Blood of a Sakura tree
Chapter 4
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I should have updated earlier but I realized what a horrible person I was and that this really was a great story and that I owed it to you to write it for you. I don't know if any of you still read this but I want to dedicate this chapter to Faceless-Killer and theblackrosegothgirl
Fear showed clearly her Jade eyes. She looked up at the laughing monster. The sounds that came out was terrible, and madding. She brought her hands up to her ears in a vain attempt to drown the laughter out, twisting her head from side to side. Reaching out Sasori took her head in his hands cupping it. "Bad mistake, my dear," he said crazily with a glint in his eyes.
"Please, please I'm sorry," she yelped as he grabbed her hair. She was scared and frightened. He looked at her all trace of humanity was gone it was just an empty abyss.
"I have been too lax with you. You will never leave me." He spat out. "You need to be contained before you destroy me. You haunt me, what have you done?"
"I've never done anything, please." She was on the floor begging. He paid her no heed. He began muttering. He dragged her down the hallway. He kicked open the door to his work shop. It was full of puppet parts. Thrusting her down on the table, he tied her hands to the side. "Now you will be mine and only mine. You will be perfect!" he laughed. She cried. A day later he had a new puppet to add to his collection. She would be special and most importantly she would never leave him and she would always obey him. He was in complete control. He would no longer be left behind. With that he left muttering to himself. The puppet's green eyes following him.
Sakura gasped and awoke covered in cold sweat her body shivering and shaking. She glanced at the clock that sat next to her faintly wondering why an S class criminal would care about the time. She then suddenly remembered her dream and began to shudder violently. The nail was still steady in her hand. She had fallen asleep with in her arms. She dropped it on the floor terrified of her dream and Sasori waking up to find it in her hands. She was scared. She wanted to take a shower to cool of her head but Sasori had no bathroom. She was too scared to return to bed so flipped off the covers and ventured outside all the while unaware that a certain redhead's eyes were following her every move.
Sasori P.O.v
Sasori was shocked when he heard the small pitter of the nail fall to the floor. So she had decided to give up on trying to kill him and gaining her freedom? He was amazed any other person in her position wouldn't have hesitated yet she did. She willingly chose not to attack him. The pinkette continued to amaze him. She was a like a beautiful falcon which was majestic yet you never know what it would do. He was enjoying watching her dance. Yes dance, dance for me little cherry blossom.
Sakura P.O.V
Sakura wandered through the hallways unsure of where she was going. She suddenly found herself in an older part of the compound. The hallways were made of wood instead of the strong and sturdy stone and the building looked like it had taken a lot of damage in the spot where she was. Suddenly she heard moans from inside. Her ears perked at the sound. Could it be? Was it really them? She ran forward ignoring the hard wood floor which scraped her pale skin. Before her was a small wooden cage so small it looked as though only a small child would fit in it. She gasped upon seeing who was inside of it. Her hair was all over the place. Ino sat there curled into a fetal position her blond hair, once her pride, scattered around her scantily clad body. The blonde was only wrapped in a small cotton cloth the barley covered her chest or her bottom. She was shivering and Sakura realized how cold it was where. The blond looked up her eyes startled as the familiar shade of pink.
"sa..sakura," is that you the blond called out weakly.
Sakura took a step back for the first time noticing the scars and bruises that littered her smooth skin.
"Ino," she squealed out in fright. Ino's hands tried to reach out to her out-stretched ones through the small wooden sides. Sakura desperately tried to grasp her pale and long fingers. They didn't fit. Ino began to cry. Sakura stared at the blonde unsure of what to say. She suddenly felt guilty noticing the obvious difference in how the two were being treated. Her belly was full and skin still relatively perfect while her friend rotted in a cage. She was pulled out of herself self-centeredness and noticed all the other cages that were around Ino's. Her heart sank there were only five left, obvious proof the other fifteen had been slaughtered. It should have been her and not Ino. She was supposed to protect them to heal them but she couldn't. She felt as though she was watching Naruto's death all over again. Her friends were being hurt and as usual she was powerless. Her hands quivered and she found herself running away. She could feel Ino's eyes trailing her back. There were tears in her eyes that she wished to shed only a single drop fell from her eye onto the palm of her hand. She hated herself for her coldness her indifference to suffering. Damn-it she was a medical ninja she was supposed to heal but all she was, was broken and useless. Not any more though she was going to make herself a promise. Sakura Haruno was going to free Ino and the other girls. She was prepared to give her life. She would not back down, she would free them. With thoughts of determination ro guide her through her darkness she returned to her own personal darkness the man which frightened her yet captured her attention, Sasori. No longer was he her reason to live. She must survive not for herself but for Ino. She pushed open Sasori's door amazed she had found it and returned to the bed.
