Hi everyone! I'm Sakura Ai. This is my first attempt in writing a Naruto Fanfiction. I'm more of a sailor moon gal. BUT i just fell in love with Sasuke and Sakura so here goes. This fanfic is like a cross of Anastasia, sailor moon and of Naruto. You'll see why. Hope you like….

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Maybe just Sakura's parents since I made up their names LOL. On With the Show….

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Ready! Get set! GO!" yelled a young girl of eight years old with strawberry short hair as she began the game.

"Ready or not, here I come!!!" she continued yelling while she started to look all over the gardens eventually going in deeper. She could feel her victims begin to get nervous as she passed by a certain rose bush. Rolling her eyes she hid her chakra and began to sneakily go towards the bush where, by now, they're could be heard "shh"ing sounds. Smiling she leaned over the bush and yelled at the top of her lungs!!!

"FOUND YA!!!"

"AAHHH!!!" screamed three little girls while holding on to one another for dear life. Laughter was what brought them out of their scare as their eyes were sighted with the little pink haired girl on the ground holding her stomach while laughing.

"Sa-ku-ra!" the little blond hair yelled. "That wasn't funny!! You scared us!" she yelled while looking at the other two girls. Sakura then stopped her laughter.

"Oh c'mon Ino, don't get angry, I was just having a little fun since you girls make it so obvious where are hiding." She giggled. "Next time when you hide, hide your chakra s well. Hehe. What's the point of playing hide and seek is I can still feel you?" She said while getting up from the ground and wiping away some tears that had rolled down from laughing too much.

"Yea whatever it still wasn't very nice of you Princess" Ino looked at her trying to fake as if she were upset. Sakura knew she wasn't but still.

"Oh Ok, I'm sorry. There! Am I forgiven?" she displayed the puppy eyes which she knew they couldn't resist and was answered by low groans from the three girls as responds. Sakura smiled knowing that she was.

"Yay! I'm forgiven!! So girls, what other game can we play?" she asked eager to continue with more fun. She rarely had fun, if it weren't for her guardian, Ino, Hinata, and Tenten, she wouldn't gone crazy by now. Being the Princess of Inuk, this just happened to be the main country that was responsible for order in the entire world. Sakura's father, King Mamoru, was a strict man, especially when it came to his only daughter. He was a man of action and negotiations, always looking out for the well of his people. Sometimes Sakura thought that he acted too much like a king than a father. King Mamoru seriously takes Sakura's training to the extreme, which she doesn't really understand why. He says that it's her destiny but to an eight year old girl, it goes in through one ear and out the other. I guess I should mention now that me and my girls posses powers that no one else has. Let me break it down for you, Ino has to power over the element of fire, Tenten has the power over earth and Hinata has the power over the element water, which includes the weather. Me, I'm cursed I guess, at least that's what I think, I can control all three including wind. So you see I feel as if I'm cursed. Oh well, anyways back to the king. Yea Sakura thinks he's too strict at times but she still loves him!

"Princess, we need to train remember, that is why we're out here in the first place" Tenten stated. I hate it when she does that.

"But I don't want to train…its SOOO boring!" Sakura whined while stomping her foot.

"Oh don't be such a baby, Princess!" Ino teased while laughing. Sakura glared at her.

"I am not being a baby! And I already told you not to call me princess!" Sakura hated being called princess by her guardians, she felt as if they were her friends by force and not by choice, but deep down she knew that her guardians only called her that out of custom.

"Rain's coming" the blue haired Hinata informed. All eyes landed on her.

"Wha?" the three girls looked at her as if she had just grown an extra head.

"That…was just out of the blue" Tenten replied making the blue headed girl blush. But then, just as she predicted, the rain came.

"Ah! Hurry Princess or your gonna get soaked" Tenten squeaked while grabbing her and leading her back into the palace, while the other girls followed in a hurry.

Once back inside, each girl dried off and went toward the kitchen to fill their stomach of with fuel, also known as food.

"Damn, I'm so hungry I can eat a whole hippo" Sakura said while waiting for lunch to be served. "SAKURA!" All eyes turned towards the opened doors to the dining table as they saw none other but the Queen herself. Queen Kira was a beautiful woman; actually she is considered one of the most beautiful women you would ever see in the whole world. Sakura's face paled as soon as she saw her mother. 'Oh no' she thought.

"Where on earth did you, a mere child of eight, hear such a word?" she continued looking at her daughter while taking a few steps into the dining room with a shocked look on her face.

"Damn" all eyes turned to look at the new guest that had come into the dining room as well. All eyes widen when they noticed that it was the King himself. Let's just say that the Queen didn't look one bit happy. Suddenly the King stopped himself as he looked up just in time to notice that he was going to bump into his wife, who at first, didn't get the look on her face until he saw her angry eyes. 'Uh oh' was all he thought.

"What?" he asked hoping that wouldn't get her more upset than she already looked.

"Ugh! Never mind! I just found the source" the Queen stated confusing the King even more. Four girls could be heard snickering in the background while Sakura softly sang "Someone's in trouble." One stern look from the Queen was enough to shut Sakura up.

"Whose in trouble?" asked the King puzzled.

"Oh nobody, just you dear." Kira replied looking at him sweetly.

"Me? What did I do?" now he was really confused.

