+Borrowed Time+

Sasuke Uchiha, a successful teenager bound by the past, meets a girl sleeping on his bed. Claiming to be an angel examinee, Sakura persisted to stay with him and finish her last exam on Earth. A troublesome meeting of a human and an unknown being, where one is pure and the other is sinful.


Chapter 1: An Angel Appeared on my Bed

The zephyr winds hushed past him, giving him the chill of an unusual evening of his life.

He had his eyes closed, giving in the inebriation. It was the night when he had taken a step to a new life. An inception to live independently from his relations, the influential family of the Uchiha, a dominant and important body in the world; neither it be a form of running away or a piece of a tragic past, Sasuke Uchiha, the youngest of the Uchiha had a definitive course he decided by himself to live with.

The wind brushed by his ebony spiked hair. Opening his eyes, he found himself leaning on a car parking at a hotel lot.

A brown spiked hair person put his arm around Sasuke's shoulders, "Oi Sasuke, want me to show you how to remove car breaks?" Kiba insisted as Sasuke began walking followed by a rowdy group.

"Do that on your own time" Sasuke replied not showing any interest to do anything apart from getting himself back to his condominium.

Kiba clung on Sasuke's arm and started role playing a fangirl, "Demo, Demo~ Sasuke-kun~ I want want to show you" he pouted trying his best to imitate a fangirl. Kiba turned his head back to the group of boys with them, "Ne~?" he said in a kawaii high-toned girl voice.

"Shut up! I'm drunk, you're drunk, go home" Sasuke commanded as he stopped for a while to lean on one of the cars in order to get rid of the wobbly picture he's seeing

"Oi, Oi" Kiba looked at the car with delight seen on his eyes despite the fact that he's drunk, "Hmm… Look at this car Sasuke, it's so luxurious I want to destroy it" Kiba and the others laughed.

Sasuke ignored them and continued on his way to his car. He took out his car keys and opened the door of the driver's seat.

He stopped and looked at the guys following him, "What are you doing following me here?"

"Of course, we'll hitch" Kiba answered immediately, he turned his head to face the group with them, "right?" and simultaneously, the guys with them answered, "Right!"

With assurance that he's on a proper condition to drive, Sasuke turned on his engine and gave the group an answer, "Fine"

"Yosh!" they went in the car as Sasuke rubbed his eyes to clear his view

"Oi, Sasuke, start driving!" Kiba lightly smacked the back of Sasuke's head

Sasuke shot him a glare and with that simple gesture, everyone turned silent until Sasuke said, "I will, don't command me" he drove off with his body half conscious of what he is doing.

Sasuke abruptly opened his eyes.

The sounds of the water from the shower, the warm rush of water bathing his body, a peaceful time and an entirely different scenario from what his recurrence showed him, a painful memory he wished had never existed.

He narrowed his eyes, 'It's been a year' his leaned forearm against the wall supported his head resting at the back of his palm.

'Nothing has changed'

He turned off the shower, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He washed his face again in front of the sink, attempting to forget the recollection he had.

Living alone in his deluxe condominium, regarded as one of the most anticipated personalities, an attractive handsome man; at the age of 19, Sasuke Uchiha already has the most easygoing life, a life he lived with the usual fame and inconceivable wealth, indeed, everyday life for him had never changed-

Changed…?

Upon opening the door of his bedroom and seeing his bed, he completely stopped on his track and eyed a living entity enjoying the service his bed is giving. On top of it all, the pink haired girl is soundlessly sleeping in peace.

Sasuke analyzed the appearance of the suspicious idiot who shamelessly intruded his room. A petite figured girl with long straight pink hair wearing a white and pink colored Lolita-like dress with butterfly sequins, leg-length pink and white stripped socks and knee-length white flat boots. But what got his attention the most is the pair of small flipped wings attached in her back

This suspicious idiot cannot be a thief, for thieves are supposed to hide themselves in the shadows no matter what. A fan girl can be an option but most of his fan girls are vicious and shallow unlike this suspicious idiot who freely slept on his bed.

At this point, what does a celebrity do when some suspicious idiot suddenly appears out of nowhere? And in addition, sleeping on his bed without bothering to take off her footwear?

Option A. Get a phone and contact the police of the condominium he's staying in

Option B. Wake up the suspicious idiot and kindly ask the idiot to leave

Option C. Carry the suspicious idiot and drop it from the window

Up to this point, in Sasuke's terms: Creature on his Bed = Suspicious Idiot. And before he decided to choose Option C, the suspicious idiot began to stir.

She opened her eyes, revealing bright emerald-colored eyes. She carefully looked at her surroundings as she rubbed her eyes for a better picture of the dimension she's in right now

"A-a-re?"

Sasuke frowned at the girl as he watched her sit up, scratching her head and yawning; this suspicious idiot completely invaded his bed. In the manner the idiot is showing, it seems like she's not even sure of the place she's currently in right now.

Not giving the idiot a chance to realize the situation, "What does a girl in costume doing inside my room?" he glared at the idiot

Without looking up, she continued to rub her eyes as she murmured; "Costume?" she stopped rubbing her eyes and tilted her head to look at the source of the monotonous voice she just heard.

