Chapter 1: Birth
Author's Note: Hello everyone! I've been a big fan fiction reader since the age of 12, but for some odd reason I never joined the site and actually wrote a story. Anyway I have always been a diehard sasusaku fan and I decided, "why not incorporate my life's story into this fanfiction?" Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my first fanfic, please enjoy!
Birth…..the miracle of life….
Now when I think of the word miracle, the words serene and peaceful come to mind. Birth is a miracle given by God, and a moment like this should be cherished. Now on the date of March 28 at precisely 12:00 in the afternoon was not exactly what a person could call "peaceful", in fact I would say it was the complete opposite.
Now why don't we rewind time to that same morning?
It was a calm and quiet spring day…the birds were chirping, the flowers continued to bloom; it was the rebirth of life. Speaking of life, a woman could be heard screaming in agony inside a small mahogany home in the village hidden in the leaves: Konohagure. The constant shrieking forced the citizens to crowd around the home; they were all curious and worried. After all they knew that this was the household of one of Konoha's well-respected families: the Harunos. They were wealthy people, and the prestige of this family spread throughout the vast majority of the villages in the other nations. As the screaming persisted, a man with dark brown silk-smooth hair and large light blue eyes ran out of the house. "Citizens my wife is giving birth!" Haruno Takashi (the man) shouted. Soon a group of paramedics hurried into the house to retrieve the said woman. She had short copper-red hair, creamy skin, and bright green eyes which held the strangest combination of both fear and joy. Haruno Rina (the woman) safely arrived at the emergency room and was more than ready to give birth to God's miracle of life.
Fast forward to 12:00 in the afternoon at Konoha Hospital…
"Push Rina! Please push and deliver the child safely!" cried my father.
"Do you realize how much energy I am putting into this dammit! Just give me a break Takashi!" shouted my tired and annoyed mother.
You know what made this entire procedure more unnerving? The fact that the nurses were too scared to assist my mother because she was too busy beating my father to a pulp using her inhumane strength! (hmmmm….wonder where she got that from?) Now if I were watching this entire scene on Television, I would think that this whole process would drag on forever, but thank god it didn't! My head popped out, and with more encouragement from everyone in the room (including my traumatized father), my mother mustered all of her remaining strength to push me out of her sweating body. Nurse Shizuka (my mother's OBGYN) picked me up so my mother could rest but that woman was just too pushy and instead ordered Shizuka to put me back into her arms. "Rina since you are already holding the baby, what would you like to name her?" questioned Shizuka. My mother gave me an inquiring look, she must have been thinking, "Where did my child get pink hair from!? I don't recall any of my ancestors having pink hair!" Then she smiled at me and said, "Pink suits her, Takashi, why don't we name the baby Sakura?" My father thought about it for a bit and his expression lit up, he smiled and said, "Haruno Sakura, I like it!"
Nurse Shizuka smiled and took a lovely family photo, "Haruno Takashi and Haruno Rina, congratulations, the hospital staff and or course all of Konoha wishes you the best of luck with your little one".
My mother smiled at me and whispered into my ear,
"Welcome to the world……………..my cherry blossom……".
