Chapter Nineteen:
Sasuke and Sakura were within the same ambulances together, Sakura kept on looking at him. He was shot for her sake. He saved her but with what kind of person was she? He saved her life as she was hopefully going to make that up to him.
Hours later, Sakura was bandaged up again as she waited about Sasuke condition was she stood up when she soon saw doctor. Soon they friends were up and looking at the doctor too.
"Are you family or friends to Uchiha Sasuke?" the doctor walked out, checking the papers in his hand.
"His friends, his parents are on holidays and his older brother isn't here yet," Shikamaru glanced at the doctor with a bored expression, standing up suddenly with worry. "Why, what's the problem?"
The doctor nodded at them and detailed," When Mr. Uchiha came into the hospital; he went into a coma, as we did closed and stitched the bullet wound. He lost lots of blood, we found out that he is AB- and we have no more of that blood. We need to have a donator to get him to stay alive."
Sakura stood up immediately. "I'm AB-, I can be his donor."
The doctor nodded his head and got Sakura to follow him. "Temari, please."
Temari nodded her head at Sakura as she want she wanted her to do. Once Sakura saw Temari head nodding at her, she turned and walked into Sasuke's room was the doctor was getting a second bed within this room.
She was given a hospital gown as she strip out of her stolen clothes as she placed them into the garage. When she lay down and was ready to give blood. Sakura looked at Sasuke to see his skin pale like a ghost. Soon that would be gone and his normal colour would come back. The nurse cleaned her arm as she pushed the needle gently into her arm's veil as she tap the tube to her skin. Her blood slowly went into the tube and all the way into the machine to thin it as the blood went into the second tube and into Sasuke. Twenty minutes later, Sakura took a break from giving blood until she was feeling fine to do so more. She stayed into her bed when the door banged opened and in came two adults with blank hair. The genders were different one was a female and the other was a male.
Sakura assumed that these were Sasuke's parents. The female had soft lines with worry as the male had a stoic look with concern and worry within them. Sakura looked at them for little while until they looked at her.
"How are you?" The young woman sat next to him with a gentle smile. "I heard what happened. I didn't know Sasuke would get involved this badly."
Sakura weakly smiled at them and wondered what she should tell them, but her mind won and her mouth opened up and told the truth. "I'm Sakura; I'm your son's blood donator."
The women nodded her head at Sakura when tear came down her face. "They told us it was the whites that hurt him."
"It was them," Sakura hung her head truthfully. "And they are gone too, I killed most of them.'
"How do you know?" the older man asked while he frowned as he folded his arms.
"Because I was here, your son saved me by pushing me out of the way to the bullet," Sakura averted her eyes from them. "They kidnapped me and some others and I fought back."
The woman gasped all of a sudden before gazing at her softly. "You must be the one he wants to befriend, Haruno Sakura."
"Hai, which would be me" Sakura blinked several times, staring incredulously. "But I don't understand that your son wants me to be his friend?"
"I think he wanted to protect you. From I can see. You look tired of fighting and your smiles aren't genuine... I guess it has something to do with gangs," Sasuke's mother smiled bitterly, remembering seeing her son in the hospital ward.
Sakura stared at her in astonishment. How did she figure that out?
"I can see that, as I was within that kind of problem. You don't need to tell me what your past or present is like," the mother gently pat her shoulder as nurse came in again and started up the machine, letting more blood flow into Sasuke.
Hours later, Sasuke's parents where gone as they were needed in Europe to make a business deal as they were replaced by his older brother Itachi. Sakura had fallen asleep when he came as she gave blood after forty minutes wait. This went onto and into the night as the doctor came into the room as he looked around and told Sakura was done with giving blood. She was allowed to leave the hospital with Tsunade as she made her way towards the car. Sakura looked at Tsunade as she slowly made up her mind; she needed to get her own car and house. She needed that independence again. She then went back to college and work. Sakura then got a second part time job as she was a waitress near the Tsunade's house.
More days and weeks went by as it was slowly coming into the second month. Sakura made sure three times a week even if it was after hours, she made sure she went into the hospital and either looked in and onto Sasuke. Sakura even asked if the nurses could call her when he wakes up.
