Dear Diary,

Look at what I have become, a true warrior in the rage of battle. I fought my first war yesterday against the Huns. Many people died on the field and pools of blood were shed. I couldn't believe my eyes. For the first time, I realized that war is very costly not only in money, but lives. What a terrible sight. And now that I think back, I remember the time in which many thought that I could not hold my own ground. I showed them. And my father is so proud of me especially because I am a woman that has risen up in this country, my country. I can remember all of those old times of innocence and peace, when I was young and living with my family.

~*~*~* Back in the past ~*~*~*~

Hi, I am Sakura Kinomoto. I live with my caring dad, my beautiful mom, and my annoying brother. There is a war going on right now and a few of the men from out village went to join the army last month and my brother was among them. He felt the need to go and protect his country, China. I miss him a lot even though he does call me a monster and stuff. I truly hope that my father won't have to go to war. My father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, was a war hero of a previous was, but in the process of being a hero, my father got injured. He injured his right kneecap. He was considered a hero after leading the troops into victory. But before that, people didn't accept my family and me because we were different from the others of the village. The difference was that we were Japanese. The Chinese in the village didn't accept us because they didn't know us and what can I say, people don't trust people that they don't know- fear of the unknown. When the war started and my father joined the ranks, many people thought that my father need to mind his own Japanese business, but in the end, my father did prove that he is loyal to China. We left Japan because of something that I don't quite remember- I was too small to remember, and I never ask my dad because it doesn't seem like a topic that my dad wants to talk about. Now, I hope that this war won't change too much in my life.

AN: So, do you like???? And the thing about the Chinese.don't get mad about that because I needed to have Fujitaka do something to be accepted and respected in China because he is Japanese..and I also need Sakura in China.and I know that this chapter is short, but then this chapter is just a set up of the setting. The other chapters will be longer, I promise..please review!!!
