Kowareta hana (Broken Flower)

So I've decided this story will be a mixture of Sakura's Turn and Fear me I feel like the plot will go in a better direction that way and some of the key elements of both stories will fit well together. I will be taking out the part when Sakura joins the Akatsuki because I have an even better plan for her.

'Junsei'

'Thoughts'

"Memories"

"Talking"

"Other"

Chapter 2

The petals begin to wilt

On the outside it can seem like you have it perfectly together all the while you're broken inside. The night she spoke was only the beginning the first pillar holding me together had been broken. With it went my ability to love anyone or anything. Being the naive child I was made it so I wouldn't be able to see the lies that were being fed to me. Slowly but surely I continued to play into her hands never noticing that with each pillar that fell an important part of me was being replaced.

Normal P.O.V

Sakura was found the next day by Kotetsu and Izumo while they were doing their morning rounds. When they woke her up she jumped up looked toward the gates.

"He's gone" she said out loud, Kotetsu and Izumo both looked at each other and then back at her.

"You're the girl from Kakashi's team right?" Izumo asked her

"What no I thought Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were the only ones on Kakashi's team?" Kotetsu asked with a confused look on his face. Izumo slapped him on the back of the head.

"You idiot she's the one who fought Inoichi's daughter in the chunin exams."Izumo stated. Kotetsu rubbed the back of his head

"You'd think I'd remember a girl with pink hair. Though the day of the chunin exams was a hectic day, I do remember Sasuke's fight with that Gaara character oh and Naruto's fight with Neji Hyuga no one can forget those fights."

Izumo laughed "Yea those we're the highlight of the exam's" as the two continued to talk Sakura felt as if they were continuously stabbing into her with a knife, on the inside she was faring too well either it felt as though her mind was slowly ripping itself apart.

Sakura's Mind

'Weak'

'Weak'

'Weak'

'Weak'

'Weak'

'Weak'

'Weak'

'Weak'

Over and over again that single word continued to play in my head. I couldn't even hear what Kotetsu and Izumo were saying anymore.

'They didn't even know I was on Kakashi-sensei's team. They only knew of Sasuke and Naruto' I thought to myself.

"You're weaker than Naruto and you're always dragging the team down we're always trying to save you and how do you repay us with your useless crying and whining." Sasuke's words rang in my head.

'You're just bringing the team down'

'Weak…..'

"I thought Naruto and that Sasuke guy were on Kakashi's team?"

'Insignificant….'

.

.

.

.

'Weak…'

.

.

'Weak.'

.

.

.

"Poor Sakura... nobody even bothers to give you a second thought do they?" I felt Junsei wrap her arms around my neck hugging me from behind. I could feel that something was different in my mind I felt another presence and it wasn't Junsei.

"Maybe we should kill them…" Another voice in me spoke this one was darker. I could feel Junsei slowly disappear. I turned around to see myself except her hair was a dark maroon color and her eyes were a deep red. She gave me a sickly sweet smile

"Let's make them remember us Sakura...I bet if we shove our kunai down their throats they'll never forget our face…"

I just stared at her "No that's not what I want I don't want to hurt anybody!" I covered my ears and closed my eyes trying to drown out her voice.

"The fact that you try to care for someone besides yourself is what makes you weak."

"Isn't that what your precious Sasuke-kun said?" Arms falling to my sides I opened my eyes to look at her and she was now in front of me. She placed her hand on my cheek and caressed it tenderly.

"Let us help you...we'll fix you...remember Sakura…"

Outside of Sakura's mind

As Kotetsu and Izumo continued to talk sakura slowly reached for her kunai in her pouch.

"Make them remember us…"

"Kill...them…"

Holding a blank expression Sakura continued pulling out her Kunai. At this time she could hear the laughter and voices of the two.

"Kill..."

.

.

"Kill..."

"Kill..." she said out loud the two stopped talking and turned towards her.

"Hey are you alright? You've been staring out into space for a minute there." Izumo said to her placing a hand on her shoulder. Sakura looked down at her hand to see there was no kunai but she had been digging her nails into her palm so blood was dripping down from her hand.

She looked up at him 'What was I just thinking?' she asked herself shaking her head.

"I'm sorry I'm fine but I need to go see the Hokage Sasuke left the village I think it has something to do with that orochimaru." she said their facial expressions changed and they both stared at her with an intense look.

