Sigh...I do not own Naruto...why do you think I'm writing stories on fanfic? If I owned Naruto this would be completely useless...Gosh!
Oh and in this story everyone is seventeen...except Lee's team cuz they're older but yeah...so they're eighteen. Oh and I don't know if Sakura actually has siblings...but in this she does ok???
I had always been Daddy's little girl. He had always loved me the most and everyone in the family knew it. He said I was the prettiest out of his children. He showed his love in strange ways though. Most dads hug and kiss their kids. My dad...touched me. Sometimes I would be scared to go to sleep at night because he might come in. I spent al lot of nights sleeping with my brothers and sisters. My father wanted me to stay with him forever so he had all these rules about me dating. He got so pissed when he found out that I was on a team with two guys that he actually punched me like it was my fault! I had to tell everyone that my older brother punched me and that I'd be ok. Ever since then my father always hit us whenever we did anything wrong. Like one time when I was thirteen I was home ten minutes after my curfew and he punched me so hard that we found out later that he broke one of my ribs. We never made the same mistake twice. My dad made sure of that.
You'd think that one of us would say something about it to someone but we never did. If he ever found out that we'd done that he might actually kill one of us. Besides, our dad is cool.
I always did what my father told me to, but one night I didn't, and that's all it took. One night. I knew what I was doing and I knew what would happen to me, but I went right along and did it anyway. I knew I would get hit...but I never thought he'd do what he did...I never imagined he would go that far...
The day had been like any other, or so it would seem. The weather forecast said it would be sunny, but it was cold, cloudy and windy. (A/N: You might not think that the weather has anything to do with anything but it does...) Sakura would go out and train, come home and eat lunch, go back to training and when it got dark out she would go back home. As Sakura was getting ready to go out to train, she packed an extra set of clothes in her bag, and ran out of her house as fast as she could. She didn't want to get caught. That night she had a date. A major no-no in her house. She knew it would be too risky to try to get ready at home so she brought all the things she needed to get ready in her bag and told her dad that she was going to Ino's for dinner, so he wouldn't suspect anything when she didn't go home that night.
"Everything will be fine," she assured herself "He'll never find out. I mean...who's going to tell him?"
After a hard day of training, Sakura quickly ran to Ino's house to change, and met her date. She was having such a good time that she forgot all about her curfew.
Being the worried father that he is, Sakura's dad got worried when she did not come back home by 10:00. He called up Ino's house to tell her to come home and why she didn't come home when she was supposed to.
At Ino's house...
RIIIIIIIIING!
"I'll get it!" said Ino getting up from her magazine and pausing her iPod for the first time in four hours.
"Hello?"
"..."
"Oh hi Mr. Haruno."
"..."
"No Sakura isn't here."
"..."
"What do you mean she told you she was coming to my house? She told me she had a date tonight."
"..."
"Ok...bye?"
And without even knowing it, Ino just ruined Sakura's life.
When Sakura got home that night she was surprised to see her dad waiting at the door.
"Oh h hey dad. What are you doing up this late?" Sakura asked nervously. She knew what would happen to her.
Her dad asked her where she was, why she wasn't home.
'What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?' she thought.
"I'm sorry I'm home so late dad. Ino and I were sitting up in her room talking and you know how time flies."
He told her he talked to Ino. She said that Sakura wasn't over there.
"She did?" said Sakura. She was beginning to sweat. Not only will she be in trouble for staying out late, but now she'll be in trouble for lying. "You see there's a logical explanation..."
Her dad didn't believe her. With every lie she told, he was getting angrier and angirer. Finally he just came right out and hit her. Sakura was expecting it but she was surprised by how hard he hit her. He knocked her down onto her back from the force of the punch. Her cheek was stinging.
He told her that he knew where she was that night.
"...You do?"
It was then that Sakura noticed the suitcase next to the door. Her suitcase.
"What's the suitcase for?" she asked. She didn't have to though. She already knew what was going on.
He started pushing her towards the door.
'Oh my God. He's throwing me out.'
"Dad? Are you throwing me out? I'm only seventeen! I can't survive on my own. Daddy please!"
He kept pushing her towards the door. She tried fighting back, but she only got punched.
'Oh my God. He really IS throwing me out!'
He pushed her out of the house, and threw the suitcase out to her. He finally won. Sakura was in tears. As much as her dad hit her, she still loved him. She didn't want to be all alone. A torrent of tears came from her eyes and the rain that had threatened the entire day finally fell, hitting the ground simultaneously with the young girl's tears.
"WHHYYYYYYYY???" she screamed to the sky. "Why does God have to be so cruel? Why?" she said, tears blocking her vision and clogging her nose. "Why?"
She sat there for hours, thinking, hoping, and praying that her father might open the door and welcome her back inside, but her never did. Once his mind was made up that was it. There was no changing it. It had always been that way.
Finally, she faced reality and realized that she was never going to be let in. She wanted to cry, but she had no tears left. She knew she couldn't stay on her front porch, so she started jumping through the dark trees in the pouring rain on what was probably the worst night of her life.
Finally she found a branch that was sturdy, so using her suitcase as a pillow, she lied down and fell asleep. Not even five minutes later, she woke up. She heard something rustle the leaves and although it was dark, she was able to recognize the person sitting next to her. never in her life had she been so happy to see spandex.
"Sakura...Sakura is that you?"
"...Yeah...hi Lee."
"What are you doing up here? Why is your head bleeding and why do you have all of these bruises?"
"...It's a long story."
"Well...I've got time."
Ok...hoped you liked it...R+R!!!!! Tell me what you liked, didn't like and what I need to change...ok...BYE!!!
