Not So Sweet

Chapter five: A Not So Sweet Attack

As Naruto and Kakashi looked for food they had wandered a little further then they had planed. They left the sleeping Sakura a half hours walk away. They still had no luck finding any food. "Hey Kakashi-sensei, why can't we find any food?" Naruto asked and as if on cue his stomach let out a load growl. Kakashi sighed at the young ninja's stomach, and then said "Well Naruto, I was never good at finding mushrooms, and this place seems lifeless...hmmm, it could be because of the village up ahead...I don't know though..." Naruto stoped and listened for a minute, and herd something that made him jump for joy. "Hey Kakashi-sensei! Guess what I hear! I hear running water just up ahead! Believe it!" Kakashi then listened too, and sure enough he herd it. "Alright Naruto, good work, maybe we can find some fish." After fifteen more minutes of walking they had found a small river. They began to try and fish, and in the first five minutes they had caught one. But they still had to catch more, so they could all eat, and maybe catch extra so they had a good breakfast before heading into the village Sasuke was believed to be in. They had now left Sakura alone for almost an hour, they didn't expect it to take so long, but Sakura could take care of herself if she woke up, right? They still had awhile before they would even start to walk back, and that was very bad, because they had no idea what was going to happen to Sakura in that time...

Sakura had snapped her eyes open. Something wasn't right and she could feel it. She looked around to try and find Kakashi and Naruto, but neither of them was there. She looked at the fire that Naruto hadn't even started last time she checked. It was now burnt out, and all the wood was gone. She must've been asleep longer then she thought. 'How long have Naruto and Kakashi-sensei been gone' she thought to herself as she scanned the area. She then noticed how low the sun was. It was now setting. As she held still scanning the area she herd a bush in front of her move, as if a reflex she grabbed a kunai knife out of her bag in the blink of an eye. She eyed the direction it came from, studying it carefully. Then she heard someone to her right. "Hmmm" 'Shoot, I must be surrounded...damn it, how could I fall asleep and let this happen to me? And where the hell are Naruto and Kakashi-sensei?' Thinking fast she grabbed more Kunai knives and stood up ready to fight. She started to walk slowly toward the bush she first herd the movement from, then threw her kunai at it, but as she did, she had a shuriken thrown at her back. She herd the movement the other had made and quickly ducked to avoid it, and as a result the shuriken had hit the spot she threw her kunai

'She has improved' thought the person who had thrown the shuriken at her.

She then got back into fighting stance, ready for everything, except what they where about to do. She had ninja needles thrown from everywhere around her. She quickly jumped out of the way, but a few had hit her feet. 'No pain, no game' she thought to herself as she ignored the pain in her feet. Then all at once 9 guys with various weapons in hand had jumped from their hiding place to try and jump her. She smirked. "What fools." Then she did a back hand spring toward an open spot and thought 'There's one more, that's why there was a hole, and it's the same place that shuriken had come from...but why didn't that one jump me? What are they planning?'

She then turned to face her opponents. 'Nine on one, way not fair! It's way too easy, there should at least be 26 of them if they even want to touch me.' She then smirked and threw all of her remaining kunai knives at them. Only one of the nine was hit. He was too slow and got hit by the majority of them in numeral vital areas. He dropped to the ground as the other 8 came after her. 'Why are they moving in a pack, it'd be way more interesting if they spread out, and made it at least a little challenging...' Then the 8 spread apart and came at her individually.

She was now out of weapons because she threw them all at once, but she still had her fists. As one guy lunged toward her she kicked him in the stomach. She kicked so hard he want flying and hit his head on a tree. His head smashed through the tree, and she could see blood dripping down the trunk. Some wood from the tree lodged up his neck, hitting his trachea, and killing him.

Then another came after her with a fist that was heading straight for her face. She caught the fist in her hand before it hit and stopped it dead in its tracks. She then began to squeeze the hand very hard until she heard the bones braking. She wanted to hear this guy scream in pain, but instead he yelled "What kind of freak are you!" and shot his other fist toward her stomach. But she kicked him, hard, in between his legs, and finally herd him scream she so longed to hear. And the hand he was going to punch her with stopped and went down to his sore area. She smirked and slyly told him, "The kind of freak who just kicked your ass." And as she grabbed a hidden kunai from her hair that was still tied up, her smirk grew wider.

She could hear another guy with a katakana raised, and ready to kill. coming right behind her, but she quickly turned and shoved a kunai up his stomach. "Hmp, who the hell thought you how to fight?" She asked. Then she did another back hand spring to get out of the way of the falling guy with his weapon still raised. His Katakana had hit the guy she hadn't finished off yet. Then she quickly ran back to him and took his katakana to use to her advantage. She wanted to finish this now because she was quite board of their week attempts.

