p class="MsoNormal"Sakura woke to find herself in a cave. There was a small bed at one side of the room and a door at each end. They were thick wooden doors with a small barred window she could easily break through the door but she felt so drained at the moment plus which door should she go through. Sakura elected to search the room thoroughly, not that it should take to long the room was only small and there wasn't a lot of furniture. She started at one door thinking to work her way around the room in a methodical manner, so she wouldn't miss anything. She started skimming the walls with her hands looking for any signs of a hidden panel or door. She got with a foot or two of the bed when a very gentle whimper sounded. Sakura slowly approached the bed, crouching as she reached the edge. Reaching hand forwards she lifted the thin tattered blanket that was hanging over the edge of the bed. There was a loud scrambling noise and two shape ran from underneath the bed and cowered in the corner./p
p class="MsoNormal"Sakura had jumped back raising her fists when the commotion happened not knowing what it was. She turned to face the threat and found two small thin girls in brown simple dirty dresses. They huddled to together the older holding the younger. Both had clearly been crying as they had tear tracks down their cheeks, clearly visible in the dirt on their faces. Sakura's heart clenched. What the hell were two young girls doing in Orochimaru's lair./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"The girls had beautiful features under the dirt. They both had thick dark almost black hair that fell past their shoulders relatively unkempt. Also they had dark black eyes, so dark you could barely see the pupils. The older was whispering to the younger but Sakura couldn't hear what was being said between the two./p
p class="MsoNormal""what are your names?" Sakura asked in a gentle voice. The girls looked shocked to be spoken to. The older mumbled something but Sakura didn't hear it. She asked her speak louder./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""Ichika…" the rest of the sentence was lost to the gloom of the room./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""Hi Ichika my name is Sakura are you alright?" the girl clutched the younger one tighter. And shook her head./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""t t they took our daddy and mummy and our sister." Ichika sniffed and her sister nuzzled closer. She looked towards the door./p
p class="MsoNormal""they took him through there?" Sakura asked. She got up and went to the door. Peering into the gloom she could make out that the room beyond was significantly bigger than thing one as it went round a corner out of sight. At one end she could see a figure. The figure wasn't moving. Its arms pulled above its head and starfished. The figure seemed to by hanging by its arms. Sakura didn't hold out much hope for the figure./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"She went back to the girls. "I'm going to see if I can go find your family. But I want to make sure your okay first can I look out you both?" the girls nodded. Except a slight malnutrition the girls seemed okay at least physically. She had finally found out the name of the younger girl, Sara. But in the next breath they had told her that they had heard screaming coming from the next room. Sakura got up and tried to reassure the girls and started towards the door./p
