Sakura's POV

After walking for a few minutes I climb to the top of a tree and realise its sunset. Perfect. So now, I have a basic understanding of direction. Based on the way the men carried me I guessed that Konoha had to be to the Southwest from where I am now.

I hop through the trees as for a few hours before I decide it is safe to rest. I settled down in a tree and ate an apple slowly. Afterwards I cried my self into a nightmare filled sleep.

I was in the living room of my old home with my mother, watching a few kids play in the rain. They suddenly took off running though and our burst open. My mom and I screamed, but for different reasons.

The men walked in and stabbed us, and began chuckling. My vision faded and I heard my mother screaming, asking why I had done this.

I woke up screaming and felt a hand on my shoulder. The person it belonged to looked slightly familiar, except for the scar across his nose. He stared into my eyes and I blinked away some tears, as I curled into a tight ball and backed away from him.

Iruka eyed me cautiously before recognition sparked in his eyes. He lept forward to hug me and as he did I tensed but he didn't notice. When he released me he called out two familiar names.

"Kakashi, Kizashi, over here!" Two figures appeared quickly and I was practically strangled in a hug. When my father finally let me go, he held me at arms length. That was when I cringed. Earlier on in the time I was with those... monsters... the spider had gotten fed up with me fighting back and cut my side deeply whenever I fought back. I only had eight cuts, four on each side. The blood had leaked through my shirt and my dad eyed me carefully.

"I will explain later." I said, mainly because I needed time to come up with a fake story to hide the truth from my parents. He nodded.

"Let's have you sit down so we can bandage you up a little before we move out." I cringe at the thought of them seeing the bruises on my skin, but i also knew I needed help. My dad carefully lifted the shirt off my stomach, and a chorus of gasps erupted.

"I know. Please let's just hurry up and go home. I need to get checked for rabies. They had a damned dog that kept scratching and biting me," I said, covering for the deep cuts and little bite marks near my shoulder.

The men nodded and I sat still for them to wrap bandages around my stomach, as well as around my shoulder where I had multiple bite wounds. Then, when they were finished my dad tried to gather me in his arms. I knew I would be to heavy for his old frame though.

"I am well enough to run dad. Let's g-"

"No, we don't know how severe your injuries are. I will carry you." I was shocked as the stoic Kakashi picked me up and took off into the trees, Iruka and Kakashi following silently.

Somewhere along the way I had fallen asleep. I awoke suddenly when a loud creaking noise filled my ears. I began screaming and struggling against the arms around me, until I caught sight of who held me.

My father stared down at me and shook his head, seeming to question me silently. Again I told him to be patient. He nodded and began walking again, and I could see the stunned faces of my fathers teammates over his shoulder.

I allowed my head to loll on it as he picked up the pace to a run again when I coughed up a little blood. He burst through the doors of the hospital demanding for a woman named Tsunade. The nurses all look stunned until one shook her head and ran out of the room for a second. She came back with a gurnie just as another ran to find the lady my father asked for.

"Iruka, please go get my wife." Iruka nodded curtly, watching my father lay me down gently before leaving. I began coughing furiously, and the lady who had brought out the gurnie stood beside me.

"We have to get her to a room quickly." With that I was rushed down the hall.

As soon as I was in a room they shut my father and Kakashi out as the lady from the hall came over to me. She opened her mouth to speak the same time the door opened.

"Everyone out, except for Shizune!" A commanding voice said.
