You Gotta Fly to Survive

Chapter Nine: A Dream Come True

The night was dark and peaceful. All forest animals were sound asleep, nocturnal ones the only awake. Quietly, Sasuke led his friend through the night, her eyes covered with a blindfold.

"Sasuke-san? Are we there yet?" she asked as her hand touched the rough bark of a tree while she held onto him with the other.

"Just a little further Temari. We're almost there." Small twigs snapped as he led her to the destination. He let out a pleased breath as they halted to a stop. "Okay. You can take it off."

Letting his hand go the blond quickly slid off the cloth as her eyes widened with astonishment. The two were in a open field blanketed with the dark color of the night. There were stars as far as the eye could see an there was no sign of anyone in sight.

"Oh Sasuke-san. It's so beautiful."

The raven haired boy looked over at her to see twinkles of the starlight fill her eyes. She looked so happy. They had only met a few weeks ago but they were already inseparable. It didn't take long for word to reach out to the other villagers either. Soon the whole village was in a hustle and bust about the only Uchiha survivor catching himself a girl. And a foreigner no less!

No one knew where the girl came from, but all they knew was she just recently moved into the village. Countless people have asked where she was staying and all got the same answer that she was temporarily staying with the boy in his apartment until her parents got settled in.

Sasuke watched with an uncommon smile on his face as the blond twirled around in the grass like a small girl. Her face was lit with happiness as her feet slid in the soft hair of nature. It took Sasuke a moment to realize her shoes had been discarded and left near him.

The moon shined brightly above as his angel seemed to be gracefully dancing to the silent music made by the stars. Her new mini skirt spun along with her body as she moved to the unheard beat. Her body seemed to go with the fluent moves and as easily her pure white wings slowly unfolded from her back. They gave a lit flutter then lifted her from the ground. She spun up to the nighttime sky, her body positioned right in the middle of the moon as fireflies suddenly started to come out. Their small lights aided the glow of the moon and stars making it feel as though time itself had stopped.

Sasuke was lost in her dazzling appearance, her position adding to the feel that she was not of this world. He watched as her body slowly fell backward and glided into backflips until she softly landed on the grass, her arms outstretched.

Sasuke smiled again and headed toward the girl, both his shoes and hers in his hands. He set them down gently as he seated himself in front of her head. He stared down at her face to see her eyes closed.

"Sasuke-san." she said.

"Enjoying yourself?" he asked as he stroked a few strands of her hair away from her face.

"Uh-huh." she said, sort of in a low whisper. "I've never been able to fly just because before. It's like a dream come true." She pulled herself up and sild next to Sasuke, her head leaning on his shoulder as one of her wings drooped over his body. Pulling up his arm, Sasuke wrapped it around Temari. "I wish we could stay like this forever."

"Me, too." Sasuke said in a lower whisper.

It was a bright afternoon, team seven taking their everyday lunch break. Naruto and Sakura had seen a lift in Sasuke's attitude over the past weeks. Naruto thought it was because of that cute new foreigner that was staying with him and was pretty upbeat about it. With Sasuke turned away from the group he could have as much time with Sakura as he wanted.

Sakura on the other hand was having doubts about that girl. That skank. What was she trying to prove? The nerve of her staying with Sasuke. Her Sasuke. There was certainly going to be hell to pay. She was not about to give up with Sasuke just because some foreigner was moving in.

She and Naruto had just started to eat their bentos when they noticed Sasuke wasn't eating. To be more precise, he didn't have anything to eat. She was just about to offer Sasuke some of her lunch when she saw that...that...foreigner come into view. She was running toward the group with a basket in her hands. Sakura's eyebrows twitched as she came up to them.

"Hello there Sasuke-san!" she greeted. "And hello to you guys two, Sakura-chan and Naruto-san." Naruto waved as well as Sakura who also grunted on the inside. "Sorry I'm late Sasuke-san."

"It's alright Temari." Sasuke told her in his cool 'whatever' voice.

Temari only smiled as they sat down near Naruto and Sakura. She started to unpack what was in the basket. She offered Sasuke some riceballs who accepted. She turned toward the others. "Would you guys like any? I made enough for everyone."

"Don't mind if I do!" Naruto stated as he grabbed two.

Sakura kindly rejected them as she watched Temari wiped off some rice from Sasuke's face with her fingers.

That foreigner was going down.