"Shit why didn't you tell us as sooner!" Kotetsu shouted he turned to run and Izumo started running after him. Turning to look at Sakura he yelled back.

"Follow us Tsunade-sama is going to want a full report on everything you know!"

Sakura looked down at her bloody palms.

'What's wrong with me' she thought before she took off after Kotetsu and Izumo.

At the Hokage's tower

Normal P.O.V

"That's what happened Hokage-sama" Sakura said she had just finished explaining all that had happened starting from the moment they met Orochimaru in the forest of death to the events of the night before.

"It's alright Sakura there was nothing you could do." Tsunade tried to reassure the girl not knowing that it was only hurting her more.

'If it was Naruto who confronted him and not me he would have fought tooth and nail to stop him, while all I did was cry like I usually do.' she thought to herself

"The most important thing now is we get a team together to retrieve Sasuke. Izumo get Kakashi and have him report to me ASAP and Kotetsu you get Naruto he needs to know." she told them in a stern voice.

They both bowed their heads "Hai!" they replied before disappearing in a puff of smoke

"You're dismissed Sakura." she told the pink haired girl standing in front of her. Sakura also bowed and turned to leave.

"There wasn't anything you could do Sakura, you did the best you could to stop him sometimes when someone has set their mind on something it can be hard to change their way of thinking."

Sakura stopped at the door 'she's wrong if we were stronger we could have simply broken his legs, then he wouldn't have gone anywhere.. .'

'Stop…'

'She just told us if we were stronger we could have stopped him'

'That's not what she said'

'You're being naive again Sakura...being like that is what's going to get you killed'

"SHUT UP!" Sakura yelled she then realized she was hyperventilating and that she had also just told the Hokage to shut up. Not looking back at Tsunade she apologized and ran as fast as she could out of her office slamming the door behind her. Before running out of the hokage tower she ran into someone which ended up knocking her down. Looking up to apologize to the person she was met with a frail old man who was walking with a cane. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged he also had an x shaped scar on his chin. He wore a white shirt, with a blackish grey robe over the top of it covering his feet, to just over his right shoulder which also covered his whole right arm.

He looked down at Sakura and she felt as if he was staring straight into her mind, he raised an eyebrow at her. She then scurried to get up and bow to him.

"I'm sorry I was in a rush, I'll be going now" she apologized and ran out of the tower.

He watched as she ran out and down the street until she turned a corner and he couldn't see her anymore. He scoffed "So that's the body she decided to take?"

Turning and walking to Tsunade's office he smirked "That damn Ninko I should have never released her" he said right before he opened the door to Tsunade's office and then closed it.

With sakura

Sakura's P.O.V

I ran until I thought I had enough distance between me and the tower. Stopping to catch my breath I looked around to see that I was now in an alleyway leaning against the wall I slid down. I looked down at my trembling hands my eyes started to become blurry so I blinked a few times, opening my eyes I found that my hands were now covered in blood. Shocked I jumped up looking around I was sitting in a puddle of blood, the heads of all the rookie 9 laid around me I started to back up. The puddle of blood started to bubble up it soon started to take a shape, it was me.

Terrified I started gasping for air, the other me smiled and picked up Sasuke's head giving him a kiss. "We'll be together forever Sasuke-kun" she then picked up Naruto's head and held them both close to her chest.

"It's ok now I told both of you I'd protect you. Nobody can hurt you when you're like this... isn't that right Sa..ku..ra.." she purred out

I covered my mouth with my hand 'I'm going to throw up' I thought as I tried to back up even more but was soon stopped by something else. I turned around to see it was Junsei feeling relieved I lunged to her crying into her chest.

"Junsei I'm so confused what is this?" I asked her, when she didn't say anything I looked up at her only to be horrified by the fact that her skin was melting off her face. I pushed her away and she reached out with her now boney hand trying to grab me.

"Why didn't you let me help you Sakura. I just wanted to make you stronger so you can protect your friends..." She said I stepped back a little more to find that I was now standing in the puddle of blood. Then before I could do anything hands shot up and grabbed my legs pulling me down into the blood. Looking around all the heads of the rookie 9 were now staring at me.

"Weak..."

"You couldn't even protect us Sakura"

"You can't even protect yourself"

"You couldn't even stop Sasuke from leaving"

"All you do is cry"

"You're so weak"

"Always bringing the team down"

"You're weak!"

