Bring Her The Horizon
Chapter nine
Sakura's interrogation
"M-mom? Why am I here?" Sakura whispered as she glanced at her surroundings, glancing at the many metallic objects. Hana combed her slender fingers through her daughter's silky pink hair, she hummed a soft melody as tears welled up her apple green eyes.
Sakura pushed herself off the bed, attempting to throw her legs off and run out even. Hana stopped her though, she held onto Sakura, pushing her pink bangs backwards.
"Mom! Mom, let me go, please." Sakura whimpered.
Hana turned away from her as she felt the doctors behind her, she let go of her daughter, blowing a soft kiss before disappearing behind the large white curtains.
"Mother! Mother! Wait! No!" Her cries died down as they dragged her small bed away to another room. Where the hell are they taking me?
A short nurse clad in a lime green dress entered the room, her electric blue hair was the first thing radiating off the objects and the single vivid light. Her skin was as white as snow and her grin large. Her nose was long and pointed upwards, her lips red.
She recognized that woman.
Sakura was lost for words, if this was what she think it was… then…
"Just relax honey, lay back and answer some questions before we proceed." The nurse said in an eerie tone, her lips stretching in yet another large smile.
Sakura's lips quivered…
"We know what happened to you. And your father had been right on time to save y-"
"He's not my father." Sakura cut her off abruptly, pushing her elbows down for support.
"Well, Ken-san had been there in time before he could try anything. He heard your screams, the whole restaurant did." The nurse said with piercing blue eyes with eyelids shadowed with green makeup.
"I-I'm sorry but I don't think I know where you're coming from." Sakura said honestly.
"Honey, you don't have to be ashamed, it's not your fault if he has…" The nurse trailed off. "Although I've never expected anything like this from someone like Uchiha Sasuke."
"What? What has he done?" Sakura asked, perplexed with wide eyes.
The nurse sighed, taking the pinkette's hands in hers.
"When did he start doing this to you? You can tell me, I'm here to help you, cleanse you. Even if you cant get back what you cherished." She whispered the last part.
Sakura slapped the woman's hands away, glaring daggers at the blue-haired woman.
"What are you talking about?" Sakura whispered.
"Sakura, you have to work with me here, no secrets."
"How can you say that when I have no idea what's going on?" Sakura countered.
"Was it… consensual?" The nurse asked, biting her red lips and narrowing her eyes.
"Wait… you think I was r-raped?" Sakura stammered.
"No honey, we know you were."
"Son, you're going to jail for the rape of Sakura Haruno. Now, confess and lessen your sentence or keep your mouth shut and… die."
Sasuke's head was spinning wildly, his eyes bulged out of their sockets at the ANBU's words. They really think I raped her?
"What the hell? I would never-!" Sasuke said darkly, raising his voice.
"Don't try to lie, we heard her scream your name and saw her trying to push you off. And those bruises tell us something too. Now fess up, why did you do this to such a frail girl?"
Sasuke chuckled darkly, shaking his head in disbelief. "I was helping her." He whispered honestly, crossing his arms with pride.
"How pathetic of you to automatically jump to such conclusions! She was screaming my name, true but it doesn't mean that I… that I w-was forcing her into…" Sasuke finished with a glare, narrowing his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I try to do something like this in such a secured place, and the girls' bathroom? Get off my back." He sealed his lips together.
"I'm afraid you're mistaken, Uchiha." The man said, snickering darkly.
Sasuke sent another glare to the taller masked man, his tight fists eager to sucker punch the idiot. I just wanted a meal and now look where it has lead me.
Sakura shivered as the nurse watched her strip and jump in an oversize hospital gown.
She remarked the bruises all over the pre-teen's body, the black and purple blotches, the red pinches on her skin, the cuts and closed gashes on her arm.
"Oh my… What-"
"It's nothing!" Sakura yelped backed away quickly, shielding her scars from view. "I… I fell d-down the stairs… last week, I-I was careless." She lied quickly, avoided the petite woman's icy blue eyes. "P-please, I assure you. Let me go home."
The nurse ignored her, she pulled her towards the light and observed the bruises.
"These were done a long time ago sweetie, and those were just done recently." The nurse glared. "You're lying. Why are you protecting him? Is it because you love him? Why are you not telling the truth?" The nurse kept asking, her lips red and glossy yapping and yapping was what Sakura could see. Her head suddenly hurts.
"I'm not lying, please, it was all a misunderstanding." Sakura cried, tears finally welling up her eyes. She brought a small hand to her face, wiping off her tear-stained cheeks.
"J-just please. Let me go." She repeatedly said; "let me go."
But the nurse was still persistent, as if trying to prove something she hasn't been able to in a long ass time. The nurse stared at the crying girl, not making a single effort of support. She was only doing as told.
"Only one way to find out. I'm going to give you a checkup."
"Since you're being stubborn. Reminds me of your brother, he on the hand would say it right in your face but you are the complete opposite. Weak, powerless-"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Sasuke yelled as he clutched his head.