Then, a half naked figure is standing in front of her. She instantly froze and in some time will be completely eroded by every second that passes by. After the bell of realization alarmed inside her head, she thought frantically, 'W-why is there suddenly a half naked man in front of me?! And and!' she stared at the flaming glare directed right at her, 'Why is he staring at me with such sinister eyes?!' she shook her head to remove the sudden thinking.

She calmly looked at the man's face as she furrowed her brows, "Is he the next person I'll be looking for?"

Sasuke looked at her questionably. Who is going to take care of who again? Before saying an unpleasant statement, he spoke up, "Who are you?"

She blinked and just gaped at him. After a few seconds, she turned back her head and murmured to herself, "I'm pretty sure humans can't see angels right?" she wrinkled her eyebrows as she rubbed her chin with her thumb and point finger. She nodded, "Humans cannot see us, and that's a fa-"

"Idiot"

"A-are?" she looked back and stared at him "I wonder who he is talking to…Ah!" she beamed and raised her arms with sparkles visible around her, "It's time to work! Yosha~" But before she stepped out from the bed, her hair was pulled back by a strong force, "W-w-what's happening?!"

Before she gets an answer, Sasuke pulled her hair down the bed making her face him. He glared harder as punishment for the ignorance she did to him earlier. He did not let go of his hand grasping her pink locks, "Now, speak up" he said with a tone indicating a warning

She looked at him with slight fear. She had never seen eyes as frightening as his. In order to clear her confusion, she asked, "You…can see me?"

"Who wouldn't?" Sasuke leaned down closer to her face, "Explain yourself, what are you doing inside my room?"

From her position, she can see a full view of Sasuke's toned torso. Even a seraph or a goddess would be captivated by the sight she is seeing up close right now. She closed her eyes tightly, "I-i-i…" she stuttered, "…I-I-I'm Sa-sakura"

"Hn" Sasuke stood straight and started walking back to the bathroom after seeing the sudden discomfort from the idiot intruder. He closed the bathroom door leaving the girl staring at the door he just shut down.

Sakura blinked twice. After the scary actions he did, he'll just leave like that? She breathed heavily and replayed what happened the moment she woke up.

She was "greeted" by a half naked man who claimed that he can see her…body and soul. Pulling her pink locks and sending her killing glares proved this claim of his.

She's still sitting on Sasuke's bed, absorbing all that happened and trying to accept that she needs to keep up with him until she gets the answer to her last test. Now, all she needs to do is explain her purpose to that person.

The bathroom door opened and Sasuke came out, this time, wearing casual clothes. He put his hands inside his pockets and walked closer to her. He stopped in front of her, "What do you need?" Coming head-on to his room, saying that she's not supposed to be seen by humans and not attempting to escape, there's something unusual about the girl in front of him.

"E-to" she grinned nervously. How can she explain something that humans don't usually believe in, "A-actually…I'm an examinee to become an angel," she rubbed her temples, "I-I don't know if you'll believe me b-but the reason I suddenly appeared here is because this is my last test to become an angel" she grinned nervously, 'Now…what? I wonder if he believed me'

The next thing she felt is a hand grabbing the back of her dress and dragging her near the window. Sasuke lifted her up the ground and attempted to throw her outside the window

"Wa-wa-wait!!" Sakura sat down the floor as Sasuke held her arm. She panted, releasing the tension from the guy's dangerous move, she's certain that she's currently at the top floor of the building she's in, she saw a glimpse of death.

She looked at him with guiltless eyes, "Mou~ I'm telling the truth, I came up above and I'm sent here for this last part of the exam"

"Then, if you are telling the truth…" Sasuke raised her arm higher forcing Sakura to stand up, he looked at her with bored chibi eyes, "then you can fly right?"

Sakura's eye twitched, "Eh?"

Sasuke pointed his finger outside the window, "So if I throw you outside, it won't be a problem since you can fly"

"Wa-wait!"

Too bad, he didn't bother to listen to anything she says at the moment, "Now, let's try that" he lifted her up on his second attempt to throw the suspicious idiot out of the window.

Sakura lightly pushed her little fists on Sasuke's chest "S-stop it, I cannot fly!"

"Hn"

Sakura raised a finger in attempt to explain her small wings at the back, "Y-you know" she stuttered in between, "e-even though I have small wings behind me, I cannot use those to fly"

Sakura released herself from Sasuke and put on a strained smile on her face, "Only real angels can have big wings that can be used to fly" she smiled nervously as she continued, "Examinees like me can only have this small wing"

With a sudden change of mood, Sakura brightened enjoying the discussion, "B-but you know, examinees can take on two forms. One is this soul form and the other is the human form. And when I'm in human form, these wings won't be seen anymore"

Sasuke looked at her with uninterested eyes as Sakura continued, "T-that's why, in order for me to have those amazing wings and become an angel, I have to watch over you and finish the exam"

"The truth is," she continued as she looked at him in wonder, "humans don't see examinees or angels…but you can. T-that's why…now that you can see me, I think it would be a bit troublesome for the both of us" she grinned nervously waiting for a response

When she heard nothing and only received Sasuke's frown, she continued, "T-there are 3 parts for this exam. Each part contains certain topic and I'm now on my last part of the exam…I-I-I have to watch over you and get a meaning for the topic…'Happiness'" she tried to grin to lessen the dangerous aura she's feeling.

