The confessions of a broken heart

"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)"
"Sakura, I don't have the means to take care of you," Sasori said.
"Dad…I love you," Sakura whispered. "Please…"
"Sakura, no," Sasori said.
"Why?" Sakura asked.
"Because…I just won't do it!" Sasori said, walking away. Sakura ordered another drink as she saw her father go and sit with the rest of the Akatsuki. Dei, Momo, and Mizuki came over to her.
"Hey…we're sorry. We did everything we could We even got grounded…for a month," Momo said, sulking.
"It's OK…Hey, Bartender! More tequila and you better bring the bottle!" Sakura yelled as the bartender came over with a bottle.
"Are you sure you're 21?" the bartender asked.
"Of course I'm 21! I had a bad day and I want tequila!" Sakura yelled grabbing the whole 2 liter bottle of straight tequila. Dei looked at her and flinched. Tequila really tasted bad and she was about to down the whole bottle.
"Hey…we all know you're very depressed but should you be drinking this much? You'll turn into an alcoholic," Dei said.
"Who cares? My life sucks! Why not drink?" Sakura asked as she finished the whole bottle. She was officially drunk. "And maybe I should start doing drugs! At least I wouldn't know how bad my life was!" Sakura slurred. "Bartender! Give me one of your strongest drinks!" Sakura yelled to him. He shook his head and did as she asked. Sakura drank it in no less than a minute and it was pretty big. She saw the rest of the Akatsuki come over there.
"Dei, Momo, Mizuki, were you all drinking?" Deidara asked.
"No, it was her," Mizuki answered.
"There's a whole tequila bottle empty, un!" Deidara yelled.
"And she drank it. Do we look drunk to you?" Dei asked.
"Well…if it isn't Sasori's kid. Right, Sasori-danna, un?" Deidara asked, smirking. Sasori glared at him. Sakura glared at him.
"Bartender! More beer!" Sakura yelled and everyone except her father sweatdropped. He just sighed. He'd have to get through to her the hard way. The bartender came over.
"You are definitelynot 21. You look too young!" the bartender argued…again.
"I totally am!" Sakura argued, grabbing the beer. Sasori took it away from her.
"She's not. She's 16," Sasori said. Sakura glared at him.
"Give me my fucking beer!" Sakura yelled.
"Sakura, get up. I'm taking you home," Sasori said, pulling Sakura up by her arm, ignoring her screams of pain. "I'll meet you guys back at the base. I just have to take care of her," Sasori said.
"Need explosives, un?" Deidara asked. Sasori glared.
"No. I'm not going to kill her. I'm taking her back to her house," Sasori said, dragging his drunken daughter out of the bar.
"You know what!" Sakura slurred, looking at the road as she was dragged along.
"What?" her father asked.
"What you said to me was hurtful!" Sakura said "I mean, who says that to their daughter? Any of it? 'You're not my daughter.' Any of it! It was so hurtful!" Sakura kept on rambling until he got to her house.
"You're not going to remember any of this tomorrow so I guess I'll just say it. Sakura, I still love you and nothing you could ever do would change that. It hurts me to see what you're doing to yourself and I would let you live with me but…I don't think it would be in your best interest. You understand, right?" Sasori asked.
"Aw…I LOVE YOU, DADDY!" Sakura yelled, hugging him, tightly.
"You're drunk, Sakura. Let's get you inside to your bed," Sasori said dragging her into the house. They passed Ayumi and Sasori said a curt 'Hello.' Ayumi spit her coffee out and gaped at the spot her had stood a second ago.
Sasori took Sakura up to her room and laid her on her bed. He tucked her in and looked at her face. She was half-asleep and he knew she'd have a headache tomorrow. He grabbed a glass of water and some aspirin and laid them on the desk next to her.
"Night, Daddy," Sakura whispered as she rolled over. He smiled.
"Night, Princess," and with that, he left.
Sakura woke up with a throbbing headache. She covered her mouth as she ran to the bathroom and threw up everything in her stomach. After her throw up session she thought of a few things she could do…The girls were grounded. Ino was dead. It was her day off from the hospital. Naruto was on a mission. Ion wasn't home (thank god). Her mom was at the hospital working. Drinking sounded nice.
