Sasuke watched with bored eyes as Shisui walked around in a never ending circle, with a worried look on his face. His black dragon scale that went from his eyes to his ears, they were shining when the sun hit them. Anyone could tell that he was panicking.
He turned his black eyes to his great uncle, Madara and a frown on his face, his eyes were red, and he admitted a growl every once in a while. He had more dragon blood in him then the rest, which was why he had a tail and wings. He could easily break one's rib cage with a hard hit from his tail alone.
Izuna's clawed hands were crossed over his chest, smoke was coming from his nose. His eyes hard, as he looked down at the Uchiha knights, they were kneeling before them. They had just told what had happened on the battlefield, how Sakura had bravely fought the enemy while letting them escapes alive.
His father looked angrier than anything really, his mother who stood right beside him looked ready to cry, they had hoped to see Sakura as the next queen.
He lastly turned to his elder brother. Had Sasuke been anyone else, he would have said that he didn't care. Sasuke, however, knew his brother better than most and could see the way his eyes narrowed and he sat up a bit straighter. Itachi-nee's already hard face became even harder.
"It is really so bad? I mean Sakura is female so they can't kill her… So why not use this time where she is among our enemies to spy on them?" Sasuke finally voiced his thoughts on the matter, in a dull voice. Sasuke waited for his words sink in, he felt pleased when the anger in the room went down a bit.
"Are you sure, you just don't want her out of the way, Sasuke?" Shisui seared his name out. It was no secret that Sasuke believed that Sakura didn't belong here, among the royal family. As far as he was concerned Sakura was useless, and he didn't understand why the others cared for her. That was only partly true, Sasuke believed that Sakura shouldn't be around them, but she was actually useful.
Much to his and most likely anyone else surprise, it was Itachi that stood up and slammed him into his cold stone chair. His grip was so tight that Sasuke had problems breathing. He watched as Itachi narrowed his now red eyes and the grip tightens even more.
"Sakura belongs to me and what happens to her is up to me" He hissed baring his fangs and smoke was coming out of his mouth. Sasuke was slowly turning blue and nodded, Itachi watched him through red eyes and finally let him go. Sasuke went to the floor, coughing while trying to catch his breath once more.
Itachi simply stood above him looking down at him with disapproving eyes and hissing once more, before turning around facing his parents. He was not going to become king without Sakura by his side, and after informing his family, Itachi left Shisui hot on his heel.
"Ahaha I have waited for this day for so long," Shisui said while falling into step beside him. He didn't comment on the fact, that Itachi had reacted like an Uchiha whose mate was just treated. If he didn't love Itachi as much as he did, Shisui would have acted on his feelings for the pink feline. Instead, Shisui would do anything to protect them both, as their best friend and keep his feelings deep inside.
As the blond fox was making his way towards the little feline he ran into the Hyuga. She looked up at him and offered a soft smile, asking him where he was going in such a hurry.
"Well Hinata, I'm going down to see how the feline is doing!" He said in a happy voice, his tails was moving from side to side in excitement. The fairy before him gave a small frown looking at him.
"Why are you going out of your way to see some dark creature?" she quietly asked him, the words had only just left her mouth. His eyes turned red and a treating growl left him, she was overstepping her bounties and they both knew it.
"Don't forget that I too belong to the dark creatures" He snapped walking right past her, he would probably apologize to her later. He walked right past the guards, he gave them a smile and a nod before walking down towards her cell.
"Aren't you a bit far down kit?" he snapped his head toward the cell, inside sat Sasori his red hair was getting into his eyes. He looked bored as always, he slowly turned his blue eyes over to Sasori's cellmate who was laughing. Their eyes met and Deidara gave a sinners smile, had Naruto been a lesser being, it would have sent a shiver down his spine. Naruto, however, was the Kyuubi, and simply shook his head before he walked past them.
When he finally saw her, he forgot how to breathe for a second. There she was most likely meditating, her magic was going in a slow flow around her, in a green color. He just stood there watching her, she looked so amazing.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare?" She asked turning around to face him, sky blue crashed with jade green. It felt like lighting went through him, and at the very instant, he blushed.
"I-I well, I-I" He hit his head against the cold metal bars, he was making a fool of himself. This was the worsted, she gave a soft laugh and it did funny things to his inside.
"Might want to come back when you know what to say" her voice was soft, kind and it felt like home. It made him wants to break the bars and hold her close. If he didn't know any better he might think she was a siren instead.
"Are you sure you're a cat?" He asked jokingly, his face still felt hot. What he didn't expect, was for her to freeze up and look at him in shock. He watched her very closely now, as she laughs awkwardly and clearly looked uncomfortable now. She was hiding something, and he would figure it out.
Just as he was about to ask, Kakashi came down. To tell him that both he and Sakura were both need in the courtroom. They would question her now, and her future would have depended on her answers.
