Summary: The broken tale of Sakura Haruno. Sasuke, the love of her life, has left Kohona, and 2 years later he comes back. He expects Sakura to fall for him, and this time he would marry her, he was wrong. He meets Naruto first who tells him that she has a boy-friend "Anku." What he doesn't know is her beats her, calls her names, and is a drunk. What will happen when he finds out? Will she let him? SasSaku Rated "T" for obvious reasons.

Last on a.A.F.a.C.M

It killed her to guess what her fate was. She just wished that none of this ever happened. Her mind going over all of the things that she did wrong, the better decisions that she could of made…but she didn't. Laying on the floor she heard a knock at the door.

Her, Blood, Sweat, And Tears

Sakura didn't move. She couldn't, her body was aching, so...much...pain. It was rattling her body. Taking her to and from the real situation she was in.

Knock, Knock, Knock.

The fist of the person at the door was powerful, she could tell. It didn't even occur to her who it might be...well she had a few ideas. Still she was motionless.

Bang, Bang, Bang.

Now it sounded more urgent. Like the other person behind that oak door had life-changing information to give her. She didn't want to recieve any if that was the case. She had already had enough surprises, with it coming back again. It. That was who he was to her now. Not a "him", or a "he" just...it. He was just there. To haunt her, to make her confused, to make her hurt, cry. Sasuke was the reason that she was with Anku. Sasuke was the reason that she got hurt by him, by both of them. Sakura couldn't bring herself to blame him for her injuries though, it was her decision to stay with Anku, she could leave him at anytime. Right? She still had that option...didn't she?

Pound, Pound, Pound.

Muffled words were incoherent on the other side of the door. She tried to figure out what the person was saying, she couldn't though, the door was to thick to understand a word of what the person was saying.

POUND, POUND, POUND.

The house started to shake. The windows were moving, causing the outside images to blur. Words from the door turned into pleas, at least that was what she though they were.

"Sakura...door..."

Those were the only words that came out clearly. But, she still laid there, on the carpet, stretched out drenched in confusion and worry. She felt sorry for herself, that she was once this cheerful konuchi, glad about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Every word that used to describe her made her heart fill with glee. Sakura, wasn't like that now. She hardly was happy, in fact there wasn't one thing that made her happy at this point. Back then it would of been 'it'. Not anymore though, at least she didn't think. She considered returning his feelings, for she still felt them. However, she didn't want to return the heartache, the sorrow. The undeniable thrist for death, just to leave this world. Something that caused her so many heart-wrenching days, but she gave the world happiness then. Now, she just gave it something to grieve about, because the Sakura that Kohona loved so much was dead. She was damned, just like everything else in her life.

From outside the pleas got louder, so that she could understand more of the words.

"Sakura, open...door..."

Who ever was speaking sounded like it was very urgent, or just very aggitated. She couldn't ignore it anymore, because they would just continue to knock. Slowly she sat up, dusted off the carpet strands that were on her shirt and jeans. Looking in the mirror, so that she wouldn't look so much like a disgrace when she would peer out the door. She couldn't see the person from the window though. Fog. That haze that covers everything, blinds you, so that you can't see what is right in front of you. Fog was covering up the persons face. It was a man, she could see that much. Sluggishly she grabbed the bronze door handle, pushing down on it with just enough force to unlock the latch. Gently, she pulled the door open, revealing the face. It. He was there. She couldn't believe her eyes, she thought they were playing tricks on her. That it was probably just the mailman, or just somebody trying to sell her something. Some part of her knew that...that wasn't the case. That 'It', was there...in the flesh, breathing and living, just like...well not like her. He smirked, now she knew he was there.

Sakura was speechless, "Wh-wha-" Her breath was cut off, because Uchiha Sasuke had just kissed her passionatley. Closing her eyes memories flooded back, taking her to the past.

FLASHBACKS

"Hi, I am Sakura. What is your name?"

"Uchiha Sasuke." Then he left briskly.

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

"Sakura, Naruto...and Sasuke. You are on Team 7." Iruka-sensi had announced.

'Yes.' Sakura thought, jumping for joy in her seat.

"Awe, man!."

Sasuke was silent, but he glanced at Sakura, smoothly he looked away so no one would notice.

"You will die Sasuke." Haku had said.

He grinned devilishly.

"Are you ready?"

With out an answer, he attacked. Haku caught him in mid air and stabbed needles into his neck and back. Blood poured out of his raw wounds.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screamed.

He didn't answer, just laid in a pool of his blood. She ran up to him and put his head on her lap. "Please don't die, you can't. Please."

