Thankyou everybody again for your reviews! It keeps me going with this fic more than you guys could ever imagine so thankyou so much! :3

-- -- -- --

Akihito dragged me by the wrist the whole way home. I started crying on the way back. I tried my hardest not to, but i couldn't stop. I kept sniffling throughout the whole walk home, Akihito repeatedly telling me to shut up with the crying and just suck it up.

We walked back through the slum streets, until finally we reached our shack, my eyes red from the crying. Why exactly was I crying? I was crying in pure fear of what was going to happen to me, and the fact that there wasn't a single damned thing I could do about it.

Akihito kicked the door open with one foot, and pushed me in causing me to stumble over my own feet. Inside there were three men sitting around the small coffe table we had, all playing a game of cards. "You're back finally!" One of them said, looking up. "Ryou couldn't make it, so it's just us here tonight I'm afriad."

3 instead of 4. That softened things up just a little.

Akihito hung his coat up, nodding at all of them. "Sorry I'm a little late - I had to deal with some piece of scum when I went to get her."

I eyed all the men, my face expressionless. They were all poor, so in the same boat as us, but were all wearing the same leering grin as they looked me up and down. I almost couldn't stand it. I turned to the side to face away from them.

Then, to my surprise, Akihito bent down towards the floor and picked up a medium-sized box. He pushed it into my chest. I hastily grabbed it with my hands, so as not to drop it.

"Wh-What's this?" I stuttered, looking up at him.

"This is something very special I saw in town and picked up for you, Sakura." Akihito began. "I would like you to wear it while you serve me and my friends tonight."

I frowned. "B-But the clothes I'm wearing right now are some of my best ones...I don't see why...Ugghhhh...."

I groaned slowly in pain as Akihito pinched my earlobe between his fingers, digging in with his fingernails. "Wear it..." He hissed through gritted teeth "Or there will be consequences..." He pinched my ear hard again with his nails one more time before letting go.

I nodded slowly, looking down at my feet before turning towards the dirty bathroom cubicle we had to change. "So disobediant...We'll have to change that..." I heard one of Akihito's friends mutter as I closed the door behind me.

Once I was inside, I opened up the box and took out the garment, my eyes growing to twice their size. It was a maids outfit. A slutty maids outfit, at that. Holding it out infront of me, I realized it would only come a couple of inches below my underwear. It was overall black, with a white lace trim and white pinafore on the front. It had short, puffed black sleeves, and an oversized bow at the back. It even came with a small white bow to put in my hair, and the front was extremely low cut, exposing nearly all of my chest. I sighed, disgusted as I slipped it on over my body, throwing my previous clothes to the floor. I frowned at how short it was, at how provocative the whole thing was.

Akihito must have stolen this. There's no way he could have bought it, It was far too clean and new.

I walked out of the cubicle wearing the slutty maids outfit Akihito had made me wear, glaring at all the leering, pervy looks they were all giving me.

"There's wine in that box by the corner, and also the food. My friends and I would like a drink before we eat our meal." Akihito said.

So i did what I was told as obediantly as I could. I poured them their wine, and set their food on the table before them. When I wasn't serving them, I would wait patiently behind them for them to give me another order. Every time I bent down to place something on their table, all of their eyes would travel down my low-cut maids dress making me shiver. One of them even spanked me on my butt as I left walked away. I had simply gasped in shock and not done anything.

I was very proud of myself. Not once had I retalliated. I was being used, even being forced to wear a maids outfit, (which Akihito had never done before) yet I did not utter one word of protest the entire time. I hoped Akihito would notice this, and maybe if I was lucky praise me for it later on.

It was coming up to the end of the meal, and I was in high hopes of them being too drunk and tired to stay, and just go home. I didn't even know any of their names, yet I had served them alcohol and food the entire night. The alcohol, I'm certain was stolen, as none of us would ever be able to afford it. They were simply talking now, all of them extremely drunk, their voices slurring as the spoke to each other.

"Hey, Saaaakkuraa..." One of the friends slurred. "Come overrr hereeeee..." I stood back a little way, not wanting to approach him.

"It's okay sakura. just do as he telllsss youuuu." Akihito slurred. I walked over to him silently.

The man then grabbed my waist and pulled me to sit onto his lap. I gasped, not ready for the sudden contact as I was held sitting on his lap. The friend sitting next to him pulled my legs onto his lap and held them there.

"Wh-What do you need?" I said, feeling extremely uncomfrotable, but knowing if I struggled I would simply provoke them more.

"Nooothingg..." He said, breahting heavily. "We just wanteeeddd to tallkkkk to youuu is all..."

"Yeahh" Another said. "Howw areee you these dayssss?"

"Oh I'm good thankyou..." I said politely. The man whose lap I was on then looked directly at my chest. He then brought one hand up to hold one of my breasts while he brought his face closer down my shirt.

