Under His Spell
Chapter Two: A Secret Only Sasuke Knows
Zelda and Sakura rushed in through the classroom door, panting hard.
"(pant… pant…) What's up with that?" Zelda shouted at Sakura.
"(pant… pant…) Sorry… (pant…)Zelda…" Sakura said, breathlessly. "But… that dude back there… (pant… pant…) is nuts…!"
The class bell rang.
Everyone quickly get into their seats. Sakura sat down next to Sasuke, and beckoned Zelda to sit next to her, just before the door opened.
"Well!" Iruka said, smiling at his class. "Everybody's here! What joy!"
"IRUKA SENSEI!!!!!"
"Wha??? ACK!!!"
BAM! The door flew wide open and, panting like a tired dog, Naruto appeared.
"Sorry I'm late, Iruka Sensei! But my… uh… dog… ate my… uh… homework... so I had to fry it… and… uh… Iruka Sensei?"
Naruto vigorously looked from side to side.
"Hey! Where's Iruka Sensei?" he cried out.
"Maybe your dog ate him, Naruto!" Kiba shouted out, and everyone started laughing their butts off.
"Hey! Be quiet!" someone shouted.
Everyone grew silent.
Who said that? Sakura wondered. Is it… a ghost?
The door slowly creaked itself closed and there, squished, head first, against the wall, was Iruka Sensei.
"Naruto…" he said, grumpily. "Get… me… OUT!!!"
"Yes, Sensei!" Naruto replied quickly.
Obediently, yet in a stupid manner, Naruto helped got Iruka out of the wall. By creating a small earthquake by punching the door.
Iruka fell flat on the hard cement floor, and cried out in pain.
"ARRRRRGH!!! NARUTO!!!"
"Oh! Sorry again, Iruka…"
"No! Don't say a single word! Now go to your seat!"
And, he did, and muttered, "Oh, geez… He told me to get him out…"
"Okay, class!" Iruka began. "Today, we are going outside to train for your upcoming test next tomorrow."
Most of the class groaned.
"And then, those who aced the test will be given a party afterwards." Iruka finished.
Then they cheered.
"Okay! Then let's go!"
Iruka went over to the door and turned the knob. But the door didn't open. He tried again, and still the door didn't budge.
"Mm… What's wrong, Iruka Sensei?" Hinata asked.
"The damn… door… won't open!" Iruka shouted, trying, with all efforts, to shove the door open.
"Oh, that's great!" Kiba exclaimed sarcastically. "Look what you've done, Naruto!"
"Me? What??? I didn't do anything!"
"Well, if you haven't punched the damn door, we would have been able go outside and train for out test tomorrow!"
"And now… We're all gonna fail! And we all won't be having a party!" Chouji cried out. "And that means… no food!"
"Well, I know that I'm not gonna fail!" Ino exclaimed, standing up. "And neither is Sasuke, either! Right, Sasuke?"
Sasuke grunted, and turned his gaze outside through the window.
"You???" Sakura stood up, too. "You, Ino, are gonna F-A-I-L! Fail! And me and Sasuke will the only ones having a party!"
"What??? No way!!!"
Here they go again…
"Me and Sasuke are the best ninjas in this academy!" Ino exclaimed.
"Well, with you, Sasuke will surely puke!" Sakura cried.
"Hmph! Forehead!"
"Ugly!"
"Forehead!"
"Ugly!"
And that kept going on… and on… and on… and on…
Meanwhile, Zelda was gazing at Sasuke with dreamy blue eyes.
He is sooo cute! She thought. So… this must be the great Uchiha everyone's been talking about. Or should I say most of the girls…
Zelda looked around the room. Everyone was in chaos! Iruka Sensei beating up the door, with Hinata trying to make suggestions to him, Shikomaru, Chouji, Naruto, and Kiba were fighting about the test and the party, and all the rest of the girls were crowded together arguing about who should get Sasuke. Only she and Sasuke were sitting quietly, observing the chaotic room.
This is my chance… She thought. I can steal Sasuke from those idiotic girls and they'll be so sorry…
So, Zelda scooted over a seat and sat next to Sasuke.
"So…" she started. "You're Sasuke Uchiha, aren't you?"
Sasuke turned to her.
"Yes. I am," He answered. "Who are you? And what are you doing here at the Ninja Academy?"
His questions are so direct, Zelda thought. How should I answer them?
"I am Zelda Hyrule," she answered calmly, trying hard not to act like the other girls who were falling over Sasuke. "I'm here to improve my skills as a warrior. So that I would be stronger to rule my kingdom."
"So, you're a runaway princess from the kingdom of Hyrule?"
"Yes. But I haven't run away. For both my mother and father are dead. My father is a ghost. My mother dwells in a far off kingdom deep under the sea. I now rule my kingdom. I can do as I please."
"Who's going to watch your kingdom now?" Sasuke was now interested in her story.
"My friend, Link. He'll watch over my kingdom until I get back."
"Does anyone know you're here from your kingdom?"
"No. Not a single soul, but Link. He's the only one I could trust."
"Oh, really?"
Ha! I got him! Link… the only one I could trust, she thought. I just have to mess with Sasuke's mind a bit, and soon he'll be crawling all over me!
"Yes. He has saved my life and my kingdom once," Zelda said, enjoying her game of "hard to get." "I doubt that I'll be able to meet another guy like him."
"Got it!" Iruka exclaimed, as he finally got the door to open.
Everybody cheered.
"Okay, come on! It's time to train!"
And everyone rushed out the door.
Zelda looked at Sasuke once more and said, "It was nice talking to you, Sasuke. And please don't tell anyone about what I've just told you. They're not supposed to know."
And then she left with Sakura to the training grounds, leaving Sasuke behind.
My true love… she thought to herself. Has finally come…
Hey, guys! Sorry that this chapter is kind of lengthy. But I hoped you enjoyed it.