Sakura took two aspirin and drank some water before going downstairs and drinking anything considered alcohol in the house…
It was six and Sakura was walking up, drunkly, picking up every beer bottle/can and every shot glass. She threw the bottles and cans out and put the shot glasses in the dishwasher. Then she went upstairs and started to take a hot shower with lots of soap. After the shower she brushed her teeth so her mom wouldn't be able to tell she was drinking. During her whole day of drinking she had cried and it now showed…God, Sakura hated crying. It showed weakness.
Sakura changed into her pajamas and quickly put her alcohol reeking clothes into the washing machine and turned it on. Sakura sat on her bed and cried some more. Was this what she was reduced to? An alcoholic? Life really sucked sometimes.
And so she spent the next few weeks doing the same thing. Drinking and crying. She even asked for time off work so she could sit at him, drinking and crying, and feeling sorry for herself. She didn't have a caring boyfriend whom she loved, also. Her step-father beat her. Her father didn't want her and her mother was pregnant. Joy…love really sucked. No one to share it with. Sakura sighed and got off of the couch. She had no idea why she was doing this but she was. She called a guy she knew earlier and that guy said he'd meet her in a dark alley in half an hour. Sakura walked out of the house and to the alley he said he'd meet her in. She saw him right away…he was the only other person in the alley.
"Got the cash?" the man said.
"Hai," Sakura answered as she tossed him some money. He tossed her a bag, full to the brim. "What if I want more?" Sakura asked.
"Call me. You know my number. Bye, babe," the man said, disappearing.
"Yes, boss…" Sakura whispered to the wind. Sakura walked home with the bag. Once she was in her room she locked the door and poured the contents on her bed. "Meth, huh?" Sakura asked herself. There was every kind of meth you could think of. Drinkable, pills, cigarettes, anything. Sakura grabbed the meth cigarette and a lighter that was conveniently thrown in the bag. He must have known this was her first time smoking… She lit the cigarette and smoked it. The first time she coughed but then she tried it again and got better. Sakura threw the cigarette out the window once she was finished.
Sakura woke up with a dire need for meth but knew if she was missing too long her mom would come upstairs and catch her smoking so she grabbed the two liter bottle and went downstairs while drinking it.
"Hey, sweetheart, what's that?" Ayumi asked, curiously. Sakura easily found a lie.
"A protein drink I made last night," Sakura replied and her mother nodded, not bothering her anymore even though her daughter was doing meth right in front of her eyes… "How's the babies?" Sakura asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Healthy. I'm shocked too. With you I had so many problems. I thought I'd have the same kind of pregnancy with the twins," Ayumi said.
"You were a teenager. Teenagers are too young to get pregnant," Sakura said.
"Well at least I know you won't get pregnant/ You aren't having sex, are you?" Ayumi asked.
"No," Sakura answered as she drank some more meth. "I'm going to get dressed and go outside."
After Sakura got dressed she grabbed her cigarettes and put them in her weapon holster along with her lighter and put the pills next to them. She carried the bottle. Boy, was she getting dependent and fast. Sakura walked outside and was instantly greeted by a hug.
"I thought I was a goner!" a voice yelled hysterically while unknowingly strangling Sakura.
"Dei-chan…can't breathe," Sakura said. Dei instantly let go of her. "Grounding couldn't have been that bad," Sakura said.
"Yes, it was," all three girls answered her. Sakura drank more of the drink.
"What's that?" Momo asked.
"A protein drink," Sakura said, keeping the lie going.
"Make it yourself because I've never seen one like that and believe me! I drink so many protein drinks it's not funny!" Mizuki said.
"She's telling the truth! It is not funny!" Dei agreed.
"Yes, I made it," Sakura replied.
"How's it taste?" Mizuki asked.
"Good," Sakura replied.
"Can I try it?" Mizuki asked and Sakura's eyes widened.
"NO!" Sakura yelled and they looked at her in shock. "I mean…hehe."
"Sakura, what exactly is that?" Dei asked in a threatening tone.
"A drink," Sakura answered slowly. Dei stared her down. "Alright, it's meth," Sakura broke down.