Another grabbing and dragging session for Sakura, but this time, God spared her; Sasuke decided to dispose her properly using the main door.

While her body feels the pain for getting dragged down the stairs, she cried in chibi tears, 'What else can I say to make him believe me?'

Sasuke opened the main door and threw her outside, not showing any interest on her. Sakura sat down the corridor in the building looking up at Sasuke, she pouted a little, "B-but I'm telling the truth"

"Stay away from me", Sasuke turned back as he was about to close the door and said in a serious manner,

"My life has nothing you are looking for"

'Huh?'

RING! RING! RING!

Before completely closing the door behind him, Sasuke grabbed the cellphone inside his pocket and flipped it open to answer, "Hel-"

But before he even finished his sentence, a loud deafening girl's voice screeched right on Sasuke's ears, a direct attack indeed. Sasuke removed the phone away from his ears to avoid further hearing damages.

"Sasuke-kun!!~ This is Karin! Karin! Do you remember me?!" the girl over the phone named Karin continued, sending fangirl hearts to Sasuke even through phone.

Sasuke didn't reply, denoting either he doesn't remember the girl and he's annoyed or he remembers the girl as the most daring among all his fangirls and he's annoyed.

"A-no" her tone of voice changed seductively, "Later…at tonight's party, I bet you'll not go with anyone else besides me, right? You're waiting for my call, ne?"

That's right, the mighty Sasuke forgot about the party. It's not in his attribute to neither like parties nor acknowledge the importance of it. In his term, party = crowd of people = annoyance. He has to be a different person in order to respond to the people.

For the last few days, he kept on receiving missed calls from unknown numbers, and for today, after 68 missed calls, he managed to receive one call.

Karin continued blabbing as Sasuke tries to remember what his manager told him to do for the party

Flashback:

"An-o, Sasuke-kun" a long violet haired girl with silver eyes named Hyuuga Hinata said, "There will be a party tomorrow night for the anniversary of the company" she showed a small smile

Sasuke let out a small sigh, "Another party?"

Hinata chuckled nervously. She knows that the next statement she will say will result to a day when she first saw Sasuke's most infuriated expression, "Well…This is a different party…You have to be with a date"

Sasuke didn't reply.

"The president organized this event and he specially told me to tell you that you have to bring a date"

Still no reply

"…e-especially that you are this year's model of the year" Hinata stayed soft spoken. Even though he's not replying, she knows that he doesn't like the idea at all, "B-but you know" her pale face started to show pink blushes, "Even I, who's not dating anyone will have to bring a date" she fiddled her fingers as she looks down, "I-I guess it will not be e-asy to ask"

End of Flashback

For nineteen years, he never had an interest in anyone particularly in a girl. On those years, only petty girls are what he can remember, girls who are materialistic. Until now, wherever he goes, only those girls are what he can see.

MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!

He turned his head to the source of the sound and found a kitten in between the half closed main door. He reached for the knob and slightly opened the door finding the pink haired girl crouched and playing with the kitten.

"B-but you know, examinees can take on two forms. One is this soul form and the other is the human form. And when I'm in human form, these wings won't be seen anymore"

Sasuke hung up his phone and placed it back to his pocket. A bright idea sure came inside his smart mind.

He walked up to the girl, remembering every detail she mentioned to him earlier and if she's telling the truth about being an angel examinee. He stopped right in front of her as the kitten run away from them.

Sakura looked up and gave him a look of wonder, curious of the sudden presence of the Uchiha in front of her.

"I thought normal beings can't see you?" Sasuke asked clarifying the statement she said of who can see her and who can't

"Ah," she looked at the direction the kitten ran in to then turned to him, "Animals can see more unnatural existence in this world more than humans do, that's why that kitten can see me" she looked at him and formed a small smile

"You can turn into human" Sasuke continued

She kept the small smile and said, "Yes, I can turn into a human"

"Show me"

"Eh?" Sakura wrinkled her eyebrow, "Okay, I'll show you" she closed her eyes and a small light emitted from the wings. The feathers from the small wings scattered and dramatically disappeared, leaving Sakura's back wingless.

Sasuke stared at her in astonishment. The absence of wings at her back would be sufficient to make him believe of her true intentions as of the moment.

Sakura opened her eyes, "There! I'm now an examinee in human form!" she smiled brightly, thinking she just showed a wonderful magic show.

Sasuke smirked as he crouched down to see her in eye level, "You cannot leave unless you get something out from me, is that right?"

Sakura sweated, alarmed by the sudden movement and moreover to the sudden closeness of distance between them, "Y-yes"

"You can stay and live here"

Her eyes lightened up, happy of the sudden confirmation from the Uchiha, "Is that true?!"

"And in exchange of your stay here" he narrowed his eyes deepening his eye contact

Her smile faltered, the person in front of her is obviously not the kind of person who'll give out something for free, "What is it?"

"You will work for me as a servant"
