Home Sweet Home
Prelude
A vale of darkness stood over the village. It began to rain darkness, and before it was Naruto. There he walked as the people banished him. He slowly as the crowd threw rocks at shouting "Murder!" He continued without flinching, as he neared the gate he saw Tsunade appear.
His heart began to warm, as if it was going to be ok, but he was wrong. She began to stare at him with bloodshot eyes. He stopped in front of her, and looked directly into her soul. He knew she was like the rest of them. He had lost his only mother. "Naruto you are worse then sum, you killed your own comrade" Kakashi said as he appeared. Naruto had now lost a brother, One by one his friends began to appear. Iruka spoke first "you are just a monster" he as he spat on Naruto. Naruto then began to fall on his knees.
One by one his so called friends began to curse him. Naruto lay quietly as they spoke, and by each word his heart began to break. Though in his mind, only one person remind. "Sakura" Naruto whispered. "What did you say?" Kakashi asked as he heard him whisper. "Sakura" Naruto whispered again. "Naruto look around you, she isn't here" Kakashi continued.
"Sakura" Naruto said again. "She hates you, and she never wants to see you again" Kakashi yelled. "Sakura" Naruto he said slowly again. "She hates you so much that she couldn't bare to see you today" Kakashi yelled as he grew closer to Naruto. They both began to look directly into each others eyes; Kakashi then began to smirk and was about to laugh at the crippled boy, but before he could Naruto yell with all his heart "SAKURA!" Before Naruto react, everyone began to stomp on Naruto.
As night approached the people began to leave. As they left they spat on Naruto, but before Tsunade left she said three words to him "Never come back" As Naruto lay by himself in the darkness. He saw something brink in through the darkness. It was bright, and it seemed like an angel. A figure appeared in front of him and began to speak "Naruto don't give up" A female voice said. "Sakura is that you" Naruto asked. "Yes" Sakura said she picked him up. "Naruto I want to thank you" Sakura said as she carried. "For what" Naruto asked softly. "For being with me, when I needed you" Sakura responded. "No problem" Naruto said as he began to cough.
The darkness began to fade as they looked at each others eyes. Somehow the pain in Naruto's body had faded for a moment. They embraced each others presence for a while. The encounter was only a few minutes, but he felt like a life time. Before they recover their thoughts Naruto had fallen into a state of sleep. His body was almost destroyed by the people he had sworn to protect. Sakura in her mind began to think of the first time she saw Naruto as something more than a friend.
Flashback
Sakura had laid on her Knees as the man she had loved had betrayed them once more. She stared into Sasuke's eyes as he pointed his Kunai at her throat. "Why?" Sakura cried. "You foolish women, I have only used you as a pawn in my plan to destroy Konoha" Saskue responded. "But why would you lie to me, I gave my heart to you, I gave you love and sacrifice" Sakura had continued to cry as she laid prisoner to Sasuke's Kunai.
"I used you to get close to the Hokage, so I could kill her, and then I could avenge Orichumaru" Sasuke yelled. "So you never loved me, so our marriage was a lie, was it a sham, or was it real, tell me!" Sakura yelled as she pulled the kunai closer to her throat. "It was nothing to me, I only love Orichumaru" Sasuke said as he gave a smirk. "You see I only care about two people in the world, one is Orichumaru and the other is our beloved friend" Sasuke responded again. "Naruto" Sakura said fast. "You're correct, but it isn't for power"Sasuke said softly. "It was for love" Sasuke said slowly. "You see have loved Naruto since day I left for Orichumaru, and my goal was to either have him love me, or force him" Sasuke said. "Naruto" Sakura said quietly. "I only got close to you for him, so I have never cared for you at all" Sasuke said as he began to laugh. Sakura began to cry as she saw him laugh at her face. "Don't laugh asshole!" Naruto yelled as he appeared suddenly. "Naruto" Both Sasuke and Sakura said. "No one hurts Sakura!" Naruto yelled as he flew at Sasuke with his rasegan, but before he could reach Sasuke had disappeared into the night.
Naruto then began to hold Sakura in his arms. He slowly began to sing to her "Don't cry, because I'm here, so baby don't cry, because I'm not here" As she heard his voice all her pain had begun to fade, and she was at peace.
End of flashback
Sakura had carried Naruto her cabin outside the village. She slowly treated his wound with care. She began wrap bandages around his broken body. She then began to cry. "Naruto why didn't you run" Sakura cried as she fell on the floor. "Because I wanted to say goodbye" Naruto responded. Sakura looked at his broken face as he spoke. He filled with scars. "Naruto why didn't just forget about me" Sakura cried once more. "Because when I sang you that song, I wanted to say something from heart that I couldn't tell you in the open" Naruto said. Sakura began to listen quietly as he spoke. "I love you" Naruto said quietly. "But now I must leave" Naruto said as he ran out the cabin with only his pants and sandals. Sakura stood their as she saw her only friends leave her forever.
