As they reappeared in the hallway, they found Inner Sakura standing by the statue. From her place by the door and statue, she could see the changes in her friends. The way their steps seemed heavy and slow with hesitation.

"How many more, Inner?" Kiba asked.

She shot them a sympathetic look before gesturing to the large one.

"I'm sorry but I forced you to see the worst of my memories so that you wouldn't have to go through the smaller but still painful ones."

"So you're saying we've unlocked the big one?" Naruto asked.

Inner nodded.

"This will be one of the hardest things you will ever have to face. Every thought, every feeling, every touch will be yours to bare but at the end of it all, you will find Outer. Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded and every grabbed onto one of the two door handles. They pulled it open and the darkness passed over the hall of memories.

There was nothing but darkness. Even Ino's mental sense was left ineffective.

"Guys?" Ino called, her voice echoing as if she were in a large cave.

"Ino?" Naruto's voice called back.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata's voice echoed behind her somewhere.

"Hinata-chan, where are you!?"

There was a scream that didn't echo like their voices.

"Sakura!" Came the deep voice of the Uchiha patriarch.

"Where did it come from!? I can't see anything!" Kiba growled.

Suddenly, hands were gripping at them, pulling them deeper into the abyss.

"What's happening!?" Temari exclaimed.

Pain shot through their backs as if a whip came down upon them. No, not them. Sakura's. While Inner's memories spared them the pain, Outer Sakura's did not. The pain continued to strike their backs as a fuzzy noise poked at their ears before it seemed to focus.

"Tell me, Sakura-chan. Tell me their secrets..."

Please make this stop!

The voice spoke around them.

"No one is here to save you now, Sakura. Why do you continue to protect them? Tell me how to take down Naruto and Sasuke!"

"Go fuck yourself!"

The whip was brought down again, harder than the other lashes and the girls cried out in pain.

Through the confusion a glowing orb floated down, illuminating them all. It was Inner. With her light, the pain of Sakura's memories faded to a dull ache.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked.

The darkness around them tried to fade to light but kept flickering as if someone was trying to keep it dark.

"Are you doing this?"

Inner said nothing, just glowed a little brighter.

Sasuke's eyes managed to make out Kuromaru's face before flickering out of focus.

"Now, dear girl, you're going to be a good girl and prepare me for your cunt, yes?"

"Oh, fuck no!" Temari screamed.

Kami, please no! Sakura's voice yelled. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

There was a slight pain in their jaws before it nullified to nothing.

"Do you like that, Sakura-chan? Does my dick taste nice?"

"You fucking ASSHOLE!" Sasuke screamed into the darkness.

Sakura's cries filled their ears as Kuromaru moaned. Every now and then they caught sight of Sakura and Kuromaru but never long enough to make out the image even though they knew what was happening.

I'm so sorry, Sasuke-kun! I'm so sorry! Forgive me, please. Kami, forgive me!

"Sakura, stop!" Sasuke called. "There's nothing to forgive you for! Sakura? Sakura!"

"Please, no more! Please!" Sakura cried.

"Sakura," Ino sobbed, shaking as her heart ached for her best friend. "Make it stop! Please! Leave her alone!"

"Oh, you don't want more?"

"No!"

"You know what I want, Sakura. How do I take down Naruto and Sasuke?"

The image flickered, showing Sakura chained naked on the ground and shaking her head vigorously with puffy eyes and red cheeks.

Don't give in! Don't give in!

"Nothing again?"

Kuromaru slid down her body, his erection trailing down her body.

"Let's see if this changes your mind."

Inner's orb glowed almost blindingly, vibrating violently as all sense of touch was numbed to the others but they were forced to watch as Kuromaru raped Sakura before their eyes. Utter shame and revulsion washed over them, keeling them over and leaving them at a loss. Ino sobbed for her best friend while Sasuke and Naruto practically screamed bloody murder.

"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed. "Naruto! Anybody please!"

"Sakura, I'm here!" Sasuke called, reaching for the image of his wife.

Kami, please kill me! Let me die- I want to die! I'm sorry! Kami, I'm so sorry!

"Sakura-chan!"

"SAKURA!"

Sakura cries for her friends faded as Inner forced everyone blind and numb to it but the damage had been done and that was only one of many left. Inner's light dulled, almost fading but floating by them weakly, leaving the darkness and memory to overcome them.

Sakura lay in the middle of her cell, bloody, beaten and used. Her eyes were dull as she stared up at the roof of her cage.

Don't give in...

Tears welled in her eyes.

I hope Karin and the boys are okay...

Softly, Sakura began to whisper her lullaby to herself. Everyone felt the longing and loneliness she felt. The shame and self-hatred wasn't too far off either.

The sound of the metal door opening brought her to an abrupt stop and she bit her lip to keep from whimpering. Fear became the strongest emotion felt but as she was confronted by a few men, she put up a brave face. Her friends knew better. They could feel the panic and terror gripping her heart. Several men came onto view.

This time as the group of men violated her, the lullaby continued inwardly, wavering every so often. The memories continued and by the time they came to the end, no one was quite in the right mind and Inner had faded away, too weak to be of any more help. She did her best to shield them from the worst of it, but in the end, she couldn't keep it up.

"I don't know how much more I can take," Hinata whispered in the darkness.

The girls all nodded their heads in agreement. Ino was starting to feel different. Her body was growing weak from the jutsu and the others felt the connection beginning to fade.

"You can't leave yet," Inner's voice echoed. "If you go now, this was all for nothing!"

"I'm trying, Inner," Ino spoke. "But my chakra is almost empty."

In the distance, a pink light began to shine.

"What's that?" Temari asked.

"I don't know but it looks like it's coming this way," Naruto stated.

Indeed the tiny pink orb floated towards them slowly, almost hesitantly.

"Outer!"

Inner appeared dimly, weak but standing by all the rest. Hearing the call, the orb picked up speed towards them.

"That's Sakura?" Sasuke asked.

"We made it," Inner spoke. "Everyone, get ready! You're about to be thrown back into your bodies!"

Everyone braced themselves as the orb shot forward. Just as Inner reached the orb, the black room went up in light.

Everyone was tossed back almost violently as if a shockwave hit them.

"Is everyone okay?" Ino asked.

"Sakura?" Sasuke called, moving to her side instantly.

Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around weakly. Sasuke turned her head towards him.

"S-Sasuke-"

"Do you remember, Sakura?" Sasuke asked. "Do you remember who you are?"

Sakura shook her head as Sasuke helped her to her feet.

"N-No," she murmured softly. "I don't understand. D-Did it not work?"

Everyone's hope plummeted. It hadn't worked.

"I don't understand," Ino spoke up. "Inner told us we did it. What went wrong?" She asked.

"Maybe Sakura-chan just needs to rest," Naruto spoke. "I think we all need to-"

Thunk.

Everyone turned to see Sakura had dropped to her knees. Her head was tilted back, eyes wide and mouth opened in terror.

"Saku-"

Sasuke was cut off when Sakura released an earsplitting scream.

Sorry this took so long everyone.

I've been really busy lately. You have no idea.

What did you think?

I've been stuck on this chapter for so long and my laptop is still shitty.

Also, if you hadn't noticed, it might say I uploaded two chapters but it was just because I forgot to upload an earlier chapter. Chapter 37 to be exact. Im so sorry!
