Chapter 1
-o-o-Eris: Goddess of Discord-o-o-
...
"Kendrikos fakos." Sakura muttered after seeing the last arrow she had launched pierced at the center of the practice target. She plastered a satisfied smile that had gone immediately after sparing a look at the grey-black sky. A storm is brewing, evidently seen by the pile of clouds building up that looked heavy and thick.
Cold wind chilled her as it touches her silky skin, making tiny hairs rise. "I hope you're not coming any time soon, Notus." she mumbled under shaky breath, clasping more firmly at her bow. "I still have to punish a tardy jerk today." The heavens appeared to understand her as it sends wind ruffling her hair. Which for her, was the God of the South wind himself.
Sasuke came panting, waited for his breathing to go back to normal again then put his hands on his pockets. "Hey Weirdo." he uttered sardonically as he encounters the girl's deadly glares. "What?" he asked, although he knew what the answer is; he just wants to annoy the pinkette.
The girl rolled a fist, narrowed her eyes on him and spoke in a controlled manner; "You want me to smack you?" after saying this, lightning jagged down from the sky behind her. It briefly put parts of her face into the shadows, almost like a silhouette. Her eyes glowed hatred in spite of the dark, like a furious cat ready to pounce in. She is seriously dangerous.
"SMACK is like a KISS right?" the Uchiha countered wittily then hunched his back a little and displayed a crabby look. But this just angered her more. She threw her bow which was on her right hand, out of despise. It plummeted like a boomerang that Sakura thought it would come back to her, but it landed on the grass. The thunder rolled, deafening them. To Sakura, it was a warning. A warning to not break an oath.
Sasuke frowned at the sight of the girl's face slowly softening; the dagger looks into cold expression, the twitches have gone but her arms crossed as if to prevent herself from raging. "Where in Hades have you been? Do you have any idea how long I have waited here? Too long that it took the weather to change!" As if to prove her point, lightning strike again. "Do you seriously think you are that special?"
"Then why didn't you leave?" Sasuke replied cynically, tired of explaining since he knew it wouldn't matter to her. Then an idea zap on his brain; an idea that would shake all the self-restraint she have. To start with; he showed her his all-girls-couldn't-resist type of smile. The girl's brow instantly met which confirmed that it (the smile) had an effect on her. "Do you wanna know how I make a noisy girl shut up?" he said, still displaying a naughty grin.
"Boy, are you nuts." Sakura said flatly, rolling her eyes. What is he doing? she thought, feeling a little nervous as the time passes. She almost bulged her eyes when she became aware of their distance. The guy is an inch away from her!
He looked at her intently. Eye to eye. "Wanna know?" still pressing on the question. He raised his hand to touch her hair, the girl stood frozen. His hands soon traveled from her hair to her chin, tilting it to make her look at him. He leaned and stopped halfway, studying her.
"Okay, how?" she asked, just a bit stoic. Mentally, she slapped herself. What if the Uchiha's serious? I shouldn't have dared him, her inner said regretfully. Unbeknownst to him, she's trembling inside. No one has been this close to her and the feeling's new to her.
His lips stretched, forming a familiar smile. Not a mischievous grin, but a smirk. The rain fell before them, but they stood there unmoving; eyes challenging...
...
"Mythology is a modern man's dreams…" Sakura mumbled the line on the hard cover; looking and caressing simultaneously the book she brought. It was one of her 'collections' of Myth books and definitely one of the firsts. Probably you've been thinking if she has thousands of Myth-related books at home? You bet.
She was walking wistfully or even gliding, along the corridor looking past at the students. The kind of reaction a myth book can draw out of her. It was nearly half an hour before classes start so she still have time to indulge in her 'other-worldly' activities.
"Hey, hurry up!" a random student at her back, yelled. That made her get back to the real world. She looked back to check if she's the one been barking at, and she's right. She made a humble nod and apologized at the pissed girl, even though she's not sure if she need to because; as far as she know, it is legal to walk slow. Right?
WHAM!
She just bumped or has been bumped by someone. Anyways, it doesn't matter anymore. "Ai!" she squeaked, Greek language just came out of her. A side part of her body is seriously aching. She have dropped her book because of that. "Hey, watch it! Are you blind?" she snapped angrily at the guy that is not familiar to her. He must be a new student. Oh no. "Where is it?" she uttered, alarmed. Her book is not on the floor! She begins to kneel down and look for the lost belonging, it must still be on the area.
"Uhm, hello?" the guy asked her, plastering a bored face while showing her the reading material she's looking for. Raven-hair and onyx eyes. That's what she observe upon looking at the teen. Well, that's aside from the fact that he is seriously handsome even on his unconcerned look. Is it only me or he's really radiating light? She immediately stand up and shove dirt on her knee. Impossible, he ought to have a golden hair to shine... Oh Sakura, get your head back to Earth!
Her jaw almost drop when she saw how the guy is holding her 'precious' book. "Hey, be careful with that! Give that to me!" she tried to snatch it but the guy raise it high, out of her reach; holding only 3-4 pages of the book! "I told you to-" she heard a faint rip of the paper. She looked at her page which has a picture of her favorite patron goddess' in the verge of destruction, that just made her blood rise to her head. "How dare you put a slit on Artemis' face, you low-level creature?"
