I was in a fairy tale mood.

Anyways, I do not own Naruto.

Sleeping Sasuke

She had to be there soon. Failure was not an option for the Uchiha Kingdom's best knight, Lady Sakura Haruno. After killing the evil snake fae Orochimaru, Sakura galloped as fast as she could on her noble horse Katsuyu so she could make it just in time to the Uchiha's castle.

The entire kingdom was put to sleep by the wise wizard Kakashi Hatake, that way there would be no chaos if word got out that the heir of the throne was 'dead.'

When Sakura arrived inside the castle gates, she quickly gets off of Katsuyu and climbs the stairs to the highest tower in the castle. After climbing over 70 steps, Sakura pauses and takes a deep breath before quietly opening the chamber, and is greeted with the sight of Kakashi in his grey robe covering half of his face and matching hat standing guard with his long staff in hand. And there was Sasuke, looking so heartbreakingly lovely in slumber.

Realizing that she had to give true love's kiss in order for him to wake up, Sakura feels her face heating up at the thought of giving her first kiss to the only person she ever loved.

"Um…Lord Kakashi can you please not look, I'm very nervous." She pleaded.

Amused, he simply turns away and gives the knight and prince their privacy.

She kneels on his right side, and tucks a raven lock behind his ear. Oh dear God, why was this so hard for her? Defeating the most powerful fae was nothing compared to what she was about to do now, she wasn't even sure if her feelings were mutual, despite being childhood friends.

'But Kakashi did say no one else was fit to do this.' Her mind reasoned with her doubts.

Taking a deep breath, she leans down until her lips are a centimeter away from his. "Please wake up Sasuke-kun." She whispers and then rests her lips on his until she felt him stir. Alarmed and happy at seeing him awake, she feels tears stream down her cheeks as she sees him sit up on the bed while rubbing his forehead.

It took Prince Sasuke a couple minutes to realize where he was.

'That's right…I was dueling with Naruto, and then I had my classes with Kakashi, and then…OROCHIMARU!' Thinking about that wretched fae was making his blood boil. If only he had his guard up, then he wouldn't have been caught in his spell!

"Sasuke-kun" He turns his head to see Sakura in a long full sleeved maroon toga adorned with heavy armor and a long sword on her side.

"Sakura…" he gently strokes the tear away that was about to fall.

"E-everything's *hiccup* okay S-sasuke-kun, I killed O-orochimaru, of course not without Kakashi's aid since I have no magical abilities-"

She was instantly silenced with Sasuke's lips on hers. Unfortunately the kiss didn't last more than 30 seconds but when he let go, she could see the look of gratitude in his eyes.

"Sakura…thank you." He tells her seriously.

"Well now that you're awake Sasuke, it's time to wake everyone in the kingdom up as well." Kakashi's staff emitted very bright white light for a long time. Once it dimmed, the entire kingdom was awake.

"You should head to the throne room, I'm sure your parents will start to worry."Kakashi added on, he didn't want to deal with a worried Queen Mikoto.

Sasuke gives a glance to Kakashi telling him to give them privacy. With a nod back, the wizard disappears in a puff of smoke.

He stood from the bed and opened a cabinet that was on the other side of the room. He took out a bottle of magical healing ointment. He sat down next to her and gently applied some on the the deep cut that was on her cheek with his thumb.

Sakura, on the other hand was blushing at his sweet gesture. She gasped when she realized that the cut had disappeared.

"Sakura about us, just know that no matter what, I won't let them separate us." He promises her and then kissed her on the forehead.

Overwhelmed with happiness, she peppers soft kisses all over his face.

"I love you Sasuke-kun."

Sighing with deep content, he lifts her chin up and connects his mouth to her's.

I hope you all enjoyed our brave knight and fair prince ;)
