Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of its' characters... If I did, then why would I be writting this?

Complete Summary: 'It all started the 21th of March, a week before my birthday...' Sakura is forced to start writting a diary due to the present events of her life, and somehow all that is happening revolves around an extrange pendant she is given. Will she be able to achiever her goals through it? Or will she fail and get lost in its' world?

Well, first off... Hello. This fanfic is in Sakura's POV, in the form of diary specifically. I hadn't planned to make the fanfic as a dary, but the idea just popped in my head, and I couldn't resist it. This is only an introduction, and it isn't necessary to read it. It doesn't tell you anything but that it's written in the form of diary, and the name she's given to the diary. It wouldn't have made much sense if I had just put 'Dear Whatever-your-name-is' in the first chapter, so I wrote this prologue, which is, as I said before, an introduction.

This takes part in Naruto Shippuden, after 2 years and a half have passed from the first part of Naruto (I put the time that has passed for those who don't watch Shippuden). The mission in Sunagakure has already happened, so they're Team Kakashi. The rest, which I'm sure you won't recognize, belongs to ME!

To resume it in a few words, this is based on the Butterfly Effect (not the movie, the phrase), but only in very few things. Well, you'll find out when you read! -grins wickedly-

I hope you like it!

Prologue

Dear diary,

My name is Haruno Sakura, and I'm 15 years old. You might think that I'm too old to write on a diary, but I don't care. I think that the things that are happening to me recently are worth writing, and I'm afraid that all of this is a dream that I will one day wake up from.

All of this... it seems as though I'm in a fairy tale, as if each day I'm living right now is only something to entertain some unknown children. And I don't like that feeling. That's part of why I have started writing a diary.

This whole story started the 21th of March, a week before my birthday. And I still don't know when it will end. It all started with a pendant... Wait, this is going too fast. I don't even have a name for you! I can't keep calling you 'diary', like you are nothing special (which you aren't). You know, what? I'll name you Ami. It suits you... Do you even know what it means? Of course not, you're a diary... Ami means friend (and several other things), and that is what you are now to me, are you not? You are the only thing that seems real to me right now...

I don't know if someone will ever read this, but I warn you... This isn't a fairy tale, despite what I said before. This doesn't have a 'happily ever after'. So now that you are warned, you can keep reading if you want, under your own responsibility. Let me continue where I took off...

It all started the 21th of March, a week before my birthday...

Well, I guess the least I can say is 'thank you for reading', so... THANK YOU FOR READING!

And please, review! -puts puppy dog face- -reader's don't seem affected- Pretty PRETTY please? -grabs little Akamaru and puts it near the reader's face- -reader's review- I KNEW that would work! -high fives Kiba who just randomly appeared-

Ja, ne!
