Chapter 3: His Name

As she slowly opened her tremendously bloodshot eyes, the brightness of the white walls surrounding her, stung her sensitive orbs for a brief moment. Sakura's lips were dry and parched, and she had deep, darkened bags under her eyes. Her once shiny, full pink hair, was now tangled, dull, and seemed to have run out of pep as it sat lazily around her pale face.

Her vision was hazy, as she laid there, starring up at a dull white ceiling. It was then, that all Sakura could suddenly see…was him.

She blinked.

He was still there.

She brought her shaking, bruised wrists up to her eyes and rubbed feverishly.

He was on top of her now.

Sakura shot up and cried out, terrified, and flailed her arms out in front of her, trying to push him away.

"Don't touch me!", she shrieked, her arms now thrashing around her madly.

But he had grabbed her shoulders now. He was forcing her down. He was going to rape her again.

"No! N-NO!", Sakura wailed, attempting to kick her legs. She was horrified when she didn't feel them responding to her brain's commands.

"Sakura."

"Please, no!", Sakura full-out began to sob, her arm's thrashes slowly weakening.

"Sakura! Sakura, it's okay! Calm down!"

With wild, tear-filled eyes, Sakura snapped her head up and starred at who was speaking to her; the same person who was restraining her shoulders. Sakura's vision had returned to her, and the vision of him had finally faded. A now tired, worried looking Tsunade was in his place.

"M-Master-Tsunade?", Sakura sniffed, her body trembling and heart racing.

"Stay down Sakura, you need to rest.", the blonde woman replied in a harsh mother-like tone, as she gently eased Sakura back down into the laying position.

"I-I can't, move my legs.", Sakura whimpered, as she finally began to feel the pains creeping up her abdomin, from her sudden jolt upwards.

"I'm healing them right now Sakura, don't worry. You're going to be fine...they'll still be a little bruised once I'm finished, but you'll be able to walk again."

Sakura was quiet for a moment, as she shut her red stained eyes painfully. Re-opening them slowly, Sakura examined her hospital room. There was only one bed, and she was the one in it; thank God, she didn't think she could bare sharing a room with another person at the moment. There were two windows, both shut, because of the heavy rain beating down upon them violently. There was a small table next to her bed, and it was absolutely packed with flowers.

"H-How did everyone find out so quickly?..", Sakura murmed, balling her fists gently.

"It's just your close friends, Ino, Naruto, Sasuke…don't worry.", Tsunade replied, her voice mono-toned, probably because she was trying to concentrate on the eerie light blue glow emiting from her palms to Sakura's calves.

"It's humiliating non-the-less.", Sakura whispered, her eyes were overwhelmed with throbingly salty tears.

Upon finishing up her healing, Tsunade sighed reproachfully. She turned towards Sakura and cleared her throat, biteing back her own sorrow-filled tears,

"Sakura, this happens everyday…to many young girls. You are lucky that you aren't dead right now. Think about it."

Sakura tilted her head unevenly towards her former master. She let out a fake chuckle, almost irritated, and replied,

"Lucky, eh? I guess me giving up everything that I had ever learned as a ninja, a medic; throwing my career, and my future away; all to convince myself that I loved that…that…creature, only to have him betray me, and do this…rape me."-Large tears dipped from Sakura's reddned eyelids- "Tear my heart out, destroy me both mentally and physically. Made me convince myself that I actually love him."-Sakura's voice was becoming hoarse from it's increasing growth in volume- "Well then, yes, Tsunade. I'd consider myself very lucky that I'm alive."

Sakura's chest heaved up and down slightly, as she inhaled through her nose deeply, trying to calm herself down.

Tsunade was for once, speechless. She just shut her eyes, and breathed quietly, unable to bring herself a response.

Finally, she said, "Get some sleep. I'll come vists you tomarrow to check on your progress.", the Hokage stood up, and turned to leave. Sakura starred after her, as heels made a gentle kloping noise as she slowly opened the room's door. But before Tsunade exited, and without turning around, she said quietly, "You're not pregnant…by the way."

Sakura's heart skipped a beat, as Tsunade continued,

"No diseases, no infection. You…really will be okay Sakura. You were my best apprentice, and I hope you would let me help you again. I know you're strong, but you need to be re-trained in Medic-nin jutsus. Whenever you're ready. I'll see you tomarrow."

The door shut with a firm click.

That was the first time Sakura had seen Tsunade-sama cry.

->->->->->-

Sakura laid there, intwined with the snowy white sheets, starring openly through the windows to her left. Rain pounded in heavy sheets on the smooth glass, and the sky was thick with black clouds. Thundered roared throughout the skys, and every several seconds afterwards, a thin streak of lightening brightened the land. It was only 1:30 pm.

This was the question frequently replaying itself in Sakura's blanked out mind.

Sakura could see her house from the window closer to herself. If she wasn't in her present state she probably would've thought that was oober-cool and made a big fuss over it. But thinking about it now just seemed so pointless. Why was that so incredible?..

How?!

Sakura brought a pale right hand up to releave a little scratch on her nose. But stopping her hand just before it reached her face, Sakura examined the large purplish-black ring encircling her wrist.

He sure had been forceful.

Didn't he care about her? Was he only keeping her around for as long as he did just to do this with her?!

Sakura clenched her fist tightly, and lowered her arm. Tears absolutely burned her eyes, why had she been so blinded? Oh, and dear God, another question continuously played throughout Sakura's mind;

Why had she given up, everything she had ever learned? Was she that dim-witted? She had forgotten almost everything Tsunade-sama and Kakashi-sensei had ever taught her about being a ninja. But why was that?

She had been in love. She had been so willing to spend every waking moment of her time, her life, to be with…him. But every once in a while, she would try to spend some time to herself, keep up with her ninja training…But it was then that he would not let her go, would threaten to leave her, make her feel horrible with guilt, if she even tried to spend a day alone or with her friends…

Sakura's blood began to boil as the memories continued to flow through her mind.

She had let him control her life. Completely. Never had she thought that anyone could have done that to her, not even Sasuke-kun. But she had been in love with him.

No.

Not in love with him. In love being in love. Ever since Sasuke-kun had left, Sakrua tried desperately to wait for him. But the heart-broken ninja had found someone to comfort her one night; and he had promised to look after her, love her…

Sakura shook her head from side to side shakily. She never wanted to remember that night again. The night where he had promised to love, and respect her forever.

As Sakura's eyes swelled up with fresh tears, there was a gentle click from the door to her room. For a moment Sakura thought that Tsunade had forgetten something and was coming back. But when the door opened fully, every ounce of blood escaped from Sakura's face, and she began to tremble.

And as the door shut behind him with a tiny click, he walked slowly over to the foot of Sakura's bed.

That vest.

That smirk.

Those eyes.

That thirst.

Genma.
