Sakura's POV

Winter and Spring

"Good morning, Konoha!" said a sleepy pink-haired girl ruffling out of bed.

My name is Sakura Haruno. I'm a cheerful 15-year old. I'm an orphan living on my own in an apartment. 9 years ago, both my parents died in a fire, so I was raised by my foster mom, Hanako-san. She happily took me in and took care of me like I was her real daughter. I didn't want to burden her by staying there, so I promised her that I'd live on my own when I was able to take care of myself. Once I reached age 14, she helped me get a part-time job in a Kaibara High as an errand girl. She even helped find this apartment I live in now! I'm so grateful. I visit here whenever I can. But right now, I have to go shopping for groceries.

Sakura left her bed as she made her way to the bathroom and freshened up to go around the village streets. As soon as she was finished her time in the bathroom, she prepared her breakfast. She put one slice of bread in the toaster and waited. Once it popped up, Sakura grabbed the bread and spread butter on it. She put it in her mouth, grabbed her wallet, and rushed out the door. She roamed the village streets for anything necessary as she ate her lame excuse for a breakfast. Sakura went to a fruit stand and ordered some apples. As soon as she was about to leave she almost dropped her bag because of an adolescent ninja.

"SAKURA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!"

Sakura jumped by the sudden yell of her name and turned around to find the #1, hyperactive, knuckle-head ninja; Uzumaki Naruto.

"Don't yell my name like that!" she ordered walking up to the blond-haired teen, "You scared me! sigh Okay, what's up?"

"I came to you to ask a question, but don't mention it to anyone." He requested.

"Why can't you ask anyone else?" Sakura pondered.

"It's because . . . I feel most comfortable asking you." He replied.

"Okay," Said Sakura "What is it?"

Naruto scooted a little closer to Sakura's ear for the secret question.

"Why does Hinata blush so much when I'm around her?" he whispered

Bonk

Sakura bonked Naruto on the head causing him to fall on his butt. "Owww . . . Sakura-chan, what was that for?" he asked holding his head. "Baka Naruto" Sakura said to herself. "Why do you always bother me with stuff like that?"

"Well . . . It's nice to have company." He answered

"sigh Yes, but not when it's with the most unpredictable guy in the village." She whined.

Sakura arrived at her apartment when the sun started to set painting the village orange. (a/n She arrived late because she visited Ino and she stayed there for awhile. Her foster mom lives far, but still in the fire country) She took out all the things in her bags and placed them in either the fridge or the pantry. When she was done placing her groceries where they needed to be, Sakura headed for her bathroom. When she got there, she closed the door and started brushing her teeth. When she was done with her teeth, she got into her sleep-wear; her top had straps that were a little less than 2 fingers. At the front base of the straps were 2 strings you could tie into bows and across the shirt was a pink design of small hearts. Her bottom-wear was small, pink pants that ended at the ankles. It also has 2 strings on the front you could tie into a bow and at the bottom left of the pants was a big design of a heart. After she was completely finished in the bathroom, she got out, flopped on her bed, and turned on the TV to the news channel.

Sakura listened carefully when it mentioned strange sightings. Apparently, villagers have seen strange figures in the forest. Before Sakura could listen anymore she was interrupted by . . . giggling? Sakura jolted as she turned of the TV and looked around.

"That strange giggling . . . it sounds like it's from little kids."

She heard it again only this time, it was louder. She followed the sound outside her house and through the village. The more she wandered, the more sinister the giggling became. Sakura found herself turning around every building, trying to find out about the anonymous giggling. Bad idea. The giggling led her in the dirtier part of town; the part where no ones goes. She made a right turn only to stop dead in her tracks.

'What is it?'

At the other end of the street stood a shadowy figure; bellowing in the dark. Sakura fell to the ground and tried to crawl backwards as the figure got closer. As it came into the moonlight, Sakura's breath caught in her throat. It was a Half-Man, Half-Bull; A Minotaur. Its body was yellow and its eyes were filled with a killing intent. It had hair from the belly button all the way to the back. On the head were two big, sharp horns. It smelled like rotten meat and the only clothes it had on were tattered pants. It got closer to her until it was only a yard away from her. Sakura sat trembling before it. It started sniffing her until . . .

SLASH

It cried in pain as its hand fell to the floor in front of Sakura. It took a few steps back holding its right arm. A cold breeze froze Sakura's skin as it slowly made another figure in front of her. It revealed the one responsible for the wound due to the Minotaur. A man in black attire with the appearance of around her age stood before her. He wielded a spear with ice on the tip. His hair was glacial white that spiked up in the back and his eyes were crystalline blue.

My normal life froze.
My world met cold snow.
In the ice, cold night
I met the one with glacial hair and crystalline eyes
I met Him-
