Chapter 6: The Broken Team

Anbu and Healers finally arrived at the house and the Anbu took the parents into custody. The old man was giving them a report of all the abuse done to Sakura. The Healers carefully unhooked Sakura from her chains as they took her to the hospital. Team 7 rushed to the hospital too as they didn't trust themselves around Sakura's parents. In the Hokage's tower an Anbu was informing the Hokage on the situation.

"Sir, we found her beaten and chained to the ceiling in a locked room, the healers have also found old scars on Sakura from past abuse. An old man from across the street gave us the details of the abuse that he saw. Hokage from the evidence we gathered Sakura has been abused since she was five years old," The Anbu stated to the Hokage. The Hokage looked at the Anbu and could see this affected him too as the Anbu had his fists clenched. The Hokage dismissed the Anbu as he put his head in his hands. He sighed and looked out the window, a tear rolling down his face. Back at the hospital Team 7 was in the waiting room waiting for the healer to tell them that Sakura will be alright. Naruto sat on the ground leaning against the wall not wanting the comfort of a chair. He had his head in his arms, crying and praying that Sakura will be alright. Sasuke stood next to Naruto leaning against the wall, his hair fell in front of his eyes hiding the tears that he couldn't control. Kakashi stood next to Sasuke but he wasn't leaning against the wall. The picture of Sakura's bloodied state kept flashing through their minds. Kakashi was anger at himself as he punched the wall. The boys didn't even flinch at him.

"It's my fault, I knew something was wrong but I did nothing. I'm supposed to be her sensei; I'm supposed to protect her!" Kakashi yelled out the last part as he punched the wall again.

"It's all our fault, we noticed something was wrong but we never asked her or try to find out what was wrong. We were too caught up in ourselves, or other things to notice her pain that she was hiding away," Naruto stated.

"Your right, I was too caught up in my revenge to notice her pain," Sasuke whispered out. Sakura's voiced rang out in their heads.

"I'm Sakura Haruno,"

"I'll protect you with my life,"

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine,"

"You can do it, I believe in you," An image of Sakura smiling also went through their heads.

Naruto let out a frustrated scream as he got up and was about to stalk out of the hospital but Sasuke grabbed him knowing what he was going to do.

"Naruto you can't go and kill them, no matter how much they deserve it. The Anbu will take care of it, we need to stay here for Sakura," Sasuke growled out to Naruto. Naruto slumped against Sasuke defeated knowing that Sasuke was right as they both went back to the same position as before. A healer made their way to the group.

"Team 7, Sakura is not in very good condition, we don't know if she will make it. No let me rephrase that, she has a very slim chance that she will survive. You can see her now," The healer said as he walked away from the heartbroken group. Naruto who stood when the healer came in collapsed to the ground, pounding his fist on the floor.

"No! Sakura can't die, she just can't die. She's my friend, my very first friend," Naruto screamed as he kept punching the ground. Kakashi grabbed Naruto's arms to stop the boy from hurting himself. The team walked to the room where Sakura was. They saw her there sleeping wrapped in bandages. Naruto sat down on a chair on Sakura's right and Sasuke sat down on a chair on Sakura's left. Kakashi leaned against the wall watching his broken team. Naruto grabbed Sakura's right hand as Sasuke grabbed her left hand.

"Sakura you can't die, we need you Sakura. Life wouldn't be any more fun without you," Naruto whispered out to her.

"Sakura I will not see your name etched on a gravestone, you can't die on us. What about your promise to become a stronger ninja, if you die then you broke your promise to yourself," Sasuke said angrily as his eyes glazed over with unshed tears. Kakashi looked away from the scene as his heart clenched at the sight. The door was slammed open and Ino appeared in the room looking out of breath. Her eyes landed on Sakura and she knew it was true.

"No!" Ino yelled as raced forward to shake Sakura awake but Naruto grabbed her.

"Come on Sakura get up, you can't die on me. Sakura I'm sorry for all the rude things I've said just please don't die," Ino yelled out brokenly as she collapsed against Naruto crying for her friend. Visiting hours were over as the team and Ino left Sakura's room, Ino was sleeping with tears still running down her face as Naruto carried her. They left the hospital as they dropped Ino off and went home to cry alone.

The next morning came and Team 7 minus Sakura headed to the hospital. They met up with Ino on the way; they finally made it to the hospital no one was talking to each other. They walked up to the reception desk and asked if they could go to room 186, Sakura's room.

"I'm sorry but the person in that room died early this morning, I'm terribly sorry," The receptionist said as she went back to her papers. The group's heart clenched in horror as one thing passed through their minds.

Sakura's dead….

"…A statue stands in a shaded place
An pink-haired angel girl with an upturned face
Her name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that Konoha forgot..." (Concrete Angel by Miranda McBride)
