Emeralds that are broken still shine
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Sakura woke up to the sound of her father yelling.
"You worthless, good for nothing, little brat, get up and make me breakfast!"
"Yes, father." Sakura replied, in a gentler tone, half-awake, half-asleep.
She got out of bed quickly and started to run towards the kitchen, in fear her father would start beating her.
Half way to the kitchen, she heard water running. Her father was taking a shower, so today, if she was fast enough, she could escape his wrath.
As soon as she reached the kitchen, she got out two eggs, oil, a pan, and a fork, wanting to make her abusive father scrambled eggs. While they were cooking, she got dressed with her school uniform. A black skirt with a white tank top that had the school symbol, a cat, on her right breast. To top it off, a lack leather jacket with black flats.
Sakura didn't wear make up as the other girls did. She had natural beauty, with her long natural pink hair, and despite the fact that she was treated horribly, her emerald eyes glowed. She then put on the ring her beloved mother had given to her before she died.
Flashback:
"Mom, dad, I'm home!" Yelled a nine year old Sakura. Nobody responded, so she started searching her house.
She couldn't find her parents anywhere, and if they went shopping, they would've left a note on the fridge....
There was one last room Sakura didn't check- her parent's room.
As she approached the brown oak wood door, she noticed blood was on the floor. She couldn't move, as she was frozen in fear. Shakily, she turned the door knob and screamed.
There, in her parent's bedroom, she saw her mother on the ground covered with blood, while her father stood on top of her, gun in hand. He turned to look at Sakura.
"You tell anyone about this, you'll end up just like your mother." Her own father had just threatened her.
"Worthless pieces of trash." He muttered darkly, as he left the room.
"Mother!" Sakura cried.
She started running towards her mother, and she knelt down beside her gently.
"Sakura...." Her mother said, as she smiled weakly.
Tears were flowing freely from Sakura's eyes.
"I love you," Her mother said.
"I love you, too." Sakura managed to choke out through her sobs.
With her last strength, her mother pulled her ring off her finger. It was a silver band with a cherry blossom on it, the color of blood.
"Until we meet again, my sweet child." She gave Sakura the ring...
And Sakura's mother was no more. Sakura cried uncontrollably.
Her father didn't get sent to jail. He said a 'closet' fell on top of her. The police believed it. And now, he began torturing Sakura...
End of Flashback
As soon as the eggs were done cooking, she put them on a plate, not bothering to eat breakfast herself.
She dashed out the door, thankful that she had escaped her father.
Still, Sakura didn't know why she felt so safe, for she knew beatings would be awaiting her at school, from Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, Huuyga Neji, and Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto never actually hit her he just kept a look out for any teachers that might be passing by.
She faced the school gates. The gate was old and rusted, and it looked like it could give out at any second.
Suddenly, Neji grabbed and slammed her on a nearby tree. Sakura didn't wince. She's been through worse, mentally, and physically.
"Trying to play tough, I see." Shikamaru said.
He started punching her, while Neji held her down. Sakura still didn't do as much as yelp.
Sasuke noticed something glistening on her hand. He went over to Sakura, and stretched her right hand out.
"Nice ring," Sasuke commented. "Mind if I borrow it?"
He didn't give her a chance to speak up he himself slid it off her finger.
Tears started to run down Sakura's pale cheeks.
A few moments later, Karin came.
"Look what I got for you, babe." Sasuke said to Karin, while smirking.
"OMGGGG!" The redhead yelled.
She took the ring greedily, slipped it on her finger, and left wanting to show everybody what Sasuke had gotten her.
"Please, give it back." Sakura whispered shakily. You needed to lean in to hear what she was saying.
"And why would I do that?" Neji asked, although the question was obviously intended for Sasuke.
"Because it's the last thing I had left of my mother!" Sakura screamed, so loud, everybody in the school head.
She then ran off. Nobody knew her mother died, mainly because nobody seemed to care. Sakura had no idea to where she was going.
'Let me go wherever my feet lead me to.' She thought.
