he made it just in time to help the others from fighting the army that the sky god sent to them. with waves of them coming, sasuke pushed them back with his new profound power that he received from the underworld. when the army retreated, they rejoiced. that night they celebrated.

"thank you for coming to aid my people, eldest one."

he looked up to the person who was talking to him. it was none other than the earth goddess herself.

"it is right and just to help my brother and sister who needs help."

tsunade gave sasuke more wine and food for him to eat.

"you are far away from our homeland, eldest one. how are you holding up?"

he shook his head and he said that he was getting by.

"with the power of the underworld, they sparred me some of their energy." tsunade gasped.

"no... you... what did you exchanged?!" he didnt answer her but smiled instead.

"what did you exchanged, eldest one?"

"for the greater good for all of us." he lied.

he exchanged himself. his time. and life. to rule the underworld when the war is over for the rest of eternity. even if he wont see the sun often or never, as long as theres the greater good for everyone and theyre safe, thats all it matters to him. as the eldest god out of everyone, he has to carry the burden and struggle through it even if it is injustice.

as the night rolled by, everyone was having fun. celebrating. and relaxing. sasuke on the other hand caught a glimpse of this girl with pink hair. she was with her friends. talking and laughing. with sasuke's super hearing, he can cancel out everyone's voices and noises and just focus on her. her voice was tantalizing. soft. and serene. her laugh brings life to his hatred world. when she looked at him, she shyly smiled and blushed.

"hey! i know there's a lot of girls here but damn, look at every single one of them!"

sasuke shook his head and continued on eating. he took stolen glances from the girl, so did she. it was the feeling of attraction. he wants her. and he cant deny it. first time seeing her, he has this feeling of strong attachment to her and he doesnt know why as if the fates are playing with him.

he was young and naive. even though he was the eldest one out of all them, he was the most sheltered child. he was also young and reckless. his power untamed and raw. so much potential can be refined. sasuke always let his feelings go wild, anger first, love last. but when it comes to this girl that he met couple of nights ago, wherever she goes, his eyes follows. until one night, she said hi to him and introduced herself.

"miyuki. im a priestess for the goddess tsunade. and you are?"

she smiled at him. her scent. flowers and rainshower with a hint of citrus. spring. when he looked at her, he was hoping her eyes were green so it would match how her hair was pink and it would be spring, but alas. her eyes were blue. but light blue. bluer than the morning sky. bluer than the ocean. bluer than the sun god's eyes.

"my name is... i'm-"

before he could even give out his name, someone interrupted them.

"eldest one, there's a message pertaining aboutt he status of our allies from the west."

he took the scroll and the errand guy left. when he looked at her, she has this shocked expression.

"is there something wrong?"

"no... its just that... you're the eldest one. the second hand of the Lord Creator himself."

"that would be me." he smiled at her.

"dont be afraid... miyuki. i will protect you from harm. and everyone else."

he reached out left hand to hers and she slowly accepted it. they walked around the town with their hands tied, just enjoying the nightly breeze.
