Sakura's POV

--

Moving into a different orphanage was the same as always. I awaited in the rusty carriage as it shook while it galloped to my new orphanage, were new orphans would stare at me,

Look at me differently because of my stupid pink hair and green eyes,

Then they would ignore me, and whisper, maybe even get into trouble.

But even though everyone treated me badly, i would still smile, for some odd reason.

With effort, i sat up and peeked through the crack of the carrige door, the moon was glowing and the stars were glittering, i had never seen anything as beautiful as the night sky, it was very rare in this area mostly covered with Grey clouds. I took a moment to think while staring at the midnight sky.

I, Sakura Haruno, the 16 year old, freakishly pink-eyed and green haired orphan has been yet sent to another orphange because of an unfortunate mistake that i didn't make. For some reason, the others orphans dont like me. It had always been the same when i moved from orphanage to orphanage, someone would try and get me into trouble, thus selling me and moving me to another orphanage, before getting beaten. This was my fifth orpahanage.

I shivered as the cold breeze rushed into the crack, and tried to loosen the grip the ropes that tied my wrists, and ankles together roughly. They were piercing my skin and were extremely uncomfortable. The duct tape on my mouth wasn't helping either. The men had thrown me into the carriage in the most uncomfortable position. My back against the wall, and my arms tied behind my back, i was lying half on my butt and my legs were tied together. The ride seemed like hours even though i had gotten into the carraige only fifteen minutes ago. I tried to relax, and wondered what my mom and dad were doing up in heaven. Even though i never really remembered my mom and dads faces, because they died when i was only 3 i still wondered and thought about them. Were they watching over me? What did they look like?? I would get dreams frequently about my parents, although i could never see there faces, it was all blurry, then i would see a flash of lightning, then i would wake up crying. Yes i am a crybaby!

I also hated thunderstorms, especially at night because i would never get to sleep. It would always remind of my nightmares. In the morning i would get punished for dozing off while working. I wish thunderstorms never existed, though it was silly to wish fo since i was in an area were thunderstorms happened frequently. This place was like hell for me, though i cant choose were i want to live. People buy me, and sell me. For me life was simply unfair.

My eyelids began to droop slowly and i soon realized that i was falling asleep, i let slumber take over me...

--2hrs later--

"Get up y' little runt!"

I awoke awkwardly with a rough hand pulling my pink hair and lifting me up slightly, i winced at the pain. My eyes shot open to see the fat gruff man with no hair that shoved me into the carriage. My eyes widened as he took out a pocket knife. i squeezed my eyes shut and let out a whimper, only to find out that he was cutting off my ropes. He ripped off the duck tape on my mouth ever so harshly that i nearly screamed, then throught onto the cold stone ground.

"Get up!" he repeated more annoyance in his voice. I meekley got up, and immedielty the cold began to sink into my feet since i had no shoes. The wind ripped through my rags making me shiver, and my eyes begged for me to close once again, as i yawned. I hadn't gotten much sleep. I didnt realized that i was going so slow until the man grabbed my ragged collar and literally dragged me to the entrance. He knocked the door loudly, and afew seconds later the door swung open to reveal a women just as ugly looking as the man standing next to me. I inwardly giggled because the woman had a mustache and a mole the size of a walnut (okay so im exaggerating a bit) the mole was big okay? The lady's traveled to me in digust. She was probably looking at my stupid pink hair again. The women gave the man to what looked like money, it was green paper, so i assumed it was. I wanted to pounce on the man, grab his money and run, but the guy probably had some kind of gun in his pocket or something. After the man left, the lady/man pushed me in and slammed the door shut.

"Stupid orphan coming in this time of night" she/he grumbled locking the door and turning to me. I stole a glance at the clock and saw that it was 3.00am in the morning. The lady spoke and interrupted my thoughts "Be up at 6:00am straight when i wake you idiots up, you will receive your chores by my directions, from 6:00am till 12:00pm get a 10 minute break, then receive new chores from 12:10pm till 6:00pm where you will receive supper, then go straight to bed. Do you understand?"

"Hai onii-sama" i replied then yawned. The lady glared at me for some reason and asked "did you dye your hair" I inwardly rolled my eyes. Do i have the money to dye my hair?? No. Instead i sweetly replied "No onii-sama. She grunted "call Kae-sama. I smiled then yawned "Hai Kae-sama" Hmm, Kae, was that a girls name or a boys name?? Was a he/she a boy or girl? I had to figure that out in the morning. Right now i needed rest.

