Cursed Beauty
Chapter 1: Girly Disasters
Author's notes: My first Naruto fic, but not my first fic. And I only own this fic, ok? No suing business going around.
Haruno Sakura woke up early in the morning to find herself in an extremely good mood. She yawned for a while and then headed straight to the bathroom to dress up for the next lovely date with her boyfriend, Uchiha Sasuke. Sakura had been crushing on him since eternity, and a few months ago, she had finally gotten her dream guy to say yes for her and she would never any chance to be with him slip away.
Sakura is a typical 19 year old freshman attending Konoha University in Osaka, and she was glad that her crush also attended the same university. Plus she also had her best friend, Naruto there. For as long as she can remember, Sasuke has always been hers, and the incident last week just confirmed it.
-Flashback-
Sakura was stunned. Stunned, but not shocked. This was not the first time Sasuke rejected her advances. But it still gave her heartache.
'I'm sorry Sakura. Please do not ask me the same question again. I would not go out with you, I'm really sorry.' Apparently not sorry enough to accept her invitation for a date.
'Sasuke-kun, why cant't we be together? You knew it, I've liked you since we were young. Why is it that you can never like me?' It took Sakura a lot of courage to ask him out for the tenth time, and yet….
'Look Sakura, you are a nice girl. But you are just not my type.' He said it with such intensity in his dark eyes that would have melted Sakura if the words from his mouth were anything other than rejection towards her. 'If you would excuse me, I would like to attend my next lecture.'
And he left Sakura broken hearted.
'Sakura-chan, he was so awful', Naruto said, calming a sobbing Sakura. 'He wasn't worth of your love.'
'Naruto, don't you understand? I love him, it's fated! No matter how many times I dated other people, I never gotten over him. I can't forget him. Oh Naruto, what should I do to make him like me?' Sakura cried on Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto knew that feeling almost too well. Before he met Hinata, he was madly in love with Sakura, and he suffered numerous rejections from her. But, during high school, he finally met Hinata while working together in a Social Studies project, and sparks flew. Naruto admired her honesty and courage to improve herself, and Hinata loved his humour and his self-belief. They complimented each other and their relationship, had reached the stage where others could not fathom. She even do not mind Sakura being close to Naruto, because she knew that they are purely platonic, and she trusted Naruto completely.
He could smile thinking of his girlfriend, Hinata, but he cannot smile in front of a heavily sobbing Sakura.
'I wish a fairy would just come by and change his mind,' Sakura continue sobbing. 'Naruto, I really cannot bear with such pain any more, I do not know life is worth living anymore.'
Naruto, at that moment wished he was really a fairy.
Two days after the last rejection by Sasuke, Sakura was in her room, lying in her bed, skipping lectures. She was simply not in mood to attend any lecture, or to go anywhere. She just wanted the world to bury her forever.
And just as she wanted to continue wallowing in her own self-pity, she heard a knock in the door. But she could care less.
'Sakura', she heard her mother, 'you have a visitor.'
'I'm not in, mom.'
'Honey, it is Sasuke-kun,' her mother quickly apologized to the visitor for Sakura's behaviour.
Sakura couldn't react properly, and by the act of her impulse she ran to open her room door, and standing at her room door was really the cold-hearted man she had been dreaming for her life.
'Erm, Sakura…you look tired. It's ok, I'll just come later.' He was about to turn and leave when-
'Sasuke-kun, don't! Please tell me why are you here, please?' Sakura blurted out.
'I was just checking in on you, heard that you were sick', Sasuke said.
'Thanks, Sasuke-kun. I am fine, thanks for coming.' Sakura blushed, she never had Sasuke in her house before, and now, with her disheveled hair, messy clothes…why oh why did he had to come now?
'Sakura, if you do not mind, I have a favour to ask….'
'Anything at all, Sasuke-kun, anything –Shannaro!-' Sakura immediately brightened up. She would not care what kind of favour Sasuke is asking, the important thing is that Sasuke is asking HER for a favour. Sakura was still wondering whether she was dreaming about all this, her dream guy in front of her, in her house.
