Chapter 2

3rd Person POV

Five Years

It's been five years since Pein and Konan had given away their daughter. Five years since they saw her, spoke to her, touched her, hell even seen her.

They could hardly call themselves parents!

They missed everything so far, all the firsts. First steps, first words, first actual meal, first fall, first tears.

The most important parts, the most memorable of ones.

And they hated every second of it.

But back in Konoha, everything was different, the exact opposite.

Mebuki took pictures of everything. Faces full of food, cake, mud. Smiles with no teeth, with teeth. Sleeping faces, sad faces, happy faces.

They documented everything they could, because they knew, that in about a years time, everything would change. Sakura would be told the truth, and they weren't sure how she would react to it.

Mebuki and Kizashi's biggest fear, was that they'd lose their daughter sooner than they were originally supposed to.

Little Sakura was out and about the village, roaming the streets of the place she grew up in.

Everything was nice, for the most part.

The other kids her age never wanted to play with her. They always made fun of her hair, or her forehead.

She didn't know what was so wrong with it. Sure it was a little bigger than most of the kids her age, but she didn't think in was enough for them to completely ignore her or make fun of her.

She had friends once, she supposed. Their names were Namikaze Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and his twin sister Uchiha Kimiko.

But Sasuke went along with the crowd and chose to ignore her, convincing his sister to do the same and hang out with his new friends.

And as for Naruto, good ol'e Naruto.

He was the only one who would still talk to her, but he had other friends too, and if she ever felt like he hung out with her too much, Sakura would insist that he spend time with his other friends too, further leaving her alone.

But she supposed it was also her own fault. Sakura never really tried making friends. She always felt so uncomfortable talking to the people of the village. She couldn't help but feel like she didn't belong, and she never new why.

It's because of that feeling of belonging somewhere else that's made her keep her distance from some people. Never wanting to get too close in fear of just leaving them.

And that's how she found herself alone, in a park, on a swing.

Well, she was alone, until a girl about her age with short blue hair came crying.

One second she was silently crying the next she was screaming to the world.

Yelling about how she wasn't weak, that if her father had just tried to give her a chance and teach her, she'd learn. She cursed her other family members for judging too quickly and not having the patience for her.

She screamed and cried until her throat went raw and all that came was silent cries of agony.

Sakura didn't know what to do, talk to her or leave her be. At first she had decided to leave the obvious private moment by herself but the squeak of the swing after she stood up alerted her presence to the girl.
