His slave
Chapter 2
Failed

Sakura galloped in full speed out of the dark forest. She made a full braking and turned her horse around. Behind the dark trees, she could see orange light. It was burning. She sighed and felt another tear trickled down her cheek. 'Hate is a powerfull weapon' powerfull enough to tear down a whole castle? Obviously yes. Her kingdom was burning and God did it hurt her to see it. She never thought it would hurt her this much to see stone and earth burn.

Suddenly, she heard a small noice next to her and her heart stopped. What was that? Then she heard noises from everywhere out of the forest and one second later, he animals of the forest stormed towards her. Rabbits, deer, foxes, birts, they all came dashing towards her and she almost screamed, but she could stop herself. And then she heard another noise, and her blood ran cold. It was a horse, it were many horses storming towards her through the thick forest. "Oh no" she whispered and gave Artemis a hard kick into the sides and her reliable horse jumped forward.

Just seconds later, six other horses dashed out off the woods and towards Sakura. They were separating around her, trying to block her way, but she could always manage to find a way out of the walls of horses and black soldiers. It was very tricky, because soon, the ground became uneven, and she needed to slow down the full speed. That was the problem here. The hills. The hills behind the forest gave Konoha great protection from other enemies, but it was also one of the unwisest ways to escape, because a horse had a hard time to put a leg before the other and soon, she was encircled.

Artemis tryed to find a way through the steep mountain paths and Sakura assumed that the riders behind her had the same problem. Sakuras heart was beating so fast, she thought it would jump out of her chest. She felt such a great fear she couldn't think, she couldn't feel, she couldn't see. Her whole being was blinded by so much fear, she was unable to breath properly. She knew her feelings, her nervousness transferred onto Artemis and her horse was getting scared too. Soon enough, Arteis started to neigh and to try wildly to put her legs somewhere she could psuh herself farther upwards to escape the nearing danger behind them.

Sakura tried to calm her horse, but it was in vain. She knew she couldn't even calm a bug in this situation! So, she just trusted Artemis to get her out of this. But, again, fate wasn't on her side. Soon the soldiers were behind her, just a few feet away. She always turned around and gave more rein so Artemis could see the ground better, but all her attempts to flee were useless. And now, she had the problem, that the narrow mountain path was getting wider. Yes, fate definetly wasn't on her side today! But the path getting wider, was also her chance. She knew Artemis was one of the fastest horses, her kingdom had, but God did she knew how fast the horses of the soldiers were. But, at least a try wouldn't hurt her as much as the soldiers when they would get her!

Artemis, who could set her legs now right, without her sign she increased the tempo. Her orse was getting faster and faster, but Sakura was too scared to look back. She didn't wanted to see the soldiers, approaching her faster and faster. It was in vain. Sakura was trapped. From despair, she started crying and almost screamed. No, damn it, she was the princess and she wouldn't cry in front of her enemies. They wouldn't win! They couldn't win!

But suddenly, Sakura reached the impasse, every man in Konoha feared. It was the 'Valley of the end'. Over 20.000 men lost their life in this unholy place during the big war against Madara and that was the moment, Sakura knew, she had failed as the princess of Konoha. She knew somwhere was a small passage she could escape through, but in the darkness it was impossible to find it.

The soldiers came after her and surrounded her and she noticed, they held torches high up into the air, so they could see enough. "Done with running away?" one of them asked in a mocking voice and Sakura gritted her teeth. She just turned her head away. She knew this was the sign for the soldiers, that she was giving up. But she would only give up for a short time. Maybe the best idea to survive this, was the way through the backdoor. And the way through the backdoor was playing dirty.

"Okay, chain her and we ride back. I don't think Sasuke would like us to miss the winning ceremony". Sakuras heart stopped. Winning? Why winning ceremony? Did they already killed her father? So she just tried a jump into the cold water "Is the king dead?" she asked in a cold voice, trying not to let through something of her nervousness. "No, but I tink this will change in a few hours". Sakura gritted her teeth "Wy?" she hissed silently and the soldiers laughed. One of them rode towards her, she could see chains in his hand. "Konoha owns us something. And the king, my dear, will be dead soon, so our king can take over. Give me your hands or I will use force" he said warningly.

Sakura wanted to give him a sharp reply, but she bit her tounge. Probably it wasn't such a good idea to provoke this soldier. He looked so scary. He wore his black armor with such a pride, she never saw by someone else. Sakura didn't knew what to do! She tried to think of a way to escape this situation, but she had no idea. If she could only see that damn path, then she could escape, but maybe she could turn the soldier and his horse, so she could take a look around without them notice it. She moved her right heel softly against the side of Artemis and the horse reacted lke Sakura had teached her to do it. She turned to the right side with her hind leges, pressing the horse of the soldier next to her also to the right.

He looked at her with skepsis in his eyes, but he thought it was just her horse. Just as she wanted it. It worked, She could slowly look around without him noticing it, while she pressed her horse farther to the right side. Sakura thought it would work, she could see the stone walls clearly, but then he grabbed her left wrist so hard, she almost let go of the rein.
"Enough! You will come with us if you want it or not!". Sakura tried to struggle and to pry her hand out of his grasp, but he was far too strong and suddenly she heard a loud 'click' and then, she felt cold metall around her wrist. He had chained her wrist! That bastard! He pulled on the chain and she was almost thrown off of her horse, but she could hold herself up. And then the other chain was fastened and she was cuffed. The soldier pulled the rein out off her hands and threw it over Artemis neck, so he could led the horse, without Sakura could do something.


