Sakurella

Chapter one: Prologue

Author's notes: Hello! This is my first fanfic and I'm pretty nervous about it. Please bear my grammatical mistakes since English isn't my first language. Though I do not own Naruto, I do own this fanfic. Enjoy!

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a tiny kingdom, which went by the name of Konoha. There lived a lord and his young daughter, whose mother had died when giving to her; and thus, the lord remarried since he realized his daughter lacked something he could never give: a mother's love. The young girl's stepmother already had two daughters of his…her own, and now, not only does she have a new mother, she also has two new sisters, who were about the same age as she was. Respectively, the new sisters were Ino, the peach blonde with blue eyes, who was adopted, and Karin, the girl with an odd hair style and glasses. And the lord's daughter is none other than Sakura herself, who had pink hair long enough to touch her waist, with her unique emerald eyes.

But then, the real misery started right after the wedding. Sakura's stepmother had somehow poisoned her father, then died on the wedding night. Poor Sakura only knew that he died because of poisoning, the murderer and the reason of killing him was still a mystery. Cruel and cold-hearted, Sakura was treated as a slave forced to do housework. Karin and her mother treated her like shit, giving her frayed and tattered rags to wear, and the smallest bread crumbs for her meals, whereas Ino, who felt sorry for Sakura was her only friend in the lonely manor. Ino's parents died in a car accident when she was still 9. 7years later, she was adopted by Sakura's stepmother. Imo was the only one who understands how Sakura felt because she was once an orphan.

At night, Sakura would slump to her bed and cry, crying out all her sorrows and pains. Oh, how she missed her father. She remembered those days when her dad and she went out to the forest and had their morning strolls. She remembered having breakfast with her father, while joking and laughing and playing around.

But now…

He was gone.

Gone. Forever.

Big drops of tears slid down form the pink-haired girl's cheek. Her eyes were red from crying. Sakura gazed at the starry night from the window of the attic. Someday…this will all change.

XXXXXXXXXX

I'm sorry, it's such a short chappie. Actually I got this done a month before, it's just that I'm too lazy and it's troublesome to type it out.( Shikamaru is my best friend ever!) This fanfic is my first one and I hop you guys like it. It's not going to be original "Cinderella", there will be some modern themes and comedy, of couse, it's not going to be the original one, Dattebayo!
