Full Summary:

What began as a seemingly easy mission became so much more complicated when Sakura is kidnapped. Who are her kidnappers? And what is their reason for taking her? Sakura soon finds herself as a pawn in a much larger conflict, one of which she has no control over. It's amazing what a little bug can do.

The Bug

As she sat there, huddled tightly in the corner of the room she couldn't help but wonder what she had done to get there. All her life she'd been doing things for others, rarely taking things for herself. So why was it when she finally did take something for herself, it resulted in something like this?

The room was pitch dark, so dark that she couldn't even see what was right in front of her face. She shivered from the dampness of the room, knowing that it probably wasn't the best idea to stay on the cool floor. But at least in the corner she felt some security. Pulling the light blanket even tighter around her shoulders, she crossed her arms across her chest in attempt to keep warm.

When she went to pull her knees up to her chest, she looked down and remembered with a sob that she no longer could. She couldn't keep the tears from escaping her eyes as she laughed. As she thought about it now, it all seemed quite funny in a solemn. She was absolutely out of her mind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

A small fluttering in her belly snapped her out of her thoughts. She wiped the tears from her cheeks as she sucked in a deep breath. Grasping her swollen belly with two hands, she gently ran her palms over the surface, almost as if she was caressing it. She couldn't afford to lose it now. There was still one soul in this world that needed her, even if it was helpless.

Leaning her head back to the wall, she didn't even bother to wipe the tears away this time. She just let them fall silently down her face. For now she could let everything out, but only just for now. She had to remain strong, for herself and her child.

But there was still that nagging feeling in the back of her mind. It was that one question that she could never seem to answer. Sure she knew how, but she could never bare the truth. How could she have let it go this far? And now with the cold reality before her, she had to face it head on. She knew that no one could hear her, but she opened her mouth to speak anyway,

“Sakura, what happened to you?”

She knew very well what had happened to her. It all began all those months ago, back before she realized how cruel fate could be. And yes, it could be so very cruel.

...to be continued.
