CHAPTER ONE
"Of course he had to just leave and not tell me where he was going, what a bastard, and thinking he's all cool and 'self-finding!'" I could barely keep my voice down from yelling at the
trees I went speed walking past, my teeth gritted together and my right eye twitched at the bottom. "Ohhh I'm Rox-ASS, watch me find myself and my other self, oh wait you don't know
where I am so you CAN'T watch me!" I sneered and screeched in a mocking tone, glaring up at the leaf dappled sky. This beautiful weather was not calming me down at all, sadly.
If you, the reader, are wondering why I'm walking around a forest and ranting to myself, here is the explanation! It's my 'ritual'! I do it every place I end up going looking for my
boyfriend, Roxas, who ran away about half a year ago trying to find his 'Somebody' or 'Otherself' and why he was the god damn Keyblade master and all that shit! Well so am I but you
don't see me running off like a chicken with its head cut off now do you (Well you see me WALKING but that's DIFERENT!) I know hope you don't think I'm some insane, crazy-ass, shit
faced serial killer that has a sudden loathing to her very cute boyfriend (well, the last part makes a little bit of sense…the whole loathing thing does.)
And I had other rights to be pissed off too! My feet ached, my neck was probably going to be permanently stuck in an odd angle because of the way I had been glaring up at the sky
and any living, flying animal that dare cross my path of 'air loathing', and lastly of all I was covered in sweat and I hadn't had a shower in two days because of all the fucking walking I
had been doing (Yes, I am a profane fifteen year old, most of us are…so if you don't enjoy excessive swearing I warn you not to read any further…so stop, now, or I will hurt YOU!)
I sighed the loudest sigh I could muster from my dry throat and pushed up my sunglasses, I now glared at the world in a pink tint (it takes a lot away from the loathing, sadly.) Pulling
forward a chunk of my black hair I brought it up to my eyes and brushed it against my cheek, thinking. "Am I just going to keep walking?" I asked myself, frowning as I saw a few split
ends on the chunk. "Or maybe I should just cut down all the god damn trees until I find civilization…yes, then I could take over the place and have all the people become search parties
for me, PURE GENIUS!" I laughed to myself for maybe a little too long and a little too loudly.
"Do you always talk to yourself?" Came a male voice from above me, I shrieked and picked up the nearest stick and chucked it upwards in a panicky matter.
"Don't you dare come near me and rape me!!" I continued to twist my head around, looking for a sign to see where the voice came from. But you know what was funnier than the whole
entire Let's-Watch-Zazie-have-a-fucking-heart-attack-and-spazz-moment…It had to be the stick that I threw up coming back down and clonking me right on the head, followed by the
blood that began to ooze down my cheek from where I had been scratched by said-stick and me screaming even louder. (No, I don't have a fear of blood; I was just very scared at the
moment.)
"Ahahaha, that was pretty funny!" I saw a flash of blonde hair as I twisted my head to the right, the person popped out their head from the trees. "Ohayo!" He cheered.
Ohio? Isn't that in the United States…okay I should back away slowly from blonde haired cutie with whiskers on his cheeks! I thought to myself, crossing my hands over my chest I gave him a
once over.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you!" He loped over to me and thrust his hand forward, I noticed the huge scroll on his back and took note of it, then I took his callused hand and
shook it up and down. "May I ask who the cute girl who was talking to herself what her name is?" He smiled; I couldn't help but smile back…even though I had a boyfriend.
"I'm Zazie Crescent." I used my mom's last name (I would never use my step-father's last name and I don't know my dad's…so…) "And I'm sorry to say I have a boyfriend." He face just
dropped for moment. "But you know what, you look really close to him, as if you two were related or something, I think that's pretty awesome!"
Naruto's face lit up "Ah, I feel special now!" Watching his facial expressions was like watching some cartoon or something.
"So, Naruto-san…" I chose my honorific carefully "Can you tell me if we're near anywhere that I can sleep?"
