Sakura's P.O.V.
It was a dark day on this Friday morning. It was gloomy and was depressing. No parent should have to bury their child. An infant at that.
The last time Sakura attended a funeral was her father's. She never seen her mother cry so much before in her life. That was the beginning of the downfall. Sakura was unaware of how big the Uchiha family was. Sasuke or Itachi never talked about them. Or bothered to mention them at all. After meeting Madara, Sakura understood why.
The wake seemed like the worst part. For the final viewing of the body, before they closed the casket, Izumi broke down. She screamed in agonizing pain. She yelled at God to bring back her child. Her infant daughter. Itachi stayed by her side the entire time. Right now he needed to be her shoulders. You could see the pain on Itachi's face from the lost of his child. If he shed a tear only Izumi would see.
Once the service was over everyone waited for the casket to be carried out into the hearse. Immediate family followed it back to the funeral home for cremation while the rest were told to go to the Uchiha house for the reception.
"Sasuke." Itachi said putting his hands on his brother's shoulder. "Take Sakura and Riri back to the house. Izumi and I have to make our final goodbyes. Watch over the house until we get back."
"Hn." Sasuke said. "Let's go Sakura." He said grabbing her hand. They walked over to the car and got in. Sakura watched as Sasuke took in a heavy breath and leaned back in his seat. She placed her hand on his. "Are you okay?"
"I really don't know what's worse: my niece's funeral or you meeting my family." The raven haired boy said.
"Your entire family can't be that bad." She said trying to reason. Maybe Madara was the only one like that.
Sasuke turned to Sakura with a blank expression. "My family members are nothing but a bunch of sadistic, uptight, snobby and egotistic imbeciles that care about nothing but popularity, status and money. If you think for one second that this reception is going to be peaceful for you and Riri think again."
Sakura stared at him blankly. She expected something like this but had a little faith that his family was less difficult than Madara. She lose all of it after his statement.
"Look. The best thing you can do is avoid them by any means cost. The day will go by faster."
"Okay…"
"If things get too drastic just go to the cottage house." Sasuke put his hand on Sakura's cheek. He brushed his thumb against her soft skin. Sakura could feel her face grow hot. She could feel the affection from him. Something she could only feel from Sasuke.
They headed back to the house. The drive way was piling up with vehicles. Porsches, Lamborghinis, Mercedes-Benz and more. Sakura knew they were rich but didn't know that the Uchiha family was loaded. Millions of dollars were parked right outside.
After Sasuke parked his car he walked along side of Sakura to the front door. Sakura noticed two men stood on the side of the steps. Both smoking cigarettes chatting. Their conversation stopped as they seen the three of them walking up. Sakura recognized them from the funeral. They both looked young. Possibly the same age as Sasuke or even a year or two older. One had dark short spiky haired and the other had straight dark hair that stopped to his shoulders.
"Well isn't it the rebel." The spiky haired one said taking the last puff of his cigarette.
"And I see you brought some friends." The straight haired one said staring at Sakura all over. She could feel a chill go through her body.
Sakura was taken by surprise when she felt the gripped tighten on her hand.
"Ignore them Sakura." He said making them continue walking.
"Too good to speak to your own cousins huh?" One said.
Sasuke opened the door and the entered the house. Sakura was in shook. Not because the full house but because everyone looked alike. Fair skin, dark hair, red or onyx eyes…. Sakura and Riri were the only ones that stood out with green eyes and pink hair. She could feel the eyes staring at them.
"Who is that with Sasuke?"
"Another random girl?"
"She doesn't even look rich."
"Is that a child with them?"
"Sasuke always picked easy girls."
"Look at that dress. So tacky."
"That hair color is ridiculous."
"She needs to dye that hideous color."
"She needs to lose some weight as well."
Sakura ignored the insults. None of these were compared to her Mother's mouth.
They walked their way into the living room. Sasuke found enough room for the three of them to sit. Sakura was uncomfortable around his family. She felt the unpleasant vibe in the house. After a few minutes of sitting she spotted a plump older woman walking in their direction. Once the woman came up close enough she gave Sasuke a bright smile. "It has been a while my dear nephew." She spoke.
