Chapter 1
Thinking through things; Drills
Thinking back…I was 4 years old as I listened to you and okaasan yell and argue. Your hands went around her neck for just a second before you stepped back and hit her on the head with a beer bottle. She fell to the ground.
...
In the morning she was gone. She promised me she would come back for me. The next day she was in a car accident and died. Leaving me here alone in this hell hole with no way to escape. Yes I forgive you okaasan… but I can't for you marrying him…
Now days I have to lie and run from the comfort of my friends… just to keep them alive… What did I do to deserve this…?
...
Sakura walked to school every day, rain or shine, always leaving an hour eairlier to help with the morning tutoring. Or so she told her father. There was a morning tutoring program at Konoha High but she never went to it. At the top of her class there was no need to go to tutoring to get help only to give it. And no one went to the morning tutoring program because not a lot of people liked getting up early. Well except for rock lee.
Sakura didn't really like being around him… he is obsessed with impressing her and frankly it annoyed her. Since they were little he has always tried to get her heart… along with Naruto but it never worked. Sasuke wasn't interested in her either. They did go out for a few weeks in middle school to see where it would go but he was just not interested. After that he got into football with Naruto who convinced him to join and he hangs with the slut of the school Karin, the best swimmer of the school Suigetsu, and the best wrestler of the school, Jugo.
Sakura walked to school deep in thought. She would have walked with her friends but she had abandoned them at the end of the school year after Ino found out that she was being abused by her dad two years ago.
Today's attire was a black tang top, skinny jeans and a deep crimson hoodie that she just got to replace the worn black hoodie from the previous year. Her hair was long and down so she could hide her bruises easily.
It was only a month into the new school year and sakura had perfect attendance. She barely made it to school some of the days after her father's late night drunken rages. Her first hour was homeroom so she never had to worry. Kakashi was always either late or didn't show up in the morning. She had him for two classes throughout the day because homeroom was just a class to do last minute homework in.
But today was different. Something was up and he was actually on time. Sakura was five minutes late which made everyone look at her. Even Kakashi looked at her. "Well it's nice of you to join us sakura-chan… please take your seat and I'll start class" His lips moved behind his mask meaning he was probably smiling.
Sakura sat down, absent minded as she put her head down. Her back hurt. Her arms and legs felt like lead and she was exhausted. Ino looked at sakura with sadness that only she could bear for her best friend. The usual blabber mouth Ino had kept sakura's big secret in exchange for sakura talking to her once in a while. But it was only once a month at the most. Ino looked at Kakashi who had started to explain that they were having a few drills during the hour and wanted everyone to be ready. In the middle of this Ino had passed a note to sakura, hoping to get an answer.
Im so tired, what does she want now… oh god the light is so bright…
Sakura opened the folded paper.
How bad is it this time… do you need anything for the pain?
Sakura wrote back, underlining five words and folded the paper back up and gave it back, not caring at the moment if Kakashi seen.
Ino opened it and frowned reading the underlined words and understanding.
It's nothing horrible… dad was a little worse than usual… im in some pain an IB would be really helpful but not right now. (The msg= "it was horrible im in pain, yes I need an ibuprofen right now")
They had created a secret system so no one would figure out what they were saying. Seeing the note passing Kakashi frowned. He went through the trouble of being on time and the star pupil was late and passing notes. Walking to Ino he looked at her, sighing and clearing his throat right by her ear.
Ino jumped and squeaked, getting the class to laugh at her. "Hello Ino… you know there are no notes allowed in class when im teaching so I'll just take this and-" Sakura snatched the note from his hands and ripped it up, letting the papers fall to the ground.
"Its personal and girl talk so I would be happy if you left it alone…" Sakura's hands were shaking and her breathing was labored. Turning she dug into her bag and took out her inhaler, walking to the door. "Excuse me…" she whispered. Going into the hall she took in a puff from her inhaler and sat down against the lockers.
This was the usual behavior that sakura had this year. But every month he noticed it got worse. Her outburst was becoming more frequent and it worried him. After reading that she was in pain and seeing the bruise that she was trying to cover up on her arm, he wanted to do what he could to help her but guessing by her reactions it was something she didn't want help with. He picked up the pieces of the torn note and sighed.
"Ok… now were about to go into one of the drills so let me get sakura back in here…um… and I guess Ino too..." He hadn't noticed that Ino had slipped out before to get sakura but now he noticed she had when he was picking up the papers.
Out in the hall:
My chest hurts… why of all times is it around him. I honestly don't care if people know, the more the better but I don't want them to know because I don't want him to know… why the hell is that… man well that's just great, I might have a fucking concussion…
Ino looked at sakura "want to go to the bathroom and see how bad it is… I can patch you up…" She muttered and sat down, resting sakura's head in her lap.
"No… if he sees that I tried to patch myself up or I reached a bruise I can't really fix, he will make it worse… I just want things to cool down… he has already shot me before and blamed it on him thinking there was a burglar in the house… what's next…?" she sighed, looking at the ground "He threatened to move with me to suna if I told anyone. There no one cares if you hit your kid as long as there alive…" she frowned.
