Prologue
-
A young girl ran down a steep hill. As she ran, her long soft pink hair blew all around her. She ran as quick as her little legs could get her. She stumbled a bit, but as soon as she reached the bottom, she fell down playfully. She rolled around back and forth, giggling and smiling as her white sundress got dirty. Her feet became muddy due to the fact that she left her white sandals somewhere up the hill. At the top of the hill, you could see a woman shaking her head while she watched the young girl.
"Hime! We need to get going!" The woman called from the top of the hill
At this, the young girl jumped up and stared at the woman with big green eyes. Her dress and hair flowed all around her as the wind picked up for a few seconds. As soon as it settled down, the young girl spoke.
"But Shizune-chan! I want to stay and play!" The young girl whinned
The woman shook her head and walked down the hill, picking up the young girls sandals on the way. Once she reached the bottom of the hill and stood infront of the young girl, she bent down to her level. As she reached her height, she put a hand on her head and held the young girls sandals infront of her.
"You don't want your mother to be mad, do you? We are having people over and we need to be presentable. We can play another day, okay Hime?" The woman called Shizune said
The young girl looked down for a few seconds before running away into the field of flowers that were at the bottom of the hill. She started to hop and jump, laugh and twirl. The young girl looked so innocent. Shizune watched her with soft eyes. The young girl seemed so at peace and nobody would ever want to ruin that. Shizune knew better though, the young girls life will never be peaceful. The girl came from a very prestegiuos family. Shizune always felt guilty for not being able to protect her from the harsh reality of the real world.
"Hime! We need to go!" Shizune called
The girl simply ignored Shizune's protests and kept at what she was doing.
If anybody knew who this girl was, it would be Shizune.
Shizune had been with the young girl, almost her whole life. Shizune knew almost everything about the girl. The girl was a very fun-loving and animated child. She was extremely obedient, yet disobeyed if it was in her best intrest. She seemed so innocent, but the girl was too smart for her own good. At the age of 2, the girl had perfected how to read, write, walk, and talk. That was unheard of. At her current age of 5, she is a part of the regularly meeting council of her village, Suna. She is marked as a high political figure and is not to be messed with. To question her authority is the same as to question if the worl is round. At the moment, the girl had been on her way to meet her mother. Her family went to Konoha for the week, and were having a get together at her house later that evening. Many people would be there, including the Uchiha family and the Hyuuga family. Many other family's were attending but the families at the head table would be her family, the Uchiha's, and the Hyuuga's. The girl had not gotten along well with the Hyuuga's heir nor the Uchiha's heir. They had teased her and acted too cold around her. That was just one of the many reasons why she did not want to go back to the house. Her name, was Sakura Haruno, the heiress.
