79A/N: MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST READ! This story was made by Val. Her email address is secretxwishez at hotmail dot com (couldn't type the actual link... ffnet like.. deletes it or something...) if u wanna reach her. I decided to put this on here using just the Naruto characters… replacing the names. That's it. I didn't change ANYTHING. Yes so all the grammatical errors, if any, aren't mine. Okay, I added some commas… haha but, that's just a natural instinct when is see there is a need for commas and capitalization. Yeahh… just thought some of you ppl want to read it Naruto style (: lol. I changed the parts into chapters, making the chapters longer than the parts, but I didn't change any writing. While reading, just like the original site, listen to "To Zanarkand." It's a Final Fantasy X song. It really matches this story. Yes a sad song. Please listen to it. It'll make this story more dramatic (: and hopefully u'll like it! AGAIN I DID NOT WRITE THIS!

What I did for Love
By: Val NOT ME
Chapter 1
June 17,1999
My name is Haruno Sakura. I'm 19, still very young, but I am dying. Not right now, but my life is slowly fading away as I'm writing my story. At this moment, I'm sitting at 'our' spot. Mine and Uchiha Sasuke, the love of my life.
The sun is slowly beginning to set over the lake. I took a glance at my reflection in the water. My outside looks have changed drastically within the past few months, but the water reflected the true me. Inside, I'm still the same person.
I have done and given so much for love but never once, have I received it back from Sasuke. There are times that I wanted to tell him everything that I've done for him and make him love me back. But I can't.
Love is not selfish.
So I did what felt right. I keep giving Sasuke my love and I never asked for his love in return. Even though I'll leave this world pretty soon, my love for him will still remain.
My story begins when I first met Sasuke six years ago on this one fateful day. It all started out…
October 3, 1993
"You better come back here you good for nothing brat!"
I covered my ears with my palms. That was my stepmother calling me. Her voice sounds murderous and I didn't want to face her today. She had slapped and hit me too much already. I'm afraid I can't take it anymore so I hid in my closet.
I peeked through the crack in my closet and saw my stepmother with a really pissed off look on her face. She was holding that stick that I'm always afraid of. I winced thinking about how much it would hurt if she hits me with it again.
I'm just thirteen, and whoever said 13 was an unlucky number, they were right. My mom had died when I jaws just turning ten. Before she died she told me that I was the most beautiful girl in the world and how proud she was to be my mother. She said even though she'll be gone, her love remains with me always.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. 'If you love me mommy, how can you be so selfish to leave me?' So now when I had turned 13, my dad had married Ema Kogure, who is my step mom today. She was a cold-hearted woman who tortured me all day. Any self-esteem I had for myself was shattered and I was living a nightmare.
My closet door suddenly opened.
"There you are, you wicked girl!"
My mom started cussing at me as she pulled me out and threw me onto the floor. I began to tremble because I know what was going to happen next.
Whack whack whack.
I cried out in pain, but I knew no one is going to hear my cries. I desperately began to gasp for air. My heart was aching again. I couldn't breathe.
"Not again! Don't you see how much you're costing your father and me with your heart problems? If it wasn't for all these medical bills, we wouldn't be so poor now!"
I had this heart condition where air would suddenly shut off and I couldn't breathe. The doctors are trying to save me by giving me a respirator and pills, but they're not sure how much longer I'll be able to live. My dad, who was a pathetic excuse for a man, came in.
He looked down at me with sorrowful eyes. He held my step mom's arm lightly and said, "I think she had enough. You don't want her to have another attack. Calm down and let's have dinner."
"That's why I'm hitting her!" she yelled. "She got detention and stayed after school for an hour. She was supposed to be home to go buy food for dinner and make it. Your daughter is so evil. She wants me to starve or something!"
"I didn't get detention. The teacher wanted to talk to me about—"
But I was cut off by the whack of my step mom's stick. I cried silently in pain and turned away. I didn't want to look at her.
My dad said, "Well, dinner's just going to be a little late today. Sakura, say sorry to your mom."
Despite the pain, I managed to say, "Sorry mom. Please forgive me."
My dad handed me some money. "Here. Go buy food to make mee-yuk-gook tonight." My step mom's temper simmered down a little as my dad lead her out of my room.
I picked up the money and headed for the store. Ayame, the owner of the Hosono (this is ayame's voice actor's last name. I don't know ayame's last name… shes the girl in the ramen stand. I didn't know the guy's name, who is the real owner, so I'll make her the owner) Food Market, shook her head as I walked in. She knew what kind of hell I was going through. I finished my shopping and checked out.
"That'll be $3.49."
"What?" I asked. "Umm… Hosono-san. That's impossible. With all this stuff, it should be around $15."
"I know, Sakura." Ayame gave me a sad smile. "The exact price is $14.32. Why don't you keep the change for yourself?"
I opened my mouth in shock. "Hosono-san… I..I can't do that," I said as I handed him 20.
He only took five. "No, keep it. I know that step mom of yours doesn't give you any money."
I looked up at Ayame with tears in my eyes. Here she was, just a friend reaching out to me. I said thanks and headed for home.
