It has been almost a year! Well, I am here now to update. I may not be as enthusiastic about this story like before since I am now neutral to the Sasusaku pairing, but I still love this story's plot. I would really like to rewrite all of it but too lazy to do it = - =(Though I am still not revealing a lot) So anyway, I hope this chapter is enjoyable!
Disclaimer: I know I always forget the disclaimer part but anyway! I do not own NARUTO! So, there. Now, may we begin with the story?
I am Haruno Sakura, a 216 year old female, and awhile ago, my Mistress, also known as Hyuuga Hinata, suggested that I should leave her and have another life.
And I can tell that you don't find anything wrong with that suggestion, but with our situation, something is DEFINITELY wrong with that suggestion!
Seriously, how can she even think of that? It's suicide! Well, I know we're technically dead and all, but she would be stuck in that mansion forever!
I know you are getting confused with all my rambling and complaining about my Mistress' ridiculous suggestion to live again, so let me briefly explain everything.
Okay, so you already know the part wherein we died but will again live if my Mistress sees Kiba-san again, face-to-face.
The bad thing about it is that my Mistress can't go outside the mansion, it's like she's stuck inside a crystal ball, but the difference is, she's in a mansion. With her being trapped inside, It's impossible for her to meet Kiba-san especially if the said guy doesn't even remember her. So who will lead Kiba-san to the mansion? Well, that's when I come in to the picture.
I've been helping my Mistress find Kiba-san for 200 years. Unlike her, I can go outside the mansion and wander around like a typical ghost, but of course, I don't do it just for the heck of it, I do it for my Mistress. You may ask why I can go outside the mansion, the answer is simple; I am not mainly involved in that spell, I just tagged along.
Not being trapped in the mansion is not my sole benefit, I can also go back to my body whenever I like, but I care too much about my mistress to even think about going back to my body and live again, nobody can help her if I go back.
I can still help her, but I will have limited time if I do that, Humans don't live forever, I might die without finding Kiba-san, and that would definitely leave Hinata-chan helpless if I die.
I sigh in frustration as I think about our conversation awhile ago.
"I'm okay Sakura-chan, I'm sure every—"
"No. I will definitely not leave you alone!"
Why must she be so selfless and persistent? She has been suggesting the same thing over and over again for the past 200 years. Wasn't I willing when I told her that I'd stay with her?
I leaned closer to the misty window of the raven-haired guy's car who was in the front seat along with the blonde who calls himself Naruto, who was sitting on the passenger seat.
Seriously now, when are they going to notice me? I've been making my presence really obvious but they just won't acknowledge me! Why can't they notice me? I really made myself apparent and visible, like I'm almost human but they still won't notice me!
I think this is now the time to talk.
"Naruto-san..." I said, and just like I thought, FINALLY, they noticed me!
"S-S-Sakura-chan..." I noticed how he stuttered in fear, but I answered him, as if I am oblivious to his reaction.
"Mou... What's the matter? Why are you so pale! Is something the matter?"
To tell you the truth, I'm really thrilled with their new reactions. With that, a grin managed to appear on my face, this situation is just really amusing!
But with their reactions, I don't think their ready for me. Maybe I'll just come back for them later or tomorrow.
So now,
My next destination: go home and rest (Not that I need any) then come back for them.
"Uhmm... I'll just come back another time" I said with a small smile gracing my lips. I waved goodbye at the two pale boys as I slowly disappear in front of them.
Don't get me wrong, the slow disappearing thing was intentional, I wanted to create some effect to make myself spookier... or something that ghost should look like.
=So, Are you ready?=
Everything seemed frozen when the pink haired ghost appeared, but luckily, she disappeared. It took a few minutes before Naruto could talk again and Sasuke could start blinking again. Sasuke drove off as if nothing happened while the blonde tries to blabber about random topics to forget about the appearance of the 200 year old female, which worked out perfectly.
"Ano, Sasuke, are we still going back to the party?" Naruto asked but his friend, who is looking like he is pondering about something, ignored his question and continued driving.
"Oi! Teme!" He tried to wave his hand in front of Sasuke's face but was immediately swatted away
"Shut up, I'm trying to think" Sasuke held a serious look on his face because of suddenly recalling something, something involving Kiba and the girl.
"Oi—"
"Don't you think Kiba has the same name?"
"Huh?"
"The person mentioned in the book you showed me about the mansion"
"I don't really remember the contents of the book" Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blond; It wasn't a surprise if the only thing he remembered about the book was the dead heiress that was probably haunting the deserted mansion.
But enough of Naruto's forgetfulness and poor memory, "Inuzuka Kiba, if I'm not mistaken, he and the Kiba we know have the same name and surname"
Could it be?
