Chapter four -Crying in the Rain
Hours becomes days, days becomes weeks, weeks becomes months and the pink haired kunoichi just sat in the little Dango shop, waiting for they so called Fellowship of Shinkou to appear in the small village with the name; Chimachima. But with no luck.
" Maybe they have grow tired of this place and left..." she said to herself, becouse she already had. " That idiot... He told me this was an A -ranked mission, but all I did was to help an old lady cross the street. Tomorrow I will leave this place and head home and Naruto will be sorry that he gave me a D -ranked mission...!"
The pink haired kunoichi lay her chin in her hands and watched the villages people do their daily business. Some children was playing 'ninja' on their way home from schoole, older women stod outside a shop and looked at some expensive looking kimonos, men bragged about how beautiful their wife was or what they did for living and the somewhat older girls was giggling at the other side of the street when a good looking man was passing them.
The kunoichi looked quite envious at the girls at the street and sighed deeply. She too wanted to be one of thoose girls, who could bring out the cutes side of themself to snare one of those handsome man passing the street.
She was far from being cute or have a sex appealing nowadays. She didn't have Inos look or Hinatas body, compare to them she was ugly and flat-chested.
But a certain memory flash through her mind. A silver haired man had his body up against hers and was damned close to kiss her.
She shook her head furiously to make that memory disappear out of her head. Why did she suddenly start to think about that memory? It was not like she was happy that he almost had kissed her or that he had approach her in that way he did.
`Maybe I'm just a bit lonely... And beside... he was drunk...´
" Yeah, drunk as a pig... He did it just to piss me off..." the pink haired kunoichi mumbled. " Like he always do... I bet he was the one who talked Naruto into give me this fucking lame misson..."
The pink haired kunoichi looked at the blond haired man behind the desk at the Hokages office and he looked back at her.
" You wanted to talk to me..." she said to him.
" Yeah... I have a mission to you, Sakura -Chan..." he said
" What kind of mission?"
" An A -ranked on. It is a little village some miles from the Wind Countrys borders. It's in need of our help. A gang who is calling themself the Fellowship of Shinkou, is terrorizing the village people and that is bad for the business for that village." the blond haired man said and gave her a scroll with more information.
" Do we knew something about this gang?" she asked.
" Not much I'm afraid..." he said to her and she sighed.
" Maybe I can give you some..." a calm voice said behind her.
" Kakashi -Sensei..." the blond man said a little surprised.
" The gang leader is an escaped prisoner from the Tea Country. He is known to be violent and cruel to those who disobey him. I think his name was Korou Shinkou... He is really a dangerous man. Are you sure you want to send Sakura alone, Naruto?" Kakashi said.
" I was going to ask you to accompany her, Sensei..." Naruto told him.
" No thanks. I can handle this by myself." she growl at them. " I'm not as weak as you think I'm!"
" I don't think you are weak, Sakura -Chan..." Naruto said with a slight fawning voice.
" Stop addressing me like that, Naruto! I'm leaving and don't follow me!" she said, glanced at Kakashi before she walked out of the room.
Sakura looked up in the sky, the sun was shining bright and it warmed her face.
" It's an awfully good weather to day, maybe I should take the rest of the day to just relax and shop some souvenirs to Ino and I maybe to Shikamarus and Temari -Sans baby girls, after all I didn't give them nothing when they were born..." she took herself up from the wooden bench and walked out of the Dango shop.
She stoped at a little shop who sold charm stuff and she looked at some coloured stones.
" Maybe I will buy Ino one of this..? She maybe will like it." Sakura said to herself and took a stone with a pearly luster, out of a box.
" I wouldn't choose that stone if I were you..." a squeaky voice said behind her and Sakura jumped.
" No-Not?" Sakura said still shaky becouse of that elderly woman who seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
" You shouldn't... That moonstone is not suited for a girl like you... I recommend the Rose quartz or Chrysocolla for you, my dear child..." the elderly woman told her.
" And -And why is that?" Sakura asked.
