Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Kakashi can tell his students are on edge.
Sasuke is looking at Manami as if he's going to rip out her throat if she so much as lays a finger on Sakura and Naruto is staring at Sakura like she's going to flicker out of existence any minute.
He grits his teeth as Sakura spins her tale, shutting her eyes as the Okiya patron begins to smile in triumph, as if relishing in the pain Sakura has gone through, enjoying the way the girl flinches when the Hokage asks her to start.
"My birth mother…I think her name was Mebuki," Sakura frowns, her mouth tremulous, "She died in the plague outbreak. I—I didn't catch it so…I helped her...for a while. She died the twenty-fourth of December in the bathroom in the civilian district at eleven forty-two."
Enjoy! Sorry for the lack of updates, I was taking my exams :)
