Notes: This story is a "crossover" type story between Naruto and Silent Hill. I have NOT played the Silent Hill games - I've only watch the movie. I got inspired to write this after listening to some tracks from the game and movie. I also watched some game play and cut scenes of various games - I am NO way aligning this story strictly with the game because I HAVE NOT played it/them. This is mostly based off the movie I saw years ago...details are fuzzy. Also, there is some AU-ness with some Naruto characters (mainly Sasuke...) There will be TWO parts to this. I'll only post the second part once I'm 100 percent finished with it. I tend to drop stories when they are building up, mostly because I lose interest. This story (part 1) is completed and will be updated on a normal basis until finished.

Other stuff: I don't think I'll be finishing up my other stories...mostly due to loss of interest. Sorry...I'll more than likely delete them soon. Also, this is no beta'd so any mistakes I apologize for - I've tried to re-read over and fix things as many times as I can. The chapters will start off short and gradually get longer...for consecutive short chapters, I'll try to upload more than one at a time.

Last: This story is written from Sakura's first point of view. Considering the setting of this story it would be impossible for her to stay true to her character in Naruto but I've tried to keep as many details as to who she is as a person and thoughts.

Ch.1: Heir

"Oi Sakura get over here, I want you to meet someone!"

That was Tsunade's voice, I'd know it anywhere. I turned away from facing Sasuke who was standing beside me as we waited for Naruto to say goodbye to Hinata in the tea shop across from us. My eyebrow rose, it was odd enough that the Hokage would be out and about in the afternoon when she normally dedicates her time to her paperwork (also known as happy hour) but it was even stranger to see her walking beside my mother and an old woman.

"Are you going to at least meet us halfway or are you that much of a lazy brat?" the blonde yelled from down the road. She was not angry or annoyed – her tone was more playful yet demanding.

I rolled my eyes a bit and began to walk towards her. I noticed Sasuke follow behind me like a dog. He had been doing this lately, following me when he was left alone – he could have walked home, or waited where he was, or gone inside to meet with Naruto – he had so many options, but chose to follow me. It didn't bother me really, ever since he came back from his quest for revenge, he's been more sociable than he ever was before he left, it was sort of refreshing.

"Sakura, do you have a minute I'd like – what am I saying, of course you have a minute, I'm your Hokage, if you ignored me I'd beat you into next week!" she laughed with a hint of sarcasm.

I grinned, "Why did you want to see me?" then paused and turned to my mother and nodded, "Hi mom." My mother gave me a small wave in return, "Hello sweetheart, I haven't seen you all week."

I flickered my eyes to Sasuke, he stood beside me with a slightly uncomfortable look on his face – I would imagine he now regrets following me. "Uh mom, you remember Sasuke right?"

My mother smiled warmly at him and stretched out her hand to meet his, "Yes of course I remember Sasuke! He's that sweet little boy who used to steal the tomatoes from my garden."

I could see Sasuke stiffen and his cheeks take on a pink tone. Holding back my fit of laughter was the hardest thing I've had to do in a long time. With a grin I turned to him, "You stole tomatoes from my mom's garden Sasuke?"

He shifted uncomfortably, "I was a little kid and I didn't know it was stealing at the time."

"Uh huh…" I trailed off.

"Is your Hokage being ignored?" Tsunade growled in annoyance, "Because I believe she is."

"Sorry Tsunade-sama…"

The busty blonde huffed and turned to the elderly woman beside her and pushed her forward gently. I could see my mother's warm smile hesitate for a moment but return to her face as if nothing happened. The old woman was much shorter than me, mostly due to being hunched over. Her face was quite wrinkled but her complexion was near flawless, it was such a weird combination. She had the oddest colored eyes I'd ever seen; her iris itself was a silvery-white but melted into a deep crimson as it neared the pupil. Very strange.

"I'd like to introduce you to your grandmother, Haruno Kigraki."

I blinked. Really? I was being introduced to my grandmother in the middle of the street? A woman whom is supposed to play an important role in my life and I meet her in the street? It is now that I realize that life throws too many curve balls…because life will never (under any circumstances) make sense. I shake it off though, trying to keep a smile on my face without seeming too shocked. I glance at my mother who gives me an apologetic look – as though it would help.

"Oh…uh well, hello? I'm Sakura; I'm guessing since I never met you, you are my grandmother on my father's side?" I asked a bit disturbed. Why would the mother of my father come to see us? It's not like my father was alive and she didn't seem to care about visiting us when I was growing up.

The elderly woman nodded, "Yes, Seno was my son. I'm sorry for your loss. It must have been difficult to be raised without a father."

I blinked, confused once again. This woman was strange.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see Sasuke starring at me with a semi-annoyed expression on his face. I would assume that he is upset that I never mentioned anything about my father to the team.

"Yes…well I'm sorry for your loss as well, I'm sure he was a great man." I answered hesitantly.

Kigraki nodded knowingly, "Well I am sure that you are wondering what I am doing here. I'll get straight to it. The village what I originate from is known as Kamaji. It is a small but prosperous village at the edge of Demon country. You see, your grandfather was the head of that village and has recently passed. The village was supposed to be led by my son, your father – but unfortunately he can no longer do such a thing. You see, Kamaji has been led by the Haruno family for many generations and until we can determine which of your cousins it may go to, we must keep the village in the control of the Haruno's. I am the widow of the head of the village and it is my duty to oversee it until a new Haruno can take over, it is one of the privileges of being the wife of a Haruno. But because my son had a child, you are next of kin to take over the village; however, no Haruno woman may rise to lead the village. This is an ancient tradition that has held true for many years now. What I am asking is that you return with me to Kamaji to sign temporary ruling over to me. With this, the village will stay in the Haruno line until we can determine a new Haruno male for the role."

My mouth fell open a little bit. My long, lost grandmother has come to me for the first time in my life and only because she wants my signature to pass power over to her for a village I'm supposed to (if sexism wasn't an issue of course) run. My father was to be the leader of a village? Did he know this when my mother was pregnant with me? I would think something like this would come up once or twice in a conversation.

"I'm sorry but let me get this straight. I'm an heiress of a village and you came all the way from Demon country to not make me an heiress of a village?"

Kigraki's face was straight as she nodded.

I stood there for a moment, confused and shocked. With a glance at my mother who shrugged and a glance at Sasuke who seemed only the least bit interested, I turned my attention to the Hokage. "Is all this true Tsunade-sama?"

"Yes, every last word of it. We have records and documentation backing up her story. We also have scrolls about Kamaji that contain information about its location, laws, leaders, history and trading routes. Everything she says is true."

I sighed to myself. This Kamaji place was the legacy my father left behind for me. It could very well be the only thing he left behind for me. What if this was what he wanted for me? What if this was his way of telling me that he was sorry for leaving me and my mother. What if Kigraki showing up now was a sign that I was supposed to embrace my destiny?

I laughed out loud.

Who was I kidding? I didn't care about running a village. Give it over to the old lady before she throws a clot. "Alright sure, I'll come to sign the papers. Is this going to be a mission?" I turned to Tsunade.

She waved her hand uncaringly at me, "No, you have sick days, use them. Be back in a week."

I gaped as she began to walk away. Use up my sick days? That was not fair!
