{Breaking of trust and a team}
Sakura's emerald eyes never left Hinatas pearl ones they just couldn't their eyes never wavered from each other the two were fighting for dominance Sakura always wins this but Hinata had something that shined in her eyes to make Sakura back down for once Sakura snatched her wrist back and averted her eyes to her sword on the ground
Sakura walked to her sword on the ground and sheathed it her emerald eyes held furry at Hinata as they look back at her
"Let's talk, Hyuga." Sakura hissed Hinatas last name with venom she didn't know why but something was overcoming her senses and was letting this darkness in her out
Hinatas eyes narrowed Sakura never talked to her like that Hinata looked Sakura in the eyes and was tempted to take a step back Sakura's eyes looked menacing like she was ready to rip your throat out for fun Hinata shook her head she had to face Sakura
Hinata turned around and started walking but stopped and took a quick glance at Sakura
"Follow." she commanded and disappeared into dark dust that vanished in the wind
Sakura smirked evilly as she disappeared herself but she disappeared into red petals of roses this time
The two never cared about the audience watching the scene in front of them
{+}
When Sakura appeared in the room Hinata wanted to talk in she expected what was to come like the smack that hit her face
SMACK!
There was a red handprint on Sakura's left cheek
"How dare you lie to me." Hinata hissed venom dripping on every word that could be heard
"You're my captain! My friend! Do you know how I feel right now!?" Hinata was shaking in anger she felt so betrayed by Sakura she couldn't even think rational right now "You're supposed to be honest with me!" Hinata started to shake "You have the disease don't you!?" Hinata yelled shaking more trying to block the tears out she just stood there waiting for an answer "Yes I do." she heard Sakura say that's when Hinata froze all thoughts of hope that it wasn't the disease vanished.
Hinata hugged herself as she shook the tears were rolling down her cheeks at a fast rate she couldn't think of anything else she was losing her captain her friend all over again
"It's no big deal Hinata. I'm looking for a cure that was why I was in rain." Sakura explained not affected at all of how Hinata was acting
Hinata looked up at Sakura's face only to see her emotionless eyes looking down at her with no sign of any sympathy or fear it was like she didn't care but she said she was looking for a cure Hinata grabbed Sakura's arm and stared her in the eye tears still falling she was showing weakness but she didn't care
"Why do you say it like you don't care!?" Hinata yelled shaking Sakura she wanted to run away hoping this was a goddamn nightmare
Sakura's eyes narrowed at Hinata and of how she was shaking her
"Shinobi rule #25 A shinobi must never show their tears." Sakura reprimanded Hinata getting out of her tight grip Hinata stared in shock at Sakura as her emerald eyes got darker with a dark intent in them
"Sakura this isn't you please…...you never cared about the shinobi rules." Hinata said to her trying to reason with her
Sakura stared at her and smirked big
"Well maybe i should have stuck to them look at you showing emotions over something trivial like this." Sakura said darkly
Hinata back away in shock
"Sakura what's happening to you?" Hinata questioned
Sakura ignored her question and was about to walk away until she felt and hand on her shoulder
"Sakura what the hell is going on with you!" Hinata yelled her anger back full force now
Sakura's emerald eyes still had that look as she eyes Hinata
"If you can't deal with my teachings then leave Hyuga." Sakura spat at her anger clear in her voice
Hinatas eyes widen
"Sakura you don't mean that." Hinata tried reasoning with her as she tried to get near her
Sakura pushed her away her head was hurting her neck was also she could feel the curse mark spreading Hinata could see it also the mark made Hinata freeze in fear
Sakura's hands shot up to cover the mark but the markings were spreading over half her body
"I want you off this team and to stay away from me." Sakura spat at Hinata making her eyes widen and new tears were in her eyes
Hinata shook her head
"Fine then Haruno so be it." Hinata hissed walking to the door Hinata opened it and stared walking out it when it started to close she said some last words to Sakura
"We're on our own from here Haruno goodbye ex-captain." Hinata said what she needed to say as the door shut and her chakra faded from the room
Sakura's eyes widen at what she has down she just lost her best friend her teammate the one she told everything to Sakura fell to her knees and started to punch the ground as the mark spread further tears were falling
"Why!?" Sakura cried out in pain as she started to cough up blood now she fell to the ground in agonizing pain she couldn't take it anymore she wanted to die she wanted to end it but she knew she had to stay fighting this was for her team for everyone for the future she had to fight Sakura's eyes started to close she was exhausted she smiled she welcomes this feeling she wanted to sleep for eternity she could see a blur slam the door open she heard the blur yell her name in worry and shock
"Sakura!"
Sakura closed her eyes not wanting to wake up again in this sick nightmare
{+}
Kakashi paced back and forth in the infirmary he was watching as Sakura slept he sealed that mark on her neck finally so he got it under control now Kakashi stopped pacing and looked at Sakura seeing her chest rise softly and hearing her soft snores
"Kakashi how is she?"
