The hospital was less crowded than when Tenten and Mrs Haruno had arrived, only a hand full of the seats in the waiting area were occupied. Tenten sat next to a silent Mrs. Haruno who had been sitting stiffly unmoved for the past half an hour. As soon as they had arrived Sakura had been rushed off leaving Tenten and Mrs Haruno to wait for news .Both were lost within their own thoughts so much so that they didn't notice a women wearing blue scrubs appeared in front of them.

"You're Sakura Haruno's mother correct?"

"Yes, you have news I presume" Mrs Haruno was trying to keep her outward appearance calm but her voice was desperate the women smiled sympathetically Tenten looked up reading her name tag 'Doctor Yamada'.

"Yes she's fine at the moment still unconscious we had to pump her stomach as she didn't bring up the tablets on her own it left her dehydrated but we've put her on I.V for that I have a few questions though". Tenten bowed her head again biting her lip to hold back her tears this time though they were form sheer relief.

"Ask whatever question you need if it'll help her" the doctor nodded slightly

"Last time Sakura was here it was for a number of self inflicted wounds on her arm one needed stitching" Tenten's head snapped up staring hard at the doctor making sure there was no mistake while Mrs Haruno covered her mouth with her hand and began to cry.

"Am I right is saying you were not aware of her self-harm?"

"I had no idea" Tenten opened her mouth to say the same when Mrs Haruno turned and glared at her "I suppose you were the one who brought her to the hospital the supposed love of hers" .The doctor shifted uncomfortably at the venom in Mrs Haruno's voice

"I didn't know if I did I'd have more help than you seeing as you're so cold to her because of the life she's choosing to lead" Tenten and Mrs Haruno exchanged rigid glares.

"This is no time to being arguing" the doctor snapped at them both looked in opposites directions Mrs Haruno to the doctor Tenten to the ceiling. While the doctor suggested methods of treatment to Mrs Haruno Tenten was thinking hard after she ran away that day she was holding her arm more carefully in school and Naruto he was being so protective over her he must have known my god please don't let me be the cause of that. The doctor left again leaving Tenten to deal with Mrs Haruno's once again icy attitude and the possibility that she was the one who caused Sakura to need those stitches. Was this her fault too for not noticing she had also shown her the weapon room all those blades Sakura I'm so sorry.

"Have you stopped moping yet" what the- "the doctor said we can go sit by Sakura's bedside and you were too busy moping to notice". Mrs Haruno was being very snippy but the fact she'd been waiting for Tenten told her she was being slightly kinder to her so she bit back a retort and stood up. It was fairly easy to find Sakura as the Adolescent ward was in the end of the hospital they had been in only three floors up it was decorated with pastel green paint and various vases of pale flowers. Mrs Haruno approached the nurses' station and spoke with a cheerful looking male who pointed her towards the doorway to two rows of beds with the label followed her chest clenching painfully as they drew closer Mrs Haruno headed toward the bed on the left side of the room by the window the only one with its curtains fully drawn.

Mrs Haruno stepped behind the curtain the scrapping of chair being pulled across the floor could be heard Tenten was frozen she wanted to see Sakura but did should she even be here she might have been the cause of this. She inhaled deeply before also steeping around the curtain Mrs Haruno sat on a wooden cushioned chair hand placed on sheets on Sakura's right. Tenten pulled up the other chair on Sakura's left and observed her she was much paler than usual her eyes looked down to the angry thick red line on her arm to the needle in her hand. Tenten decided it better to focus instead on Sakura's face she looked peaceful her light pink hair splayed out on the pillow behind her both women were silent as they sat waiting.

Tenten memorised the position of everything around the bed from the plastic cup next to the jug of water on the small bedside cabinet to the amount of rings holding the curtain up. Sakura didn't stir and by 3am Mrs Haruno had left to get coffee while Tenten sat attentive willing herself not fall asleep she wanted to be there when Sakura awoke. The clacking of heels announced the re-arrival of Mrs Haruno Tenten turned her head slightly towards the curtains as well manicured hand pushed it back.

"there was no milk" Tenten took the steaming plastic cup glancing down to the black liquid she'd have to wait for it to cool so she placed it on the small bedside cabinet.