"Aunt Uruchi." Sasuke said smiling. He stood up and gave her a hug before sitting back down. "How have you been?"
"This old woman is still kicking it. You're Uncle is here somewhere. How are you?"
"I'm doing just fine."
Her direction made it over to Sakura. "Well aren't you going to introduce me to this beautiful young lady?" She said smiling at Sakura.
"This is Sakura. My girlfriend auntie. And this is my step daughter Riri."
Sakura blushes at Sasuke's introduction. "It's nice to meet you ma'am!" She blurted out.
"It is certainly nice to meet you as well. You take care of my nephew now. And you better take care of these young ladies." Uruchi fussed.
"You have nothing to worry about auntie."
"Well let me go find your uncle before he finds the sake. It was nice meeting you Sakura and Riri."
"Same to you Mrs. Uruchi."
Once his aunt walked away Sakura leaned towards Sasuke. "I thought you said avoid them?"
"My aunt and uncle will be the only decent ones. Don't press your luck with the rest." Sasuke answered.
There were a few servers in the house to pass out drinks and food to family. One of them came by and offered bottles of water to them. "Thank you." Sakura said taking them. "Don't work too hard today please."
"I'll try my best not to." The server said. She was dressed in a black and white attire with her blonde hair tied into a high ponytail.
"I thirsty." Riri told Sakura.
"Here baby. Drink some water." She said unscrewing the top and give her the bottle. Her tiny hands grasped the water bottle and she took a few sips of the cold liquid. Sakura took the bottle from her and screwed the top back on.
"She should be getting hungry soon." Sasuke said to Sakura.
"Yeah she hasn't eaten since this morning." She said patting the small child on the head.
"I'll go look for her something to snack on. The server is working hard enough." Sasuke said standing up.
"No sugar." The pink haired girl told him.
"Hn."
As Sasuke disappeared into the kitchen Sakura could feel the eyes lock on her. She heard the snickering of a group of girls that stood a few feet away from her. They were looking dead at her and Riri.
'Just ignore them… don't draw any attention towards yourself…'
The one with the long hair hinted a signal to the others. She must have been the leader. Once they received the signal they headed towards the pink haired girl.
'I better go meet Sasuke.' She said standing up and started to walk away. But it was as if the girls teleported to her because the leader grabbed onto Sakura's arm and turned her around.
"Leaving so soon?" She smirked.
"What's so special about her anyway?"
"Yeah what does Sasuke see in her anyway?"
"I hope he doesn't plan on marrying you. Just look at that terrible hair color. Your forehead is huge and that Ralph Lauren dress you're wearing is so last year." The leader said. Her eyes focused on Riri. "Wow. I doubt that child is for Sasuke. She has no Uchiha genes at all."
"He must have felt sorry for her."
"Yeah. Sasuke isn't about to take care of someone else's child."
"I doubt Itachi likes you."
"Why are you here anyway?"
"I don't believe this is the time and place for mess. I'll be glad enough to entertain you guys after the repass. So, please, let go of my arm." Sakura said boldly. She clearly didn't have the time of day to deal with a bunch of idiots right now.
"Are you trying to intimidate me?" The leader said gripping her arm tighter. "Because I feel awfully intimidated."
"You can feel like that all you want. If you're mature enough you'll start your bs at another time now excuse me!" Sakura said ripping her arm free.
"Mimi…" Riri said holding on to her mother tightly.
"I can't stand roaches like you." One of the girls said throwing her drink at Sakura, splashing the fizzy substance all on the front of her dress.
"Seriously?!" She yelled out.
The girls laughed at her. "So pitiful…"
Sakura held her tears back. She was so embarrassed right now. She could hear other people snickering at her.
Within the next few seconds her emerald eyes caught the attention of a tall figure. The older Uchiha grabbed the girl by the arm and pended it behind her back. The girl cried out in pain.
'Madara?'
"Uncle Madara?!" One of the girls yelled.
"What the hell do you think you are doing being disrespectful?" His glare felt as if it was full of death.
"Us? It was her!" They tried to argue.
"You might would want to lower your tone when speaking to me child." He let go of the girl and she scurried back to her friends. "Do you not understand that two parents had to cremate their daughter today? Are all you three cunts only good at starting unnecessary drama?" His words were cold and sharp. "You are a disgrace to the Uchiha Family. Get the hell out of my sight."
