Chapter 1-" Just another day in the life"
Sakura's P.O.V.
I've loved a lot of things in my life. My family was the first, but that didn't last long. The next thing was pink: I was obsessed with that for a while when I was little. I'm not a freak for it anymore, but it's still my favorite color. So according to some people, I'm a pretty lucky girl.
Ahem. Yeah, sure.
Normal P.O.V.
Sakura woke up to see sun streaming through her window. She yawned and looked over at her clock. 5:15 AM, perfect.
'Just enough time to finish…' she thought while jumping out of her small bed and onto the cold hardwood floor. She didn't bother getting dressed before rushing around her room looking for her art supplies. She found her brushes in her hamper, pastels under her bed, and actual paints scattered all over the floor. But by 5:20, she was ready. Sakura dipped her brush into some light blue paint and went to work painting her wall.
If one walked into the bedroom of Sakura Haruno, they would see one wall covered entirely in black ink, words everywhere. The other free wall was half painted, a large mural of a sakura tree by the sea, fading to a glimmering pond in a forest, transitioning to a night sky. It was her masterpiece, and was almost finished.
Sakura almost didn't notice when her alarm rang for the second time. She sighed, putting down her paints and checking the clock. 7:15 AM.
'Damn. Now I'll have to wait 'till tonight to finish.' She groaned, throwing open the doors to her closet. She threw off her pajamas and put on her regular outfit, which consisted of a pink half-dress, green shorts, and shoes.. She made sure her black choker was still on, and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Are you admiring yourself, Sakura?" A voice came from out of nowhere.
"Still too chicken to show your face, Rook?" Sakura called sarcastically.
"You haven't changed a bit." The voice chuckled. A boy of about 19 stepped out from the shadows and smiled at his 16-year-old friend. He had messy black hair and deep brown eyes that held a thoughtful look to them. Sakura eyed a mark under his left eye.
"Did you get summoned already?" Rook nodded vigorously.
"Who is it?"
"This girl. Her name's Mikko, and she's actually pretty cool, for a human."
"I'll have to meet her when I finally get mine." Sakura sighed. Being a shikigami was so annoying sometimes. But in its annoyance, it was also amazing.
Sakura's P.O.V.
Shikigami are projections of magical power in the form of a creature, sometimes a human, sometimes an animal (1). Both my parents were shikigami, and soon enough, I came along. By the age of 16, most shikigami teens have been summoned to protect their human masters, as a sign of reaching adulthood. Yeah, I don't fall into that category.
I turned towards my full-length mirror, Rook standing behind me. I frowned at my reflection, taking in the fact that by my next birthday, I could very well be a failure to my race.
"Don't worry. Your time will come soon." Rook reassured me, putting a hand on my shoulder. I smiled at him. He had been like a big brother to me ever since…. well, he's just always been there.
Suddenly, my simple black choker began to glow. The floor began to swirl, and I looked around, frightened. Rook just smiled at me.
"The time is now."
I felt a calming sensation, and flowed with it. Rook was gone, and markings began appearing on my arms and legs, as if written in an unknown language. It was a fantastic feeling.
Sasuke's P.O.V.
I woke up this morning with a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I tried to ignore it: Uchihas don't count on feelings. But by the time I got ready for school, it still hadn't gone away. I left my house (actually, it's a mansion) and walked down the street, feeling unsure. Very unusual for me. Suddenly, a girl approached me. Her shirt read "THE SASUKE UCHIHA FANCLUB" on it, and she looked at me desperately.
"SASUKE I WANT YOU TO MARRY ME!!!!!" She screeched, bothering my ears.
"No. Go away. You're annoying me."
"NOOOO SASUKE YOU WILL BE MINE!!!!" She screamed. Then something odd happened that caught my eye. The fangirl's eyes turned a deep red and her pupils disappeared. I took a step back, ready to fight if I had to. But she was too quick, and grabbed me by the neck. I attempted to throw her over me, but she only gripped tighter.
"Now you shall know how it feels to die, Sasuke Uchiha." The girl said in a voice I could tell was not her own. I struggled, but felt lightheaded. I was going to pass out soon
And then I was going to die.
A flash of pink light shone, and a girl appeared next to me. She had short pink hair and astonishing green eyes. A devious smile dominated her features, and she stared at me face to face.
"What took you so long?"
Sakura's P.O.V.
I didn't have time to really look at my new master. I asked him a question, and it took me a few seconds to realize that he couldn't answer because he couldn't breathe.
"Tch. Nice goin' there, Sakura."
'Shut up.'
I smirked at the demon-possessed girl in front of me. It was a lower class demon, easy to handle. I quickly drew in my chakra, muttering a few choice words, and aimed it full force against the beast. It flew out of the girl's spirit and hit the sidewalk quite nicely, moaning. I walked over to it.
"4.5 out of 10. Sorry, the Russian judge was not impressed." I flicked my finger, and the creature was gone. Then I went back to my master.
"Who're… You?" He asked, gasping for air.
"Sakura. Nice to meet you." I helped him up, then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. A small marking appeared under my right eye.
"WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR?!?!?!" He yelled, stumbling backwards. I rolled my eyes.
"I had to seal our bond, stupid." I looked at him straight on and finally saw how hot he actually was. His black hair was spiked and he had deep onyx eyes that you could just loose yourself in.
"What bond?!"
"I'm your new Shikigami. I'm here to protect you from things like that." I pointed to the unconscious groupie lying on the sidewalk.
"What?"
"Are you really gonna make me explain the whole thing?" I said in an annoyed tone. He just nodded. "Alright." I sighed. So I told him the whole story of who I was, and why I was there. My new Master's face just kept growing more and more emotionless with each word.
"So that's why I'm here." I finished plainly. He stared at me for a moment, then turned around and began walking away.
"HEY, WAIT A SECOND!!!!" He stopped, but didn't turn around
"I don't need you to protect me from anything." He said coldly. "I don't need to be watched over like a child." He began walking again. I looked at the ground, but then looked back up with a smile.
"Okay! I'll leave you alone then."
'Yeah Right.'
Yay!!!!!!! The Chappies done!!!! REJOICE!!!!! Haha, okay. Mikko is an actual person (friend of a friend) and is a self proclaimed Narutard. She LOVES both anime and manga. So she'll show up a couple times throughout this. I got this idea from "N" is for Nishiki (check the back of the first D.N.Angel book) so that doesn't belong to me. Review Please!!!!!
(1) "N" is for Nishiki