"You planning to take it over?" He asked sincerely, but I felt myself twitch in pure amusement and annoyance at the same time.
"No, of course not!" I pushed back my hair and laughed again.
"Good! We're near Konoha, place where I grew up." I looked at his face and frowned, his eyes looked somewhat misty.
"Do you like it here?" I asked, Naruto turned towards me again and nodded his head furiously.
"I love Konoha, I'm going to become Hokage of it someday!" He said in an eager tone, his eyes shining like stars. I tilted my head to the side and raised my eyebrow, not quite familiar
with what the fucking shit a 'Hokage' was. Did it have to do with prostitution (It has the word HO in it!)?
"Wait, what is…?" But I was cut off by Naruto's sudden jump and as he began to shake his arms around nervously.
"Oh, shit, I heard Iruka-sensei!! I'm so screwed if he finds meeee!" Naruto looked back and forth and then finally looked back at me. "Oh, I'm so sorry, but I gotta run! I hope I'll see you
later when you finally reach town! Please don't tell anyone I had this" He said in a rushed by apologetic tone, pointing to the scroll on his back at the last sentence. He jumped forward
to the trees, stopped, and turned back to me. "Right, to get to Konoha just keep going straight for another fifteen minutes! Gomen na sai!"
I stood there in the clearing for a moment, blinking to myself and trying to place together everything that had just happened. I then sighed and started walking forward again, as usual.
I opened my mouth, closed it, and then repeated that for a minute until I was finally able to form a sentence. "Note to self." I mumbled to myself, finally seeing the end of the forest and
a large gate "Study more Japanese, or you are screwed."
Konoha village, because according to the two manly men at the front gate this whole huge fuck town is a VILLAGE, was quite the sight! But do you want to know what was the most
amusing thing I saw today? No it wasn't a male stripper but it was someone who could be one, and he was being followed around by a lot of whores…ahh I mean fangirls! (I was
tempted to call out to them in a 'pimp'ish voice and see how the reacted!)
I continued to stare at the odd parade until one girl turned, pointed her accusing claw…I mean pointer finger at me, and the rest of them turned to glare…even the boy stopped.
"STOP STARING AT SASUKE-KUN!" The pink haired bitch, wait I'm being very unfair here, girl, screeched at me.
"I'm not staring at him…" I replied in a bored tone "I staring at you guys because of how weird you all look."
They all blinked at the same god damn TIME! Like their programmed or some screwed up shit like that! Never mind regular prostitutes these are Robot Whores. Jesus, someone shoot
me.
"What was that?" Okay, so they had a hearing malfunction or they were just plain stupid, I like choice number two, but I looked over to see where the guy was supposed to be and…!
I started to laugh my ass off, not caring what the girls thought of me, they all turned to where I was staring and began to shriek "DAMMIT SASUKE GOT AWAY!" Yep, their handsome
'future husband' had made a get away.
Dammit, he owed me.
I slowly made my way away from the group of shrieking females, hoping none of them would see me pull a Houdini trick and disappear. Shrinking behind one of the many store walls of
Konoha I managed to get away. And then I saw the dude whose ass I saved and who REALLY owed me.
"Uh, hi…" I said, watching him turn hurriedly and pull out some knife thing…Kids are allowed to carry around knifes in this god damn place? May Jesus Christ save my sorry ass.
"Oh, it's you." He lowered his guard and stared at me, I just stared back until it seemed like we were having a staring contest.
"Yes, the girl who saved your scrawny ass…that is I." I nodded my head at him, shoving my hands into my pockets and shrugging. "You owe me." I said in a breezy tone.
"What…why do I owe you?" Sasuke asked in a sour voice, glaring at me now.
"I just told you!" I really wish I had some rock to throw at this kid, what an idiot!
"For that, yea right." He turned his back on me and my gawking face. I closed my mouth and opened it again in a furious sneer.
