Chapter One- A Disturbing Past

Sakura never had a great childhood, at the age of 6, her parents died in a fire. After that, she was sent to an orphanage, which mysteriously burnt down. She was the only survivor from the accident. Then she was sent to several foster parents. Though she never found a real family, that she knew loved her. If anything they seemed afraid of her.

No one knew the reality of her dark past. Not even she knew the full extent of it. However the things she did understand about her past haunted her, causing her nightmares, in which stopped her from falling asleep for more than a few minutes. So as time went on dark rims appeared around her eyes, from the lack of sleep. She got used to sleepless nights and instead of trying to fall asleep (because if she did, she would wake up having terrible dreams of the night her parents died) she focused on drawing and painting pictures.

Sakura was an unsual girl, even from birth. She had beautiful long flowing pink hair and sparkling green eyes. She had a smile that made even the saddest people, happy again. Her parents cherished her and called her their little 'blossom'. Unfortunately after the death of her parents, Sakura seemed to lose her smile. The light she seemed to emmit when she was a child, went out and there was only sadness for a time. Then she found happiness with a certain nun at the orphanage. Her name was Sister Chiyo. She seemed to take a shine to Sakura and brought the light back to the pinkette's eyes. Sakura was happy again, knowing that she was wanted and was loved, but then 4 years later. A fire broke out in the orphanage and Sister Chiyo, along with every person in the orphanage, except Sakura, were reduced to ashes. After that Sakura lost all emotions she ever felt. She found it best just to stay quiet and distant from everyone; since anyone she got attached to seemed to end up a pile of ashes.

For a time people thought, that Sakura may have set it on fire; since it was not the first time she had been involved in a fire. However that suspicion soon vanished and Sakura was sent to several foster parents. None of them liked her that much, so she was moving about quite a lot and never made any friends. She didn't care though, she didn't want to get attached to anyone ever again.

Four years she spent moving from place to place, never really staying in with one family for more than a year. She was living in a place called Konoha with the Miyamoto family. They already had a child, a small boy by the name of Ryuu. They treasured him like Sakura's parents had her. The only reason the family had welcomed Sakura into their lives' was because they felt sorry for the poor girl.

She had been with them for over six months now and she had been going to a school named Konoha High school. Sakura at this time was 14 years old. Her birthday was only a couple of weeks away. She had no friends at the school and during the days off she would spend her time painting. The Miyamoto family tried to help the girl several times, but in all truth they were partially afraid of her. They knew she had issues sleeping and at one point took her to therapy sessions. Unfortunately Sakura wouldn't speak. She wouldn't let anyone in. She was scared that if she let them in, then they would die in a fire. Just like her parents and Sister Chiyo.

Once Sakura's foster parents had stopped pestering her to open up, she relaxed a little and carried on with her life.

Until one day, a few days after her birthday, Sakura was at school, in the middle of class, when she felt exhuastion overwhelm her. It was strange to her, she had gotten used to not sleeping and never felt tired, but nevertheless her eyes felt heavy and she started to drift off.

A few seconds later she felt warmth all around her and then heard someone scream and then silenced. She opened her eyes to find fire all around her. It was closing in fast! Everyone in the classroom had either been engulfed by the flames or slashed by something. There was blood all around. Seeing the blood made Sakura's eyes cloud over. She sat in the corner of the classroom, clenching her head, as horrible sights flashed through her mind. All the while the flames engulfed everything, turning it all into ash. Sakura rocked back and forth singing the song her mother sang to her, to calm her down when she was upset. When Sakura finished the song her, she blacked out and fell unconcious.

In her mind she could feel the intensity of the flames. The heat growing stronger. All of a sudden she heard a scream and the everything went cold.

When she woke up again, a man with a fire helmet was holding her and looking at her. He had a concerned look on his face, but that soon turned to relief, when Sakura opened her eyes. "Oh thank goodness you're alive. Thought we'd lost you for a minute there, kiddo," he said to her smiling. He put her on the ground and she sat up rubbing her head. She had the most terrible headache. The man turned to the other firemen and some policemen, who were investigating what happened. "Hey! I've got a survivor over here!" he yelled. The policemen turned and looked at her.

They spent a while questioning Sakura and she told them, what she remembered about the fire and said she had no idea how it started or stopped. She was very confused to here that the fire had stopped before the fire brigade arrived. The policeman who questioned her, gave her a look of concern. Sakura noticed that people all around were looking at her, either glaring, looking concerned or looking afraid of her.

After that Sakura was sent to court, where she was found guilty for arson. They said that she was too disturbed about her past and she was declared insane. She was sentenced to the Konoha Mental Institution, where she was to stay until declared officially cured of her trauma.
