Prologue

Most High-Schoolers hate school, When the bell rings, Screams of Joy can be heard, for finally they are let out of the six-hour hell. But not for 18-year-old Haruno Sakura, Sakura Loved School, it was better than the place she called "home." For six hours she was away from

"him"…

Haruno Sakura got straight As, Passed her tests with Perfect scores, on her way to get a scholarship to an Ivy League school, Teachers loved her, they thought she was a wonderful girl, but they didn't understand her, they didn't know the hell she had to go through at home.

Her Social Life wasn't that good, though.

The kids hated her, envied her perfect grades and so she was picked on and beated up quite a lot. She was known as the girl who sucked up to the teachers, a.k.a teacher's pet. Every time she walked through the hall, people pointed and whispers could be heard about her...

But they didn't know what she had to go through...

Sakura didn't have any friends and kept a distance from people, she was afraid if "He" learned that she had friends, "He" would them hurt, she didn't want anyone else getting hurt. She sat alone at lunch, didn't show up at social events, and didn't talk to anyone much.

She just went by High School; she didn't care if she wasn't popular. It was only a couple years until and then she would finally be away from "him"...

But most unusual thing about her is that she had pink hair, even though it was natural, kids still bugged her about, and was one of the main reasons of why she got picked on a lot.

She also always wore long-sleeved shirts and long pants, even when it was burning hot. That didn't make her any more popular, and the kids thought she was crazy, and thought she wore it to hide an ugly birthmark, or a disfigured limb, or just to hide the fact that she was ugly. But they didn't know she did it to hide the marks, bruises, and wounds, "He" gave her.

Sakura Haruno was not actually an ugly girl, but she hid her beauty by wearing large glasses to hide her eyes and ugly baggy clothes to hide her figure.

Living with "Him" made her feel soiled, impure, dirty, and ugly, and she did feel not beautiful at all.

"he" tortured her physically and mentally everyday. She was scarred for life. She secretly took sleeping pills and anti-depressants, but it didn't help at all. She was haunted by "him", she was haunted by him in her dreams, her mind, everywhere, she couldn't escape him, nowhere was safe.

But soon the truth will unravel and everyone will know...

Chapter 1

It was another bright and sunny day, and school bell had just ringed, signaling another school day has ended. Haruno Sakura was trembling, with eyes wide with fear. It was time to go home back to "him". Hell was beginning for her, after slamming her locker door shut; she slowly walked out the high school in the midst of high schoolers rushing to get out.

Outside, Sakura took a left and started walking to the place she called home. With step, her feet felt like lead, getting heavier and heavier. Unlike most kids who could drive home, she walked. She couldn't take the bus, because she lived quite far from the high school and the city bus did not stop anywhere nearby she lived, for where she lived was the unsafe part of town.

The houses were getting more and more shabbier, as she walked by. Some time later, she walked into a an alley and was in the neighborhood where she lived, walked straight up to where her house was, and stopped.

Sakura looked at the house with a glance of pure hatred. Oh, how she hated that house, so many unpleasant events had happened there.

Sakura then braced herself and made sure her expression held no fear, she didn't wait to give him the satisfaction of seeing her frightened. After, telling herself one more time "I can do this." she pushed open the broken gate that was at the entrance of the house.

Walking up the entrance, she stopped at the door and pushed the unlocked door. The door creaked open and she stepped inside. The strong smell of sex and alcohol filled the whole house. Taken aback from the smell, Sakura wrinkles her nose up in disgust, and then hesitantly whispered "Itachi?"...

a/n: So, was it good? Or was it bad? I'm sorry to tell you Itachi fans (I'm a big one, myself!) that Itachi is the bad guy, or the villain in this story. I didn't want to do it, but it seemed that Itachi was the best one for the job. Gaara isn't in the story yet, but have no fear he'll appear soon. Also, please review!