" Becouse the Rose Quartz will allow you to give out more love to those who need it and to help you to overcome you heartache and let you learn to forgive and to heal what once was... And the Chrysocolla is the Gem of Ainokami, it stands for Beauty, Love and Harmony. It's a perfect stone for one who is still living in guilt and wants to make it up with their demons in side of them..."
Sakura looked in shock at the elderly woman in front of her.
Somehow Sakura knew that this old hag had hit the nail on the head, but how she did it one Sakura still didn't know.
" I -I was thinking of give this stone to one of my friends, not to myself..." Sakura told the woman.
" Oh, then it will be a very good gift to your friend. It's a feminine stone who will help your friend to find her feminine aspects. Really good chose indeed..." the elderly woman said to Sakura who just wanted to get out of the shop as fast as possible.
" Eh, thanks... I will keep that in mind..." Sakura said and paid the elderly woman.
The woman smiled at Sakura with a toothless smile and gave Sakura something hard, pink and sheeny.
" I didn't paid for this." Sakura told the old hag.
" I will give it to you for free. You are in need of this gemstone more then this shop is. This Rose Quartz will take care of you and your troubles..." the old hag said to her.
Sakura looked down on the sheeny pink stone in her palm.
`I don't need this stupid gem.´
" You will need it, trust me about that." the old hag smiled again.
Sakura was on her way out of the shop, when the elderly woman called for her.
" Young lady, I think you should let those two men in to your heart it will be good for you and one more thing, you should be careful out there becouse someone is after your neck... I will pray for you, my dear child..." the old hag said to Sakura who run away as fast as she could.
Sakura throwed herself in to the bed at the inn she was staying at. It was already dark outside and some stars was sparkling high up in the dark blue night sky.
She was still annoyed about what that old hag had said to her back at the shop.
"...you should let those two men in to your heart..."
`How the heck does she know?! And way should I take hers advice anyway?´
" It's not like I need them nowadays... I have myself, Ino and hers friends, it's all I need..." Sakura mumbled to herself.
But a blurry image of a silver haired man who pressed his body against hers, passed her mind once again and a question popped in to her mind.
Why did he actually do it to her? Why her of so many other womens who he could have chosen? Why her?
The answer was as clear as the brightest star up on the vault of heaven;
He was a man. A drunk perv who just wanted to mess with her and that made her to hate him even more.
" That shithead... If I see him again I will beat the living daylight out of him!" she snarled and start to punch the defenseless pillow in her bed.
" ...Rose Quartz will allow you to give out more love to those who need it and to help you to overcome you heartache and let you learn to forgive and to heal what once was..."
Sakura paused in her attempt to kill the pillow and turned her head to look at the nightstand and saw at the pink stone. The old hags words still echoing in her head.
" That's just bullshit... Your lying old hag..." Sakura muttered and looked at the window, the new moon was now to been seen. " I'll never overcome my heartache... I can't forgive... I can't heal what once was... Never as long as I live in this world with them... If I couldn't bring Sasuke back to me, what point is it for me to live? I did only love one man... A man who was killed by my friend and Sensei... I can't love again, how does that old hag think I will give out more love when just wearing that damn stone..!?"
`When I not even can love myself anymore...´
***
The birds was soaring up in the sky and a pink haired kunoichi was on her way home to her own village. The sun was scorching hot while she dashed through the forest, wondering if she should stop somewere to have a breather.
But she decided that it was better if she just hurried home and later on take a quick break to rest somewhere. It was only a day march to Konoha in this speed and with a shorter break, if she was luckly she would reach Konoha tomorrow at noon.
When the sun was lowering itself behind the trees, the pink haired kunoichi stoped to eat and rest. She had finde a place with a river who was meandering its way through the forest.
She took a bite of her Onigiri and watched how the river flow calmly and almost soundless through the forest. Memories she almost had thought was gone, start to making it's way into her mind again.
The pink haired little girl watched how the two boys in her team start to compete with each other over who-could-catch-as-many-fishes-in-one-minute-without-getting-soaked.
