Sasuke let out a jagged breath as he slowly turned around. There stood Sakura smiling. Sasuke practically tackled her in a hug, knocking them both to the ground.

"Where the hell were you?" he asked as he stood then helped her up. She slightly

smiled.

"Oh, I went for a walk. I have a lot on my mind right now" she crossed her arms as she put some distance between her and Sasuke. He looked at her from head to toe then into her eyes. They were still a pale lovely green but something was missing. They still didn't hold love or happiness they once had. They held pain and disgust.

"Sakura" Sasuke said softly. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into their room. "Look at me" he said. She obeyed and let her lifeless eyes slowly drift to meet his "It wasn't your fault" he said tenderly.

"What wasn't my fault?" her gaze shot to the floor

"Him raping you. It wasn't your fault."

Sakura looked back up at him with tears silently rolling down her cheek. "Hn. That's easy for you to say. I bet you don't even want me after what happened." she looked into his eyes for a brief moment then buried her face in her hands.

"Sakura" Sasuke wrapped his arms around her "I'll always want you. As long as you want me here, I'll always be here."

Sakura struggled against his hug. "Get away!" she screamed as she backed away crying. "How could you want me? I'm dirty, tainted...I-I-I'm nothing!" she hugged her knees to her chest as she sat there crying.

Sasuke sat there looking at her. His heart was silently breaking as he watched his love fall apart in front of him. "Sakura," he said gently before standing up and pacing the length of the room. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb. A bolt of rage suddenly filled him. He punched the wall leaving a hole in it. "Damn!" he screamed as he started pacing again "I'm going to kill the bastard! He won't get away with this!" he mumbled more to him self as he paced.

Sakura sat looking at Sasuke with fear filled eyes. Sasuke slowly calmed down and heavily sighed. He looked at her and mumbled something else to himself. He walked to the door and looked to the right. Naruto and Kakashi were standing there leaning against the wall next to the door.

"Naruto" Sasuke said as he closed the door as he walked out "I want you to go in there with her. I need to take a walk. And what ever you do, don't talk about what happened or...better yet...don't talk to her" he glared at Naruto as he walked away shoving his hands in his pockets.

Sakura looked up with fear in her eyes as Naruto walked in. She laid her head on her knees and cried. "I knew it" she said so soft Naruto almost didn't hear it.

'Oh god. He said not to talk to her...' Naruto thought to him self as he sat on the couch on the other side of the room. 'Screw him' he thought as he went and sat on the bed next the one Sakura was huddled up on.

"Knew what?" Naruto asked her as softly as he could.

"He doesn't want me anymore!" Sakura's lifeless green eyes looked up to meet glowing blue ones.

"Why wouldn't he want you?" he narrowed his eyes in confusion.

"I'm ruined, torn...dirty..." she sniffled a little "Sasuke deserves someone better then me!" her tears began to roll down her pale cheeks faster when she said 'his' name.

Naruto's face crinkled in confusion then softened alittle. "He...Itachi.." he cleared his throat "What did he do to you?"

"He fucking raped me!" Sakura suddenly stood up and ripped the sheets off the bed. Next she walked into the bathroom and with one motion swiped everything off the counter and to the floor.

"Sakrua!" Naruto jumped up. He grabbed her from behind and pulled the struggling girl from the bathroom. "Calm down!"

"No!" She screamed as she kicked to try and get away. "He doesn't want me anymore!" she got lose from Naruto's grip and knocked over the chair before she was once again restrained in Naruto's grip. "Why did he leave me! I needed him! That bastard!" she yelled as she started to calm down. She twisted her way around and tightly hugged Naruto.

Naruto hugged her back knowing she needed some comfort. "It's going to be alright. Sasuke still wants you" he ran his hand down the back of her head "He just went for a walk. He's coming back for you."

Sakura sat on the bed and hugged her knees to her chest again. "How could he want me?" she sobbed "I'll take him if he wants me...but how could he want me?" she looked down. "He deserves someone pure and someone that can give him a happy life."

"And you can't do that?" Naruto sat down on the bed next to her "Why don't you think you can give him a happy life?"

"I...I" she paused and looked at him "I just can't." she sighed and looked away.

"I know me and Sasuke aren't best of friends...but I think he will be happy with you. Just being with you will make him happy." he looked at her. His bright blue eyes were soft and caring.

"But I don't deserve him" she wiped the tears away.

"And why don't you? You haven't did anything wrong!" he snapped with out thinking "You didn't ask to be raped by that bastard! You do deserve a happy life. A happy life with Sasuke!"

Sakura didn't reply but looked at Naruto. Her gaze drifted past him when she heard the door knob being twishted.

"What the hell happened here?" Sasuke quickly jumped over the mess and sat next to Sakura. "Are you okay?" he looked at her then at Naruto. "What the hell did you do! I told you not to fucking talk to her!"

"She talked first!" Naruto quickly jumped up "And what was I supposed to do when she went on her little rampage! Let her hurt herself! I don't think so. So you can shut the hell up!" he stormed out of the room.

Sasuke sighed. He turned his attention back to Sakura, who was looking at him. Sasuke went to put his arm around her but she jumped and moved back away from him. Sasuke sighed again and stood up. "I promise I'll be right back." he made his way back out the door. When he closed it he leaned back against it. He slid down it and now was sitting on the ground.

"How she doing?" a voice came from his right side.

"As good as can be expected after what happened." he closed his eyes, not needing to look over to know it was Kakashi. "She won't let me touch her." he sighed

"It's to be expected" Kakashi walked in front of Sasuke and leaned against the railing facing the dark haired boy.

"I'm not going to push her. I'm going to let her recover at her own speed." he opened his eyes and looked at Kakashi.

"I think that's all you can do right now"

"And I'm not going to leave her. I love her to much to leave her." he leaned his head back against the door and sighed. "I better get back in there" he slowly and sighed.

"Sasuke" Kakashi said before Sasuke opened the door "Don't think it's your fault. And I think your doing your best to help her recover...even though I don't think anyone really recovers from this."

"I do feel like it's my fault. If only I'd found her faster or fought harder or something" he sighed and walked back into the room with out another word.
