The blood is trickling down her back.

"What is it?"

Nothing.

It doesn't matter. Soon he will stop thrusting, he will tire himself out and he'll want to end it as much as she does.

"For fuck's sake, literally, can't you feel anything?"

Oh, but she does feel. The disgust, the sickeningly sweet smell of his breath and sex, the pleasant friction… He takes his time, trying to coax a response out of her that isn't purely physical.

"I love you"

Really now, as if she didn't know. Well, she waits. He's just a second away…

"Sakura!"

Finally!

Wait, what is happening?

"Your blood tastes sweet. Did you do it on purpose?"

Silence. She can't really speak.

"We can't have that, now, can we? Follow me"

Soon, just be patient.

"Sit. What exactly do you want from me?"

Her freedom.

"Why are you like this? I don't want to hurt…"

Fury is good. It keeps the fear and him (for a little while, at least) at bay.

"Ever since I saw you kill that man I knew you were mine"

She was a kunoichi. Killing was in her blood.

"Still, war isn't for women. You have to be cared for and taken care of. To be loved and cherished. To watch after kids and take care of your men. But, unfortunately few of you understand the importance of this role and you selfishly go out on the battlefield as if that's where you belong. Even your dearest-"

He hits a wall.

"-Sasuke agrees with me. But then again, in front of him you have showed yourself to be nothing more than a weakling."

It doesn't matter. He, of all people, should've known to look underneath the underneath.

"You know, I feel kinda special when I think how I am the only one who knows just where are your limits. You are really one of a kind. And I am truly sorry about the side effects of the drug, but that's the only thing which could tame you. I still haven't figured out why you were slaying civilians, but I am working on it. And there, all done. Look in the mirror"

Pink hair next to silver. Green next to his glasses. Their lips, puffy from his forced (she keeps repeating it) kisses. And her once lovely long and white throat now marred by his freaky potions. With her voice gone forever. Too bad.

Just a thought.
