Hello! Glad to see that everyone is enjoying the story. Yeah, I'm updating a little quicker then I should. Can't help it. T.T Shout out time!

Our contestants:

Hot Cinnamon Squirrel- Your review means a lot to me. I came across fics numerous times when Sakura's life is changed and then they follow the same plot format and then out of nowhere have her leaving to join the Akatsuki, finding her long lost brother, etc. Ugh.. it's so annoying! Lol. But you put it right on point. So thanks for the review. ^^

Xx-Silent Okami-xX-If she did then why didn't the Kyuubi stop her? Ha!

Fire Foxy Girl-I know.. it's quite corrupted over there.

Xx-Irritated Wolf-xX-I hope she doesn't. Cross your fingers, kay?

Honey Bunny-Chan- Glad to know that you like it! and to chapter seven, he spilled tomato juice. Not pickle juice. Oh well.. T.T

Raging Typhoon Wolf-Aw, I thought you were going to use the explicit one. You know? F-U-C.. Never mind, I'm so kinky. thanks! D:

Kawaii Chibiterasu-I laughed out loud when I wrote that part. Thanks

Black snake eyes- Oh yeah, that's gonna be a huge problem. None of them know who Yahiko is.

1L.B.1-I know, it's quite different from the others. I don't really favor following the plot just as long as it centers around them. Kind of like a loop hole isn't it?

Night-shade Wolf33- I don't know. There's a bunch of fics with moody stuff in the Sakura-Kyuubi era. But it is fun to be unique from the rest. ^^

OMG Deidara-sama- Lol, you sound sugary high when you typed that up. I'll put it into consideration.

A big thanks to 1L.B.1, Night-shade Wolf33, Honey Bunny-Chan, Luka1Sakura, and HCS for putting this on their favorites list.

:..Moments later..:

Team seven stopped near a sushi grill restaurant to rest. They didn't reach too far into the village due to not having the exact knowledge of where to go next. Kakashi turned around to check on his students and narrowed his eyes when he took notice of something quite strange.

"Where's Sakura?"

Naruto and Sasuke shot a quick glance within one another.

"I don't know. Wasn't she with you?" he shrugged, mindlessly staring at the dark haired male.

"Why would she? I'm like an emo magnet to you guys."

Kakashi looked straight ahead. "Let's just go find the kage and ask if he could locate her."

"Okay." chorused the boys.

So off they went past the restaurant into another part of Ame. While the team searched for their missing cherry blossom, Sakura walked down the same path except with a ginger haired male latched on to her arm like gorilla glue. She was giggling the whole entire time at his jokes and flipped her hair to the side in a giddy fashion.

Yahiko caught her at a fine moment, her innocence brought him into a frenzy. Deep down she was a tough cookie cookie to crumble. So he used his witty comments and fun having personality and was finally able to break down her barrier. Before that she didn't want to walk with him. He could tell by the look of defiance hidden within her skin.

On whim it made him want to try harder. To win her over and be her buddy. Soon after a few hours of walking around town he was able to make her smile. But now that he made her feel safe, she didn't feel the need to put up any more mental walls. Yahiko chated with the leaf kunoichi for a little while longer and took a long pause after a flare of chakra went off.

Ame nins were standing before him. Sakura got worried and remained silent for further instructions. The pinkette watched as her new friend left her side to talk with the guards. She blushed feverishly when one of them looked back to check her out and resumed talking with one another.

"Yes..she's the one.." he spoke in a soft voice.

"Are they with her?" questioned the guard he was talking to. "If they are then it's going to be a problem.."

"No. I found her drifting along the path by her self." responded Yahiko in a shallow voice.

Sakura wanted to break up the conversation. "Any thing wrong?" she questioned innocently.

His whole body turned, facing her with a warming smile. "Nothings wrong love. We were just debating on whether to take you out or not."

"To where?"

"Nowhere serious, just for lunch."

Sakura nodded and kept the blush on her face. "O-okay.."

"Great! Now let's go!"

Yahiko led the way down the coal steps with Sakura behind him. While he was bubbly and interested in where they were going, Sakura wasn't. She was sweating bullets and kept pulling at the collar of her neck. An anbu guard spotted her stressful tactics asked her what was wrong that caused her to fidget.

"Nothings wrong.. My throat is just dry."

He nodded and resumed looking ahead. "Yahiko.. this is quite a lady you got here." the guard began, causing her to turn beet red.

"I'm not a lady yet." squeaked the pinkette.