" You don't have a chance, Naruto..." the pink haired girl said to the blond haired boy.
" You just watch me, Sakura -Chan!" he said with a grin.
" You are noisy, usuratonkachi..." the black haird boy said to the blond haired boy.
" Don't hate me if I catch the firts one... Sasuke -Kun..." Naruto said to the black haired boy who snort at him.
" You are so silly, Naruto!" Sakura said to Naruto.
" What's with all this noise?" a calm voice said behind Sakura, who turned around.
" Kakashi -Sensei! Where have you been?" Sakura asked their Sensei.
" Oh... I was looking out for..." he began but got cut off by Narutos loud voice.
" He was reading that odd book again!" Naruto cried out.
" Naruto!" Sakura said to him with a pressure vein growing. " YOU should not talk to Sensei like that!"
" I'm really touched by your respect towards me, Sakura..." Kakashi said with a smile to the pink haired little girl and lay a hand on her shoulder.
Sakura looked into the silver haired mans face and she start to blush. She turned quickly away from his face, but her heart wouldn't stop beating like crazy. This wasn't normal, she had only felt this kind of heartbeat for her only love, Sasuke.
" Sakura -Chan? Are you ok?" Naruto asked.
" I -I'm fine..." she told him and looked at her Sensei who was now at the riverbed, to watch the boys struggling to get a fish.
`This-This can't be love! I'm 12 and he is like... old...´Sakuras inside scremed.
" Are you joining us, Sakura?" Kakashi asked her with a smile.
" Umm... O-Okay..." Sakura said took herself up from the grass and walked towards them.
`I'm must be mad. He is just nice to me. Like he always is.´
Sakura looked out over the river. She thought she had seen something in the bushes, but maybe she was wrong.
But she couldn't belive why this memory had shown up in her mind. She was back then just a kid who loved her Sensei in a teacher - student sort of way. She still didn't know why she even had thinking that thought, about she be Lovey Dovey with her Sensei. He was much older the her.
" That's just sick..." she mumbled to herself and she still felt like somebody was watching her somewhere over the riverside, but she couldn't see who. " Maybe my mind is going crazy..?"
She raised from the grass and looked suspicious around herself. Waiting for something or someone to reveal itself.
Then suddenly kunais was forcing its way through the air over the river and Sakura jumped to not get hit by them.
She pulled out her one kunai and looked at the river.
`This can't be happening!´
She then felt someone behind her and she turned around to grab that person and throwed it in to a tree.
The person died immediately and Sakura was sure that the person was not a ninja. Becouse if he was, he would still be alive but with severe injuries.
She dodge the next shower of kunais and she was still looking for the person throwing the kunais and maybe that persons friends.
" You are just a bunch of cowards!" she shouted and that maybe wasn't a good choice to do.
" Cowards you say!" an unfamiliar voice called out behind her and Sakura turned around.
The one she could see was a man in his later twenties and he had black half long hair and dark eyes. His outfit was just really simple, he wore a dark shorter pants and a beige tunic.
Sakura clenched her hand around the kunai she hold on to. She didn't want to do something that would give him the advantage of this battle.
" You are not going to attack me? What a pity, I who was looking forward to it..." he said to her with a soft smile on his handsome face.
With a blink of an eye the man in front of Sakura was gone.
`Where did he go?´
" I'm behind you sweetheart..." the unfamiliar mans voice whispered in Sakuras ear. " Do you want to have some fun..?"
Sakura tried to get away from him but it was no use, she was already stuck in his grip.
`Shit! He is fast, I didn't thought he would be that fats. But he have meet wrong girl to have fun with...´
" You want to have fun..? Then I will let you have some..." Sakura glanced at the man and she broke herself free from the mans grip.
The man looked surprised at Sakura and he took some steps from her.
" I didn't imagine you would be that strong..." he said, still with a soft smile on his face. " I love girls like you... It makes me want them even more..."
Sakura curled her upper lip at the man and turned to face the man.
" Don't fuck with me!" she roared to the man and then she felt how she was forced down by six others behind her.