Without hesitation the girls disappeared. Madara turned his attention to Sakura and Riri. He let out a sigh. "Unacceptable."
"Grandpa what's going on?" Itachi said walking to Madara. He looked directly at Sakura. "What happened to you?"
"It's nothing really." She said trying to brush it off.
"Don't say it's nothing. Your dress is wet."
"Really Itachi. It's fine. I need to change anyway. Can you hold onto Riri for a few minutes please?"
"Yeah I can." Itachi said reaching over grabbing the small child.
"Can you tell Sasuke I went to go change? He should still be in the kitchen."
"I will. I'm sure he's going to be looking for you if you're gone too long."
"You need to be more careful of who you get tangled up with young lady." Madara said.
"Y-yes sir. I'm sorry for that." Sakura said bowing.
"You didn't start it so there's no need. But just because I stood up for you don't get any ideas. Like I said today isn't the day for drama."
"Yes sir." Sakura said. "I'll be back in a few minutes Itachi."
"Take your time."
'Sheesh. If it took a lot just for Itachi to like me who knows how much it'll take just for Madara to like me…'
Sakura had to change completely. The pink soda soaked into her undergarments. Her chest and abdomen were sticky. A quick wash off would do the trick. After that Sakura dressed up in a long sleeved cream colored dress that stopped to her knees. She wore black tights and ankle high black boots with decorative zippers on them. She wrapped a faded color green scarf around her neck and put a dark gray beanie on top of her head leaving her long pink hair down. She needed to head back downstairs and meet up with Itachi to get Riri. Ever since Madara confronted those girls, the atmosphere changed how it was was at first when Sakura arrived. Everyone seemed to die down the snobbish ways towards her. Which was perfect. Less drama, less problems.
There were so many people in the house it seemed more like a party than a repass. Alcohol was being passed out. Go figure.
In the midst of searching around, a tall figure accidently bumped into Sakura.
"Excuse me- It's you!" He yelled out.
Sakura froze as she realized the familiar face. Short grey hair that was slicked back and distinctive purple eyes.
'Oh dear God…'
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I-I should be asking you!"
"Why you little-"
"Hidan. Shut your trap." Itachi said appearing out of nowhere.
'Itachi thank God…' Sakura let out a sigh of relief. "Itachi… Where's Riri?"
"She's with Izumi. Remember Hidan. We already had this discussion already with everyone about Sakura."
"Discussion?" Sakura asked.
"Your little job sweet cheeks." Hidan said rolling his eyes. "Can't believe I was enjoying watching a child. Sick…"
Sakura blushed from embarrassment. "I do have a child. It's not like I wanted to do that job." She couldn't even look them in the face.
"It's alright Sakura. We can't judge you because of that. It's put behind us." Itachi said patting her head.
"Wait, so are you and Hidan friends?"
"We're business partners. It's nine of us all together. But not all are aware of you. Only five plus myself.
"You say that like that's okay." Sakura mooped.
"It is. Because I can assure you that it will not be leaked. Right Hidan?"
"Yeah boss. Whatever you say." He said with a spiffy tone.
Everything was fine for that moment until Sakura put two and two together. The slight smile disappeared from her face.
"If Hidan is your business partner then that means that everyone else that was there was also your business partner?"
"That's correct." Itachi asked.
"Don't worry child. Everyone else got the same speech as me. You're in no harm." Hidan said.
"Is everyone here?"
"Just a few. Some had to stay at the company."
"Gosh you are so paranoid. Itachi just said you're okay."
"Itachi! Hidan! There you are!" A voice called out behind the pink haired girl. She felt an arm wrap around her neck. "I was wondering where you guys were at."
She completely froze.
That voice.
That scent.
"Well, Sasori, if you weren't too busy flirting with women you would have been found us." Hidan said.
Sakura felt as if her heart was about to stop beating. For the first time in a very long time fear was casted over the pink haired girl.
"It's been a while hasn't it?" Sasori said looking at her with a smirk.
"Don't make her uncomfortable." Itachi said.
"What? I'm just trying to break the ice between us."