"Sakura, that's bad for you," Dei scolded.
"I know but I can't help it. I'm addicted now," Sakura admitted.
"What else have you been doing while we've been gone?" Dei asked like a mother who caught her daughter stealing a cookie from the cookie jar before dinner.
"Drinking…a lot…everyday," Sakura said, nervously. Dei gave an exasperated sigh.
"Is this because of your father? Geez…you must really love him," Momo said, rolling her eyes.
"She and Mizuki don't know how anyone can love their fathers like we do. My dad's cool when you get to know him!" Dei said. Sakura rolled her eyes.
"I bet," Sakura said, sarcastically.
"What? He is!" Dei defended.
"Whatever," Sakura said as she drank the last of her meth in a bottle. She frowned and tipped it upside down over the ground and kept shaking it, hoping it'd refill. Dei took it away from her and threw it away. Sakura sighed and got out a meth cigarette and the lighter. She lit it and started to smoke it.
"Smoking to?" Dei asked.
"It's meth, Dei-chan," Sakura said.
"It's still smoking. I'm telling your father and no matter what kind of withdrawal you're going to go through we're getting you help!" Dei said, trying to drag Sakura off.
"Maybe I just want to stay here and smoke it?" Sakura challenged.
"Right…in front of your house where your mom could see you," Dei said.
"I'm coming," Sakura mumbled, following them.
"You know meth is illegal," Mizuki said.
"Ya think?" Sakura asked, sarcastically. Mizuki just huffed.
"Come on," Dei said, leading them all out of the village. Sakura still smoked her meth cigarette with no care of what her father would do when he sees her. Pffft…he didn't care anyways. Or so she thought.
"Here we are. And our parole officers are waiting inside to lock us up in our rooms…again," Mizuki said.
"Did you ever think if you stayed out of trouble then they wouldn't bother you?" Sakura asked and they stared blankly at her.
"Hypocrite," Dei said as she walked into the base with the girls closely behind.
"OI!!!!!!! SASORI-SAMA!!!!! WE GOT A PRESENT FOR YOU!!!!!!" Dei yelled rather loudly.
"What?" Sasori asked, glaring at the loud blonde.
"Your daughter has a problem," Dei stated, bluntly. Sasori looked over to his daughter…who was smoking a cigarette.
"Am I safe to assume that it's tobacco in there?" Sasori asked.
"No, it's meth," Mizuki said. Then her and the other two quickly left, knowing this would be ugly. Sasori strode over to his daughter and stood in front of her for a minute. She just kept smoking, not a care in the world but getting high would do that to ya.
SLAP!
The noise echoed throughout the whole base. Her father had actually slapped her! Not lightly either! NO! It was hard and painful! The cigarette was on the floor and Sasori stepped on it. Sakura slowly put her hand on her cheek which was now a dark red.
"What the hell was that for?" Sakura yelled at her father, glaring at him.
"What are you doing to yourself?" Sasori yelled back to her.
"Me? This is YOUR fault! If you wouldn't be so mean and if you had never left I would be fine!" Sakura yelled at him.
"Sakura, I'm your father. You will not speak to me that way not even under this circumstance. I would send you to your room but seeing you don't have one I'll send you to mine," Sasori said.
"I have to go home," Sakura stated.
"No, remember what you said about a deal you had with your mother?" Sasori asked and Sakura's eyes widened at what she was hearing. "I'll call your mother and send for your stuff but you're going to my room and you can't come out until I say so," Sasori said, dragging his daughter off and putting her in his room.
Sakura sighed. It's been a long time since she was sent to her room. And I mean a long time. Now she was bored. That's the only bad part of being sent to her…well his room. And Goddammit! Her cheek still hurt! At least she still had some cigarettes and pills…Sakura grabbed a pill and swallowed it, loving the taste. She shouldn't be doing this…but it wasn't called an addiction for nothing.
An hour later all of the pills were gone and Sakura was totally high. She couldn't even tell up from blue. Her father chose this time to come and check on her.
"Sup, red haired dude!" Sakura said, giggling. Sasori sighed, trying to hide his anger.
"Sakura, you had more meth with you?" Sasori asked.
