San Konoha
Chapter One: Heaven is a Place on Earth
AN: This fanfic is based on San Junipero from Black Mirror Season 3 episode 4. Not all events are similar to the show, I changed some parts to make this fanfic different and not a literal copy XD. I really hope you guys will enjoy it.
September 1987
San Konoha
Week One
Sasuke Uchiha walk at the streets of San Konoha in a confused and dazed manner, his eyebrows are furrowed and his lips form into a deep frown. He never been to a place that is filled with people who look so damn happy, like their so content with their lives. He turned around and saw his reflection on the window display, tilting his head slightly staring at a reflection of himself.
"Woohoo! Hell yeah!"
Sasuke turned around and saw a blond guy with bright blue eyes the strangest whiskers on his tanned cheeks and a smile so annoyingly happy suddenly jumped out of an orange car. Sasuke stood there even more confused as the blond stranger approach him and gave Sasuke a friendly pat and said
"First time here in San Konoha?"
Sasuke didn't reply and merely nodded his head, the loud blond grinned even wider and said "You should check out KNH Club, the place is packed with hots girls and the serve the best drinks in town!"
Sasuke turned around and saw a club that is filled with purple and bluish lights, it looks so jammed packed with party goers and strangers with happy faces as they enter the vicinity. He slowly walk towards the club not used to going to parties or 'relaxing', he winced when a pink haired woman starts screaming happily while on top of a table dancing with a drunken rhythm.
Sasuke pulled away from the crowd when his eyes caught to someone sticking out in the crowd because of her meekness, her awkward posture and her even more awkward fiddling of the straw of her drink, she lifted her head up and Sasuke saw the most beautiful lavender pearl eyes, she gave him a shy smile and gestured him to sit next to her. Sasuke slowly approach her and he sat down next to her, placing his hands awkwardly on his lap and nervously shaking his leg.
The eccentric indigo haired beauty nudged his elbow and shyly said "F-First time in San Konoha? You stick out like a sore thumb." She giggled and tucked her hair on her ear, Sasuke frowned and replied
"Do I honestly look like a newbie here?"
The indigo beauty smiled even wider and nodded "Yep! Usually we know people around here, some are visitors and others are permanent. Are you staying here permanently?" Sasuke tilted his head, unsure what to say and how to process that information. He shrugged his shoulder and replied
"I honestly don't know yet. You? Visitor or permanent?"
The woman smiled sweetly and replied "Visitor, but I've never been to this side of town before so it's technically my first time here. What's your name?"
Sasuke gave her a small smile and replied
"Sasuke Uchiha."
He reaches out for his hand and the woman with indigo hair, lavender eyes and shy smiles replied
"Hinata Hyuga, nice to meet you Sasuke."
She takes his hand and shakes it after the introduction she suddenly pulled him up and drag him towards the bar. Hinata grinned at the bartender and exclaimed
"Two Midnight Cocktails Mr. Bartender!"
Sasuke shakes his head and said "No, I don't drink. It's not my thing."
Hinata laughs in merriment and replied "Nonsense, us newbies must taste the Midnight Cocktails, I heard it tastes really good plus it is our celebratory drink."
The bartender whose wearing black round glasses, mustard yellow turtleneck and a beetle necklace, mixed the drinks and slide the cocktail glass towards them. Hinata smiled and lifted her glass and said
"Welcome to San Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke nodded and gave a small smile in return, clinking their glass together and drank the alcoholic beverage. He never met such eccentric and odd woman in his entire life. From her lavender eyes and her clothes, wearing a flamingo pink shirt and lavender skirt, her long pin straight hair that looks so odd in contrast to the women teasing their hair or curling it like telephone wires. She looks so simple compared to the flashy outfits surrounding them, women clad in sparkly jumpsuits and men wearing uncomfortable outfits.
Hinata sipped her cocktail and whispered
"A-Are you judging me?"
She flushes as she self-consciously smoothed her skirt. Sasuke shakes his head and replied "No, it's just you look different from the rest of the people." Hinata smiled sweetly and whispered
"But different is good right, Sasuke?"
All Sasuke can do is nod as he stare at her with awe, he has never seen a woman that is both shy and demure in words but confident in actions. The speakers in the club blasted the song, Hinata's eyes suddenly widen with excitement and spun around happily.
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
"Sasuke! Come on let's dance!"
Sasuke shakes his head and refuses
"I'm an awful dancer."
They say in heaven, love comes first
Hinata cutely pouted and whispered "Please? You don't have to dance, you can stand and awkwardly move your arms." Hinata laughs and mockingly move her arms. Sasuke rolls his eyes and nodded, allowing himself to be dragged in her ideas.
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
Hinata laughs in merriment and spun around spreading her arms widely, dancing happily to the groove of the song. She looks like she has been to this place countless of times, she looks like she lives here permanently. Sasuke stood there staring at her actions and observing the way she moves and on how she acts with familiarity. It's almost like she does this every single night, dancing her blues away and grinning like a child.
Sasuke took a step back and turned around, unsure if he completely trust this woman who suddenly dragged him out of his comfort zone. As Hinata busy herself dancing she turned around and saw Sasuke disappearing from the crowd.
Sasuke leaned on the concrete wall of the club, grabbing a cigarette on his pocket and lighter. He never felt to nervous and scared in a place he isn't familiar with, the shakiness of his hands shows how much his anxiety took a toll on him. He lit the cigarette stick and placed it on his lips inhaling the nicotine fumes and exhaling the smoke out, he moves his head and bit his lip knowing that ditching his only 'friend' in the club isn't the nicest thing to do.
The back door of the club slowly creaked open as Sasuke spun around he saw Hinata standing in front of him with a confused look on her face and said
"W-What's wrong? Did I push you too much? I'm sorry." She lowered her head and apologized sincerely. Sasuke shakes his head and stepped back and replied
"No, I'm the one who is supposed to apologize. I don't have the heart to tell you that I wasn't feeling comfortable. It's just, I feel like everyone is criticizing me.
Hinata tilted her head and echoed his words "Criticizing you? Sasuke no one is even look at us, they're too busy chasing against time." Hinata chuckled and lean on the door staring at him.
Sasuke frowned and asked "Chasing against time? What does that mean?"
11:59 pm
Hinata opened the back door of the club and slowly entered and said mysteriously
"I'll tell you when we meet again."
The door shuts close as Sasuke stood there with a confused look on his face, his watch started beeping flashing the time.
12:00 am
He opened the back door and entered back inside the club, Sasuke stood there with his mouth gaping and he was so surprised to see the club almost empty. The club that was once filled with people wearing a spectrum of colors and dancing their lives away suddenly disappeared. The loud pink haired woman jumped down on the table walking towards the exit and exclaimed
"Looking for someone newbie?"
Sasuke scowled hating being called newbie and asked "Have you seen an indigo haired girl? Lavender eyes and quite short, she was wearing a pink shirt."
The pink haired woman flipped her short hair and shrugged
"Oh, Hinata? She's a visitor, visitors leave San Konoha during midnight. She didn't tell you?"
Sasuke shakes his head and stand in a place once filled with strangers now filled with silence.