"Thank you" Mrs Haruno nodded then began to sip her coffee through pursed lips either used to drink coffee when it was still so hot or two worried to care about the possibility of a little burn. Tenten shifted so she wasn't comfortable enough to sleep as readjusted her clothes a movement caught her eye she looked down at Sakura's hand it twitched slightly. Mrs Haruno hadn't noticed as she was trying to suppress a yawn Sakura's eyelids twitched next Tenten leaned forwards now gripping her hand. Startled green eyes were suddenly locked with her brown ones they both remained silent both trying to convey what they wanted to say with their eyes alone. Mrs Haruno gasped loudly and sprang up from her chair cursing as she split the coffee on her self

"Sakura oh thank goodness you gave us such a fright" Sakura didn't speak"now why don't you tell me why you did such a reckless thing". Sakura looked briefly at her mother before going back to staring at Tenten "oh for heaven's sake I'm your mother would you please acknowledge me" Sakura shook her head.

"Leave"

"I beg your pardon" Mrs Haruno stared at Tenten with an expression of shock

"Please leave I need to talk with Sakura in private" Mrs Haruno closed her mouth and huffed

"Fine I'll go call her father then" Sakura watched her mother leave.

"We know about the self-harm the doctor told us Sakura please tell me is that my fault" Tenten indicated towards the thick scar on Sakura's forearm her body shook slightly as she began to cry."Sakura I love you I promise to never hurt you again" this made Sakura cry harder "I can help you if you let me"

"Waste" Sakura coughed as she tried to speak Tenten quickly pour her a cup of mater and handed it to her she took in shakily taking a few sips before attempting speech again. "You're wasting your time on me how can you say that after I did something so selfish"

"I love you and I'm not going to stop anytime soon so-"

"You should stop I don't deserve you after this find someone better" Tenten bit her lip as she also began crying. "I'm being stupid everyone else can deal with problems normally but I have to hurt myself to do it" they both sat crying "you should have let me die". Tenten flung her arms around Sakura sobbing loudly while Sakura stared ahead trying to stop her tears "We should break up I'm only an extra burden".

"No don't leave me" Tenten gripped her tighter

"I think you'd best listen to her" Mrs Haruno stood looking slightly smug she must have only heard the last thing Sakura said "go on get out". Tenten looked between the two considering opposing them both but Sakura's gaze was stony her eyes closed off so Tenten left she ran straight out the ward. Mrs Haruno watched her go looking very smug indeed she may have been slightly thankful that Tenten helped save Sakura's life but she had changed her daughter so she was glad she had left.

"Now then are you going to put this silly girl liking business behind you now and take things seriously?"

"No now leave me alone I don't want to talk to you"

"I'm your mother-"

"What happened to 'you're no daughter of mine' a few weeks ago hmm like me again now I tried to top myself do you" She was taken back slightly by Sakura's biting tone so kept silent.

****

Sakura was almost as cold as Gaara over the next four days shunning her mother's attempts to get her to see a psychiatrist and medicate her. On the fifth day her father came over for breakfast she sat at the table refusing to talk pushing her cereal moodily around in her bowl glaring at the wall. "Come with me" Sakura glanced up as her mother pushed her chair away from the table "we're going out" Sakura looked at her father searching for some answers in his eyes but he was looking down at the table.

"Tell me where the hell I'm going first" she glared at Sakura before striding over to her and grabbing her arm

"Get up now I don't have to tell you anything" her father looked up shooting a warning glance at her which she ignored and proceeded to drag Sakura from her chair. Her father stood and followed as Sakura was pulled out the front door towards the car. "You go get her things"

"Are you kicking me out?"Sakura began to struggle against her mother's grip who responded by digging her manicured talons into Sakura's skin making her wince slightly she was thrown carelessly into the back of the car the door slammed on her. Mrs Haruno tapped her foot impatiently glaring at Sakura she watched her father reappear carrying a suitcase her shoulders slumped clearly she was getting kicked out. Her mother snatched it from him they exchanged a few sharp words as she shoved it into the boot before climbing into the driver's seat her father joined Sakura in the back. He smiled sadly at her and patted her hand that lay limply by her side "I'm sorry kido".