Ino gently petted her head "if you need to im here… my house is always open… If he tries to move you to suna you run… you run from him as fast as you can to my place or the school… the gym is never locked so you can go in there to the girl's locker room… you will be safe in there… "
"Ino I can't… I may be fast but he is faster… except when he is drunk… but let me sleep for a bit… I was up all night…"
"Hey girls you need to come into the class the drills are about to start." Kakashi interrupted their conversation making both girls jump and sakura hurt herself.
"Ah…. Shit…" she muttered. Ino looked at her, worried for sakura who got up with her help. "You gunna be fine? Do you need to go to the bathroom?" she asked sakura who bopped her in the head "no he just said there are drills that are about to start so we can't…" she walked into the class, pouting.
Kakashi stopped Ino, waiting until sakura was in the class and heading towards her seat. "You know what's going on with sakura… and I want answers… is she being hit by her parents?" he looked down at Ino with a very intimidating and stern gaze.
Ino looked at sakura then to kakashi. Relizeing he was the only one that could help her. "I-it's not my business… sakura's mother died when she was four in a car accident…" she looked away, fiddling with her hands. "But if you would call her dad and say she was staying after school. Well… that would help her… or just make her a teacher's assistant… she is smart enough… and it will help with her job because she won't have to be at home so much… oh and for the Whinter trip…I think you should help chaperone it… keep her safe because I know I can't do anything…" she quickly walked into the classroom, being lady cupid, she seen it before anyone and she knew what to do. Even though it might get them in trouble she knew that kakashi and sakura liked each other. She just had to give them that extra push.
Back in the classroom:
. practically drooled over the situation. Teacher X Student love and she was in the same boat with their Sycology/ Economics teacher Nara Shikamaru. She practically drooled in her little guilty pleasures of being tutored by him every day after school.
The door closing shook Ino from her daydream and the class continued till there was an announcement that meant there was a strange person in the building and everyone had to hide in the classrooms. Everyone but a sleeping sakura got up and went over to the wall beside the windows.
Sakura is reliving the night before in her dream
"What did I tell you about being asleep so early? You're supposed to go to bed at ten! So then I can yell about this dirty house and send you to bed without dinner!" he slaps me, pushes me then he kicks me. "You worthless piece of shit you didn't even cook me dinner! Go down stairs and cook my dinner!" He pulls my hair and drags me to the steps, pushing me half way down the wooden stairs before I catch myself and hurry down the stairs, stumbling to the kitchen to make him dinner.
As im about to start putting everything into a hot pan he comes in and pulls my hair and takes the hot pan and burns my arm. I scream in agony beg him to stop. It's so painful I can barely stand it. "I changed my mind and that's your punishment for falling asleep. Now go to bed… ill make my own damn dinner you fucking bitch… And clean up your arm before it gets infected and we have to amputate it… you will be worthless without it…" he turned and started to make himself dinner. I got up shakily and stumbled up the stairs and to the bathroom, trying not to cry in pain. My arm would never be the same again and that's thanks to the 2nd and 3rd degree burns he gave me.
Kakashi was shaking the sleeping sakura. Finally he grabbed her arm and she cried out in pain, pulling her shaking arm to her chest. Everyone was staring at her including sasuke who had an idea of what was going on. He lived on the same street a few houses down and when he took his late-night walks he would hear sakura's fathers yells of anger.
"Um…Sakura… Were in the middle of one of the drills so can you wake up?" Kakashi gently explained, worried for sakura because of her reaction.
"S-sorry… I-im up… I hurt my arm yesterday cooking dinner…" she quickly explained before scurrying to the rest of the group. Making sure her back was gently to the wall before she texted Ino.
I need that ibuprofen like right now… my arm is on fire.
Ino read her text and scooted over to her, giving her the pill in the darkness of the room. The only light they had were their phones which they were allowed to have during the drill unless Kakashi told them to cover them.
Sakura took the pill, not knowing sasuke was watching her intently. Yeah he liked her but she was different now. She was so disconnected from everyone. She stopped calling him sasuke-kun and she only rarely talked to Ino.
This wasn't his sakura-chan. This was someone else. A stranger to everyone who knew her and to add she didn't have her huge temper. It was like she was a dead person or a rag doll. She used to be so happy and now her eyes, her walk even her voice and her fake half smiles cried out for help. He frowned. She was in pain and he couldn't do anything about it… or could he? He was the second son of the sheriff so he could ask a favor from his dad. But would sakura get hurt? He debated in his head as the drill went on.
When the drill ended everyone went back to their seats to talk and have fun but the bell for the next class rang and everyone left. Sakura was the first one, avoiding any questions Kakashi had for her. She walked with Ino to Economics.
Ino's favorite class because she thinks our lazy ass teacher is hot but what is so hot about a pineapple head? She thought as she sat down. Getting her recorder out she turned it on, making sure the battery was good before she pushed record. Using the recorder she recorded the lesson so she could listen to it during her free hour. Putting her head down she was finally able to get some sleep.
That is the end of chapter 1. please read and review criticize me (but not too harsh im trying my best just a nudge will do) and help me make this fan fic better than it already is.