"Oh again nothing, All your doing is teaching our daughter that it is ok for her to use such slander language but I, my dear husband, do not want our daughter with such vocabulary, DO YOU HEAR ME!!!!" she yelled, making her point crystal clear. The King had no other option but to take a step back replying "yes dear."

The Queen smiled. "Good, now Sakura, as your punishment you are to stay in your room without lunch for saying such a word" She said turning to face her daughter which by now had a shocked look on her face which slowly was changing to anger.

"WHAT! Hey not fair mother! I'm hungry!" she cried.

"Well you should have thought about that before your mouth. Now go!" She said pointing to the door.

"Kira let her have her lun…" two angry pair of eyes looked at him as if they were ready to kill. "Uhhh…I mean…sorry baby, listen to your mother" and with that he was gone. With him gone, Kira turned her gaze back at her daughter. "Well young lady? Go"

With an angry 'humph' the princess walked out of the dining room with her guardians on her trail. Kira sighed. She hated punishing her daughter but like she said, no daughter of her will have such a vocabulary, especially if she has such an important role in the future.

Meanwhile…………..

Once Sakura and the girls reached the room, Sakura went straight to her bed, grabbed a pillow, hold it it up to her face and screamed as loud as she could.

"How can she be so mean? It was just one word!!! Daddy always says it!" she tried reasoning with herself. She then turned to her guardians as if looking for an answer; they all but gave her sympathetic smiles. Finally Tenten spoke up.

"Princess, maybe she is just going through some pressure, who knows, Mothers will be mothers, don't worry too much about it" she finished saying while sitting in the chair closest to the door.

"Yea, just relax" added Ino who walked up to the balcony doors and opened them so that the wonderful smell of the rain could fill the room and when it reached the Princess's nose, only then did she relax not bothering to argue back. Sakura walked over to where Hinata had settled herself, which happened to be on her bed, and fell on it.

Everything was quiet. No one made a sound. They just listened to the sound of the rain. They listened to the story it told as it fell.

"I love this smell" Sakura stated breaking the silence.

"Yea" came the response of the three girls.

"You know, I was just wondering, but do you all want to sing?" Sakura asked hoping they would. Everyone knew that she could influence people while she sang. It was like a power, a gift she was bestowed with. And boy, did she have the most beautiful angelic voice ever. All three girls smiled in agreement. They all knew that when Princess Sakura sang, whatever she was feeling at the moment, whoever heard her sing, would feel it too. If she cried while singing, her audience will cry as well.

"Great! What song shall I sing? Any suggestions?"

"Which ever one you want princess…" Hinata smiled sweetly.

Sakura smiled brightly. "Ok I got one" Slowly she stood up from the bed and began to hum a lovely melody and right before she was going to start, a knock on the door interrupted her.

"Come In" Sakura replied a bit disappointed. The door cracked open to see her father walk in through the doors with a tray filled with ham sandwiches. All the girls' eyes lit up at the sight of food and ran towards the King. "Oh thank you daddy! Thank you" Sakura said gratefully. All four girls attacked the food and started piling the food in their mouths that the King thought they looked like cute little blow fishes. Suddenly, there was another knock on the door, but only this time it was one of her father's main general. He entered at the permission of the King and kneeled before him before standing.

"Your Majesty, we seem to have a problem in the throne room." He said softly. Worry was clearly seen on his face.

"What seems to be the problem?" asked the King. Hesitant the general answered.

"It's Orochimaru"

Sakura felt her father tense up at the name. 'I wonder what's an Orochi…uh Orocha…whatever that name was…I wonder what it is.' She thought.

"I'll be there in a minute" was all the King replied as he dismissed the general out of the room. Once gone, Mamoru turned towards his daughter and hugged her tightly. Sakura was beyond confused. King Mamoru then looked at her daughter.

"Sakura, listen to me. You are to stay here in your room with your guardians. Understood?"

"b-but why?"

"Because…" he raised his voice, scaring Sakura for a moment. The king calmed himself down before continuing. "Because Sakura you need to stay here and out of sight. I don't want to see you out of this room. Remember that I don't like it when we have visitor that are not of the palace due to the fact that I don't want them to see you and the girls practicing your talents. No one knows of your talents girls. I know you know this for a fact. No one must know" he said looking at each and every one of them.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Sakura asked ready to cry. "How come you're acting like this? Why can't the world know? What's wrong with them knowing?" She pleaded with him for a moment. The king just shook his head.

"My dear Sakura, your destiny will show itself to you. Don't you worry. I know it's hard for you girls, but you are special. You are. All of you. You all should know that by now." He told them. He then looked to Sakura once more. "Sweetheart, you have the power to control everything and anything. Just remember that, ok?" Sakura couldn't help but nod. She knew he wasn't going to tell anymore and she was already confused beyond reason.

With that, the King stepped out of his daughters' room to deal with the situation at hand.

Sakura couldn't hold it in anymore. She started to cry.
"No princess, please don't cry. We don't get it either." Tenten said while wrapping her in a hug followed by Hinata hugging them both and finishing with Ino hugging all three. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever until they finally broke apart.

"Thanks" she told them with a warm smile.

"No problem" they smiled.

"Anyways, princess, do you still want to sing?" asked Ino who was willing to get her mind of the topic at hand.

Sakura thought for a moment until she realized what she really wanted to do. "No I don't, I want to do something else right now" she stated.

"What?" asked Tenten.

Sakura smiled wickedly. "Spy" and with that she was off.
