Now...

As Sasuke awoke he realized he couldn't move his arms. He wiggled his fingers to see if he could figure out why. His fingers met rope. Rope...and a kunai. If he so much as moved is hands--not just his fingers--the kunai would slice through the flesh of his wrist, spilling the blood in his veins and providing him with a slow, painful death.
Whoa, somebody really doesn't want me escaping, he thought. Then he realized he didn't know where he was. Struggling to sit up without moving the kunai attached to the ropes binding him, Sasuke looked around. He was in a large room. More like a storage garage than a room. It was filled with crates and an assortment of rusty old pipes. Okay, Sasuke thought, I'm in a storage garage; probably part of a larger building. Now that I've figured out the where I just need to figure out how to get out. As Sasuke speculated the means for escaping, he realized another little tidbit--Sakura wasn't in the room with him! But where could she be? Oh; probably in some other part of the building. Damn!
Suddenly Sasuke heard footsteps and the kunai near his wrist seemed to disappear!
"What the hell--?"
"Shh!" hissed a voice from behind him, "Don't move. There are more deadly obstacles to prevent you from escaping. This rope's steeped in poison."
"Who are you?"
"Not important at the moment. I need to get you untied!" The ropes around Sasuke's wrists loosened and fell away. He whirled around. Kneeling before him was a youngish girl--woman?. Tall, wiry, with long, silky-looking turquoise hair and gray eyes, she was almost the exact opposit of the Sand ninja who had attacked him and Sakura earlier. Sasuke had a kunai to her throat instantly. The girl--woman?--didn't even twitch. Her eyes focused on the kunai in his hand, then travelled up his arm to meet his own onyx eyes.
"Who are you?" Sasuke repeated his earlier question quietly, but with just a hint of venom and murderous intent leaking through his tone. His rescuer--or should we now say hostage--showed no sign of fear. She just calmly looked into Sasuke's eyes and said,
"I'm the person who just freed you from my sister's snare."
"I know that," Sasuke growled, but who are you, and why did you help me?" The girl's--yes girl's, for Sasuke finally figured that she just looked old for her age--shoulders sagged as she heaved a sigh and muttered,
"I had hoped this would be quick." Louder, she said, "My name is Shizukae Yamanto. I'm the younger sister of the woman who attacked and bound you, and I know where you can find your friend."
"You still haven't answered my other question." Sasuke pressed harder on her neck. A small trickle of blood ran down the edge of her throat to rest on her collarbone like a ruby on a necklace.
"I undid the ropes because I hated to see you sitting there all tied up like some trussed pig. My sister's the one who set that up, and I hate her. Besides, you're too cute to die at such an early age."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Uh huh," he muttered sarcastically.
"Your friend is in the 'glass house'. My sister takes sayings way too literally. You had better hurry, though. I don't know what she's planning on doing."
And he was off. Now alone in the room, Shizukae's lips curled upward in a sneer. Her hair darkened, then changed color completely. Her eyes narrowed and dark rings appeared around them. She shed disguise like a snake sheds its skin. Soon, it was not Shizukae Yamanto standing alone in the middle of a vast room, but the same Sand Village ninja who had captured Sasuke and Sakura in the first place.