"Yes you are! You aren't married and you look great." commented the orange haired boy.

Sakura felt warm inside. She never got this much comments before besides it being voiced from her brother, Minato, and Jiraiya. The boys always told her that she was beautiful to them but she never believed it due to these whisker marks on her face.

Except Yahiko proved to her otherwise. No matter where you go, some one would always think that your beautiful. But there is a few down sides to being loved. Deep down inside, there is a terrible secret buried within your stomach that no one is suppose to know. You would want him to know and cannot figure out how he would react.

So for now she will keep quiet until the time is right. Besides, the yondaime specifically told her to keep it a secret for security purposes. If it were to get out, there would be serious complications that cannot be fixed.

"Were here. Welcome to my spot!" bragged the ginger haired male.

Sakura scanned the building. "This isn't a restaurant. Looks like a hokage tower to me.."

"Don't be silly Kura-chan. Looks can be deceiving." he warned her.

The pinkette gulped in tension. Yahiko traveled straight into the building with a few of the ANBU. Only two were left behind guarding her from right to left. She hadn't had this much protection since she was young. In fact, only Kakashi baby sitter her this close.

"Miss Haruno, Yahiko is waiting for you." spoke an anbu from inside the darkness.

'Ame sure is strange.. I couldn't tell if this place even has a kage at all..' thought a confused kunoichi.

'Tch, leave it to a girl to walk off with mysterious men she just met on the street.'

'Shut up old coot. He made me feel good.'

'Would you say the same thing when he make makes love to you?'

'Love?' blushed the confused pinkette. 'He couldn't.. I'm just a girl.'

Before she could say anything, an anbu couple coaxed her into the building. Sakura fell over when one of the guards tapped a chakra point hidden in her neck, concealing her chakra. The girl drooped forward and fell over with a faint spell upon her. Once she was out cold, he lifted her up bridal style and proceeded right in the darkness.

Said anbu wandered down the halls and traveled down the tiles into a room with a rusty jail cell in the back. He threw her roughly inside and left while she slept on the slimy floor. While her eyes were closed, she let out a moan and seemed to be caught up in her own little world.

.:Flash back of doom!:.

Tmp, tmp, tmp.

A man became cornered by a dark shadow in the alley way. His face seemed to hold guilty qualities as if he has done something wrong. Before him the shadow moves closer and turns into the outline of a little boy with red eyes. Down at the height of his knees was a little pink haired girl. Her eyes were filled with tears as she hid behind her savior; the dark haired boy within his ANBU uniform of stealth.

The man's temples sweat miserably, "I'm innocent I tell you.. innocent!" shrieked his enemy.

"You bastard.. how many times have I told you not to.. not to.." the ANBU trails, boiling in a fit of rage.

He lifts his hand up, powering over taking him. Said man shakes violently in fright and closes his eyes for a blow to the head. But it never happened. He reopened them, not knowing what the heroic male was about to say.

"It's not in my code of honor to kill people who stalk little girls." he stated slowly. "Your lucky I'm not the one to execute you today."

The man continues to defend his stance. "I-I didn't mean it.."

"Yes you did. Pedophiles always conceal their acts of aggressiveness with goofy personalities." redirected the weasel ANBU.

Before he knew it, the man was grabbed by numerous guards. The ANBU dragged him away out the alley way so he could be locked up in jail. After he left, said boy turns around to comfort the little girl he saved from being exploited for a grown man's pleasure.

"There. He's gone." he announced officially, "Are you okay?"

She nodded slowly and looked away in shame. "He cornered me after I got lost from my okaa-chan in the bazaar.." spoke the pinkette

"Tch. Kakashi should have stuck by you two instead of running off to buy porn."

After telling her his criticism to the lack of body guard, he went on his way with the girl following closely beside him. The yondaime would not forgive him if he didn't take her home personally without her being harassed any longer. While they walked, he stiffened when the girl tugged on his clothes.

"What is it?"

"Mr. Weasel? Would you please take me home? I'm tired.."

Weasel nods and committed the task at hand. He picks the girl up in a bridal formation and drifts away in a sea of black feathers. Many people took notice of a black dot racing across from roof top to roof top carrying the enemy; Kyuubi no Kitsune.

