-5 Years Earlier-

The forest was quiet, not a sound was to be heard for miles upon miles, and then the soft rustling of clothes as two men appeared garbed in robes, none of their features could be seen as they traveled through the forest at high speed.

They had just committed the ultimate sin, just hours earlier by killing off Yukina and stealing her newborn child from her arms, in their eyes, the child was a demon but neither had been able to kill the baby instead choosing to take her somewhere she would grow up normally.

Covering their tracks well so they couldn't be followed, the man holding a bundle in his arms looked down with disbelief in his gaze "Hey are you sure this is Yukina's kid" he asked suddenly only to get scolded for speaking.

"Be quiet fool, or do you want to wake her" the other hissed just as a tiny cry emitted from the bundle, both men had to stop on a branch and so they peered down at the bundle revealing a little girl with pink hair and emerald eyes.

They shared a look before continuing on, still having some ways to travel "And yes the girl is of Yukina and that demon's blood" the second sneered out, they were only remnants of the once proud Kamizuru clan but now they were short a leader.

Soon they approached the Leaf Village, but neither dared to enter especially with the night guard, so they left the little girl where she would be found and hid themselves within a tree, hours passed until finally a patrolling anbu spotted the bundle as the girl began to cry.

"Hey what's a baby doing here" a boy with silver hair and one onyx eye the other covered called out before scooping the squalling child into his arms, young Kakashi Hatake quickly spun on his heel after making sure someone would go search in the forest and headed to the Hokage's office.

Though the search came up empty as the two men were long gone, having disappeared the minute the girl had been found, neither of them were heard from again, as for the little girl, Kakashi took her straight to the Hokage.

Hiruzen peered at the pink haired child with trepidation in his gaze, who was she, where had she come from and most importantly was why had she been deliberately placed outside the gates so that she would be obviously found.

Kakashi was also wary but slowly rocked the child in his arms and the tiny girl let out a yawn "We looked Lord Hokage but no one found anything" Kakashi explained bouncing the child now when rocking proved to be ineffective.

Sighing Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and released it slowly, at the last second though he turned his head so that the girl didn't inhale any of the smoke "There is little we can do now, take the child to the orphanage" he dismissed Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded his head and left in a puff of smoke, settling matters with the woman in charge of the orphanage, the child was taken from his arms and placed in a room with the other children, it would be years later that Kakashi would once again encounter the pink haired girl.

As he left, he couldn't help but wonder who would abandon their own child, though his mind soon drifted to other things, Kakashi having been dismissed for the night headed home and crawled into bed, falling asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

-2 years later-

Sakura sulked, she was only two but she had a better sense of awareness than the other children at the orphanage, the reason for her sulk though was because she had been caught once again trying to escape and had been placed in time out.

The other kids didn't understand and they all laughed and jeered at her, tugging on her pretty pink hair and larger than usual forehead, Sakura couldn't stand it any longer, she would get out of her no matter what and that was a vow she couldn't break.

Once the woman in charge of the orphanage let her out of her room, Sakura smiled as sweetly as any two year child could, though deep within the depths of her emerald greens held a smugness, Sakura was devious and had spent the entire time in time out plotting to escape.

Only this time, Sakura would make sure to not be caught, scowling at the other children, she sneakily crept towards the window that was always open, relaxing her body, Sakura leaned against the wall for sometime carefully watching everything that went on around her.

Roughly half an hour later Sakura spotted the opening she needed as all the children were called in for the daily adoption line up, she had no intentions of going, the woman in charge payed Sakura no mind and completely forgot about her.

This gave Sakura a few minutes to scale the wall to the little window sill and slid through the still open window and with that she was free from her personal hell, Sakura jumped down to the ground, wiggling her toes in the grass for a moment then sprinted.

All the way to the village she went and when she felt she was far enough away, Sakura pumped her arm in victory "Awesome-sauce, I can't believe I actually made it that time" she stuck her tongue out and pulled her eyelid down in the direction of the distant building.

For a child of her age, she was more articulate than any of the other children, it gave Sakura the advantage usually, finished with her little victory taunt, Sakura peered around and headed for the first place she could find to hid her from sight.

At the orphanage the woman in charge was raving mad, the little brat had done it again only this time Sakura had completely escaped, oh how she wished she was a ninja then it would make locating the girl ten times easier.

But alas she was not and thus she could not find the girl no matter how long and hard she searched, it never occured to her that Sakura had gone to the village and therefore the girl was completely forgotten as the years passed.

Back in the village, Sakura found an alley to use as shelter, along the way she had pilfered through trash and found tons of old blankets torn and ratted they still provided an excellent cover, as Sakura bedded down in a box for the night one last thought crossed her mind.

'I hope someday I'll find a family' Sakura thought inwardly, no sooner had she thought that, she fell asleep, though in nearly three years, she would find that her seemingly random wish would be given to her, afterwards Sakura fell asleep.
