Shame

"Sakura" a familiar voice range in the distance.

"Sakura!" it was getting louder!

"N-naruto?" her sore voice croaked.

"Sakura!" he kicked through the cell door letting in a light that chased her to the farthest reaches of the damp, dark room. It had been so long since she'd seen the light or Konoha or any one of her best friends.

"Sakura! I came to get you!" he yelled still catching his breath, "Sakura? What's wrong? What did they do?" he questioned not being able to see her in the dark corner of the room. He scanned the area seeing that it was a square empty room with no windows or even ventilation just chilly and damp.

"Was she…was she really kept here all year?" he thought to himself, "Sakura please."

"Naruto," she strained her dry voice , "I can't let you see me like this."

"Like what? Tell me what they did!" he said now on edge, "can you walk?"

"No…Naruto please don't make me do this." She begged, her voice cracking.

"I'm coming to get you!" he finally decided now stepping forward to seize her. It sent a tremor of horror through him as her begging became more and more desperate as he came closer in to view. Just a few more steps ahead of her and

"NARUTO PLEASE!" she cried frantically, "You don't know, please you don't know what they did, please don't look at me! Just go away! Let me die!" she exasperated losing what little control of her breathing she had left.

"NO!" she screamed, struggled as much as her depleted strength would allow her as he picked her up in to his arms like a bride. He was headed towards the light of the door to take her back home when Neji ran in to the room.

"Naruto, we're running out of time, they've found us out! We need to go!" he urged until Naruto came in to the light with a broken Kunoichi. Her long pink hair matted and dirty, her skin pale and stained with grime, her body scared and bruised, her lips grey and chapped, her eyes full of fear, sorrow and shame. But what surprised him the most was her unmistakably swollen belly. Neji was speechless to say the least yet time was too valuable to waste in bewilderment. Nodding prominently they raced down the hallway as they heard Sound ninja barking orders and forming plains to retake the ruined woman in Naruto's arms. Luck seemed to be on the opposite's side as the two ninja came to a dead end but disappeared in a cloud a smoke to the Sound ninja's dismay. They had escaped with Orochimaru's precious experiment. There would be hell to pay.
