Kings, Queens, Servants, Kingdoms... Such Drama!

I hope you enjoy reading this chapter!

Chapter One~

"My soft words shall make you fall fast asleep, my young child," soft, sweet, whispers shivered through her ears, sending her warmth throughout her whole body. She smiled and closed her little blue eyes slowly as she tried to sleep peacefully. He kept saying gentle, soothing words to help her fall, and stay, asleep as her arm. She fell asleep sooner than she thought she would have and entered her imaginary world of dreams. Her favorite place in her whole world, besides being with her daddy.

…Daddy…?

A sudden noise awoke her from her peaceful dream and she stirred awake. Her cerulean blue orbs gazed into brown ones with some brown hair falling into the persons face. Sayuki and she looked frantic.

"Finally, Ino! I have tried waking you up for a long time now." She sighed. "Lady Temari wants you to sew her dress that she accidently ripped."

Ino nodded as she rubbed the crud out of her eyes and she stood up quickly. She fixed her hair and her maid dress and went to leave with Sayuki.

"Um, why do I personally have to fix her dress when I am on brake and sleeping?" Ino asked when they were walking in the hallway, nearing the Queens personal room. "I mean, did she really want me personally to fix her dress?"

"As a matter of fact, yes she does." Sayuki replied to the blue eyed blonde.

"What?" Ino blurted out a bit more loudly than needed. A few guards that were close by looked at her rudely.

Sayuki sighed for the second time in the last five minutes.

"Ino, you're new to this Kingdom still and Queen Temari likes to get to know her maids." She looked over at Ino and gave her a sympathetic look. "She's a bit sticker to the newbie's."

Ino scrunched her eyebrows together and placed a worried look on her face. "A bit?"

Sayuki smiled.

"There you are maid! I have been waiting for five whole minutes since I told Sayuki to fetch you." Temari screeched out.

Ino bowed respectfully at her Royal Highness Temari "My apologizes, milady," Ino said, not lifting her head to see Lady Temari's face.

That would be very disrespectful towards her and no maid, nor servant, would even dare to do that; unless he or she wanted to get a beaten. There was one male servant that refused to bow or use respectful names towards any royal person. It was said he hated them and was only nice to the other servants and maids. He thought the servants and maids should rule the Kingdoms and the royal people should b servants and maids. He hated them with a passion. The servant was supposedly killed short after coming to this very kingdom about fifteen years ago. It was said that King Shikaku Nara had him hung. It was also said that his favorite hobby was hanging people, next was women… even though he was married to Queen Yoshino.

Temari sighed. "Well since you are here now, I need you to sew my dress for me. Apparently your family once ran a tailor shop, so I suspect you to make my dress even better than it once was, am I understood?"

Ino nodded. "Yes, milady."

"Good, follow me." She walked to a corner of the room where an elegant chair was sitting and grabbed an ankle length dress.

It was very delicate looking, with it being three shades of green. The outside coding of it was dark green, then that faded into a lighter green and then a very light lime green. So every three layers were nicely color coated. There was little hunter green bows all over the dress that just made it look perfect. Ino could see her lady Temari in it and showing off after Ino fixed it. Ino just barely looked down to see herself in her maid dress. She wore a light blue ankle length dress that was short sleeve and also a white apron that was tied around her waist and came to her ankles as well. Her plain dress was nothing compared to many of her dresses.

Temari turned her dress over so she could show Ino the huge rip on the thigh area. "As you can see, there is a rip there." She pointed to the rip, "and as you can guess, I need you to fix it for me."

"Yes, milady."

Temari threw her dress at Ino, who thankfully caught it and Temari turned around to her four mirror wall and started to fiddle with her hair.

"I also want you to hem it, because it is far too long for me," Temari said not even bothering to turn around.

Ino bowed her head. "Yes, milady."

Temari eyed the young maid when she made no attempt to move.

"Well, what are you waiting for, maid?" Before Ino said or did anything, Temari continued, "Sit in that chair now," she snapped and pointed to the elegant chair that Ino was admiring earlier.

Ino did as she was told. She sat down and started looking the dress over for good measure.

"Maid!" Temari barked at one of the other maids in the room, "Get sewing supplies for the other maid."

The maid, who had hurried over to her Queen, nodded and hurried someplace else in the room. She came back with a small size, wooden box with gold outlines on it that wavered different designs on it. It looked like an old antique, Ino thought as she admired it.

The maid held it out to her lady and Temari took it without a second glance at the maid. She opened it and showed Ino what lay inside.

Many different colored threads and sewing needles, of all sizes, were neatly scattered all around.

"Well take it already," she declaimed, losing patience. Ino nodded and took it without question. "I expect you to have it done by the morning, waiting for me. That should be plenty enough time for you to finish it. I plan on wearing it tomorrow so I want it perfect." she huffed out.

Ino nodded.

Just as Queen Temari opened her mouth to speak, a knock was heard from her door. When she went to turn to the door, it opened, producing King Shikamaru as he walked in. "Temari, are you ready for bed?" he asked as her strode over to his wife's side.

"Just about." She smiled up at Shikamaru, who stood a few inches taller than herself, then looked back down at Ino, who was sitting on the chair she was ordered to. "Amaya!" she called her handmaid over without taking her eyes off of Ino.

She rushed over and quickly bowed respectively. "How may I be of service…?"

Temari turned to her and lowered her voice a couple notches. "Watch her." Without another glance at either of them, she and her King left.

Ino, with downcast eyes, and Amaya staring at her intently like a hawk, began fixing the beautiful dress.

Okay, so I don't have anything else written for this chapter, but I'll try coming up with something. Until then,
