RECAP : Sasuke has taken off after raping Sakura and Kakashi and Naruto have found her Kakashi doesn't know whats going on because he ran a bath but Naruto does and he also knows that Sakura saw him and Gaara. So Naruto is gonna sit with Sakura while she's in the bath an Kakashi is just gonna clean so far.
Sakura and Naruto entered the bathroom. Sakura still wasn't sure about Naruto but at this point he'd had already seen eveything. Sakura was understandably scared when Naruto took a step toward her to take her blanket.
"Sakura...you can't take a bath with this on, you saw me...it's ok"
"Ok but..just...just close your eyes until I get into the bath ok..."
"Heh, ok Sakura"
Naruto grabbed the blanket closed his eyes and slid it off of her. As promised he kept his eyes closed until she said it was ok. Naruto looked over at her and noticed she winced at the water. He also noticed it soon turned from the water hurting to the water healing. Naruto sat cross legged leaning his side on the tub and facing Sakura.
"Sakura...this this isn't your fault, you need to know that"
"Hmm...can we just change the subject"
"Um ok...so you uh saw me and uh...on the teacups..."
"Umm..yes I did...oh but I completely support you"
"Well thank you but...I'm just not really sure what...what's going...on...I was gonna as Kakashi Sensei..."
"Well, I'm here..."
"I don't know...I think these questions are...for a man..."
"I'll have to do my best then."
"Gee Sakura...I I mean they...you wouldn't get it..."
"Alright but I think I'm just as apt to answer these questions as Kakashi is...hey would you hand me that soap?"
"Ya think so so eh..."
"Yep I do."
It got silent as Sakura moved her hands down to wash away Sasuke's remnants from her body. Sakura needed someone to talk about this to. She started crying. Then she turned her heads towards Naruto and proceeded to tell him what he'd stopped her from saying earlier.
MEANWHILE
Kakashi gathered up the sheets and went to the kitchen to them in the sink. He got the stains out as much as he could but it only turned from crimson to orange. He didn't want anything left to remind Sakura of whatever happened so he threw them out. He then got to thinking why wasn't Sasuke here if anyone he could've stopped whoever did this. He then recalled that before he fled he stepped out of Sakura's room. He still didn't even suspect Sasuke did anything but he was wondering why he'd left. He hadn't taken anything worth stealing with him so if he was on his way back to Konoha it was ok. He shrugged it off, he'd figure it out sooner or later. He then realized that Sakura would be staying with them tonight . He went across the hall to fix up her bed and ordered some dinner seeing as it was already 7:30.
BACK AGAIN
Naruto looked up at her when he heard he start to speak.
"...Ya know it was my first..."
"Sakura you don't have to te-"
"No, I need to tell someone...I'd always wanted him to be my first...I wasn't ready...he kissed me after I yelled at him...to me nothing was wrong i just thought he was falling in love with me...like I always hoped he would...then he put his hand up the back of my shirt...and then he brought his hand around and and I...I pushed him away and and he grabbed me by my arm...and it hurt, I didn't think he would hurt me..."
"Sakura..."
Sakura's breathing was almost labored as she continued. Naruto's eyes had welled up too.
"Well, he told me I tease him and he slapped me everytime a struggled...then he told me to...take my shirt off and I...I said no and he came toward me like...like he was going to kill me and he forced it off and ...he hit me for struggling...I called out for you...so he grabbed my throat...then he took me in the...other room and he tried taking off my bottoms but...i kicked him in the stomach...but he recovered fast and pinned me down and...he tried..."
"Sakura...you needed me...you called for me..."
"No it wasn't your fault...please listen...I want someone to know everything that happend...I'm just sorry it has to be you..."
"Don't be Sakura..."
At this point Sakura was openly crying and Naruto was trying to hide the fact that he too was crying. He wanted to be strong for her.
"Well um...he took of my...um..well my underwear...and he tried to kiss me there and I...I tried to push him off and I almost got up but he grabbed me again...and I thought he was about to slap me but...*sob* but instead...when I closed my eyes for the slap...he broke me with his fingers and I was bleeding a little... and he threw me on the bed and he started and..."
"Sakura...I..."
"It hurt bad...very bad and I was in and out of consciousness and he did it so hard...that's how all the blood got on the sheets...I think I should be the one cleaning those...when I woke up he was on top of me and still in me...he was going to slap me again but he punched my stomach instead...and he told me it was my fault...and i tried getting him out of me and so I moved towards the top of the bed...but he stopped me and he jerked me towards him by my arm...and he grabbed my face and told me if I told anyone he'd come back for more and thew me byb my face onto the bed..."
"...Sakura...I'm so sorry..."
"Well anyway after that I thought he'd just leave...but he got up and...he pulled me off the bed by my hair...and he kissed me coldly...it was awful...then her grabbed my throat and shoved me against that wall and broke it from under me...*sob*...and then he left...and then you guys came..."
"Sakura ...that's awful, I should've been here to help...I'm so sorry"
"No, it's not your fault..."
"Let me wash your back.."