Itachi and Hidan saw a coworker in Sasori.
But Sakura… Sakura saw a monster.
He offered her extra money. And in desperation Sakura accepted it. But soon Sasori took advantage of that. Obsession will unleash the demon within you.
Being money hungry came with a price.
"Sakura." Itachi called out. She came back to reality. "Are you okay? You look pale."
"I just…"
"Yeah Sakura. Are you alright?" Sasori said putting his hand on her forehead.
"Excuse me!" Sakura couldn't take it anymore. She had to get away. She hurried and sped away from them. She needed to hide. She couldn't hold back her tears. The bathroom down the hall. She made it there. Thank God nobody was in there. She locked the door behind her. Sakura took a towel from off the shelf and screamed into it. Her tears and sobs were silenced from the thick soft towel. This was too much. Why? Why is he linked to Itachi? Out of all people… Sakura was devastated. She couldn't make it obvious. No. Sasori could blackmail her. He could lie about everything and then Sasuke would hate her and then her and Riri would have to go back to her mother's house.
'Oh no… Riri… I have to get to her before Sasori sees her.'
She needed to find Riri. And Sasuke. Maybe she can explain everything to Sasuke before stuff gets out of hand.
Sasori was trying her.
He really was trying her.
He wanted to know if he still had that control over her. If she was still afraid of him.
And he found out.
Sakura cleaned up her face. She was trying to cool herself down. She didn't want to have another panic attack in front of everyone. As she was cleaning herself up she heard a knock at the door.
"Just a second." She called out looking back into the mirror.
The knocking continued.
"They must really have to go." Sakura walked over to the door and turned the knob. She couldn't even open the door all the way before a large hand grabbed her by the jaw stopping her from letting out a yelp. She was pushed against the wall. And she was terrified.
"I thought that was going to be the last time I would see you. Cherry." His smirk was death alone. Sakura could feel herself trembling in fear. This wasn't good. "To think that you would escape from that motel room before I came back." He pushed his body against hers. His scent just made her want to vomit. "I like to see you get away from me this time." He ran his hands up her dress. Sakura swung her balled up hands at Sasori. She caught him three times before he grabbed her and slammed the upper half of her body onto the sink counter.
"Someone has gotten a little bold in the past few months." He pinned both her hands behind her back with one hand and pulled up her dress with the other. "Scream and I will break your neck." He said ripping down her tights and underwear.
"And I dare you to call out that pretty boy's name again. The only name that needs to escape out your mouth is mines bitch." Sakura felt the tears falling down her face. She needed to think. She had to get out of this situation. She looked around on the counter for anything she could possible grab when the time came. Sasori was trying to unbuckle his pants but failed to do so with one hand. He let go of Sakura's hands.
'NOW!'
Once free, Sakura grabbed the closest object which was a glass soap dispenser and hit Sasori on the side of the head so hard that it shattered. The red haired man fell down to the floor. Sakura pulled her clothes back on and hurried out of the restroom. In a panic, she desperately searched for Sasuke. She needed him right now. She didn't even care anymore. She was shoving people out of the way looking for was bad. This was so bad.
'Sasuke help me…'

Sasuke's P.O.V.
Sasuke was highly annoyed. Not only did he have to wait in line to get food out of his own house but he had to save his cat from idiocy.
"Dude why don't you get a dog? Cats are nasty." One of his cousins told him.
"How about you mind your damn business?"
"Sheesh. Just an opinion."
"Hn."
Sasuke took his tray and headed out the kitchen. He didn't know time flew by that fast. He just wanted to hurry up and give Riri and Sakura something to eat but the moment he made it back to their destination they were gone.
'She probably got uncomfortable. I don't blame her.'
Sasuke walked around for a bit and spotted his brother along with Izumi and Riri. They were talking to two of his business partners. The raven haired boy walked over to them.
"Itachi. You got a minute?" Sasuke called out.
"Sasuke. What a surprise." The red haired man turned to his attention to him.
"Nagato." Sasuke took out his hand and shook his. He then shook his wife's hand. "Konan."
"Sasuke. You sure have grown these past few years." She said.
"So Sasuke will we be seeing you working next to the company's CEO after graduation?" Nagato asked taking a sip of his scotch.