"Let's just forget about everything that happened and go back to the party!" Naruto beamed excitedly as he begun to think about the food he'll once again munch on while drooling at the same time.
"We're going home" the blonde whined at his friend's decision "Come on, don't be such a party pooper!"
"I don't care" Naruto just crossed his arms and pouted like a child; completely forgetting the incident that just happened, but on the other hand, Sasuke was still busy thinking about the unanswered questions that formed in his head after their encounter with the pink haired ghost that seemed to creep him out in several aspects, which he definitely denies and will never admit.
They got home with Sasuke dropping Naruto off, and he, went home as well with the maids falling in two lines; greeted him on his arrival.
"Good evening Young Master..." the maids greeted in unison as they bowed at their Master, who just shrugged them off with his usual "Hn"
Many would say he's lucky since it was damn obvious that he was dreadfully wealthy, but in his case, not really.
=Here we go=
3:46 am
I can hear screaming.
And it was damn painful to hear.
"What the heck is that noise?" I snapped as I shot up from my bed and inspected my room to find the culprit, but unfortunately I found myself staring at the same pink haired girl who appeared to me and Naruto several hours ago.
I can feel my blood being drained, and I know my face now looks paler than ever.
But who can blame me? I'm not used to supernatural things, I never imagined myself encountering such things.
I stayed quiet as I stared intently at the girl who was once screaming was now smiling.
"Good, unlike your friend, Naruto, you handled the situation better than him" She said as she remembered the blond fainting after seeing her and muttering evil ghosts and stuff. "I'm sorry for screaming, I just thought it would be easier to wake you up with screaming, you do know that I can't shake you awake don't you?" I remained motionless as I looked at the girl who was sitting on my sofa which was just five meters away.
"Oh come on, I can't be the only one doing the talking!" The girl complained. She stood up from her seat and walked towards me; but I remained frozen.
"Don't be so stiff!" She moved closer; finally reaching my bed. She reached out her hand to touch me but I didn't make a move to stop her or move away. And then, she did the unexpected. She laughed.
Which surprisingly sounded normal and not frightening like it should be; she sounded... human.
"You should've seen your face! You looked so funny being scared and submissive!"And that snapped me out of my frozen state, seriously, me? Submissive and scared? That's a laugh.
"Shut up" Ghost or not, I am and will always be the one in control of the situation.
Sakura stopped laughing "Finally" She smirked
"Now let's get down to business..."
= Pause. Delete. No. Never! =
"Please!" I cried out to him but it came out as a squeak. Who knew this guy could be so... scary? "No. Go away" He pulled the covers over his head and turned away from me.
Well, what happened was, I requested his help and explained my situation but he just shrugged me off.
So for our status upate: HE IS NOW IGNORING ME
I fought the urge to shake him to make him look at me since we all know it's going to be useless; my hand will just pass through and all he'll feel is just a gust of wind
"Gust of wind..." That's an idea!
I tried to shake him, but just as I thought, my hand just passed through; leaving him shuddering for a bit. With that, his head shot out from the covers and glared at me intensely
"You..." If looks could kill a ghost, I'd be double dead right now "Didn't I tell you to leave?"
"Well, I..." I felt nervous, really really nervous especially under his ice cold glare. The said guy sighed and started to speak "Look, I can't help you, I don't even know a guy named Inuzuka Kiba"
But why should I be nervous? I'm the ghost here who is supposed to be the scary one! "I really really really need your help! if you just try and look for an Inuzuka Kiba, I'd be really grateful!"
"No"
"Bu-"
"..."
"Please!" This guy is really frustrating! People would normally be scared into submission right now just because of the fact I am a ghost.
But this guy...
I don't know how to describe him but he's... he's, He's IMPOSSIBLE!
After several minutes of ignoring me, I came to the conclusion that he's already asleep. I don't know how he did it but he miraculously fell asleep while listening to my (I admit) annoying pleas. So I just decided to sit on the couches available in his room and wait until he wakes up. I am, too, tired of convincing him to help me but I just realized, there are tons of other people out there who can help me, why bother with this one?
I decided "If he still doesn't want to help me by the time he wakes up, so be it. I'll just find another person to help me! or maybe I'll try again with Naruto-san, maybe he won't faint the second time around" I smiled at the thought
Then something started ringing.
I was brought out of my thoughts and scanned the room to look where the ringing sound is coming from. My eyes landed on the tiny contraption that is placed on top of the bedside table. "I think they call it, a cellular phone if I'm not mistaken" I went to take a look on the screen of the phone and there I saw it...
1 Unread message
From: Inuzuka Kiba
To: Uchiha Sasuke
4:12am
My eyes widened.
Inuzuka Kiba
I turned to the sleeping figure just a few meters away from me
"You little liar"

This Kiba person... might just be him.
