The fourth time she was hurt was from Sasori once again. It was 2 weeks until her 12th birthday and 3 weeks before the genin exams.
It was sunny and warm in Kohana, while a little pink haired girl sat in the grass of her families property. Her name was Sakura Haruno she was 11 years old. She had been having a feeling something bad was going to happen so she came out here to relax. Little did she know that was a big mistake.
She stared walking back to her home with the intent to help her mother cook dinner. It took a little longer than usual becuase she had pre-genin training just hours ago, her family couldn't heal her becuase no one in her family was a ninja, just her. She wanted to become strong to protect her family.
When she entered the streets to go to her home they were empty, which was fairly odd becuase usually there were children playing till sun down. Speaking of which it was only about 7 o'clock from where the sun was.
'I dont like the feeling of this kit' Sakura's inner stated. Sakura has always had an inner, it told her right from wrong. She never told anyone of it of cousre because people would think she was crazy, and she just would most likely be taken away from her family. Just like her brother...
'Me either Inner, what's going on? Why is it so quiet?' She thought back to Inner.
'Sorry to say but I really don't know kit' Inner caller her 'Kit' when she needed comforting.
Sakura was about 10 feet from her front door when she came out of her little space out sesion with Inner. She slowly approached. She sent a small net of her odd color chakra, but she felt her mother, father, and a blank. A spot where someone was hiding their chakra.
'I-Inner? I'm scared....'
'Do you want me to take over Kit?'
'N-No, but will you comfort me? Please?'
'Of course'
Sakura walked to the front door queitly...but what she saw would give her nightmares forever. Her father was on his knees choking, on his own blood from his slit throat. He then moved onto his hands and knees caughing trying to get the blood out of his lungs.
Her mother was hanging from her neck in a man's hand, she had 2 kunia in her stomach and was gasping for breath, after a moment she went limp.
Her father fell to the ground with a 'thunk'. The man dropped her mother on her stomach, and grabbed a kunai from his hollister and started carving words on her back. Sakura couldn't see the face but she could tell it was a man from his posture. She squinted and saw he was wearing a black cloak..... With red clouds.
Akatsuki.
Her blood ran cold, her brother had joined Akatsuki, Sasori, he was born in Kohana but as he became 12 or 13 is chakra was much too large for just a kid he was sent out to Suna, Village Hidden in the Sand, when Sakura was only 8 so she only had a few memories of him.
When he was done writing on mother he stabbed her in the crown of the skull, much to Sakura's disbelief. He stood and slowly walked to Sakura, and he kneeled in front of her so he was about eye level. She could now see his face clearly. He kissed her forehead, then in a swirl of sand, disappeared.
She was frozen. 'I-Inner'
'I'm so, so sorry Kit'
Sakura collapsed to her knees with tears spilling over her cheeks, she place her forearms, on the ground in front of her knees. And put her face in her hands she was crying like there's no tomorrow because to her... There wasn't. After crying and crying and crying for several minutes she slowly stood up and wiped the moisture from her face, and walked over to her mother's dead body. She looked at the carving and read:
