Hey there guys! Well, I know I have a few stories up and am having trouble updating them, mostly because I'm a skilled procrastinator, please bear with it. This is a story I wrote a while back and will be changed into a multi chaptered fic, but I hadn't counted on that in the beginning, therefore the chapters will probably be dished out at a slow leisurely pace. I am currently posting the first chapter that has been rewritten.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
AU, SasuxSaku. The format of the story or the way it's written may be a bit confusing to follow because it was originally choppily written. Please excuse any grammar mistakes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~000~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, Sasuke! Where are ya going?" called out an obnoxious blonde.
"Hn, when did I ever have to answer to you?" I supplied coldly.
To be honest I was very exhausted and had no time for meandering about with an overzealous Naruto. I needed somewhere peaceful, quiet, and quite frankly less bothersome. School had just let out and we came out of an exam that proved to be quite vexing, even for a student of my caliber.
"Dobe, please leave me alone. I'm tired." I quietly complained, as I pinched the bridge of my nose feeling a headache started to creep up.
"Okay, fine," he grumbled off talking to himself in the distance. I sighed in aggravation as I contemplated the length of time it would take me to reach my home before nightfall. I pondered if it'd take me less time to go through the park. I jogged my way towards central park, a popular place among the adolescents of Konoha, as I trotted along the sidewalk, a pink heap of something caught my eye. Upon closer inspection the pink heap turned into a rosette haired girl sprawled out on the bench.
At first glance I assumed she was napping, but then again the rise and fall of her chest were not entirely evident. Paranoia struck me hard and I wondered if she might have passed out and was in need of aid of some sort. I crouched down in front of her, 'how should I awaken her?' I asked myself what would be the least intrusive form of physical contact. I first came up with poking her awake but then decided it may not be enough movement to awaken her, so i nudged her shoulder instead. The supple and soft skin felt warm and smooth against my fingers; at least her warmth was confirmation that she wasn't dead.
I nudged her once again with my hand, and her eyelids fluttered open half-way. I couldn't look away from her verdant gaze, I felt trapped underneath her stare. When she first spoke I was lost in the feel of her soft spoken words.
"Help me up," she pleaded weakly. I obeyed her command and lifted her up by the waist. She clung to me like a frightened kitten. Her body was light in my grip as her arms wrapped themselves around my neck.
"I'm too weak, please just kiss me," when those words left her small pert lips I almost dropped her from shock. She grasped my face between her small pale hands.
"Are you in need some sort of medical assistance?" I enunciated clearly in case she might've fallen on her head and started speaking nonsensical words from trauma and not her normal psyche.
"Please just do it."
I didn't know what was happening or what she thought was happening. It was all too confusing and peculiar. I couldn't help but feel that this was a moment in my life when I didn't really have a chance to refuse. Whether it was fate or destiny not allowing me to choose my own path in life and not kiss an absolute stranger in the middle of a park; I would never really find out. I felt my face grow hot as I leaned forward and her soft lips touched mine; there was an odd feeling in the pit of my stomach. Then my eyes widened as I retook in her appearance. She was adorned with pale pink cat ears and a tail. I could hear her purring as she held my face between her palms. She scrutinized me with her large round eyes.
"Hi, my name's Sakura Haruno," she spoke with a high pitched soft tone of voice.
I gawked at her, didn't she realize it wasn't normal to have cat ears and a tail?! Her head tilted a little to the right as she said, " you know it'd really help if I knew the name of my master." she pouted childishly.
"What? What the heck are you talking about now?" my voice rose an octave, "you have cat ears!-and a tail!"
She haughtily replied, "Hmph, I thought you'd find it attractive!" Her face still in a pout, "well, this is how I look master, in my true form," she supplied as an afterthought.
"Listen to me, I am not your master, I don't even know who you are!"
She smiled, "Nope, Senpai told me that you'd find me here, Senpai clearly stated that whomever the individual who awakens me shall be is to be dubbed my master."
I groaned, "you've got to be kidding me, is this some kind of elaborate joke?" I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. I'd dropped her onto the bench when I'd been surprised to see the sudden transformation into a feline.
