I'm rewriting my story entitled 'Fall', I never got to finish this story before and looking back at the chapters I noticed that they are quite badly written.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE NARUTO
The sun has retired for the day and night has fallen all over the land, only the merrymaking in the Spartan castle breaks an otherwise epitome of a tranquil night. In the stronghold, everyone was drinking to their hearts' content and helping themselves over the feast.
As the music and laughter of the citizens, warriors and visitors alike resounded in the walls of the castle, the king and the queen sat regally in raised dais of thrones in the end f the banquet table. The monarchs are observing the feast before them and contemplating the newly signed peace treaty between Sparta and Troy or at least it is what the king is doing.
The queen, belying her poised countenance is a mess inside and the culprit of said mess is looking directly at her. Shikamaru, the younger prince of Troy is looking at her intently. The gaze the prince is bestowing the queen is of fascination, determination and desire.
The king has seen the way he looked at the queen but dismissed it, seemingly used in seeing it in men. After all, being the husband of the dubbed most beautiful woman that ever graced the surface of the earth probably granted him a lot of practice and giving way to desensitization.
She knows it's wrong but Ino couldn't find it in herself to look away, the younger prince is quite charming. He has a certain boyish charm in him that seem to entice her to him. She has to look away not only is she the queen and wife to the king of Sparta but the prince is a menace to womankind who leaves a trail of broken hearts everywhere he goes.
And as the night progressed, he continued to look longingly at her and the queen needing a breather from the smothering feel of his eyes on her turned to Naruto.
"Sire, would you excuse me? I'm feeling quite faint and would need some air..." gingerly touching Naruto's forearm and smiling at her the king acquiesce to her request.
"Yes, you may and perhaps the night has tire you. If you'd wish to retire for the night afterwards you may." She offered a brief smile before she excused herself.
And as swiftly as the wind, the young prince tails the queen into one of the spacious balcony gone unnoticed by everyone but one.
Breathing in all the fresh air she needs and breathing out the tension, she felt a presence behind her and a pair of strong arms wraps themselves around her tiny waist.
"Why do you torment me so?" She asks, not resisting his hold knowing it would be futile.
"The rumors of the beautiful Spartan queen have reached me in Troy never am I a believer of rumors but as I behold you in my arms and in my eyes, it indeed is an infallible fact." He states in that love struck manner as he breathes in her scent of peonies and lilacs.
"How kind are the rumors that you've heard about me." She says as she struggles to put an arms' length distance between the two of them, "I on the other hand have heard that you are an insufferable spoiled and pampered prince who does as he pleases and hops from temple to temple bedding maidens."
"Do I detect jealousy from my queen?" he asks as he stills her struggle on getting out of his arms. "Rumors my queen are fallible and as far as I am concerned, I was merely trying to find a worthy consort."
"The search is over," his eyes glints with determination and possessiveness. "I have found my queen."
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Outraged, Ino shove with all the might she possess at the young prince and he lost his balance, successfully removing him from her person. "Impudent young prince! I am a Queen! A consort to the King!"
"Be that as it may, I love you and will always love you more than that husband of yours could ever love you." Shikamaru boldly professes undeterred by Ino's outburst. "Does he even love you to begin with?"
"Love is absent in most marriages of convenience." He added as an afterthought further complicating the already addled mind of the queen.
Ino narrows her eyes at Shikamaru.
He knows too much!
Naruto became the King of Sparta after he married Ino, the then sole unmarried princess of Sparta.
"It seems I have raised your ire but believe me when I say it wasn't my intention." He says reaching out for her hand, "hear me beloved, he may not love you but I do, tomorrow at dawn I will be sailing back to Troy." He finishes with a kiss to her palm and with that he took his leave.
"Naruto do you love me, my king?" She whispers as she looks up to the heavens as if she can fathom the answers from the stars.
The next morning everything in the Spartan castle is the same as always except the king is furious like never before.
"My king, the queen is nowhere to be seen! I have sought everywhere!" Naruto gnaws his teeth in unadulterated rage.
"Does anyone know the whereabouts of my wife?" He whispers dangerously low
"Y-your majesty, I have seen the queen leave the castle early this morning." Her trembling handmaiden quips.
A palace guard rushes in front of the king and curtsied very low for his impudence to approach the king in a brash manner.
"Please do forgive my lord but I bring important news! A fisherman has seen the queen aboard the Trojan ship!" The panting palace guard gushed out.
With that the king exploded; expensive porcelain from the Far East hit the wall and shattered and expensive fine linen from Egypt were ripped into unrecognizable rugs.
"Prepare my ship!" The king ordered as he finished thrashing the great hall and the frightened servants all scurried to do his bidding in haste.
"It's time for me to pay my brother a visit." the servants who are still within earshot shivered at the thought of their sovereign's brother.
Ino why did you do this to me?!
