Kakashi stood back with his two teammates, where one just standing there looking at him his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of the water. Then there was the other one, she was the one who worried him a bit. She looked angrily at him, like a mother about to scroll her child.
"Kakashi" she all but hissed it out at him, she was not just angry she was pissed off. She moved her hands to her hips, her foot was going up and down waiting for him to respond.
Instead of saying anything he simply vanished in smoke, he knew which day she was talking about. He would have come if he could, but he had an important mission there. A mission that he couldn't even tell his teammates about.
Sakura had hidden her Chakra not waiting to be found just yet by some ANBU, bullies or an overly worried Hokage. She sat on the swing, to the point where she could no longer feel her fingers anymore. She looked up at the sky, and Sakura couldn't help, but notice that you could hardly see any stars. It must be because of all the light there was around here in the village.
Jumping off the swing she slowly began making her way home. She stopped outside some houses and saw in the window, to see a happy family eating dinner and laughing at something funny. Looking at them didn't really help her, it only made her feel even more alone in the big cold world.
She began to walk once more after she was done torturing herself, her head down looking at the ground. She heard laughter and saw Naruto-San with a redhead and the Hokage, he was walking in the middle holding a hand in either of his own. She disappeared into the shadows before any of them noticed her, she watched them walk by, he looked happy…
When she was finally home she looked around her small apartment, it hardly looked like someone lived here. She could feel the anger and loneliness that came back full force until she couldn't stand it anymore, she ran away from the lonely place as quickly as her feet could carry her.
She walked by a clan ground when some shinobis came out with one of her classmates. She didn't think, not really, she just attracted them. They hadn't seen her at first and couldn't feel her Chakra either, which was why the man holding her classmate, lost his grip when she hit him in the jaw.
As the girl fell to the ground, Sakura stood on all four covering the girl under her completely. She did get hit, more the once. When one of them finally kicks her in the stomach, it sent her flying away from her classmate. Someone came from her clan ground, they came out to take care of the jerks. The fight was over before it even began.
A man picks her classmate up, before looking over at Sakura. She opened her eyes and red chased with white, right before her eyes turned green once more. Slowly she tried to stand, but her legs gave up on her and on her knees once more, Sakura led forward and began to vomit blood up.
Sakura got on her feet once more and began to walk away. When she was a bit away Sakura stopped up and turned around watching her classmate wave over the man's shoulder. She returned it with a small smile and a shy wave.
"Kyuubi?" She whispered softly, hoping the fox would talk with her once more. After some time with no reply she walked back home once more, feeling lonelier than ever before. When the door slammed close behind her, Sakura broke down crying. Even Kyuubi didn't like her anymore.
When Sakura went to school the next day, her feet felt heavier than the day before. Everything hurt, her stomach more than the rest, anyone could tell that she hadn't slept the day before. Once the school came into view, she saw her classmate from yesterday.
She fell in step next to Sakura, but not saying anything. She could feel how nervous the white-eyed girl was, it came off in waves.
"I-I'm… My na-name is Hi-Hinata Hyuga" The shy girl Hinata mumbled, a blush was slowly making its way onto her face. Sakura nodded in return and gave the girl a soft smile. She really appreciated how much Hinata was trying, but if she was uncomfortable then, she should leave.
"Good morning Hinata-San, I really appreciate what you're trying to do, but if I make you uncomfortable, you can leave… I won't blame you for it" She added as an afterthought. She was fully aware of how people either avoided or hit her. If Hinata-San was seen with her, it might also happen to her.
Sakura waited for the girl to leave, but instead she rather boldly took her hand. She began to blush even more, and Sakura didn't say any more. Sakura didn't let go of the hand until they were in front of the classroom.
"Shall we share lunch?" Sakura asked a bit hesitating, but the girl nodded eagerly. When they sat down in their seats, Naruto was by her table before she could blink.
Naruto had had a good morning, and it only became better, when he saw pink hair coming towards the school. He looked surprised as he watched the other person that was walking beside her, for once Sakura-Chan was not alone. He felt a bit jealous of the Hinata, here he was trying anything to become friends with Sakura-Chan and then out of nowhere, they were walking beside one another like they made friends overnight.
His now bad mood only got worse when he saw the state she was in. There were dark rings under her eyes, her skin was a mix between black, blue, purple and yellow now. Sakura-Chan however, looked happy with a soft look in her eyes directed towards Hinata. She had never looked at him like that.
He waited until Sakura sat down before making his way over to her table. Just as he was about to say something, a ninja came in and asked for her. When she had nodded and lifted her hand, they had disappeared in smoke shortly after. This was the worsted day in his life, ever.
Minato was having the same thoughts as his son. He had only just gotten in the office, not even giving the chance to sit down, before both Hiashi and Hizashi came in too. They quickly explained what had happened the night before, and much to his horror Sakura had been present too.
He had sent a ninja to get Sakura, and soon she was knocking on the door. He took in a breath when he saw the state she was in. She was about to say something, but turned an even whiter skin color, and rushed past him to his garbage can and began to vomit blood up.
"Just what the hell happen?" He demanded to know, anger filling his voice. They had said that someone had tried to kidnap Hinata, and Sakura was a witness to that. They had said it like she had done nothing, but watch so how come she look like, like this then?
"I was walking by when they came by and may have attacked before thinking it through." She said whipping the blood from her chin. While looking at Minato, he looked somewhere crossed between proud, horrified and angry.
"I took them by surprise and hit one of them in the jaw, he let go of Hinata-San and I covered her so they couldn't get to her… Finally, one of them kicked me away and then this man…came" She had continued telling what had happened, and when Sakura finally came to the end of her tail. She had looked at the two other people in the room. The only differed in the two men, which was that the first one had a bare forehead while the other one had it covered. How odd.
"You're the man from yesterday" she mumbled, sniffing the air. Yes while they did look alike they're smelled was not. She turned to Minato once more.
"The reason I look like this is because Kyuubi and I are in a disagreement right now and he, therefore, won't heal me" Sakura added as an afterthought. She faintly heard Kurama growled before her eyes turned red and all the injuries she had, was slowly disappearing. When her eyes turned green again, she heard his deep voice mumbling a sorry.
Just as Minato was about to breathe out in relief, just as his door slammed open again and not just any angry mist ninja, no Ao came in. It was at this moment that Minato knew he should have stayed home today.