'Are you free tomorrow? I wanted to take you out for a movie, if you do not mind…'
Sakura almost fainted on the spot, that must be a dream! She clenched her fist, as tightly as she can managed until it hurt, and it did hurt. She wasn't dreaming. This is real, the real Sasuke standing in front of her, asking her out on a date, and she had this scene in her mind for years. She had been thinking about her responses should he ever ask her out, but right now, she could only remain as calm as she can, then ordering her mouth to form and say the word-
'….Yes, definitely. I am so-'
Sasuke didn't let her finish her sentence, he suddenly look nervous and then said, 'Then, I'll drive you to the movies after our last lecture for tomorrow. Rest well, Sakura.'
And he left Sakura in ecstacy.
Last Week…
It was very late at night, and Sakura and Sasuke had just came out of a cinema.
'Sasuke-kun, that was a nice movie, right? I loved how the heroine sacrificed herself for the man she loved, even though the man had already married another…I wish I would someday had her courage and…Sasuke-kun, are you listening to me?'
Sasuke was gazing into the sky, eyes fixed on the moon. Ever since they started dating each other, Sasuke had always paid her his fullest attention, never interrupting her whenever she talks, and had always treated her with cautious. However, their relationship only went as far as holding hands, courtesy of Sakura, he had never even kissed her. And recently he had always been looking into the sky, at the moon. Sakura was a feeling a little disappointed that they had never even touched each other before, but Sasuke is now HER boyfriend, and that was all that matter.
Sasuke was still looking at the moon, obviously did not hear Sakura's words. Sakura wrapped her arms around him and approached him from the front and kissed him lightly on the lips. It was a success, Sasuke tore his eyes away from the sky, but he pushed Sakura away lightly.
'I'm sorry, Sakura. Would you like to stop by my house? I'll make you tea.' He said, monotonously.
Sakura didn't know what to feel. She wanted Sasuke to tell her how in love he is with her, how beautiful she is to her, but, he never said much in their outings. Determining to make the move tonight, she followed his car to his house, and then settled herself on the couch.
Sasuke didn't make her tea. Sakura did not let him. As soon as Sasuke was about to leave for the kitchen, Sakura pulled him to the couch and wrapped herself around him. Sasuke was stunned, and he remained stiff, but Sakura didn't budge, instead she moved nearer and placed her lips on his neck, then placing feather-light kisses on his neck.
'You know what, Sasuke-kun, I want you to tell me that you love me,' she whispered seductively. Sasuke then, to her surprise, bent down, hands holding her hips tight, and began to kiss her.
The kiss immediately sent shivers down her spine. It passionate and desperate and Sakura felt her insides burning. His tongue reached out to hers, and connected to hers. His hands began moving up and down body, then holding and caressing her breast. Her hands moved to unbutton her shirt as his began to do the same. It was then, Sasuke had suddenly turned ferocious, he tore off her shirt, unzipped her bra, while pushing her down to the couch, he moved his lips down to her body, kissing her every part of the body, and removed her skirt. Without waiting anymore, Sakura unzip his pants. They paused to catch their breath, and then entered the domain that she had never dreamt before.
They made love the whole night, in every way imaginable, without any protection, and Sakura loved every second of it. She doesn't care, Sasuke touched her in ways she never thought he would. By the time the sun began to rise, they had been making love for more than six hours, and Sakura was then a very tired, exhausted but extremely satisfied woman. She had given Sasuke her virginity, and she never regretted it.
After the incident, they made love almost every day for long hours. Sakura didn't mind the exhaustion - Sasuke is HERS, and the more they have sex, they more she is sure of it.
-End Flashback-
Uchiha Sasuke is a depressed man. By right, he should be the happiest man in the world – filthy rich, devilishly handsome looks, body of a model, intelligence almost unmatched by any of his coursemates in Konoha University, a legendary football player, and a pretty trophy girlfriend. But he wasn't happy.
He woke up with a heavy headache resulting from hungover due to excessive alcohol after sending Sakura, his girlfriend home yesterday. They started having sex a week ago, and had continued everyday since. But last night, their love-making session was cut short due to Sakura's assignment, she had needed to pass it in tomorrow. But, even if she hadn't needed to complete her assignment, he would have stopped it. (He wanted to stop when she suddenly remembered her assigned project.) He didn't love her, and he made love to her the first time in delusion- she had touched and seduced him in the way he wanted another woman to do, the woman he barely knew.
