"You haven't cried,Sakura-chan"
"I mustn't"
"He was your fiancé"
She nodded slightly,her small petite figure trembling. He held her,while she cried,stroking her hair gently.
"Gaara loved you till the very end."
She shook her head slightly,as she held on to him.
"Its my fault he isn't here,I didn't deserve his love"she whispered,voice trembling as she cried quietly.
And deep down,he could offer no real comfort,because he knew she was right.
When they returned,the door had already been opened. Kakashi,took the first tentative steps,kunai in hand. Many of them,walked into the room cautiously. Avoiding to walk into the bloody bodies,and detached limbs of the victims,not believing that a single, fragile, girl could have done such a crime.
But their eyes kept searching,seeking for their leader,and the sole destructor of the poor victims. Soon their search came to a halt,as they found who they were looking for.
It was probably one of the most grotesque and heart breaking sight they had ever seen. On the,blood covered,floor
laid Sakura. Her body thrown against the wall,like a discarded rag doll.
Naruto,out of all the ninja's in the room,reacted first. His orange jumpsuit,covered entirely with dirt,ripped in odd places.
Running towards the mangled body of his beloved,he gave a heart wrenching cry,as he fell to his knees besides her. Claiming her into his arms,he laid his head on the swell of her breast. Crying silently,as he shook his head.
She was so broken,and there was so much blood.
So much blood.
His head snapped to where the hokage stood,helped by other Ninjas, facing him.
"YOU!"he roared as he held Sakura tightly. Tears free falling,onto the girls forhead. "You did this to her"He finished with a sob.
Tsunade,shook her head violently,tears falling gracefully onto the floor.
Slowly,the pain began,consuming her very being. She had no choice,it had had to be done,she gave a small sob,as her head hung low.
"No,no,no"Naruto chanted,over and over again. Gently,he kissed her forehead,wiping some of the blood off of her.
She was dead.
Murdered by her own idol.
Looking up at the sky,Naruto screamed. His face wet,with sweat,tears and her blood.
Her blood.
"Ahhhhh!"A scream torn from his lips,in agony. As his body shook,trembling with the mezmorizing pain.
Kakashi,let his kunai fall,as his hand went to his chest. His eyes were shut tightly,and he could utter no words.
"Sakura"He whispered,and slowly the old teacher cried silently for his dearly loved student.
Sasuke,took a step closer,mouth opened,trying to form words that would not escape his lips. His eyes were wide with fear,
and slowly he reached Naruto.
Falling to his knees beside him,he shook his head.
A quiet "No" left the last Uchiha's cold lips.
Naruto pushed him away,staining the Uchiha's,once white,shirt even more,greedily taking the girls body,and covering her up.
Her hair,was wet,matted with her own blood,the hospital gown was no more. She was left naked.
But the Uchiha would have none of it,he wanted her,the gnawing need in his chest,to protect her.
To be her savior for once in his life. She had suffered enough,he needed to be there. But before he could push Naruto out of the way,a shrill voice cried out.
"Sieze team seven"
Heads turned,and the battle began.
Konoha Ninja's vs Team Seven and a few others that disobeyed the councils.
The prize,Sakura's dead body.
"Sakura-chan?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you love me?"
She giggled slightly.
"Always and forever"
He gave a geninune smile.
"Promise?"
"Always and forever,Sai"
"Always and forever"
Her eyes opened slightly.
The screams that erupted from the room,silently echoed.
Opening her mouth,she tried her hardest to scream,to make them aware,that she felt.
Swords came in contact with Kunai's,as battle cry after battle cry thumped in her ears.
She needed help as her body suddenly became aware. Pain after pain washed over her.
Paralyzed,grief over took her body,as tears gently caressed her pale,blood-stained, cheeks.
Moving slightly,she let out a chocked scream,and the battle came to an abrupt halt.
"Sakura!"
She groaned,as she felt cool hands touch her lightly.
"She's alive!"Sai shouted,as he held her,tightly wrapping an arm around her slender shoulders.
"Always and forever"He whispered,as his tears joined hers.
Team Seven Rejoiced,she was alive.
"You could change the world if you wanted to,Sakura"
He stared out at the horizon. It was their favorite place to see the sun rise,the hokage's monument.
"If I wanted to,Neji"
She answered. Turning her head to gaze at him,giving him a breath-taking smile. His favorite smile.
"If you wanted to"
"This doesn't change anything"He growled,sharingan whirling dangerously.
Tsunade,tiredly looked away,dull amber eyes staring at the horizon. She was critically injured,but she denied the chance to be admitted
in to the hospital.
The sun was setting.
Suddenly feeling a cool blade at her neck,she turned to meet the eyes of her once faithful ninja's.
"You almost murdered her"Sasuke hissed,pressing the blade deeper into the blonde hokage.