The lady led me to a door and opened it quietly, the room was plain. It had no furniture of course and just consisted of a wooden floor. Many orphans were sprawled out on small mats curled up in a ball, sleeping peacefully. I quietly went in and spotted a spare one in the far right corner. The door shut rather loudly yet it didnt affect the orphans slumber. I tiptoed to the far edge and crawled into a ball on the mat like all the others. The room was so cold i began to shiver slightly. But that didnt stop me from falling into a deep slumber...


Sasukes POV

--

Quickly, quietly and swiftly, i jumped from tree to tree making my way to Konoha village. My Old home. I had to make a stupid report to Tsunade about the whereabouts of that snake bastard. I really don't know where Orochimaru is, he just keeps re-appearing and disappearing repeating that someday that he will have my body. He gave me this stupid curse mark on my neck that mostly reacts whenever i'm close to him, lose control of my body sometimes, but mostly i just get this pain on my shoulder. That bastard. I assume that he wants my sharingan, the blood trait that the Uchiha clan possesses, but refers to it as my body. What a sick man.

Ever since i was little i had sworn to kill that man i call my brother. Though i refer to him less of a brother and more of a monster. The murderer of the Uchiha clan, deserves to die a painful death and then burn in hell for all i care. (A/N: Srry Itachi luvers! I dont hate Itachi, infact im a BIG fan!, i never suspected he was evil! But in the story, hes sort of an evil maniac.)

When i turned 15 i moved out of Konoha and bought a place on the out skirts of the Leaf country to fulfill my long-term goal. I promised to come back after he was dead. The dobe threw a fit and Tsunade-sama didn't agree with it at first. But i told them that there was no stopping me, so she agreed but made me swear to come back once a month to report on where-abouts and en-counters of Orochimaru, and my progress in finding Itachi. Orochimaru had of course been looking for me ever since he out that damn curse mark on my neck. I guess that was the reason why Tsunade-sama didnt want me living outside of Konoha when some gay snake retard was hunting me down. The pain kills me whenever he's nearby. Itachi has seemed to of disappeared. I cant find him anywhere, to my dismay.

The wind started to pick up faster, and i started moving at a quicker pace. It was un-usually cold this night, i could see my breath. I don't i will be able to return back to my home on the out-skirts this night since its so cold. I focused for more chakra to my feet to go faster.

I reached the gates of Konoha to see the two men guarding it asleep. Some guard they are. I walked right passed them, without saying a word and headed to the the Hokages office. The lights were stil on so i assumed she was still there, though i knew that she would be cranky at this time of night. Now reaching the door to the Hokages office i knocked sharply.

"Shizune wheres my coffee?!" a cranky voice called from the office. I assumed that meant 'come in' so i walked in and closed the door behind me. Papers were stacked everywhere on her desk and 3 cups of coffee were stacked on the side. Tsunade growled "Uchiha, what are you doing in my office so late??" I glanced at the clock that read 2:00am. "Hn" i replied looking away stubbornly. Really i just felt like pissing her off at 2:00am in the morning.

Tsunade slammed her fist on her desk cracking it in half with her immense human strength. "UCHIHA! YOU WILL USE FULL SENTENCES IN MY PRESENCE OR YOU WILL BRING ME COFFEE!!" she bellowed. I smirked at her lost of patience and ignored her little outburst saying "I still dont know the whereabouts of Orochimaru yet, though he was near by two weeks ago because my curse mark started to burn."

Tsunades anger subsided and immediatly she asked "where?"

"In the land of waves" i replied.

I could tell that Tsunade wanted to ask what i was doing in the land of waves, but immediately dropped it and asked. "Any signs of Itachi yet?" I growled "No, he's still hiding along with the akatsuki, i haven't been able to track any of them down either"

She nodded "Alright, thats all i need to hear, report to me next time with some useful information" I glared, "Hn, watever" i said walking out of the office.

I headed to my old apartment where i would be staying for the night, it was probably really dusty since i had not been there for a while. Making sure i had my keys, i walked up to the door, un-locked it and walked in. As i guessed, the place was really dusty, there was probably a few bugs roaming around, but i was too tired to care i dragged my body to the un-touched bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.


A/N: Okay so im done the first chapter! Tell me what you think about it! Give me constructive criticism NOT flamers! Was it too short? Too long? Cause i was wondering if i should have put Chapter 2 with Chapter 1...oh and Sasuke is not a missing-nin in this story cause he has Tsunades permission to leave village too kill his brother. He reports too her every month, and Im kinda not doing Team 7 and stuff in this story. Oh and Sakura is an orphan and shes just moved in too a new orphanage, i decided to make every other orphan hate her because she looks more unique than them. Yea its a little different the actual plot, is coming up soon. Oh and the reason why i named this story the innocent and the tainted is because Sakura is for innocennt and Sasuke is tainted with revenge, put the two together and BAM! We have a couple! Hee Hee! PLS R&R!!
