Disclaimer: I don't own anything … waits that's not it's more of a :(… damn This chapter will explain Sakura's past… or make it a bit more clear, by the way, it's better if you listen to the song , while reading the flashbacks. The song is called "Angel" it may be under "Arms of an angel" This is a sadish chapter… T.T
Sakura walked into her house and set her stuff down by the door, and walked into the kitchen. Her mom was doing the bills, and saw Sakura's face. She had a sad, and thinking like expression on.
"Sakura?"
"Hm?"
"You okay?"
"Ami goes to Freedom, It brought back a few memories… that's all."
"It seems like more than that honey…"
"I'm fine…"
"Really, because if you're not…"
"I said I'm fine, mom, don't worry." She smiled half-heartedly.
"Well… okay then…" Sakura walked up to her room and got a box from the top of her closet. It was a small music box. She put the little box on her bed, she opened it and it played a familiar melody. (The song's called Angel). Flashbacks commencing…
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
"You're a waste of time, beat it you little bitch…" A bottle was thrown next to a crying six year old Sakura.
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
She ran out of the house while the neighbors called the police. Gunshots were heard, and the police barged into the house.
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
The paramedics came out with a bloody body, and her father in hand-cuffs.
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
Sakura placed flowers next to her mother's grave, and was lead away by a social worker.
You were pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
A ten year old Sakura was beating up some kid with her gang. And the police came, taking her back to one of her foster homes…
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
She looked into the room where her 'parents' were talking with the social worker. "I can't take this anymore… I'm sorry, but I just can't…" Her latest foster mother cried into her hands, as her husband consoled her. Sakura shook her head and slid against the wall onto the floor.
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
"She's perfect" two new foster parents looked at an eleven year old Sakura. "I'm Tsunade, and this is my husband Jiraiya, it's nice to meet you Sakura."
"Whatever… No one has been able to keep me for longer than a month" She scoffed and hopped in the car.
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
"Mom!!!! Dad won't leave me alooooone!!!!" A thirteen year old Sakura shouted and Jiraiya stopped poking her cheek. "I got you a present sweetie!" he handed her a little music box. "I love you Sakura, this was going to be for when you were older, but I couldn't wait…"
"Its beautiful dad…I love you too!" She kissed him on the cheek, "But, you're the one who wants me to be like super smart, so stop buggin me when I'm doing homework!" then shooed him out, lovingly.
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You were pulled from the wreckage
"DAD!!?!" A fourteen year old Sakura ran over debris of his work building. He was pinned underneath… "Daddy?..." Sakura asked bawling with Tsunade at her side. "Honey?... Jiraiya?" Tsunade stammered.
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
"I love you two… Tsunade, take care of our little girl. Sakura… (cough) be brave for your mom, and me… no tears now… (cough)" he wiped tears from each of their cheeks. "I love you two more than anything, and Sakura, I'll always be proud of you…"
"Dad…? DAD??!?!" Sakura rubbed his hand. Tsunade wept, and held on to her husband, Sakura did as well. He coughed, and did a slight chuckle " I said no tears remember?..."His breathing slowed… and eventually stopped…
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
End of flashbacks…
Sakura cried onto the little music box, and a few of the pictures.
" I miss you daddy…" Unknowingly her mother was leaning in the doorway and crying as well. Sakura looked up and her mom sat on the bed with her. She held her for some time. " I miss him too Sakura… I miss him too…"
Author's Note:I'm sooo sorry that it took so long to post this chapter, but my year hasn't been the best. First I had surgery, then they couldn't figure out what it was (not even Stanford could figure it out O.O), then they ran many tests, took lots of blood, and gave me 4 shots XP… They told me it wasn't cancer, but it may be so early that they can't tell. So then I got a CT scan, and was then told that something was wrong with my liver. But my doctor said it may be a mistake, so the took more blood to make sure. Guess what? THE LAB MADE A MISTAKE!!!!!! So I was pretty happy, until I got a cold… then the past few days I've had the flu… puking and all. This year has sucked TREMENDOUSLY!!!! But the surgery happened on July 31st, so it
S just been a crappy 3 months… T.T Anyhoo… enough about me, I'll try to update sooner next time. XD
