Things I do for you
"Sak... Your highness it's time."
A tall man clad in black butler uniform announced.
"I understand. Let's go."
The other person who was standing in the wedding attire replied in a low voice as he finished fixing his gloves.
"Yes, sire."
The man with the blond hair with the faint pinkish specular was waiting at the altar for his bride. He was wearing black wedding attire. His face was expressionless. Even though it was suppose to be a grand event, but only a few people were invited. A few minutes later the bride arrived. She walked towards the altar with her father beside her. With a beautiful white wedding dress draped over her she looked like an angel.
As she reached the altar, a smile spread across the blonde groom's face but no one could tell that the smile never reached his eyes. Now she stood in front of him. He gently took her hand in his and said "You look beautiful." The girl blushed furiously and shyly replied "Th...Thank your highness."
"Please call me Naruto. There's no need for formalities anymore Hinata." The blonde insisted with a charming smile.
After that the rings were exchanged and the vows were taken, finally the priest voice resonated in the chapel.
"You may kiss the bride now."
The groom was slightly tensed but covered it with a smile, when he lifted the veil the woman before him seemed nervous and a little reluctant. She was really beautiful with her dark hair, silver eyes. Her lips were painted red she really was the epitome of an angel.
The blonde chuckled at her and tried to reassure her.
"Relax, it will be fine."
He tenderly put a hand on her cheek, he didn't have to bent much since there was not much of a difference in their heights. The girl turned red at the gesture and shyly looked up at man who was about to kiss her and slowly closed her eyes.
It felt like she could trust this person in front of her, even though she didn't love him.
She felt a warm sensation on her lips, before she could even respond the sensation was gone. When she slowly opened her eyes the person wasn't looking at her anymore. She could tell the guy was considerate of her feelings and she was thankful for that.
Soon they were proclaimed as husband and wife. The rest of events passed in a daze.
It was late night hours now. The newly wedded blonde was sitting in his study room reading a document and sipping some tea along with it.
"KNOCK, KNOCK."
"Come in."
Two figures entered the room. The older man was his personal attendant and the other guy was around his age who happened to be his bodyguard.
"What is it Kakashi, Sai?"
"Sorry for intruding your highness but it's about time you should greet princess consort Hinata." the older man reminded him.
"After all it's your wedding night." The younger male said with a fake smile.
'You never change Sai, As blunt as ever.' The blonde thought.
Without looking away from the document the blonde sighed, stood up and headed towards the door.
"I'll be retreating for the night then."
The silver haired man looked at the blonde's retreating figure with worry.
When he returned to his room the place was dimly lit with the candles. His bride was sitting at the center of the bed fidgeting with the hem of her dress. He cleared his throat to make his presence known to other party.
"I apologize for my late greetings."
"N..No ... it's alright. I...I understand t...that your are a busy p...person." The woman appeared to be too frightened to even form a proper sentence. The man gazed at her intensely, making her even more nervous.
"I see. Thank you for understanding."
Unlike during the wedding ceremony her husband was not smiling at her anymore, in fact he was expressionless. Seeing him like this she wondered, if she was being disliked. The thought made a feel sad and relieved at the same time. Relived because she didn't want to give herself to a man she didn't love considering her heart was already taken by someone else and Sad because from now on their fates were tied, they were going to live the rest of their lives together so, she wanted them to get along and understand each other if possible.
Or else their lives would be miserable.
Suddenly they heard a cluttering noise and hushing from outside the slightly parted door.
When the man heard the noise he narrowed his eyes and a frown marred his feminine face. He was disgruntled by the disturbance but for some reason he ignored it and walked towards the woman on the bed. He gently grabbed her chin, before she could comprehend what was going on he kissed her, for the first few moments she was in shock and couldn't react but when he mildly bit her lower lip. She gasped in surprised and taking this opportunity he slide something sweet like a candy in her mouth making a swallow it. The girl tried to struggle but it was all in vain. The man was too strong for her he pinned her hands behind her back and embraced her tightly. The kiss was intense the girl shut her eyes tightly in protest. Then he coldly glared at the parted door. As if commanding whoever was intruding in their privacy to scram of there will be consequences.
The peeking maids outside were blushing furiously and were in a dreamy daze but when they received the icy glare they turned pale. Understanding the underlying meaning behind the look and scattered like ants not wanting to receive the punishment. Their master was rarely seen even in the castle much less in public, he was a man with the mild temperament usually he was stoic but he was always polite even to the servants. This was the first time they have seen him this furious. So they decided not to test his patience and run for their lives while they can.
As soon as he confirmed, the trespassing maids had left, he let the girl in his embrace go. He released a deep breath. Shortly, he felt a stinging on his left cheek, when he looked at the teary eyed woman, he realized that he had been slapped.
She was angry and hurt at his behavior and without thinking she slapped him. Her eyes were brimming with tears.
But when he rested his eyes on her, she realized and was scared of what she had just done. Her eyes widened in fear. She just slapped her husband the crown Prince of this kingdom.
Looking at such expression him on contrary to getting angry like she had anticipated he just sigh and stood up from the bed.
"Forgive me of my rudeness."
He said with a smile on his face. She was startled by the unexpected apology, he moved towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
He pointed at the parted door still smiling and then it came back to her exactly what transpired. The maids were peeking from the door, so in order to get rid of them he did that, because if the rumors were to spread that the Prince doesn't like his princess consort the people will look down on her and her family. Now she felt guilty for hitting him. She opened her mouth to apologize but she was cut by his low voice.
"You don't have to apologize Hinata, it was I who was inconsiderate for your feelings and did something rude."
