Fairy Dust
Summary: I'm seeing things…I'm seeing things…I did NOT just catch a fairy…She did NOT have pink hair…She was NOT cute…UCHIHA SASUKE DOES NOT USE THE WORD CUTE, OKAY?!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A Sullen Note: Thank you all for the reviews. I consider 17 a high number for only a preview…So here are some of the responses.
Mariana….Actually, I already planned everything out. Sorry, but that doesn't how you hoped it will go…
'uniquegirl'…Hm. Thanks. Though I'm not actually sure if that's a compliment or an insult…Insert sweat drop here.
tragic serenade…Why, thank you. I love a stubborn Sakura, too.
i-x3-Shikamaru…Of course I'll continue. If I don't, you would be upset now, wouldn't you?
Zani-chan…Thank you. I try my best to be as original as I can.
Aslan'sWhiteWitch…Yes. Navi was annoying yet very helpful, pointing things out that was very quite obvious. As I read my story over, I did realize I can do better. Very sorry.
Blackbelt…My, my, my. I haven't heard from your for a long time. Yes, I hope my fan fiction gets updated soon. It annoys me deeply how I only get finished halfway. Hm. You update your stories, too, ne?
Chapter One:
Already Starting Trouble?
"Come on!" Sakura whined as she kicked and thrashed inside the bottle. A crack appeared on it. Didn't she see the tiny sticker on it saying 'FRAGILE'?
Sasuke sighed as he watched the bottle get tortured from the pink haired fairy's wails and cries and thrashing. Sorry, but a sacrifice had to be made to keep what was happening to the bottle to happen to him.
"Can't you at LEAST let me out of the bottle?!" She screeched as she pounded her tiny fists on the glass. All the Uchiha did was glance at her through the corner of his eye and simple state,
"No."
And that little action made Sakura tick.
"GAAAH! YOU POMPOUS, GOOD FOR NOTHING-" The fairy started naming all the horrible names under the sun. Sasuke rolled his eyes at her immature behavior.
She was little fairy. What harm could she do?
Crack. Crack.
He slowly started to worry as he watched the crack on the bottle get larger. Damn, this tiny little girl…er…fairy, that wasn't even the size of his HAND had so much strength!
"LET. ME. OUT. NOW!" Sakura emphasized every word with a pound on the class. And finally…
The bottle burst into pieces. Some glass pieces lay scattered on the floor while most were on the desk. At the moment, he was too lazy to clean up the mess.
The only thing that could keep the monster from attacking him, poking his handsome obsidian eyes out, from ruining his gravity-defying hair, and nagging him to death. Everything he found…
Annoying.
"MUCH BETTER!" She put her hands on her hips and sighed deeply. Her wings fluttered. "I can breathe again!" She chimed in a sing-song voice. Sasuke sweat dropped. She couldn't breathe?
"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?" The Uchiha asked as he raised an eyebrow.
Sakura glared at him. "Like that would make a difference." At that statement, Sasuke DID have to agree. He'd probably have more fun watching her run out of air.
Seeing Sasuke agree with her, it ticked her off. He didn't care if a lady- FAIRY, if a FAIRY was stuck in a bottle and couldn't breathe? Why she ought to-
"YOU-" He flinched when she went right in his face. Literally. All he could see at the moment was every detail of Sakura's head. Especially, large emerald eyes. They were almost the only thing he could see. And it was scaring him.
Pfft. The great Uchiha Sasuke. Scared of eyes? From a FAIRY?
"-ARE TAKING ME TO SCHOOL WITH YOU."
Sasuke slammed his fist on his desk while glaring back at the fairy who had her arms crossed. Stubborn. Both of them were.
"No. You're staying here." Sasuke ordered as he took the fairy in his hands and squeezed a bit. He cackled a bit inwardly as he watched her hit him with her tiny fists.
"Grrrr." Then something 'tragic' happened.
She bit him.
This took a few seconds for our Uchiha to comprehend until he decided to react.
"…WHAT THE-" He waved his hand. "-FREAKIN' FAIRY GIRL BITING MY HAND!"
This girl- I mean, fairy just knew how to make him out of character, huh?
"Mmmph!" She said through her teeth. That sounded like a 'no' in Sasuke's ears. No male Uchiha likes to hear the word NO.
Ah yes. Her wings.
…poke.
Sakura's grip on his 'handsome' hand loosened a bit. That was when Sasuke realized what her weakness was. He plucked her off his hand with his unoccupied one by the wings. She started squirming and soon again started with the thrashing but none of it made it to Sasuke.
Which was good for him, at least.
"So your weakness is your wings?" He smirked. Score one for Sasuke. The pink haired fairy rolled her eyes and retorted,
"Like hell I'd tell you!" She added a inner thought as her eyes turned into a glare, 'Even though it's quite OBVIOUS.'
"What would happen if I pulled a wing off?" He thought he scored. But he doesn't know he just stepped in a landmine.
Sakura's eyes grew big as she looked at Sasuke and she grew quiet. The Uchiha got uncomfortable under his unemotional stare. Her body slumped and she let herself just hang there.
