Woah, fast update. Don't expect much of those xD I was bored. Yeah. Well, enjoy the chapter.
I found myself in a spare room in Sasuke's house, trying on the clothes he had given me while my dress was drying. He had given me a large baggy shirt and shorts. They were ... different compared to what I was used to. I walked over to the window, looking outside. The rain was pouring harder than it had been earlier. It made me somewhat grateful that Sasuke had found me out in the rain. Well, maybe I could actually have a nice life down here until I could prove myself again. I wasn't sure exactly how I would do that, but I had plenty of time.
A knock on the door caused me to jump, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Can I come in?" I heard Sasuke's voice from the other side of the door.
"Um .. yeah." I mumbled, moving a strand of hair out of my face and turning around just as the door opened and Sasuke walked in. He was already in dry clothes, having also gotten wet from being outside. He actually had brought an umbrella, but he had ended up getting wet also due to the fact that it hadn't been large enough for the both of us. I had tried to make him use it for himself since I was already wet, but he wouldn't listen. He was quite stubborn.
"Do they fit alright?" Sasuke asked, looking me up and down.
"Yeah, they're fine." I said as I shifted a bit where I was standing under his dark gaze, "You really don't have to do this."
"It's fine." Sasuke shrugged as he leaned against the wall. I found him staring at me like he had done earlier. Unfortunately, I was trapped this time. I couldn't really go anywhere. I didn't really want to run out into the cold rain anyway, so I'd just have to get used to the staring.
"... You do seem really familiar though.." Sasuke mumbled.
I turned my head to look at him. He was looking at the floor in concentration, as if trying to remember something that happened a long time ago.
"You must have me mistaken for someone else." I insisted after a minute, waving my hand a bit. "This is the first time we've met."
"Yeah, I guess so." Sasuke mumbled as he let out a sigh before speaking in a softer tone, "It's not possible anyway."
"What?" I asked, not being able to hear what he had said.
"Nothing. Just get some sleep." Sasuke said, walking out of the room and closing the door behind him.
I frowned as I stared at the door. After a moment I walked over to the light switch, flipping it off before heading over to the bed in the corner. I crawled under the covers and closed my eyes, listening to Sasuke's soft footsteps as he made his way around the house. After a few minutes I finally allowed myself to drift to sleep.
-
When the morning came, I woke up to the sun blinding me. I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up, letting out a yawn while stretching. I then slipped off of the bed, taking my time as I made my way over to the window to close the curtains, not wanting it to be so be so bright in the room this early.
"Hey, I'm going to school now. I'll see you--" Sasuke stopped as he entered my room, staring at me.
I frowned, still not used to his constant stares. Did he forget that I was here or something? Or did he just like staring at me?
"Would you stop staring at me like that? It makes me uncomfortable. It's not like you haven't seen me at all." I grumbled as I crossed my arms, glancing over at the mirror before I saw what had caught his attention. I'm guessing that in my sleep, my wings had come back out without my knowing it. "Oops..."
"What are those?" Sasuke asked, pointing at the wings on my back.
"These? Well these my friend, are called wings. They're on a lot of mammals like birds and bats and other creatures."
"They're not supposed to be on humans though.." Sasuke responded, a vacant look on his face. I could tell I wasn't going to be able to get myself out of this. Damn, he always got me easily, didn't he?
"Oh well that's because I'm an experiment. You see, I broke out just yesterday. Hence why I have no home." I lied, a wide grin on my face. Sasuke only gave me another blank stare, not believing me. I sighed and shook my head, "You wouldn't believe the truth.."
"Try me."
"I'm an angel?" I said, forcing a smile.
"... The experiment one was more believable."
"But I'm telling the truth." I whined, wanting to stomp my foot like a child would. I had noticed that ever since I came here, I was acting less and less like an angel should. I usually would act calm in this situation and explain to him why I had wings in the most believable way. I couldn't see myself doing that now.
"... We'll talk when I get home. I left some money on the table for you to go shopping for new clothes." Sasuke said before he exited my room. I listened as his footsteps faded down the hallway before the sound of the front door shutting was heard.
-
I walked through the streets of the small city, which wasn't as crowded now that most people were either at work or at school. I stopped when I found a clothing store and made my way inside. I looked around at the clothes in the women's section, not seeing anything of interest. In truth, I didn't like tight clothes or dresses. I liked clothes that were easy to move in, unlike most of the girls I saw walking around. How did they even move in their clothes?
After a few minutes of looking, I just decided on a few plain shirts and pants, plus a pair of shoes. The clothes were baggy, but not too large on me. Just what I liked.
Now I wouldn't have to worry about getting stared at while walking through the streets, finally.
