I'm Back!
I'm very sorry to those of you who have been waiting for me to update...and I have not... living in an orphanage really sucks.
Anyway! ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!
The Coming of Things Undeserved
The dirt road winded before Sakura as she looked out the one window in her buggy, listening to the slight "clip clop" of the horses against the ground. The fogginess was hard to see through, as they were approaching the Mist Village. Far from the sun of Kohana, Sakura felt horribly out of place. Everyone had told her that this was the hardest part of the journey, mostly because of robbers and other things that could hurt her. Sakura did believe it was the hardest, but not for the reasons they did. She believed it was the hardest, simply because she had to be alone with her thoughts.
Not wanting to sink into her memories, she started to sing softly to herself one of her favorite songs.
I was so happy when you smiled
Your smile breaks through the clouds of gray
Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep
Waiting with patience for the spring
When the flowers will bloom renewed again
Knowing theres more beyond the pain of today
All the scars from yesterday remain
You can go on living as long as your heart remains
You can't be born again but you can change
Lets stay together
Always
Flashback:
"MOM!!!! NO NO NO MOM PLEASE!!!"
Sakura could barley breathe as she hauled herself into the bathtub with her mother, turning her mother over and hugging her.
"MOM! MOM DON'T LEAVE ME PLEASE!!! MOMMY!!! WAKE UP!!!" came out her choked sobs, tears running into the bathtub and into the still warm blood.
"MOM...Mom..mommy...mum please don't leave me with that monster...please...I love you mom, don't leave."
There was no response from the cold, lifeless body that was her mother, and her head sagged, the pink hair that was drenched with blood becoming to heavy without a will to hold it up.
"Mom...thats why your hair was pink wasn't it? He made you soak it in your own blood so much that...oh mom."
(Break)
It was the day of her funeral, Sakura's will to live was just about gone. Her father had been taken away and killed by the authorities, and her relatives did not want her. She had no were to go. As she stared into a flickering flame and listened to her Aunt's over exaggerated sobs, Sakura began to plan what to do. She could run away couldn't she? Playing with the hem of her black dress, she then thought where she would run to...realizing she still had no place to go. Even as a child, logic had not evaded her. That was the truth.
"Sakura, it is your turn to see her."
Sakura hesitated slightly, then walked over to her mother's coffin. Laying there, so still, was the once beautiful woman known as Kagura Haruno.
Her pink hair had been left down and now framed her body all the way from the top of her head to her ankles. Her favorite dress had been put on, all of its glory flaunted as Sakura remembered how she had gone everywhere in that dress, how she had loved the simple shade of green was magnified so much by her lightheartedness. Barefoot and beutiful, Sakura smiled and said to her mother, gripping her hand "I'll avenge you mother...Even if it takes my whole life...I'll make it so you and I can speak one last time."

"Eh Meiss? Meiss??? We 'r heire meiss. Weire at yer destiaton"
The cab driver gazed at her as she snapped out of her thoughts.
"Oh, jeez I'm sorry sir...I just..."
The driver smiled kindly at her and said "Eiss Okee, I been through werse."
"Thank you so much...How much do I owe you?" asked Sakura, stepping out of the cab and taking out her purse.
"Nuting...I waz preepad byee yur menter."
"Ah...Thank you for the ride tho-" Sakura had turned as she spoke this, only to come face to face with a huge mansion.
Oh...My God..." she murmered under her breath.
"Have a Nice dayee meiss." said the cab driver as he slowly drove off, whistling a cheery tune.
"Yeah...See ya..." Sakura breathed, still awestruck by the huge mansion.
Sakura lumbered inside, her bags feeling ten times heaveir than they had previously been. Perhaps...it was just the nerves.
Taking a deep breathe, Sakura grabbed the huge doorknocker and gave it a huge knock on the door.
The sound echoed throughout the empty area like a gunshot, its largeness now surrounding Saklura as she weakly stepped away from the huge building.
And then the door opened.
