Summary: PU OOC- The scroll Sasuke had found has the ability to write things into reality. Perhaps, he could destroy Sakura's relationship with Neji but why would he want that?
"Sasuke's thoughts"
( III ) It's Over
Envy can be a positive motivator.
Let it inspire you to work harder for what you want.
Robert Bringle
I couldn't sleep... Why does my life have to be so resentful? Itachi... It's your entire fault! I curse you. I curse you. I curse you.
As more time progressed, Sasuke's eyelids became heavy so he drifted off to sleep. Unbeknownst to him something was glowing in his room. It was coming out from his bag; the scroll he had found today flew towards his table. It had marked Sasuke for being its master and now it lay opened, waiting patiently for him to write something and perhaps make his life more imaginative...

When Sasuke woke up, his empty stomach let out a great roar. If only humans didn't need to eat, life would be easier...Images of last night flashed back to Sasuke as he rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. He wanted it all to be a nightmare, the ramen, the diarrhoea and the dirty toilet bowl waiting for him to be cleaned up. He crept slowly to his bathroom hoping against hope that it was a dream after all.
Dam! Why is that crap still there? What have I done to deserve this?
Sasuke ignored the toilet and decided to brush his teeth and get dressed for the day. He didn't know what to do. Should he get someone over to help him? What if they laughed at the mess he had no control over? As he battled with his thoughts a name came up to his mind. Iruka. He looked to be a decent teacher; he doesn't seem to be the type who'd make fun of people.
Sasuke was nervous as he dialled Iruka's number.
"Hello." His voice answered.
"Hi, it's Sasuke." Said Sasuke timidly.
"Baby, come back to bed! I want you now," Shouted a female voice before she cooed softly, "Breakfast in bed..."
Oh my god... But I thought Iruka was gay, he surprises me..."Ah Sasuke, is something wrong?" Asked Iruka.
"No it's nothing important. You seem to be busy so I'll hang up now." He stated before slamming the receiver.
Who else could I call? Kakashi? He'd laugh at me for sure... But I'm desperate right now, oh well, beggars can't be choosers.
Sasuke dialled Kakashi's number and instantly regretted it.
"WHO THE F#$& do you think you are? I was in the middle of this wonderful dream. Oh oh... sorry about that, who is this?" Replied Kakashi.
"It's Sasuke..." He whispered.
"Is something wrong Sasuke?" Asked Kakashi.
"No, well yes actually. My toilet won't flush and I was wondering if you knew anybody that could help me." He replied.
"I know how to fix it. Oh yea, did you guys managed to find the scroll without me?" Questioned Kakashi.
"No, we didn't find anything."
"Must be some wild goose chase huh? They've been searching for that scroll since forever... I did that task once-"
"So Kakashi, can you fix my toilet?"
"Since there's no mission on for today, I'll come if you pay me. I used up all my money on those damn books. I wish they weren't so addictive..." Stated Kakashi.
"Ok... I'll meet you at 3 in the afternoon. One last thing, do you know how I could get rid of-"
"Just pour a bucket of water in and you can flush it out manually. Ok, I'll see you then but don't expect me to be early." Said Kakashi and then the line went dead.
That wasn't so bad was it, Sasuke?
Sasuke was walking happily along the street minding his own business. He wasn't paying attention to the ground as he breathed in the beautiful summer scent. Suddenly he felt something being squished under his feet. NO! It can't be, he had enough of this already.
I looked down to see the brownish mass that I have just stepped on. My gaze travelled to a suspicious looking dog. Akamaru, Kiba's mongrel...
Akamaru was barking at Sasuke now. The dog wanted to tell him that it was Pakkun who had left the mess there. However, Sasuke couldn't understand dog language. He looked at the dog shit on his sandals and then to Akamaru. Back and forth and he concluded that it was Kiba's lowlife beast who had dared to dirty his 'new' sandals. Ok, they were one month old but to Sasuke that was still new...
In one quick motion, Sasuke dived down to grasp hold of Akamaru.
"You will pay for this!" He shouted before he started using Akamaru's fur to wipe the poo off his precious sandals.
"Nooooo! What are you doing to my dog?" Screamed Kiba from a distance as he listened to Akamaru's soft whimpers.
"He said that he didn't do that." Translated Kiba as he pointed to the poo and added, "I demand you to apologise to Akamaru!"
