Chapter Four: Team 7 and New Teammate!
While Sakura was knocked out and sound asleep in that mansion. In Konoha, Team 7 that day were going to get their new team member and then they are going to find out that Sakura was no longer in the village also what had happened to her while she was in the White Room.
Kakashi:
He stared at the memorial stone his heart heavy with sadness and regret. His thoughts were on his latest decision that he made and he was regretting it.
'Rin, if you were here I know you would smack me and lecture on how I made a wrong choice,' Kakashi thought to himself as he stared at Rin's name. His mind drifted to Sakura and felt guilt weigh in his heart.
'Obito, I failed. I didn't see the ramifications of my decision on kicking Sakura off the team and getting her demoted to civilian. All I thought was that I didn't want the same thing happening to the two boys that happened to me, I just thought of their feelings and how that they had so much tragedy in their lives they didn't need Sakura dying on them because she couldn't protect herself. I never considered how Sakura would feel about this,' Kakashi thought as he closed his eyes and he could picture Rin and Obito frowning at him with disappointment in their eyes. His mind drifted to when he found Sakura as she was about kill herself, if he didn't decide to visit her at that moment she would have committed suicide. Maybe though he could of handled it a different way than what he did but he wasn't thinking, all he saw when he found her under her blanket with a Kunai to her throat, was his father. He couldn't let her kill herself like his father did, so he decided to get her put in a room until she could calm down. He only visited her once in that room and he still wasn't thinking well or logically so he ignored her lies about the doctor and left the room. Now though he's thinking clearly and his mind is no longer stuck in the past of his father and his teammates and with sudden guilt and dread he now realized that Sakura might have been telling the truth. The signs were all there he just chosen to ignore it at the time only thinking about himself and not her, he was in denial. He shook his head there was no time to analyze his decisions, he had to get Sakura out of the room and away from that doctor. Anger and shame consumed him as he took off towards the Hokage Tower to tell him that one of the doctors may be raping the patients namely Sakura. He ran fast and in record time he was in the Hokage's office startling the Hokage.
"What is wrong, Kakashi," Sarutobi asked curiously.
"Hokage-sama, I believe that Doctor Yale is raping his bound patients mainly Sakura Haruno," Kakashi said, his voice hard. The Hokage sighed in sadness.
"It seems you have reached that conclusion too late Kakashi," Sarutobi said sounding very old and tired.
"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked, and he hoped that Sakura was alright.
"Yale has been founded out by his brother, and he showed the evidence with witnesses' accounts from the patients that Yale was raping them. He has been taken in and awaits his punishment," The Hokage said to Kakashi.
"What about Sakura?" Kakashi asked him.
"Yale's brother took Sakura out of that room and has placed her somewhere away from Konoha, he won't tell us where though," The Hokage said with a deep sigh. Kakashi felt anger that the guy just placed Sakura somewhere out in the dangerous world where they couldn't protect her.
"How are we supposed to protect her now? She could get killed out there," Kakashi growled a bit.
"He said that we have destroyed that girl enough, she was broken and he was given her a chance to live and not be hurt again and again by the people that say their protecting her," The Hokage said sternly. Kakashi felt his anger leave him and shame once again filled him up. He understood, and he turned around leaving the Hokage's Office his heart heavy.
"Gomenasai, Sakura," He whispered out to the wind, hoping that she was alright now.
Naruto:
He sat on top of the Hokage's Mountain looking out into the village; his sparkling blue eyes were filled with sadness. Sakura's last words to them rang through his head playing over again and again.
