Big thanks to Courtney777 for betaing this chapter! She helped a lot from the original posting!

Sakura was still unconscious. The restraints had been removed. Her arms and wrists were rubbed raw and bloody. She was thrown into a dark cold room. She regained consciousness as her body hit the hard floor with a thud. There was a loud bang as the door was slammed. She winced as she sat up wearily. She couldn't see the room was black. All she had to go on was touch and her hearing. She listened into the darkness. There was a click, and then silence. She was all alone. She felt her way through the darkness but there was nothing. The room was completely empty except for her.

She still couldn't manipulate chakra due to whatever he'd drugged her with.

She sat on the cold floor completely naked and shivering. She wrapped her arms around her knees and rocked slightly. Tears flowed freely down her face. Her face was still sticky with his juices. She could still taste and smell him. She cringed and vomited. She tried to stand only to fall back down due to her shaking.

She felt her wrists that had been bleeding and there was a blood trail down her arms. Her other injuries were minor. She sat wondering when she'd be released well, if she'd be released.

The room was deadly quiet and there was nothing for her to drown out her thoughts. Her mental state further deteriorated as she relived his torture over and over. Hours passed and she continued to relive everything. She curled into a ball hugging her knees. Her body shook violently.

She wished he'd just killed her. He had broken her. Sakura just lay there waiting for death. She stayed like that for hours, maybe even days. She'd lost all track of time. She hoped for death at every second. She let the darkness consume her. The door opened. Sakura didn't even move. She knew it was him.

"You always were weak. I guess nothing's changed.", Sasuke smirked.

He grabbed her by her hair, after he didn't get a reaction out of her; he lifted her by it. She just hung motionless. Sasuke looked angrily into her eyes and slapped her hard across the face. She didn't even blink. Sakura gave up. It was over and she no longer cared what he did to her. He felt the anger welling inside him.

Why wouldn't she cry or scream? His eyes were full of hate as he threw her back to the ground. Sasuke raised his foot and stomped down on the kunoichi's gut. His anger grew as he kicked her, and her face showed no signs of being hurt. Sasuke's blood began to boil. He kicked her in the face knocking her head to the side, but still even with blood gushing from her nose nothing. She was as good as dead.

Why would she not react? He knew it had to be killing her. He kicked her hard, one last time hearing a loud crack. Still nothing, what was he going to have to do? His anger raged within him. He came to the realization she was broken. Nothing he did to her now was going to matter. He left her there to die.

Sakura just lay facing the door where she waited and waited, but death still wouldn't come to her. Sasuke had left her there all alone in the dark. He didn't even lock her in. He knew that she wouldn't even try to leave. She was going to die there all alone.

Sasuke felt a slight void inside him. It just wasn't enough. He wished he'd made her suffer more. He wished he'd caused her more pain. He wished he'd made her bleed more. He hated her; with all his being he hated her. He hated everything she was. He hated everything she made him feel. Sasuke kept moving quickly through the trees. He was sure Konoha shinobi would be out looking for her. He escaped.

Her dead eyes stared at the door. Footsteps reached the kunoichi's ears, but her eyes just stared on. It didn't matter to her if they found her. In fact she'd rather not be found like this.

The door opened slowly, flooding the room with light. Her dead eyes just looked at the shinobi before her. It took the shinobi a second to take in the grisly sight of his teammate.

"N-N-Naru….." The kunoichi tried to speak before passing out.

He was frozen. Could this be real? It had to be genjutsu it had to be. He raised his hands together. It was the one time he remembered what to do.

"KAI!"

Nothing changed. Sakura was still lying on the floor naked and covered in bruises and blood. He couldn't keep it together. His heart stopped and it felt like his chest was being crushed. His eyes flowed over with tears as he slowly stepped to her side

The kyuubi slowly began to leak from him. His emotions were out of control. His teammate, lie there motionless.

"SAKURA-CHAAAAAAN!!"

His pained scream echoed through the walls.

Soon he heard footsteps. It was that of the rest of the search team. He tried to call out that he'd found her but he was unable to speak. He removed his jacket and shirt to cover her before they showed up. The footsteps grew louder.

They belonged to team 9, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji. Nothing could have prepared them for what they saw next. Ino was the first to enter the room and stopped dead upon seeing her friend. A pained whimper escaped Ino's lips and her eyes formed heavy streams down her face.

Shikamaru, entered next only to hang his head in a mixture of shame and guilt. He put his hand on Ino's shoulder.

"You have to pull it together."

"O-Okay." she choked through tears as she went to Sakura's motionless form.

Chouji wasn't able to speak as his tears threatened to spill.

Naruto stood turning away from Sakura. His blood was boiling. He wanted to set off and find the bastard who did this to her. The kyuubi slits were present in his eyes and he could feel the kyuubi leaking out. He did nothing to stop it. He was so angry he didn't care if the nine tails took over completely. Someone hurt Sakura. Someone defiled her. He would not stand around while the bastard got away! He clenched his fist tightly. He knew his thoughts were wrong. He knew he should try to keep it under control, but he didn't want to. He stood like that in his internal battle.

