Broken Petals {Sakura Haruno}

Train Harder Until I die

The glowing rays of the sun filtered through the small window that led into a grey, ashen grey room, the wardrobe was black, no picture frames nor any decorations.
Sakura blinked as she felt the warm rays on her face, it was the day to be put into teams and she really wasn't feeling up for it, yet she had an obligation to Itachi Uchiha.
'Please..... Look after my Brother' His words echoed her mind as she got up, walking to the clean bathroom she stepped into the shower. Her pale pink hair sticking to her back as she rubbed Shampoo and conditioner in.
Sighing as she washed and rinsed herself she took a towel and dried herself off.

Looking in the mirror, she saw a small girl with long pale hair, ivory skin and dulling green eyes. No spark could ever gleam in her dead eyes yet why did she still get up and walk? Because she was determined to prove to everyone! She WAS not some simple child. She was not some weak girl.

And with that mindset she left the bathroom to go train by the lake, her training gear strapped on as she grabbed her weapon holster, tying it tightly around her leg.
Walking out of the dull apartment, she ran towards the viridian green forest's that seemed to call for her, soft whisperings were heard throughout the hazy mist as she dropped her bag.

Sakura cracked her knuckles as she channeled her chakra to enhance her muscles, getting on the floor on all fours she started her daily workout.
"Start with one by one and I'll get there!" She growled as she started her own harsh torture. Pushing up and down she was trying to reach her goal of five hundred push up's.

Next she rolled onto her back and started her sit ups, sweat already started to drench her clothing, sticking to the nape of her neck as she growled to push herself harder.
Hours passed as she trained herself till exhaustion, her body was trembling as she felt the searing pain run through her body. The sun was high above her as she stopped her intense training regime, standing up she dusted herself off as she saw how grim she looked.

Bruises had formed on her skin as she had hit herself a couple of times, her skin was covered in sweat and dirt, her hair was a tangled mess. Sighing Sakura grabbed her stuff as she trudged home, ignoring the pitying glances from other people. she could always feel them, they dug into her skin as they always seemed to be saying.

"Poor girl, her mother wishes...'

"Stay away from her..."

"I heard she murdered him.."

"Is she a...."

"Monster..."

"Demon.."

"Murderer..."

Some of the insults did affect her, clenching  her fist she had a blank face as she walked straight home, her tangled messy hair swayed behind her as she marched her slim little body back to her home.

Opening the door she was met with the grey interior, her eyes dulled a bit as she closed and locked the front door. Stretching in the foyer she walked to her small room, grabbing her clean clothing as she walked to her bathroom, starting up he warm water.
As she undressed she was pulled back to the time her father would help her bathe, when she was little she adored him more than anyone in the world. It only goes to show that not everything last forever.

Stepping into the warm water she leaned against the wall as she closed her eyes, the water was a smooth, warm river that swirled around her. Relaxing her muscles as well as washing the sins she seemed to always have on her mind.

Oh stop being a baby, Sakura you are weak, you will never progress by being this weak. Her dark inner voice broke her out of her peaceful trance. Glaring at the wall she clenched her fist as she sighed, she knew already that her Inner voice was right. Every. Single. Time.
