Don't own.
I walked slowly to the vanity, a rose laid on the table in front of me. A black ribbon tied around the stem. I stared at the oak chair. It's white pillow inviting me to sit down on it's silk. I gave in, my black dress following my lead. My dress' white swirls and gold patterns showed in the huge mirror infront of me, enticing me to fantasizw. Oh well, I thought. No shame, no game. I smiled as I turned the rose around in my hands. It was so beautiful...
"He's proud."
I turned around quickly, Tsunade smiling secretly as she closed the large oak doors against the crowd of fans. She chuckled and smiled as she kissed my forehead motherly-like.
"You were excellent, my dear." She said quietly. "Now, If you would please excuse me, I have a date to attend." I laughed.
"A date? With whom?" I asked slyly. She stopped in her tracks. "Umm...Sake!!" She said. I laughed and slapped her on the head. "With that kind of addiction, your dancing days are numbered." I warned. She waved her hand in the air dismissively and smiled. "Humor me Saku-chan!" She said and left through the back. I smiled and sighed.
I looked back to the rose in my hand. I smiled again as the butterflies in my stomach began to fly around rapidly. Oddly, I began to wonder what he looked like. Red hair, purple eyes? Maybe he was some kind of...angel? I quickly wiped away a tear that had fallen from my eye.
'Father' I thought sadly.
"Little Hana, let her mind wander." I looked up to the familiar voice.
"Sasuke-kun?" I asked nervously. He chuckled as he walked towards me. He handed me a boquet of cherry blossoms. ( He was always ironic...and very un-creative.) I smiled slightly as he lifted my chin upwards.
He wore a blue uniform, white designs around the cuffs of his sleeves, and his family's insignia on the back of his collar.
"Sasuke-kun!" I smiled and hugged him tightly. He returned the embrace and kissed my jaw.
"How have you been, Little Hana?" He asked quietly. I smiled. "Good, fine, the usual." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "You?" I asked.
"Well, I went to the cemetery yesterday..." I froze. I remembered now. His older brother had died long ago, or more of ran away. No one knew why, but he was never found, and was presumed dead.
"Sasuke-kun, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said anything!" I let go of him and leaned back into my seat. I looked down now, shame and regret running through my vains. But when I looked up, he was smiling. He patted my head and caressed my cheek.
"You sang like an angel tonight, Little Hana." He said. I smiled lightly. Sasuke's black eyes traveled to my hands.
"Who was that from?" He asked suspiciously. I looked down to my clenched hands. I was still holding the rose! How to answer this...hmm...Well Sasuke, while you were gone, I fell inlove with a voice that taught me how to sing! No. That wouldn't due. Truthful..but a little too strange.
"Well...umm..." Damn it! Err...blank. My mind is at a blank. A black blank of nothingness. Gah!!
Sasuke shook his head and smirked. "Forget about it Sakura. My carriage. Two minutes Cherry!" He said. I frowned.
"No Sasuke. I can't. My...er...tutor is very strict! I really need to rest!" I said. He laughed and shook his head.
"Fine, but your missing out Little Cherry!" He winked. I could feel the heat rising into my cheeks. I looked away.
When I heard the door slam, only then did I get up and change.
Two hours after dinner...
I slunk back into the oak chair. I'd gone to dinner with Sasuke, but I regretted it instantly. I was tired, barely able to change into my P.J,s. The white dress ended mid thigh, with thigh high sheer white socks and white slippers. Something I would never wear, but Ino did buy them for me...so I guess I could wear them to bed. My pink hair was pulled into a loose braid behind my head, that ended just above my waist. As I was about to open the door, the dark familiar voice rang through the room.
"That insolent boy! A slave of society. Seducing you to his arms! Hah!" He scoffed slightly, anger evident in his velvet voice.
"I'm sorry Angel...my soul was week, please forgive me!" I asked. I turned around to the large mirror in front of me.
"Look in the mirror Blood Blossom..." I walked toward the mirror, instinctively, I knew it was his face. A black mask covered the top half of his face, his red eyes gleamed.
"Come to me, Blood Blossom..." I heard him whisper, but his lips did not move. Those red eyes seemed so familiar...but where have I seen them. Confused I kept walking. Mesmerized as I was, I failed to hear Sasuke pounding on my door.
Short chappie. Sorry. The next one will be longer. I promise!!
