into her arms hugging him close.

"I feel tired" she mumbled, closing her eyes and nuzzling into his chest. He slowly put his fingers through her hair until she fell asleep right there. In her sleep she looked younger, more peaceful. He kissed her forehead and then put his head back to rest as well. But he didn't rest, he thought deeply on how to escape.

He had a general plan, but he knew it was going to be tough.

Hinata sat at group that morning, she noticed Sakura was not there but didn't think much of it. Naruto wasn't there, he usually isn't. It was just her, Sai, Ino and TenTen. TenTen was asking Sai to draw her naked later and he was blushing brightly. Ino was sullen that TenTen was flirting with her favorite, and Kurenai seemed to be particularly distracted. Hinata was sure that she wished Mirai would come to her morning groups, but Mirai didn't leave her room unless she absolutely had to.

Hinata put a hand to her stomach, she wished she could have a baby. Hers wouldn't end up fucked like Mirai, no her and Naruto's child would be a child of sunshine. At least in her most deepest fantasies that was how it was, but Hinata knew she would never have a child and she would never see the sunshine again.
