Prologue
"We're not going to leave you!" Sakura's parents promised to their six year old child. Two years later they broke that promise. They were captured on a mission. Sakura thought she could bring them back. She was wrong.
Sakura ran through the halls of the unknown building hoping to find her parents but as she rounded the corner she got more than she bargained for.
A big man with ice blue eyes, nasty, broken, cracked, teeth, a bald head, and a big nail going through his head, picked Sakura up, knocked her out, and carried her off.
When Sakura opened her eyes she saw her parents in what looked like a bird cage. They told her it was going to be okay, they lied straight through her teeth, promising her things that would only give her false hope.
When the door's suddenly opened Sakura jumped. A man that had hazed over eyes, like he was blind, grinned at Sakura and revealed black, jagged, teeth. This man was going to break Sakura.
The man walked over to Sakura, bent down to her level, and said, "Call me smile, do you know why I want you to call me smile?" he asked her slowly. She glared at him and tried to bite him. He grinned even wider and said "I want you to call me smile because that's my name, do you know why that is my name? It's because when I was younger I would be the only one smiling. No one would smile when I played with them, all they would do was yell, kick, and scream." Suddenly the man smiled a big smile and said "That was the best part."
When the man was done scaring Sakura he walked over to the bird cage and grabbed her father. He strapped him down to a table and began to play.
Her father's leg had all the flesh ripped off of it little by little. Nothing was left but the bone. Smile then took a pan that had been heating up, grabbed the bone and yanked. Then he stuck the pan where the bone had been and sealed up the wound.
Her father's spine had been slowly piece by piece been ripped out of his back. Her father was still alive. When Smile realized this he flipped the man roughly on his back grabbed his head and forced her father to look him in the eye. Her father's screamed louder than any war cry. Slowly like a dying flame her father quieted, and his heart stilled.
Her mother was next. Smile obviously favored women. He said they were the loudest. Smile didn't do anything but strap the women on the table that her husband had been on, and leave.
"Don't worry sweetheart." Sakura's mother said gently. "Mommy, don't leave me!" Sakura cried out. "Oh baby, don't worry I'm right here, I'm not going to leave you!" Those words rang in Sakura's head along with her mother's screams.
When the man walked back in he grabbed her mother's head and forced her to look in his eyes. Her back arched, her throat seemed to close up, until the screams built up and flooded the room. He did this to her mother for an entire day, putting her through some sort of torture that only the two of them could see. Finally her heart gave out. Her head rolled to the side and dead eyes stared into Sakura's soul.
It was Sakura's turn. She sat there with her eyes glazed over. Sakura wasn't there right now. Some one else was. Some one, that everyone has, someone, which no one can bond with. Someone, that is tucked away deep down, and almost never comes out. Today Sakura met that someone. That someone deep down, drowned Sakura in her parents screams, smothered her in the memories. Sakura was too tired to fight, so she sank, deeper, and deeper, until she hit the bottom.
When the man unchained Sakura he lifted her up and held her there by the neck. Sakura slowly looked at the man and smiled.
The man didn't understand. It was too much. So he forced her to look into his eyes and slowly he entered her mind. It was the biggest mistake he would ever make.
Sakura's mind changed from pretty flowers, rainbows, and cute animals, to something dark.
Dark black skies could be seen for miles, raw flesh covered grass like a carpet, odd twisted blood stained creatures that seemed to be rotting, were walking towards the man known as Smile. When the creatures got a hold of him they ripped his body apart, and when they couldn't rip anything else, he would magically appear put back together, and then they'd rip him apart over and over again. When they grew bored they held him down and Sakura then forced him to look into her eyes. Her entire eyes was black, one single drop of blood fell from her haunting eyes and fell into his left one. Pain like nothing he had ever felt before engulfed him. He used everything he had to yank himself out of her mind until he realized they were in his. His heart was beating fast and it got faster, and faster, and faster until it exploded.
Before the man could even hit the ground the door was knocked down and Anbu flooded the room. They were too late, but Sakura couldn't say anything because she blacked out.
"I won't leave you!" Sasuke promised to an eight year old Sakura, who was currently trying to forget her nightmare. He broke that promise four years later, to go and get stronger.
"I won't leave you!" Naruto promised, but just like the rest, he too, broke that promise.