"Fairy wings don't grow back if they're pulled off." Sakura just muttered back in reply.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. 'Hm. Though I STILL wonder what would happen?'
Of course, he didn't want to try. Just looking at how Sakura reacted showed something bad would happen. He released her from his grip and watched her flutter back to the remnants of the bottle.
She sighed. 'I wish this bottle went back together.'
She was a fairy with unlimited wishes for herself but limited supply of wishes for humans. And soon enough the bottle came back together with her in it. Sasuke raised his eyebrow again and thought to himself,
'Why'd she do that?'
A few minutes ago, she was trying to get out of that bottle as if her life depended on it!…Oh wait, it did…Well, she was desperately trying to get out before. So why did she willingly go back in?
Uchiha Sasuke has those moments where he's very dense.
Or maybe he was born dense.
Hm.
"Hey."
Sakura just crossed her arms and looked away. Clearly, she was angry.
But our Uchiha doesn't comprehend that.
"You know you're still not coming to school with me."
A visible vein popped onto her head while she was glaring at him. It kind of shocked him when she seethed,
"I don't care."
Of course, he didn't show it. His face was as blank as a piece of paper. It kind of saddened her that he showed no sign of caring. She sighed and turned around then sitting down. Clearly, she was ignoring him. And Uchiha Sasuke can take a girl, er FAIRY, ignoring him.
Now if only his fan girls did that…
Twinge.
He felt a twinge in his insides. He twitched at the weird feeling. 'What the hell?' Was he getting the message that he might CARE she's ignoring him? The Uchiha sighed and scratched his scalp. He glanced at the clock and calculated all the time he wasted.
It was 5:13 AM when he had woken up.
It's now 7:13 AM.
He spent half an hour taking a shower, ten minutes to get dressed, twenty minutes to eat mother's breakfast, and a whole hour arguing with Sakura.
1 whole hours he had wasted in war with Sakura. Great. And what made it worse that he was LOOSING.
He decided that he couldn't waste any time and went to the door but paused before touching the knob. The teen turned around to look at the bottle that carried the little energetic fairy. He felt a sinking feeling in his stomach when he saw her sitting in the bottle, her back still facing him.
He cursed at why anyone would want to feel guilt but could careless if someone answered that question or not.
Sasuke grabbed the bottle and threw it in his bag. He chuckled inwardly when he heard her muffled cry of, "I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH YOU, YOU JERK!"
This fairy changes her mind a lot.
The Uchiha began to realize it was a good idea to bring her to school with him as he rushed down the stairs. 'Damn, who decided to make this staircase have like 5 million stairs?' He sighed as his features relaxed. 'Well, I guess it's a good thing I brought her. Aniki or a maid could've came into my room.'
"Good morning dear-"
WHOOSH!
"…goodbye dear?"
Mikoto could've sworn she heard a girl screaming in her son's backpack as he ran out of the mansion's doors. She giggled and lightly hit herself on the forehead.
"Silly me. Sasu-chan was never interested in girls. And then again, how could he fit a girl in her backpack?" She continued to giggle as she swept the floor, ignoring her maids who were saying, "Uchiha-sama, you don't have to do that. It's our job."
Sasuke sighed in relief as he leaned on his locker.
"New record," a voice said in a lazy tone. "1 minute and 13 seconds. It obviously beats your last record of 4 minutes and 43 seconds."
Sasuke glared at the owned of the voice and shook his head. He chose to reply after he regained his breath. "Whatever, Shikamaru."
The said boy chuckled and patted Sasuke on the back. "So why were you so excited to get to school, eh?"
"I wasn't excited, smart one." He replied as placed his took out the books for the next period.
"Oh, so you were running from your fan girls?" Shikamaru's guess was not sarcastic.
"Tch. Maybe. I haven't been attacked all day." 'But then again, the day didn't even really start yet.'
Sakura raised an eyebrow as she eavesdropped on the two boys. Besides, it's not like she had anything better to do. Come on! She was in a BOTTLE! What would YOU do, huh?
"Oh hey, Sasuke, I've been meaning to ask you." Shikamaru rubbed the back of his neck. "Have you seen Naruto?"
'Who's Naruto? An animal?…' Sakura shook her head. 'Nah. By the way he's talking about him, it's probably a person.' She was weird sometimes.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He's been doing that a lot lately. "Why? He's not here yet?"
The Nara sighed and suggested a reason why his blonde friend wasn't here. "Eh. He's probably late or something." He shrugged. "Anyway, see you in class." The Uchiha nodded in reply as he watched his lazy, but smart, friend walk off while dragging his backpack on the floor.
Sasuke sighed as he quickly ran into the boys bathroom and locking himself in a stall. He opened his backpack to see Sakura with wide eyes.
"Eewww. Where are we?"
Sasuke shook the bottle to dodge her question and to shush her. Besides, he needed to explain a few things.
"Rules. You do not talk during class. Do not attract attention. Do not bother me." Short and to the point. Sakura rolled her eyes and waved a hand. "Yeah, yeah, whatever."