Sakura was a nice girl alright - pretty, smart and nice, in short, every guy's dream wife. But not his. He was insanely in love with another woman, that is for sure, and he dated Sakura because she asked him to.
Her name was Nanako. They met when he was 15. He was in 7-eleven buying a quick lunch, and she was caught shoplifting.
-Flashback-
Sasuke had just finished her private tutorial with Kakashi, who remained his tutor until now, even though Kakashi wasn't exactly a person fit to teach a university undergraduate anymore. Sasuke particularly found Kakashi very brotherly, even closer to him than his own family. His parents are always away, and his brother, Itachi is currently pursuing his art career in Italy. Sasuke is always lonely, and Kakashi is his only companion, confidante, teacher, brother and friend.
He walked down the alley towards the 7-eleven, to get himself a lunch, as he enter, he bumped into a blonde girl with two ponytails.
'OUCH! Mind where you are going, you bastard!' Apparently the girl is very unruly and unmannered. Bad first impression.
Sasuke rubbed his forehead, and then he heard the shop assistant shouting, 'Get her, she took some chocolate bars!'
That alarmed the girl immediately, and she then ran away. Sasuke did not managed to get up fast enough to help in capturing her, and he had let her escaped.
Sasuke went out with his friends to the club that his brother own later that night, as it was the New Year's Eve. He knew that they were underage, and were not allowed in, but since his brother own the club, he did not gave a damn.
His friends were enjoying their night. Shikamaru was picking on Temari, a senior in their high school, whom he had eyes on for quite some time after he kicked his ass in a one-on-one dare in basketball. Kabuto, his brother's friend is dancing intimately with a girl he just met.
On normal days, Sasuke would have been already be kissing with any random girl that come to him, but he was not in mood tonight. His mind was still on the blonde girl he bumped into earlier. Even though their meeting was brief and the impression she gave to Sasuke was negative, Ssauke did recall looking into her clear blue eyes, which was in dilemma and trouble. Somehow, for reasons unknown to him, he wanted to meet her again badly. Seeing that his friends could do without him, he went out for a walk.
He did not have a direction to go, and feeling uncharacteristically unhappy, he just walked along the back lanes of the club. Then, he saw silhouettes of a few men approaching a person.
'Stealing from us, you brat? Do you actually go to school, can you even spell trouble?' A man said as he bent down upon their target, apparently immobilized.
'Come to think of it, you are quite sexy for your age,' he stepped in further, pulling the target upwards, and began to grab her breasts, and then to the whole body. The target, whom Sasuke had began to see more clearly, began to moan defiantly, trying to breaking away from the clutches of the other two men who are holding either side of her hands.
The man who spoke earlier, who had seemed to be the gang leader, then started to force himself upon her, and lifting up the girl's miniskirt, and ran his hands up and down her legs, evidently going to rape the helpless girl.
It was when the girl began to shout that Sasuke recognized who she was, and then rushed to her, kicking the man who was trying to rape her. It was fortunate that Sasuke was skilled in martial arts, and also happen to be the employer of the gang of men.
'What are you bastards trying to do upon a helpless girl? Do you want to be fired?' all of them were worked for the underground triad business that his father managed with Orochimaru, the town's most infamous triad boss.
They immediately ran away, and left Sasuke with the blonde girl that he had bumped upon in 7-eleven earlier that morning.
Sasuke carried the girl to his room. Her leg was broken, and she can't walk, but for some unknown reasons, she refused to be sent to the hospital. He then had no choice but to carry her to his home, and to call his personal doctor to nurse her back to health, despite her loud insistence of not accepting help from Sasuke. However, as she began to walk, she stumbled, but still continued to walk.
'Come one, you cannot walk. Let me carry you,' Sasuke said with a chuckle, watching her fruitless attempts to get away. It was then Sasuke scooped her in his arms, and said 'Don't worry, I won't rape or eat you.' the girl fell silent and give in.