Sakura called the rest and she wanted to tell them her story, after all they wanted to know as Natari and Samiko told theirs to them. They might at Tsunade's house on a weekend as Sakura not at work until four thirty. The time was only ten in the morning the twins were sleeping still and Tsunade was out of town again.
She deeply inhaled before beginning her story." It was getting dark, when I was going home. It was early evenings of winter. I cursed myself for offering to be a tutor after school in winter but I knew it would look good on my collage applications. So I continued to help others with homework."
Sakura bit her lower lip anxiously. "It was when I was walking home. I suddenly heard someone following me but what I didn't know who nor did I get to see any shadows..."
Flashback
Sakura began walking home, sighing tiredly. Her eyes nearly drooped but she continued trudging her way home until the leaves suddenly rustled behind her. She immediately turned out, glancing all over the place.
But no one stood behind her except the darkened trees.
Shivering as the cold wind licked against her skin, Sakura cautiously walked on while looking around her. The trees continued to sway a little as the street lights dimly lit up the streets with flickers. The pink haired girl inhaled deeply as to relax her pounding heart but she couldn't help but know that there was someone there. It could have been anybody, she repeated mentally to herself. An old man, anything...
"It's probably just a man making his way home," Sakura bit her lower lip while continuing to make her way home.
While Sakura continued walking, she suddenly noticed her footsteps increasingly get louder. She stopped and so did the other set of footsteps, prompting her to suddenly swivel around. Her emerald eyes widened when she found a male her age standing in front of her. His pale skin lit up under the flickering light as his empty black eyes stared back at her.
"Y-Yes, can I help you," Sakura finally managed to gather her wits...
Sakura stopped with a sighed about reliving this story again. She already told it to many times already. She looked at the others and noticed they was glaring at the floor. Sakura's eyes darted as she started again with her story.
Sakura eyes darted back and forth to her sides and the man in front after she asked her question. She suddenly felt someone else grabbing her hard and holding onto her. She struggled away from him.
"Is she the one," the big man glanced at Sai only to have a slow grin appear on the smaller male's face.
The one for what, Sakura thought within her mind as she saw the man named Sai staring at her.
"You have to be kidding me"
The look in his eyes prompted her to break into a wild sprint only to be stopped by the other companion of pale skinned younger man. Sakura saw Sai walking towards them as the male behind her was trying to get her into the car. Sakura literally kicked and struggled and even landed a blow against Sai's cheek and managed to head butt the man, causing both to keel on the ground.
Finally free, Sakura immediately darted away from them and ignored the blurry vision while continuing to let her instincts guide her out of the mess. The tires screeched loudly as she noticed her shadow become bigger and bigger. The night grew colder as her eyes widened.
"I remember getting closer to my house but what am I compared to a machine?"
Sakura silently cursed her luck as she increased her sprint. It was only a block away; her chest nearly exploded with happiness until she decided to look back. Seeing nothing, the pink haired girl slowed down her pace until arms wrapped around her from the front. Sakura looked forward and had seen Sai again holding onto her tightly. Her body shivered fearfully with beads of sweat trickling down her temple. This was it.
"I struggled but soon stopped when I heard his voice again. Even to this day I get shivers when I hear that voice. "
Sakura could tell they were; all of them had clearly blazed with revenge as Sakura blinked several times. The group immediately shook their head before dismissing her to go on. Sakura rolled her eyes with a dejected sigh; what did they have to get mad for? It was in the past.
"Go on," Neji waved his hand dismissively.
Sakura closed her eyes before inhaling deeply. "While in the car, they told me I was supposedly this guy's other half. It made no sense. It was all so dark and I could barely stop trembling..."
"I wanted to throw up and I still want to every time I think about it."
An hour passed supposedly to Sakura but in reality it was only thirty minutes. Sakura snapped her head to and fro and was looking outside the car seeing lights turning red were meaning something but instead of slowly down, the car just went faster.
Sakura didn't even see any police cars around to stop them. Her hope was slowly dwindled into nothing but a smoke of despair. However, the car suddenly began to slow down as she came upon this garage. Her eyes widened as the car sank into the dark garage only to have spotlights flash on them. Roughly, Sakura found herself yanked out of the car and thrown over like a sack of potatoes onto the shoulders by the other male with Sai.
