CHAPTER 8 Father.

-----------------------

Sakura lays back in the rain, her eyes staring up at the rain clouds. The rain mixing with her tears as she lets her loneliness radiate out of her. Her mind races with Naruto's smile, his voice, his laugh. Suddenly a pink blur seems to wash past her. She rises to come eye to eye with deep blue orbs. They seem to appear kind and gentle, much like Naruto's. Yet that's the only resemblance they have at all. She appears to look just like Sakura except for the deep blue orbs.

"Who are you?" Sakura asks in confusion of how she was to disturb her from her thoughts.

"Father was right, you are funny." The little girl says with a smile.

Sakura gives a small smile. "What's your name."

The girl smiles back. "Yuriko."

Sakura smiles even bigger. "Such a pretty name."

The girl tugs on Sakura's arm. "Come play with me."

Sakura gives the girl a funny look. "Where are your parents?"

The girl frowns. "Gone."

Sakura feels her heart drop. "Who were your parents?"

Sakura wants to know if she knew the parents of such a cute girl. Yet as the girl begins to speak Sakura feels a pressure against her side.

------------------

Sakura is wrestled from her dream as Sasuke slings her from the bed. He throws her against the wall, pinning Sakura between him and the wall. "Your mine Sakura." Sasuke screams out as Sakura tries to resist.

Sakura begins to panic as her heart drops. She finds herself unable to move as Sasuke holds his fingers in a jutsu fashion constricting Sakura's movements. "Your mine Sakura." He repeats himself as he smashes his lips against Sakura's.

Sakura struggles and tries her best to break the binds on her body as she feels Sasuke begin to tear away the hospital gown, revealing her naked flesh. Sasuke grips her left wrist pinning it above Sakura's head as he squeezes it, drawing a low howl of pain from Sakura. Sasuke begins to remove his pants when suddenly. Sakura's eyes widen as the girl that she had met in her dream flashes through her head. Her chain springs to life, piercing Sasuke through the chest.

--------------------------

A naked Sakura stands in the darkness before Sasuke. Her eyes held shut as if in a peaceful manner. Her arm extended with the chain piercing into Sasuke's chest.

Sasuke looks around as he eyes cast on the bloody nude Sakura. "What the hell? Where am I? What kinda jutsu is this?"

Sakura remains quiet, not answering any of Sasuke's questions. "You are not the one I seek... Shatter"

Sasuke feels his heart seem to ache and scream, as if a hand was squeezing all of the happiness that he had remaining and filling his heart with a depressing lonely and sad feeling. He ripped at the pain in his chest. It seemed to scream worse than the night he watched his parents die.

"What the fuck are you doing to me you bitch?!" Sasuke curses out as he tries to fight back, surprising Sakura. She lets out a small frown.

"You are foul...indeed."

Sakura shatters her chain, letting Sakura fall to the ground. Her eyes flicker open before Sasuke. "We shall fix that."

Sasuke lets out a scream as her eyes seem to pierce into Sasuke's mind.

------------------------

Sasuke falls to the ground, releasing Sakura from his grip as she watches him wither and tremble on the ground. The chain that was attached to her wrist still plunged in Sasuke's chest.

Sasuke's scream immediately alert several ANBU, as well as Tsunade and Sakura's father who was walking up to Sakura's room.

Tsunade looks at the chain buried in Sasuke's chest and she quickly retrieves Naruto's necklace. After tapping it against Sakura's wrist the chain shatters and reverts back to normal. Sakura falls over to the ground, her eyes displaying the clear shock as she tries to comprehend what happened. Tsunade wraps her arms around Sakura as the ANBU retrieve Sasuke, hauling him off to get medical treatment before Tsunade ends up killing him.

Isamu lets out a deep frown as he picks up the torn gown, draping it over Sakura as he gives his daughter a hug, prying her from Tsunade's arms. "Sakura-chan, you' okay? Daddy's here."