"I mean- come on, those can't really be cat ears-I get it now, you must be cosplaying an anime and you want me to play along. You cosplayers sure are dedicated to your art form," I chuckled awkwardly as I stepped back a few steps. Yeah that definitely had to be it.
"No, honest! I would never joke around with my master. Senpai clearly stated that you were my master!" she shrieked in a panic. "Please don't leave me master! You haven't even told me your name yet!"
I sighed pondering the dangers in giving my name away to a beautiful but eccentric girl.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha," I ground out.
"What a sexy name!" she gushed as she held her cheeks in her palms and began to mewl.
I blushed, "I'd really like to head home now if you don't mind, and I suggest you do the same."
I walked away at a brisk pace, hoping against all odds that this fanatic didn't follow me home.
I noticed my block was nearing, when I felt a sharp tug on the back of my shirt.
"Please, Sasuke-kun."
I looked back and saw her standing there with a pleading look on her face, I arched an eyebrow at her confusedly and wrenched her hand from my shirt. I made a mad dash towards my house as fast as I could manage. This was just too much for me to handle, who did she think I was? Calling me her master like that; we'd never even met before, and I wasn't all too fond of that S&M thing Naruto was always talking about in his perverted novels. Not to mention she was dressed up as a cat, what was up with that? I didn't know whether to lend her my bed or to get her a litter box. I sighed in contentment as I opened the door to my home and felt the welcoming warmth.
I chanced a glance at the window and noticed the fat droplets beginning to pound mercilessly against the window pane. An irksome thought managed to worm it's way into my brain, 'I hope that girl managed to make it back to her house in time.'
The thought of a warm and relaxing shower made my body shiver in anticipation, after such a grueling day I really needed to find a way to let loose.
I let the warm water pound away any tension in my back. After I felt sufficiently relaxed and clean, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist. I walked out of the bathroom, drying the wet tips from my hair. I took a glance at the window and then I saw her. I huffed in annoyance rather than fear, that I seemed to have my own personal stalker. She had the audacity to follow me to my home, and in this weather too. I groaned aloud in frustration. Taking a pair of blue boxers and a long sleeved t-shirt; I opened my front door. She laid there on my front porch in a fetal position with no feline parts to be seen.
'huh..guess it must have been cosplay after all. What a strange girl, why can't she stop following me? She can't seriously believe that ridiculous story she spouted out earlier? I might as well take her in and provide some shelter if she's going to be this psychotically persistent.'
I sighed once again and stared down at her, she appeared to be napping. I picked her up my arms supporting her knees and back. Her clothes felt soaked and cold to the touch. I placed her by the fireplace and went to go get a towel. I wrapped the towel around her body to provide some warmth. Her face was pale and cold. A part of me began to worry, she should be fine right? The worst that could possibly happen is that she'll just get a cold right? A fever of some sort maybe? I saw her begin to shiver, and guilt gnawed deep within my gut. I reluctantly began to rub her arms attempting to create some friction. Her body temperature didn't seem to be getting any better. I hugged her close to my body, hoping my body heat would somehow be able to regulate hers. She didn't seem to be regaining any consciousness either.
'What do I do?'
My mind started to run around in circles. What if she dies here in my arms? What I be to blame for murder? Would the police think I was some kind of jerk who would just let a woman die out in the freezing rain. I began to panic as I kept rubbing her arms. I tried to recall the events that happened today.
What had she been babbling on about again? Was anything she said even relevant to what's happening to her right now? Does she have some kind of condition? Something about a weak form? Gahh, what the hell was she even talking about?! I aggravatingly scratched my scalp.
'Oh, wait...that kiss.'
The heat began to rise beneath my cheeks at the memory. Don't tell me that's supposed to help her? I groaned and looked to the ceiling. What it count as sexual assault? Oh kami, why was this happening to me right now. I sighed, 'what the hell, I don't seem to have much of a choice right now.'
'Fine', I thought begrudgingly.
I turned her face towards me and gently pressed my lips to her own. It was a soft sweet kiss, at least I'd like to think it was. It was chaste and quick, but I felt her start to heat up and then attempted to pull back when I felt something soft brush against my leg, but her hands held firmly to my face, keeping my in place. I pried her hands off and took a deep breath of much needed oxygen.