He shut the door. She was about to deny his words but he just changed the topic.
"I understand that you are in love with someone else and there's no affection between us. But I would like for us to get along, I will provide you everything you need, you are free to do whatever you want. If you have any problems come to me without hesitation. This is the least I could do for you, to compensate for your loss."
She was touched by his sincere words. It was true that she can't love him but something within told her that she could trust him with her life. And finally she gave him an accepting smile. She started feeling sleepy. He watched her yawn.
"Go to sleep Hinata." She was exhausted and decided not to argue with him.
"Good night, yo... Prince Naruto..."
"Good night Hinata."
'Looks like the sleeping pill started working.'
The instant, he made sure that the girl was in a deep sleep, he went to his wardrobe pulled out a comfortable looking set of clothes and went into the bathroom. He removed his wedding attire. And slipped a pair of pants as for his chest bindings, he unwrapped it, folded it neatly and tucked it under his dirty clothing and put on a loose shirt. Her laundry was specifically handled by her personal maid. Good thing her chest wasn't too big as long as no one touches it, they won't find out.
Yes she is a girl, the so called newlywed Prince of this country was a girl.
Well not really. She sighed again.
"Things I do for you dear brother." She mumbled recalling the times she kissed Hinata.
'I can't believe it, my first and second kiss were given to a girl. It's not like I had any other option.'
'Hurry up and come back Naruto.'
The blonde girl exited the bathroom putting her dirty clothes in the basket.
She had very few attendants to help her with her personal needs and even fewer who knew her secret.
In reality her brother Naruto was the real crown Prince of this country. He went on a journey to understand his country, his people and their needs. So he could become a better king in the future. He was travelling with his master Jiraya who was once one of the great generals of this kingdom and also one of the most trusted personnel of the Current and the previous king.
Minato Kamikaze is the Current king of this nation and Kushina being the queen. They were her and Naruto's parents. Both the king and the queen were loved by their people for being kind and impartial.
When the matter of Naruto leaving on a journey was brought up, Kushina was completely against it. But later Minato somehow managed to convince her.
At first she thought it was because her brother wanted to become a good king but later did she found out that there was another reason for this. Jiraya was preparing him for the egregious future that was most likely to come with the tension going on between the other nations and for the war if it were to break out.
'In order to keep him safe their parents decided to keep the information about Naruto's departure a secret. So they came up with a plan and requested me to disguise as Naruto and perform his duties until he comes back. I readily agreed to that. I'd do anything for my parents and my brother and since I was learning under one of the great generals Tsunade herself so the strength wasn't a problem.
Everything was going just fine until my stupid brother fell in love with the marquis's daughter during his journey and since his feelings were reciprocated. He informed our father with a letter and requested him to arrange the marriage between them. And yes the marquis's daughter happened to be the girl I married.
The marriage was supposed to happen between my brother and her but fortunately or unfortunately my stupid brother forgot to tell her about his identity. The girl is clearly in love with my brother. My father wanted to wait for my brother to come back but due to some unwanted circumstances they couldn't wait. So that's when I come into the picture. I had to take my brother place in 'his' wedding. But since my brother love's this woman with all his heart I decided to go along with it, so that no one would take her away from him.
Anyway until my brother comes I'm responsible for her so until she is under my care I'll protect her and when the time comes I'll tell her the truth.'
She covered the sleeping girl with a blanket and laid down on the couch near the bed. She didn't want for the truth to be revealed so she decided to sleep on the couch rather than bed.
She woke up early in the morning quickly finished her morning routine along with a bath and changed. She decided to wake up her sleeping 'wife' when the sun rays started to enter the room.
"Hinata wake up."
Her eyes fluttered open, still sleepy. When she heard another voice she remembered yesterday's events.
"It's about time we greet my parents, so get ready Hinata."
She looked at her husband whose face was expressionless. She was jolted awake and ran to the bathroom. The blonde was amused at the dark haired girl's action. He went towards bathroom's door knocked twice and said.
"I don't have many servants. So I'll arrange some for you later. So please bear with it for the time being. I have arranged you clothes. I'll wait for you outside."
Informing her that, she left the room and waited for her 'wife' outside, after a while the dark haired woman came out wearing the dress she arranged for her.
"Let's go."
The blonde took her hand and lead her to her parents.
After greetings her parents they asked the prince to stay behind as to they wanted to have a word with their daughter. So they asked one of the maids to escort Hinata to the dining hall. Her parents were quite pleased with their daughter in law especially her mother she was very fond of her. After the girl left with the maid their expressions became serious.
"Are you really okay with this Sakura? You don't have to do this. You don't have to take the burden on yourself." The red haired woman asked worriedly.
"I'll be fine mother. After all I'm your daughter. Until that stupid brother of mine comes back I'll take care of everything so don't worry."
Minato chuckled and ruffled her hair said.
"I'm proud of both you and Naruto. But I really miss your pink hair and that stupid brother of yours."
And then they all started laughing.
'I really love my family.'
I do not own Naruto. -_-
This is going to be a short story unlike my other fanfic's the chapter's might be vague. As for kiss in this chapter thanks to my non existent love life i don't know what a kiss feels like so if there's something wrong with the description I can't do anything about it i'm sorry.
The appearance of both the protagonists is same as in the cover. it's just Sakura has dyed her hair blonde.
There's going to be some Sakuhina in the beginning but I assure you it's a Sasusaku and Naruhina story.
I appreciate all the favs, alerts and reviews.
If there's any mistakes please let me know. Last but not the least if you don't like yuri please don't flame me.
