A/N: Sooo ... yeah, this is my first fanfic here in the public domain. This is gonna be awkward for me so please leave good reviews and criticism when you feel the need to. NO GHOST READING PLEASE! The canon ships will be used in this and if you want to understand the story completely, then read ALL the chapters of Naruto or at least the last ... ten or twelve. Then read what you can of Sakura Hiden for info on the Kido incident.
Warning: This is fanfiction so treat it like fanfiction and don't get mad that it isn't canon.
I am sorry that I don't own Naruto or anything pertaining to it, I just own the story.
No, there will NOT be lemons due to the fact I just simply can't do that. It isn't written anywhere in my mind to write lemon, lime, XXX, or anything of the sort. Do that yourself if you want, just don't bring it here. My mind doesn't work like that and neither does my writing.
I will be adding a few characters of my own making so don't worry if you don't recognize the name.
Lastly: get out some feels-y music and enjoy. I'll do my best to write a work of art and I hope you like it

Prologue
"So my dear … how are you today?" A warm and calm female voice asks from the void.
"Fine, thank you …" A tiny voice answered back.
The little girl curled up in her corner and waited for the woman's response.
"You're a horrible liar little Sakura …" She laughed a little at the young girl's foolishness.
"I know …" There was a minute of silence between the small girl and the voice in the void.
"Sakura?"
"H-Hai?"
"Where did those scratches on your face come from?"
" … "
"… Are you going to answer me … dear one?" The little girl curled up tighter into her ball, trying to hide the bandages on her cheek and forehead. She could feel tears forming behind her eyes. "Sakura? … Did they do this to you again?"
She nodded and an audible sigh could be heard from the void.
"T-They called me b-billboard brow." The tears then began to fall.
Ever since Sakura was accepted into Konoha Ninja Academy, she never seemed to be accepted. She had no friends, she had no talents, and she was too shy to say even the smallest word. About the only thing she did have was her books, her good grades, bullies, and a voice who only existed in her head. Every night she would dream of this void and of the motherly woman who called out to her. It was one of the only comforts that she had.
"Sakura?"
"Hai?"
"I'm your friend … you know, that right?"
"Mm-hmm" She nodded.
"Do you want me to help you?"
"What?"
"I can help you …"
"With what?"
"Everything … all you have to do is say yes …
and wait."