"You bastard, don't you have a heart?" Maybe he was a Nobody and I just hadn't sensed it yet.
"No shit there, Sherlock. How could I still be walking around?" Sasuke just kept walking forward. I felt a small growl of frustration slip past my lips and my hands curl up at my sides into
fist. What an asshole!
"I can see you don't like girls!" I said only loud enough for him to hear "Mayhaps you're a gay heartless…" I paused just for a millisecond "Penis eater!" I came up with the word on the
spot.
"What you say?" He turned, his face completely furious, but I just gawked back at him and threw my hands up to the sky and groaned.
"Does everyone in this god damn village have a fucken hearing problem?! Jesus Christ I might as well just SHOUT everything at the top of my lungs!" I began to rant again, ignoring the
furious look on Sasuke's face.
"Okay, calm down." He cut me off as I took in a deep breath. "I'm sorry about my behavior…most girls try to rape me by now." Sasuke sighed tiredly. I blinked and looked at him,
bringing my hands down into my pockets again and sighing myself.
"Alright…shitty start for us, I usually don't like yelling at people the first time I meet them." I smiled at him; he nodded his head at me and gave me a small nod of the head. "I'm sorry,
but are the only facial expressions you have are 'Normal' and 'Pissed Off' because it seems like that."
"Sorry, I usually don't smile a lot…not a lot to smile at in this village." His lips turned up at the sides in a small, sad smile.
"Well I'm here now, so maybe you will!" I said cheerfully, walking over to him and giving him a small pat on the back. "So, kid, what's your name."
"I'm Sasuke, and you're the same age as me…why are you calling me kid?"
I faltered, feeling my jaw drop in pure dismay. He continued to stare at me with a confused face. "Dammit, I'm not that short, am I?" I asked, rolling my eyes and giving a defeated sigh.
"I'm Zazie…and for God's sake I'm fifteen!"
"Oh, you are? I'm sorry." Sasuke said in a normal tone, not sounding all that sorry. I just shoved my hands back into my pockets and stuck out my lower lip.
"Dammit I need some chocolate." I groaned to myself, ambling on ahead. "And a place to sleep…and someone here I kinda now know really owes me for saving his butt." I said in a
sweet and cheery tone. Turning to see a horrified expression on Sasuke's face.
"Shit, no…" He shook his head, his eyes as wide as platters, but I just smiled and put on my best puppy-dog face.
"Pretty please? Just for a lil' while!! I promise to protect you from the whores…I mean fan girls!" I clapped my two hands together and cocked my head to the side, trying to look cute. I
heard a small sound that sounded like laughter and then looked up to see a huge smile on his face, I smiled back.
"You called them whores? That's pretty classic." He laughed again, a sweet and deep sound.
"I am very judgmental on people. So can I please stay at your house? I promise not to rape you in the middle of the night, no matter how fine you are!"
He blinked and smiled again, shaking his head. "Alright, but here's another part of the deal…remember how you called me gay, no doing that."
"Are you?" I looked at him, cocking my right eyebrow and staring at him until he glared and blushed.
"No." He turned away from me, a surly look on his face; I let out a small giggle and clapped my hands together.
"You shouldn't deny your feelings towards the same sex, Sasuke-kun!" I felt close enough to him now to use the more familiar honorific. I saw him shudder as he turned to me.
"I won't let you come to my house and stay if you keep that up."
"Ahhh GOMEN!" I bowed my head and slapped myself a couple times "I promise to never bring it up unless you do!"
"And please no 'kun', all the whores." He smiled at that "Call me that."
"Kay, what can I call you then?"
"Just Sasuke is fine."
"Okie-dokie-smokie-artichokie!" I cheered, jumping up so I stood right next to him with a huge smile on my face. "So, are we going to your house? Where am I going to sleep?"