`This is bad... If I don't do something quick, who know what they will do...´
Sakura kicked with both her legs and feets at those who held them. Some lost its grip, but was soon back in the game of holding down the super strong woman.
" Let me go, bitches!" she growled while spitting dirt and grass out of her mouth.
Those who held her to the ground turned her back against the soft soiled and she was forced to look up to the star filled nigth sky. If it hadn't been for the situation she was in, she would have enjoyed the view.
" Well, well... You are really foul-mouthed, aren't you?" the handsome black haired man said to her and put a foot on to Sakuras cheek, before he crouched down beside her. " Let us make a deal. We will let you go, if you don't show your face here again. Is that a deal?"
" Up my ass, dick..." Sakura said to the man and he didn't look pleased.
" Very well... Then I will do as I please with you..." the man looked at a brown haired man who nodded.
The brown haired man took out a green glass bottle out of his clothes and leaned over Sakura, who took her opportunity to strike.
" Aarrgh! That bitch bit my cheek!" the brown haired man yelled in pain.
Sakura looked at the man in triumph, while she tried hard to get the tast of blood out of her mouth.
" Gaisu... You will do it..." the black haired man told someone els Sakura couldn't see.
A man with greasy raven-black hair and stitched rigth eye appeared in front of her.
" Open wide, puppet..." the raven-black haired man said to her and pressed her mouth open.
The bottle mouth was now touching Sakuras lips and the ill tasted liquid was making its way through her throat.
" Did it tast good, puppet?" the raven-black haired man asked with a grin in his deformed face.
Sakura start to feel numb, but she could still feel how they pushed her down to the ground.
" Gaisu, see if she still has her strength. If she does, then you better watch out..." the handsome black haired man said to those who held her down.
The raven-black haired man slaped the pink haired kunoichi face, making her to bleed from her mouth.
Even how much she did want to kill this bastard, she couldn't move a muscle. All that come was some fait twitching from her arms.
" She won't harm a fly..." the raven-black haired man said facing the handsome black haired man.
" That's good..." he smiled evily at the kunoichi on the ground.
Then everything went so fast for Sakura who laid helpless on the ground, the black haired man astraddle her and start to rip her clothes of. He laid his body over hers and stroke his stubbled cheek against her smooth one. He kissed her brutally while his hand traveled down to the lower area of her body.
She wanted to screm, but she couldn't becouse of the numbness of her body. All she really could do was to stare blankly up at the nigth sky, while the man raped her merciless. Most of the pain she couldn't feel yet, but she was sure that it would come sooner or later.
The night sky was now being blocked by some darker clouds and she felt how the man top of her were done with his raping.
" It's not often you will find a women at your age as a virgin..." he said to her with a evil smile.
He raised from Sakura who still laid helpless on the ground. Naked, wounded and humiliated to that degree she was thinking if they just could put an end to her suffering.
" Leave her..." the black haired man said to his men. " She won't be found here and with that it will put an end to her... But if you would survive, I have a warning for you... If you put your cut little face here again, I will kill the new born of this village one by one..."
The man looked at her and then nodded to his men that they would take off and so they did.
Sakura looked up at the sky and she could feel some cold drops falling to her face, before the sky opened up and let the rain fall all over the place.
Why did she let this happen? Why couldn't she do something to have stoped it? Why was she so weak?
Suddenly she could feel a flow of tears down her cheeks.
`I'm so pathetic! Why do I even cry? Everything was my own fault, they took advantage of me already from the start... Then why do I cry?´
The rain was still pouring down and she had a hard time to keep her eyes open.
" I can't end my life like this..." she mumbled before everything went black.
Author note:
I just wanted to do a chapter with Sakura being in a state of weakness. D
I have been working a lot and I have had a brain error with this chapter, but I hoped that is fixed now. ;)
And I'm again apologizing if my English is not good.
And some notes;
When I writes the text like this it means that the person in question is thinking. When I writes like this the person emphasis just that word and when I writes like this that means flashbacks.
Do still feel free to ask me if something is bothering you. I will answer.
Take care!
