"Well you killed the old Sakura when you left her at the gate. This all started because of you. Remember that Sasuke, when I die it will be your fault." Pushing him away from her she moved and left the bathroom to leave Sasuke in his thoughts, and stare at her in all her naked glory well she went.
This was the final straw; Sasuke had come upon her again trying to take her life, this time a kunai wrenched in her gut. Sasuke rushed her to the hospital once more for her rehabilitation. AnBu stood outside her doors not long after he exited.
Guard and security had been upped and Sakura was placed in lock down. All weapons were removed from her body and all sharp objects from her surroundings. Having her under 24-hour watch she was also placed in rehab. Slowly she seemed to get better, pulling out of her darkness. She started to get closer to her friends again talking and hanging out with them. Naruto was his same old self but he was still weighing heavy with everything that happened. Sasuke was the same cold person, but it seemed he was more careful about what he said around the unstable girl.
Sakura was still quiet and she didn't really talk that much, her bright spirit had yet to return. She was always gloomy and such, not becoming of a young lady.
The villagers would whisper their disapproval of her actions but that did nothing to aid her in her recovery. Her time out in the village was limited after an attempt on someone's life. Not that you should feel bad for him, he told Sakura she should be locked away and that a ninja of her caliber shouldn't go so low, and that maybe she should have died, she was a menace to the village and an insult to its name. The news had spread across all ninja that the Hokage's pupil had attempted in the taking of her life.
Not even that fazed her. It was Naruto that had jumped the boy but it was she who was blamed, and because she nether admitted or denied the accusation she was placed under heavier security. (Nobody listens to Naruto (he tried to say it was him))
Sakura sat in the forest surrounded by all her friends. The day was nice out but the scent rain was on the air. She smiled with them as they laughed at Naruto.
"I'm going to kill you teme." Naruto called out as he jumped Sasuke barreling them to the ground.
"You idiot."
"Oh Naruto-kun be careful." Hinata freaked out over Naruto's fight with the once missing nin.
"Don't get blood on me." Sakura added. "I don't have much that they will let me wear." she complained.
"Oh Sakura don't worry, k. Tsunade-sama is just worried about you."
"What's there to worry about Hinata? I'm obviously not going anywhere and it's not like anyone will trust me enough to leave me by myself or let me do something without watch. And there is everyone trying to make me feel bad for what I did, like it's my fault that I hate myself when everyone around me caused these feelings and were so caught up with themselves to even notice me there. Tsunade thinks I will think about my actions and feel bad for them; that I will regret it when all I have to do is lie and I'm free." She muttered to herself.
Hinata caught most of it but she didn't understand all of it.
"Sakura-chan there is nothing we wouldn't do to help you."
"Then tell me the truth, I what total honesty. What do you think about what I did? And what is the real reason you all make a point to stay around me and see me?"
"No Sakura, we want to be with you."
"Yeah. What Hinata said." Ino agreed.
"Hokage-sama threatened us, so did Naruto." Neji said from her left side. "She thinks it will make you feel like everyone cares about you."
"Thank you Neji for telling me the truth. It seems you are the only one who will not lie. All anyone cares about is the Hokage. They treat me like glass about to break, that if they aren't careful I'll shatter to millions of pieces. I do not want sympathy." She grounded out.
"Oh Sakura don't listen to Neji-san he doesn't know anything."
"Maybe everyone is right. I shouldn't have done that. I was just trying to escape the world around me. I was being weak and taking the cheep way out. But…forget it. I'm sorry to inconvenience you all. It is going to rain and I should leave just like the rest of you. Sasuke if you don't mind I wish to be alone away from people. I need to sort out my thoughts and figure out what to do next. Gomen na, I'll see you back at the manor later tonight." With that she pumped chakra into her legs and jetted off into the surrounding trees.
"Damn it. You moron now look what you did. She wasn't suppose to be on her own." Sasuke swore hitting Naruto over the head and into the ground.
"What did I do? You're the one who was told to watch her."
"You fuckin' distracted me Idiot." Swearing to himself Sasuke ran into the forest to chase after the pink hair kunoichi.
Farther away from them Sakura landed on a cliff overlooking the vast acres that ran on for miles on end.
'Nothing is quiet as it seems now. Nothing is as good as it was before. Being a kid is easy but now things have changed.'
Sakura watched as the dark clouds rolled in with the pounding promise of a storm. She smiled grimly up at the sky. "Run little bunnies fear the rage that surrounds you, and fall pity to those you believe will save you." She laughed lightly. "Rage storm, show no mercy to those who have been condemned."
Slowly rained down, the calm before the storm. But soon she stood there before the storm just waiting.
Sasuke looked for her but could not find her. The storm had started and it was rain harshly to the ground. He had begun to lose his balance and decided to head back and inform the Hokage of what had happened. AnBu should be out searching for her soon after.
Rain fell to the ground below as the gods thundered down from the skies. The earth below their feet shook with the anger of the gods and titans. Many people would back down in her spot but she never backed down from a challenge like this. She would brave anything to get to her dreams, to fulfill her deepest and sacred fantasies. What would be so much as to make her brave the worst storm of the century? Well that was something only she knew.
In her own world of darkness and shadows she found a reason to justify her actions and it is this reason that keeps her going. She had things going on in her head that even the brightest minds of the world could ever figure out. But she could, that was what made her the perfect weapon. She could calculate the projectory of any item and determine what others could only with math and equations well with her it was all the thought of mind, and the simple problems of everyday life.
Things weren't always this way; she was a love sick child once but matured past that stage years ago. That was the first change she ever made. She has never had that gentle sweet and kind look in her eyes again all this time. Nothing affects her any longer, the threat of death doesn't scare her and nothing else matters enough to provide reason to fear.
As emotionless as a stone, but just as hot on a summer day.
She has abandoned who she was for who she now is. But now it is time to pull back the old mask out of the closet.
A/N: Ok' there it is. I had to fix a lot of it and it didn'd mean what I wanted it to but that is ok got the same point across. Well review if you like it. If I fon't get at least 15 reviews i may stop the story. I know may people like the original. And if you don't review you grow closer to losing the story. I have other things to do so I don't have to do this.