"Can we please figure that out later?" He didn't mind that I had looped my arm through his and we walked step in step, like true friends. I looked up at the sky and shrugged my
shoulders.
"Alright!"
----
After a few close encounters with rabid fan girls we actually got to Sasuke's 'house'.
HOUSE MY BUTT! He had a whole entire God damn street that was had belonged (as he said) to his family. I asked him about his family and he just looked away and ignored my
question, I looked at him with worried eyes until he turned to me and glared until I looked away.
"Sorry." I muttered "It's none of my business."
"Would you like it if I asked you about your family?" Sasuke snapped, I could still feel him glaring me as I shivered momentarily.
"I would hate it…I had a very bad childhood." My voice was barely above a whisper as I continued to look down at the twilight bathed streets.
"So did I, good to see we have something in common." He said in a sour tone, looping his arm out of mine and walking ahead. I stood there for a moment and crossed my arms, thinking
to myself.
"You coming?" He asked, not even turning, I looked at him and bit my bottom lip.
"Yea, I'm coming." I walked forward till I was next to him again, us walking step in step.
"So, can I ask one question?" He asked, pulling a key out from under the door mat after looking around (probably looking for fangirls…tee-hee.)
"Sure, shoot." I chewed down on my pinky nail and scratched at some of the left over nailpolish on it.
"Well it has to do with your childhood."
"Okay, if you ask me one question I can ask you one, like that." He held the door open for me and I stepped inside the bare room. "Wait, damn man where's the TV?" I said with fake
horror in my voice.
"Don't have one."
"I think I may die." I faked swooned onto the couch and kicked my feet into the air "Okay, go, ask me anything…"
"So, was your dad like mine? Obsessed about one child and ignoring the other?" He had sat himself down on the couch arm and was staring at me; I sighed and tilted my head into the
couch cushion.
"To some extent, and it was my step father, he didn't like either me or my half brother, his son, but he seemed more interested in Seph." I smiled sadly to myself, ignoring the dryness in
my throat and the tears that pricked the side of my eyes. "I didn't mind though, because I hated my step father. I loved my mother and step brother so much though because they were
the only real family I had. My mom said that my father had died in a mako explosion."
"Mako?" Sasuke asked, his chin resting on his clasped hands, I looked at him and made a face.
"That's two questions, but I don't mind, that means I get two…Mako is a kind of energy that was used for almost everything where I came from."
"I see, so it was over reaction." Sasuke said to himself thoughtfully, I nodded my head and then frowned.
"My father had been part of the Shinra company, so it's possible that a reactor could have gone off, but I'm planning to do some research…my step father was always there when my
mom told me that so he might have been telling her to tell me that version." I closed my eyes and sighed. "So, I get to ask you two questions, if they are too tough I get to choose
another, kay."
"Okay."
"So, branching off your first question, did your dad love your sister or brother more than you?"
Sasuke's expression hardened, I heard him swallow down some of his spit as he shook his head. "My mom always told me he loved me always, but I knew that was a lie, it was always
'Why can't you be more like Itachi, Sasuke?'" He spoke in a sour tone "It was always Itachi, but Itachi loved me and didn't rub it in, he knew I knew he was good." He crossed his arms
and let out a deep breath. "My father loved Itachi more than me, because Itachi could do almost everything. And even when Itachi didn't want to do it Father was always saying he
should…"
I listened and nodded my head "My step brother was the same." I offered him a small smile "My step father also hated me because I was a girl, saying I wasn't strong enough, like my
mom."
"Wow, we're some screwed up kids." Sasuke smiled bitterly, I let out a small, hollow sounding laugh.
"Last question…where's your brother now?" I asked.
Sasuke tensed up automatically and I could see the blood lust in his eyes, his teeth ground together and his fist clenched. "I don't know where the god damn traitor is." His tone was
low and dangerous. "Enough for tonight, your room is down the hallway to the right, second room."