She couldn't recognize her green, beautiful kingdom. It was burned down to the ground. The tree leaves were black, it was smelling strong of fire and blood. And death. She could see so many soldier in silver armors and she knew they were dead. Her fiends? What about her friends, the maids, the cooks? Her father? The soldier pulled her horse through the huge entrance of the castle. The inner yard was red. Completely red. All drenched in blood. 'Hate is a powerfull weapon' she thought while trying to suppress her tears. God, what did they do to the inhabitants of the village? Did they slaughter them?

The soldiers stopped and got down from their horses. Without her hands, it was hard for Sakura to come down, but the soldier just grabbed her waist and lifted her from her saddle. She was lucky no one of them recognized her as the princess, so the chance of survivig was rising with every the minute.

But the hope of getting out of the castle once again, and alive, was practically blown away like scraps of paper, because as soon as she they entered the castle, she saw the maids kneeling in front of the soldiers, they were holding swords against their necks. Next came the male servants, they were already chained and one after another was brought down into the prison. And it was cpmletely out of her reach, when a young boy whispered "Princess...".

She almost ran into the back of the soldier in front of her and he turned around. He looked at her for a long moment, studied her from head to toe. Her long curled hair that reached down to her waist, her green eyes and the flawless skin, smeared with sweat and mud. Her black coat covered her body, but he assumed she was a lean woman, thin without delicious curves. And then he started to laugh and his men also "Ha! So, we've got the jackpot, eh, men? The princess? Never thought she could put up a fight like she did. Excuse me, your highness, for my rude behaviour".

Sakura gritted her teeth and turned her head away. She was ashamed because she knew he was mocking her. She wouldn't put herself on his level and give him a reply and he grinned "Fine. We'll see what the king will say". Sakura just clenched her fists and was roughy shoved and pulled into the throne hall.

Her father knelt in the middle of the room, two swords crossed against his neck, his wrists were chained and also his feet. He looked to the ground and avoided the gazes of his followers. Sakura gasped when she saw the two men behind her father. Both of them wore the black armor. They were taller than any men she had seen in her entire life. One of them had long hair tied to a braid behind his neck, his dark eyes, almost a light black, darted through the room, observing everything what was currently going on.

The other one, was inches taller than the man next to him. An his eyes were black. His pale skin was a harsh contrast to his mindnight black hair and eyes. He had an triumphantly smirk on his lips. Those sinfull lips. When his eyes locked with hers, she immediately arched one brow and gave him her hardest glare, filled with hate and disgust and his smirk disappeared and rage flashed in his eyes.

He walked down the stairs and his hand was already on the handle of his big sword, pulling it out of the scabbard. He walked straight towards her and Sauras heart stopped. Her eyes wandered for a short moment to her father, but she noticed, he still stared to the ground, uncaring what would happen to his daughter. He was just a few steps away from her, already lifting his sword. The metall flew towards her and she saw the silver flash.

Sakura felt the sharp tip of the sword directly on her larynx and she tilted her head back when she felt it dig deeper into her throat. "And... to whom belongs this beautiful throat?" he asked. His deep voice, like silk, wrapped itself around her senses and took her captive. "My lord, this is the rincess".

To her big relief, the sword disappeared from her throat and she turned her head towards the guy who held the sword. She looked him right into the eyes. Sakura knew this was a sign of disrespect and it was normally not tolerated in the royal family. He started to smirk again "So? The old man there on the floor really did a nice job" he said while looking at her more closely.

Sakura felt disgusted by the way he was looking at her and her body. She wasn't used to such a rude man and let alone his manners. She raised a brow and stared at the man in front of her "Now you knwo me. Do I get to know you?" and the black haired man nodded. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, prince of Oto and you too". Sakura gritted her teeth and looked at her father. He was now looking at her, tears in his old eyes. He shook his head slightly.

"So, you say.." he gesticulated his soldiers to losen the chains around her wrists "You're theprincess..." she felt his hot breath on her neck, he was standing right next to her, walking around "Then...". A hand in her hair, feeling the silky curls "I want to know". His breath on her temple "Your name" he stood now in front of her. Sakura just snorted "No". He arched his brows up in surprise "What?". She shrugged her shoulders "I said no. I won't tell you my name".

Small gasps escaped the lips of the kneeling maids and servants "So, you won't tell me your name?" Sasuke asked her one more time. She pointed with a finger to her lips "If you can't understand me, then read it from my lips. I. Said. No". He was still for a few moments, when he suddenly drew his sword once more "I will kill you, princess. If you want to live, then do what I say. Tell me your name, now".

Sakura only lifted her head farther and looked at him without saying a word. Sasuke chuckled and shrugged his shoulders "So be it". He pushed his sword forward "No!" her father screamed. She could feel the sharp blade digging into her chest, right above her heart. But she didn't even flinch when the blade came towards her and he chuckled once again "I haven't seen a woman like you in my whole life". With a sharp movement upwards, he cut through the cord that held her cloak together over her chest.

The black silk flutered to the ground, revealing her white dress. Sasuke admired her thin body, the white dress fitting her form so perfect without any bumps or dents. Her small breasts were slightly pushed up and gave him a good view. So this princess wasn't too shy to play with her looks. And how proud she was!

"Bring the princess down to the jail! A maid shall take off her clothes! Let's see how long she will be able to withstand this".
