(A/N): Let me clear this out. Currently, Sasuke does not know anybody from Team 7, Konoha 9 (or 12). But the Uchiha massacre has taken place and Sasuke is in still in his dark ocean of hatred and revenge as Sakura and Naruto were not there to melt up his heart. There is a reason for that, though.

The road to Cotton Candy Land was a difficult one. It required actual stealth, strength and talent to be able to survive the obstacles. The couple had to pass through the dense wilderness in order to reach there. The duo walked by the exit gates of the kingdom. A backpack hung carelessly around Sasuke's shoulder which contained their supplies.

Soon, they were out of the Pink Realm, travelling westwards to the dense forest. Neither of them had said a word to each other. By the evening, they had hardly reached the edge of the forest. It was still a long way to go.

"Let's stop. We should set a camp before it gets dark." Sakura spoke for the first time.

"Hn" he grunted back.

What is wrong with you? Go, talk to her, you fool! We won't get the girl because of you!

Why the hell do you keep on appearing again and again?

To make sure you don't die a virgin.

It won't happen. I'm an Uchiha, for god's sak-

Oh damn! Look at that ass!

Sakura had bent down, digging into the backpack. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Sasuke had a perfect view of her ass. He blushed and looked away. Not-so-innocent thoughts started forming in his head. His blush increased tenfold. Let's say, he was happy for wearing baggy pants that day.

Soon, the tent was set up by the couple. Sasuke had wandered off to fetch firewood while Sakura took the responsibility of getting food for them. Sasuke returned with firewood and put it in front of the tent and looked for Sakura. What he saw surprised him the most. There was a large dining table set up in the middle of the forest holding a variety of food items. Cake, steak, pizza, vegetables, hot dogs, juice, sushi, salad, rum-you name it and it was there.

Sasuke stood there wide-eyed.

"How did you-" he shut up as he saw Sakura grin and move her fingers. Glitter fell from her fingertips.

Sasuke smirked at her and sat down on the chair.

"Why didn't you set the tent by yourself?" he asked out of curiosity.

"I didn't know the spell for that" she admitted. He smiled.

She's cute.

And hot! A sex-bomb, baby! Wooot!

Sasuke ignored his inner and started eating the food. Dinner went on in silence. As the night approached, the temperature dropped down. They set up the campfire to keep themselves warm. Both of them were sitting near the fire, opposite to each other.

"So Sasuke, you're a ninja, huh? What is it like to be a ninja?" Sakura broke the silence.

Sasuke stared at her before answering. He thought for a while, but finally replied "Being ninja was everything in our village. Everybody tried their best to pass the academy. Being a ninja was a prestige in itself. Ninjas are supposed to be humble and just in every job they do. From simple missions to assassinations, we are supposed to perform every mission flawlessly." Sasuke sighed, and continued.

"Ninjas are supposed to be loyal and serve their country.

I abandoned mine.

Ninjas, through their act, are supposed to make their family and country proud.

I have nobody left to be called as 'mine'.

.

My father wanted me to be an elite ninja.

He always compared me with Itachi.

He wanted me to be the greatest ninja.

But he would always favor Itachi.

I did everything, but I could never surpass my brother, Itachi.

Itachi, my brother; the one who wiped out my entire clan.

Even today, I seek power to defeat my brother.

To get revenge for what he did. To me, to our clan."

Sasuke frowned while thinking. Sakura noticed that. She had heard earlier that he needed the Enchanted Dust to help his brother. 'He definitely has some secrets from his past. Especially between him and his brother' she concluded.

"You are a fairy, right? Tell me about yourself." Sasuke said, changing the topic. Sakura understood that.

"Oh, me? I am Sakura Haruno, princess of the Pink Realm. I am not your average princess. I have been trained for fighting along with my regular princess duties. I can handle weapons, combat on the battlefield and kill too, if I need to. I am training to be a true fairy. I am still learning magic spells. My hair color is natural. Since centuries, pink-haired women are born in the royal family. Our great ancestor saved the kingdom and saved the magic. Since then, every person of the royal family has magic powers. Every fairy has to earn her wings. But the knowledge has been lost since a few generations ago. Due to it, we are unable to get our wings. The magic has been fading ever since. I have to find a way to get the knowledge back."

Sakura looked at Sasuke to see his eyes closed, probably fast asleep. She scowled, muttering curses and lines along 'inconsiderate asshole' and 'mannerless freak' while lying back and zipping her sleeping bag.

Sasuke opened one eye to look at the princess. Pissing her off was sure fun. He smiled and went back to sleep.

