Strings and Things

by tiny.sakura

She tries not to notice them. The two red strings on fingers that signal two soulmates are out there. One who will change your life, and the one you're meant to be with. The strings that mean too much when she only knows so little. Where Senju Sakura grows up knowing secrets she's not supposed to in a village of soldiers readying for war. Short Chapters. Non-Mass. Multi-Saku.

1. Chapter 1

Ever since Senju Sakura could remember, she saw red strings tied to everyone's fingers. Two for each person. One string for your romantic soulmate and one string for your platonic soulmate. She also knows that different fingers mean different connections.

But for some reason, she had four. She had only ever seen one person with three, and that person was a kid in her pre-school class named Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto was another child of the Hokage (well, former Hokage) just like she was.

So what was it that made them special? All she knew was that it was important.

Another 100-word Drabble from little old me.

In this slightly different AU, the Uchihas are still alive, Naruto's parents didn't die, and Naruto isn't the Kyuubi container. Oh, and Senju Nawaki is Sakura's father, a widower, and the Hokage. So not too different? Or a lot- depending on how you see it.