"Sasuke-kun, your face is warm and pink."
Her cat ears perked up in interest.
"Sakura-san, please tell me you're just an avid cosplayer."
She shook her head in denial, "No, I'm not and you've got to believe me!"
"Please touch them", she gestured to her pink fluffy ears.
I was very hesitant and wholly in denial, and completely afraid to find out the truth.
She grasped my hands and led them over to her ears. I petted them lightly and she mewled in response, startling me in the process. She wasn't kidding, they felt so real and furry. They began to twitch and that's when I began to freak out a little. I pinched the corner of her ear to see if it was thick and maybe filled with stuffing, but I could feel the cartilage. She yelped when I pinched her ears and batted my hands away. I exhaled loudly, I guess I could probably go along with this for a couple of days. It's not like I had anything better to do with my time.
"Sakura-san, I-I really don't know how this is going to work, but I guess I'll accept the role of your master...at least for now." She giggled and embraced me tightly. I felt the heat radiating across my face. We really needed to go over some boundaries.
" Thank you, Sasuke-sama."
I was unaccustomed to the suffix and it made me cringe a little. "Sakura-san, I really don't know what it is you want me to do."
"You don't have to do anything; I will be the one to grant any wish and desire that Sasuke-sama has. If you wish it; I can be your slave, girlfriend, lover, pet, anything you desire and I will fill in the role."
I couldn't even fathom what was coming out of her mouth. Her explanation was out of place and just downright wrong. I hadn't a need for anything of the sort. I wasn't some kind of sick pervert that was going to take advantage of some girl who was probably sick in the brain and just seemed to have some kind of genetic abnormality. I was vaguely curious why she would do so much for someone she knew very little of.
"Why exactly are you doing this Sakura-san? What do you have to gain from such a role?"
I grasped her shoulders and looked into her eyes searching a little desperately for the answer.
She looked back with her deep sea green ones and told me,"I was destined to find you and be yours."
"You are my master and I want to be loved even if you're just using me in the process, all I desire is your happiness." Her arms wrapped themselves around my torso. I was more than a little uncomfortable.
"Sakura-san, but you don't even know me."
"Then we can spend time together!" she exclaimed enthusiastically.
I agreed in reluctance, somehow I just couldn't turn her away.
"Alright then! First things first, what role would you desire for me to take?"she asked in anticipation.
"I-I don't know," I blushed. I was getting really sick of these mood swings.
"Hm, this is tough. How can I pleasure you Sasuke-sama when I don't even know what you want me to be?"
I clutched at my nose tightly before I could get a nosebleed. If Naruto were in my position he'd be milking this opportunity for everything it was worth. Luckily I had found her and not him.
"You know what? I think I'll start with being your best friend, and then I can work my way up from there," she smiled softly.
She hugged me again and pecked me on the cheek with her velvety soft lips. The heat rose to my cheeks for the millionth time that day.
"Umm, Sakura-san are you warm enough?" I only wished to deter her from sticking to me to closely, because to be honest if she wasn't warm enough I didn't know what I was going to do. I was already sweating from the prolonged contact by the fire.
"Sasuke-sama, I think 'as friends' we should sleep together."
My eye twitched involuntarily, there was no way in hell I was letting her jump to friends with benefits. She needed to slow down and take a reign on her hormones.
"I'm afraid of lightning and the dark", she cat mewled in response.
'Ohhh, she meant sleep sleep, as in eyes closed same bed.' I groaned, "I don't know Sakura-san, we barely know each other and-"
"Sasuke-sama, please, if I want to get closer to my master, this is one of the closest ways to do that."
I sighed and nodded grudgingly.
"Ooh, I like these", she tugged gently on my boxers. I twitched in an irritated response.
"Do you have more of these?" she asked innocently.
"Uh, yeah I do."
"May I wear them? They look really comfortable."
I could feel my eyebrow twitch, although I would suggest that she wear female clothes, I didn't own any, and apparently neither did she. For now it would seem I would have to concede with her request.
