Chapter I- First Meeting
…
A raven haired shinobi walked through the door of King Inoichi, ruler of Konoha. He bowed when the king came into view.
"Why did you summon me, my Lord?"
"Kakashi told me that you're a very promising shinobi. I am really surprised that he commented like that and I'm very impressed that you are very young. Nineteen, right?"
"Yes."
"Can you handle and deal every kind of order I will give you?"
"I will do my best."
"Good. You'll be dealing with my daughter."
"What? I mean why?" the raven haired ninja was surprised by the fact that he had been summoned not because of an S-rank mission but to do a baby-sitting duty.
"Well. There is a kidnapping threat to my daughter. Of course, we didn't tell her. I hired many shinobi but they just couldn't handle her. She does everything for her 'security' to lose temper with her and gave up eventually." The king looks disappointed with this and gave the ninja in front of him a you-must-not-give-up-on-her-attitude look.
Sigh. "Yes, my Lord."
A servant came and led the shinobi to the princess. She is an old lady with a warm smile.
"Son, the princess is very hard on people like you. She really hates being followed around. Deal with her, please. She's a sweet child. Once she grew fond of you, you'll see how nice she is."
"Yes, Obaa-san."
Knock. Knock.
The door opened and a blond haired girl with blue eyes came into view. She smiled at the old lady and immediately frowned when she noticed the shinobi. Her doll-like features also look beautiful even through her frowns.
"Who is he, Kaede obaa-san?"
"Lady Ino, this is Uchiha Sasuke-kun. He will be your guar-"
"I told them I don't need a bodyguard!"
"Lady Ino, please calm down."
"What's wrong? Why do I need security? Why?"
Her blue eyes looked furiously at Sasuke. He just stared back and bowed.
Argh! "You'll be running away from here in a week!" She threatens him. It sounds so cute to hear threats like that from a sweet voice like her. It made him smile slightly.
"Leave. Now." She ordered.
"As you wish, my Lady." Sasuke left the room and Ino starts complaining to Kaede, the old lady she consider as her own grandmother.
"Please, Lady Ino. Don't give him a hard time. He looks nice."
"No. I'll show father that no shinobi can handle me! I hate him for doing this to me!"
Sigh. The struggle, torture and headache begins.
