Chapter 1 - Prologue

I always thought my life was perfect. Similar to a never ending fairytale. I had loving parents that were everything to me. I had perfect friends, although not many of them. Tenten and Temari were my only friends ever since I was a little girl. It's not like I couldn't have more of them, but we lived in a retreat and my wide forehead, exotic pink hair I inherited from my mother and apple green eyes from my father always made me a freak. Even through my hair is quite unique, I always loved it. But I was often bullied because of it until we moved out of the city.

I never blamed them for it, they were just children, but I would lie if I said it didn't hurt. I often felt alone, without a caring friend I could tell every little secret I held to, especially after we moved in seclusion. I became shy and self-contained. My mother and father were afraid I would fall into depression and decided to call their friends to come live with us.

That's when I met Temari and Tenten. My best friends, my sisters... We've been through everything together. From child plays, through injuries to our first fights and loves. We were happy, we had perfect lives and we wished for nothing more. But no one prepared us, and neither one of us expected, what had happened that night.

28th of March... The day of my own birthday and after that my life was never the same. My parents were killed right in front of my eyes... And I couldn't do anything to save them. I just cried and screamed until I could't anymore. Temari and Tenten found me in this state, both shocked, frightened and broken, just like me. Their parents were killed too and we managed to escape our own deaths.

We stayed together and we lived for 3 years in different places, trying our hardest to survive. We had to move on and mourn our parent's deaths. And as we did so, hints of who could have killed our parents slowly became known. But that meant that we weren't safe anymore and we probably never would be...

My name is Haruno Sakura. I'm 17 years old and I have no living family anymore and someone is after me and my sisters. This is my story about how I tried so hard to find my peace, happines, family and love again...

But will I ever succeed?
