"Kimimaro-kun what has you so distracted lately" Orochimaru looked to the surviving Kaguya as the teenager stared ahead of them into the Forest of Death, they were all getting ready to enact the second step of their plan to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village.

And of course curse mark Sasuke Uchiha for his Sharingan "Our targets female teammate, the girl, I find myself curious about her" Kimimaro turned, viridian orbs betraying his thoughts, he knew that he was the last but what if there was a way to ensure his clan lived on.

Orochimaru smirked "Sakura Haruno is her name, do you want her Kimimaro, as a reward for helping me thus far, once we enter this forest, there will be all the time in the world to do whatever you wish with her" the Snake Sannin offered.

"Perhaps I'll do that" the white haired teenager nodded in acceptance, just as a buzzer sounded the signal to enter the Forest of Death for the second round of the Chunin Exams, it's where all of Team Seven's troubles truly began.

For less than an hour after entering the forest for their survival round, a blast of wind separated the three teammates, Sakura found herself on her own "Ooh slamming into a tree hurts" Sakura shook her head dizzy but awake somehow.

Unaware that she was about to go through something horrific "Looks like he wasn't wrong you really are on your own" and then from the tree's stepped an older boy wearing a headband from the Hidden Sound Village just like the other ones.

"If your after my teams scroll forget it, besides I'm not the one who has it anyway" the young pinkette frowned reaching for her weapons pouch to grab a weapon, unfortunately for her the teenager across from her was fast.

He slammed into her just as her hand grasped the hilt of a kunai, sending them crashing to the ground "Such a shame but I haven't come for your scroll Sakura Haruno, I want you instead" the white haired teenager explained.

Grasping her wrists in one hand while the other reached for the thigh length shorts she wore, emerald orbs widened in fright and she began thrashing in his stronger hold "Nu-uh no way in hell buddy am I gonna let you touch me" Sakura grunted.

Struggling with all her might, she'd nearly broken free to when the teenager bent and crushed his lips to hers, allowing him to continue reaching for her shorts until he'd successfully removed them, it was there the real horror began.

~Meanwhile~

Having gone off on his own, Gaara paused when he heard an anguished scream sound from somewhere ahead of him, his siblings didn't really need him nor did he need them, with that thought in mind, simply curious he headed for the screams.

The scene he stumbled across was nothing short of what he expected to happen within the forest, yet somehow deep within his chest, something ached as one of Orochimaru's henchmen finished within side the girl and disappeared into the forest.

Leaving the girl there alone, he stepped forward and a branch snapped underfoot, causing her to flinch and let out another terrorized scream, Gaara didn't know what possessed him after that as he cautiously made his way to her side.

"A..Are you go..going to as well" she clearly thought he was there to do as the last person had but instead he reached into his pouch for a wipe and held it out to her along with her shorts that had been thrown off to the side.

Just a little surprised that the Sand Shinobi from the other day was helping her, Sakura took the wipe and tried to clean herself up as best she could "Why was he doing that to you" Gaara asked with a frown, forcing himself not to stare.

While she maneuvered herself into her shorts "I don't know, everything happened way to suddenly first a blast of wind separated me from my teammates and then he was here waiting for me, said that he wanted me but I'd never seen him before in my life" Sakura rambled.

Crying all the while as the events of the last hour or so caught up with her, she'd been raped and now she was alone with yet another male who could turn on her at a moments notice "Then I suppose we should go find your teammates no" the redhead inquired.

Bloodshot eyes eyed him warily "We're supposed to be enemies in here s..so why are you helping me" the rosette asked afraid of the answer, did he want something, perhaps their scroll, again she didn't have it, but she wasn't about to accept his help unless he had a good answer.

Green eyes focused on her "Because it feels right somehow" Gaara shrugged, confused and before the girl could object he had her in his arms, the sand mysteriously allowing him to touch her and after sensing out Sasuke Uchiha's chakra was headed in that direction.

This was the beginning of a long road for him as unaware of it as he was, but he knew helping this girl after that horrific event was right and mother said it was right as well, later on he would know that it was actually the beast sealed inside of him that had urged him to this kindness.