"Maybe if I'm skilled enough I'll your next CEO instead." He smirked at his brother. Itachi showed him a soft smile.
"Whatever Sasuke wants to do. He can work at the company or he can go to college. It's his choice." Izumi said. Her arm was in a sling. Itachi kept his arm around her waist for support.
"Sure enough he can come work over at the office instead of that waiter job."
"In due time you guys will know my answer. Itachi, have you seen Sakura?"
"Not for a while. I think she's not feeling too well. She lost color to her face like she had seen a ghost or something."
"Papa…" The small child said.
Sasuke took a grape off the tray and gave it to her. She shoved the whole grape in her mouth.
"Papa?" Konan said questionable.
"It's a long story."
"No shame in being a dad at a young age." Nagato said. "Her mother's genes must be stronger than you Uchiha's."
"She's my stepdaughter."
Nagato's eyes grew wide as he came to realization. "Ahhhh. That explains. She doesn't favor you one bit but she's adorable."
All of them were having small talk until they were interrupted.
"Where's the girl? Where is she?! Sakura!" The red haired man yelled disturbing the repass. Sasuke looked at him. He saw that he was bleeding from the side of his head but that's not what caught his attention. He yelled out Sakura's name. Sasuke handed the tray over to some random family member and walked over but Itachi and Nagato beat him to it.
"What is going on?" Itachi demanded.
"I'll tell you what's going on. That pink haired child attacked me!"
"A child attacked you?" Nagato questioned.
"That's impossible. Sakura isn't violent." Sasuke said defending her.
"Monster..." Riri cried out. Sasuke saw the fear in her trembling little body.
"Sasori calm down you're scaring the child." Itachi said.
"Bull crap! She was coming onto me and got pissed off because I rejected her. Look! There she is right there!" He pointed to the distressed Sakura.
Sasuke looked at her. She looked like a lost fawn searching for its mother. The pink haired girl ran over to the raven haired boy. He could feel her trembling. Something was wrong.
Something was very wrong.
He saw a bruise on the side of her face.
"If you said she attacked you why does she have a bruise on her face?" Sasuke questioned.
"Who cares about a bruise? I'm the one injured. I'm bleeding!"
Sasuke let go of Sakura and walked over to Sasori. "Maybe we should go somewhere private." He said putting his hand on Sasori's shoulder. The redhead slapped Sasuke's hand away.
"Bro what's your problem?"
"You are my problem Uchiha."
"What?"
"What the hell is going on?" Madara asked with a stern voice. Sasuke clenched his teeth. He just knew his grandfather was going to shame him. He already disliked him as it is. But he's not going to want to hear out anyone, especially him.
"How many times will I have to explain to everyone that this is a repass, not a party where drama and fights will start.
"Lord Madara-" Sasori spoke out but was easily cut off.
"Shut your damn mouth." His red eyes were directly on the redhead. If looks could kill, Sasori would have been dead the moment Madara laid eyes on him.
"I think the repast is going to have to be ended shorter than expected."
'This isn't going to be good at all.' Sasuke thought.
Madara made everyone leave. All except for Sasori, Hidan, Nagato and Konan. Sasori's wound was being treated as everyone else sat in the living room. Madara was talking to Itachi Nagato and Hidan in a corner. Sasuke could see the nervousness in their face as they spoke to Madara. He could tell by reading their lips that they were explaining Sakura's past. Madara as always shown no expression on his face whatsoever. Sasuke was pretty sure that he didn't even care about what Sakura went through before.
Sasuke held onto Sakura as she held onto him. She was still trembling but not like she was before. He remembered seeing Sakura like this. Plenty of times before. Something triggered her to be overwhelmed with complete fear. What the hell happened between her and that guy? He tried to ask but she wouldn't speak. Something serious had happened. Sasori had to have done something to her. And he wanted to know. He needed answers.
Everyone came and sat down. Sasori was brought back in the room with Konan. He stood away from the group.
Madara cleared out his throat. "Today was a tragic day for two parents and yet you imbeciles still found a way to make it even worse. In order for us to get to the bottom of this I'm going to have to interrogate the two of you. Sakura you're old enough to speak of for yourself so Sasuke you watch your mouth."
