Author's note: None of the Akatsuki members died. Even though it still follows the manga's plot, but none of the members died. Sasuke thought he'd kill Itachi but he did not.

Part One

Prologue

You will always be the darkness.

While I'll always be the light.

Far in the light, I can see it

In every scene of the night

A tiny feather of love.

Our meeting was so sudden and unexpected.

It was also rough and amazingly painful… for me anyways.

I gotta go

Destiny never finds the way for me, my love.

I know I needed you.

I know I can't bear to be away from you. And I know you know what I thought I knew.

Even in the light I see your face, in the dark

So I never lose my way to you

I never close my heart

The light is always there.

It's hard for me every time we had to part, and I somehow hoped you felt the same way.

But what can I do? I was just your little pet, was I not?

Time goes by, we can never stay the same

Now we've come so far from love memory

Though your smile has gone, we will never be apart

In our hearts we are one, for love melody

The future arrives… with your love.

All I can do now is to pray for your safety.

And wait until you'll come back to me.

The way you always have…

Hello, my name is Sakura Haruno. I am but fifteen years old. Today, my village was destroyed by a terrible group known as the Akatsuki.

The Hokage, a woman I'd love to call "mother", was killed because she ran out of chakra, our energy source. She was attacked while she was weak and I was unable to safe her; both of my hands were full with little children crying for their parents. I saw her head chopped off from her body. I heard the thump when her head hit the ground. And I saw her killer, a man named Deidara… the one that kidnapped the Kazekage of the Sand Country, Gaara.

My best-girl-friend, a girl I'd love to spend my time with, cry with, and fight with was killed by a woman with blue hair. I was unable to save her the way she saved me when we were small. I was there and I saw the death of my best-friend. I saw her terrified expression when the paper covered her body. And I heard the splotch when she was squished easily, just like squeezing a tomato I'd bet.

My best-boy-friend, a boy I used to despise, a boy I'd love to cry with, fight with, talk to, kissed, and hugged was killed by seven people at once. His demon fox… seemed to not be working, even though Naruto did come just in time to safe some people. But seven against one were too much. Again, I was there, with no children in my hands, they all ran away and had been killed. They were too fast and even though I jumped in front of Naruto for hundreds of times with all of my strength just to protect Naruto from getting harmed, it was not enough. In the end, Naruto was still killed. And he smiled at me. A smile I'd die for to forget, a smile so horribly warm that I'd kill myself just to get away from the guilt and misery. A smile that was ended by a loud boom.

And yet, here I was, alive.

I had no idea how much tear I'd shed. How much sweat I'd sweat and how much blood I'd poured.

In the middle of the chaos, I could only think of a few things.

My hometown was destroyed.

I was an orphan.

I got no place to go.

Everyone I loved was now dead.

And…

I was, of all people, through hard luck, through terrible luck, was alive.