I was disgusted. This was going too far already. "Okay, well I think I'll go to bed now..." I said, attempting to get up, and pushing the man's hand off my chest. His grip only locked tighter. The man next to him started to rub his hand up my leg, drawing it ever higher up my leg.

"But we want to talk with you first..." the third one said. The man next to me's hand then went up the skirt of my dress.

Okay, this was enough. I had had it.

"Okay, no I think I'll go now..." I said, pushing harder against his hands. The man locked his grip even tighter around my waist. "No...I want to play a game first..." he persisted.

"No, I'm sorry but I'm too tired to..."

"Sakura." Akihito interrupted. "We only want to play with you...It's just a little game..." He then picked me up out of the man's lap. I was relieved at first, I thought he was saving me from his friend. But boy was I wrong.

Akihito then picked me up and placed me on the bed. 'Akihito...No..." I murmed, attempting to get up, but was pinned down as Akihito's friend climbed ontop of me over the bed. He ripped his shirt of and then started roughly kissing at my neck. "Hey Give me a hand over here..." He said to the other two. To my horror, they then came over to the bed also. One of them reached up my skirt, and stated to pull down my underwear.

Okay, this had definitely gone too far. I didn't care whether I got praised by Akihito or not. I didn't care anymore. I was not going to let this happen under any circumstances.

"No, get off of me!" I said, more firmly this time, pushing at the mans shoulders. I kicked at the other man's hand. He simply slapped me and managed to get my underwear completly off from around my ankles.

"UGGHHH!" I cried out in pain from the slap. "STOP!" I yelled. "I SAID FOR YOU TO GET OFF ME!" I now brought my fists back and thumped at the man's shoulders, hitting him in an attempt to get him off of me.

"SHUT UP!" He yelled, slapping me again.

Then, I was like a wild cat. I made no more restrictions to myself. I thrashed around with my arms and legs, and screamed, kicking and flailing at all of them in a desperate attempt to get them to leave me alone.

Akihito grew extremely angry, and beat me repeatedly in an effort to get me to stop, his blows hitting me in the side of my face and my head. "STOP MOVING, SAKURA!" He yelled. But I didn't listen.

"GET OFF OF ME, RIGHT NOW!" I yelled. "I'M NOT DOING THIS!"

One of the men stood back from the struggling crowd. "She sure is a feisty one..." He muttered. "Akihito, I think we're going to need the rope."

The rope?! What!!!

Akihito nodded, and got a roll of thick string from one of the bags his friend had brought. I thrashed around more, screaming at them all to stop. Akihito then pinned down one of my hands, wrapping the rope around it, and tying my hand to the corner of the bed. He ignored my screams and ignored my flailing. He then passed the rope to his friends, who commenced with tying the rest of me up. Both my feet were tied to the bottom two corners of the bed, and my other hand to the top corner until I was completely bound to the bed.

The tears had come now, and had been there for quite a while.

"YOU BASTARDS!" I screamed at them all. "UNTIE ME NOW! STOP ALL OF THIS!" I sobbed hysterically, unable to control myself.

The man who had been straddling my waist now sat up a little and removed his ragged pants and underwear, leaving his thin, gangly body bare naked ontop of me.

I now simply lay there and sobbed, not bothering to control myself. I could feel the pillow around my head becoming wet from my tears.

"Y-You unbelievable bastards..." I said softly through my crying. "Y-You unbelievable bastards! How could you do this?!!" I said, wrenching at the rope that tied me down in a pitiful attempt to get free.

The man then lifted up my skirt of my dress and positioned himself carefully. "Because we can." He replied maliciously, and without further hesitation, he thrust hard into me.

"AAGGHHHHHH!!!" I screamed out in pain. The man ignored my cries, and pulled out to thrust back in again. Never in my life did I dream it would be so painful, never in my life...

"AAGHH! STOP! IT REALLY HURTS!" I yelled, squirming about underneath him, pulling at the ropes once more. I was ignored.

Akihito stood to the right of the bed, looking down at me and just watching, his face expressionless. I turned my head to the side to look at him, my tear-stained face pleading up towards him.

"Please...Akihito...Please make it stop...I beg of you! Please!!!" I begged, staring right into his eyes, hoping to squeeze just a little sympathy out of him. He simply shook his head and continued watching as I was raped by his friends.

I screamed once more as he thrust in extra hard, so loudly it hurt even my own ears. Akihito became angry and stepped forward to slap me round the face.

"Will you shut up with all of this screaming?!" he shouted, his face growing angry. I couldn't stop screaming though. That was the thing. The immense pain was simply far too much to handle.

Akinito, then obviously sick of my screams, gagged me with a dirty old flannel, pushing every fold of it into my mouth nearly choking me. More tears streamed down my face, my screams dwindling down to muffled groans through my gag.

Once the first man was done with me, then came the next. Number two. He penetrated into me just as hard as the first, his eyes screwing up in ecstasy. And all the time I was screaming through my gag, screaming at the intolerable pain, screaming at how angry I was, screaming at how my life had been reduced to the likes of this...

