Chapter 7

The Healing Process

( Both Itachi and Sakura's Point of View)

"You're not going to like this," she pointed out as she stared at the broken shard of glass in her palm. "Yeah, because this whole experience has been just a vacation so far," Itachi growled growing more frustrated by the second. "I'm going to have to cut your hair because it's stuck in the blood on your face," her voice was barely a whisper. Itachi let out a growl, and turned in the direction of her voice. "Don't fuck it up ok," he hissed. "It's not like you can see it any way," she pointed out scooting out of arms reach.

She carefully began to pull the blade separating the long black strands as she went, the sound of dull glass grinding through hair could be heard throughout the dimly lighted cell. "Don't pull so hard that hurts," Itachi grumbled while Sakura worked. "I'm sorry but the glass isn't that sharp, and I'm doing the best I can," she mumbled while she worked. "Ok, I'm done," she finally announced twenty minutes later.

The fallen hair was making the back of his neck itch, all he wanted to do was wash it off, but he had to ask Sakura to help him over to the rusty sink. Before he could even utter the words, she had grabbed his hand pulling him to his feet and leading him to the sink. He reached out fumbling slightly for the handle, and finally turned the water on. He leaned forward bumping his head on the iron facet, and growled as the cold water splashed the back of his head.

He jumped as the water made contact with his damaged eyes, and his head slammed into the metal basin causing the water to violent enter his nose and mouth. He struggled violently to remove his head from the death trap of a sink, but he failed miserably. Small hands pulled him gently from the rushing water, and rubbed his back as he coughed and gasped trying to catch his breath.

(Sakura's Point of View)

Unsure of how to address the previous situation, she started shredding some cloth that she had washed the previous night watching him as he sat on the ground leaning his head into his arms. He must have been extremely embarrassed a grown man having to depend on a girl of only sixteen to help him out. It had to wound his pride greatly needing her help with simply things, she thought a little dry humor might do them both some good so he commented, "Well, at least your clean now."

Carefully, she wrapped the bandages around his wounded eyes and began to think of what day it was. It was Thursday which meant that Kabuto would be coming to feed them alone, and that there was no task to do since Itachi was in no condition to do them. She could kill Kabuto, and find an exit then Itachi and her would be home free, well for the time being.

After all they had no idea where they were, and the chances that they were near a town were unlikely. So they would have to depend on each other to make it to a nearby town and that could be for miles. With Itachi injured their chances of survival or escape were extremely low, and helping him get through any obstacles would be a task, but she was willing to take the chance.

She finished wrapping his eyes, and moved him closer towards the wall. She waited staring at the glass in her hands, and weighing the odds. They best place to stab the bastard would be in his neck, aim for the artery and pray that it is slashed completely destroyed. The large metal door began to open, and she felt a rush of adrenaline and she lunged for Kabuto.

He had no idea what was happening, he felt Sakura leave his side, but he wasn't expecting her to attack Kabuto. The struggle from what he could hear was a violent one, and he stayed where he was. It wouldn't do Sakura any good if he got caught in the middle being as disoriented as he was so he waited listening closely praying that by some miracle Sakura would succeed.

(Sakura's Point of View)

She slashed violently at his neck with little success, so she went for his eyes. She straddled his chest and stabbed as hard as she could in his eye sockets blinding him so she could finish the job. He screamed violently, but she showed him no mercy, because when she had cried out he had hurt her worse. She slit his throat, and quickly ran towards Itachi pulling him to his feet as they made their way out of the door and to the hallway.
