Pink Stitches
Chapter 1
Sakura isn't a regular kid she is a unique and special kid
My name is Sakura but a lot of the other kid call me pink stiches. Why pink stiches well im stitched almost everywhere on my body and my hair is pink and I have my dad's eyes too. Mom told me that my dad is a bad man and I shouldn't be a ninja because I will get hurt a lot.
But I really wanted to be something else's other than an unusual civilian. I had to beg mom to let me go to the academy, she gave in and let me enroll but said I had to have high scores in order to stay. I was super happy and gave mom a hug.
The villagers don't really like me, they always look mad at me or say mean things. Mom gets treated the same, sometime worst if people hear what dad did. You can say that our lives revolve around dad, when I first went to the academy nobody talked to me. The kids just stared and whispered when I was around them. the older girls would sometime corner me and beat me up.
I would train by myself, I trained so hard to the point that my fist bleed and I exhausted myself. Iruka sensei treats me like a normal kid which I rarely get to be at times. He tells me to relax but it's really hard to relax when everyone is against you.
One day at the academy we were told to find partners for a team task, nobody wanted to partner up with me so I ended up working with the blonde boy. The blonde boy told me that I scare him and that he didn't want to work with me, after he said that some of the bully girls laughed at me and I got mad. I yelled at them to leave me alone and punched one of the girls.
Needless to say I was sent home after that and mom lectured me about what I did. I tried defending myself by telling her what they say or do but mom slapped me and told me to get out of her house and don't come back.
I didn't want to leave; I didn't want to leave the only safe place I know. Mom went upstairs to my room and packed up some of my clothes and other things. She threw the bag at me and again told me to get out. I was on the floor crying asking her why she wanted me to leave but she never answered.
Mom went into the kitchen and grabbed the knife off the counter, she threatened me with it and said get out. I was shocked that she was threatening me and scared at the same time. Mom this time yelled at me and slashed my arm where my stiches were.
I grabbed my arm screaming in pain only to be cut multiple times. I was screaming for her to stop, I feel the sting of the knife, the sound of the knife piercing me every time. I grabbed moms hand to try to make her stop, mom looked me and started to cry and she dropped the knife. Mom wrapped her arms around me and apologized many time. The next day I saw that I was bandaged up and my stuff was not in my room.
When I got up to see if mom was in the house I heard something break. I rushed down stairs to see mom had killed herself. She had hanged herself and cut her wrist, all my stuff from my room was under her as if the rope didn't work than she wouldn't hurt herself as bad. The blood from her wrist were soaking my things.
I had to walk away from her body because I didn't know what to do, I walked to the dining room table and saw a letter. The hand writing was messy but readable
"To my dearest sakura,
im truly sorry for hurting you yesterday and leaving you the way I did but you need to know that I love you and I couldn't handle being in this village anymore nor could I erase the fact that you look like your father. You see your father was the love of my life but he choose money over me and I was devastated. I returned to the village pregnant with you secretly, when I gave birth to you at the hospital the doctors wanted you dead. I managed to told them that you were mine, the hokage had came to see you later that day and told me that I should have you killed humanely so that you won't suffer in the future. I told him no and that you will be a special child. That was when the village heard about you being born, many people of Takigakure had wanted you to become a slave to the village for what your father did long ago. Sakura I can't express I will miss you, how this had to come, how I tried to limit you to little things and how I treated you at the end. I called the civilian police to pick you up later and I told them what I did.
Love your loving mom"
Sakura couldn't hold back the tears as she read the letter. Sakura scream in frustration and sadness, she doesn't have anyone to help her, she is now orphaned and now she will be more isolated than before. Sakura opened the front door and sat on the porch till the police came. Sakura waited for the police to come but they didn't come nor did any ninjas, sakura remained on the porch till they came.
It took 4 days for official's to come, by now mom's body had started to smell and the neighbors complained about a foul odor coming from the house and the fact that I have been sitting on the porch for 4 days too. When they came they saw mom hanging from the stairs and saw that her wrist was slit.
The official's called ninja investigators to question me because they thought I killed her. When I was being interrogated by Ibiki he kept trying to make me say I did it. When he couldn't get me to say I did it they took me to Inoichi Yamanaka who looked into my memories and saw that I was telling the truth.
The hokage came later that day after I was treated at the hospital for the stab wounds and apologized for my lost and offered me a small apartment that I could live in for free. I asked him why he really wanted me to die when I was born. He said that my father is a man with many enemies and many charges for murder.
This didn't shock me as much as he thought it would and I told the hokage that I would take the apartment as long as I still could go to the academy. He nodded and said that a chunin would escort me to it.
The apartment was a good enough size for me to grow in, the next day when I went to the academy nobody looked or spoke to me besides Iruka sensei, who asked me if I needed anything. I told him no and proceeded with my day.
I was 8 when mom died and now im 12, I have the highest scores in the academy. Its makes the others mad that im better than them and it especially makes Sasuke mad that he isn't number one. So today we are being assigned to teams I wonder who im going to be teammates with.
Thanks for reading and who do you want sakura's teammates to be.
