The Princess and the Rogue – His and her fairytale

Chapter 1

Once upon a time, in the faraway land named Konoha, lived a king and queen. One joyous day, the queen gave birth to a beautiful daughter with crimson eyes. They named her Kurenai.

On the day of her naming ceremony, a soothsayer was invited. (Many generations back, King Shikamaru the first considered the fairies too troublesome since they always got angry and cursed the child whenever they forgot to invite one of them and so he banished them.) The soothsayer made a prophecy and from that day on, Princess Kurenai's life was completely changed.

The king ordered that a large one hundred foot wall circle a forest far from the castle. Briars were planted right by the wall and with the help of his wizard ninjas, they grew so thick and tall that they covered the whole wall. Princess Kurenai was then placed in this enclosure along with her nursemaid, Tsunade, never to see the outside world again until her parents – who were unknown to the Princess as she was a couple days old – decided that it was the appropriate time.
