The first time Sakura sees a shinobi it is when Akiko-sama slips onto her knees and makes him moan.

Sakura stays very, very still in the wardrobe tears rolling down her cheeks as she watches Akiko's fake-happy face and how the shinobi forces her mouth further down…on whatever that is.

She is still crying when Akiko giggles and escorts the shinobi outside the veiled room, letting him run his hands all over her.

When Akiko-sama returns, Sakura bursts out of the closet and throws herself at the older woman. Tears shake her tiny body and Sakura wails as Akiko-sama brushes her hands through her hair.

"Sakura-chan, what's wrong?" Her Akiko-sama's voice is calm and steady and Sakura only cries harder as she presses herself into Akiko-sama's waist.

"I-I'm s-sorry h-he touched you!" Sakura sobs out, clutching at Akiko-sama's long loose hair.

Akiko-sama stills. Sakura continues to sob into the woman's kimono.

"Sakura-chan…this is—my job is to make people happy and satisfied."

Tremulous rage builds up in Sakura's chest and another sob breaks loose. "I will make sure you don't have to do this!"

"Sakura-chan this is what I chose to do."

"But did you want to do it?" Sakura cries out.

Akiko-sama is still and her body slumps against Sakura's tiny one.

A whispered no comes out of her mouth and Sakura swears she will protect her from these people.