"Sakura. You are lying on my chest, I can't breath." Sasuke struggled to say.

"Oh sorry." Her cheeks reddened.

"Dont leave me!"

"Go home."

"Take me with you."

"Don't be a fool."

"I love you!"

"I- don't- love- you. I never will. Dont you fucking get it?" Harsh words spilled out of him.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

"Please Sasuke dont go." She replied just ignoring the cruel words he just spoke.

"You are to weak. Train more Sakura."

"Sasuke I-Love-You! Don't you understand?"

"I'm sorry." He shot his hand against her neck, she was knocked unconious. "Thank you." He left.

"Excuse me, could you hand me an apple."

The man turned around, he had beautiful brown hair. "Yes. Here you go." He handed her the apple but just stared at her.

"I'm sorry. Do you want something?" Sakura asked sweetly.

"No, no. I'm sorry you are just so gorgeous."

She blushed, "I'm Sakura." She held out her hand.

"I'm Anku." Polietly he shook her hand. That is how they met.

"Worthless piece of shit!" He grabbed her hair.

"Stop, please...stop" Tears stained her cheeks, and blood trickled down her arms. Her wounds from the piece of beer glass remained in her arm.

"Look what you have done!" He pointed to the bathroom. A towel, just one towel, laid on the floor.

"Wh-What?" she replied terrified.

"The towel! You moron."

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Sakura pulled out the piece of glass, some flesh came off as well. Hurridly she went to pick it up, he met up with her and slapped her on the cheek, "Now you know never to do that again...Dont you?!"

"Yes." She slid down to the tile floor, putting her knees to her chest and laying her head on her knees. Silently she sobbed.

Staring at her, his girl-friend, looking at what he did. Anku felt in control, a leader, "I do this...teach you because I love you. You know that don't you?"

She looked up, "You...you love me?"

"Of course. I will never leave you." He paused, "And you will never leave me." He was the master, he was "The Shit." No exceptions, she would folllow his rules or suffer his consequences.

She nodded, that would have never crossed her mind, because he loved her, the only person that ever had.

"He's back." Naruto had said.

"Who?"

He paused, "Him."

"S-Sas-Sasuke?"

"Yes."

"I knew he was alive...I knew it."

"Do you love him still?"

"Love him? I dont even know him."

"But Sakura-"

"No Naruto, he hurt me, he killed me, my heart, my soul. I can't love someone who hurts me." Sakura had said just a few days before.

Sadly she was a hypocrite.

"I love you Sakura." Sasuke said.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

"I love you, and you will love me." Anku told her.

"Choose." Naruto said.

"Follow your heart." Ino comforted.

"What do you want?" Hinata questioned.

(Anku hurts your skin. Sasuke hurt your heart. What pain can you live with? Which one can you deal with, live with everday. That is the true question.)

END OF FLASHBACKS

Sakura was still kissing him, and she didn't even realize it. The memories distracted her, she couldn't decifer if the kiss was wonderful...or if it would hurt her in the end. Fears from the past struck her heart, he left her once, he could leave again. She broke off the kiss.

I see the way you go and say your right again,
say your right again
heed my lecture

Stunned Sasuke looked at her strangely, "Sakura-"

"I'm sorry. I can't do this." She backed away.

"What do you mean? You love me."

"No." She partially lied, or at least...she thought.

"Sakura." Sasuke walked up to her and pulled her arms close. He couldnt see her injuries though, there were covered up once again by her long sleeve shirts. Slowly he nuzzeled his head into her shoulder. "I know you do"

"I-" She stopped, the past re-lived itself in her mind. The thought about him leaving last time, her confessing every feeling in her body, and him...just shutting her out. What if this was just another cruel joke? That he was just doing this to get some sick satisfaction from saying that she loved him, then he would say that he never did and break her heart once again.

"Please. Be with me." Sasuke pleaded.

"No."

"Saku-"

"NO!" Her ankles gave out and she tumbled to the floor, he tried to catch her but she shoved him off. "Just leave." She said silently.

"I can't. I love you."

"Hmph," she sighed, "Liar."

"No, I love you."

"I dont believe you." Still silent as ever.

"I do." He bent down to her level, and his lips got closer to hers.

Tempated to kiss him, but blinded by the terrible agony that she survived, she did not.

"Leave." Her words commanded.

"No."