Ino looked over Sakura with a grim face. Shikamaru watched Ino struggle to keep it together.

"She's just barely alive."

Ino choked through tears as she tried to desperately heal her. Shikamaru and Chouji left their spots in the doorway and entered the room.

Naruto stood from his spot next to Sakura on the ground. His fists clenched tightly. He looked down at the floor. His tears could be seen on the ground. His body shook with fury. He didn't understand how someone as strong as Sakura could have fallen victim so easily. Why would someone even do this?

Ino didn't give up, though the trauma to Sakura's body was great. She shook her head at the number of injuries. No one dared to speak. Ino's frame shook violently as she desperately tried to revive her friend.

Naruto looked at Ino, and her expression did nothing to aid his emotional turmoil. He screamed in fury. Ino jumped back as the fox began taking over his body. The cloak spilled over his body, and bubbled. The first tail was out, quickly followed by the second. Shikamaru knew that once the fourth tail came out Naruto would lose control completely. He signaled Chouji. They remembered the time Naruto had been taken over by the kyuubi when Sora had betrayed them.

Naruto's pained screams echoed through the darkened place. The sound sent shivers down Ino's spine. She jumped away with fear. Shikamaru and Chouji got into formation to subdue Naruto, which wouldn't be an easy task. Shikamaru only hoped Naruto was doing his best to fight the kyuubi or they would lose.

"Shadow possession jutsu!"

"Partial expansion jutsu!"

Shikamaru's shadow possession jutsu landed Naruto unable to move. Chouji's arms expanded and gripped Naruto's body. Chouji winced as the sinister chakra burned his hands, but he wouldn't give up on his comrade. He fought through the pain and held Naruto still. Ino watched in horror. She'd never seen Naruto lose it like this. He was actually becoming the kyuubi.

He struggled to break through. Rational behavior went to hell. Sakura had been tortured, beaten, and raped. He wanted to kill, the person who did this to her. He screamed as the third tail grew in. This was bad, thought Shikamaru, losing hold over him. Chouji struggled to hold him as well. They tried to snap him out of it. They needed Naruto to fight this.

"Naruto, you've got to calm down! Boy your troublesome..."

Naruto growled in response. Pieces of his skin started to peel away. He battled within himself. He tried his hardest to suppress the kyuubi's chakra. He screamed and fought the Kyuubi with all his might. He was losing to it. His anger was getting the better of him. He couldn't let go of this anger. It overwhelmed him. It was all he could feel was this blood lust.

"Naruto you can do this!!! Come on! We believe in you!" yelled Chouji suddenly.

"Naruto you got to fight this!" yelled Shikamaru straining to speak through the struggle.

He could hear their words of encouragement and it kept him going. He was quickly running out of time, as was Sakura. He fought harder than he'd ever fought against the kyuubi. Ino stood frozen by Sakura watching all this unfold. Her tears rolled down her cheeks in thick streams.

"NARUTO!!! Please! SAKURA NEEDS YOU!" cried Ino.

She needed him. Sakura needed him; he tried with his last bit of strength to suppress the kyuubi.

"S-Sa-ku-ra-chan…."

One by one the tails slowly dissipated. The two withdrew the jutsus to free him. Naruto fell to the ground exhausted. Shikamaru and Chouji gave a slight sigh of relief though it was short lived.

He had lost consciousness. The burns on his body were horrible; he had missing flesh and was bleeding. Ino instructed them to care for Naruto until she could heal him. She mended Sakura's cracked ribs and punctured lung. She tried her best, but it was all she could do for her at this time. Sakura was going to live though.

"We need to get her out of here…"

Ino rummaged through her bag and pulled out a blanket. She started to lift Sakura by herself when Shikamaru stopped her. He lifted Sakura slowly and gently placed her on the blanket. He wrapped her naked body in the blanket. Ino buried her face in Shikamaru's shoulder, in tears. She still hadn't grasped the whole situation until now. He put his arm around her. He helped her to stand up. She knew she had to pull herself together for everyone.

She healed Naruto as much as she could. Her chakra was running dangerously low. What were they going to do? Ino's face was so pale, she couldn't heal his wounds anymore, but she was determined. Shikamaru stopped her.

"His wounds are awful! I need to heal them!"

"You can't risk using anymore chakra!"

She dropped her head to the ground and felt utterly useless, as a shinobi, a medical ninja, and a friend. Chouji put his hand on her shoulder. His eyes full of pain for Sakura, Naruto, and his teammate. His eyes flowed with tears again. This was taking a huge toll on everyone. None of them knew who had done this. They had no idea why this was done! It's a lot harder to deal with something, without knowing the facts, when all you're left with is the aftermath.

Shikamaru urged them to get ready. They had to get back to Konoha as soon as possible. Naruto hadn't regained consciousness yet. Chouji picked up Naruto.

Shikamaru carried Sakura's, motionless body. His eyes full of guilt, as leader of the search he wondered if they'd gotten there sooner if she'd have been saved from all this. He looked at her bruised and bloody face. Words escaped him. What she must have gone through. Shikamaru hadn't felt this way since Asuma had died. He scrunched his eyes to keep the tears from flowing out. He felt helpless. They all did.
