I sat up top on the hill, looking down onto the battlefield. Rubble surrounded me, and my knees were scuffed up from sitting on the dirt for so long. My heart was racing as I saw my dear comrade Naruto fighting against the Akatsuki's leader, Pein. I gripped onto my skirt tighter, and clenched my teeth. Things were getting bad for Naruto. He had run out of chakra, and used all of his Sage Mode. Things were bleak.
Before Naruto had went down there to face Pein, he had told me to hide. I hid with my other comrades and friends, Ino and Hinata. I couldn't seem to calm myself. I started to panic, and breathe heavy. Hinata put her hand on my shoulder, trying her best to comfort me.
"Sakura, calm down. Naruto is strong. We have nothing to worry about." Hinata whispered, reassuring me. I tried my best to accept her comfort, but nothing seemed to calm me. The other Akatsuki members were lurking around the area, looking for any survivors. And if one of them were to find us, we were dead.
Hours upon hours went by, and the fighting still continued. I poked my head around the corner of the rock that shielded us from view. My eyes went wide, tears welling in them. Naruto laid on the ground, lifeless. I saw Pein walking towards him, and he was holding a black rod. My heart was racing so fast I thought it was going to beat out of my chest. But I held in my screams as much as I could when I saw Pein thrust the black rod into Naruto's heart. But I couldn't help it, I stood up, screeching.
"NO!" I screeched, my voice almost cracking. And I knew what I had just done. I could see Pein cocking his head in my direction. My whole body was paralyzed with fear. I backed up slowly, intending to return to the others and escape. But I was shocked to see Hinata and Ino captured by two members of Akatsuki.
"Sakura, run." Hinata said, tears spilling down her face. My body seemed to be paralyzed. Then suddenly, I could feel somebody behind me. And for some reason, that gave me the energy to jerk around to see who was behind me, and my heart almost stopped. The man who had just killed Naruto was standing before me, and I knew for sure I was going to be killed next. But Suddenly, everything went black, and I felt a sharp pain on my head.
I woke up, and my head hurt badly. I was lying down on the ground, in what seemed like a cell. I could see Hinata and Ino laying down next to me. I sat up slowly, my whole body hurt.
"Ino...Hinata…?" I whispered. They both stirred, moving to face me.
"Sakura…?" They both whispered in unison. But no words were spoken once Pein entered the room, two other people following him. I clenched my fist, suddenly feeling all the hatred I felt for this man. I managed to scoot in front of Hinata and Ino, trying my best to protect them. It's what Naruto would have done, and I looked up to him. I furrowed my brow at Pein, clenching my fist even tighter now.
"Hmph, trying to protect your friends? That's cute." Pein scoffed. I forced myself to stand, still in front of Hinata and Ino, my legs were shaky and felt as if they'd give out at any moment. I walked up to the bars that separated me and Pein, I gripped onto one of the bars, keeping my balance.
"Screw off you worthless piece of scum!" I yelled, letting all the hatred out. Pein only smirked, cocking his head back to his fellow members.
"Grab the other two, leave this one." He ordered the other two. They gave him a confused look, but did not question him. They came up to the bars, unlocking it, and then grabbed Hinata and Ino. Before I could do anything, Pein pushed me back, making me fall to the floor. The door closed, and Pein locked it.
I quickly got back up, rushing over to the bars. I grabbed ahold of two bars with both of my hands, furrowing my brow and frowning at Pein.
"Where the hell are you taking them?!" I yelled. Pein smirked once more, and it only irritated me more. I scoffed at him. But I was horrified when I heard deathly screams come from the other room. My eyes went wide with tears.
"Why don't you see for yourself?" He said, still smirking. He came over, unlocking the door. I was surprised at him, unsure of what he meant. But I brushed past him, walking down a hallway, and then into an open area. I gasped, and my eyes went wide when I saw Ino and Hinata lying on the ground, lifeless. Tears spilled down my face, and I clenched my fist. Right in front of me lay Hinata and Ino, dead. A pool of blood surrounded both of them. The tears continued to spill down my face.
I looked up, and something caught my eye. It utterly shocked me, and at the same time confused me. Lying in the dark, secluded, corner was Naruto's corpse. My mouth dropped open a little, and that triggered more tears to spill out of my eyes. I slowly walked over to his pale corpse, dropping to my knees. I threw my arms on top of his stomach, laying my head on top of them, sobbing. Then, I felt that usual presence behind me. I stood up, quickly spinning around, fist clenched. And it didn't surprise me to see Pein standing there. But I had expected him to be smirking, but he had a frown stretched across his face.
"Why…?" I muttered. Pein was silent. "Why did you spare me?!" I questioned, almost demanding he answer me. But once again, Pein was silent, but only for a few moments.
"Because…just because!" He yelled, walking closer to me. "Just remember one thing, we are not the same. You're worthless, and your life has no meaning at all. And you will never be nothing more than a worthless piece of shit!" Pein continued to yell. His words seemed to be hesitant of coming out of his mouth. But he showed no emotion. Suddenly, he gripped my wrist tightly, dragging me away to god knows where. His grip was hard and firm. There was no escaping from it.
What was he going to do with me?
I thought, scared. What more could this man possibly do to torture me? He killed my friends, destroyed my village, and now he held me captive. How worse could it get?
Pein dragged me around every corner, and I thought we would never get to where he was taking me. But suddenly, he stopped in front of a door. He opened it, dragging me along. It was a bedroom, and sweat ran down my forehead. I was utterly shocked, and scared when Pein slammed me hard against wall. He slammed his lips against me, my eyes went wide, and I tried to pull away, but he had my hands pinned up against the wall. Pein pulled away, and pushed me onto the bed. My heart started racing again.
"Go to sleep." He said bluntly. I laid there, confused and scared. "I said, go to sleep!" Pein repeated, yelling. I didn't hesitate this time. I laid back, covering up with the blanket.
And as I suspected, I wasn't going to sleep. I felt someone laying next to me. I shot up, seeing Pein next to me. My cheeks flushed red when I saw he was shirtless. I could see his muscles were tense, and he was fast asleep. That relaxed me for a little bit, until he woke up.
He rolled on top of me, kissing me hard. I gasped as he shoved his tongue in my
mouth. But a part of me enjoyed it, but another part of me wanted to escape from this. His lips went down to my neck, and he bit down hard on it. I winced, screaming out in pain.
"You're my own little slave. And you always will be, you worthless piece of shit." Pein whispered in my ear. I didn't say anything, but just let tears run down my face. I felt uncomfortable when Pein licked them away.
"You think this is bad? I'm just getting started." Pein said, smirking. The night continued with me being in pain. Pein would bite my neck hard, drawing blood. He gripped my wrist so tight I thought he'd break them. And every time I'd complain, or whine, or let a few tears escape my eyes, he'd strike me across the face hard. How could I possibly enjoy this? I was confusing myself, but something was happening that I didn't want to happen. I was falling for Pein.
