Chapter Two

This is going to have Sasuke and Naruto in the Uchiha castle in Konaha, which is where Ino, Sakura, and Ino live. Hinata lives in the Hyuuga castle in the Sound Village. (I chose that place at random) I'll have Hinata in the next chapter after this. Plz read and review! I want to hear what you guys think!

"Master Sasuke, it is time to wake up, I have your breakfast."

Sasuke grunted and rolled over in his huge bed to face his servant, Charles. "Alright, I'm getting up." He sighed and took the tray of his favorite omelet and fresh orange juice from the orchard outside, both in gold platters.

"Good day, Master Sasuke." Charles said, bowing as he left.

After he finished eating and put on his royal gown, Sasuke stared at himself in the mirror. His hair was long and reached his shoulders, but it was so thick and frizzy, he hated it so much. His parents insisted that he have chicken fat put in it so it would stick down straight like his brother Itachi's, which he thought was stupid, he wanted it cut short. His dark eyes looked mysterious, so that, with his hair (which everyone else seemed to like) and his lean, muscular form, made him the guy all the girls wanted to chase after.

He didn't really want to be a prince. He had no freedom! His parents decided everything for him, and even when he became king, he would never have the time to enjoy his freedom!

"Hey Sasuke!" His best, and really only friend, Naruto came running into his room. He was the only one who liked Sasuke for who he was, not because he was the prince. "Your parents wanna talk to you!"

"You're a horrible messenger, you know that?" Sasuke laughed.

"Fine," Naruto chuckled "I'll be more serious!" He stood up straight and put on a blank face. "Master Sasuke, your father and mother, the King and Queen, request that you come and speak with them."

Sasuke doubled over, laughing at the blonde's voice. "Alright, alright, I'm coming."

Naruto followed Sasuke down the hall and into the foyer, where the King and Queen spent all their time, planning attacks and laws.

"Good morning, Father, Mother." Sasuke said, bowing to both of them. They acknowledged him with a nod, but neither looked up from the parchment they were reading. Finally they glanced up at him. His mother stood up from her throne and walked over to Sasuke. She fiddled around with his hair and adjusted his clothes as usual. When she was satisfied she went back to her throne next to the King.

"Morning, Sasuke!" The Queen said cheerily.

"Lilia," The King said sternly, "we need to be serious about this. This is a very important matter!"

"Yes, I know Takaku." She sighed. (I randomly decided their names.)

"Look, son. I'll just make this short. You are 21 years old, when you become 22 next week, you will have become of age to take the throne, right?"

"Yes." Said Sasuke warily. He had a feeling he knew where this was going.

"This," Takaku said, holding up the parchment, "is a letter from the King and Queen of the Sound Village. They said that their daughter, Hinata, is of age to be married. You must find someone to marry by your coronation to be your queen, or you will be pasted over, and Itachi will assume role of the king when he becomes of age. (In this fic Itachi is younger, 19 years old) There is your coronation ball in three days, if you do not find a woman at your ball that you would consider marrying, or someone by the coronation, you will marry Hinata Hyuuga."

Sasuke's mouth dropped open, no sound coming out. Passed over? I have one week to find someone? Coronation ball?? I'll have to…MARRY her??

He had met Hinata, she was pretty, but she was so quiet and boring to him.

"I-i…I need to think." Sasuke whispered softly, staring at his feet. Before Takaku or Lilia could say anything, Sasuke ran from the room, not noticing Naruto's look of total shock as Sasuke passed him. (He was spying and heard the whole thing) He burst though the huge door that lead out into the forest, his favorite place to go. He ran and ran and just kept going, anything to escape the torrent of thoughts whirling in his head.

Ok PLZ don't kill me for the S/H thing, they will NOT be together so don't worry. I realize that there wasn't a lot of stuff with Naruto in there, but I'll try to have more of him, Ino, and Shikamaru in some of the next chapters. That was kinda short but I'll try to make them longer. Hope you liked it! I might not update for awhile since school is tomorrow, but I will as soon as possible! Plz R&R!!!