Sakura nods her head as she whips the tears from her eyes. "I'm okay father. He didn't do anything thing this time."

Isamu's heart seems to drop at the words this time. "You mean he's attacked you before."

Sakura nods her head as Isamu squeezes Sakura extremely tight, using her as a means to stop himself form snapping on the Uchiha, and Tsunade for that matter.

"Hokage-sama what kinda hospital do you run?" He shouts at Tsunade giving her a very angry father glare.

Tsunade lowers her head feeling the shame of not having placed ANBU on her precious student. "I'm sorry Isamu-san. I felt that the ANBU would have caused her discomfort. I just wanted her to be relaxed and happy."

Isamu continues his verbal abuse. "How dare you endanger my daughter. I don't care who the fuck you are, you have no right."

Tsunade hangs her head even lower, but before Isamu can continue Sakura stops him. "Please don't yell at Tsunade-sama. Its true. ANBU guards cause me a great deal of discomfort. I asked her to never place them in my room."

Isamu looks down at his daughter, letting his anger melt away as he hugs her gently. "Still...I could have lost you. You could have been hurt, I can't…I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt."

Sakura's father begins to cry as he cradles his daughter tightly in his arms. "It's okay father. I'm a big girl."

Isamu shakes his head. "You might have grown, but in my eyes you are still my little Sakura-chan. No matter how big or old you get, you are still my little girl."

Sakura smiles slightly as she feels her father's warm embrace. For some reason his words seem to melt into her, driving back just a little of her loneliness. "Thank you daddy."

Isamu and Sakura look up, noticing Tsunade had already left the room. Probably to punish Sasuke now that she finally had enough proof for her "stupid Uchiha-loving council" as she put it.

Isamu looks to the chain that remains around Sakura's wrist, his eyes fixed on the chain. "Sakura-chan where did you get this?"

Sakura looks at the chain, all of her comfort seems to disappear as soon as her eyes cast to it. "I don't know...I don't care."

Isamu feels his heart sink again as he hears the cold distant sound in Sakura's voice. "Sakura-chan."

Sakura rises from the floor, lying down on the bed as she looks out the window at the sky. "What did you want to talk to me about father? I want to sleep." She responds in an apathetic voice.

Isamu remains on his knees as the shock of how cold his daughter had become just in mention of the chain that remains around her wrist. "Sakura, I want to know what's wrong."

Sakura shrugs her shoulders. "Nothing."

Isamu frowns as he grabs his daughter. "Damn it Sakura, don't play this game. I am your father, you're going to tell me or -."

Sakura turns her head to Isamu. "Or what? Are you going to cry?"

Isamu shakes his head as he keeps his strength. "I'll revoke your shinobi status. I'm still your father. I still have the right."

Sakura yanks her hand away. "Then I'll leave the village."

Isamu flinches at the sharpness of Sakura's words. "Sakura..."

Sakura closes her eyes and lays back. "Just leave. I want to be alone."

Isamu tries to think of how to reach his daughter through the coldness. "Sakura I don't think Naruto would be happy with you acting like this."

His words immediately yank a tear from Sakura eyes. "Shut up father. Naruto's not here anymore."

Isamu continues his pressure. "Naruto would be sad if he saw you right now."

Sakura opens her eyes as the pain of thinking of Naruto hammers into her. "If Naruto was here right now, I wouldn't be like this." She turns her gaze back out to the streets of Konoha

Isamu sees his chance to strike. "I'm here for you Sakura. Together we can find Naruto for you."

Sakura closes her eyes again as she lays back, completely ignoring her father.

Isamu tries once more with his failed attempt. "Sakura you can't do it alone. Let me help."

Sakura remains quiet, simply letting her mind drift away onto the fond memories she had with Naruto all the smiles and laughs she runs her hand to her stomach. "Kami I hope its Naruto-kun's."

Isamu finally gives up as he decides she is completely ignoring him. He leaves the room.