Sasuke could feel Sakura become a lot more uneasy. She lost all color in her face. Her emerald eyes were filled with fear. Something was very wrong.
"Sakura, did you attack Sasori like he said?"
"..."
"Sakura."
She looked up and locking eyes with the older Uchiha. "Yes. But only because he attacked me first!" She blurted out.
"Horse shit!" Sasori yelled out.
"Sasori you will wait."
"Why? So you can continue to listen to her lies? She came onto me!"
"Sasori!"
"She followed me into the bathroom asking for sex. Like she was doing when she was working at that club. She came to me offering her body for money. How was I supposed to know she was underage? I bet she didn't tell you guys how she was prostituting herself, now did she?"
All eyes turned to Sakura. Her eyes were filled with tears. Sasuke didn't believe a word. He stood up and walked over to the redhead. He grabbed him by the collar.
"I don't believe a thing that came out of your mouth."
"Don't believe me then ask her yourself." He shoved Sasuke off of him turning his direction to the pink haired girl. "Tell them how you were prostituting yourself."
She was silent with tears down her face.
"Exactly." Sasori grinned.
"It's not true." Sasuke said.
"If it's not true then why didn't she deny it?"
Sasuke tried to hold back the anger that was built up. He was too heated.
'This can't be true.'
"Sakura. Is this true?" Itachi asked. He sounded very disappointed.
"Y-yes…" She said in a hoarse voice. "I can explain-"
"What else is there to explain? You're a whore!" The redhead yelled.
"Sasori that is enough!" Nagato said stepping in. "Don't you understand how much trouble you're in as it is?"
"If I'm going down so is she!"
"No I'm not!" Sakura jumped up. "Yes, I did prostitute myself to Sasori but only because he offered me extra money that I needed for my child!"
"Bitch! Don't you start lying!"
"You raped me! Tell everyone that!"
Sasuke went stiff. He could feel his blood boiling.
Sakura was trying to hold back her tears but they fell down one after another. "He followed me as I was walking home with Riri. He wanted me to get in his car. I refused so he pulled a gun on me. He beat and raped me! In front of Riri!" She was looking around at everyone. "Please…" She put her head down in shame as she attempted to wipe her tears away. "You have to believe me…. That was the day you found me at the bridge with Riri. Sasuke please..."
Sasori walked up to the pink haired girl and grabbed her by the hair. "How dare you try to destroy me!? I'll end you!"
She screamed in terror. "Sasuke!"
The ravened haired boy grabbed Sasori from behind and ripped him away from Sakura.
"Don't touch her!"
He let out a chuckle. Sasori now gave out a sinister vibe.
"What's so damn funny?" Sasuke said clenching his teeth.
"You can't rape the willing. She took the money with no problem. Now she wants to cry rape so save herself. I'm sure you and I weren't the first few guys she's fucked. She gives head like a pro. She makes sure she makes it nice an-"
Sasuke couldn't take it anymore. Yelling in anger, Sasuke charged at Sasori. He tackled him so hard that they fell into the coffee table breaking it. Sasuke managed to stay on top of Sasori. He wrapped his hands around his neck and started cutting his wind. Something in his mind snapped.
He raped Sakura.
In front of Riri.
He was beyond livid.
Sasuke had the images in his mind of Sakura being powerless to the man he was attempting to kill. He watched as the redhead gasped for air. Those greyish brown eyes were now filled with fear. He could see the vein pop up on his temple. Without noticing Sasuke was pulled off of Sasori by Madara, Itachi and Nagato. Hidan walked over and looked down at his coworker.
"Hidan… Help m-" In the midst of him talking Hidan stomped his foot down into Sasori's chest.
"You are a disgrace."
Sasori stood up with all eyes on him. "So what? You're all going against me? FOR SOME WHORE?"
"Get the hell out of here." Itachi spoke. "Don't bother going to work either. You're fired."
Sasori got up in disbelief. "Alright. I see how it is." He pointed at the three Uchiha's and his now ex-coworkers. "I will ruin ALL OF YOU!" With his last words he stormed out of the house.
Sasuke started after him but was stopped by his brother. "I'm not about to let him get away."