She next ran after one of the guy who had stopped dead in his assault after seeing how powerful this young kunnoichi was. She ran up to him and got in his face and smiled asking him "What's wrong? A little kunnoichi like me can't be too strong for you can she?" He was scared out of his mind of her, and there she was right in front of him, and he wanted to run so bad, but he couldn't. He was so scared he couldn't move. Her smile then turned to a frown and she said in an annoyed tone "How boring, you're not even gonna try? Not even going to run? So boring..." She then smiled again. She loved the look of fear in a man's eyes, especially when it was a fear of her. Then she ran the katakana through his chest, and then she heard it again, that sound she longed to hear whenever she fought, the scream of death. It was like music to her ears, and whenever she herd it, it made her long for more...

She looked around only to find one left. 'The other ones must've run off, what fucking wimps...This was such a waste of time...' she thought as she moved in to finish the last one off with the katakana that was now dripping in the blood of her last victims. He stood there in shock as she ran toward him, but then she stopped. What was she doing? Killing them like their lives were her toys...what had gotten into her? She dropped the Katakana and looked at her hands. They were covered in blood...of people that probably didn't deserve to die. She screamed and fell to her knees grabbing her pounding head. The one guy that was left took it as a chance to flee like his other teammates, and he was gone leaving her alone, or so she thought...

"What the hell has happened to me? Why couldn't I stop...I killed...all the ones that I could...why? I didn't have a reason! Why the hell couldn't I stop? What the fuck is wrong with me?" She yelled at herself trying to make the pain go away. She felt so numb... And yet, even though her heart ached so badly, all she could feel was pain, and she felt so bad, she couldn't cry... She slowly reached for the katakana and was about to take her own life when...

A/N: ooo another cliffy! HA!

j/k, I'm not that mean...

Someone had appeared behind her and had a kunai knife held to her throat threatening her life. 'Damn it! How could I be so damn stupid!' she thought to herself. The person behind her smiled and told her "You've improved tremendously...I'm impressed, I might spare your life because you could be of some use to us..." She gritted her teeth and told him "Help me go to hell...kill me...I don't want to live...I couldn't...control myself...I want to go to hell!" She looked at the ground, and started to lean foreword so the kunai began to cut her neck. The man who had put it there quickly withdrew it. "I know someone who can help. I see it in your beautiful eyes. You're lost, numb, empty, and you have a need for power. I can help you; I can help you so it doesn't hurt anymore, but you have to come with me"

She knew his voice, and knew who it was, but she didn't know what to do. She didn't want to feel anymore. She just nodded her head and began to move the katakana to her wrist "I know how to stop the pain...I can do it myself." She said starting to slit her wrists, but she stopped because the man had hit her in the head knocking her out. She fell to the ground with only minor wounds. The man then tied her up and threw her over his shoulder, and took her away.

Her smirked and said "You should thank me Sakura, you might not know it, but I made you who you are. I helped to cause all the pain you've felt to push you to become as strong as you have, you really should thank me."

The man had carried her away, but after walking for a half hour it was pitch black out, and Sakura was about to wake up, so he decided to stop and rest. He had started a fire, and put Sakura under a blanket. He sat there staring at the beautiful young lady he hadn't seen in years. He knew she hated him. He had betrayed her village, helped take away her love, and even helped destroy her family, not that she knew that.

Sakura still laid motionless, deep in the dreams of her past.

"No, please! I'll be strong! Please daddy! Don't go!" A young 7 year old girl with pink hair pleaded to her father as he stood in the doorway of her house. She was crying so hard she could barely breathe as she stood in front of him blocking his way to leave. Her mother lay motionless on the ground with a frying pan next to her. "Please don't go!" The young girl had many bruises, and cuts, but still loved her father even after all the pain he caused her and her mom. "You're weak! I don't want a damn child so weak. Crying is a fucking weakness you little bitch! Don't cry or I'll fucking do to you what I did to that fucking bitch you call a damn mother." The little girl continued to cry. Why did daddy always hit her and mommy? And why was he leaving them? "Daddy, I'll be strong! P-please...j-just don't...don't leave us!" Her mom then stood up with a dead look on her face. "It's you're fault he's leaving! It's you're fault! You're fault! Get the hell out of my sight!" The little girl began to cry harder, the only person who had ever taken her side was now siding against her. "Damn little bitch! She's right. Now get the hell out of my way before I kill you." "P-p-plea-please...s-st-stay..." she said crying harder then ever before. He frowned and punched her so hard it sent her flying to the ground outside, and knocked her out. Then the man walked away, his wife staring at him with a dead and blank look on her face.