She didn't reply and looked down at her lap as the car was swerved quickly out of the drive she stayed silent throughout the drive. When the car jerked to a stop she didn't look up as her father patted her hand again or as the door was flung open and her mother latched on to her again. The building in front of them wasn't very tall only two storeys she only looked when her mother pressed on an intercom and said

"This is Mrs Haruno here with my daughter for an appointment with doctor Taiama"

"Alright come in" the door buzzed and she watched her mother's hands push it open she directed her gaze towards the receptionist next who was smiling brightly

"Bitch"

"Sakura be quiet" she was pushed into one of the uncomfortable wicker chairs her mother sat opposite to her while her father slumped next to her rubbing his jaw looking suddenly so much older. Sakura dropped her gaze again and clenched her fists she was angry being forced here so she took to glaring at anyone who dared look at her she noticed that the door at the other end of the room also had a code locked door.

"Hello Mrs. and Mr. Haruno and this must be Sakura" the voice was kind and leaked the knowledge the person who spoke possessed Sakura looked up the doctor was a middle aged woman with short mousy brown hair. Her mother and father stood and shook her hand she smiled and gestured towards her office.

Sakura followed grudgingly the office which was plain professional the only personal touch was the picture on wall of the doctor presumably with her husband. "Now when we met five days ago we discussed the possibility of admitting Sakura into our ward after her suicide attempt"

"You bitch" Mrs Haruno ignored Sakura

"Ah I see you didn't tell Sakura about this then disregarding my recommendations to do so" her father looked down while her mother crossed her arms and raised a groomed eyebrow at the doctor. Sakura looked between the two before looking back at the doctor giving her the best glare she could muster. The doctor took no notice as she began to sift through the papers on her desk "Sakura this is an adolescent psychiatric ward and you are here today because your parents are admitting you into our care".

"For how long"

"You stay isn't fixed it depends on many things such as the course of treatments whether it be medication or intensive therapy maybe all you need is some time to rest and a talk with a professional or to meet others like yourself" Sakura remained silent and her mother and father moved forward to sign the paperwork she looked up catching a glimpse of a few words that angered her.

"Fuck you"

"Sakura be quiet" she pushed her chair back and glared at her mother the doctor sat smiling pleasantly reminding Sakura strongly of Sai her father's shoulders slumped as he looked between the two.

"It'll be ok Sakura"

"Why are you even agreeing to this?"

"You're mother has sole custody so she's in charge" the doctor took the now signed papers looking over them and nodding before looking back at them.

"Now Sakura I'm going to take you into the unit so say goodbye to your parents you'll see them again soon" she didn't do as the doctor asked and just stood glaring shrugging her father off when he tried to hug her.

"Don't worry Sakura you'll be fine" she glared at her parents as the doctor stood and held the door open for them again. Her mother strode through it first looking back angrily at Sakura and her father who reluctantly followed returning in a few minutes holding the suitcase he had packed for her. The doctor shook his hand and motioned for Sakura to follow her as she walked from her office to the set of doors Sakura had been looking at before with the keypad to the side which the doctor quickly typed in a six digit code.

Sakura took the suitcase from her father and followed the doctor she looked back at him till he was dragged away by her mother. She decided to at least listen to the doctor as she had to stay here for god knows how long "now to the left are where the girls sleep to the right the boys this room in front of you is the nurses' station next to it is the weighing room those stairs lead up to individual meeting rooms and some of the nurses offices" they began to walk down what appeared to be the main corridor "these rooms are used for meeting with the patients and their parents or a case review to the left is the activity room up those stairs is the units school the room in front is the kitchen to the right is the dining room and to the left is sort of like a living room where most patients spend their spare time when they aren't in the activity room now any questions"

"Am I sharing a room?"

"No at the moment you are presenting a risk to yourself and possibly others so you'll get a room of your own for now when you've made some progress you might share a room now let's get you settled into your room". Sakura picked up the suitcase and followed her as she passed the rooms she looked into ones who's doors were open most were empty but the few that weren't the occupiers stared back curiously at her. The room was plain with a small wardrobe against the wall at the base of the single bed where Sakura swung her suitcase it also had a window with cream curtains hanging loosely either side of it. The doctor left her with another smile she sunk onto the bed looking around the room as if putting me in here will help a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Whoever had knocked merely pushed it open when she didn't reply there stood two people a girl with bright hair thick rimmed glasses and a boy dressed in purple and blue smiled with unusually sharp teeth.

"So Suigetsu was right you are pretty I'm Karin by the way" the girl stood with her hands on her hips while the boy continued to smile so maybe staying here won't be so bad people already want to talk to me.