"No need. He won't make it far." Madara said. "A few cops are already outside waiting for him."
"When were police called?" Itachi asked.
"After I made everyone leave and I'm glad I did call them. You had a sexual predator working at the organization."
"We were unaware of Sasori's actions Grandfather."
"I'm not upset but at the same time I am because you are more cautious than this Itachi. Do not disappoint me again. Scum like him will ruin everything for this family."
"Understandable."
Sasuke looked over at Sakura. Her head was once again down in shame. Sasuke was pissed off because of her dumb decisions. This was too much the process in his mind. It was so much going on at once. How could all of this happen? He needed to talk to her but the way he was feeling he wanted to slap some sense into her damn head.
"Sakura. I understand that this is hard on you," Madara spoke. "but with all of this going on it's best if you were to take a leave for a while."
"A leave?" She looked up at him in shock. "What do you mean?"
"You have too much emotional damage that has happened. Not to mention their is emotional damage done in this household because of you. I'm sending you to a group home for the time being until everything is cleared up."
Sasuke stepped in front of Sakura. "No. You aren't sending her anywhere. She's staying here with me."
"Don't you try to intervene Sasuke. You alone are troublesome enough for this family. I'm not about to let your little girlfriend make it worse."
"Grandfather please. It is unnecessary." Itachi spoke up.
"Either she can go to a group home or she can return to where she came from. And from what you told me I would rather her in a group home."
"You can't do this." Sasuke said balling up his fist once again.
"I can and I will. And if you have a problem just try to stop me." Both Uchiha's locked eyes with one another.
'This can't be happening. He can't get rid of Sakura.'
"Lord Madara…" Sakura spoke up.
"Yes?"
"If I accept going to the group home what will happen to Riri?"
"Ah yes. The child." He rubbed his chin with his hand. "Since I witnessed the attachment she has with Itachi and Izumi I guess I can allow her to stay here… If you cooperate."
"I will. If Riri can stay then I will."
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled. "You can't be serious."
"Sasuke please… I already caused enough pain."
"I can't let you leave Sakura."
"She has already agreed Sasuke. Leave it be." Itachi said.
"Itachi, you can't be serious?"
"This will benefit her in many ways. She will receive the counseling she needs and plenty of other opportunities as well." Madara said. "The school year is almost over with so that will be plenty of time until the both of you graduate."
"Would she still be able to visit?" The raven haired boy asked.
"You'll be seeing her at school and you still need extra time?" The older Uchiha shook his head. "She can visit, but only because of her child."
Sasuke looked over at Sakura. She refused to look him in the eye.
"I will start with getting preparations in order so by next week have your things packed."
"Yes sir."
"Itachi I will contact you when everything is ready. Please take care of Izumi and your son."
Itachi didn't say a word. His face was emotionless.
After a few more words said Madara took his leave. Nagato and Konan soon left after speaking with Itachi. Sasuke avoided talking to Sakura for the rest of the day. So much anger was built up. How much more was she hiding? Why couldn't he see what was wrong? Why didn't he help her out more? Sasuke walked out of his bathroom with the steam following him from behind. He felt the warm drops of water fall from his bangs to his face. He went over to his dresser and slipped on a pair of boxers and joggers. He went over to his bed and flopped down. He looked at himself in his dresser mirror. That damn tattoo. If Sasuke could cover it up he would have been did it. He wanted to forget today. He nearly killed someone. He found out more about Sakura's secrets. And his niece was buried.
'What a day…'
In the middle of his thoughts, Sasuke heard a knock at his door. He had a feeling who it was already.
"Come in." He said.
The door creaked open. Sakura walking and closed the door behind her. She stood still right by the door. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Her hair looked damp as it was tied into a bun on top of her head. She must have taken a shower before coming.
"What?"
"Can we talk? Please?"
Sasuke took a minute to think about it. She had every right to explain herself.
"Come sit down." He said refusing to look her in the face.
She walked over and sat down on the bed. For a few minutes it was complete silence between the two. Sasuke wanted to comfort her but his anger gotten in the way.
"If you are going to speak the you need to leave."
"You think this is easy?"