"Maybe…" Sakura answered laughing.
"Sakura, either you give me all the meth you have or I will get it myself," Sasori said, glaring at her. She pouted.
Sasori was beyond angry. He sent his daughter he for a punishment! P-U-N-I-S-H-M-E-N-T! Not to get high! Sasori walked over to her and grabbed her leg holster. He found a lot of cigarettes, a lighter, and an empty pill bottle.
"No wonder you're high," Sasori mumbled. You wanna know what the worst part is! He can't even punish her until she gets her senses back! He felt like the best father in the world at that moment, being sarcastic of course. He sat down on his bed and watched his daughter, hoping she'd get it together soon so he could give her a piece of his mind…
A few more hours later and Sakura was finally getting her senses back. Once she was totally done with the high thing, she looked at her father and gulped. She knew she was in big trouble.
"Tell me, do you enjoy angering me or just getting high?" Sasori asked, staring straight at his daughter with a raised eyebrow.
"Is that a trick question?" Sakura asked and he gave her a look that meant no. Sakura put her head down in shame.
"I don't know what to do with you, Sakura," Sasori said, sighing. "I called your mother and I've already signed custody papers. As for your stuff I'll have some of the guys help me get it tomorrow and as for you. You are grounded and no alcohol or drugs. At all," Sasori said. Sakura sighed.
"How long am I grounded for?" Sakura asked.
"A week," Sasori answered. Sakura was mentally relieved that that's all the punishment he had for her. Too bad she didn't know that her withdrawal was going to be a bitch. Sasori caught his daughter rubbing her cheek where he had slapped her. "Sorry, dear," Sasori mumbled. Sakura looked up at him.
"It's OK. I probably deserved it," Sakura said, knowing she was being a bitch.
"Still. I've never slapped you before," Sasori said.
"Yes, you have. Remember?" Sakura asked as he thought about it.
"I'm home," Sasori called through the house. Ayumi came up and kissed him on the cheek.
"Hello, sweetie," Ayumi said.
"Hey, where's Sakura? She's usually downstairs waiting for me to get home," Sasori asked.
"She's in her room," Ayumi answered.
"Has she been good?" Sasori asked, expecting the same answer as always but by his wife's expression, he knew otherwise. "What did she do?" Sasori asked.
"She…hit me," Ayumi said. Sasori had anger in his eyes.
"What happened?" Sasori asked.
"I told her to clean her room and she disobeyed me so I grabbed her and made her look at me and then she just hit me…It didn't hurt, honey!" Ayumi quickly threw in as she saw her angry husband stalk upstairs to find their daughter. He opened her door and walked over to her until he was towering over her. She looked up at him and glared. He glared back.
"Don't glare at me, Sakura," Sasori warned. She made a 'hmph' sound and turned away.
"Sakura, look at me!" Sasori said.
"Go away!" Sakura yelled at him.
"Sakura, why did you hit your mother?" Sasori asked, angrily.
"Go away!" Sakura yelled again. He grabbed her chin and made her look at him. She glared at him and tried to push him away. He slapped her…hard. So hard that it knocked her head to the side. Sakura bit her lip, trying not to cry at the sudden pain her father inflicted on her.
"Sakura, I want you to stay in here until you've thought about what you've done and if that means no dinner than no dinner," Sasori said as he left her room, shutting the door in the process.
"Oh, yeah. I remember that," Sasori mumbled.
"I'd have to say this one hurts a lot worse," Sakura said. He looked at her like she was stupid.
"Of course it does. I'm not so stupid I'd use my whole strength to hit a six year old!" Sasori said.
"But you'll use your whole strength to hit a sixteen year old!" Sakura shot back.
"That wasn't even my whole strength," Sasori mumbled.
Sakura lay on her father's bed. It was two days without alcohol or meth and she was grounded for five more days. Sakura really needed alcohol and meth…it was starting to show.
"Hey, Princess, how are you doing?" Sasori asked as he entered the room. Sakura's eye twitched.
"Don't. Call. Me. That," Sakura ground out through clenched teeth.
"Sakura, you used to love it when I called you that," Sasori said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Go away," Sakura mumbled.
