A/N: This is my first fanfiction and I know there's a lot of mistakes because I hadn't bothered to edit it that much.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

ONE

Miracles in Black

On his way to deliver the events of the last anbu mission to the general, he stopped just before approaching the door. Something odd occurred, he heard his name through the door.

"-Uchiha watching her." The voice belonged to the current general, Tsunade. The general had a tone of a devil, spoken with pride in everything she said. She was a old hag that looked like she was in her thirties. Tsunade had been the first female general and a respectable one too. A/N: General is the equivalence of Hokage in this story

Sasuke inched closer to the door without a sound, as he tried to listen in. The general's room had been built to block sound from coming out.

Still, he made out a few words. "He….compatible." That was Kakashi's voice.

The impatient Uchiha wanted to know what was going on. He barged the door open and eyed both Kakashi and Tsunade with his onyx, distant eyes.

"Sasuke, you're here." Kakashi said, nervously. A little too nervous for Kakashi, that is.

Tsunade cleared her throat and scouted for a file. "We were discussing about a very important mission."

Sasuke urged her to continue. "But, I'm not sure you can handle it."

"You don't think I can handle it," questioned Sasuke, taking a bullet to his pride.

Kakashi eye twitched and he uttered, "This is extremely serious. If you fail… well let's just say failure means something much more than death."

The thought bothered to him. He just wanted to know what the damn mission was. He could get out of perilous missions without a scratch. If he can do that, he can handle anything.

Tsunade finally finds the file and placed it on her desk. The file wasn't packed with a lot of papers like the other files he got. "Your task, Uchiha Sasuke, is to protect the princess. You must become civil with her. The worst thing that could happen is the princess hating you." Tsunade takes a deep breath before she continued, "I know you are capable of protecting her, but the problems lies in getting her to like you. My first choice would have been Naruto but he's in no condition to protect her highness. I need you to be cautious and be on guard at all times."

Kakashi took the file from Tsunade's desk and handed it to Sasuke. "You will be starting this mission tomorrow. This is a mission for the country, don't fail."

Sasuke smirked at his past sensei. "I won't."

Uchiha Sasuke began to walked to his house with the file close to tightly held in his hands. Curiosity was getting to him so he changed his course to a nearby restaurant to look at the file.

Sasuke ordered Pasta and took a seat, slowly opening the file. Most of the files he got were old, over used, and was overcrowding with papers. This one on the hand was clean and fresh, like it had just been made for a sole purpose of his mission. The first thing is a character profile - typical. There was only one picture of her and it was with her mother and father. Unlike her parents, the princess was not smiling, instead she was looking off into the distance opposite of the camera looking at something. Her face was not shown and the other thing he can identifier her with was her long pink hair that reaches her mid back. Some of the things were not completely filled out leaving on a few things with information.

Name: Haruno Sakura

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Birthday: March 28

Height: 161 cm

That was all the character profile had in it. All the empty spots were taunting him. What did they want to hide about her? Sasuke flips to the next page. It was a page of her interests. He assumed it's a page to get her to like him, but the page had only one sentence.

The princess is often in the library of the castle.

There was only a few pages left of the file. They consist of tons of pictures of random people. These pages consisted of about two hundred people on each page. After a while of looking over them he realized that these were the threats. Anyone of these people were after her. He examined them again looking at all the faces. The last one on the last page was a Konoha shinobi that he had once took a mission with. Sasuke couldn't remember his name of the anbu.

A hand peered against Sasuke's shoulder. "A new mission?"

Sasuke knew the voice to well. It belonged to none other than Uzumaki Naruto. "Aa." He spoke, carefully placing the papers back into the folder.

"Teme! YOU JUST BACK FROM ONE! Tsunade hasn't given me one for over a week!" He blurted, waving his crutches all over the place. "When I become General, I'll send myself on all the missions I want. You better believe it, Sasuke!" The blonde's last mission had a pretty big effect on his body leaving him in the hospital for the two days. Bandages were all over his body.

"Dobe, you're in no condition to go on a mission"

Naruto, now curious, glared at the file in Sasuke's hands. "It's a profile. Who about?"

"The princess."

Naruto tried to grab the file however Sasuke had already pulled it out of his reach.

"Awww! COME ON SASUKE-TEME! Let me look at the file! Why do you get to meet the princess?!" The blonde took a seat next to Sasuke. The restaurant wasn't that known so they had been the only two customers. "I heard she's really pretty! Sorta like… like.. LIKE A FLOWER. Um… what was her name again? Suki-no… Saki-no-"

"Sakura."

"Yes! It was Sakura-chan-OWW! Why did you hit me, teme?"

Sasuke folded his arms against his chest. "You don't go around calling the princess 'Sakura-chan'. Shes a princess, Naruto."

"SAKURA-HIME-CHAN THEN," exclaimed Naruto.

The Uchiha did a mental facepalm.

"As the good friend I am, I'm going to come with you when you meet the princess!"

"What?" The startled Sasuke shook his head.

"I just want to meet the princess besides I heard bodyguards have to be on good terms with the princess. You icecube will have no chance of doing that without me." Sasuke considered it. Naruto was an open person that had an abundance of friends. "Teme, when do you start your mission?"

"Tomorrow."

The night before Sasuke started packing his things. So many things crossed his mind as he thought about the princess. He was sure the king and queen had heavy profiles, but why not the princess? It was weird to think not many people knew the name of the princess too. The annual parade had only the king and queen. No princess. Who was she and what was the reason of being so hidden? He considered it might be just her parents being overprotective of her yet it felt much more than that. Something more to the story. If there was something more to the story, he was going to uncover it.