Kakashi spun around to see who spoke only to see the third hokage standing the doorway
"Hokage-sama." Kakashi bowed to him in respect
Hiruzen smiled at Kakashi but it soon came off when he looked at the state Sakura was in "This young girl is supposed to save our world." Hiruzen stated walking to her bedside passing Kakashi and not giving him a glance
Kakashi stood up and watched him approach Sakura
"Sakura haruno will change this world Kakashi rather people like it or not this world that is covered in chaos and bloodshed it all will end once she makes a stand." Hiruzen said staring at Sakuras stomach "She has a tailed beast in her I assume?"
Kakashi nodded at his question
Hiruzen frowned
"She's a target like Naruto is to the Akatsuki and Danzo…" Hiruzen muttered as he pulled Sakura's shirt up to show her stomach to him "That sealing technique…" his eyes narrowed at the seal on her stomach "I've never seen something like this before.." Hiruzen stated
Kakashi just continued to watch Hiruzen
"Neither have i. Sensei's seals were never like this." Kakashi said to him
Hiruzen nods to him but before he can speak a ninja came running into the room
"Lord Third you received a message back from Tsunade-hime!" Hiruzen walked away from Sakura hurrying up to contact tsunade "Kakashi watch over Sakura cause of how vulnerable she is right now." the third ordered
"Hai!"
Hiruzen was about out the door when he stopped
"Everyone was assigned there partner in the finals…" he glanced at Sakura seeing her breathing softly "Sakura has a fight that will make her choose between winning or losing." Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the third "Who is she fighting?" Kakashi questioned hiruzen sighed "Hinata Hyuga." he was out the door before Kakashi can give a response back to him
Kakashi's eyes widen
"No…."
{+}
Sakura stared into the abyss she didn't know where she was
"Why am I here?" Sakura asked shakily but all she got was a hissing noise that sounded like it was coming from everywhere it was so loud to where Sakura covered her ears "Shut up!" she screamed in pain her eardrums hurting from the noise
"Ssssakura."
Sakura's eyes widen as a figure appeared in front of her and the hissing stopped
"O-orochimaru!" Sakura yelled in anger
Orochimaru just smiled at her and licked his lips which made Sakura shiver in disgust
"Sakura-chan you want to save everyone right?" Orochimaru asked already knowing the answer but asked anyway
Sakura looked at him teeth clenched in anger but her eyes soon widen at the scene in front of her Orochimaru slowly was fading away giving Sakura a clear view of what was going on
"So you came after me." the person stated with a hood up hiding their face from view
The other person nods and smiles slightly
"Yes I have."
The hooded figure shook their head in disgust at the persons motive
"Our team is dead…I'm not coming back."
The person gulped but took a step forward
"Sasuke! You're coming back to the village!"
Sasuke took his hood off and smirked
"Make me Sakura."
Sakura clutched her head and screamed at the scene in front of her
"See Sakura-chan? That's what is going to happen cause you can't save them." Orochimaru stated appearing next to her
Sakura looked at him shaking
"I can't l-let the past repeat." Sakura muttered to herself shaking
Orochimaru laughed
"Are you planning on saving this world also?" Orochimaru asked her
Sakura nods
"Saving your team and your village…you won't make it." Orochimaru stated staring at her no longer laughing at her
Sakura glared at him and stopped shaking
"I will watch me!" Sakura yelled
Orochimaru snorted at her
"You don't have the power." Orochimaru stated "You're not strong enough to save your friends or village." Orochimaru grinned at her as he started taunting her
"Shut up!" Sakura screamed
Orochimaru laughed
"If you want more power than you have girl, then come to me and I'll give you the power you deserve." Orochimaru started to fade away
Sakura's vision became blurry and she felt herself finally falling in the abyss
{+}
Naruto paced back and forth in his teammates hospital room he was waiting for her to wake up "Kakashi-sensei when will Sakura-chan wake up?" Naruto asked fearful for his team mate
Kakashi looked at Naruto with his one onyx eye
"I don't know Naruto." Kakashi said to his student
Sasuke just stared at the ground thinking back to the forest of death but he started hearing the heart monitor getting louder all of them did
"Sakura!" they all yell hearing it grow louder
Sakura's eyes shot open and all she felt was agonizing pain in her body she shook and screamed her lungs out in agony
"Ahhhh!" Sakura screamed tears in her eyes
Doctors and nurses came running into the room to Sakura's side
"She's going into shock!" one of the nurses yelled
"We have to stabilize her!"
Sakura started coughing up blood
"Get them out of here!" the doctor yelled
The nurses started pushing team seven out of the room
"Wait in the waiting room I'll come get you when we stabilized her." the nurse said shutting the door in their face
Naruto dropped to his knees shaking at what he saw happened to Sakura
"K-kakashi-sensei….is Sakura okay?" Naruto asked tears in his eyes
Kakashi put his hand on Naruto's shoulder
"I don't know Naruto but its Sakura she'll survive this and heal." Kakashi said giving him a fake smile to hopefully calm him down
{+}
Kakashi bowed his head as he sat down in a chair he was clenching his fist hard enough to draw blood he just felt like a failure to his student and team!
