Okay..umm this idea just came to my mind because I have been watching Sofia the First with my little sister tooo many times. So if you don't like it, I really don't blam you! But still RIVEW!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto. I never will! Take the hint!
Day of the Arrival.
We arrived at the Uchiha's grand castle five days after we departed from the Haruno castle. "Sakura-hime, we have arrived." The 'driver' informed. I closed my eyes. "I see." I opened the curtained window beside me and took in the scenery. There where a lot more cherry blossoms here. I noted. I closed the curtain and leaned back on the cushioned seat.
It wasn't until a few minutes that I heard cheers and a music. A festival? I thought to myself. "They seem to be celebrating your arrival, Sakura-Hime." Oh? They seem to be a lively kingdom. "It must be important to them." I said aloud. The 'driver' nodded. " but of course, you are getting married to there second Prince." I blowed on my bangs as they kept flapping up and down with the movement to the carriage.
The carriage stopped amd the driver stepped out to open the door. "Announcing the arrival of the princess of the leaf, Princess Harouno Sakura." I took the drivers hand and stepped out of the carriage. The pure green grass blinded me a bit before I looked up to face the queen and king. "Hello, I leave myself in your hands. My king, My queen." I bowed slowly before standing straight once more. "Sakura-hime, we'll be sure to take good care of you." The Queen responded.
I took a good look at her and smiled. She had long Raven hair that was elegantly put in a bun and black soft eyes. Her pale face was smooth and had a perfect jawline as well. "I trust your words, my queen." The driver, who I now know was my fathers adviser bowed in respect as he said that.
The queen walked over to me and gently took me by the hand. "Here I'll show you to your room, you must be exhausted after a long journey. Right?" I nodded. "Yes." The queen smiled. "I'll allow you to call me Mikoto, you seem like a very nice girl. Sakura-kun." I smiled. I noticed how the King and Itachi as well my fathers adviser followed behind us.
Once we walked inside the castle the King and Itachi went their separate ways but my fathers adviser stayed and followed, for he had my luggage. "Mikoto-sama, may
I aske why I haven't seen, Prince Sasuke?" Mikoto frowned but quickly turned it into a smile. Quick, but not quick enough for me not to notice. "The second Prince, is not to come until a week. He his currently attending to some business." I nodded in understandment.
I looked around as we walked. The halls held a few pictures of the Royal family and their ancestors. I trailed behind as I noticed something. A picture of the royal family. It had the King, Mikoto, and Itachi. But as I got a better look of Itachi the picture seemed to be cut off. What?.. I looked over to Mikoto who had stopped and waited for me. The air was tense. "Sakura-kun, please don't fall behind. You don't know the castle very well yet. You may get lost." I nodded. "I apologize. It won't happen again." I walked once more behind Mikoto who was walking a little faster.
"This is your room. If you need anything the maids will come to your aid. If anything else, once The second Prince returns you can go to him. His room is just down the hall." I nodded. "Thank you." Mikoto nodded and walked away, leaving me standing in front of the large door. I walked in and smiled. It was similar to my old room, but much bigger. " you can leave the luggage there." I instructed my fathers adviser. He obliged and bowed as he left, closing the door behind him. I walked over to the inside living room and sat on one of the soft white couches.
I took my shoes of and leaned back. That was weird. Ahh, I'm so tired. My back hursts. I just can't believe that Prince isn't even here! Ugh! Wait until Sasori finds— I buried my head on one of the couch pillows. What are you saying? Have you forgotten? Sasori isn't here anymore! We got to stop depending on him! I left myself relax as I conversed telepathically with my 'other half' Oh yeah...it's weird not freaking out over the girls Sasori takes to his room and sometimes hearing the noises of there 'relationship'. It's pretty gross but funny. I mentally rolled my eyes. Weren't you the one who just two days ago was going crazy over those kind of things?
My other half flicked me off. Whatever, I'm a normal teenager. That's why I exist you know. Because you're to weak to handle your own life. I mean, who pretends to be perfect because of there mothers wishes? Now that's hilarious! I ment frowned. You're going to far.. My other half sneered. Oh come on! Look outer, I know this is a personal subject and all but I'm literally part of you. I'm at least allowed to share my opinion. Inner shook her head sadly. I don't mean to make you hate me, outer. I just think that you have to be you own person. Stop pretending! It's sad to watch you know. I ignored inner and tried cutting off our connection. I'm exhausted. I need my rest. Let's talk later. Inner shook her head but obliged, cutting off out connection.
I sighed once I had my mind to myself. She was right...I've been pretending all this time. It's tiresome... I slowly closed my eyes. I'm sleepy, maybe I should go to sleep. I finally gave into the temptation of sleep and gave myself away to the darkness on my closed eyelids.
I woke up to a knock on the door of my new room. "Princess Sakura, King Faguku and Queen Mikoto request your presence in the dinning room." I slowly got up from my place on the couch and walked over to the bathroom. "I'll there in a few minutes. Would you mind staying? I don't think I know the way over there yet." The maid behind the door nodded and waited. I quickly brushed my teeth and combed my hair. Walking over to the luggage I took out a white sundress and some black flats.
