Sakura sat within the circle of her team watching them as they slept, Sasuke woke first, gently stirring before opening his eyes to realize his head was on her lap. He lifted his head from her and met her gaze directly. He looked around and knew they would sleep for many hours yet and stood, pulling her to stand beside him and moved several feet away. He pinned her to the tree and kissed her gently, Sakura's hands threaded into his hair while his body pressed into her.
When she felt Sasuke's hands glide up her thigh she stiffened. Sasuke immediately felt it and pulled back. "What is it Sakura?" he whispered, looking at her eyes to see himself what was wrong. Sakura pulled away and looked down before explaining she would never be the innocent Sakura he deserved.
He pulled her in to hug her while he caressed her back gently. "Sakura whatever they did to you they can't do it anymore. I would kill them before they harm you again. You have my word on it." Sasuke whispered while his hand moved to cup her cheek, moving back slightly.
"I was adopted when I was young, that much you know already, however, when I stayed with my adoptive parents everything changed. I began noticing subtle changes in my behavior before my appearance began changing. When I began seeing serpent like eyes and black hair I went to our Hokage, Tsunade and questioned her about it. She told me everything I needed to know and that when I turn 18, my power shifts to whatever I feel in my heart. I don't want to be evil like my father Sasuke, he stole everything from me. My home, my parents, my little brother, everything." She said softly.
Sasuke held her close while she softly cried into his shirt, wondering why this had to happen to her. Sasuke's eyes sharpened at the sound of a twig snapping, he pulled back and cautiously moved her to be behind him while his sharingan scanned the area thoroughly. Kakashi stepped beside him as he silently pulled out a kunai and waited for the person to show themselves, Naruto crashed through the bush rubbing his shoulder from where it collided with a boulder.
"Man that hurt…..Oh hey Sakura" Naruto said, Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he threw a shuriken at him. "What gives Sasuke? It's me you know" He said, Sasuke flashed behind him and landed a series of kicks to his lower body before spin kicking him through several trees.
"No, you are not Naruto. I know for a fact Naruto under the tree sleeping. You are a clone, nothing more." He said smiling when he landed behind the impersonator, hands grasped around his throat from behind. Just as he was about to pierce the ninja's heart with his kunai, the body dissipated in his arms, leaving nothing behind.
He glanced up and saw Sakura, eyes golden like a serpent and hair as black as midnight. Her hands extended in front of her while the ninja's soul was seeping into her hands leaving behind nothing but a pile of ash. "I'm sorry Sasuke, he had a needle and was preparing to stick it into you" she whispered, Sasuke looked down and picked up the needle before handing it to Kakashi.
"Come on Sakura, you need some rest of your own. You have been up watching us the whole night. " He said as he led her to a tree on the other side of everyone. He barely heard her tell him she wanted his story as to how he holds Fenrir. "That story Sakura? Really?" When she nodded, he smirked before taking her hand and entwining it with his.
"I was a child at the age of 2. My family had a history of wolves and canines of that magnitude, My father possessed the legendary Jormungand, a snake like being related to Fenrir. It was said that when Jormungand was imprisoned into the body of my Father, Fenrir went crazy and started attacking the Leaf Village. To protect it, my brother Itachi had to kill our Father and in doing so sealed Fenrir within me. I can feel him at times trying to dominate my inner self but I have a better control of him and it is very difficult for him to surface unless I allow it." Sasuke explained.
Sakura smiled and kissed his cheek, "And the others? What about them?" She asked softly, she knew they all had things inside of them, but Sasuke felt it would be best if she heard it from them and not him. He kissed her temple gently and moved her head to his chest.
"Sleep Sakura, there is plenty of time for their tales and I am sure they will tell you all you wish to know in the morning. But for now, sleep" he whispered.
A/N: Sorry for a short chapter, I am trying to maintain multiple things at the same time. Updating 2 out of 4 stories, pulling a 10 am to 6 pm shift at the store Thursday through Monday and what's worse? The register didn't register tax today so we had to do everything on the calculator until we fixed it, now that it is fixed, it won't print the management report for the end of the say sales. One bad luck after another lol. But I will be updating Sakura's darkness and Family life soon. Starting with Sakura's Darkness.