He didn't mind proceeding with the task. After all, she's still a little girl. At once he arrived at her home. Said boy placed her down on the ground and watched her run up the steps and stop near the front door of the house. The weasel didn't expect her to remain there and try to coax him into her home

With a soft sign and regret viable on his face, he enters the house. While he waits to be served, said weasel spies many pictures of her mother and own self hanged up on the wall or sitting on tables and dressers. He looked down after hearing the sounds of feet shuffling across the floor board. Sakura was below him holding onto a plate that held two cups of lemonade and dangos. The boy remained silent and waited for a motive to her kind actions.

"I heard how much you liked dango. So I made you some." smiled the pinkette.

All he could do was stare. "Aa. Spare me some?" he hinted.

Sakura nodded. "Yes, and after that we can play dolls."

"Oh boy.."

.:End of flash back..:.

Sakura stirred in her sleep. What made her sweat bullets was the excess heat swimming around in her system. While she slept, an entity of man kind spoke to her. Messed with her, wanted her to scream and clench her skull in pain. What is the extreme cause of her memories to explode so unexpectedly?

'Tch.. that didn't make any sense.'

Sakura's eyes opened half way. 'What..? I don't know what your.. talking about..'

'Yes you do! Meet me in your mind.' commanded the kitsune. 'NOW!'

All of a sudden, she found her self in the sewage of hell..

...

-In her mind-

A petite body could be found slumped over in running sewage water. She got turned over by a large fiery tail and was firmly placed on her butt. The girl awoke and lazily watched a giant monster with red eyes crawl towards her on it's belly. It couldn't move any longer due to the cage blocking it's path.

"What's going on?" yawned the pinkette, eyes filled with laziness.

"Nothing really. We followed some random boy with orange hair and now were here locked up in a dungeon." explained the fox. " Does it rings any bells?"

"Dungeon?" she shouted back, in full alert. "Did you just say that we've been kidnapped?"

"Bingo gaki. All thanks to you."

Sakura's eyes widened in shock, "It's because of me?" she questioned, then her eyes grew hard. "Your full of crap. This is thanks to you that I'm in this mess."

Kyuubi rolled it's red eyes. "What ever. I guess we should find away to get you out of here."

"Get us out? What are we? An infant? This is easy as pie."

"Oh really?" frowned the large kitsune. "What do you suggest?"

"Bend the bars, duh.."

"Depends if you can. Try and use these as a test subject." Kyuubi explained, patting his jail cell with his paws. "This is the only way I can see that your ready."

Sakura stared ahead at the target. "You mean these?" she questioned innocently, touching them with her fingers.

"Yes. I want you to push them out." the Kyuubi responded with a rumble in his throat. "In no time at all I will be relea.."

Her hands lightly touched the bars. She took notice of a paper with the kanji word for seal.

"I'm not stupid. You wanted me to release you." she blurted out.

"Ugh, plan failed.."

Without warning, Kyuubi twisted around in his cage to sulk and act anti social. His container felt bad for her actions and planned to fix it. Sakura rushed forward and squeezed through the cage like butter so she could keep in contact with him. The kitsune growled in surprise whe she got up in his face.

"Come on! Let's train! I'm pretty sure that we can do it together." cheered the pinkette.

Kyuubi signed deeply. "Fine. We'll begin, starting now. Take down these puny demons."

With a snap of his foxy fingers, Kyuubi unleashed some monsters for her to fight. Sakura turned around so she could locate them and watched it come alive before her. Back smoke vanished revealing numerous black creatures with a round pea head and yellow eyes in it's place. Their stomachs was flat and connected to their feet like a pair of black footy pajamas. It started to creep like a zombie throwing her off a bit.

"W-what's going on?" stuttered the startled kunoichi.

"Those are your punching bags. Go get them before I change my mind and swallow you."

Sakura hid her disapproval and walked out from behind the bars. She ducked when it pounced on her.

The kunoichi launched her foot in the monster's direction with a yell, "Take this!" and landed a hit on it's stomach.

The shadow got pushed back and fell over then grunted when Sakura slammed her foot into it's cranium. While she continued to beat up her enimey, a whole gang of shadows ambushes her. She could not be seen except only the black masses of energy that claimed her flesh.

"Come on bitch! You can do it!" cheered on the fox.

Sakura shut her eyes trying to make them disappear. "N-no.. I don't want to die."

"Then fight, this is the only way!" snarled Kyuubi.

"Mm, I'll kick their asses!" responded the kunoichi with a nod of determination.

Sakura got up, tossing all the shadows to the floor. They flew back into the sewage water and got up for a rebound attack and went away in smoke when a kunai cut them in half. With her weapon she started to take down her foes one by one. All of them left leaving Sakura behind.

