CH3: Growing, Love, and Secrets

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sasuke awoke the next morning only to find that Dawn was not there. His heart started to

pound and he quickly got up and started looking for her. When he found her she was in

the living room but his jaw dropped to the floor when he saw her. Dawn had apparently

grown almost a foot tall and her hair turned darker while her skin turned lighter. Her

wings were almost twice her size but her dress had been replaced with a small towel.

"What happened to you?"

"Uh, I grew?"

"I can see that. Wait, why are you in a towel?"

"I can't fit into my dress."

Sasuke twitched

"Does that mean I have to go out and get you something?"

"Unless you can make clothes, yes."

Sasuke twitched again

"Stay here while I try to find something for you to wear."

Dawn nodded as Sasuke took his bag and left for the stores. Sasuke sighed yet he smiled

cause now to him, she looked even more beautiful than she did before. As he was

walking down the paths of Konoha, Sasuke saw Naruto talking to Shikamaru. He decided

to walk past them but Naruto turned around and stopped him.

"Hey Sasuke!"

"What dobe?"

"Where's your bird?"

Sasuke stood there for a moment before realizing Naruto was talking about Dawn.

"At home…" he said bluntly.

"Oh, ok."

"Is that all dobe?"

"Quit calling me that!"

Shikamaru decided to step into the conversation.

"Ok, hearing you yell is giving me a headache so will you knock it off?"

Naruto turns back to Shikamaru then turns back to Sasuke.

"You're both troublesome, oh look its Choji, see you guys later."

"Yeah, I have to go meet Iruka-sensei somewhere."

They both left and Sasuke was standing there alone, so he kept walking. Unfortunately he

ran into a group of fangirls so he wound up running for his life around Konoha. Sasuke

finally came across a store, the sign had read Halo's Dolls, Sasuke went inside only to

find no one there but the storekeeper. The lady behind the counter just looked at him

before going back to her work. He looked at all of the small figures and saw one that looked just as big as Dawn, so he got it and took it to the cashier.

"Well, well, who is this for?" asked the Lady.

"It's a gift for a friend of mine."

"Oh, how lovely! Im sure she would love this."

Sasuke nodded in agreement and purchased the doll. He then put it in his bag and went back home and showed Dawn. She was enthusiastic, when Sasuke now saw her in her new clothes he blushed cause she looked pretty cute in them. Now she had the Victorian gothic look with ribbons and lace. She looked just like the doll except she wasn't made out of cloth or glass. Her wing fluttered as she flew around his head and sat on his shoulder.

"So Sasuke, what do you want to do today?"

"Maybe we can go to the woods, I know a perfect place to play."

"Ok, but this time I want a ride in the bag."

Sasuke shrugged and opened his bag so Dawn could get in. She didn't have trouble getting in and started giggling when she found out she could look through the top. They both went off and found their destination but Hinata was there looking at the flowers. Sasuke went up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Hinata turned around startled and her face turned red. Sasuke smiled and waved at her and she smiled back, then she gave him the flower she was holding. She was about to walk away before Sasuke stopped her.

"Hey, do you want to see something really pretty?" he asked her.

Hinata nodded her head to tell him yes. As soon as she did that Sasuke opened his bag and out came a fluttering Dawn, she spun in circles and her wings dropped glitter wherever she went. It made her look like a purple comet, and all Hinata could do was stare in awe. Dawn rested on Sasuke's shoulder and then looked at Hinata.

"Wh-What is it?" Hinata asked

"A fairy, isn't she pretty?"

"Yes, but I thought fairies didn't exist."

Dawn piped in, "Well, they do now."

All three of them spent the day together and when it was time for Hinata to go back home Sasuke whispered something in her ear.

"You can't tell anyone else about Dawn ok?"

Hinata agreed not to tell anyone and ran back home.

Sasuke and Dawn returned to their home as well.

Dawn flew about here and there while Sasuke collapsed on the couch, the next thing he new he felt a splash of cold-water fall on his head. Sasuke yelped and fell on the floor wiping his face off like a cat. Dawn giggled and tugged at Sasuke's hand.

"Come on! You can't go to sleep now Sasuke-kun!"

"But im tired."

"Nonsense! Now come on at least talk to me a little while."

"What is there to talk about?"

"Uh, I don't know."

"Wow Sasuke, you must be really tired."

Sasuke nodded in agreement and his eyes gave way. He collapsed once more but this time on the sofa. Dawn didn't feel like being alone so she wiggled under his arm and fell asleep with him.