Sasuke dropped the dog and answered, "I won't apologise to a dog..."
"I'll give you one last chance, if you don't. I'll teach you to never mess with me or MY dog." Yelled Kiba who's voice was amplified by Akamaru barking angrily at Sasuke.
"Fine!" Replied Sasuke before he marched off to breakfast.
Sasuke had wanted to buy the delicious looking sushi set but he ended up buying a bread roll. He didn't know how much Kakashi would charge him and he didn't have much money on him at the moment. Sasuke was a big spender, from clothing to luxurious food.
I smiled when the mess in the toilet bowl disappeared... Today wasn't so bad after all...
As he entered his room, he felt another presence. The hair on his back stuck out as he shivered uneasily. The room was cold, very cold, just like the tunnel he had entered yesterday. His eyes froze as the feather from the scroll he had found floated towards him and landed softly in his hand. He gasped as words began to appear on the piece of parchment.
"Write on me, I dare you..."Sasuke was confused but he realised the tip of his feather was filled with black ink. He didn't know what to write so he jotted down the first thing that came into his mind. He studied his messy room with a million pieces of clothing, books, and paper that trailed to his lounge. He also had a lot of dirty dishes, dirty clothing and dirty rubbish to take care of.
I want Sakura to be my maid and clean up my apartment...As soon as Sasuke realised what he had written. He wanted to cross it out. Too late, the words have already dissolved into the paper. Amazing. Yet weird at the same time. He wondered what was so special about this scroll and his question was soon answered. Sasuke became dizzy and drifted off to a deep slumber.

When Sasuke awoke for the second time in the day. He realised he was not in his own apartment. Something was wrong as he felt his clothing cling tightly to his body. He looked down to see a white embroidered hem. His eyes trailed to the flair of his black skirt. Black skirt? The house seemed to be unoccupied as he rushed to the nearest bathroom.
Sasuke froze.
He was dressed in a black maid's dress with a white apron wrapped around his waist. Two flimsy straps went around his shoulders and he studied the criss-cross of strings tied around his chest area. Terror struck him. Sasuke lifted his skirt and dug his hand to his G-string underwear to see if 'it' was still there. He sighed with relief...
PHEW!Suddenly he heard a female voice. He recognised straight away that it was Sakura. This was her house and she was talking on the phone with somebody. It amazed him that her voice became deeper and she had stopped whining since... A week or so ago. He knew it was wrong to eavesdrop but he was also curious.
Sakura's door was slightly opened and he could see the soft shades of pink. Wait! It wasn't just pink there were some cherry blossom designs on it.
"Tenten I give up. Who's birthday is it?" Asked Sakura.
"It's Neji's birthday in two days! He wants to celebrate it privately with you..." Teased Tenten.
"No way, you're lying!"
"It's true, tell her Neji!" Demanded Tenten.
"Neji's on the phone? Does that mean he's been listening all along?" Asked Sakura.
Silence...A deep voice broke up the tensity. "I want you... Sakura," he said softly and the line was cut because Sakura had hung up. She was too shocked to speak but a smile slowly crept up her face.
"He likes me..." She whispered.
Beeeee- be le be le beeeee- be le be le...
"Hello?" Answered Sakura softly.
"Hey forehead-girl. It's me Ino." Said Ino.
"Oh it's only you..." Sighed Sakura and added, "What's up Ino?"
"Guess who's birthday is coming up?"
"Neji's?"
"NO! It's Sas-u-ke-kun's birthday in three weeks!"
"Oh Ino-chan. I don't think I can keep up this rivalry between you and me for Sasuke... I've given up, you can have him if you like..." Said Sakura.
Her words... They hurt more than a slap to my face...
Durian: I thought this was the best chapter so far, it might get better with the Neji/Saku thing kicking in. Please remember this is a Parallel Universe so it's slightly different to the one you're used to. Age has no boundaries but I do like to see the cast graduating the chuuin exam soon.
Ikuiku- I'll just leave the first page as it is and do you know Japanese, maybe you could help me... Gomen nasai minna-san, but Durian is busy with her exams so she'll proof-read and fix up all her grammar mistakes later. Right now, she can spot around 5 mistakes per chapter, oh well just proves that nobody's perfect... XD
