Chapter 1

Hey everyone! So this is my first fanfiction and I really hope you enjoy it. The first chapter is really for you to get an idea of the setting and characters, so the story begins in the next chapter. The four main characters are below. This fic will be SasuxSaku(mostly) and NaruxHina but of course you'll see other pairings like NejixTenten and ShikaxIno :)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. The only characters I own would be Violet and Lily since I made them up lol.

Rating: Right now, I'm just going to go ahead and say Mature but really I don't know how my lemon writing skills are so we'll see. There will be some cursing here and there. I'll definitely let you know ahead of time which parts will have lemon so you can skip over them if you don't read them. Please don't let that be a reason for you to not try my story :) I'm still getting acquainted with fanfiction terminology so umm please don't flame! aha I'm really gonna try my best and I'd love to get feedback!

Konoha is its own separate country. It's basically a huge island that is divided into 4 kingdoms. Each area is ruled by a royal family. The northern kingdom is called Chikyuu ("Earth" in Japanese) and is ruled by the Uzumaki Family. The eastern part Kasai ("Fire" in Japanese) is ruled by the Uchihas. The south, Kuki ("Air" in Japanese) is ruled by the Hyuugas and the west, Mizu ("Water" in Japanese) is ruled by the Harunos. The council members help each family make decisions and rule its people. This story is set in modern times.

Characters:

Prince Sasuke Uchiha (24 years old): He is the youngest son of the Royal Uchiha family. He is currently known as an infamous player and his best friend is Prince Naruto. His older brother Itachi refused to be the next king a long time ago, so that he could pursue his acting career(I know lol) so everyone automatically expected Sasuke to take the role. He grew up with the Haruno and Uzumaki. He started dating Princess Violet Haruno when he was 18 years old. So it wasn't a surprise when they became engaged at 21. In fact, all of Konoha rejoiced upon hearing the happy news. Sadly, a car accident took her life and left him with a broken heart. Ever since then, he promised to never fall in love again, but can a man really live without love?

Prince Naruto Uzumaki (24 years old): He is the oldest prince of the Royal Uzumaki family. He's a vibrant and playful prince and his best friend/nemesis is Prince Sasuke. He has a younger brother named Konohamaru (20 years old). As the oldest son, he is next in line for the throne and is expected to marry a princess. The council has come to the decision that it would be best if Prince Naruto marries the oldest princess of the Royal Hyuuga family, Hinata. They've never met before, so can true love blossom between two strangers?

Princess Sakura Haruno (22 years old): She is the middle child of the Royal Haruno Family. She had an older sister named Violet. Her younger sister is named Lily (19 years old). Sakura has always had a passion for helping and caring for others. After her older sister passed away in a tragic car accident 5 years ago, she took on all her sister's responsibilities. The only role she wasn't able to fulfill was to become Sasuke Uchiha's wife. As a child, Sakura was always seen as the nerdy middle sister and was teased a lot by the other kids. Even though Naruto was older than her, he would always play with her and Ino when he visited the Haruno palace. Sakura has always liked Sasuke, but when she found out that her sister liked him also, she tried to forget him. When Violet and Sasuke started dating, Sakura decided to continue her education overseas. After her sister's passing, Sakura came back to Konoha. She has blossomed into a beautiful young lady but will she be able to make a certain prince notice her heart?

Princess Hinata Hyuuga (22 years old): She is the oldest princess of the Royal Hyuuga family. Her father has always been very strict and protective of her and her younger sister Hanabi (18 years old). She never really had guy friends except for her cousin Neji. Her father only allowed her to travel to the Haruno palace when she was young. Her best friend has always been Princess Sakura. During her teenage years, as an act of rebellion, she used to sneak out of her palace at night. She fell in love with a commoner named Ren, and gave herself to him. Her father eventually found out, and paid him disappear from his daughter's life. Ren came from a poor family and didn't want to get caught up in a mess with the royal family so he left. Hinata fell into depression and became very ill. She later suffered a miscarriage. Now, the council has matched her with Prince Naruto. Can a woman who lost all hope for love, find happiness in a stranger?
