To Mend the Broken

This story won in the polling, reviewing and pming, that i recieved by a large majority. so Testing the Waters will be posted at a later date. this story already has 6 full chapters written and ready to be posted so reviews are going to be big for updating. this story i believe is going to be shorter than my other stories that seem to be at least 15 chapters long. i don't believe this one will be that long, but it might.

Okay so I decided i would start this story now and not wait a few more days as i had a real confidence boost about this story. i will tell you right now this is my first M-rated story so please be a little nice to me.

I also got the idea for this story by reading another fanfiction, that is now discontinued. I am going to use a disclaimer once and only once for this part. I used an idea from another story but i did NOT copy the story. this is how i am going with the idea. a completely totally different direction and the stories are total opposites of each other. so don't flame me if you have read the other story called Withered Blossom of Spring, i believe. so don't get mad at me. please. i have not plagerized anything.

so getting that clear.

This is M-rated. reasons why--- mature themes and mentioning of mature themes. little lime and a possible big lime i don't really do lemons, because i just can write nothing is too explicit I have still placed this story as M.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

To Mend the Broken



Chapter 1

It isn't a dream

The wind howled as it made its way through the village. The moon shone down brilliantly upon the seemingly quiet village as only the tree branches moved in the wind letting their blossoms fall off and travel with the wind to an unknown destination.

In a bed in an apartment a person slept. Though not peacefully as a dream plagued their mind pushing them back into an dark hole that they were trying to get out of. They tried to claw their way through their own stupor of thought and escape a dream that was an all too familiar reality. A reality that they wished had never happened.

The night seemed to swallow them back up and back into the darkest despair that no one could even help them try to escape. In the day, when the sun shone the person would try to forget and act normal but normality was always taken away when the sun set and the creatures of the night once again came out to drag them back to a pit, where their conscious was held prisoner by memories of unwanted things.

*flashback/dream*

The four had been at the tea house for two days awaiting a certain someone. It was mission that was given to the old team 7. It was an easy A-rank mission. Assassinate a leader that had been stirring up trouble for Konoha and do it by poisoning him

The three males watched as their female team member once again prepared to play her role in the mission. It was a tea house where geisha served the customers. Arriving several days before hand so the foreman's wife could help the female learn the basic arts of being a geisha, though she had had classes in Konoha about geisha, she had never yet had to act like one.

The woman of now 18 pulled on the last layer of the kimono. It was a beautiful kimono, having a blood red color as the basic color and beautiful white flower designs etched into the fabric. A white obi finished it off being tied gracefully and neat in the back.

The woman wore little make up as her face was already a light color almost looking porcelain to the eye. Her lips were made bold with dark red lip paint and her eyes had been shadowed slightly. She turned to face the men and gave them a reassuring smile saying everything was going to be okay.

The three men stared at her. It wasn't their first assassination mission, but it was their first in role playing. The three men looked uneasily at each other. There were so many things that could go wrong. The three sets of eyes flickered to each other for reassurance.

Kakashi seemed the most relaxed about the mission. His silver was still gravity-defying and his left eye still covered except now by a eye patch as they couldn't be recognized as shinobi. He was in his early forties and still going strong.

Naruto stood next to Kakashi on his left and Sasuke was on his right. Naruto still had his bright blond hair and cerulean blue eyes. He had matured growing broader and more muscular but still a boyish facade to him. He had grown as well and now stood about five foot eleven. He cared greatly for his pink hair teammate as a sister.

Sasuke stood to Naruto's right and held a stiff posture. He returned to the village only the year before and was finally allowed back on team missions. He towered over Naruto and Sakura standing at six foot two, Kakashi still had him beat. He had grown up and out of boyish facade. He had broadened considerably in his chest and was covered in lean muscle with a grip close to that of iron.

This particular day was the day that the leader was said to always come into the tea house. The woman had hid the poison in the long sleeve of her kimono that went past her wrist to her fingertips showing she was unmarried.

The foreman's wife soon came to the room and nodded, notifying them that the target was approaching. The three men looked at their teammate and nodded, each giving her a reassuring smile as her part was the biggest.

The four exited the room, the woman going to the designated room where the leader would always be in. The others assumed the roles of being guests at the house drinking tea given by another geisha but still close to the target's room.

They watched as the target moved towards the room where Sakura waited for him. They watched him until he was out of sight before planning their next move.


Sakura waited for the man patiently. She sat as calm as she possibly could. Hearing the curtain drawn back and then let go she let a silent breath out that she had been holding. She felt a hand on her shoulder and repressed a shudder.

"Others will be joining us shortly." his voice sounded deep yet dangerous and Sakura knew she was treading on thin ice. "Your friends should have been better disguised then just sitting drinking tea as if nothing was wrong." the hand moved on her shoulder as the man came to stand before her. She didn't look up.