"Sasuke…I'm so sorry." It was strange using the words my mother had always used with me. He just flopped down on the spot that I had been laying down at before and didn't look at
me. I just let out a small sigh and walked down the empty house hallway and to my room. "Well, I'm off to a great start." I rolled my eyes and mentally smacked myself around a few
times. I opened up the door and held down a surprised gasp, the room was spotless and everything looked pristine and perfect, the bed was made, and the desk was full of…was that
scrolls? Aww, crap did I walk into Sasuke's room?! "I went down the hallway he pointed to, right, second room." I peeked my head out to see if it was the second room, it was. "Hmm,
well I have no complaints." I jumped onto the soft bed and was overwhelmed by a sweet scent.
"Da heck." I took another sniff, it smelt like cinnamon, I didn't object. "Note to self, take shower tomorrow and find out what room you're in…" I yawned, not realizing how tired I was;
even though it was only eight o' clock…it had been a long day for me. I crawled under the covers and yawned to myself one last time. "Life…is being fair enough for me." I mumbled,
shifting my feet and legs over each other to feel the sweet touch of the silk against my skin.
I slept better than I ever did in years…
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Aww fuck…" I groaned and slapped my hand around, trying to turn off the alarm clock that was annoying the shit out of me.
Wait, I don't remember an alarm clock in this room, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and brought my hands to my face, let out a few more curses. "Sasuke, if that's you you're
dead." I threatened in a dry voice, almost falling onto the floor when I got up and stumbling over to the dresser. "Ahh, I'm bringing my other clothes…tonight…" I stopped and mentally
slapped myself "Stupid!" I hissed. I pulled open one of the drawers and much to my luck and surprise…A pair of white pants and a black t-shirt, with the same symbol that Sasuke had
on the back of his own t-shirt!
I pulled them on, skipping around the room as the jeans caught on my feet and falling back down on the bed. "Life is so unfair." I moaned to myself, pulling the pants up to my waist line
and the shirt over my head, throwing my other clothes into a corner, not caring.
"Okay, breakfast…shit!" I suddenly cursed in a whisper "Forgot my shower…ugh that's gross." I blinked and started ambling around, opening doors and peeking my head in. "I don't
care if I see Sasuke naked, do not care at alllll." I cleared my throat and shrugged to myself, closing the door to what I thought was Sasuke's room (Very nice, just a bed and a
desk…Jesus the boy needs Extreme House Makeover more than a plant needs carbon dioxide!)
"Zazie?" I felt a hand on my shoulder as I jumped up and turned to see Sasuke, his bangs down in his face. "Why are you talking to yourself…and in my room?" The last bit sounding
just an eensy-bit accusatory!
"I was looking for the shower." I said truthfully, bringing my fist to my eyes and rubbing away the sleep that was still there.
"You're…dressed though, what… where'd you even get that shirt?" Sasuke asked, folding his arms over his chest, giving me a once over…was the boy always so judgemental?!
"Yea, I got dressed…I found some clothes in the room I was in and then I remembered that I wanted to take a shower." I let out a yawn. "So don't have a shit-fit."
Sasuke blinked, shrugged, and pointed to the next door "Shower's there, I'm outta here in fifteen minutes."
"Where you going?" I asked; letting out another huge, jaw cracking yawn. Sasuke sighed to himself and shoved his hands into his pockets.
"Ninja classes…" He paused, then added in an annoyed tone "Want to come?"
I beamed, almost doing a little dance in the hallway "Of course, will your adoring fangirls be there?" I teased, watching him roll his eyes.
"Yep, hurry up your shower, I won't wait…" He gritted his teeth, not all that happy.
"Yay, thank you sweetie!" I leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek "You rock!" I shot down the hall and skidded into the bathroom, falling down right on my butt. "AW FUCK! THAT
HURT!"
"You deserved that!" Came Sasuke's pissed off voice. I rubbed my right hand over my sore bum and rolled my eyes, fucken bastard.
