Chapter 1: Rebirth
It wasn't the same.
Everything was falling apart…what was she going to do about it?
She didn't know, but she hopes she will once she finds the strength inside.
In the perfect dream, he would be there, laughing with her, loving her, but most of all he would come running
…to her…
But this was not the perfect dream.
Or any good kind of dream at all
She had been replaced by a prettier, much better person after all.
…she was disposable not only to him, but to them…
That girl with the chopped up red hair and the thick square framed glasses
…replaced her…Karin uzumaki
Sakura Haruno had died and in her place someone else breaths
How frightening?
How sad?
How heartbreaking?
…how betrayed she had felt…
In the end she knew it was bound to happen
…and that's what made her break inside…
The sky was crying, or it was just her tears blocking her eyes. Regardless of what it was they came like hot flooding pools of water, streaming down her face. She had no control
over them and her face felt warm and entirely uncomfortable, she was growing pale with restless. The pain of being alone was finally getting to her at all angles and she was at a
loss at how to fix it—to make it so that it hurt less.
Why was she here if they had not meant for her to be there in the first place? Did they hate her that much? The person who had supported them through thick and thin? What was
with the secret meetings they repeatedly held without her? It was like they were laughing at her slow and painful descent into misery. Sometimes she even saw the pitying glances
they threw at her with ignorance.
Sakura was walking through the halls of their school; they were usually filled with a lot of students but since she and her friends were early risers, they are the usually among the
first students in school.
After a few more minutes of walking she reached their homeroom; she turned the knob and gently opened it. As expected she saw Ino, Tenten, Hinata and Sasuke they are always
a few minutes earlier than her. But instead of smiles all she got was intense stares and glares.
"Hey guys, is anything wrong?" Sakura asked while walking towards them concernedly.
Before she could go anywhere near them Ino stood up from where she was and slapped her on her right cheek, "How could you Sakura? I thought you were my best friend!"
Sakura touched her now tender cheek where she had been slapped and look at Ino, "What the hell is your problem Ino?"
Ino let out a sarcastic laugh, "What's my problem? It's you! You're my problem! "
Sakura's brows' furrowed, "What did I do to you?"
Ino glared at Sakura, "Oh don't play dumb Sakura! We already know that you were the one spreading rumors about me being a slut!"
"Wait I don't even know wh-"
"I know that I'm not smart as you are but I'm not that dumb enough to not realize it!" Ino screamed as tears gathered in her eyes.
"What are you ev-"
"I thought you were a true friend but I guess I'm wrong aren't I!" Ino looked at Sakura with disgust.
"Forget that we were even best friends because I don't have friends that are backstabbers!" Ino shouted once more at Sakura before stomping towards the door but not before
Sakura grabbed Ino's wrist, "What are you talking about?"
Ino looked at Sakura with pure hatred, "Someone saw you at a restaurant with another student while handing him a picture of me"
Sakura looked at Ino with utter disbelief written across her face, "And that's your proof?"
"And then on the next day rumors started spreading around the campus about me giving men some free services!"
She was framed for somebody else's dirty work.
"Ino, that student was-"
"That student was the one you paid to spread the rumors that I slept with him!" and with those words Ino left the room angrily, storming away.
Sakura was shocked; tears were streaming down her face.
"You're such a great actress Sakura, I can't believe we even trusted you" Tenten said sarcastically while walking out of the room.
"Wait Ten-"
"Why did you do that to Ino Sakura? She was a good friend to you" Hinata said in a strong voice as she left the room.
"Were over, Haruno" A cold emotionless voice said behind her.
Sakura looked at Sasuke; her first love and boyfriend.
"Sasuke-kun… I didn't do anything!" Sakura said as tears fell from her emerald eyes.
"You cheated on me" Sasuke glared at Sakura.
"What? I didn't cheat on you! You're the only one I love!" Sakura shouted.
"Whoever told you these things are lying!" Sakura yelled.
"The one that told us these things is a trustworthy person and she has pictures of you with another man" Sasuke's voice was cold as ice as he glared at her, he had never glared at
her before, much more with such pure hatred and intensity.
"Sasuke-kun don't do this to me" Sakura pleaded as tears continued to stream down her porcelain face.
"You broke my trust Sakura…" Sasuke said as he left but not after she fell to the ground, hugging her knees.
After a few minutes of crying, Karin came in the room and smiled at Sakura, "Don't worry Sakura; I'll take good care of your friends. Oops, sorry they aren't your friends anymore.
Oops did I hit a sore spot?"
Sakura's eyes widened, "You're the one that told them all those lies! Why?"
Karin laughed, "Because you had all the things that I ever wanted in life" she said as she walked away.
The reason why Sakura was in a restaurant with another student was because the father of that student was a jewellery maker. Sakura told him that she wanted a necklace where
Ino could put her picture on and that's why she handed him a picture of Ino.
She has no idea what pictures Karin had.