"I HATE ALL OF YOU! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"
He clenched his fist; Sakura hated him in all the years he has known her she never said she hated him just called him annoying sometimes. Now, she truly hated him for what he has done and he lost one of his friends just because he was hard-headed in trying to protect her. After what happened with Sasuke in the Wave mission all he could think about is Sakura ending up like that but truly dead not like Sasuke, who was still alive. He couldn't let that happen and the only way he thought was that to take her away from being a ninja and have her stay in Konoha where she would be safe. She wasn't strong like him and Sasuke, and he feared that neither of them would be able to save her in time when she needed it. He was foolish and only thinking about himself and how he needed to protect his precious person but in doing so instead of protecting Sakura, he broke her. He could see it in her eyes, betrayal, pain, and the fire in her eyes dying out. Then he heard that she tried to kill herself and Kakashi-sensei got there just in time, he tried to visit her but he wasn't allowed too. There was nothing he could do to fix his mistake; all he could do now was apologize to her when she gets out of the Hospital. Naruto sighed as he looked towards the Hokage's tower, he frowned and saw Kakashi-sensei talking to the Hokage and he seemed rather urgent. It could be about Sakura, so Naruto decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. Naruto stood up and stealthily moved towards the Tower and stood outside the window hearing in on the conversation. He was shock, Sakura was raped in that room and now she was gone out of Konoha that guy not telling them where she was. Naruto took off and ran away from the tower, tears falling down his face and deep sadness, guilt, and shame filled him. He failed in protecting his most precious person, and in turn hurt her beyond repair.
"Gomenasai, Sakura-Chan," Naruto whispered out as he continued running.
Sasuke:
Sasuke was walking down the road deep in thought about his ex-teammate Sakura. He should be happy that the little burden was gone and now she couldn't get in his way of getting stronger. She was nothing but a fan girl anyways that always bugged him, and looked at him with loving emerald eyes. Yet he wasn't happy, and felt a bit hollow after Sakura told them she hated them. No longer were those emerald eyes looking at him with love instead now looked at him with hatred. Then he heard that she was trying to kill herself after what they done to her and he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Flashes of Sakura lying there dead with blood flowing around her, and her lifeless eyes staring up at him filled his mind. He shook his head, and growled he needs to stop thinking about her, she was nothing to him. When the other two suggested to get her off the team and demoted to a civilian, he said nothing but they took it as a yes from him too. He didn't object nor did he accept it either, he did nothing about it. Why should he care about what happens to Sakura? She wasn't his friend or anything yet deep down in his heart that he ignores all the time, he didn't want her off the team. On the Wave mission when he heard her scream, deep fear filled him as he thought of her getting hurt or worse dying and that pushed him to take care of Haku to get to Sakura and kill who ever tried to hurt her. Though it didn't work out as he almost died and was unconscious throughout the rest of the fight not being able to protect Sakura anymore. When he woke up to Sakura crying over him, he felt relief that she was alright even though he pushed it aside and chosen to ignore it. Without him realizing it, Sakura wormed her way through his barriers and attached herself to his heart even though how much he fought it. She wasn't really a fan girl as he found out, she deeply cared for him and it wasn't because of his looks or his name. Sometimes she was annoying, but it wasn't a bad annoying he grew to tolerate it when she was like that. Sakura reminded him of his mother a little bit, with how warm and cheery she is. He should've protested, because really she wasn't all the way safe in Konoha either, how was he supposed to protect her if she wasn't in his sight and on the team. How was he supposed to tolerate Naruto without trying to kill him, because Sakura kept him back from strangling the Dobe but now she was gone. Sasuke sighed and ran his hand through his hair; he was stupid and didn't think things through as he was in denial with his feeling as he didn't want to become attached to no one, because of his brother. Dammit his brother was right about one thing, he was foolish. Sasuke grunted as he felt someone crash into him sending him to the ground.
"What the hell, Naruto!" Sasuke growled out but then looked to see that the Dobe was crying.
"S-Sakura, was raped and now she's gone out of Konoha!" Naruto wailed out as he then took off again before Sasuke could say anything. Sasuke felt deep hot rage fill him, his sharigan activating in his anger. Someone hurt Sakura and he was going to kill them in the most painful way possible. He knew that Konoha wasn't safe either; he should've done something now it was too late. He felt hate starting to grow inside him for his teammates, even though he didn't realize it.