She had the audacity to laugh,tears falling onto the blade. Head hung low in defeat. She knew what she had done,and she was still paying for the consequences. The screams,the blood. She should have stopped,she shouldn't have gone so far,especially when her apprentice, screamed and begged, her to stop the pain.
"You're going to kill your leader,Uchiha?"She asked,in a low whisper.
Witnessing as many of the Ninja's shook their heads,one by one,taking out their weapons.
It was then,that the hokage realized,that her young apprentice held a great amount of influence.
Neji looked at her, disappointment evident in his pure white eyes,Naruto shook with suppressed anger. Sai held a kunai at bay,his fingers itching to use the murderous weapon. Kakashi stared into her very soul,daring her to oppose him.
Sasuke growled.
"Don't tempt him"Yamato spoke eerily.
"I am no longer part of this corrupt village"Sai spoke softly,throwing his hitai-ate towards the hokage's desk. Shizune,and Tsunade both stiffened. This was the last thing Konoha needed,a revolution.
Slowly,one by one removed their forehead protectors.
Naruto,took a few steps,and placed a hand on Sasuke's sword. Placing light pressure,he removed the offending item,away from the hokage's throat.
Sasuke growled,but nonetheless,removed his hitai-ate from his wrist and let it fall towards the floor.
Lifting his head up,piercing blue eyes met amber teary eyes.
"You deserve to live with the guilt,of almost killing someone precious to this village. You don't deserve to die"
Throwing his forehead protector,towards the floor,he left.
Leaving a sobbing Hokage behind.
"Sakura,why do you hate me?"
He watched her intensely,eyes following the kunai's that left her slender finger and embedded themselves into the bark of the tree.
"I do not"
"Liar"he hissed, angrily.
"Because,Yamato. I don't need another mentor,telling me,hammering it into my mind,that I need to be protected"
His gaze,followed the several shurikens that zipped through the air,landing straight at the target.
"You're irreplaceable. Not weak,we can not afford to loose you."
"I've always hated you,you know?"
Silence. Her teammates,fidgeted uncomfortably,they had never seen Karin,confess such feelings. But as their gaze traveled towards
the broken pink haired beauty,who sat at on the hospital bed,staring at the wall opposite of her,covered in white bed sheets;chained to the post,they wondered if she had heard Karin's confession.
"I guess....it was mostly jealousy"
Sakura gave a hoarse laugh.
"I'm not joking."The red head glared.
Licking her lips,Sakura gave a small,almost inaudible sob.
"You?.....jealous?....of me? Do you not see me now?"
Karin,pushed her glasses back. Turning to meet the girls,red,from her crying,vibrant emerald eyes.
"I....have destroyed everything. Killed those whom were innocent. I have become.....something I have always hated I've become-"
"A psychotic,a monster,a freak"Her eyes narrowed,body stiffened as she heard his cool voice."Why Sakura,we're exactly the same"He sneered."Your just another filthy hypocrite,taught to believe that ninja's are the only one who have the right to murder"
"Taught to believe,that a criminal has no family,taught to belive that murdering a criminal is getting rid of the vile vermins in this world. Forgetting,that,that criminal,could also be a loving father,a mother, a sister,a daughter, a son"
Juugo's voice penetrated deeply,screaming,she tried to drown his voice.
Pulling on her chains,her body went limp,as she shook,sobbing and crying.
"Sasuke's always had you in a high fucking pedestal,and now,I'm beginning to see why"Suigetsu drawled,speaking for the first time.
"You're everything he is not. You're innocent,but still let the corrupt roam with you. And even though,darkness has touched your pure soul at this point,you're still innocent"Juugo finished.
"Do not disappoint him. We will leave tonight. If you are up to the journey,we will wait at the gates till midnight" Suigetsu said,as he ushered Juugo and himself out the door,letting light flood,the semi-dark room,giving a curt nod to Karin as they left.
Sakura,had stopped crying,but her head hung low,as she took in their words.
"I will no longer fight a losing battle,Sakura"The red-head whispered. Sakura's head snapped towards the curvaceous red head. Her jaw slackened,as she tried to find the right words.
"He loves you. And I only hope....that you'll give him the peace he has been looking for"
And with that,Karin stood and gracefully made her way to the door.
Hand on the knob,she turned to face,the saddened konouchi,and before leaving,she whispered softly.
"We will be waiting for you"
"Sasuke-kun.."
He looked away,avoiding her eyes.
"Don't call me that"
"You're back. I-....I-"
"I did not come to you,Sakura. Do not get your hopes up"
"I wasn-"
"I would have thought you had outgrown you're petty infatuations"
Dropping the small daisy,she smiled,tears forming at the rim of her beautiful irredecent eyes.
"I'm engaged,Sasuke-kun. I do not love you anymore"she whispered.
And turning around,she left him,his heart aching,with a pain,a feeling he hadn't realized he felt for the girl.