She had to endure a whole day without her friends who were hanging out with Karin and the next day she was told that Sasuke and Karin were in a relationship and she caught
them making out.
Her heart broke into a million pieces
Never the less, Sakura thought as she walked home again, her arms wrapping around her sides in an attempt to gain warmth from the cool night, she knew that letting go would
always be the first step.
It was a learning process
She came to a stop at the front door of her house and opened it. Little did she know that behind that door lied her destiny….
To a future worth living
Chapter 2: vongola letter
home
A boy with dark hair and cerulean eyes hidden behind rectangular glasses walked down the Haruno Family Manion hallways in a slightly slower stroll then usual. In his hand was a silver
letter, slightly wrinkled from being crushed under his firm grip.
He wasn't usually this stiff when it came to being a messenger. But when he saw who the letter was being delivered to and who was the deliverer, he couldn't help but feel a little
anxious. The only thing that was restricting him from breaking into a run to his destination were the cameras plastered practically everywhere on the familigia walls. And with it
came people watching his every move in a nice and secure place where they could easily call for back up and report him to the boss. That was the last thing he needed.
He passed several doors, each decorated in different colors and on the field.
The sight of its porcelain silver doors made him twitch with anticipation. Only a few more steps and all the pain and suffering would be done with. Only a few more steps and they
would be free.
Sakura Haruno awoke from the harsh knocks at her front door. She slowly opened her emerald eyes and glanced at the clock hanging on her wall. Usually she wouldn't get visitors
at three o'clock in the morning. And when she did, they wouldn't make a sound unless they wanted to be caught trying to kill her.
She slid out of her bed and dragged her feet across the marble floors and tugged the door open. Standing before her was none other than her Guardian's assistant, Charlie
Valliere.
"Sakura-sama."He hissed, body completely stiff.
Sakura nodded."Good morning Charlie. How may I help you at three in the morning?"
The boy didn't answer. His dark blue eyes were too busy glaring daggers into Sakura's lighter ones.
Sakura took a step back to let the boy inside but he shook his head violently to her silent gesture.
"Letter."He whispered under his breath."For you."
"Why are you talking like that?"Sakura asked loudly. She couldn't help but be a little annoyed. desperately needed to get some sleep before she needed to deal with something else.
Charlie flinched at her voice. Was she trying to get them caught?
"Cameras."Charlie said, motioning towards the camera perched in the corner of the hall. In an ironic twist of fate, the camera's lens turned side ways, now staring directly at
Charlie's shivering form.
Sakura sighed, "Stop being an idiot. Just say it."
"I can't."Charlie whimpered in a desperate whine."They'll hear."
"They wont hear anything. They don't have mikes."Sakura said.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."Immediately afterwards, Charlie let out a long sigh of relief. To him, hiding things from the familigia cameras was like walking into the mine field. But from the look on
Sakura's face, she didn't seem fazed.
"Was there something you needed?"
Charlie nodded and lifted the letter enough for her to see. Sakura turned her head away and pushed the envelope away."I don't want fan mail."
"It's from the Vongola."
Sakura looked at her room that has been her comfort zone for the past years; she remembered the good times with the gang when they were still her friends. Ino will throw
sleepover parties after exams, they (the gang and her) would almost burn they're eyebrows when they're studying except Naruto who will just sleep on her bed. Those were the fun
times when they didn't betray her… yet, she was shock that they quickly believe what Karin said about her and she is determine to find out what did the bitch do to make them
believe. She would make them feel what she felt when they bet-
"Sakura, were ready to leave" Her mother's soft voice filled the room interrupting her thoughts "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine mom" Sakura picked up her bags and went outside the room.
Miyaka went to the built-in-drawer of her precious daughter she opened it; of course it was empty she was about to close it when a frame caught her eyes. Her delicate hands took
the frame when she saw the picture in it she glared. It was the picture of her daughter and her ex-friends.
"How dare they ruin my daughter's life" Mizuki said to herself, "Foolish brats they will pay"
"Madam?" charlie walked towards her, "Why are you looking at that picture?"
charlie do you know the girl that ruined Sakura's life?" Miyaka's eyes are still glued to the frame.
"Hai, it's Karin Watanabe" charlie answered gently taking the frame from sakura mother's hand.
"I want a full data on her life" Miyaka went towards the door.
charlie watched as her boss figure disappeared from the door "You better prepare Karin, mom is up to something"
One car drive later…..
Sakura and her parents are at the grounds of Japan International Airport where they're private pale is already waiting.
"Take care Sakura" Miyaka hugged her daughter.
"I will, Kaa-san" Sakura hugged back.
"Always be a good girl say hello to me your brother and grandfather ok" Kazuki said.
"I've always been one haven't I?and I will" Sakura smiled.
"Goodbye Kaa-san, Tou-san said as she went to the plane.
Sakura looked at her parents who are waving at her; she is currently looking at them through the window.
"The next time that I will step on Japan, they will meet a stronger Sakura" That was Sakura's last thought before she had fallen asleep.