-
Once I made it back to Sasuke's house, I just into my new clothes and folded Sasuke's clothes, placing them on the bed so he could do whatever with them when he returned. I then made my way into the living room, spotting a tv and DVDs. I automatically walked over to the DVDs, looking through them all. After a few minutes, I just decided on "The Ring" and put the DVD in the DVD player.
I settled myself down on the couch, staring intently at the tv once I turned it on.
-
"I'm home.." Sasuke said, walking into the silent house. He blinked, noticing that it shouldn't have been this silent, "Sakura?"
"Die Samara!" I shouted, jumping up from behind the couch.
Sasuke only blinked, staring at me. It took him a few minutes before he finally spoke, "What the fuck?"
"Oh ... it's only you.." I mumbled, feeling a bit embarrassed as I sat down a coat hanger that I had been holding. Yes, I was indeed going to use a coat hanger in the name of self defence.
Sasuke made his way over to the tv, seeing that the "The Ring" case was on top of it. He opened it, noticing that the DVD was not inside it, "Don't tell me you watched this.."
"... I was bored." I said sheepishly as I rubbed the back of my head.
Sasuke only sighed and shook his head, making his way into the kitchen. "About this morning..."
I followed him into the kitchen, standing by the counter before deciding on leaning on it, "Yes?"
"Were you serious?"
It took me a minute before I realized what he meant and nodded, "Yes."
"Oh.." Sasuke mumbled as he looked through the refridgerator. He looked deep in thought and after a minute, I decided to bring him out of his thoughts.
"Um, Sasuke?"
"Huh?"
"You're letting all of the cold air out." I pointed out, deciding that was the best way to do so.
He blinked before realizing what I meant and closed the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked, frowning as I watched him walk out of the kitchen.
"Nothing. I'm going to go do my homework. Don't bother me."
"Um ... okay.." I mumbled, watching as he went down the hall. It sort of worried me that he was suddenly isolating himself. I idly wondered if he did that often.
He probably did.
I saw down on the couch and turned on the TV once more. I quickly made sure the DVD player was off before looking at the screen. My gaze flickered back to the screen as I clicked random buttons on the remote, searching through the channels. I was still a little jumpy from watching The Ring so when the phone rang, I jumped.
I glanced down the hall, half expecting Sasuke to come down to get the phone. After a few seconds, I knew he wasn't coming. I hesitantly reached over to the table, grabbing a hold of the phone and pressed the 'talk' button. "... Hello?"
"Hey! Um ... wait, who is this?"
"Sakura.." I drawled, looking back at the stairs, wanting Sasuke to save me already from the phone, "... Who is this?"
"Naruto" He also drawled.
It became awkwardly silent soon after that. I could hear noises coming from the other end of the phone. From the sounds that he was making, I figured he was doing homework or something.
....
"Is Sasuke there?"
"Yeah, but I don't think he's in a good mood."
"Oh?" Naruto said in a tone that told me that he wasn't surprised, "What makes you say that?"
"He told me not to bother him." I stated, still feeling a bit uncomfortable talking to someone I didn't know. If I remembered correctly, he was the one that was with Sasuke yesterday, but I didn't really count that as knowing.
"Give him the phone."
"But--"
"Just do it."
I nodded, despite the fact he couldn't see it. I stood up and made my way down the hall heading towards Sasuke's room. I hesitantly raised my hand, taking a deep breath. What the heck? I shouldn't be afraid of Sasuke. I may have no longer been an angel, but I still had more authority than he did. I then decided not to knock and merely opened the door, walking inside.
"I thought I told you--"
I didn't let him finish as I made my way over to his desk, shoving the phone into his hands. "Naruto wants to talk to you."
Sasuke let out a short sigh before raising the phone to his ear, "What?"
I watched as Sasuke talked to Naruto in short responses, sometimes rolling his eyes.
"Do I- but-- Naruto you can't expect-- fine."
I watched Sasuke in confusion, wondering what he could have been talking about. He soon hung up the phone, placing it on the desk. "Get dressed, we're going somewhere with Naruto and his girlfriend."
"We?" I asked, pointing to myself.
Sasuke nodded. "He wants you to come so he can get to know you.."
"Okay..." I mumbled, not really sure.
"So get dressed up ... get rid of the wings or something."
I glanced at my wings before making them slowly fade away like they had never been there. "Um ... I already am dress."
Sasuke looked me up and down before sighing, "You have got to me kidding. Surely you got something more ... more girlish than that."
"Nope." I stated, hands on my hips.
"I guess that'll have to do...."
Yeah this chapter was pretty boring. Oh well.
Leave reviews and stuff. That's what gets me motivated :)
