Suke: This is my new fic. This all came out of a silly little IM chat between me, my Naruto, and my Itachi. Haha. It's funny what you can think up from the smallest things. Anyways... SasuNaru fangirls, enjoy. :3
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did Naruto would be a prince, Sasuke would be his princess, and they'd live happily ever after in the land of Yaoi. ;D A girl can dream can't she?
│Once Upon A Time, I Fell In Love│
│Chapter One│
│Meeting│
---
I never thought of love as such a complicated feeling before. Then again, it never really came naturally to me. I was cold... a heartless monster as some called me... Love... the useless emotion never meant a single thing to me. It was... unnecessary.
But when I met him... I changed. Something deep inside of me sparked, and I could no longer control myself.
My frozen heart melted....

"My Lord..."
Onyx orbs averted to the voice that called. Uchiha Sasuke glanced down at the subject that addressed him.
"Yes, Tayuya?" the raven prince shifted in his throne. He motioned for the red-headed maid to arise from her knee's.
"My Lord," she repeated. "Lady Haruno had arrived from her journey from Konohagakure. Shall I user her in?"
Sasuke nodded his head. "Yes. Thank you Tayuya."
Tayuya bowed politely to her master before exiting the room.
"Maybe I should have told him about the guest that Lady Haruno has brought with her..." she pondered, hurrying to where the guests waited for her return. They came into view as Tayuya approached the end of the hallway.
"Lady Haruno," Tayuya bowed before her. "My Lord awaits."
The pink-haired girl giggled as a small smiled played across her lips. "Miss Yuya, I've told you before. You may call me Sakura." she said in a sweet voice.
The servant girl stood up straight. "I know my Lady, but it doesn't make me feel comfortable. I cannot even address my Lord by first name."
Sakura placed a comforting hand on Tayuya's shoulder. "As far as I'm concerned, your no different then a princess, Miss Yuya. So I don't want you to feel like you have to lower yourself to me." she explained, kindly. "Your a very beautiful, talented girl. So I don't think you should have to bow to me."
Tayuya found herself blushing at the princess's words. "Oh, t-thank you so very much, my Lady. I do not deserve such praise. Your too kind..." Tayuya retorted. "But, um I'm afraid we've kept my Lord waiting for far too long. You know he gets very impatient. So let us be on our way." She added, turning to lead the way back down the hall. She wondered why Lady Haruno hadn't introduced her companion.
Sakura looked to the boy next to her and smiled. "Come, let's go."
"Yes." he replied simply, flashing a foxy grin in return to her.