"I learned his name was Kane but to be honest - it didn't really do much in my case..."
Kane started to walk with Sakura when Sai stopped him. Sakura groaned in agony as her head was actual starting to hurt more than before, maybe seeing the ground from up high wasn't helping or being swing when that gorilla man stopped Sakura heard Sai talking about this man named Sanjiro.
So that must be their leader.
The swinging resumed again as Sakura winced at the spinning vision. She resisted the urge to puke out her lunch or whatever was keeping her alive but remembered Sai's expressionless and empty eyes. He had caught her and just shoved her into the car without any question. Sakura shivered at the thought of getting onto his bad side.
"I found myself on a bed after that," Sakura glanced at the ground, biting her lower lip bitterly. "The bed was soft but I knew that there was going to be something worse. Thank goodness I didn't lose my things. My purse was always hidden in my shirt so that nobody can just sift me through anything."
"Don't look at me like that; I kept my purse on my chest since I was thirteen. It works out fine," Sakura snapped at them. "Now where was I?"
After that man or gorilla named Kane left me in Sai's room, without phones in my reach. I took out my cell phone from my purse as well as my purse.
Sakura dialled her home number, one ring, two rings went on forever when the third ring someone has answered. It was her mother. I remember telling her about the kidnapped part when my cell phone was forcefully taken away from me.
"After that, Sai had talked to my mother saying he was going to punish me. He broke me cell phone as he grabbed onto me. He threw Sakura onto the bed and went on top of me, he started to kiss me and touch places that I didn't want to be touched in."
Sakura had pleaded with him over and over again but he didn't stop until he looked up at her. He touched my face gently showing me he could be gently but he got up and the first words out of his mouth was to get dress and if she wasn't he would dress her himself. He walked out of his room locking the door; he went to get some food.
"It was a few weeks later, I met Natari and Samiko with a new girl named Tagami. We planned an escape; we became friends through this trouble time."
Until Natari showed up for training one morning with blackened eyes and dried blood on her bottom lip. She could barely move, and when forced to raise a knee to defend herself, she'd cried out in pain. It didn't take long for the others to understand. Natari had been raped and beaten. She'd tried to exert free will, forgetting that she was now the property of her captor. She was a reminder as to what fate awaited us if they all should they try to disobey. After that morning, all talk of escape ceased.
Sakura took a breath and looked at some of them had moved from their spot to the window others were still in their chairs. She could see from the looks or the firm tightness from some of their back that they weren't in a happy mood with her story. Heck she wasn't, she wanted to never tell that story again, but she felt that she had too. So the group could understand what had happened to her.
"After one more week, I had been captured for around three to four months. I arrived early to practice, when I saw Tagami talking to no one."
Sakura had walked over to her friend, biting her lower lip. "Are we really going to be alright?"
Tagami smiled weakly, nodding. "We'll be alright. Don't worry about it."
Sakura was getting increasingly anxious about their escape; sure she made sure that Sai didn't know about it. Soon the day had arrived, Sakura woke up in the middle of the night a few days later, and she had heard gun shots within the place. She took off and out of the room that was unlocked by Sai whenever he went.
"I remember running against the time, as I meet up with Natari, Samiko and Tagami who were also running. Soon we entered the courtyard as we saw an agent with a dark blue suit on as Tagami walked over to him with us following her."
The man gave her a gun and she asked the status for the situation. She told us to run when we heard gun shots, we ran towards the gates. Sakura fell behind them as her was exhausted.
That was when Sai grabbed her again. He was going to take me away again, when Tagami spoke to him. He had let Sakura go and then disappeared from sight. I got outside and took a breath in, I was safe and away from him.
I felt someone placing a blanket on me, as I was held towards the third ambulances, I had notice Samiko and Natari getting check over with their parents around them. I soon was gulf into a large hugged, I stilled but stop when I smelled my dad's smell as I relaxed into his arms.
