Chapter 1- the pink haired Cinderella
"Ibino Hageshi was found dead in his bedroom yesterday night by a gun shot through the head. Evidence had been found that he was involved in the black market with the smuggling of drugs…." A boy switched of the news and ran his fingers through the soft raven hair. His onyx eyes were full of boredom as he left his bedroom already dressed in an expensive pair of tuxedos.
His eyes narrowed in annoyance as he surveyed the crowd. It was the normal crowd, most of the male population in his age either glared at him in envy or deepest respect and even some were checking him out (gays….) all the girl population was giggling and sending flirty seductive smiles. They blushed or giggled when he glanced at them but pouted or in the brink of tears when he ignored them and look away.
He was extremely handsome for someone of his age. His spiky blue-black hair framed his handsome but emotionless face. His broad shoulders and a very well built figure attracted many ladies. He was muscular yet not as bulky as the macho men, he was just right. To add to his features, he is the son of Fugaku Uchiha, chairman of Sharingan Cops. The richest businessman in the entire world, he is also the lead singer and guitarist of the top band 'The Shinobi'. His mysterious attitude, cold yet cool and collected personality and his breath-taking smirk could easily win any girl over. His name is Sasuke Uchiha…
He was forced to attend a business party along with the rest of his family and now he is extremely bored. He scanned the crowd for a suitable candidate to dance but sadly no girl stood out. They were all wearing dresses which are to revealing in his opinion and he concludes that they were all sluts.
Pink caught his eye as his eyes stayed a few seconds longer than the other girls. Her pink hair caught his and perhaps most of the attention. A light shade of dull pink he realizes suited her no matter how weird it is. It flowed down her back and it looked so soft that sasuke has to resist the urge to run his fingers through it just to satisfy his curiosity about its softness. Her hair framed her face expertly showing the beautiful emerald eyes underneath her long eyelashes. Her pink lip was applied with a very light shade of lip gloss and it looked so appetizing. Her skin was pale yet that only helped to bring out her eyes more.
She wore a strapless green dress which matched her emerald eyes and revealed her slender neck and small shoulders. The dress hugged her curves perfectly revealing a petite yet attractive figure. The dress flowed freely once it reached her waist and stopped just at her ankle showing a pair of legs with a pair of short high-heels.
The said girl wasn't staring or drooling at him like the rest, she was staring into space with a glass of untouched wine in her hand.
Sasuke walked towards her casually. The girls he passed gave him a happy smile thinking that he was heading for them but were in the brink of tears or in tears when he passed them like they weren't even there.
He stopped in front of the girl who turned her head to meet his gaze. Her emerald eyes were full of confusion as she saw girls glaring at her murderously.
"May I have this dance?" he asked politely giving her a smirk which all the girls will die for. However, she seemed unaffected for not even a tinge of pink was evident in her cheeks.
"Sure." She said. Her voice was soft and kind which was music in sasuke's ears.
Sasuke held out his hand and she took it. Her hand was small compared to his and he led her to the dancing floor. She placed her hands on his broad shoulders while his arm snaked around her petite waste.
They danced in silence; their bodies gracefully flowed with the music. Though it was their first meeting they enjoyed each others company. They both felt oddly calm and in peace of mind and though no words were shared between them, they were content at just dancing.
They stopped dancing after a while and decided to head out to the garden to feel the cold fresh air.
"You're a really good dancer Sasuke-san." She complimented quietly.
"Ah." He replied a one word answer but curiosity got the better of him. "Are you Japanese?" he asked as he realizes she added a Japanese suffix.
"Yes, I just moved here recently." She explained and they were quiet again. "Why did you ask me for a dance?" she asked awkwardly,
"I mean, you are Sasuke Uchiha. You could have danced with more beautiful girls than me." She explained and sasuke kept his gaze in the night sky.
"You're different." He finally said and she chuckled, "I guess it's the pink hair." She said twirling them in her fingers.
"Did you dye them?"
She gave a hearty laughter which made sasuke's insides flutter, "No, they're natural see." She said showing the roots of her hair which are indeed pink.
A loud ring was heard as the hands of the clock were overlapping each other pointing at the number 12 indicating that it was midnight.
"I should go back… It's nice talking to you sasuke-san, sayonara." She said leaving sasuke alone to clear his head.
"Wait-"but she was already gone. He sighs and closed his eyes leaning against the wall. "I didn't even know her name." he mumbled before heading back to the bustling and gossiping party.
