Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me, it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto and his group of helper peoples! ^_^ But I do own the somewhat original (I hope) idea for this story.

Author's Note: this is alternate universe, so it has nothing to do with the real storyline of Naruto, I just liked the idea of using the characters because…..I don't see any Naru-saku fics I can read to bide my time while I'm bored.

This prologue is short, I know but bear with me I'm trying to form some semblance of organization. The next chapter will be significantly longer, I promise.

Sakura and the Nine-tailed Fox Demon.

Once upon a time, a fox demon with nine tails decided he was bored. He came down from his mighty pedastal from the world of the gods onto a small kingdom called Konoha. For many days he caused destruction and chaos among the villages, bringing the kingdom down to its knees slowly. Until one day, the king of the land finally found a way to stop the demon. With a tired sigh, the king and the nine-tailed fox demon made a deal. Every year, a young virgin maiden would be sacrificed in turn the fox demon would leave the kingdom to rest.

Fifteen sacrifices later our tale begins…of the next young maiden who refused to submit to fate and the fox who fell in love.
