Chapter 2: Pain
There were several smells. One that she wasn't familiar with, but the other she knew all too well…blood. Her emerald eyes opened, slowly. The blur of a dark room surrounded her helpless body. Not daring to lift her head, Sakura's fingers slowly trailed down her waist, to find that her under-shorts, skirt, and panties were not there.
"Please, no..."
A tiny breeze from the air condition suddenly told Sakura that her bra and shirt was missing too, she was completely nude.
There was something wet all over Sakura's thighs and around her, soaked up in the sheets. She gingerly slid her fingers to her thigh and brought her fingers to her nose. Then inhaled gently. Blood. Her blood. Sakura's heart pounded deeply, and an icy chill ran down her spine. She sat up swiftly. Salted tears poured from her jade eyes, as an incredible pain shot from her thighs all the way to her bottom of her breasts.
"Oh my God."
Retracting herself, Sakura starred, horrified down at herself below the waist. Dark black and purple bruises covered her inner thighs, and there were dried clots of blood on her waist, and the sheets. Then where did this fresh blood come from?
Unceasing tears fell down Sakura's cheeks, as she carefully leant over herself, grunting gently, trying to get a better view of her thighs. Another shot of ice seemed to creep up Sakura's spine. She had just remembered, she was on her period.
She needed to get out. Where was he? Sakura tried to lift her legs. Intense pain spread through her body, making her want to scream out more then anything. Fight the pain. Get out of here. Get away from this place. The smell of her own blood and the left over semen nauseated Sakura to the core, as she shakily reached across the bed from her bra and shirt.
"How could he?"Shaking so hard, and so many tears pouring from Sakura's bloodshot eyes, that she couldn't clasp her bra on, so she quickly disregarded it and hastily shrugged her shirt on, unknowingly only zipping it up halfway. She began to feel dizzy.
"M-Move it, Haruno..."
Her legs now numb, Sakura slipped her ripped panties over herself. Then, being as disoriented as she was, Sakura meekly put her skirt on, forgetting completely about her under-shorts.
Shifting her weight, Sakura heaved upward, her heals scrapping the uncarpeted ground loudly, and then she stood, barely. The pain Sakura felt now was incredible, never in her life had she felt anything as horrendous as what she felt now. Feeling a lump in her throat, Sakura slowly crept for the window to the darkened room.
Opening the blinds, Sakura gazed into the black depths of the midnight sky. She sighed, and using all of her might she slid the heavy window open. It was then, that Sakura heard heavy footsteps pound down the hallway.
"N-No!"
Sakura's vision was still unclear, and the pain sifting through her body was causing her to loose her mind itself. The footsteps were getting louder, more violent, they were almost running. He was coming again. To do it again. No. Please no. In hysterical silence, Sakura did the only thing she could think of.
Leaping from the window, Sakura's numbed legs were useless as she reached up, grasping the branch of the tree in the window. She grit her teeth together, the strain was just about killing her. Sakura let go. Dropping to the ground, where she landed hard on her back.
The pain that crept through her now was nothing compared to one still lingering throughout her thighs, her body, her heart.
Then from somewhere up above, Sakura heard a heavy door bang open. Her eyes snapped open. Sakura stood, and desperately, with every ounce of sheer will power left, she ran.
To find a sharp stone, Sakura would have cut her own throat right then and there, the pain intensified so much more. Dear God, how could you let a human even live with such a horrible feeling? Her lungs on fire, Sakura finally began to sob.
Turing a sharp street corning, Sakura sobbed and cried out, screaming for help as she did. Several blocks away now, Sakura finally slowed, but kept moving, for fear of…him catching up with her. Legs trembling violently, Sakura shrieked for help. And then, exhausted, drained of every ounce of energy and will power she had left, Sakura collapsed into an alleyway. Letting out one more meek cry for any sort of help, just before, as it seemed to her, she slipped into a sense of madness.
A light from across the street flickered on.
- - - - -
Her brain still hadn't fully comprehended what had just occurred. She began to tremble, even harder now. And, tears still flowing, eyes wide, darkness surrounding…everything seemed so dark now...
A figure loomed near the entrance to the alleyway.
"What's going on?!" a deep voice called.
"This sounds familiar…"
The figure stepped closer, its form outlined against the light spilling out from across the street. Somewhere in Sakura's brain found the figure to be male, and she unconsciously shrank back, curling up away from the man. Her body scratched softly on the dirty concrete.
He was close enough to see now. Messy silver hair, mask, one dark and one crimson eye.
" I-It's sharingan."
"Sakura? Is that you? What happened? Why are you back there in the dark?!"
Sakura only shrank back more into the shadows, whimpering. Her terrified mind couldn't let her see who was that was standing in front of her now, only that it was a man, and that that meant she had to get away. She scooted backwards, her fingers digging and scratching into the hard ground desperately.
"No! NO! Not again!"
"Hey, it's me. Kakashi."
"Kakashi...?"
She slowed her movements backward. Kakashi offered his hand out to Sakura, but quickly she shouted, "Please no!"
Kakashi immediately retracted his hand at Sakura's terrified cry. He had only been reaching towards Sakura to put his hand on her shoulder. But his eyes widened suddenly, as he finally saw clearly what had happened.
"..Oh my God."
Sakura was curled up into a ball on the ground, her rosy pink hair was messy, her body was visibly trembling, rocking back and forth. Her shirt was uncaringly slung over her breasts, with nothing else underneath.