'Sakura….what else are you hiding from us?' Kakashi thought closing his one eye hiding the despair in it
"Sakura-chan is alright! She has to be!" Naruto said smiling and laughing some "She has…to be." Naruto closed his eyes and bit his lip
Sasuke glared at the ground he was weak he can't save his team mates what makes you think he can defeat his brother! Sasuke clenched his jaw in anger can he even avenge his clan? His mother? His father? He was weak he was so tired of being left behind by these two! Sasuke closed his eyes close to snapping at Naruto
"Shut it." he growled out in anger causing Naruto and Kakashi to look at him "I said shut up!" he yelled his eyes napping opening showing blood red eyes not his onyx eyes
Naruto stared at him in shock but it turned to anger
"Don't you care about her teme!?" Naruto yelled getting into Sasuke's face glaring at him
Sasuke glared at Naruto
"Why don't you shut up dobe!" Sasuke yelled
Naruto's eyes flashed red and he jumped at Sasuke successfully punching him in the face
Kakashi appeared in front of them grabbing both of them looking at them in disappointment and sadness
"Is this how a team is supposed to be!?" Kakashi was so furious with how they acted he taught them better than this "You're genin soon to be chunin! Act you age! You're both mature!" Kakashi held them tighter now trying not to shake "You're a team…teammates need each other more than you both think…Sakura needs you both right now…when she wakes up she wants a healthy team not a team who is falling apart set aside your differences and move on…for your team for your self's."
There was footsteps coming their way
"Hatake-san?" a small timid voice called out to him
Kakashi turned around to see a nurse
"May we speak in private?"
Kakashi nods and let's go of his students and makes sure to give them a look to behave
The nurse looks at the two genin
"She is stable you may go see her. Hatake-san come with me." the nurse said
Kakashi followed behind after her hoping Sasuke and Naruto don't kill each other
{+}
Naruto stared at the floor not wanting to look at his teammates motionless form "Sakura-chan…" Naruto smiled "Wake up soon you have a month to get ready for the finals…you're facing Hinata-chan…" Naruto faked laugh at that "Isn't that weird? You and Hinata-chan facing off to show who is stronger." Naruto grabbed Sakura's hand "So please for everyone wake up soon…for teme also."
Sasuke looked at Sakura and looked away he couldn't stand looking at her that way it just hurt him knowing he couldn't protect her from Orochimaru…he knew he was weak he just wants more power to protect everyone he cares about he doesn't want them dead again
"Yes Sakura wake up for us you have to show us in the finals the real power you have." Sasuke started walking up beside Naruto
Naruto looked at him and smiled
"Yea! I know you and Hinata-chan will put up a good fight!" Naruto said hoping to get a response from her
There were footsteps behind them that could only belong to one person
"Sensei what did the nurse want to say to you about Sakura's condition?" Sasuke asked looking up at him
Kakashi looked blankly at Sasuke and then to Sakura trying to keep the emotions at bay right now he couldn't lose it in front of Sasuke and Naruto
"They said she is stable but has a punctured lung that is why started coughing up blood like that." Kakashi lied to them
They all look at Sakura not knowing what to say anymore the room was tense they all felt it the silence felt like it was a life time till Kakashi spoke
"I think it's best you boys go home and pack you have senseis ready to train you. Sasuke you have me and Naruto you have Ebisu." Kakashi gave him a look when he saw Naruto ready to protest against it
Naruto crossed his arms together over his chest mumbling to himself-angry that he got a perv for a sensei for the month while Sasuke has Kakashi
"Now go boys."
Sasuke and Naruto walked out of the room going to get ready for their intense training for the month
Kakashi walked up to Sakura his one eye showing the emotions finally hurt, pain, loss, lonely, sadness were all flashing in his eye
"W-why Sakura? Why did you hide this from me? A disease is killing you! How can you just ignore this and still smile with the team with knowing you might be gone! Sakura just please tell me the truth about everything no more lies! Just…please." Kakashi shook with sobs pouring out what was on his mind
Sakura twitched
Kakashi was too busy sobbing to notice her twitch
"S-sakura just wake up…please." Kakashi whispered in her ear and kissed Sakura's forehead and walked out to overcome with his emotions to notice a presence in the darkness
The person walked into the light wearing a fake smile that person was Sai
"It seems you're finally alone now is my chance." Sai stated to the unconscious Sakura on the hospital bed
Sakura lay there she was slowly waking up as Sai appeared by her side in a fast rate and covered her mouth
"It's time to come with us."
Sakura's eyes widen as she tried to scream but was still too exhausted to do anything not even lift a muscle
Sai finally captured konoha's number one captain and ninja