"Huff..huff.. I'm done."

"That's nice. Next time, use your fists."

"WHA?" screamed a dumb founded jinchuriki. "You didn't say nothing about that!"

"Kunais don't break down trees and pull bars out. Fists do. Enough whining, you need to practice some more."

The pinkette's eyes went wide and she narrowed them. "Fine.. let's do it."

Sakura made a pact with her demon.

...

Vish! A blond blur climbed up the electricity pole.

He put his hands close to his mouth and shouted, "Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan, where are you?"

The boy looked far and wide, across the entire village. By his team mate being lost in a village of suspicious details, this would make locating her a lot difficult then it seems. Naruto took one last look upon Ame and jumped down to the pavement, crouching down into the earth.

Kakashi and Sasuke stood before him. "Did you find her?" asked the scarecrow. Naruto shook his head.

Sasuke voiced his opinion. "This is why we shouldn't allow girls on our team. They either end up becoming missing or weak."

Something inside Naruto snapped. He rushed forward putting his hand on the Uchiha's chest and shoved him so far into a building causing it to crack beneath his weight.

"Don't you dare call Sakura a weakling." snarled Naruto. "You don't know what she has been going through!"

"Tch, how would you know?" smirked the Uchiha. Blood trickled down his cheek. "You two aren't related by blood.." he added victoriously.

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise. It then faded as he pushed him deeper into the bricks. "You take that back!"

Sasuke found him self in the store Naruto thrust him in. His whole entire body popped out in a new entire room, shocking the people that were in there. Sasuke straightened him self up and dusted a few dust particles off his clothes.

"Tch, I'm not going any further. Were through.." ended the quitter.

Naruto stared at him. "No Sasuke, we were done a long time ago." he replied slowly and then turned on his heels and left.

Kakashi looked lost. He switched his attention to Sasuke who quickly fled in a swirl of leaves then back at the shocked audience.

"Eeh heh heh. Nothing to see here folks.." sheepishly laughed the scare crow.

They weren't having it. "Oh hell no. You are going to fix this shit up."

Kakashi made up a quick pretend cough and ran away with his arms up in the air. He didn't look back as the army of Ame villagers chased him out the village. The jonin jumped over the check point blocker and ended up in the woods from which he previously came.

"About time you showed up.." voiced a bored character.

He looked up, spotting Sasuke leaning on a tree. "S-sasu..ke.. Where is Naruto?" wheezed the tired silver haired man.

"I don't know."

Kakashi looked up with anger present in his coal eye. "You lost him too?" he questioned, voice rising.

Sasuke shrugged and pointed towards the mist. Kakashi followed the direction he was pointing and found a body hunched over near the pond; he seemed to be crying. The tension in his shoulders lowered and rose as the man trekked across the grass towards him.

Naruto's shoulders bobbed up and down. "W-why is.. hic.. everybody always picking on us?" sniffed the blond.

Kakashi towered over him. "No Naruto. No one is picking on you guys. It's just that.."

"Were different. I'm the hokage's son and she is my god sister. Everyone expects better from us.." Naruto added sadly.

'Naruto.. there's more to you and Sakura than you think..' thought the scarecrow, staring up at the gray sky. 'Just knows not the time to reveal it yet.'

"Are we done yet? I need to go home and eat tomatoes," Sasuke stated while walking over to them, ruining the moment. Naruto glared at him.

Kakashi tried to comfort him. "Why don't we go home and tell the yondaime of Sakura's disappearance."

Naruto stood up, allowing the wind to toss around his golden spikes. "No. We must remain here, for Sakura's sake.."

He didn't pay attention to his teacher's excuses and went back into the village.

...

"Naruto-kun.. wake up." soothed a happy voice. "Baby, you need to wake up."

Said blond sprung up in high alert. "Sakura-chan!" he shouted, and looked around the room to find no trace of green eyes staring back at him. "W-wheres my nee-san?"

His parents were at the bed including Kakashi and Sasuke. Naruto's pupils rolled to the back of his head and he flew back into the pillow alerting his friends and family. Kushina rushed over to her son's aid and checked his temperature; over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

"Nurse, nurse! Get in here! Somethings wrong with my son!" demeaned Kushina worriedly.

Numerous nurses and doctors ran to her boy's aid. They wheeled the bed out of the door into the halls and vanished from sight. Once Naruto left, his parents had the need to interrogate Kakashi and his only student near by.

