Chapter 2: Small talk
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Sasuke?"
"Sasuke wake up"
Sasuke's eyes slowly opened and revealed a tiny female creature with wings flying above his head. She was no more than about five inches tall yet her features are what amazed Sasuke the most. Her wings were decorated with spirals and waves while her lavender complexion radiated what light there was in the room. She had semi-long silver hair that was put up in some kind of loose braid and she wore a sleeveless silver dress that came to her small delicate knees.
"Get up off the floor before you get sick"
Her words brought Sasuke back to reality.
"Did you hear me? Get off the floor, otherwise you'll become ill."
Sasuke got up off the floor and looked at her once more.
"Who are you?" He asked
"My name is Aurora Borealis, but you may call me Dawn."
Sasuke stood there in awe
"Come back to reality dear child and tell me your name."
"Sasuke Uchiha"
"Oh? So your him, I have heard much about you."
"From who?"
"No one that you know"
"But wait, why did you come here in the first place?"
"I was hidden inside a small box and death was the key to my release."
"What do you mean?"
"Your mother told me before sealing me in there, that if anything were to happen to her
that I watch over you. Like a guardian."
Tears came into Sasuke's eyes once more at the thought of his mother's death.
"Don't cry Sasuke, ill always be here."
"Always?" he asked in curiosity
"Yes, always."
Sasuke started at her long and hard before walking out of his room towards the kitchen. He took a couple of tomatoes out and started to slice them silently while Dawn was hovering over him watching. Once he was done he took a slice and ate it then cut a small piece and offered it to Dawn. She took it gratefully and nibbled on the piece while Sasuke put everything away. Silence once again took a hold of the two until Sasuke broke the silence.
"If you're a fairy, then aren't you able to do special stuff?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know, maybe cast spells or magic?"
Dawn sighed then looked at Sasuke with a smile on her face.
"Yes but most of it has to do with flora and fauna"
"What is flora and fauna?"
"Plants and animals."
"Oh, ok."
Without thinking Sasuke reached up with both of his hands and gently clutched dawn.
She didn't expect it but didn't care that much either. She could fit perfectly in his hands and loved the attention and curiosity of the child before her. 'No wonder Mikoto wanted me to be his guardian' she thought to herself. "He is such an innocent child."
"Dawn?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
The next couple of days came by very quickly, and now was the day Sasuke had to go back to the academy. Sasuke gathered his things and before he left, a question struck his head.
"Dawn?"
"Yes?"
"How am I able to take you with me to the academy?"
"Leave that to me"
Sasuke watched Dawn as she turned into a hummingbird and perched herself on his shoulder.
"Onward!" she chirped and they both left giggling.
They made it to the academy, but no one was there. Sasuke looked at the clock and slapped himself on the head.
"We got here early." He said agitated, "really, really, early."
"Well instead of standing here until its time to go in why don't we sit on that swing over there?"
Sasuke agreed and they waited about an hour or so before all of the other children came passing through the doors. Once in the classroom all of the girls in the class were arguing with each other about who is going to sit by Sasuke. He was obviously not happy to hear all of their winy yelling and would much rather sit by himself. Unfortunately, a blonde girl who goes by the name Ino noticed Dawn in her hummingbird form, "Hey look! Sasuke's got a pet bird on his shoulder." Sasuke twitched when he heard that and was about to run for it, to bad Iruka-sensei came in before that could happen though.
"Take your seats cla- Sasuke? What is that on your shoulder?" The entire class looked straight at Sasuke.
"A bird"
"Why do you have a bird on your shoulder?"
Sasuke didn't know how to answer so he shrugged his shoulders.
Iruka sighed and turned around to write some things on the chalkboard.
Most of the class turned toward the front of the room but some still had their eyes fixed on Sasuke.
As soon as it was time to go home, Sasuke ran back to his house with dawn barely hanging on, in order to avoid his fan-girls.
Dawn turned back into her former self and fluttered onto the kitchen table.
"Damn, those girls are very annoying aren't they Sasuke?"
Sasuke nodded his head in agreement and walked to his room with Dawn following him.
He threw himself on his bed and his fairy lightly landed right beside him.
"There is to much noise at the academy"
"You learn to live with it everyday.
After those final words they both drifted off to sleep and didn't move at all.