And all the while Akihito stood there. Just watching. Observing as I was raped, and not doing anything about it, but just watching. Watching, until he finally pushed the others aside and raped me himself.

Akihito kept me tied up all night.

He ignored my pain, repeatedly violating me, untill finally I passed out.

I remember only a few things. I certainly remember the pain. I remember my screaming. I remember how hard the ropes dug into my skin. And then, i remember my vision going black around the edges, my pain fading, and the sound of the rythmic creaking of the bed drowning out. The feeling I recognized as not just passing out, but of pure, sweet relief.

-- --

When I woke up, I was still tied to the bed. My head was killing me, and there was the most unbelievable surge of pain between my legs. Akihito and his friend's work of course.

I groaned slightly, and looked to the left and gasped in surprise. My left hand was free! The rope had come loose and I could now move my left arms about freely.

Akihito lay on his front next to me, The entire duvet covering him without leaving an inch to cover my body. I then realised that I was shaking, and my teeth chattering from the cold.

I used this golden opportunity to act right then. I untied my right hand using my left (with much difficulty) and managed to sit up in bed, then starting on the rope around my legs. On my wrists and ankles, I could see small scratches and lines of dried blood where the ropes had dug in against my flailing and cut in through my skin. I winced. They stung bad, and it hurt to take the rope off them, and took me about 5 minutes to do it with how tightly the had been tied.

I finally stumbled out of bed, gasping at how painfull it was to stand up. My whole body ached all over. I looked down and saw I was still wearing the slutty maids outfit, which I hastily ripped off with disgust, then throwing on a pair of my good old, comfy rags.

Looking back at the bed, I realized there were brown blood stains in the middle of it. I scoffed and turned to the bathroom. No wonder it was so painful, the bastards had made me bleed for gods sake.

I went over to the bathroom to study my reflection in the mirror. My jaw dropped at the sight of myself. My right eye had gone completely black and blue, a huge hideous bruise forming over it. Around my neck and top part of my chest, small red patches lay where I had been bitten and sucked at. My lower lip was cut, and I had another large bruise forming across my cheek. My hair was a mess, and no matter how hard I tried to not think about it, the pain in between my legs was getting to me. I could hardly walk.

Without wanting to, I burst into tears right there and then. Never before in my life had my abuse been this bad before. Not only had I been raped and violated repeatedly by four men, (and god knows how long they kept going after I passed out) but I had been beaten to a pulp too. I collapsed to my knees, feeling weaker than ever, and simply sat there, sobbing into my palms for a few minutes.

With a grubby sleeve, i wiped my tears away from my face, and stood myself up. There was only one person who could make me feel better now. And I didn't even have to think about how angry Akihito would be. I had to see Sasuke. Now.

Opening the door, I saw that dawn was just breaking. It was snowing heavily, and a huge gust of freezing air pounded into me. I ignored it and ran over towards the opposite shack, whimpering at how painful it was for me to run and the cold whipping my body.

Finally arriving there, I knocked on the door of Sasuke's shack firmly, hoping to catch his attention quickly. I wrapped my arms across my chest, and waited patiently in the cold as the snow started collecting on my head and shoulders.

Sasuke opened the door sleepily, obviously having just woken up. His sleepy look instantly left when he saw the sight of me. His eyes widened to twice their original size and he gasped as I looked up at him.

"S-Sakura?! Wh-What in the world happened?!"

"S-Sasuke...Akihito...He..." I stuttered, trying to get my words out properly. Then, I burst into tears right infront of him. I couldn't even speak I was so choked up. Just the contrast of what had happened to me last night to how warm and inviting Sasuke looked made me want to cry even harder. I cried out loud putting my head in my hands, hysterically sobbing.

Two soft, warm arms then wrapped themselves around my body, hugging me into a tight embrace. I looked up at Sasuke as he closed his eyes and held my body close to his. I cried harder, wrapping my arms around him and sobbing into his shirt. We stood there for a few minutes in the snow, sharing eachothers body warmth and enjoying the hug.

"Come on, let's get you inside..." he said after a while., leading me in through the door.

He didn't even need an explanation. He didn't even know what had happened to me. Yet he had taken me in instantly, just like that. I cried harder, not only at the pain, but also at how grateful I was even though I didn't deserve any of his care.

-- -- -- --

GAHH! I feel so mean making all of this happen to her! Jeez, poor Sakura! If Akihito were real I sure would have a lot of fun thinking up ways to hurt him. (does pitiful attempt at evil laugh) MWAHAHAHAHAHA....

Anyhoo, things will definitely start looking up for her, I promise!

Oh, and I have a question for you all also : I'm going to probably update once a week now. Is that okay? As much as I'd love to do it earlier, I have sooo much schoolwork I just can't get it done much quicker than that!

Please review and tell me what you think! Thankyou! :3