"Useless!"

"Go die!"

I couldn't take it anymore they just kept going and going and going and going before I was fully submerged I shut my eyes and screamed "STOP IT, JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Sakura calm down it's me Ino" I opened my eyes to see Ino kneeling down shaking me. I frantically looked around seeing I wasn't covered in blood and there wasn't any heads laying around I looked back at her.

"Ino?" I asked she nodded

"You must have been having a bad dream. Why are you passed out in the alleyway behind the shop?" she asked helping me up

"I...I don't know I don't remember where I was going." I stated to her she tilted her head

"Were you maybe going to go see Naruto and everyone else off?" she asked I looked at her with a puzzled look.

"What do you mean see them off? Where is Naruto going?" I asked grabbing her shoulders. She stared at me with a confused look.

"Tsunade-Sama assigned Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji and Kiba a mission to retrieve Sasuke-kun."

"WHAT?Where are they now? Have they left yet?!"

"No they should be at the gates by now. Why Sakura I thought you knew?" she asked I shook my head

"I have to catch up to them before they leave" I said running off. I heard Ino's shouting voice but I didn't hear what she said I was too focused on getting to the gates.

It didn't take me long to get to the gates, I had made it just in time they were talking to Lee. I ran up to the group and stopped.

"Sakura-chan what are you doing here?" Naruto asked I looked up at him

"I'm going with you." I simply stated Naruto then made a weird face and scratched the back of his head.

"Well uhh you see about that Sakura-chan uhhh the thing is we kinda ummm..." He said not looking me in the eyes. There was a sigh and Shikamaru stood next to Naruto

"What I think Naruto is trying to say is that Tsunade-sama assigned the five of us to retrieve Sasuke we are the only ones cleared to leave the village if we bring you along with us that will be going against direct orders that were given to us from the hokage herself." He replied

'He's lying Sakura' I could hear Junsei's voice in the back of my head

'I'll show you what's truly on their minds' she said, it was like time had stopped behind each of them was a shadow version of themselves

Naruto- "we can't bring Sakura-chan with us she'll get hurt, I don't think I can protect her and bring Sasuke back at the same time dattebayo!"

Shikamaru- "This is so troublesome I can't take care of a whiny girl and hold this team together all at once."

Kiba- "I've only seen Sakura fight once against Ino and that wasn't even a real ninja fight, and now she wants to come with us on a real mission HA that's not happening."

Neji- "Allowing Haruno-san to go with us isn't going to be a good idea she doesn't have the right skill set in order to keep up with us."

Choji- "I still can't believe she fought against Ino and tied with her when Ino is clearly the strongest of the two of them, and now she wants to tag along with us on important mission? That's not going to happen"

.

.

'You see Sakura dear this is what they really think of you, they think just what Sasuke and Tsunade think. That you're just a weak frail girl who only knows how to cry'

I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth "How dare they belittle us, when all OF THEM ARE JUST ants who can be stepped on at any minute" I could hear the other me speak that's when something in me snapped and I couldn't think anymore I just stared blankly at Naruto.

He was smiling as he held his thumb out in front of me "I'll bring Sasuke back for you Sakura. Remember I'll protect you dattebayo!" He shouted before they all turned and ran off out of Sakura's sight.

Normal P.O.V

Sakura stood there staring at the place that Naruto and the rest of them had just been. Her eyes flickered from their usual emerald green color to a deep red. She then lowered her head her bangs covering her face.

"Weak?"

.

.

"Weak..."

.

.

"Weak!"

.

.

"Weak?"

Her voice kept switching back and forth she would ask herself then she would tell herself until she stopped and looked up feeling something break in her she looked up to the sky, then her shoulders began to move.

"Hehe...Hahe...haha…...HEEHHHEEEHAAAAAHHAAA" She gave a crazed laugh grabbing her head she continued to give an insane like laugh, Then suddenly stopped and looked back out to the road that Naruto and them had run down.

"Fine if that's what you all think then let me fix myself I promise that I'll be like a new person HEHEHEHEAHAHAHAHAHAEHEHEAHA" she said turning walking to her home. As she walked her eyes continued to switch from green to red over and over again until finally her left eye was green and her right was a deep red.

End of Chapter 2
