Chapter 1

Hey, I'm Hinata Hygua, 16 and let's just say that I had lost my respect and status in Konoho Kingdom. My Clan of 13 members was the greatest in 12 years straight because we had won the annual battle but this year it was won by The Uchiha Clan.

Since my family's defeat, we had to for the Uchihas' we were split up but luckily I was placed with Aunt and cousin Neji and worked for the highest Uchiha family. It was ironic in a way because my Uncle, Aunty, Neji and I were the highest Hygua family. It was suppose to be me and my Mother and Father but my Uncle killed him but hat's another story. My castle which was the second hugest castle in Konoha Kingdom (Queen Tsunade and King Jiryah had the largest) was now The Uchiha's and the same thing happened to my cousins.

"Hurry up before he gets really angry" Anko rubbing in dough referring he to Misisto Uchiha Sr. I sighed.

"When isn't angry" I said under my breath.

"Heard that" Anko called back. She was in charge in of the Kitchen staff which was the lowest well not really, there was the cleaning staff but that was apart of the Kitchen's duty and Anko had a lot of curves with short dark purple hair in a ponytail. I lifted the heavy tray of grapes. It was still a mystery to me as to why all the 106 trays were so heavy.

"You're suppose to" I said flicking my grey hair over my shoulder and went up the servants' staircase. I had never gotten used to using the stair case. I t was desperately in need of repair. I saw Neji walking with his head down with his long brown hair falling down and his cheap looking clothes, but something was in his hand.

"Hey Neji what's that?" I asked I gleefully reached out to look at what he was hiding.

"Mind your own business Hinata" Neji snapped and blocked my hand. I still don't know what he does when he blocks, it always hurt. I rubbed my arm. Realizing what he had done, "Sorry but he's waiting you should hurry up"

I continued walking on the corridor with my heel less shoes clapping on the glistering glass titled floor and the huge glass walls just starring at e but I just ignored them. It was like they were laughing at me, I really didn't used to treat the windows nicely. I finally reached the 2 huge gold carved doors. I used my hip and push open them where the soft fluffy purple carpet stretching toward the far end of the room to Uchiha Sr's large chair...My Uncle's chair, I just hope that he doesn't warm it up nor fart the living lights on it. He was sleeping and surrounded by people with large feather fans and 2 men playing the harp. I walked on the tilted floor and not on the carpet towards him. I gracefully placed the tray of grapes on the table in front of him and bowed then quickly got up and trned around. I did that so swiftly and bounced into…

"Oh, I'm sorry your Highness" I whispered not wanting to wake the lord, after he let loosen his grip on my hand in not wanting to me fall.

"Its okay" he said and paused, "You don't have to call me Your Highness"

I smiled and looked up to him since he was really taller than I am, "I should call you Sasuke" I whispered again

"That is my name"

No one said anything for awhile.

"You can let go now" I said looking my hand. He smirked at me.

"Unfortunately" he whispered almost in audible and his soft pale hand slowly removed from mine and he ran it into his raven coloured hair. I turned my back and excited the room before Sasuke could have had said anything else.

I was in the Kitchen, it wasn't the best place to be. T was the lowest floor of the castle, it was roomy with several long and narrow wooden tables, 4 long counter tops drilled onto the Kitchen walls with a sink on each. There was the storage room with extra food and large pans and stuff filled with wheat and beans.

"Hinata could you please go to the market and get 4 loaves of bread, 3 bags of beans and try to order the bottle of water, if you can if you can't and then clean up the Ball Room, if you don't mind, just clean up the Ball Room first" Anko said.

I looked around and stared at the other ladies, "Why can't someone else do it" I asked seriously.

"Look here Princess, you're here to work, and there's no escape to that so go to the back and get your cleaning stuff and start on your job" Anko said pointing to the back door. I rolled my eyes and walked to the door and went to stable where the mop and other stuff were kept.

"Hey Your Highness" Kiba said walking in front of me smiling from ear to ear revealing his dog like teeth. I smiled and walked around for awhile patting each horse. Kiba Inzuka was the stable boy, he enjoyed his work so much, you could see his brown spiky hair and sometimes mistake it for a horse's mane.

"Hi Kiba"

"What is the most beautiful Highness is about?"

"Going to clean up the Ball Room and then to the market"

"Ouch the Ball Room already feeling ya' pain"

"Thanks for your sincerity, I'm heading to the market later, want anything?"

"Nah, I'm alright"

I went to get the supplies I needed for the man eating job as I felt Kiba's eyes on me. "What do you want Kiba?" I asked.

"Nothing Your Highness"

"Yeah sure" I said and brush pass him on my way out.

The Ball Room was scouring of servants loading dishes into trays…heavy sliver trays, some moping and sweeping and etc. but I just stood there.

