Hi guys! This is Erza again, with another story but this time, its a multichaptered story :D This story has been on my mind for quite a while now but I never got the time to post it up. But without further delay, here is the first chapter of The Prince and The Princess :D (btw, lame name, I know but I didn't know what to name it :P )


The maid timidly approached the bed. She hesitatingly put out her hand to touch the sleeping person, then thought better of it and quickly withdrew her hand. She was about to turn and leave, if it wasn't for the other maid, waiting at the door and giving her a scolding look. Once again, the shy maid stretched out her hand, and this time, she shook the sleeping person.

"Hime-sama!" she whispered. "Wake up!"

The said person merely grumbled and turned the other way.

"Hime-sama!" the maid said in a much louder and urgent tone.

The sleeping girl feebly waved her hand at the maid, a weak attempt to shoo her away.

"Hime-sama! Don't make me do this! Please!"

There was no answer from the girl. The maid gulped and shakily took the bucket of water that she had brought along with her.

"I'm counting till 3. Only 3 seconds hime-sama!" "Oh please let her wake up!" the maid thought in her mind. "1. 2. 3!"

At the third count, the bucket of icy cold water was dumped on the sleeping princess.

"WHAT THE HECK!" the murderous looking princess glared at the maid. The maid squeaked in fright and ran to the door to join her fellow servant.

"I-I'm so s-sorry hime-sama! B-but you w-wouldn't w-wake up and the k-king wants to s-see you!"

The princess rubbed the back of her head with her hand sheepishly. "Aah sorry Hinata-chan! I didn't mean to yell at you like that, it's just, I'm not a morning person. And how many times have I told you not to call me hime-sama! Just call me Sakura or Sakura-chan!"

Hinata blushed at the princess' boldness and matter how many times Sakura told her, Hinata could never remember to call her without any formality. She just wasn't used to such kindness.

"H-Hai him- Sakura-chan."

Sakura gave the shy, blue-haired maid a bright smile before turning onto the other maid.

"And you! Ino-pig! I can't believe you gave up a chance to splash me with water. And ice-cold water, nonetheless!"

Ino pretended to bluff her nails on her shirt before blowing on them."Whatever Forehead. I'm just feeling nice today." she smirked.

Sakura just rolled her eyes before she remembered the reason why she was woken up."So why does my dad want to see me?"

"Beats me" replied Ino nonchalantly. "But you better hurry up or you'll be late."

"Ughh... I'm so not in the mood.." she reluctantly rolled off her bed and headed towards the bathroom. "So troublesome.." she muttered under her breath.

Ino smiledd at her grumpy best friend- she was always like this in the mornings.


Sakura quickly washed up and got dressed. She was walking down the hall when she noticed the time."HOLY CRAP! IT'S 12:00 ALREADY! Dad is gonna kill me!"

She flew down the stairs and promptly smacked into the throne room's door.

"Not again.." she muttered. When she opened the door, she closed her eyes shut and bowed low, expecting a lecture from her father. But to her surprise, it was silent. She opened her eyes and looked around. There was no one there.

"Mom? Dad?" she called out. There was no answer. She noticed a piece of paper on the king's throne and went to pick it up. It was a note from the king himself.

Sakura,

Since I know you will not be here until 12, I left you this note. Please meet us at the Tea room. PLEASE be on your best behaviour.

Kiseki

She frowned. Be on your best behaviour? What for? But nevertheless, she went to the tea room.

Before she entered the room, she flattened out her itchy dress and took a deep breath. She knocked on the door and entered.

FLOP!

On the very first step, she tripped over her shoe laces and quickly scrambled back up and cursed under her breath. When she looked up, she felt her mouth go dry. Sitting with her parents were King Fugaku and Queen Mikoto along with their two very good looking, smirking sons. She immediately flushed and gave an embarrassed smile. "Sorry I'm late!"

King Kiseki nervously laughed and gave Sakura a what-are-you-doing stare. Why wear shoes at a place like this with a dress like that? Sakura merely shrugged."Fugaku, Mikoto, I would like you to meet my only daughter Sakura. Sakura, meet the Uchihas."

Sakura bowed."Pleased to meet you."

"Sakura, the Uchihas will be staying with us for a while. Fugaku and I have some political things to work out so do you mind staying with Sasuke and Itachi? They should be about your age. You can bring them out and show them around the palace if you like. Also, their bedrooms are in the same corridor as yours. Please show them the way and make their stay pleasant." Although Kiseki said this quite formally, Sakura knew what he was really asking.

"Please don't mess this up and stay out of trouble."

She sighed. "Alright then. Boys follow me." She got up from her chair and walked out the door,the Uchihas following behind.

"You have quite the daughter there." Mikoto said with a mischievous smile.

Kiseki gave a weary sigh. "I know."