My tears finally came down, as I let it all out. After that, we sold the house within a week or so and moved to a different part of the states, and into a new city named Atlanta. Apparently after I was saved, Sai and several members didn't get arrested after that I started to be depression and paranoid to the point that, I also stabbed my mother. After that Sakura went to take some counselor about it.
Sakura stopped to see Gaara in right of her as she felt his hand on her cheek taking off her tears that were there.
"Gaara," Sakura struggled to say.
"Sakura, please stop." Ino cried out as she was hugging a pillow for confront.
"No, you're need to hear this." Sakura easily said to them.
"It was eight months after I was freed from Sai and the gang, I coming back home from my counselor meeting, I didn't go back to school because of my grades were high and that my nightmares and my paranoid kept me from sleeping."
Sakura walked out of the city bus and walked up a block towards my home. That was when Sakura noticed the door was opened widen, she thought it was odd as she walked closer. Maybe her mother was in the back doing something and her father was watching TV, but that went out the window was soon as she step into the house.
There, sitting on the chairs were my parents tied up and gagged with tape. Sakura immediately ripped off the tape as my mother continued to tell her to run. That was Sakura heard HIS voice again. She turned and fell onto her knees, Fear froze her to the ground and had her completely horrified as Sai and Daiki walked in.
"I heard Sai trying to persuade me in coming with him, of course my mother yelled at him to stay away from me."
Sakura heard that Sai called out Daiki; he came out with a semi-automatic rifle and pointed it at her mother. Sakura remember her mother's voice telling her to get away when a loud gun shot came as she saw her mother slump down in her seat. Her father struggled away to get lose but didn't work.
I screamed in agony that I saw my mother got shot, when Sai grabbed my arm and preceded in dragging me up the stairs.
Sakura looked at them as she as she continued dragged in into Sakura's parent's room as he ripped off her clothes and with one thrust as he broke through her virginity.
"I remember the pain and the agony he had me in. I struggled to breathe as the pain was great. After it I laid there staring at the ceiling wishing that this never had happened to me."
Sakura heard Sai, talking to her but nothing was coming to her unntil she heard sirens coming their way. She never had relief about her new neighbours and how nosy they were. She saw Sai telling her not to run. Sakura bit her lower lip while inhaling deeply, trying push herself to move. A few seconds to minute had past as Sakura got up and walked with a pain down the stairs only to see her mother and father dead in the chairs that held them.
"I heard my name being called as I looked to see Tagami. She saved me again and I cried into her lap."
After that Sakura had awoken up in the hospital, she remembered the pain of losing my parents and my virginity to that Sai. Tears immediately spilled out of her eyes as Tagami embraced her while rubbing her back smoothly. The pink haired girl shivered and trembled violently while throwing her head back and crying into the air. Soon Sakura found out that she was pregnant, Tagami stayed with her and taught her new moves and weapons holding.
"Clearly months later, I was having twins, and I had the most difficult time with it. Not only that I was rape and got pregnant from it. I was having twins on top of last month into my pregnancy, I named Tagami god mother to the twins even when I wasn't sure if I was going to keep them or not, a week later I went into labour, Tagami was with me the whole time holding my hand and encouraging me into pushing."
Sakura didn't know if she wanted to keep the twins until it was after that the nurse had brought them to her and placed them into her arms. Regardless of whether or not these twins belonged to Sai, Sakura couldn't help but fall in love with them immediately. She melted completely at the sight as Tagami helped her settle the twins in. As night passed by, Sakura soon heard screams and yells while the door was closed. Tagami had locked in the twins with me.
"It was minutes after I didn't hear anything from the outside of the room," Sakura cast her eyes to the ground, biting her lower lip.
Sakura placed the twins onto the bed and walked over to the door as I opened it and looked out, I could see no one within my vision. Sakura immediately clamped her hand over her mouth when she found Tagami bleeding on the ground. She was killed by Kanpeki goons, while Sakura got away unscratched but also scarred by mistrust.
"After that I had moved to LA to stay safe," Sakura sighed deeply, trying to maintain her composure. "I managed to find everything I needed there. I lived happily for four years until Sai found me again. After that encounter, I moved here and after this I realized I will never be safe from Sai until he is dead or in jail."