Sasuke turned her way. "It sure was easy for you to go out and get paid for sex." He snapped.
He saw the tears weld up in her eyes but Sakura held them back. "So this is how you're going to act?"
"If you needed money that bad you should have asked me."
"Like that was a simple request."
"It could have been instead of you sucking up other men."
"You know what? I don't have time for this. Just forget it Sasuke." She stood up attempting to leave but Sasuke grabbed her by the shoulder and tossed her down on the bed.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"Sasuke leave me alone." She tried to get back up but Sasuke pushed her back down. He pinned her arms down to the bed.
"How many more?" He asked.
"What the hell are you talking about? Let me go Sasuke!"
"Who else you had sex with?"
"No one!"
"Don't lie to me Sakura."
"I'm not lying."
"Tell the truth! Who else had you? Tell me now!"
"It wasn't sex! I was raped!" She snapped. He looked at the tears that rolled down the corner of her eyes. What the hell was he doing?
"I was raped the first time by my mother's boyfriend. A man that was supposed to be my stepfather. I was raped a second time by her dealer/boyfriend, whoever the hell that man was she sold me to. He beat and raped me so many times. He gave me the scar on my stomach because I fought him back. Then it was Sasori. I was tied to the bed Sasuke… I cried out your name but you didn't come! You didn't show up. Why didn't you let me die when I had the chance?" She choked on her own words. Sasuke felt like a damn fool. He felt like a disappointment. He let Sakura go. She sat up but she didn't leave. She looked at him with those puffy eyes. "I've only had sex with you. I've only made love with you. The other times it was against my will. You have to believe me please." She said rubbing her eyes as she broke down.
Sasuke felt like the worst right now. He said back down on the bed. He pulled Sakura close to him and held onto her. She cried into his chest. Sasuke felt like a complete and utterly failure. He couldn't even protect the girl he loved.
Sasuke picked Sakura's face up. He kissed her on the lips. She returned the favor. Both teens locked eyes with one another. Sasuke leaned forward and locked lips with her again this time with a passionate kiss. Their tongues danced within one another. Sasuke lowered Sakura down onto the bed slowly as they still kissed one another. He grabbed the scrunchy that held her hair up and pulled it out letting her long pink hair fall down onto the bed. He moved his lips down to her neck , softly biting down on it. He listened to her soft moans. He maneuvered one hand under her shirt and unhooked her bra. He felt down on her already hardened nipples. He fondled with one breast with his fingers and nippled one the other one through her shirt. She tried to hold in her moans but was being filled with the bliss Sasuke was giving her. He slipped off Sakura's pajama bottoms and reached his fingers down to her core. She rubbed his index and middle on her clit for a few minutes then inserted the same fingers inside of her. She was so wet and warm. He could feel her body shaking from excitement. He kissed in between her thighs before slowly pulling his fingers out. His fingers were full of her cream. It was ridiculous how wet she was. Sasuke sat Sakura up and placed her in his lap. He slipped his pants and boxer off halfway. His member was as hard as ever. Sakura grabbed a hold of it before positioning herself. She placed the tip inside of her slowly then wrapped her arms around the Uchiha's neck once he was all the way in. Her moans were beautiful to him. It was like the voice of an angel. He held her tightly as she bounced up and down on him. She felt amazing as ever. He picked her shirt up and licked and sucked on her nipples as she rode him. She was so beautiful to him. Scars or no scars. She was his. And only his.
He just wanted her to forget. Forget about the other men. Even if it was only for the moment, Sasuke just wanted Sakura to think only of him. It sounded so selfish of him but at least She could forget about the pain, the embarrassment, the abuse and more.
They made love that whole night. Sasuke held onto her tightly as she slept in his arms. They were skin to skin with one another underneath the comforter. Sasuke planted a kiss on her forehead. She slightly twitched in her sleep. He looked at her. She had bags under her eyes. Her skin didn't look clear like it usually is. She was stressed out. He ran his fingers through that soft pink hair of hers. It smelled of cherry blossoms. Sasuke closed his eyes as he attempted to get some rest. His mind was running a thousand miles. He needed to protect her at any cost. She didn't deserve the pain she was receiving. Sasuke made it his mission to protect her. At all cost. He had to...