Sasuke peered up as the main doors opened once again. Tayuya appeared, followed by Princess Sakura. His eyes widened as another person entered after her. He wasn't expecting another guest. He had only thought that Sakura would be by herself. Sakura had come to Otogakure as a favor to Sasuke's family. She and Sasuke were to be married. An arranged marriage, set up by Sasuke's elder brother, Itachi. Right now Itachi held the title of King in their land, and in order for Sasuke to take the throne, he had to be wedded to someone of equal royalty. The only thing that was wrong with the engagement was that the two of them had no feelings, other then friendship, for each other. They had tried to explain this to Itachi, but he wouldn't hear a word of it. That was when Sasuke and Sakura came up with a plan. Sakura would be married to another member of a royal family, before she and Sasuke could be wedded.
That's when a thought came to Sasuke's mind. Maybe this boy with Sakura was the replacement. Sasuke examined him carefully. The boy had unkept, messy blond hair, and shocking cerulean orbs. He had soft sun-kissed skin, with 3 scars that looked like whiskers across each of his cheeks. He was simply beautiful. Sasuke had never seen this boy in his life, yet... he was so oddly familiar.
"Sakura, who is your friend?" he questioned, curiously.
"Oh, of course." Sakura stepped back and pushed her companion gently in front of her, "Go on... introduce yourself. No need to be shy..." she whispered in his ear.
The blond smiled nervously and looked up to the raven above him. "Prince Sasuke." he greeted, taking a deep breath.
Sasuke was surprised... no one, beside Sakura and his own family, had dared to call him by first name. They were all too afraid that he would lose his temper and go off on them. A bundle of nerves suddenly started growing in Sasuke's stomach. Just who was this boy?....
"I hail from the Land of Whirlpools. I was born under the royal name of Uzumaki. My parents are King Namikaze Minato, the 4th heir to the throne, and Queen Uzumaki Kushina. I rule as the prince in my land. My name is Uzumaki Naruto."
"Y-your..." Sasuke stuttered. "Your the prince from the Land of Whirlpools?!"
"I am." Naruto replied. "Lady Sakura had asked me to escort her here. And since I've been wanting to meet the ice cold prince of Otogakure, I couldn't resist her offer." he explained.
Sasuke flinched. He was well known for being the coldest person in the royal Uchiha family. It was no secret... not even to the world.
Sakura stepped forward with a smile on her face. "Sasuke, I thought you should know. Naruto and I are to be wedded very soon in order for Naruto to take over the Uzumaki throne."
"You mean your engaged?" Sasuke stood up and walked down to the two of them. "Well, I congratulate you." This was perfect... now the engagement between Sakura and himself would be called off. Itachi would have no choice but to do so. But, Sasuke felt weird. For some reason, he didn't want Sakura to be married to Naruto...
"Thank you, Sasuke." Sakura said, before pulling Naruto into a sudden lip lock.
Sasuke felt jealous. Not because Naruto was kissing Sakura... because Sakura was kissing Naruto....
"What's wrong with me?" he thought, wanting to push the pink-haired girl away from Naruto. "I don't like men, but.... this boy is so irresistable to me..."
Sasuke cleared his throat in order to grab their attention.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke..." Sakura apologized.
"It's perfectly fine. I understand." he lied. "Tayuya and I will show you both to your rooms." Sasuke didn't want the two of them in the same room. It was undeniably true that he was jealous. He wanted Naruto for himself, and he would have him. The raven alwaysgot what he wanted. Why would owning Naruto be any different then one of his servants?
Tayuya nodded. "This way..." she motioned for them to follow. She showed Sakura to her room first.
"This is one of the mansions more luxurious suites." Tayuya informed. "I hope it's to your liking."
The princess smiled. "Of course. Thank you Miss Yuya."
Tayuya bowed quickly. "I'll bring your luggage up righ away."
She was about to leave, when Sasuke took hold of her frail arm with a strong grip. "Make sure you bring Naruto's luggage to the master bedroom."
"But my Lord. That is your own room." she whispered.
"Just listen to me. That isyour job, is it not?" Sasuke said in an angry tone.
"Y-yes, my Lord. Right away." Tayuya replied, running off down the hallway.
Sasuke turned to Sakura. "Lady Sakura... why don't you get yourself settled in? Take a bath... rest up abit. I'm sure your journey from Konohagakure was tiring." he offered, trying to sound as sweet as possible.
"A bath sounds nice." Sakura replied, sitting on the king-sized bed.
Sasuke nodded. "Very well. I'll send my maid, Karin, up to prepare one for you." he said. "I hope you don't mind too much if I steal Naruto away for awhile... to give him a tour of the mansion."
Sakura smiled. "Oh, sure. Go ahead."
"I'm game." Naruto added, grinning.
"Alright, well then come with me." Sasuke said while he and the blond exited the room.
"So where to first?" Naruto asked.
"Wait a minute. I have to get Karin up here to pre-occupy Sakura." Sasuke went over to a phone on the wall, picked it up, and dialed a number.
"What do you mean by pre-occupy?...."
Naruto was ignored as Sasuke began speaking to another person. "Karin.... the Princess from Konohagakure has arrived, and she would like to take a bath. So if you could assist her... yes... thank you..." he hung up the black, old-fashioned phone back on the wall. "Alright."
Sasuke began walking again. "Come on."
Naruto caught up quickly. They wandered around several hallways. Naruto wondered if they would ever stop. Finally Sasuke came to a halt in front of a room. "This is my room." he said, going inside.
Naruto followed and went on ahead of him. He spotted his bags on the floor. "Hey... why are those in here? This isn't my room..."
"Sure it is." A smirk crawled onto Sasuke's lips, as he locked the door behind him.
"Naruto...."
The blond prince turned to the others voice. "What?" he came face to face with the raven. "Hehe, your a bit close, ne Sasuke?"
No reply came from Sasuke's mouth. Dead silence fell over the two boys as Sasuke continued to get closer and closer to Naruto.
"What are you doing?..." Naruto breathed as the elder boy grabbed him by the wrist and placed his other hand behind his head, entangling his fingers in his silky, blond hair.
"Usually I'm never one to claim what's not rightfully mine..." Sasuke inched closer to Naruto's face. A noticeable pink blush rose to heat Naruto's cheeks. "... but I simply can't resist you. Your so tempting, Naruto...." Sasuke finished, before pressing his cold lips onto Naruto's soft, warm ones.
Moments passed as the two princes stood kissing each other, completely frozen in time.

And so.... I fell in love with a prince....