As the sun rose, the team had already set off for their journey. They walked for hours. It was a long road.

"Is this the same forest where Prince Ryan met his girl?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura's eyes widened. "How do you know about it?" she asked.

"Hinata told us. Is it a true story or just a myth?" he asked.

"It is indeed true story. Our hair color and magic is the proof for it."

"But the killer of the Prince is still not found." Sasuke pointed out.

"I know. It is still a mystery. And after failing for many years, the council dropped the matter altogether. Nobody could find the real killer" she explained.

"Let us find out about this matter in the Cotton Candy Land. I am sure we will find some useful information there." he suggested.

"I hope you are right."

Soon, they reached the densest part of the forest. Hardly any sun rays would reach the ground. Day felt like night. It was dark... Frightening dark.

"Sasuke, a-are you afraid of the d-dark? Sakura asked him.

"No."

I am used to the darkness.

Sasuke looked at the girl and felt her restlessness. "Are you?" he asked, concerned.

"I'm not s-sure..."

"Sakura" he said as he took her hand in his. His body acted upon its own as their fingers entwined. Sakura tensed up first but then relaxed under his touch. A sense of security washed over her as she held his hand even more firmly. Blush crept up their faces as they walked hand in hand through the forest.

The couple walked until the sunset. It didn't matter as the light intensity hardly changed, but they had to stop due to the nocturnal creatures. They set up the tent and the campfire. Sasuke lay beside Sakura to make her feel safe. That night, they talked about their families and their dreams. They had become good friends.

Days passed by. They had covered half their distance. Half the distance of their journey to Cotton Candy Land and half the distance of the way to each other's hearts. But, they were both oblivious to their feeling.

One night, both of them lay besides each other, watching the starlit sky. Sasuke told Sakura about his past. He told her about the Uchiha massacre, his brother Itachi and his desire to seek revenge. He told her about the aliens and the real reason he needed the Enchanted Fairy Dust. Sakura listened to him and supported him. She understood him. Sasuke was happy to know that. His heart felt light. He was grateful to her for understanding him and for her emotional support. He did not show it but he was content. He was happy to know that somebody cared for him; understood him.

She is so nice. I think I like her.

He thought as he drifted into a deep slumber.

Sakura slowly opened her eyes, adjusting her eyes to the morning light. She felt a weight on her waist and turned around to come face to face with the Uchiha prince. His arm had encircled around her waist protectively, pulling her close to him. Their legs were entangled while their faces were merely inches apart from each other. Sakura stared at the man in front of her. He looked so peaceful when asleep. He was the most handsome guy she had ever seen. His faced looked so kissable right now. Without her notice, her face moved closer to his. Their faces were only centimeters apart when Sasuke opened his eyes.

Sakura froze.

Sasuke just smirked at her and said "I didn't know you like to molest people in their sleep."

Sakura opened her mouth to protest but was cut off by his mouth on hers. Her eyes widened but soon she joined him. The couple shared their first kiss in the forest. The same forest where Ryan found his true love.

Sasuke confessed his feelings to Sakura and she did the same. The newly formed couple was happy in the company of each other. That evening, they halted near a river. They set up their tent and headed straight to the river to clean themselves.

Upon reaching the river, Sakura did her magic and their clothes changed. Sasuke wore only a Bermuda and was shirtless, showing his well-sculpted body. Sakura was no less, either. She wore a navy blue bikini showing off her beautiful body. Both of them looked at each other and blushed. Sakura, then took Sasuke's hand and pulled him in the water.

The couple played in the water for a long time. Sakura sneaked up behind Sasuke and pulled him under the water. Sasuke quickly turned around and trapped her petite form with his arms. Sakura squirmed within his hold but couldn't escape his tight embrace. Suddenly, Sasuke started tickling her. Sakura squirmed and laughed until she could breathe no more. Laughing underwater; she couldn't breathe any air. Just then, Sasuke kissed her and provided her the needful supply of air. Never had she thought she would crave for a kiss with such desperation. Soon, Sasuke brought them on the surface but continued to kiss her. They broke up for air and Sakura rested her head on his chest. Sasuke encircled his arms around his lover and embraced her. They stayed together in that position for some time.

After their bath, they returned to the tent and set up the fire. They ate their dinner and went to sleep quickly. But this time, Sasuke and Sakura slept in the same sleeping bag, in each other's embrace. They enjoyed each other's company. They loved each other. They were so happy.

(A/N): My exams are still going on and I have to load my brains with 1000 pages of study-load for each SUBJECT. Sometimes, being a Doctor sucks, too! Wish me luck, guys! :D