"Yes! I get to wear Sasuke-sama's clothes!" she jumped happily.
I got up and asked her to follow me to my room.
~~~~~~~~~~000~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had bequeathed a pair of my boxers over to her and a blue t-shirt I had. She apparently didn't have any sort of dignity because when I handed her the clothing she thought she had to change right there, as in right there in front of me. After my short nosebleed episode I had told her to go change in the bathroom. She nodded and went and changed. She came out with my blue shirt reaching her knees and my boxers underneath. I sighed and climbed into my bed.
The weather hadn't seemed to be getting any better. The rolling thunder seemed to shake the walls with its deep rumble. I groaned, luckily it was the weekend and I didn't have school until Monday. I felt her climb onto the bed.
"Sasuke-sama, I'm scared."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a little thunder. No big deal."
I felt her hands wrap around me from behind. I heard her whimper against my shoulders. 'Ugh, she's so annoying.' There was an exceptionally loud crack of thunder and I felt her jump. I huffed indignantly and turned around in her embrace and let her cling to me.
"Sasuke-sama, it's loud", her ears began to quiver.
"Sakura-san, calm down."
I petted her hair lightly, hoping some form of contact would calm her down. Her cat ears twitched a little under my fleeting touch.
"Here, let's use this time to get to know each other," I smiled, my endeavor to be more consoling.
The corners of her mouth twitched up slightly. "Okay, you first Sasuke-sama."
"Fine. I wear a lot of blues and blacks so I guess you could say I favor those colors."
"Wow, what about Sasuke-sama's life? Does Sasuke-sama have a girlfriend?"
I shook my head, "No. I don't, but there are girls at school who have crushes on me."
Her eyes widened fractionally, "Really? Wow. How is it that Sasuke-sama does not have a girlfriend then?"
"I'm not interested; I think it's a waste of time." I really wasn't kidding, I had never put much thought into romance. Most of the girls at school who had crushes on my were shallow and were only interested in my appearance, not in who I was as a person. Naruto was my closest friend and one of my only friends, the other guys at school weren't as fond of me as he was. I hadn't wanted to hang out with Naruto's friends in the first place because I knew what they thought of me. I was a bit anti-social, and was more interested in becoming the top of my class. I wanted to achieve a greater name for myself than my brother Itachi.
"Love is never a waste of time, Sasuke-sama." I rolled me eyes and ignored the wistful gleam in her eyes.
"Now it's your turn. Tell me more about you and your forms."
"Well, I don't really know much myself. I do know that my human form is weak, but I can still manage in it as a disguise. My true form is where I'm most flexible and durable."
"Why is it that you're always fainting in your human form?"
"I don't know. I haven't really tried to-well, I can't easily explain it. It's like when you run out of energy and get so tired and weak you can barely stand it. Sasuke-sama should know by now that I can only transform with a kiss."
"Hmm, that's pretty interesting and I wish I could ask you more but I seem to be getting quite sleepy. Tomorrow will be another day. Go to sleep, Sakura-san."
"Goodnight Sasuke-sama!"
She kissed me gently on the lips. My eyes widened and she turned into her human form. The ears and tail vanishing, she looked peaceful and calm with her eyes closed. I placed my forehead against her and fell into a deep sleep. Who knows? Maybe I'll wake up and all of this would have turned out to be some ridiculous dream.
'This deep feeling...it's getting stronger.'
'I wonder what it could be?
A bond?

Hey guys! In my older version I had written that this would be a oneshot, but that was a mistake and I plan to make this a multichaptered fic, I was told it would be greatly lacking as a stand alone, and I could definitely see why. I hope this story was to everyone's liking. I plan to update the next chapter in the near future, as soon as I get around to writing it. Thank you, for those that have taken the time to review or have even favorited the story. I will try my very best to submit the next chapter promptly. Sasuke is entirely OOC, but I hope some of you liked his change of character. I've always liked an embarrassed or confused Sasuke.
Sorry for any grammatical mistakes or flaws I may have overlooked, I am betaless. Review if you can please, would love to know your thoughts or predictions on the next chapters!