"Ughh Kiba what are you doing here?" I asked at the market. The market was the only market in Konoha. It was always busy and fun to hang out (ironic to the 1 near my place) the fresh smell on freshly baked loaves, fresh fruits, and the fish were in a container so the smell was trapped inside and sell of Pitter Beans mixed with the freshly grounded Apple peas and peanuts.

"The sun is really hot, I really don't mind you coming under my umbrella" he said holding the brown umbrella.

"Unlike you, I don't have any time to waste, Anko is on my case more and more" I complained while inspecting a loaf of bread and placed in my straw weaves basket, "Today is one of the 'Today I' totally booked out' day" I said giving the man 3 copper coins. "Remember that?"

"Ok but I still don't see how offering shade from terrible heat waves is wasting time" Kiba said. I turned to face Kiba looking so ridiculous with the umbrella.

"I'm under a tent Kiba" I said and turned to walk away. "See you at the castle" I turned my head and called back

"As` a matter of fact, I am on my way to the castle but I need to pick up so hay" he said and I turned around, "want to bounce with me?"

"Yeah sure Kiba, the hole barn is filled with hay to feed the hole Kingdom"

"Trust e we need ha-"

Kiba stopped abruptly and stared forward. I turned to look in his direction but I didn't see anyone who would get on his nerves like that.

"What is he doing here?" he said in great annoyance.

"Who?"

"Hinata"

I turned around and came face to face with Sasuke Uchiha. "Don't you have swords to play with Sauce gay?" Kiba burst in.

Sasuke glared at him, "Is that how you address the grandson of the Head of the royal family and the lord of Knights?" he asked, "Stable boy"

"N-"

"Yes Your honour, what is it I may help you with" I said cutting off Kiba so that he wouldn't make a scene and that he wouldn't spend the rest of his life in a prison cell until the Hygua Clan reign.

Sasuke took the basket from me and shove it to Kiba's chest but Kiba didn't hold it immediately.

"I over heard that you were on your way to the castle, so it wouldn't be a bother to you if you carried this for Ms. Hygua. Good" Sasuke said and he miserably walked off.

"Why am I thinking that me bumping into you the 5th time isn't by accident" I said.

He smiled at me and pulled my hand gently, "Follow me" he ordered but in calm order. Reluctantly I followed because I wouldn't want to spend my time in a prison cell until the reign of the Hygua Clan. H e took me into a daisy field. Beautiful.

He swiftly threw out his sword, flipped it and caught it in mid air. I smiled as he smirked at me.

"Is that suppose to impress me?" I asked but remembered to keep my place. Instead of shouting and giving me 'Do you know who I am lectures' and the 'Have you not seen what I have done to the greatest Clan?" he just released one of those breath taking and melting smirks.

He threw he sword, caught it, spun and did the Collide and ended with the Stones stance with his left foot in front straight out and his right foot behind bent, sword in front of his face in right hand over his head and left hand stretched out and a daisy in his mouth. "Yes" he answered my question.

I let out a small chuckle, "Your left hand is not straight enough, if I were to coe behind you and attack you just by shifting your foot or kicking you; you would dies just by tripping and then the person you're fighting and I would kill you.

He stood up properly and smirked at me again took the flower from his mouth and gave it to me. "A wise man seeks corrections so does a good warrior" Sasuke said aand handed the sword to me.

I took the sword, "What's this for?"

"Are you afraid to fence with me?"

"Its just simple fencing right?" I asked looking around and then at the sword.

"Pure innocence"

"But feels heavy-real" The truth was that I haven't held a sword in along time-months. I secretly practice but with a broom stick and Kiba would sometimes play along but I knew how a sword felt.

"It is, I always carry it with me" he said and slid out another one but it looked weaker than the one I had, "but to make it fair for both of us, I shall use the toddlers'"

"I think that's cheating, giving the better swords man the real sword"

"You t-"

I attacked before he finished his sentence but he was quick enough to block it so I continued but he kept on blocking but then he ducked and swept his sword at my feet but I jumped and elbowed his neck. He moved sending me on the floor but I jumped up and stroke a Stones Stance. He chuckled.

"I see" Sasuke said looking at me and swung his sword at me but I blocked him and used my sword to push his. He lift his weapon and I send mine into his.

"I'm so sorry" I said dropping the sword on the ground. His fake weapon was sliced in two. "I know that you use the both for defense"

"Its ok, but what a blow, I imagine if that was my head"

"No, I would be more careful, but maybe in some months time it might just be"

Sasuke took up the sword, flipped it and slid it in its original case. "Not bad for a las. Where are you going?"

"I have to go" I said looking up in the clouds.

"Come on"

"Bye Sir"

Yeah that's it, Its about time I typed this story. Oh FYI There is such thing as Stones stance..well at least I don't think there's anything and same for Collide.