Before making another move the curtain again was pulled back and four other men joined the target. Sakura sat perfectly still. She knew she would have to take them all out if she wanted to stay alive. The men jostled with each other before they sat down and began discussing things pertaining to Konoha.

A man moved his cup towards Sakura and she graciously poured the tea slipping in a drop or two of poison. Before the man could take a drink the leader's hand stopped his wrist.

"I wouldn't drink that." the leader spoke.

"And why not?" the other snapped.

"Look under her sleeve. I believe there is a vial there." the leaders dark green eyes bore right through her soul. He knew. The man that was about to drink set down his cup, stood up and moved towards the pretend geisha.

"Sleeves." he rudely demanded. Sakura stayed still until she was roughly brought to her feet by the man commanding her. Her hair started to slip from the intricate bun that was once tightly done at the back of her head. The man roughly pulled back both sleeves and there indeed was a little silver vial attached to her once covered wrist.

The man snatched it from her wrist where it had been waiting to deliver the poison into their drinks.

"Thought you could kill us did you." the man sneered. "Who put you up to this? The ninja a few rooms away?" Sakura's face paled slightly. They knew.

The men saw her already pale complexion pale a little more and knew they had hit the spot. They laughed. It was crude and unbearable. The hand that was restraining Sakura seemed to tighten even more as the men continued to crudely laugh at her expense.

The three other members of team seven could hear the crude laughter coming from the room and looked at each other nervously. Something was not right. The laughter was crude but had a hidden message of 'you can't fool us'. The men cringed. This was not going as planned.

The man that held Sakura fast threw her to their leader or her main target. She struggled against his firm hold and tried to lash out at him trying to use her strength.

"Ichiro, you have fun with the kunoichi. I think we should go say hello to her companions, who apparently want us dead." The leader wickedly grinned and nodded to his men. The others left the room and within minutes a loud crash was heard and the sound of metal on metal.

Sakura struggled to get away from the man as he decided he would have fun with her. They knew she was a kunoichi, that wasn't part of the plan. They weren't supposed to know anything. Someone must have informed them.

"I think we should leave them alone to take care of your friends. We need to have a little talk, kunoichi." Ichiro said starting to drag her away from their current room to a room on the upper levels of the tea house.


Sasuke dodged the shuriken that was thrown at him from the side. Activating his sharingan he quickly moved out of the way as a man with dark hair sprang at him from the shadows.

"Ah, an Uchiha. You must be the last one then." The man sneered. "Konoha thought that we were that dangerous that they send the Uchiha to take care of us. We should be honored then." the man attacked again making Sasuke move away from him.

Kakashi was trying to break away from two men as they continued to attack him. Being in such small confines was a hard place to fight. Each hand wielded a kunai as he continued to dodge and strike at the two men. He knew he needed to stop wasting time with these two and find Sakura.


Sakura had barely felt the little needle that had been inserted into her arm as she struggled with the man. She only knew something was wrong when she felt her chakra weaken and her body begin to not respond to her harsh movements.

"Now kunoichi, tell me where you and our ninja friends are from?" the man brought her to face him as he still roughly gripped her upper arm. His other hand held her chin fiercely.

"I won't tell you anything." she spat back, forgetting that she was on a mission. She hated being manhandled.

"You can take the easy way or the hard way. Now, tell me. Are you from konoha?" The man gritted out. Sakura remained silent. She couldn't give anything away.

"You are aren't you?" The man leered at her lifting her head with his hand. "So what are Konoha's plans? Get rid of us." the man laughed at her stone expression. "Not likely, kunoichi. Now what do you know about us."

she remained silent, knowing if she did give anything away she would be killed though she knew that she might just be killed anyway. These rebels were known to be ruthless and rarely left anyone alive once a person crossed their path.

"Fine, then Kunoichi. If you don't want to speak then I'll show you what we do to Konoha Kunoichi who come after us or any female for that matter."Ichiro said in a way making Sakura freeze. She stared shocked at him. His dark green eyes bearing into her lighter ones. She shook her head letting the chopsticks fall out of he hair. She didn't want to know.


Sasuke was close to finishing off the man. They had taken their fight outside of the tea house. Now Sasuke could freely use his ninjutsu without fear of wrecking the house. Creating the necessary hand signs within seconds a fireball shot from his mouth towards his opponent.


Sakura knew she was helpless. She had finally deduced he had drugged her and he had. She could not struggle against him as he hovered over her. He had found the room that team seven had occupied and the futons. Tears came out of her eyes as the man over her did as he pleased as he stripped her of her kimono.


Naruto was going against the last member of the four that had come out of nowhere and attacked them. He had used kage bunshin to help him fight. Itwas his trademark after all. The man was nearly out of chakra as he sent another attack against Naruto. Naruto avoided the attack and quickly appeared in front of the man killing him quickly with his kunai.

