DISCLAIMER:I Do Not Own Anything But The Plot.

"Will she be okay?"
Her eyes flickered opened.
Her pale pink hair pulled back.
She sat up slowly.
Staring at the wall in front of her.
White.
It was if the walls were mocking her. Reminding her of the purity of her team. She was filthy,disgusting,a vile creature.
The room was dark yet omitting a dark blue tint,from the window. It was night and the room was cold. The humming of the air conditioner brought a strange calmness to room. Although it was eerie, she enjoyed it the way it was.
"I'm afraid not"
A whimper escaped her lips as she moved her hands. Slowly they moved towards her face. Staring into them she cried silently. They shivered,as if they were afraid
of what they had done,covered in white bandages .Opening her mouth she cried harder,only letting her tears escape. She was silent. She was afraid. She grasped her chest.
Her left eye was covered. She let her hands drop,as if she were accepting defeat.
"Hn. She had it coming"
She blinked,again and again. As if blinking would make everything go away.
Slowly moving her head she stared at the mirror left on the hospital's bedside.
Her fragile hands picked it up. Finding it strangely heavy.
Her eye was blank.
Taken a back when she saw her own reflection.
She let the mirror drop.
Her face held small wounds,head wrapped in bindings. Her lips were cracked and her left eye was covered,though tainting the bandage red. She looked different,
lost. For once she could truly say she was terrified. Her face seemed hallow and paler than usual. Her eye was distant,blank and frighteningly cold. Her hair tucked
neatly in the bindings.
She closed her eyes. She was tired.
The door creaked open.
"Sakura..."
Her eye snapped opened.
The bright white light harmed her only visible eye. She squinted and fresh tears surfaced the brim of her eye. The bright light was covered by a large shadow. Straining
her eyes to adjust to the light she saw the shadow move and close the door.
She closed her eye.
Opening them she saw Kakashi's face.
She felt an immense relief and peace at the sight of his silver hair.
He walked slowly to her.
Her heart jumped as she extended her fragile arm,wanting him to come closer. Wanting him to see the danger she held. Wanting him to see the monster she had become.
Wanting him to see the monster he didn't create.
Taking it Kakashi embraced her.
She sobbed as she clenched his Jounin vest.
He held her tight, kissing her head.
Neither said a word. He only kept on holding her as she cried out all of her pain.
For quite some time,Kakashi had always held guilt at the fact that he never trained his only female student.
His heart clenched when he had heard the rumors of Sakura being trained by Tsunade.
Sakura's abilities went largely unseen by him.
Though she proved to be very proficient with basic ninja abilities, he never saw her more than a fan girl or even to an extent weak. He was so fucking
used to the fact that he had two gifted students,that he became obsessed with them. Never noticing the decreasing self-esteem of his female student.
He had worked so hard to become an Elite Jounin,that being assigned to a team with a weak member was infuriating.
Even when Sai and Yamato were added to their team he seemed to shift more towards Sai and Yamato.
Leaving Sakura in their dust.
Though his self hatred grew deeper when Sakura was ranked as a special elite.
He had not helped her.
Now his two gifted students had left him for greater power,and he had pushed another one away.
He had congratulated her.
He had even teased her about her promotion.
But the final blow was when Sakura got promoted to Hunter nin.
Hunter Nins were trained for the soul purpose of hunting down Missing-Nins and killing them. Sakura deserved that promotion. He knew it. He also had
known that it was Sakura's wish. But it was too much. It was too much to see her move on so fast. Seeing his only innocent student become corrupted was
too much for him to bare.
He had marched right into Tsunade's office and demand her to demote Sakura to Anbu ranking.
Although Anbu Nins dealt with Assassination,He knew Sakura would be trained in Espionage and Protection first.
He had won.
Sakura had been furious,though she never figured out who was responsible for her demotion.
He had strangely come to admire the young girl. Though his guilt prevented him to barely speak to her,he was always around her.
In the series of 8 years,Sakura had become one of the strongest 21 year old ninja.
Inventing Kinjutsu attacks that were banned/outlawed by Tsunade because of their extreme danger.
Although she had no blood limit she had strengthened her Genjutsu,Taijutsu and her Ninjutsu.
All without his fucking help.
He caressed her head while she slept.
Silently begging for her forgiveness.
She had fallen asleep,head on his lap. He felt sympathy towards her. No one seemed to understand the seriousness of her situation. Overlooking
it as a mistake,was something he wouldn't do.
The door creaked open and Yamato's made his way towards Kakashi,closing the door behind him.
Lifting his hand he showed the vase of flowers and placed it on her lonely bedside table.
Slowly he made his way towards the chair in front of Sakura's bed,where Kakashi and Sakura laid.
"How is she"He whispered. His voice seemed coarse.
Kakashi looked at Yamato.
He looked worried and tired. No doubt because of the series of events taking place the night before.
Kakashi gave a small shrug.
"She's traumatized. The mission proved to be difficult for her. Any word on Tsunade?"He asked his voice sharp yet faint.
"She is angry with Sakura. Thinking of putting her in recession. The Uchiha's been giving her more trouble than expected and Naruto's making things worse"
Kakashi nodded.
"Sasuke's been giving everyone trouble. 5 years in prison don't seem to have helped after the elders death. It seems as though genocide runs in the Uchiha blood"
Yamato shrugged,leaning back towards the chair.
"I suppose so,though the council seem to see him fit for death,Naruto's defence helped the Uchiha live"
Kakashi scoffed.
"Naruto presented a simple case"
"But an effective one,If it hadn't been for Naruto that brat would have been dead"Yamato glared.
"It just proves the Council's hunger for power."
Yamato silenced himself.
It was after all true. Naruto had presented the Council with the statement "Sasuke is the last Uchiha left;Killing him would mean wiping out his Kekkai Genkai"
And that had placed Sasuke 5 years of prision and Chakra containment and no missions and rankings for a period of 8 months.
It seemed to be effective enough,but Sasuke's team had not been so lucky.
They were all placed under special surveillance.
Being used as Konoha's Guinea pig.
Being studied for their Kekkai Genkai and Juugo's cursed seal.
The door opened.
Disturbing both of them from their thinking.
"Kakashi,Yamato I would like for you to leave me alone with Sakura"
Staring into Tsunade's eyes they stood and left.
Feeling sorry for the sleeping girl.
I was rushed during the last part.
