{CHAPTER THREE}
Sakura stared at the man with the expression that he was already crazy.
On the other hand, the man seemed perfectly calm with what he had just said.
She was astonished. Did this man really think she was a healer?
Just because he had saved her doesn't mean she was to be sold or anything.
She had helped him cure his wounds and what does she get in return?
A will to be sold.
"Let's get something straight here,you can't just take someone as a slave. This is a free country. You don't just take people as you please" Sakura said.
Sakura watched as the man sighed and dug his hands into his satchel bag.
He took out a powdery substance and blew it on Sakura's face.
"What are you ...!" Sakura said slowly beginning to notice how energy was fading away from her slowly.
She was drifting into darkness until finally she passed out.
...
...
The sounds of laughter, people talking and metallic things clanging against each other was what woke Sakura up.
She noticed she was in some trolley cage and she was tied down as if she were a criminal or something.
Sakura peered to look through the place reminded her of the market place back at Konoha, her home town.
She noticed how everyone was dressed.
The men wore armor like suits and had masks on.
Some faces were exposed and some where totally covered. They also had swords with them.
She also saw women walking about in the same attire,holding unto weapons.
Now she was confused.
Was she in some kind of movie that she accidentally bumped into and the crew decided to use her to replace their lost cast member?
Sakura swallowed to help her already dried up throat.
Was she here to be sold to one of these men?
The trolley came to a stop and Sakura could pick out the voices of two people speaking.
They seemed to be talking in a foreign language. She couldn't even understand a word of what they were saying.
The voices soon stopped talking and she heard steps.
They were coming towards her.
The cage gate opened and the cloaked man who had helped her earlier untied her.
"Get down" he said
Sakura did as she was told and stepped out of the trolley.
"Is this the girl you speak of Hyuuga? " A deep voice of what seemed to belong to a middle aged man asked.
"Yes she is. I believe she will be a good asset to the king" The guy Hyuuga guy said.
King? There was a king here? Sakura thought.
Maybe she could have a word with him on how she could get back home.
She watched as the two men exchanged words again in their foreign languages.
The middle aged man nodded and then looked at her as if analyzing her. Then he faced her capturer and continued talking.
Sakura began to take careful steps backward away from the two men who were already too involved in their talk.
Her eyes never leaving them as she walked backward gently.
A hand suddenly grip her wrist making her jump.
She looked down to see an old lady beside her.
Her hair was white and she had wrinkles over her whole body which made Sakura cringe mentally.
The woman smiled and spoke "I see you have finally come back home *Hime*"
"I- I think you mistake me for someone else" Sakura said trying to act weird out by what the old lady had said.
Home she said?
The old woman opened her eyes and Sakura saw she had no pupils in were just pure white. She looked blind.
How was she able to see then?
"I'm not mistaken Hime, you are finally back" the lady said.
Sakura glanced at the men and saw they were still talking.
She leaned down to the woman's height
"Um...excuse me,but do you know how I can get back to Konoha?''
"I'm afraid there is no way out for do not fret child, you will remember soon" the lady said and began to walk away.
Sakura was about to ask what she would remember soon when the woman suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Well" Sakura said "That was strange"
Sakura wouldn't believe her,but was the woman familiar with Konoha? .And why did she say it wasn't possible for now?.
This was all so annoying.
Immediately the old woman had left,a big man came out of the building they were standing in front of a eyed Sakura as if undressing her.
"Well,what do we have here?" he asked "She sure would make a good slave for pleas-"
"I am NOT a sex slave!" Sakura yelled .
Getting raged in front of people like these men was not good especially when they looked this dangerous.
But if they ever addressed as *that* again, she would snap.
"She is a fiesty one too. The king will love this little gift" The man said and then snapped his fingers.
The cloaked man nodded and took a bag which Sakura was certain contained money.
That was it? She was sold already?
The man gestured for his other men and they walked towards Sakura.
Sakura turned around to realize the cloaked man was already gone,he had vanished on her.
So much for having someone.
Sakura, having no energy to fight or anything just gave in to them as they tied her hands and lead her to another trolley.
She only hoped this King was someone she could reason with and would help her get out of wherever this place was.
