Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Eyes ❯ Chapter Two ( Chapter 2 )

She woke up around midnight and looked around, everything slowly coming back. The tears started coming out. She got up slowly, and went to the shower. She couldn't look at or bury her parents right now; the memories were too vivid in her mind. She climbed up the stairs to the bathroom and turned the water on hot. She stripped off her clothes and got in. Even though it was scorching, she didn't notice. Her mind was still on what was downstairs. “ Have to get clean. Too much blood. Can't let anyone know. “ She started crying harder. Not over the death of her parents, or her rape, but rather the fact that she was too weak to stop the assassins. She scrubbed her skin raw, but she still wasn't clean. That bastard had taken away her innocence, in front of her dead parents. She stayed in there until the water went cold.

She went back downstairs and looked at her dead parents.

` I will not cry anymore, not for them, not for me ` Inner Sakura promised.

She went outside to her backyard and dug two deep holes. Then she grabbed her parent's sheets and wrapped them up in them, and put them in the holes. She covered them up after saying a prayer, and then made two grave markers from the wood of the sakura tree in their backyard. She went back inside and looked at the mess in the house.

“ Well, I might as well clean it. It's not like I have anything else to do. “ She reasoned with herself.

So she cleaned until sunrise,

When she stopped finally and looked around she still saw all the blood, but it was just in her mind. And she knew she'd have to come to terms with it. She knew there still might be some blood, but it wasn't even near as bad as it had been. Except for the smell, it smelt like blood and lemon mixed. She had to run to the bathroom a couple of times because it was so disgusting. So she knew while she was at training she'd open the windows and doors and let it air out.

She looked at her watch and saw that it was 6:30. She didn't need to meet the rest of Team 7 until 8, so she went for a walk.

Her hands were burned and raw from all the chemicals that she used, but she couldn't wrap them, or rather she wouldn't. She couldn't feel the pain of anything anymore.

She headed to her favorite spot under the sakura trees, but even that didn't help her concentration. So she walked around the forest until she found a spot, dark and secluded, and the time went by quickly. She soon realized that she was late for training. But instead of running, like she normally would, she walked. She figured it wasn't but a mile or two away.
