I do not own any Naruto characters.
~Chapter 1~
~Lets go on an Adventure~
Sakura Haruno was but only a baby of 6 hours when she was found abandoned on the side a country road beneath the shade of a cherry blossom tree in the spring of 1994. She had eyes like emeralds and hair like cotton candy. A young couple was taking a drive on the back roads with the windows down when the spotted an object on the side of the road, as they neared they started to hear the wailing of a baby. The couple sped up when they heard the cries and soon came upon a basket. Inside was a bundle containing Sakura. There was a letter inside with her, it only said two words.
"I'm Sorry."
Nothing else. The couple took Sakura into town where the police investigated trying their best to find the parent whom abandoned a child on the road. Alas they hit nothing but a dead end. Unable to do much more for the child she was taken in by an orphanage where from there she was raised until she was 4, after that a family had taken her in but soon relinquished her after about 6 months because she was "strange" "unsocial" and "creepy". Again a year later Sakura was taken in by another family who happened to have 2 other children. They also gave Sakura back after a year because of the same reasons. You see its not that Sakura was a problem child it was just that she was too intelligent for the other children to get along with and the adults came to find her adult like intelligence creepy or annoying.
After that Sakura spent most of her time reading like always. She was constantly studying and filling her brain with as much knowledge as she could, she went from high school textbooks to college to university in just short span of 3 years. She was top of every class except gym. She was constantly praised by her teachers and the nuns at her orphanage. But even with all the praise and her books Sakura felt alone, so so alone. All she ever wanted was someone to love her and understand her. Nobody ever really tried with her, they all just assumed that because she was so smart and adult like that she didn't need the same treatment as the other children needed. When in truth she wanted to play jump rope with the other girls, or go to the park to eat ice-cream and feed ducks. She wanted to ride on the shoulders of the adults and pretend she was flying, but even though she was so smart she was also just as shy, so she sat in her corner and read, read till she forgot the pain of being left out and alone.
Sakura was was 7 when Chiyo came to her. Chiyo was a short old woman with straight shoulder length Grey hair with a bun also made atop her head, her eyes were soft but were full of wisdom. When she heard of from a friends daughter who had tried to adopt Sakura she came to meet the child right away, only issue was once she arrived after calling the head sister Sakura had disappeared.
"I'm sorry Chiyo but it seems Sakura has hid herself away again." Spoke the nun who had been attempting to find the girl.
"Ha ha it is fine dear I'm sure she is around here somewhere." Chiyo replied.
"I know but this is the 6th time this has happened, it seems Sakura has given up on families and just dose not want to bother with them anymore."
"Well from what I understand she has been tossed around like a salad, I can see why she would hide, I would too. How about you carry on with your duty sister and I will take a stroll around and see if I can find the little blossom?"
"Are you sure Chiyo I could come with you so you are not alone."
"Oh hush now I know where this is going just because I'm old dose not mean I cannot walk around alone, don't worry I won't fall, I'm stronger than I look sister. Besides I feel it might be better if I approached this one alone"
"Well if you are sure. I'll be in the office if you require me." The nun bobbed her head and made her way down the hall to her office.
"And so the hunt begins" Chiyo whispered to herself
The orphanage was quite small since it was located in a small country town. Chiyo was currently in the entrance way. The stairs to the upstairs where the children and nuns slept were to her left, entrance to her right, behind was the hallway to the kitchen/eating area and office, ahead was another hallway leading to the small library, washrooms and garden.
Chiyo made her way slowly taking her time towards the garden not bothering to check if Sakura was in the library since the nun had already checked there, so bypassing the the library and washrooms Chiyo made her was outside. The garden was lovely, it was a sunny day and not a cloud in the sky. There was a small vegetable garden that the children looked after, a birdbath a swing-set with slide attachment where 2 girls were swinging happily, a group of boy ages 3-5 were playing in the sand pit with toy trucks making silly engine noises. Chiyo giggled to herself at the site of the boys reminding her of times long past, she carried on and walked towards the the swing set with the girls.
"You two wouldn't have happened to see a young pink haired girl anywhere have you?" Chiyo asked kindly.
"Oh Yeah she's over der!" Pointed the younger one to a tree farthest away from the orphanage.
"Thank you very much." Chiyo gave the girl a smile and a pat on the head
As Chiyo got closer she soon saw 2 small feet at the other side of the tree. Soon Sakura came into full view, she had long shaggy hair and was wearing a pale green noodle strap dress with a pink flower on the chest and sandals, in her tiny hands she held a book from which what she could tell held more words that pictures.
"Hello." Chiyo said
Sakura jumped a little with the sudden voice looking up she saw Chiyo looking down at her with closed eyes and smile.
"He-Hello." Sakura replied
"What a fine day it is, may I ask what book you are reading?"
"Oh yes um its about Robin Hood."
"Oh what a good book I loved reading it when I was your age, It makes me happy when the younger generations take interest in books, they hold so much adventure and wonder in them."
"Yes Robin Hood is one of my favorites, I have read it many times I love the idea of stealing from the rich who abuse the poor and giving it back to them. I wish I could be like Robin.
"Ho ho I to wish for adventure too. So Sakura may I now ask as to why you hid?"
Sakura frowned and looked down at her toes intently a light blush coming to her face. "I was afraid."
"But why?
"Because I don't want to be tossed away anymore, I don't want people to look at me with those eyes." Sakura Said with a frown
"Eyes?" Asked Chiyo lifting one of her eyebrows slightly.
"Yeah, they look at me like I'm a freak, or some monster just because I'm too smart for my own good." Tears started to form in her eyes.
Chiyo sat next to Sakura placing a hand on Sakura's head.
"You know my mother used to say that "To learn is to learn is to learn."
"Really?" asked Sakura.
"Yep! That's how I ended up becoming a doctor. Sakura knowing a lot of things isn't a bad thing, some people just don't know how to handle smart people that's all, you just happened to get all those type of people sadly. But ya know what?"
"What?" Sakura asked looking up to Chiyo with watery eyes.
"That's why I'm here, two pee's in a pod that's what you and I are."
"So dose that mean I won't be alone anymore?"
"That's right." Chiyo picked up Sakura's book standing up and holding her hand out to Sakura.
"So what do you say Sakura, how would you like to come with me and we can have our own adventure?"
Sakura mulled in over in her head. "On one condition!" She half yelled
"And what condition would that be?"
"Ice cream, French Vanilla and not that fake yucky stuff French is superior."
"HA!" Chiyo Barked "I think will get along fine Sakura."
Sakura smiled and took Chiyo's hand
"Let's have an adventure Sakura." Chiyo said as they walked hand in hand back to the orphanage where Sakura would say goodbye to everyone for the last time.