The little girl was Sakura a very long time ago. And that was how her family fell apart...her mom went insane not too long after that. Sakura took care of her mom, only to be hit and cursed all the time. Over the years her mom had only ever said things to her like "It's you're fault..." or "Get out of my sight I never want to see you again." Even though Sakura grew used to it, it still hurt her so much. She always had new bruises, but she wanted to keep what family she had left. Then she decided to become a ninja. She would be strong someday, and prove her father wrong. She studied so hard trying to be the best. She had the best grades, the #1 student on paper, but physical strength was something she lacked back then.

On the road to becoming a ninja she met Sasuke, and fell in love. But she fell in love for the wrong reason. She fell in love to prove to herself that she could trust men. Every man she saw she feared, so by forcing herself to love one, maybe it would make her stronger. Everyone else loved him, so why not her too? But as time went by she fell in love with him for real. But then he betrayed her. Her trust in men was forever gone, but she would never let anyone know that. It was her secret.

She had become stronger, and then one day it happened...

A pink haired girl about the age of 15 walked in the door to her home, she had just come back from a mission, and just wanted to go to bed, but as she walked in her mom said "Oh, hi honey! How was your day?" Wait...Her mom was asking her a question, in a nice manner? It hadn't happened in almost 10 years...Then she looked and saw a man in the living room sitting on the couch. It was her father...

She glared at him and he got up and smacked her telling her "You're so damn weak. It's rude to glare at people stronger then you, I could fucking kill you in the blink of an eye damn it." She then began to cry. "You little bitch get out of my sight! Crying is a weakness damn it!" She ran to the door and ran away that night. She stayed away until she could get her fake smile back to cover up her pain. She always used that smile. She didn't even know how to smile anymore. They were all fakes, she was a fake. The only person she ever gave a real smile to was Sasuke, but he was gone and left her even more broken then before. She vowed to be strong to bring him back...but now she had two reasons...She was going to be strong, even if she died in the process.

When she got back home, she saw her mother sitting at the dinner table crying. 'That bastard must've left again...' she thought to herself. "Mother, are you ok?" she asked walking up to her. Her mother looked even more lifeless then before. "It's you're fault! He left me again because of you!" she screamed at her daughter and smacked her. Sakura just took it, used to this every night. But then her mother did something new...her mother took a knife off the table she was sitting at and Sakura reached to take it away from her, only to have her mother stab her, Sakura quickly backed away, and then her mother took the knife covered with blood from her own daughter, and slit her throat. Sakura screamed in horror as her whole family was now gone, and she was slowly dying, slowly bleeding to death. Sakura started to cry, and couldn't catch her breath. She passed out from loss of blood still crying. She had been stabbed near her heart and it hit a major artery...

Tsunade had saved her life when she was called on scene after someone herd Sakura scream. Tsunade then took her in, and took care of Sakura like her own child. Sakura had become happy, or as close as it gets. Tsunade was more of a mother then her real one ever was. Sakura had become strong under Tsunade's teaching, and had become a happier girl. She could never trust another man, and was still sad deep down, but she also had hope, and never lost hope in Sasuke, even though everyone else had, she had to have something to strive for, and she chose that.

Sakura's sad eyes fluttered open and she took in her surroundings, trying to forget all the painful memories that had come back to her. A man sat fixing the fire and she was laying down under a blanket. "Why didn't you kill me?" She asked him. He smirked. "Finally awake I see. Well, I see pain in your eyes, and they kill your beauty, so I'm going to help take that pain away." She laughed and said "What beauty?" He ignored her, and it pissed her off, she was about to stand up when she felt the rope that tied her up. She looked down at her hands in front of her and saw that her wounds on her wrist had been treated and bandaged up. "What are you planning on doing to me, Kabuto, you damn traitor." "Well well, the little princess remembers me, does she? You'll see if you come with me. Oh, and you'll see your precious 'Sasuke-kun' too, so shut up and listen to me, or I'll kill you, and you'll never be able to prove to you're father that you're not useless." Her eyes widened in shock...how the hell did he know? "How the hell do you know about that? Damn it, you had something to do with it, didn't you?" "Hmmm, they weren't lying when they said you where the brightest little ninja." He said in a mocking tone. "I'll kill you, Kabuto! I will!" "Oh no you won't. If you kill me you won't be able to see Sasuke. And you'll never find your father." She again gave him a shocked look. 'What the hell was going on here,' but before she could ask, Kabuto hit her in the head again knocking her out. He then laughed to himself. "Poor little Sakura. You wouldn't believe who your dad is...not in a million years..."
