[A/N: YAY!! Finally, the sequel to "Stripped" is here! If you haven't read "Stripped" yet, then I suggest that you go and read that story first. I hope everyone enjoys this fic =D]
Prologue
I'm finding out in the hardest way
The consequence of every mistake I've ever made
I'm just not quite strong enough
I'm wearing this smile that I don't believe in
They say time heals all wounds. I beg to differ. Some wounds are just too deep to ever be fully healed. They may seem to be healed on the outside, but deep down, they still hurt and leave you weakened of your former strength.
In my life, I have had to face many hardships. You may not be able to see the wounds now, but I still can. I can see every deep scar left from the hardest challenges of my life: from losing my parents to the time I was raped. I can still see those scars vividly on my flesh. For me, they will never leave no matter how much times goes by. The only thing time can do is numb the pain so it doesn't hurt as much.
It's becoming easier to move on from the past as so many new things begin to happen. It finally feels like I have control of my life, a life I want. I wouldn't say things went back to how they used to be, but they are definitely better.
If only history didn't have the nasty habit of repeating itself…
Chaos enters my life and it nearly destroys me once again. Why now, when things were going well, did tragedy have to fall into my life? Things like this shouldn't happen. But then again, things like this should only be expected… when you're married to a shinobi.
I'm scared to death and it shows
The look in your eyes
Says things I don't wanna know
I'll do my best explaining all the things I'm going through
