#1: One at a Time
Sakura's life was tough. She had triplets by her high school sweet heart, Sasuke, was off in a different country due to him being in the Navy. Sakura was left to take care of three children on her own. She had two girls and a boy, their names were Ume, Saki, and Miku. Ume was born defected. Even though all the children were five and were able to walk and talk, Ume wasn't able to done none of those things. Her brain was still in the infant stage, so Sakura had to devote most of her attention to her. Saki was jealous of this though, she wanted the attention that Ume always got. To get her much needed attention, Saki would always try her best to get Miku into as much trouble as possible.
"Mama! Mama!" Saki ran into the bathroom while Sakura bathed Ume. "Miku cut himself again!"
Sakura sighed, she was so tired of that boy, "Go get him a band aid Saki."
Saki darted out of the bathroom to do what her mother instructed her to do. About ten minutes later, Miku stumbled into the bathroom and leaned against the door, holding his hand tight. Sakura turned to see what the problem was, she screamed when she saw her son was covered in blood. The boy was trying to slice an orange, his aiming slipped and he sliced his hand almost completely open. Saki, only wanting to do exactly as her mother said, place a small band aid on the gash.
"Mama…" The boy gasped before falling face forward on the floor.
Sakura panicked with a shriek and ran over to her dieing child, scooped him up I her arms and hurried him out to the car. As Sakura started up the car and began to drive away, she noticed she ran over something. She dismissed it as running over the garbage can again, she forgot to bring it back to the backyard today. Half way to the hospital Miku died of blood loss so Sakura sadly made her way back home… upset with herself that she didn't go check on her son when he was in trouble at first. She got out of ther car with Miku's corpse in her arms and almost dropped the boy when she looked up into the driveway. There lay the mangled body of her daughter Saki, her eyes wide open and blood still running down her lips. Saki had tried to stop her mother as the car backed out of the garage so she could go to the hospital with her mother. Sakura didn't see the girl, so she kept going.
"Saki…" Sakura sobbed as she dropped to her knees.
At this moment Ume ran through Sakura's mind.
"Oh no!" She had left the incapable child in the tub full of water.
She ran in the house to aid her last living child… But it was far too late… the child had drowned while she was rushing Miku to the hospital.
Day after day Sakura slowly grew mad, she couldn't handle the fact that she killed all of them… every single one of her children in one day. Sasuke had heard of the disaster and hurried home to aid his fiancé in her time of grieving. As soon as he walked through the thresh hole of his home, he was greeted by the corpse of his fiancé on the living room floor. She had slit both her wrist with the kitchen knife. Sasuke broke down on his knees and mourned the death of his entire family.