"Well? What happened?" frowned the red head. "You told me that he would be alright, not unstable and sick to the touch."

"This wasn't suppose to happen. When Sakura vanished, Naruto searched for her in a frenzy and got beat up by the villagers for back talking them."

"That's so like him. I blame my attributes from corrupting him in the womb." frowned Kushina. "Oh well, that was still brave of him to return to the village."

"Wait a minute. Back that up, who has been kidnapped?" questioned a confused Minato.

"Sakura.." revealed a sad scarecrow. "As of now we do not have any clue of her whereabouts.."

"Oh my!" gasped Kushina.

"No, no, no.. This can't be good. We need to get her back."

Sasuke was confused by his team mate's folks shocked nature. "All this action for a pink haired girl?"

All they could do was stare hard at him. Sasuke looked away with a quick 'tch' and didn't follow them as they ran out the hospital room. He wandered over near the hospital window and spotted three figures running down the road into the village square. Curious, he left in a swirl of leaves and settled on one of the biggest buildings located in the main area.

"Where are they going?" he mumbled to him self.

The lone survivor of his clan's massacre watched Minato talk to an assembled mob of anbu. They saluted in agreement and left in white clouds then the yondaime did. While sasue watched the squad disappear, a blast of wind crept up behind them.

"Sasuke. Go home, there is nothing to see here." demanded a lazy voice.

The boy slowly turned around, taking notice of his sensei's presence. "What's going on? Is someone lost?"

"Of course there is. Your team mate is missing."

"There was no big search party for my onii-san.." Sasuke uttered out childishly. "This is stupid."

"It would be if it doesn't concern you. Now leave."

Sasuke felt the need to scowl a little more. His only audience left in a swirl of leaves leaving him all alone.

This made him want to leave as well, except a lot more quiet..

...

/Few weeks later/

"So, how are you feeling?"

Naruto turned on his side and watched his mother. "I'm alright mom. Just thinking about Sakura.." he trailed.

Kushina signed softly and watched her husband walk through the door. "Well? Any leads?" she asked.

They waited patiently for an answer. Only a shook of his head told them otherwise.

"There's no sign of people living in that village."

Naruto sat up, "What? I could have sworn that there was some people. Me and the guys saw it all." he barely shouted.

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure. Ask Sasuke and Kakashi."

"Alright. I'll be back soon."

Minato left in a swirl of leaves. Only Kushina and Naruto remain.

"Mm, I hope she's alright.." frowned the red head, "No clean clothes, food, awful shelter.."

"What about her mother? I bet she's awfully worried about her."

"I know. After we broke the news to her a few weeks ago she wouldn't stop crying."

"If I were a girl, I wouldn't stop either.." Naruto admitted in a low voice.

The conversation dimmed down between them. A knock can be heard from outside. Kushina gets up from the chair and walks over to open it. Her eyes gleam for a while and she starts to talk to her new guest. After a quick greeting, the red head allowed her inside to meet her son.

"Naruto, we have a guest. She wants to see how your doing."

Her son noticed someone. "Hello Hinata-chan. pleasure to find you here."

"H-hello Naruto-san." she greeted silently. Hinata help up a basket filled with flowers and nick nacks. "T-these are for you, from me and Neji nii-san.."

"Oh. Thanks Hinata."

"Your welcome. Well, I should be going now. Off to train with b-brother.."

"See you later Hinata-chan! Maybe we should train together too one day!" suggested the blond.

This put her over the edge. "N-naruto-kun.." stuttered the Hyuuga heiress.

Her face got beet red. In no time at all she fainted..

"Oh my.."

Damn.. I wish to include SasuSaku in here but..that's going to take some time. Since Naruto gets in the way like brothers always do, it ain't gonna happen any time soon. We'll just wait and see until my character development tactic kicks in. Really, can't picture them together right now anyways.

If I would, then it you should have seen it in the earlier chapters. Oops, there isn't any. I'm not anti-SasuSaku or anything.. Just don't want her to dry hump his crotch all day and not life a finger to help the world. Besides, I have plans for him and it won't be pretty. Mwahahaha!

Going back to the plot; Kushina and Minato's are taking charge on getting back their container. If I could recall, Kumo takes their jinchuriki in-habitation very seriously. So I thought Konoha should do the same. That's if they could find her. o.o

The fic will close for now. Anyways, thanks for reading! Review your thoughts.. I'll be back soon.

Sneak preview: Sakura will bust out her prison! But how? and will she escape into the arms of her village?