He got the feeling something was going to happen but nonetheless pushed the idea to the corner of his mind and just went off to class, attaching the small bottle back to the keychain.
'Well, at least I can see everything on not just books. And old lunch.' Sakura thought as she decided to make herself comfortable. She was probably going to be here for a while.
And so, that while did come. Sasuke sighed as he put his backpack on his chair and set the bottle on the side rack of his desk. Sakura grumbled and decided to send telepathic messages to her 'owner'.
'Hey, Sasuke-teme.'
The said boy twitched. 'Who the hell was that?'
'ME, YOU JERK.'
He relaxed. 'Oh. It's you.'
'Why are you saying it in that tone?'
'Forget it. Anyway, why do you want?'
'It's so BORING!'
'Not my fault.'
'Why are you just sitting here and waiting?'
'Our teacher is always late.' He retorted in his head as he took out a comic book. One hand supported his head while the other flipped through the pages.
'Awww. So it's going to be a long day?'
Sasuke snorted. He didn't need to reply to it. That snort answered her question.
'Anyway, what are you doing in my mind, pinky?'
'PINKY?'
'Eh. I decided that's what I want to call you from now on.'
So Sasuke is more talkative in his mind then in reality. Go figure.
'Yeah, whatever, Sasuke-teme.'
'Look, you. I already have one person calling me that.'
'Who?'
"OI! SASUKE-TEME!"
Sakura raised an eyebrow as she saw a blonde stumble into the classroom and rush down to sit as his desk. He was a blonde with whiskers. Hn. Whiskers. Why does this boy have…whiskers? They don't look drawn on and that's what scared Sakura the most.
What. It's not like she's ever seen a boy with whiskers before.
"Phew! I'm not late." The blonde sighed in relief as he leaned back in his chair and set his legs on his desk. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"What made you think you were late? Kakashi-sensei's always late. Tch. Naruto no baka." Sasuke shook his head.
"Yeah, well…" The said boy trailed off and grinned. He put his hands behind his head.
Sakura smiled. 'So this is one of Sasuke's friends. I think I saw him in one of those class pictures in his room.' She pondered as she crossed her arms and tilted her head.
Naruto sighed as he slammed his head on his desk. He had just finished folding his fourteenth paper airplane. To show his frustration, he began throwing them at random classmates.
Sasuke ducked so that the paper airplane flew right past him. He ignored a random person's random yell of, "OW! MY EYE!"
"Good morning, class-" Kakashi walked in, only to have a paper airplane fly into his visible eye. Sakura's curiosity brightened when she saw his mask.
'Oooh. Sasuke-kun. Why is he wearing a mask?'
'Sudden change of suffix?'
'Screw you.'
'Hn. I didn't know a fairy could have such colorful vocabulary.'
'I did NOT spout such a word! I don't remember 'screw' being part of the colorful vocabulary.'
'Whatever. I have no idea why he wear's the mask so don't bother asking.'
'But I already asked…'
Sasuke twitched in annoyance. She had a smart mouth for someone so freakin' tiny.
Kakashi took the airplane out of his eye and glared at Naruto who just laughed sheepishly. Sakura saw the silver haired man's visible eye roll.
"Anyway, good morning class." He was obviously annoyed.
You'd be annoyed, too, if you were a teacher and when you first walk into a room you're greeted with something flying into your eye.
Everyone stood up and bowed. They then quickly sat back down.
"Today, for class, we're going to…"
Sakura sighed as she watched him write some notes on the bored.
'What? You bored?'
The fairy flinched but quickly remembered it was only Sasuke. She relaxed and shook her head.
'No, it's not that. It's just…'
'?' Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
'…oh nothing! Copy your notes!'
'Yes, mother.' He retorted sarcastically as he began to right his notes.
"Hey, Sasuke-teme." Naruto whispered to him. He looked at him with the corner of his eye. "What do you want, dobe?"
"You've been making weird faces during class." Sasuke's eyes widened. He needed a quick cover up.
"What, you were staring at my face this whole entire time?" He whispered back. Naruto waved his hands and shook his head.
"N-no! Your fan girls pointed it out to me and-"
"Whatever."
'Sasuke-kun is actually very good at showing emotions.'
'Be quiet.'
'Show more emotions, though. You seem to do it quite fine when I'm around.'
'Yeah, well, whatever. Just be quiet.'
'Good comeback, Sasuke-kun.'
And so, the Sakura and Sasuke duo stayed silent in their thoughts throughout the entire class and until it was over.
Sasuke sighed and got up. "Six more periods to go." He mumbled to himself as he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked out.
"Wait for me, teme!" He was about to run after until he caught something left on his best friend's desk. "Hm? What the heck is this? A bottle?" He lifted it and stared at what was inside.
'Oh crap.' Sakura thought as she tried not to look at the blue eyes staring at her.
Authoress' Note: Whoo! Cliff hanger! Sorry, my dear fans. But I'm proud I actually made it to 8 pages! Yay! Well, anywho, here's a preview of the next chapter. Well. More like a quote.