Sakura finished her tale of her life, she looked at each person within the room. Each had an expression of sad, mad or just every emotions.
Naruto averted his gaze away with his blue eyes reflecting his crestfallen expression. "That was just almost like Natari and Samiko's."
"Hai, Naruto. They do but as you know I wasn't found twice by Sai," Sakura bit her lower lip anxiously. "The first time was the gang's goons and the second time was Sai, himself. He was the one that found me and tried to get me again. He didn't have time to rape me that time."
"So what are you doing now?" Neji folded his arms questioningly. "Do you at least have a plan?"
"I'll going to end this, once and for all," Sakura balled her hands into fists until her knuckles turned white. "I'm not going to run and hide anymore. I'm going to kill Sai and Kanpeki and what they did to my parents and myself and countless of females before me. And hai, I know for many years about twenty girls go missing and are never found. "
"I'm in." Natari smirked darkly, cracking her knuckles. "I don't want to be on the run either."
"Me either." Samiko nodded firmly at her friends.
The reds members looked at Neji as he was second charged of the gang if Sasuke wasn't there.
Neji looked at them and nodded his head." I understand and I do believe we can help you."
"But…"
"No Sakura," Ino stated as she shakes her head then she inhaling deeply. "Sasuke push you out of the way as he cares for you."
Ino got up and went onto her bag at the door. She pulled out a black book as she walked over to Sakura and gave the book to her.
Sakura looked at the black book and then to Ino as she sat down. She then looked at the book again and read" Sasuke's journal'
"Sasuke gave that to me to give to you," Ino shrugged lightly, leaning intently in front of Sakura. "That has many thoughts about you, you should read it."
Sakura raised her eyebrow. "Now or later?"
"Whenever you can," Ino smiled before waving her hand back.
"We should get going back home as we need to get information about Sai and if he is coming back." Neji glanced at Ino who got up to go along with him.
"You better keep us informed too." Natari glanced at Neji as the Hyuuga teen nodded in response.
Neji nodded his head and got up as the rest did too. They waved by as they left the house. Samiko and Natari stayed over as the girls did their college work. The hours before the part time job had called. Sakura answered it was it was closed down for good by a health problem. Her check would be mailed to her.
Sakura sighed at this as she looked at the girls. She still had plenty of money left from her parents' house and retirement fund. She also had plenty too as she saved. Sakura told the girls what she wanted to do and they support her decide.
Soon night came and Natari and Samiko went home as the twins eat and had a bath and went to bed also. Sakura stayed up and looked at houses. She would be looking at them soon. She slowly found six within Tsunade house and four in a different area. She would need to look at them all.
She emailed the person to connect about the houses and made appointments to go and look. She made four tomorrow and the rest on the next weekend. Then Sakura turn off the lights and went to bed.
Sakura click on her light again and opened Sasuke's journal.
Today, a new girl came into the college. She had pink hair and green eyes. She was beautiful. But what caught me the most was her eyes and the way she smiled. It look like a fake and tired smile, like she was tired of everything. It made my heart think to protect her. My thoughts went into why I should protect her. During this day and until lunch, I saw her with Samiko and Natari; two other new girls that came about seven months ago.
No one never talk or sat with them. I wondered what Sakura story was as I saw the man whore going up to her. The whole lunch room was in shock as she told him basically to fuck off when he did it again. She glared at him and then said something and walked away. I was curious about this woman now.
I followed her to her locker and she turned and glared at me too. She told me to fuck off and leave her alone. The next day, I heard that she scared Akito off with a few punches and a knife cut. That was when I needed to see how she fought. I threw the first punch as she dodge and then told me to leave her alone again. I didn't listen, she broke my arm in two places, but I still wanted to learn about her.
Sakura stop reading it as it sound to her like confession of love about her. Sasuke Uchiha was confusing her more and more lately. After that she turned off her light and fell into a deep sleep.
…..Kanpeki…
Sai had finished all his missions and was making Sakura wait, as he got off the airplane as he needed to clean his weapons and clothes. Soon she would be his again.
A/N- I hope you like this chapter. Until next time, bye for now.