Sasuke heaved a heavy breath as he had finally ended the struggle against the other shinobi. He had several cuts and scrapes but nothing Sakura couldn't take care of later. Looking at the man he had just killed he went off to find Kakashi and Naruto.

Kakashi had finally taken care of the two men he had been fighting. He quickly sensed Sasuke's and Naruto's chakra and went to meet up with them. The three met about fifty meters away from the tea house. They all looked bruised and battered but their spirits were still high. They looked at each other and nodded. Sakura had probably already taken care of their leader.

Naruto sat on the ground exhausted. They figured Sakura was safe inside the tea house, so they decided to rest momentarily before getting her.


A small cry rang through the room as that was all she could do. Her hands, though she lacked strength, gripped the bare shoulders of the man above her. She felt pain. She felt sick. And she felt dirty. Her strength and chakra were not returning to her fast enough.

She felt Ichiro's hands once again begin to roam her body and she shuddered, her body in pleasure and her mind in repulse. She heard the grunts of the man above her. Her head was turned to the side, she didn't want to see the man's face. The man that had just taken her unwillingly, for her first time

He continued his ministrations to her body and she could slowly feel chakra return to her. Her strength seemed to continue to deteriorate as the man continued his wants. Tears blinded her as she moved her head to finally look at the man above her. She knew she had just enough chakra to kill him if she hit just the right spot.

She was about to end his life when there was a bursting feeling in her lower abdomen and as he groaned and then fell atop her. Her breath was taken from her from his weight fell on her small body. But this gave her her chance.

His breath was shallow and she felt his smirk against her bare skin above her breast. She slowly regained her breath from what had just happened to her and his hard, heavy body falling upon her own. Slowly lifting her hand again she gathered the necessary chakra and ended his life.

When she again regained some strength she moved the man off of her. Tears flooded down her face as she haphazardly put the kimono and obi back on. Her hair was down and damp with sweat. She quickly pulled it up again to make it look as if nothing had ever happened.

She dragged herself to another futon in the room where she could try and make the pain in the lower regions subside, if even slightly. She wondered where her teammates were. When she needed them most they weren't here. But did she want them to know what had happened? No. she didn't want them to find out.

Gathering a few things she passed the dead naked man. She knew she had to get rid of the body and using a technique Tsunade had taught her. It was a technique that was used by ANBU's when they injured and would be forced to relay information to their enemies, instead they would take their lives and destroy their bodies, and she used the jutsu to get rid of his body. 'there must be no witnesses.' and with that she walked out of the tea house with no more than a limp.

She saw her teammates resting, probably from their fights that they had had with Ichiro's thugs. She walked towards them and they looked up when she was within a few feet.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto cried. He was glad to see his pink haired teammate seemingly unharmed. She gave a light smile trying to act as if nothing had happened but all she wanted to do was cry.

"Is he dead?" Kakashi asked the only female on the team.

"Hai." she said trying to not make it sound choked. Kakashi looked at the female member and his eye narrowed slightly. He knew something was wrong, but what?

The four left the area and made their way back towards Konoha. Sakura knew that she had to act as normal as possible if she didn't want the guys to know what was going on inside of her. She tried not to shudder when one touched her or move away when one sat too close to her. She tried to sound cheery and made the excuse she was just tired when they asked what was wrong.

Within two days they reached Konoha. Kakashi said he would report to the Hokage and left the three of them to go their own way.

"Sakura-chan, you want to go get ramen with me and the teme?" Naruto asked turning to her.

"No. I think I am going to head home and shower and relax."

"But Sakura-chan." Naruto pressured.

"When she says no she means it dobe." Sasuke deadpanned. Sakura looked over at Sasuke. He stared straight at her and for a second she wondered if he suspected something.

"Thanks Sasuke. I'll see you guys later." Sakura waved and took off running, still trying to cover her slight limp that remained.

Sasuke watched her run away and noticed a slight limp to her run but figured she must have twisted her ankle or something. Turning to the blond he motioned they should head as well and the two moved off to Ichirakus.

When Sakura got into the safe confines of her home she finally broke down. Her sobs tore at her chest and her heart. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. She should have actually wanted to go to ramen with her other two teammates, where now all she wanted to do was cry.

Rushing up to her bathroom she turned the water onto the hottest it could go before stepping in with her clothes still on. She felt the hard water pelt her skin. She wanted to erase him from her mind and body. But she knew about rape victims. They would not forget the incident so easily.

*end flashback/dream*

The person in the bed bolted straight up. Their covers being clutched to their chest and their body was covered in a sheen sweat. The memories. They would not go away. Their breath was ragged and almost pained and before long a sob escaped their throat.

The petite body that occupied the bed sobbed as she remembered the touches, kisses, pain, humiliation. Everything that had happened in that room was flooding back into her mind.

It had only been a week since the mission had ended yet it still felt as real as ever.


So this is my story that everyone wanted to read so badly.
