If I could want one thing in life, it would be to have a family that loves me and cares for me. That's the reason why I ran away. No one knows where I am right now. I don't know either. Suna was horrible as it was. I'm in a town called Konohagakure. I've never been here before.

I stand up and see lots around me. Mostly kids. I look at them and smile. Of course its fake. Most smile back at me. With their eyes as well.

"Can you tell us a story, please? My Mommy used to be the storyteller but she left to heaven," asked a little girl with a saddened smile. "Of course," I say.

We found a hall and sat on the carpeted floors.

"I never told a story like this before," I say. "Don't worry, Sakura," said a boy. "How'd you know my name?" I ask. The little boy shrugged.

"There was this girl. A little girl who had the life that she wished for. Nothing could be better. But that's until she turned 14. That's when everything changed."

"Sakura! Get up! Get up right now!" yelled a 46 year old lady named Mebuki. "Mom? Did Dad make another crack in the wall? You seem quite angry," asked a sleepy Sakura Haruno.

"No, now just get the heck out of bed!" Mebuki yelled again. Sakura did as she was told and got ready for the day. Her mother ordered her around. She gave Sakura chores, which normally never happens.

Sakura had to sweep and mop the floors, polish the bathroom, polish the kitchen, do the laundry, wash the dishes, clean the shoes and make lunch which would be dinner considering all that work. Once she finished the cleaning she had to clean herself up to make the dinner. "Make dessert as well!" Mebuki yelled angrily.

Sakura came out of the bathroom and started making cottage pie. She made the vegetables and mince. She added the dough and put the pie in the oven. She started making jelly and custard for dessert.

While Sakura was doing the chores, Mebuki checked the house to see any spots missed. Only two were missed. In the closet there were two pairs of uncleaned shoes.

"SAKURA!" she yelled. Sakura dashed to the closet. "Yes mother?" she asked sweetly. Her mother pointed at the two pairs of shoes that were uncleaned. "What's the meaning of this?" Mebuki asked with a frown. "I apologise, mother. I'll get that cleaned right away," Sakura promised.

She grabbed the supplies and cleaned the two pairs of shoes. She wiped her forehead and put the supplies back in their place and went to clean up. Again.

"S-so she continued w-w-with the f-food," told Sakura, a few tears streaming down her face. "Saku-chan, are you okay?" asked the little girl. SAKURA wiped her tears and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm all good."