As he watched his personal doctor treat her, he cannot help noticing the extraordinary attractiveness of the girl. She was so beautiful, so full of sex appeal that it seemed unnatural. Her long blonde hair shines with much radiance as her eyes. Her long legs made any skirt look scandalously mini, her full breasts almost seemed like she does not need any bra, and her behind – well, safe to say that her overall body carried such womanly curve that only a full grown woman could possibly possess. Sasuke cursed himself for having such impure thoughts on a person that he just met, but he cannot help to be mesmerized by the girl, so entranced in her features that it could leave him breathless. Sasuke, being the school's hottest guy, had never felt such way before.
He personally took breakfast to her the next morning, and wish her 'Happy New Year'. She, however, was still being cold towards him.
'I'm getting out of here. Thank you for the night.' She said as she began to ready herself, apparently going to leave.
Sasuke knew that it will not be easy to keep her. He placed the breakfast tray on the table nearest to him, and approach the girl.
'Hey, at least tell me your name.' Sasuke said with a voice that he used to get the girls melt in an instance. 'I let you stay the night, at least you have to return the favour. Uchiha Sasuke. Yours?'
She looked almost disgusted at the way Ssauke behaved, and then surprisingly replied, 'yeah, I know you very well, alright. You asshole. So can I go now?'
Her reply shocked Sasuke, but he acted calm; he had a reputation to uphold. 'You know me, but I don't know you, honey. It isn't fair.'
'Fine, I'm Naru- Nanako. Er…Umino Nanako. Satisfied?' Sasuke didn't notice her confusion on her name and continued to move towards her. He looked piercingly at her, and they were locked in a gaze as Sasuke whispered 'No one had ever resisted me like you did before. Why don't you stay here until you injuries are healed?'
Nanako tore away from the gaze, turning red, but claimed that 'Oh my god, you are a crazy person.', and stormed out of the room. He didn't knew why he didn't stop her, but Sasuke knew it was a decision he greatly regretted, because he would only see her four years later.
Sasuke had once again rejected the invitation to a date by his fellow varsity mate, Sakura, who had been crushing on him for years. He was in his room listening to his iPod, and completing his assignment, but his mind drifted to a girl he met a few years earlier, and wondered why couldn't he find her anywhere in Osaka.
'All I know is her name, huh?' Ssauke sighed. He cannot forget that girl, who entered his life briefly and left in a flash. She was the reason that Sasuke never dated any other girl seriously. Deep inside his heart, he is still waiting for the girl to appear. He was never a believer in love at first sight, but Nanako had seemed to be an exception, the one that had tormented him for years.
Then he heard a voice on the door. 'Sasuke-sama, there is a girl who is looking for you downstairs…'
'Ask her to leave.' Short reply from Sasuke.
'But, Sasuke-sama, Nanako-chan said that it is important…..'
Again interrupting his servant, he immediately stormed to the guest room.
Sasuke was stunned to see the girl of his dreams reappear.
'So Sakura is your cousin, huh? And you wanted me to be her boyfriend?' Sasuke cannot believe his ears. After all this years he had been waiting for her, she appear to ask him to date another girl? He felt a distant pain in him, the possibility of unrequited love – something that Sasuke knew nothing about.
'Please, Sasuke-kun. It hurts me to see her this way. I just return from Tokyo and I do not want to see her this way. Please?' she said with such glitter in her eyes that it seemed all too familiar, but Sasuke couldn't care less. She is here, but unfortunately not for him.
'What do I get in return?' Sasuke demanded, looking eye-to-eye at her.
To Sasuke's surprise, Nanako smiled seductively at him, and whispered in his ears, 'What do you want other than me? I can give you.'
'That is not a deal,' Sasuke said, wrapping his arms around her slim waist, his lips trying to reach for hers, 'I want nothing but you. If I do what you ask me to, leave your number, because what I want in return is to see you again, for as long as I want to.' After saying that, Sasuke held her tight, something that he had been dreaming about.
Nanako, taken aback, pushed him away, looking at him with an expression that seemed to indicate that she was angry. 'You have a deal, Sasuke. Bastard!'
With that, without leaving her number, Sasuke watched her leave his house again.
-End Flashback-
Kakashi entered Sasuke's room to find him in a mess.
'Yo, superstar! Oh, man, this ain't you. You sure got yourself pretty tired out huh?' he teased, 'Time for training, you don't want to miss those trainings, football season's is near the corner, unless you want Naruto to get the spotlight….'
"Kakashi! Hungover.' Sasuke said shortly, holding his forehead, still lying on the bed.
