[Hirunaka no Ryuusei AU.]
It was there shining so beautiful with the morning sun. I may fall and get hurt a couple of times, but it was always there to push me forward, guiding me to where I belong.
This is a different dimension. Konoha is a whole different dimension. I found myself walking from one street to another only to return to the same spot where I started. Tried asking the locals if they knew someone named "Tsunade" but no one seems to know her or her address. Luckily, I came across Konoha park and found a spot to rest. "I want to go home." I muttered, trying to hold back tears. Still can't believe my mother just sent her daughter alone to Konoha.
"Eh!? Konoha. Why?" surprised by my mother's sudden revelation "You see, your father got promoted and his company wants him to relocate to Kumo." my mother explained, "They say it's a place where you can't fend by yourself and I can't let that happen to your father." Liar. "Then why am I going to Konoha and who will take care of me?" I asked "I've already talked to your Aunt and she's delighted to hear that you are going to live with her, plus It's a great place to study, meet cute boys and fall in love" she said winking and started laughing.
I sat alone on one of the benches, getting anxious. I looked up as if I'm asking someone from above to save me and as if on cue, I saw a shooting star across the blue sky. "Is that…" I stand up following the trails of the fallen star. I remembered that I once saw a shooting star when I got lost before and it was my life saver, or so what I believe. With my sudden action, I suddenly felt dizzy-lightheaded. "No way..." was all I could muster, unable to hold myself any longer. Before I lost my consciousness, I felt an arm holding me. My shooting star.
Waking up in an unfamiliar place, I sat up immediately and surveyed my surroundings. "Oh, you're awake" an unknown man approached me from behind the sofa. I want to ask him who he was and where I am but I was scared and my body felt weak. "Thank goodness, you are awake" wait. I know that voice. "Sakura, I miss you!" She put down the tray she's holding and wrapped her arms around me. "Auntie Tsunade!" I hugged her back, "Uhm..Where am I?" I ask her as I look around. "You're in my shop. If I don't have any shifts at the hospital, I usually stay here and manage it and also, I bake you some snacks." Aunt Tsunade then placed a tray containing a glass of milk and some cookies on my lap. I grabbed one after the other and started eating like a hungry lion. "It seems that you fainted due to starvation" the foreign man started laughing at my now stuffed face. I looked at Tsunade wondering who this guy is, "Oh, this is Kakashi, He's my junior back in college. He's a reliable friend, he was the one who brought you here" I bowed down a little as a sign of thanks and stared at his weird accessory. "What? Does my mask seem weird to you?" He chuckled "I was confused when I saw you at the park about to faint and I initially thought that I should bring you to the hospital, then I saw Tsunade's address on the piece of paper you were holding so I brought you here instead" he continued. I bowed down again and thanked him. Tsunade did the same thing and went back to the kitchen to get some more snacks. "Hey!" he leaned forward, his face inches closer to mine "Is your hair really pink?" feeling nervous and surprised, I nod in agreement. "Really? Then I should call you Hana-chan." Puzzled, I asked him "Ha-Hana?" Kakashi patted my head and smiled softly "Let's get along, Hana-chan."
First thing I know in Konoha, Is that weird guy.
My first day at school and people are already talking and laughing at my pink hair. Great!. After going to the teacher's office to get my school schedule, I was introduced by my advisor to the class. "Ms. Haruno, please sit down beside Mr. Uchiha" pointing at the raven haired boy wearing headphones "Sasuke, are you listening? We're going to start our class." Iruka-Sensei then proceeds to start his lesson. "Nice to meet you." I greeted him nicely only to be ignored. I sat down feeling awkward and a bit annoyed. What a jerk. "Okay class, please bring out your book and open to page 47." I checked my bag only to realize that I forgot to bring mine. Oh for heaven's sake, first day of class and I'm already screwed. First my hair ,then this guy and now my book. I nervously looked at Sasuke and whispered "Sorry to bother, but I forgot my book and I.." Without a word, he slid his book towards the end of his desk. Or maybe he's nice. "Thank you." I moved my desk closer to his. I reached out to adjust the book when accidentally our fingers touched. Horrified, Sasuke aggressively pushed his book towards my end. "Tsk! I don't need it." I wanted to ask if I did something wrong, but I was too stunned to say anything.
The lunch bell rang and all the students started to form groups and unpack their lunch. Feeling left out, I went out and looked for a different place to eat. As I walked through the hallway, I was surprised to see Kakashi and he's busy discussing with two students. He then noticed my presence and excused himself. "Surprise that I am here?" I nod in response "I'm one of the faculty members here at Konoha High and I'm also going to be one of your teachers." he then continued "So how's your first day." I shuddered "It was scary and it's hard to have friends here. We all grew up together in Suna so it was easy and I got along with everyone" The silver haired man lowered his head "Then ask them directly. If I was a student and you asked me to be your friend, I'll be happy." he smiled as he patted my head. It's the same thing he did when we first met. I swear, I could feel the heat across my cheeks.
It was already dismissal time when I found him storing his shoes in his locker, he whom I wanted to be friends with. I took a deep breath and gathered my courage as I approached him, "Sasuke-kun, Thank you for lending me your book and also-" with no more words coming out my mouth, Sasuke continued to walk towards the exit. Not wanting to lose the chance, I followed and grabbed his arm. That's when I found out.
Eh? Could it be that Sasuke is shy around girls?
"What are you doing?" he stated as he tried to hide his face. Wanting to verify if my inkling was right, I held up my finger, ready to poke him. Fearing what I'm about to do, he slowly backs away. I started to attack him from his arm to his waist "Tsk. Stop it" ignoring his protest and continuing to poke him. "Annoying" Sasuke shoves my hands away from him as he continues to cover his now blushing cheeks. "I'll kill you if you tell anybody." he muttered, turning his back. "Then in return, let's be friends" I called him out. "Huh? Are you stupid? Ask somebody else." the now annoyed Sasuke snorted "But you were my seatmate. I want to greet and eat lunch together with someone seated beside me." I explained, "So please! Let's be friends, Sasuke-kun" bowing down, pleading. I heard him sigh "Sasuke's fine. But if I found out that you told someone about that, I'm going to kill you."
And on my second day, I met this guy who has some kind of aversion around girls.
