Chapter 3
Sakura looked away and slowly nodded her head. "As of now, you are no longer his hand maid and your replacement Kanan will start tomorrow in you place. He will be punished. Don't you worry. Kakashi please escort her to her room and stay on watch." Naruto stated. Kakashi nodded his head and followed Sakura as she exited the room leaving the others with Sasuke. Kakashi and Sakura walked in silence. Sakura played with her hands as they walked and Kakashi glanced at her.
"Are you okay?" Kakashi asked eyeing her. She nodded her head in silence. Tears started flowing out of eyes dropping on the floor. Kakashi heard her sniffling and saw the tears falling. He stopped walking. He turned toward her and gripped her shoulder making her face him. She pulled away from him startled. He quickly apologized seeing that he frightened her. " I just wanted to say…I won't let him hurt you anymore. I promise." He smiled softly behind his mask. Sakura showed a small smile back at him.
"Thank you Kakashi." She said in a hushed tone.
"Kakashi sensei you mean?" He retorted.
Huh? Oh right you'll be teaching me to be a ninja for the anbu." Sakura realized as they continued walking down the corridor.
"We will undergo training including studying of the human body, and you will begin carrying a mask and have a code name. I'll get you in the morning and we can start right away." Kakashi explained. Sakura stopped walking and pointed at the door. She told Kakashi it was her and she entered bidding goodnight to Kakashi as he did the same and stood outside her door once she closed it.
Sakura's POV
I walked into my room shutting the door behind me. I took a deep breath. I went to my bathroom and undressed. I looked at myself in the mirror, noticing all the bruises on my body. I turned the water on for the shower and hopped in. I let the water wash away all dirtiness I felt. I was disgusted with myself. I washed myself with the soap and water. Nothing ever changed. Before the orphanage, it was my mother's boyfriend, then the guys at the orphanage, now this. I don't know how much more I can take. I sat down in the tub just letting the water hit me as I cried softly in to my hands. I never felt clean, not really anyway. I sat unmoving for hours unsatisfied. The water started to get cold. I heard a knock on the bathroom door. That guard must have came in. The knocking came again. "Sakura? Are you okay? You've been in there for a while." He pointed out. I turned the water off and grabbed the towel from the rack. I wrapped it around myself.
"I'm fine. I'm getting out now." I yelled back at him. I heard shuffling and a muffled okay before I exited the bathroom. No one was in my room and the door was closed. I dried myself off and put on my pajamas for the night. I crawled into bed and fell asleep a fast as I could.
Kakashi's POV
I walked Sakura to her room. When we arrived she opened the door and closed it behind her. I heard shuffling as she walked around. I could smell Sasuke's scent on her still. I could hear her turning the shower on. I leaned against her door just watching people walk by. Hours passed by but the water never stopped. I opened her door and walked to the bathroom door. I knocked on the door. "Sakura? Are you okay? You've been in there for a while." I yelled at her through the door. I heard the water turn off.
"I'm fine. I'm getting out now." She yelled back. I said okay before I got out of the room. I closed the door behind me and sat down with my back against the door. I closed my eyes for a moment before I fell into a light sleep making sure I was able to wake up if anything happened.