Kakashi then noticed articles of her clothing around them, just her bra and under-shorts. He knelt in front of the pink haired woman, calling softly to her.
"Sakura...Sakura, please, I need to get you to the hospital.."
"N-No! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Go away!" she moaned back at him, not really conscious of what was going on or who was talking to her.
Kakashi sighed patiently. Thunder boomed, and suddenly rain began to downpour upon the two of them.
"I won't touch you Sakura…don't worry anymore, you're safe with me. Now please, first, look at me?" Kakashi asked, his voice gentle and soothing. When Sakura finally lifted her head to look at him, his eyes widened in shock and he felt a lump in the back of his throat. He desperately wanted to reach out to Sakura, to hug her, embrace her, anything…but something told him that this wouldn't be an option for quite a while.
The look in her eyes...was unlike anything Kakashi had ever seen before. They were wide and filled with tears, haunted, and terrified. So many raw emotions swam through those emerald orbs that Kakashi was forced to look to the side.
Sakura was still shivering.
"Sakura? Sakura, Can I help you up?"
Kakashi got no answer, just a blank expression with staring eyes, so he tried something else,
"Alright, if you don't want me to touch you..", he started slowly, softly, "then let me go call the Medic-nin, ok?"
Kakashi stood up carefully, fearing that if he stood too quickly he might frighten Sakura even more.
But when he turned to leave, Kakashi felt something tug at the leg of his pants.
Sakura quickly withdrew her hand. She starred up at him, wide-eyed beyond all belief.
"Please don't leave..." she whispered, desperately, fear and terror still filled her voice, along with more tears. She seemed a little more stable now. She knew who this man was now.
"I'm not leaving you, Sakura, I'll be right back. I promise." Kakashi murmured, trying to reassure her.
Sakura sat in the down pouring rain, shivering from the shock, pain, and cold, she whimpered, "No, n-no! No one…don't touch me…he..he…hurt…just please, don't touch me."
As Sakura mumbled, more intense pain, which she had forgotten about for a brief moment, had suddenly returned with a jolt. She winced terribly and clutched her stomach.
She sobbed loudly, cringing harshly. Kakashi leant back down quickly, his heart pounding deeply in his chest, "Sakura, I need to get to some help. I'll only be gone for a minute."
"It…it hurt.", Sakura cried just under a whisper, holding her stomach, and looking back down to her darkened thighs, "I-I…loved him."
Kakashi's eyes followed Sakura's gaze. His breath hitched in his throat.
"We need to get you to the hospital. Now." Kakashi stated, "Can you stand now, Sakura?", hovering close in case she needed help. Sakura didn't answer, instead, she just pulled her feet under her and began to stand up, shaking quite a bit.
As weight started to press on her legs, her knees buckled, doubled pain shooting through her. Kakashi shot forward and caught her, each arm on her shoulders.
"Easy now, take it slowly Sakura…"
Sakura cried out as soon as Kakashi touched her, pulling herself away from his grasp. She hit the wall and sobbed.
"I-I'm sorry Kakashi...I...please don't…just…please don't."
Kakashi stood in front of Sakura again, keeping his distance fair, his expression worried. "Shh...Sakura, it's ok. You know me, I would never hurt you. I promise not to touch you unless you need it. But we need to get to the hospital..", he whispered, concerned.
Sakura looked up again, her jade eyes blank on the surface. Kakashi wasn't prepared for when Sakura sped forward, gripping his dark shirt tightly and burying her face in his chest.
Sakura was sobbing hard and uncontrollably now. Softly, Kakashi gathered the crying woman into his arms. He was shocked when she didn't leap away in utter terror again, but instead she leant in closer, burying her face deeper into his chest.
Keeping his grip on Sakura both firm but cradling, he took off down the streets and avenues. Rain matted his and Sakura's bodies as Kakashi turned a sharp corner, "You are safe now, Sakura. You're going to be fine."
When Kakashi didn't hear any reply, he looked down quickly. Sakura's eyes had closed. Kakashi's eyes widened, and he cursed under his breath and hugged her limp body closer to his chest, sprinting now.
He had to get her help, and fast. The hospital was looming into view now. Kakashi's feet splashed through large puddles, as an unknowing tear escaped the corner of his crimson eye.
Yay. Review and you shall be loved :) lol. Don't worry people, this is only the second chapter for God's sake, any questions you have about why certain things have happened in this fic WILL BE ANSWERED LATER ON. Goodness. But, just to clear a few things up, I'll answer these questions that I've been messaged about the most:
1.) "Why was Genma the rapist?!?!?!!!!"
I chose Genma for the "rapist" because I don't really like GenSaku; at all. Plus, even though I've watched the episodes that he actually apears in, in Naruto; I find that he really doesn't have a strict personallity, so I could make him act however I wanted in the fic.
2.) "Umm Sakura should've been able to defend herself! Why was she so weak?!!"
Like I said, THESE THINGS WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER ON IN THE CHAPTERS. My God, I hate it when people don't use common sense. YES people, I KNOW that Sakura would never like something like that happen to her, and YES I KNOW that she is a freakishly strong girl; but go back and read chapter one VERY carefully, and mabye you'll get why she couldn't do anything about this. Either that, or be "special-ed", and wait for chapter three to come out, because that will mostly be revealed there.
OKAY THEN. Lol Hope that clears things up :) I'll update soon enough! Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
Hugs&kisses