Naruto got up and sat behind Sakura on the edge of the tub. He started washing over the bruises and cuts. The more he washed the worse he felt, he should've been there. This was his fault in his mind.
"N-naruto...this isn't your fault either, remember that."
"Thank you Sakura, I'll make this up to you for the rest of my life."
As he said this tears rolled from his eyes and Sakura could hear it in his voice that he was crying.
"Naruto if I could stay with you and Kakashi-Sensei tonight..."
"Sakura I'm pretty sure Kakashi-Sensei has already made us all dinner."
"Naruto, one more thing, I do want to answer those questions so save them, and if you could tell Kaka-Sensei...what happened before I get out..."
"Sure thing..."
Naruto finished washing her back and left the bathroom. He left the door cracked and walk through the small apartment like hotel room. As soon as he was out of earshot he started sobbing at what happened to Sakura. He was holding them back as much as he could but they wouldn't stop. He walked over to the room across the hall where Kakashi had made a whole feast for them. Even though Kakashi was the last person Naruto wanted to cry in front of that's just what he did.
"Kakashi Sensei Sakura wanted me to tell you what happened, she doesn't think she could tell you face to face..."
"Well what could be so bad..."
"...It was Sasuke...he...raped her...and those cuts and bruises were from him too..*sob*...she was a virgin..."
Kakashi dropped the plate he drying and crashed to the floor. Sakura had figured by the plate crashing that Naruto had found Kakashi, she wasn't sure he'd told him but she still figured it was time to get out of the tub, before she completely shriveled up. She stepped out still incredibly sore and wrapped a towel around her hair and one around her body. She started walking out the bathroom. Trying to think where she'd put her bag with fresh clothes.
As she continued out of the bathroom she heard Kakashi and Naruto talking...she heard them saying that she'd be staying with them that night. She was so relieved she did not want to be by herself. Although she seemed recovered she was still crying the tears wouldn't stop. Her breathing was unaffected so she herself didn't even notice it when she was drying off.
She was hoping for a quick recovery from this but she knew that wasn't going to happen physically or mentally. She went into the room the incident had happened in. She was shocked to see that someone had taken up the bloody sheets. Then she remembered where that blood came from and blushed thinking she should've washed them. She walked over to he dresser and got our some fresh clothes not wanted to put the others on.
She got dressed relatively fast. She opened the door and at the same time from the other end Naruto pushed the door open too. He was panting and his eyes were watering.
"Sa-sakura *pant* I couldn't f-find you *pant* and this door was shut I-I thought...*pant* uh nevermind...anyway Kakashi-Sensei said that he did in fact plan on you staying with us so um... you go over to our room and I'll pack your things ok...?"
"Oh...yea sure I should help you pack thought I mean it i my mess."
"No, you go over to our room, Sensei's waiting..."
"...Thank you Naruto..."
As Sakura was leaving she gave Naruto a light kiss and walked out, leaving Naruto blushing. Naruto started packing for Sakura he bent down to pick up the clothes off the floor. He noticed they had blood on them from her busted lip. He couldn't pack them like this. He went to the bathroom to wash them in the sink. He came in and noticed that Sakura had forgotten to drain the bath. He rolled up his sleeve and was about to reach for the drain, when he looked at the water he noticed it was slightly bloody from all of the dried blood. Naruto thought he had stopped but at sight he laid his head on his arm and began sobbing once more.
Sakura left Naruto and walked across the hall to the other's room. As she came in she saw Kakashi drying dishes by hand. When he heard the door open he turned around as fast as she'd ever seen someone turn their head. When he saw it was Sakura he dropped the plate in the sink along with the towel, this time the plate was ok. He ran over to her, tears in his eyes, bent down half way and hugged her, one hand on her back and one on the back of her neck. Sakura was extremely shocked but when she realized what was happened she hugged him right back.
They stayed locked in that hug for only about 5 seconds before Kakashi started crying. He didn't want her to know, he was supposed to be strong but his quivering body gave him away. She assumed that if Kakashi was crying so was Naruto. She thought back and now she too was crying, her crying was much louder and harder than Kakashi's, Kakashi only hugged her tighted and Sakura did the same, burying her face in his shoulder. She realized how loud she was being when Naruto came barging in.
"SAKURA...oh sorry..."
They quickly let the hug go. Sakura let go because she didn't want Kakashi-Sensei thinking she was weak, Kakashi was afraid she'd think he was weak seeing as he too had been crying.
"It's ok Naruto...you didn't do anything wrong"
"I got your things packed..."
"...Thank you Naruto..."
Sakura was clearly thanking him for more than packing for her. She came closer and hugged him tightly too. Naruto hugged her back as both of their crying subsided. During this time Kakashi had gone to the bathroom to ice his eyes so to not look like he, their greatly esteemed sensei, had just cried in the arms of a young girl half his size.
Once their crying had stopped, Sakura took her bag to the third room that would've been Sasuke's. She came out and saw the huge feast they'd prepared for her. They were all of her were all sniffly no matter how much Kakashi tried to cover it. Naruto and Sakura's eyes were still red. She sat down for a feast lasting for over and hour. After all of that food they were stuffed although oddly enough Kakashi ate the most.