Kakashi sighed. He tried to provoke his best student by mentioning his rival's name, but apparently to no avail. He had been drinking excessively, and skipping lectures in these few days, a sign of disarray and mental depression.
'Ok, superstar. What's your problem? Is it money, or is it women?'
'Kakashi, why is it that she had to disappear? She asked me to date another girl, and then she disappear.' Sasuke said, 'All I want is to see her again…'
'Listen, Sasuke. You are a mess. This isn't you. Definitely. Get hold of yourself and think, okay? When is it that she came?' Kakashi sat beside him, taking out his favourite romance (?) book, Come Come Paradise.
Sasuke began to think. 'You're right Kakashi. I lose it everytime she's around. And if she ever come back again, I'll never lose it again. But, how do I get to see her again?'
'You last saw her asking you to date another person, when was it?'
'Around three months ago, I guess.'
'No, what did you do to make her suddenly appear?' Kakashi's eyes not leaving the book.
Sasuke's mind began to search the memories. He was in his room, then she came to his house, asking her to take Sakura as a girlfriend, because she rejected her again, and she was sad to see her…..
'Kakashi, you are a genius!'
Kakashi wondered why an intelligent person like Sasuke, with his 'hottest guy' reputation could be so dense when it comes to women, as he flipped another page of Come Come Paradise.
'Anytime, Sasuke.'
Naruto woke up from a bad dream. It was a dream on Sasuke, and anything that is even remotely connected to that bastard is BAD. He was Sasuke's rival in football, and they barely make it through the training without squabbling.
In a way, Naruto was jealous of Sasuke, who seemed to possess natural affinity for girls, natural talent for football and natural intelligence. Unlike Sasuke, Naruto had to work his way, training day and night to achieve his status as one of the best strikers in the university, while Sasuke is always paired with him. Funny how they are always forced to work together, yet, they never reached an understanding.
Their rivalry began since they were young, approximately in their elementary school. Sasuke was Sakura's crush, and Naruto liked Sakura. A chain of unrequited love. But the rivalry went further as Naruto was selected to the football team, and they were never seen in good terms.
There was another reason why Naruto had to stay rivals with Sasuke – His women side is attracted to him.
Naruto is a man with a secret. He can turn into a woman, and his female form had met Sasuke twice.
He was once possessed by a female fox spirit, and in order to keep the spirit under control, it was sealed in his body, immobilizing its every move, with the sacrifice of his parents. Since then, he had been kept under the custody of Iruka, a family friend. Even though the spirit was sealed, some of the fox's attribute are manifested in Naruto, for example, he can turn into a woman at will. This is his most dangerous ability, because the more he transform, the more dominant the woman side will be, and if he is not careful, he might be stuck as a woman. He normally used it to play pranks, but one day it went haywire – he got stuck.
He was 15 when the incident happened. Initially wanted to play prank on a 7-eleven manager, whose son used to bully him, he shoplifted in his female form, but after that got stuck. He was so panic that he didn't want to return home and get scolded by Iruka, so he wandered around the town, penniless, hungry and cold. He tried to pickpocket, but was found out. The man called his friends and they broke his leg, and trying to rape him. Sasuke rescued him, and those incidents left him traumatized, and he swore to never turn into a woman again.
The complications however, was corrected, when the spirit was resealed, to help strengthen the weakening seal. He turned over a new leaf, and decided to leave his mischief behind, to start anew.
The second time he met Sasuke in his female form happened a few months ago. Since their first meeting, he had sensed that Sasuke was attracted to his female form, and gambling on this possibility, he went to Sasuke to persuade him to date Sakura, his best friend. She had just rejected again by that bastard and he decided to give it a try. His deductions proved to be quite accurate, except that Sasuke was not only attracted to his female form, but he was in love with her. The plan was successful and Naruto, even though promised him that his female form will meet him again, never intended to do so.
He couldn't understand why he kept having the same dream. For him, as long a s Sakura kept on going out with Sasuke, there is no reason for him to do it again. Anyway, he had Hinata, that was all that mattered, he thought as he prepared for another football training session, then have lunch with his beloved girlfriend.
Please review, and tell me whether it is good or bad, ok?Thanks a hell bunch!