"Sasuke leave damn it!" She charged towards him trying to force him out the door. Force. She stopped herself. She was changing, using force to hurt people, she was turning into...into Anku. Her hands started to shake, her breaths got faster, "Just go. Do it for me." she pleaded silently. "For me." Her eyes stared at him, full of distress and heart-ache.

"Okay..." he replied quietly, "Okay." He walked to the door, just before walking out onto the porch he he gazed at her one last time, "Sakura I do love you."

"Leave." She replied staring at her hands, as they still shook.

He shut the door behind him, she heard retreating footsteps, then nothing at all.

More frantically her hands vibrated, so much that she couldn't even use them properly. She laid on the ground, just staring at the ceiling once again, lying on her back. Her legs were numb, her hands were shaking, and she was so confused and hurt. Not just hurt by him, more because of her decisions, of her actions. She almost hurthim, she almost grabbed his shoulders and shook him. Why was this happening? Was it because of Anku? Would she do this again? Hurt someone else? She gulped loudly, and shut her eyes. Her mind replayed the scene, that just happened moments ago, again, and again. Sakura watched herself in horror, she had that same look in her eyes, the same thing that Anku has when he is going to do something to hurt her. She knew that look, she knew it all to well. She remained lying on the floor, going over everything that had happened. Minutes and hours went bye. There was another knock at the door.

POUND, BANG, KNOCK, POUND, BANG

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.

Her mind told her not to answer it, she didn't listen though. She moved more quickly this time, knowing for sure that it wasn't 'it' at the door again. She opened the door, only to recive a fist to her face. Sakura watched it in slow motion comes towards her, she saw it come closer to her eyes and nose, her hands moved slowly to block it. It was no use though, the punch landed directly on her face. Sakura stared at the man in horror.

"You stupid little whore!" Screamed Anku. "Do you know how much that damn door will cost me? I mean you." His eyes had that same look she had a few hours ago.

"I'm sorry." She said rubbing her face. "I will pay for it."

"Hell yeah! I know you will! And your sorry? SORRY won't buy me a new door Sakura!" He walked up to her and kicked her in the gut.

She flinched, "I will go get you a new one." Her eyes shut, he gave her so much pain.

"Good." He kicked her again, "Then-you-will-not-mind-if-I-just-take-some-of-your-things-? Each pause he kicked her repeatedly.

He didn't wait for her to answer, "Of course not. I will just take some of your things and sell them. So that you can pay for...for all the emotional disturbance you have caused me. I loved that door." He walked over and took a glimpse of some of her items. First he walked over to her glass knick-knacks.

"These are all hideous." One-by-one he knocked them over, the glass shattering and tiny pieces stabbing at her pale flesh. Dark red blood seeped through her clothes and fell to the carpet, staining the fabric.

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the grown?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

Then he walked over to the books, "These are pointless for you to read." He picked a handful and threw them, most hitting her in the head. Causing her head to bleed profusly. She felt her self go in and out of conciousness. Powerless, watched him destroy her prized pocessions, and she couldn't do a damn thing to stop him. He was to powerful, and she...she was just to weak. Just like 'it' had said right before he left a few years before. Anku got bored though, he felt pride rush through him looking at his bloody girlfriend.

"I'm done with you for now. You know what you have to do for me." Anku bent down to her, taking her hand and holding it in his, "I love you Sakura." He kissed her forehead.

She didn't hear a word of it though, all she could do was look at her broken house. She felt the blood drip down her shirt and she felt it going through her jeans. Blood fell down her nose, she knew that her head was bleeding now, she might have a concussion. Sakura tried to move, she couldn't stand up though. Slowly she dragged her body trying to reach the phone, she moved a few feet and was just inches away from the phone. Her body shut down though, and lost all conciousness.

Her phone rang a thousand times. It was Naruto, she didn't know that though, because she wasn't awake. Naruto didn't even know that she was injured. In his car though, he had a gut feeling to go and see her. He drove over to her house, only to see that the front door was open.

"Sakura." He called from the drive-way.

No answer.

"Sakura."

No answer.

His gut feeling got stronger, it said 'Go in there now!' Naruto didn't want to disturb her though if she was doing something important. Still he felt like he should go into her house. So he did. Cautiously he walked up the stairs, his eyes fell to the bleeding konuchi on the blood soaked carpet.

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..

"SAKURA!" Naruto cried. He ran up to her, stepping over books and glass, "What happened?" She didn't answer, her eyes were still shut and she was breathing faintly. He took her pulse, it was very faint. Naruto picked her up, blood now covered his hands, and rushed to his car. He was going to the hospital, he just hoped...that it wasn't too late.