"Sakura, I came to get you for dinner. If you're hungry," Sasori said and at that moment her stomach growled so there was no question. She sighed and followed him to the living room where everyone else, except Dei, Momo, and Mizuki were already seated. Deidara had an annoyed expression on his face.
"Should I, un?" Deidara asked.
"Sure, I don't feel like doing it this time," Hidan and Itachi said at the same time. Hidan said it with a little unnecessary cursing.
"OI!!!!!! DEI! MIZUKI! MOMO! GET YOUR BUTTS TO THE DINNER TABLE THIS INSTANT, UN!!!!!!!!!" Deidara yelled as they girls appeared and sat down at the table.
"Hello," Dei greeted everyone. The guys grunted. Sakura looked at her food and her fingers twitched. She needed meth! This dinner wouldn't do. Sasori looked at her.
"Something wrong, Sakura?" Sasori asked.
"No," Sakura replied, snottily. Sasori rolled his eyes but continued eating his dinner. Everyone ate in silence until Kisame said:
"Get me the sake!"
Sakura lost it. She slammed her hands on the table, next to her plate and stood up. Everyone was shocked by this. She just screamed and stormed off. They knew she entered her father's room because they heard the door slam shut.
"I'll go talk to her," Sasori said as he got up and went back to his room. He found Sakura on his bed crying and hitting the bed with all she had all the while she was lying face down on it smothering her face so he didn't hear any of the curses she was saying.
"Sakura, come on back to dinner," Sasori said gently as he touched her back.
"Leave me alone!" Sakura yelled at him, glaring with all of her might.
"Sakura, don't yell at me," Sasori warned.
"WHATEVER! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sakura yelled as her tears ran down her face. She tried to dry them but they wouldn't stop. Sasori walked closer to her and wiped her tears away. He forced her to look at him.
"I know this is hard but try not to drink or do meth. For me?" Sasori asked.
"I never asked for this. I just wanted alcohol. I didn't ask to be put through withdrawal," Sakura whispered. He caressed her cheek.
"I know but I feel better knowing you're not destroying your future," Sasori said.
"Dad, you feel better? I'm so fucking happy for you! I feel like I'm dying!" Sakura yelled at him. Sasori frowned and held his hand up to her face, ready to backhand her and she turned her cheek, ready for the slap.
"Sakura, you need to watch your mouth. You can't cuss," Sasori chided. He lowered his hand and Sakura looked back up at him.
"You didn't hit me," Sakura said.
"I don't want to become like your step-father but I will hit you if you talk to me like that again," Sasori said and she nodded.
"Yes, father," Sakura replied.
"Now come back to dinner and apologize to everyone," Sasori told her.
"But-"
"No buts. Now go," Sasori said as he followed her out of the room. They got to the living room and everyone was waiting on them to return.
"Sorry, for the outburst," Sakura apologized and sat down. Leader nodded.
"Hey, hey, Konan-sama, is Kayuu coming to dinner?" Dei asked.
"No, he's doing homework. Sorry, girls," Konan said and the three girls groaned.
"Who's Kayuu?" Sakura asked.
"Just the hottest guy to walk the earth!" Mizuki said.
"Hey! What the fuck did I say about that?" Hidan said. Mizuki sighed.
'Don't call any guy hot unless they're literally on fire," Mizuki replied, looking at Sakura. "See what I have to deal with? I can't even say a simple guy is H-O-T or I get grounded!" Mizuki said. Dei and Momo chuckled.
"We're still not allowed to date, Mizuki. Our dad's are afraid that we'll loose our innocence…not like I haven't. I was raped before but any who they're paranoid and won't let us date. Your dad's cool. He lets you date," Dei explained.
"Hear that, guys? I'm the cool dad today!" Hidan said, proudly. Sakura looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Oh, they always have this contest to see who the cool dad of the day is. We call it 'DOT Day.'" Momo said.
"Clever," Sakura commented.
"Your dad has won, ya know. He has the most days of being cool," Dei said.
"How?" Sakura asked. Sasori coughed at his daughter's bluntness.
"He used to tell everyone all about you…what he'd let you do…etc. and we always said he was the coolest," Mizuki said, glaring daggers at her father.
