Hello! I am CaulieBlossom and welcome to my new fanfiction, Forbidden or not. This is an introduction chapter, but I still hope that you enjoy reading it!

Please review!


Today is the beginning of a new chapter. A chapter that will hopefully bring back some happiness into my life. My name is Sakura Haruno, no scratch that, from today on I am Sakura Haruno-Uchiha. Weird, huh? Well the story of my previous chapter is sad; my dad died in a car accident when I was 12 years old and 6 months ago my mom passed away. She died because of cancer, lung cancer to be exact. She smoked even before my father's death, but after that horrible day… she could smoke one pack of cigarettes in only 2 days. TWO FUCKING DAYS! I told her to stop smoking that much, but she always responded me that she needed it, that it helped her to calm down when she was sad or stressed. I didn't grow up in a wealthy family, but my parents both had a job and we could pay all the bills and still have some money left at the end of each month. Then the last Sunday of the month, we decided to have some picnic nearby a river. Yes a river! That may sound weird since we lived in Suna, but there was one river in our state and we would spend the whole day there, eating a lot and enjoying our time as a family. When my father died, a lot of these things changed. My mom had to take on another job to earn enough money to pay the bills and to make sure that we wouldn't suffer from famine. It's normal that she couldn't keep doing these things forever, so I always told her that it is no shame to ask for help. Coming from a mouth of a 12 year old, my mom laughed because she found it cute that I care about her, but she also told me that in the real world it is sometimes hard to ask for help, even from your friends, because you always want to do it on your own.

Then one day when I was 17 years old, a few friends from Konoha visited us while they were in Suna for a clan conference. My parents are both originally from Konoha, but my father found his dream job in Suna, so my parents moved to Suna before I was born. I have visited Konoha a few times, to visit my father's grave, and I must admit that Suna and Konoha are complete opposites. While Konoha is very cold and greener from the rain, Suna is known for his dryness and sand. Well, anyway those friends visited us and they saw the miserable state of my mother's life. My mother didn't want to tell them the stressful life she had, but she didn't need to. They were smart enough to figure it out themselves and they wanted to help her immediately. Of course, knowing my mother, she didn't accept their help unless she could do something for them. Even though our guests are used to life in a wealthy home, they didn't mind to live with us during their stay. I have never seen my mom so happy in those two weeks with her friends since the death of my father. They helped her to clean the house and even to pay the bills. She didn't want to accept the money, but her friends refused to take it back, saying that it is their duty as friends to help her and because they felt a little ashamed. Ashamed because they should have known the difficulties my mom had to conquer after my father's death. So they wanted to help her as much as they can and as much as my mother would let them. I am very grateful for what they have done. They brought back some happiness in my mother's life and eased her pain a little by helping her out.

Now, I am going to live with these friends since they arranged with my mother to adopt me after her death. The man, Uchiha Fugaku, doctor at Konoha's Hospital, is the one who even found out about my mother's illness. During their visit two years ago, he heard her coughing a lot and she even lost some blood while coughing. After forcing her to go the hospital in Suna, the diagnosis was made. My mother had lung cancer in a very advanced stage. They couldn't cure her anymore; they only could give her medication to ease her pain so that she could live a bit further without pain. Since that day, I knew that I would lose my mother soon… I tried to help her during her illness as much as I can. I graduated from high school a month after her diagnosis and I took care of her for the next year and a half. I didn't go to the university, because I wanted to be with her every minute of the day because I knew that we hadn't much time left. On days where she didn't cough a lot, we would go to the river and 'enjoy' our time together. She didn't want to think about her illness, she just wanted to have some fun with her daughter and I respected her choice, even though we couldn't avoid the fate. One year and a half later, she passed away in her bed in our house. She didn't want to go to the hospital; she wanted to pass away in her house, with me and her friends from Suna and Konoha by her side. Mikoto and Fugaku visited often during the year and a half and helped me taking care of her. After my mother's death, they told me that they are going to adopt me so that they could take care of me. My mom had given them her permission to take care of me but she died before the paperwork of her testament was done. Because of that, the whole adoption procedure needed to start whole over again, which took a lot of time, 6 months to be exact. During those months, Mikoto and Fugaku stayed with me in Suna to help me and mourn with me. I know that they have sons in Konoha, but they said that they are old enough to take care of themselves and that I was their priority. Fugaku worked in Suna hospital, while Mikoto took care of the house, cleaning it and finding people who would love to buy the house. I got to know them very well and I am glad that they will adopt me. I don't think that I will ever accept them as my mother or my father, since I only have one mother and father, but I consider them as my caretakers.

As I said, today is the day of a new chapter because today I will be moving to Konoha with my new family. I have packed all my stuff, said goodbye to my friends from Suna, promising them that I will visit them and now I am sitting in the car, on my way to my new life. I am sad, because I have always lived in Suna since my birth and my friends live there, but I am excited as well to live somewhere else. Somewhere where my parents grew up, where they met, got married and where they are buried. I think that Konoha holds more happy memories than Suna, where they both died.

Little did I know that there was already one of my recent memories walking around in Konoha…

After a long drive of 8 hours, we finally arrive at the main gate of the Uchiha mansion. Yep a mansion! That building is really big; it's like the little brother of a real castle.

"Come on, Sakura, are you ready to meet your brothers?" Mikoto asks while I step out of the car. My new brothers? I am going to have brothers? I never had siblings, so I am not used to have more than 3 people living in one place. I just hope that they will accept me as their 'sister'…

When I turn around, to go to the car trunk to help Fugaku with my stuff, he says that I do not need to help, that I need to follow Mikoto and try to feel at ease in my new home. His sons would come and help him after they meet me. So I follow Mikoto on the stairs and I blink a few times when she opens the front door. Bejeweled chandeliers sparkle on the ceilings in the hall and the stairs are made of white marble. On the left is the living area with a large TV and 3 large couches accompanied by two smaller seats. A huge fireplace gives the room a very cozy look. The kitchen is next to the living room and I nearly bump into someone's chest while I admire the paintings on the wall.

"I'm sorry" I say while I look up. The man in front of me is very tall, has the dark hair and eyes from his father and has very long hair, put in a ponytail.

"You must be Sakura" he says while extending his hand. I nod and shake his hand.

"I am Itachi Uchiha, the older brother. Welcome to our home" he says and he smiles genuinely at me. OEF, I think he will accept me pretty soon as new member of their family. I just hope that the other brother will act the same way towards me.

"Thank you." I look back at him and he remembers me of someone… and I do not mean his father, but someone else. I just don't know who… yet.

"Itachi could you help me a bit?"

"Sure, father. If you excuse me, Sakura."

"Here, honey, have some water. It has been a long day."

"Thank you, Mikoto. Not just for the water, but for taking care of me."

"Oh honey" she says while she walks towards me and gives me a hug. When she lets me go, she walks back to the kitchen counter. "Now, I am going to make your favorite dish to welcome you in the Uchiha family."

"Euh, Mikoto, where is your other son?"

"He is right here."

I make the mistake to turn around to see who spoke, because the moment I turn, the air in my lungs leaves me and my heart stops beating for a second.

"You" he says while his eyes widen, a sign that he does recognize me.

"You" I whisper back at him.


Do Sasuke and Sakura know each other? And if they do, what had happened between them?

Until next chapter!
