Chapter 5
When you realize that you are nothing

When I woke up I thought it was a dream again like I had a few weeks ago.
But then I realized that I felt different than then. The pain I had felt different and I was able to open my eyes.
The moment I opened my eyes I wished I had never done it.
I expected that I would be lying in the alley where I had stood that I had just fallen over because of the heat. But that was not the case, I was in a kind of basement and was tied up. I pray that if it should be a dream, it should stop now, because what I saw scared me. Indescribable fear, what was going on and why did that happen to me of all people.
Something changed in the room, and a faint rattle could be heard, it came closer and closer to me. Then suddenly it went quiet, it seemed to have stopped. When a squeak signaled me that the door was opened. A man came in whom I had never seen before, let alone noticed, as inconspicuous as he looked.
He came right up to me and pulled me to my feet by one arm. I tried to suppress a scream that I didn't want to give him enough of this, let alone that I wanted to show him that I was weak. But I couldn't suppress a low whimper.
He dragged me out of my cell into the corridor, which was only dimly lit. He continued to pull me behind him until we reached a staircase, where he stopped as if he wanted to think about what to do. Without further ado, he threw me over his shoulder as if I were a fly weight and carried me upstairs.
The tears welled up in my eyes, which I had kept under lock and key for so long. The pain threatens to overwhelm me again, whenever I wanted to be strong it happened. Whenever I straightened up, I was held down and held captive by my own pain.I was so lost in thought that at first I didn't notice that we had arrived above. Now the stranger was standing in front of a door that couldn't be seen from below. He knocked in a strange combination, I was sure it had to be some kind of poop. Suddenly the door was opened from the inside. And I looked in the eyes of one of the Suna councilors. The contemptuous look made me shudder, in his eyes the pure hatred was written. I wondered what he wanted with me, why he treated me like that.
As if he had read my mind, he replied.
"You are wondering why you are here. I will tell you why I did that, because you have no business in our country, I still wonder how The Kazekage could stop something like that. You probably turned his head around to be able to spy on him. Don't even try to deny it. I know what you and your master are up to . "When he paused for breath, I said.
"What are you talking about, I never intended to do anything like that. I don't even know what you are talking about ....."
I couldn't get any further because I was pushed to the ground and depressed.
"I said you shouldn't even try to argue, I have proof and I will show it to Kazekage to master. This will surely open his eyes and he will have you executed."
What evidence does he mean? I asked myself and tried again to suppress the tears that wanted to rise.
"Fortunately, I stepped in in time before you could implement your plans. It was so easy to get to you. Nobody pays attention to you, nobody misses you or would ask questions when you are gone. They would assume that you fled. It's stupid if you don't have to offer and aren't worth anything.Nobody will find them, not even the search parties from Suna know these caves, so nobody would hear you if you screamed. "
With these words turned away before he left the room he turned back to me.
"Take her back to her cell and let her die there. Nobody cares that she's gone." Then he left and I was dragged all the way back.

It was late in the evening when Gaara came home, since Sakura lived here he hadn't stayed in the office that often. He didn't feel so alone anymore and the house doesn't look so big anymore. Nevertheless, he still didn't trust her, even if she didn't seem to have anything to do with it, that could still change.
He just hoped that she would never betray him because that would hurt him a lot, even if he didn't want it to be true. He liked her a lot more than he liked.
He walked into the house and noticed that something was wrong. It was pitch dark and nothing indicates that someone was there. That puzzled him and he went straight to Sakura's room. He didn't stop knocking but just went inside. At first he thought she was sleeping. But when he switched on the light and she wasn't there, the thought occurred to him that it might have run away and he got angry. But before he lost his self-control, he got himself to order. And forced himself to think about everything again, he looked around the room and was very much aware that she had never been here. Ales was just like this morning, how he knew that, he admitted that when she left he always looked to see if all her things were still there.
Sakura had never been here, he decided, but where was she then. He decided to go around town to see if she was lost again. He left the house that had just entered so again to look for her.

He had been on the road for almost an hour without success, he was about to go back when he noticed something in an alley.He walked up to it and bent down to pick up the object that was lying there. It was a forehead band, but it wasn't one from Suna but one from Konoha. Gaara turned it and turned it when he noticed that something was written there, but he could not decipher it, it was written in a language he did not know. He put it in his pocket and turned to go.
He thought it was unusually quiet in Suna, otherwise there was always a lot of activity at this time because it was getting cooler. He went back to his house, which was so big and empty in front of him. Fearful, even terrifying, it lay there in the dark, just waiting to devour its inhabitant. He went into the house and picked up the headband. He twisted it and turned it until he was holding it diagonally, then he noticed the name. Sakura Haruno.