"Who are you calling low-life, you little klutz?" the raven-haired boy narrowed his eyes at her, all thoughts of apologizing for the ripped page, gone from his mind.
"It's obviously you, brainless!" she spat.
"I don't usually disrespect women but with a sharp tongue like that, I doubt it if you're even a girl." he retorted.
"Whatever." she rolled her eyes, getting impatient "Just give me back my book."
"Oh, I'll give it to you all right." he smirked "But right after, I make a few adjustments."
Sakura was about to demand what he meant, when the guy suddenly started to flip some pages then crumpled them into ugly, fistful clumps. Due to its oldness, a couple of pages were completely torn to shreds. Her eyes grew wide and a gasp left her mouth, when he was finally done and threw the book. It skittered sideways hitting the wall to a stop about 15 ft. away from them.
Sakura immediately ran and picked up the worn out book on the floor and the torn pages scattered around it, afraid that someone might step on them. She was about to beat the arrogant jerk to a bloody pulp, but he was no longer there when she stood up.
"He will definitely pay for this." she swore to herself, her free hand tightening into a fist.
-0000000000-
"..If I ever see that bastard again...I swear I'm gonna tear him from limb to every pathetic limb!..."Sakura says through gritted teeth, as her hands smoothed out the crumpled pages of her beloved book, but to no avail.
"Sakura-chan?"
"What?" she snapped angrily at the person behind her, not bothering to turn her head.
"Uhm... Is something wrong?" It was girl's soft voice that got her to look up.
"Oh, Hinata-chan, it's you! I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean it" Sakura apologized quickly.
"Don't worry. It's okay" Hinata reassured her with a smile as she sat down next to Sakura's chair since they were seatmates. Hinata Hyuuga was one of her closest friends in school. She had a long midnight blue hair, light purple eyes and soft, pale skin. She came from a wealthy and respected family in Japan. Despite her family's strict attitude, Hinata is a very gentle and thoughtful friend to her. She used to be extremely shy, but it somehow lessened when she became close to Sakura.
They were currently inside their classroom for Homeroom and waiting for the bell to ring, which indicated the start of the class. Sakura spent all her free time on trying to salvage of what was left of her ruined book for almost an hour now.
"So... what happened?" Hinata asked curiously, while the pinkette continued on carefully flatting the surfaces of some of the crumpled pages, and sometimes putting up some scotch tapes to re-attach some of the ripped pages back to its original place.
Sakura's eyes narrowed in irritation as the sudden memory of what happened by the hallways this morning crept up to her mind's view.
She wore a grim expression. "I met a really, really rude jerk today" She had to calm down a few seconds to prevent herself from worsening the book's condition under her shaky hands.
"And?" Hinata pressed cautiously.
"Well, I accidentally bumped into him this morning, and he thought he had the right to destroy my book in spite the fact that I didn't do anything to him...yet!" Sakura almost yelled in anger as she showed the Hyuuga heir the damaged reading material.
Hinata held a perplexed expression. "Is that your Myth Book?" She knew how important it was for Sakura. The girl rarely allows people to touch it, even her.
"I wish it wasn't" Sakura groaned, exasperated, hugging her book close to her chest. "If I find that-that abhorrent excuse for a guy, I'll seriously throw him to the pits of Tartarus with a bunch of hellhounds to rip him to pieces!"
Hinata sweatdropped. She wasn't quite sure whether to laugh or feel pity for the enraged pink-haired girl. She knew the girl's obsession with mythological creatures and Greek Gods. Even before they became friends, Sakura's first companion was her Myth Book.
"That's pretty harsh, don't you think?"
"Nope. He deserves it."
...
Mr. Iruka Umino, their homeroom adviser came exactly after the bell rung. He made a short announcement that they're going to have a new transferred student in class. Sakura wasn't actually paying attention as she was doodling at the back of her notebook. But when the guy came in and spoke, her gaze completely focused on him.
"Please tell the class your name" Mr. Iruka says, gesturing his hand at the students in front of them.
The boy gave out a brief nod before facing the class. "My name's Uchiha Sasuke"
Almost all of the female students swooned not only at the gorgeous sight of him, or his irresistible, mysterious aura but also at his no non-sense, deep, silky voice.
"It's him" she mumbled to herself, unconsciously snapping the pencil in her hand into two. It didn't went unnoticed to her seatmate and somehow, Hinata had a vague idea of the reason behind Sakura's stunned reaction.
"Sakura-chan? Tell me if I'm wrong but, is that the guy you mentioned to me earlier?" she asked when she saw that the whole class' interest was on the raven-haired boy.
Sakura could only nod. Slowly, her lips stretched to an evil smile. Hinata very well knows that look. And even though she knew the answer, she had this urge to ask the pinkette. "What are you thinking Sakura-chan?" she queried timidly, sensing the dark energy around her friend.
"The Gods are in my favor today..."

*extra notes*
Ai!- Greek cry of pain.
Kendrikos fakos- Greek word for Bull's eye!
Notus- God of the South Wind; i watched a TV series before wherein Zeus called him the God of Rain in sending a great flood that punished the people in Philemon and Baucis' time; so I used him in here.
Hades- HE was used in the story as a substitute for Hell.