"I'll kill the guy that hurt you Sakura," Sasuke growled out.
Team 7:
A couple of days passed by and everyone was now calmed and knew all the information that happened to Sakura. Doctor Yale was now dead, as he mysteriously died in his cell but no one really cared who killed him but one dark haired teen was satisfied that the person that hurt Sakura was now dead. They were supposed to get their new team member today; the boys didn't want a new one though they just wanted Sakura back. Naruto and Sasuke stood on the red bridge waiting for Kakashi to come back with their new teammate; they hoped that Kakashi was late in getting there. Soon though they could see their sensei walking up to them with a girl by his side. Kakashi stopped at the red bridge, and faced the two boys.
"Naruto, Sasuke this is your new teammate Lyn Asumee," Kakashi introduced her.
"HI, it's very nice to meet you," Lyn said smiling cheerfully. The boys looked at Lyn, she had long brown hair, brown eyes, she was also short like Naruto, and she was wearing a black tight tank top with black capris.
"Nice to meet you, Lyn," Naruto said smiling at her.
"Hn," Sasuke grunted, not caring about this new girl that looked at him with lust in her eyes. He didn't like her, and didn't think he would ever like this new girl. Naruto on the other hand thought that this girl was really nice and liked how she didn't look at him like he was an annoying pest.
"Alright, let's get to training," Kakashi said smiling at them. During, training Lyn was able to keep up with them and able to hold her own ground no needing to be protected. She was starting to grow on Team 7 and they were finding themselves liking her well most of them were starting to like her. Sasuke on the other hand was starting to get irritated with the girl and his team. Did they not see that Lyn was nothing but a fake anyways and a lusting fangirl for Sasuke. Of course not they were all fucking stupid in the head, and Sasuke is the only one with a working brain on this team.
Naruto though liked Lyn because she complimented him when he did very well and saw how strong he was. It was definitely a change, and Naruto was slowly seeing that it was a good change.
Sasuke growled as he saw the look on the Dobe's face, the idiot was getting a crush on Lyn and Sasuke wanted to punch Naruto. Soon training ended and Kakashi offered them to get ramen.
"Yes!" Naruto cheered happily at the prospect of getting ramen.
"I love ramen, it's the best," Lyn said smiling at Naruto, while sneaking glances at Sasuke.
"Really? That's great!" Naruto said happy that someone else on the team loved ramen like he did.
"Hn," Sasuke said turning around, stuffing his hands in his pocket while walking away.
"Teme! Where are you going?" Naruto asked.
"I have better things to do than eat ramen with you," Sasuke said hiding the venom in his voice. Kakashi sighed; he wished that Sasuke would open up to Naruto and Lyn. The boy might choose a darker path, and he had to show Sasuke that it was not the right way to go.
Sasuke walked home, his hair covering his eyes and his fist clenched in his pockets.
'Did they just forget about Sakura, or did they think Lyn was better than her? How dare they try to replace Sakura with that broad? Lyn was not better than Sakura, and she will never be,' Sasuke thought to himself, mad that the other team members were so happy with Lyn and was blinded that the girl was a fake.
'I will never accept Lyn as my teammate, that right is only reserved for Sakura and when I find her. I'm dragging that pink haired girl back to where I could keep her in sight," Sasuke vowed to himself, no longer able to hide how he felt anymore. He decided that having one bond wouldn't hurt him, and will push him to become stronger. Sasuke stopped remembering his brother's words that he had to kill his best friend to get stronger. No, Sakura wasn't his best friend. He didn't know what Sakura was to him yet as he wasn't good with feelings anymore, but she was not his best friend. He will get stronger another way anyways; he didn't need his brother's advice to get stronger. Sasuke continued walking back home, his thoughts now on how to get stronger.
