A/N: THIS IS A TIME SKIP BACK TO THE PRESENT.
FIVE DAYS AFTER SAKURA MET MADARA...

{CHAPTER FIFTEEN}

It has being five days since Sakura had made a deal with Madara.
She sat on her bed, her mind went back to that day.

FLASHBACK...

"Hello princess"

Sakura ran to the door and tried to open it but found out it had already being locked.

She wanted to scream out but Madara beat her to it.

"Do not worry about that, I have set a barrier outside that blocks every noise you may wish to make"

Sakura faced him, her back resting on the door " What do you want from me?"

"Your freedom"

"Huh?"

Madara got up and begin to take slow and steady steps towards her.

"I am here to offer you freedom. You have being locked here against your will right?"

"A-actually, Sasuke promised to take me..."

"He lies" Madara said.

Sakura noted how closer he was to her and she pressed her body deeper to the door.
Somehow she wished the door would just crack open and she could find a way to escape this man.

She didn't know why she was feeling like this, but something about this man was giving her a very bad vibe.

"Sasuke lies...he does not have plans to take you back home"Madara continued

"And what gives you that idea?" she asked

"I know that boy like the back of my very hands...believe me if you do not find a way to escape, Sasuke will never take you back"

Sakura became confused.
Why was it that everyone she meant tried to turn her away from him.

This was somehow related to the voice she had heard the other night...and now this?

"And you can help me?" She croaked out

Madara nodded "In five days time, I will send you a package that will lead you to your freedom .But you must escape this place first"

Sakura wanted to decline, she wanted to say no and say that something within her trusted Sasuke.
But those red eyes...those glowing red eyes that stared into hers greedily.

It was like it was forcing her to compel to his words.

*Was this his power?* Sakura thought. She remembered Sasuke had done that to her the first time they met and now this man was doing it too.

She felt her lips open apart and the words forcefully came out.

"Fine, I'll agree to what you want" she said "As long as you grant me my freedom"

Madara chuckled, his mask making his voice seem shallow.
A sprial like shape showed in the air and the man was being sucked into it slowly.

"We will meet soon" he voice said.

The room finally became calm and Sakura let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding.

...
.END FLASHBACK

The pinkette's stomach turned, she couldn't believe it.
What if that man was saying the truth ..obviously it could be, because after that night, she never saw Sasuke again.

When she had asked Tsunade ,she said Sasuke had some important business to attend to and won't be back for a week.

A week? She was going to spend a week still in this place.
She wanted to go home, she needed to be home.

She missed her one room apartment, she missed Mrs Yamanka, she missed Ino.

Hell, she couldn't even believe she missed School even her lecturers.

She tried to push aside the feelings she was feeling right now, but this was serious and she was sure that Sasuke intended to keep her here.

And that she wasn't going to allow. She needed to escape and tonight would be the good time.
Sasuke wasn't around and so all she had to do now was to wait for the package that man had spoken about.

An involuntary sleep overcame her while she was thinking and when she woke up it was already night.
She had woken up suddenly and she had a feeling she didn't just wake up.
She had a very bad feeling building up in her guts.

Something was wrong...she sent her gaze to the front door as if assessing what was behind it.

But she stood corrected as the door suddenly flew opened and Sasuke walked in.

"Was he here?" he asked

"Let me go" she started ignoring him, stating her feelings perfectly clear to him.

"Sakura, was he here?" he asked again.

"I don't know what you are ..."

"Madara! Was Madara here?'' he asked. His voice sounded so angry, it sent a chill down Sakura's spine.

"Is it true, are you keeping me in here?" she asked "You don't plan on letting me go do you?''

"Sakura ..."

"Why? why do you need me?" She continued "I'm just a normal girl with a normal life.
I'm not this Hime everyone calls me and I have no idea how I ended up in that photo I saw the other day..
but I want to go home...please let me go home" She pleaded, frustratiom evident in her voice .
Beads of tears came out of her eyes and she broke down sobbing.

Sasuke for once didn't know what to do.
He was confused.
Was he supposed to feel sorry or sad?
What could he say?

He didn't know, he didn't know how to respond to her and so he left the room.
Left her alone and went to a place where he could concentrate.

Sakura stopped crying and looked around, she was finally alone. Now she could leave.
She hesitated ...it could be dangerous, did she care?

She needed to leave now.

Without thinking more, she got up and brought out her bags, pouring the items unto the heard a loud growl of thunder outside, it was going to rain, but it didn't stop her.

She picked up things she knew she would need and wore her normal attire.
Which was the cloth she had wore the first day she came here.

Putting on her shorts and wearing her rubber white shoes, she walked out of her room.

No need waiting for a package to come, she could leave without him.
Digging her hands into her bag, she brought out an injection that contained Propofol in it.

She had taken this from the school lab that day, who knew it would come in handy.

And besides, she won't kill them, she would only put them to sleep.

Walking out of her room, she took the stairs and ran down. Luckily she could remember some of the routes Tenten had showed her when she requested to be shown around.

She got to the palace entrance door and brought out the injection ready to attack any guard she might meet.

But what she saw was surprising.
All guards had being taken care of.
They all laid on the ground as if dead.

Her medical instincts wanted her to check on them, but she had no time for that.
She needed to leave.

Opening the big entrance door, she walked out into the stormy night.

Small rain drops touched the earth until it began to pour heavily.
Sakura didn't mind that she was getting wet.
She ran into the city not bothering to look behind if someone was coming after she was unaware that a pair of red eyes were watching her.

She ran and ran further into the city, she did not stop until she felt safe from the palace.
Just then ,her body collided with a strong body and she fell backward.

"Well, well, what we have here boss" A skinny dirty looking man who had caught her arm and pulled her up said.

Another man showed up was a fat and short man with beards."Rainy night ..yes?"

"Are you lost, we can take you home"

"i- I can walk home myself" Sakura said

The men laughed

"What courage " the beard man said

Thunder boomed louder and the rain became more heavy.
It felt heavily on them.

The pinkette's mouth ws dry despite the fact she was in the rain.
Her heart was beating fast...she couldn't even tell the difference from her heart beat and the rain.

"Is she a virgin?" the fat man licked his lips.

"Seems like" the other man said.
He noticed the mark on her wrist "She has being marked"

*Marked?* Sakura thought

"Oh,and who is her husband" the fat man asked

Sakura was deadly pale.
This was what she got for trying to get her freedom back?

She felt her feet become wobbly and she knew she would pass out any minute.

Then it struck her.
She still had the injection, if only there was a way she could reach it...but her hands were being occupied.

The man pressed her hands together and she hissed out in pain.

"Well, if you have no husband, we can help you"

The fat man reached to grab her hand and Sakura wiggled it a little.
The man's eyes widened "Hey...this mark is..."

Sakura stared in shock as the fat man was now distant from her pinned to a tree with a sword in his throat.

The other man let go of Sakura walking backward "M-my Lord? We did not know..."

"No mercy"Sasuke mumbled. His beastly red eyes staring at the man as he struck him down..one rainy evening.