Images ran through his mind, flashing repeatedly as he screamed for it to stop. Usually he would have nightmares about the massacre, but never in daytime or in front of others like this. He dropped to his knees and fought the urge to rock himself back and forth, tears threatening to spill from his red eyes.
"As strong as he is, the kid side of him will overpower his current state. He's barely twelve years old, give him a break and release the genjutsu." A female Anbu said seriously with slight worry laced in her voice.
The Anbu interrogator gritted his teeth as he removed his mask, panting slightly in frustration. "He is, but realize what he has done to the poor girl."
"You don't know that for sure!" She hissed, her hands forming signs slowly.
He snickered, taking her wrist in a tight grasp as his emerald eyes glared at her.
Her breathing quickened, yet she asked him between swallowed gasps. "W-why the hell are you so certain about him? We have no physical proof about it!" She ripped her hands free. "It's almost as if you had been there! Leave your personal feelings out of this." With that, she muttered; release and the boy's screams ceased.
He was shaking, he hadn't felt this weak ever since his parents' blood was spilled in front of him. His eyes were bleeding red, spinning wildly with black commas.
The Anbu member watched in irritation, his hands balled into fists. He ran a hand through his white hair and muttered to himself before leaving the cold room. "Perfect bait."
"Come on Kenta, I'm sure your daughter would love to see you." The woman said with hope, brown eyes gleaming. It was as if she was a different person.
Kenta smirked, he would enjoy her if he wanted but right now… he wanted to see Sakura and using his powers… he would see what she had seen earlier. Of course, he had planned it ever since he tracked them in the restaurant and he was absolutely furious to learn about his wife's fiancé.
While his jutsu on Sakura since two weeks ago had side effects, he used the fact that Sasuke was there to get a nerve struck out of him. That can get him to stay away from her for sure. He grinned suddenly, shutting the door behind him.
"This isn't going to hurt one bit, I'm sure your first time was be more painful." The nurse said seriously, noticing Sakura's angry blush, she sighed.
"I-I'm still a virgin. I've never done anything-"
"You haven't but someone else has." The nurse cut her off quickly as she pulled on her tight gloves. "I'll just place this…" She brought up a small narrow metal plate and examined it carefully before placing it down.
Sakura fought the urge to cry again, she looked as if she was about to get dissected by a crazed makeup nurse from the inside out.
"Miss, I'm sorry but you are mistaken. I did not get raped, I just want to go home to my mother.."
"Sakura-san, please just-"
"Ok, Cindy enough." A masked woman appeared behind the shadows, tenderly brushing the blue-haired girl's hair. "The examination is over. He's innocent, therefore all charges against him have dropped. But that doesn't mean we'll leave this alone."
Cindy moved to raise her voice but the woman tightened her hold on Cindy's hair and she closed her mouth immediately at the action.
"Haruno Sakura?" The mysterious masked woman asked.
Sakura shielded herself from view, embracing herself with slender arms. "Y-yes?"
"You can go but first. There's someone you might want to see beforehand."
Sakura got dressed silently, hoping to see her mother very soon again.
The two women left the room silently, bowing to the tall man at the entrance, his eyes soft and welcoming, but when he fully appeared in the light, he snapped his fingers and glared at her.
"Sakura-chan." he said venomously with a sick smirk, appearing before her quickly. "You little wench!" He slapped her, causing her face to twist in a frown as her red cheek stung. He pushed her against the wall and cupped her face with his hand, his face dangerously close to hers.
"Once I'm through with you… you'll forget about your whore of a mother, your friends, your pathetic title of a ninja and especially that Uchiha Sasuke." He slapped her once more and threw her weakened body on the small bed.
Sakura gathered her strength, instead of screaming for help, she asked feebly.
"F-father… w-why are you… doing this t-to me?"
On the previous chapter, here's a brief explanation on what happened.
Since Sakura had been constantly beaten and suffered from her father's genjutsu, she is slowly losing her touch with reality, mixing up with her nightmares, dreams and all that mental stuff. At the restaurant with her mother, she rushed to the bathroom to get away from Sasuke but then as she starts crying and stuff, screaming, Sasuke was nearby and rushed a he recognized her voice. He yelled at her so she could snap out it but Sakura doesn't know, in her mind, she sees her father strangling her but Sasuke sees her strangling herself. He pins her down, people started gathering around the women's bathroom to see what was going on, only to see a blushing Sakura thrashing around and yelling Sasuke's name (the part where.. you know.. she sees him doing all these 'stuff' to her) and they get the wrong impression. He was atop her, she was dressed provocatively, and some of her fresh wounds were in view. Ouch.
About Sakura's father... he will soooo pay for all of this. I just need to process the characters' feelings and roles before the MAJOR SASUSAKU kicks in, along with angst and tragedy blah blah. Soon enough we will see the reason why Sakura's psychotic father is doing all these stuff to her. Yup. Interesting.