Quickly puting them on I walked over to the door and opened it. "I'm ready, shall we go?" The maid nodded. I saw admiration in her eyes as we walked forward. "Princess Sakura, may I ask what food do you prefer? The cook would like to know to satisfy your tastes." I smiled. "I'll like anything the cook cooks. Just don't put anything with peanuts. I'm not really a fan of it." The maid nodded. "Thank you." I nodded. It took Tenten minutes to get to the dinning room.
The maid stood before the entrance to the door and wished me luck before leaving. The two guards beside the dubble doors looked at me and opened the door. I let out a deep breath and prepared for the awkward diner I was sure to be having with the Uchiha's.
.:XxX:.
Mikoto, Faguku and Itachi all turned to the door. "Ah, Sakura-kun! It's nice to have you join us in dinner. Take a seat." A maid appeared behind me and lead me to the seat beside Itachi. Sitting down I quietly cleared my throat. Mikoto sensing my uncomfort turned to the maid. "Mai. Tell the kitchen maids that Sakura has arrived a d to bring the food. like always exclude The second Prince's plate. He won't be here for the next week." Like always? Does that mean Sasuke is usually never in the castle? Why are they so formal..?
I ignored my curiousness and sat patently until the Mai the maid and three others came back with four covered trays. "We will now begin the first course." Mai announced. The three maids that had already set the plates infront of the Uchiha's and myself uncovered them, exposing the fist course of our meal. "Thank you." I quietly said to the maid who just bowed and left to get the wine or juice to put in our glass cups.
"Sakura-hime, I hear you have an extraordinary talent in singing and art as well as some medic involved subjects. Correct." Faguku asked or more like stated. I nodded and set the chopsticks I had down. "Yes, though I'm not such an expert in the medic-field." I took the napkin beside my plate and lightly tapped it on the sides of my mouth. "Really? I'll tell the messager to get Tsunade to come here and test your medic skill." I smiled. "Thank you. I'll be home red to be in the presence of Tsunade-dono." Mikoto smiled and returned her attention to her plate.
I took my chopsticks and began eating my Sashimi. There was a fifteen more minutes before the maids took our plates and bought out the second course. "We will now begin the second coirse." Mai announced once again. The same routine was held as they set our plates before us and left.
I took the small spoon and took a pice of my Purin. We ate in silence once more untill I finished my desert. "Thank you for the food. I'll be going to my room now." I stood from my seat pushed in the chair and walked out.
I had a good memory so I knew the way back to my room. So when I retched the two duble doors of my room I hurriedly opened them and got in, closing the door behind me.
I sighed and went to the bathroom. It was much bigger then my bathroom back in the castle. Actually everything here was two times bigger than back at the castle, and shinier. But other then that they had a perfect copy of my room. I went to the white cabinet and took out a soft pink in white towel with my initials. Then took of my clothes and got in the huge shower.
i finished twenty minutes later and reached for my towles I had put on the hanger. Once I got them I rapped the pink once around my body and the white one around my hair. I opened the walkin closet doors that were exactly like my own back at home. I walked in and closed the door behind me. The lights in the huge closet slowly turned on as I stepped in. To my side there was a tablet that had the words:
undergarments,
tops,
jackets,
bottoms,
shoes,
sleepwear,
dresses.
I walked over to it and tapped the sleep-ware button. Immediately the closet spun and before me were all sorts of nightgowns and sleepwear.
stunned I pushed the undergarments button and the closet spun again reveling undergarments of all kinds and types. I slowly when to the white undergarments and took both of them. They were silky and almost slipped out of my grasp but luckily I caught them both. Making sure I was dry I slipped the underwear on and then clipped on the bra.
I walked over to the tablet once again and pushed the sleepwear button again. The closet spun once more and reveled all sorts of sleepwear like last time. I took a white tight but long nightgown that was surprisingly extremely comfortable. I looked around again and saw longer ones and shorter ones nut they were all tight. I sighed. "Oh well." I walked back to the tablet and tapped the shoes button, then more buttons came.
Flats,
slippers,
boots,
heels,
tennies.
I tapped on slippers. And the closet spun again, revealing slippers. I walked over to the white soft slippers. I slipped in them and walked toward. Taking my towles with me. I got to the exit of the closet in less then three minutes. I opened the door and found my self beside the hair dresser. I walked over and sat on the cushioned white stool. I took a black comb and brushed my hair.
Knock, Knock.
I stopped combing my hair momentarily but continued to comb my hair as I started at the door from the mirror. "Come in." I called out. The door slowly opened and a little boy about the age of four came into the room. I put down the comb I had in hand and walked over to the boy. "Hello." I greeted as I came closer. The boy looked at me suspiciously before smirking? I raised an eyebrow and got close enough that I was at the door. I reached over to him but he quickly opened the door got out and slammed it in my face.
I frowned as I rubbed my face. "Ita! Geez, that was really mean..." I rubbed my nose and stood up from my crouched position. I looked over to my hair dresser and walked over to it.
I grabbed a white string and tied it to my long hair which had dried up and foremen curls. I tied the white string on my hair making it a high-ponytail and left my bangs out. I smiled at my reflection. I was finally set for bed. Outer... I frowned and walked over to my bed. What? I asked mentally. The boy from earlier, he hurt my nose! I rolled my eyes. Be glad you only feel mental pain. Inner laughed and stayed quiet. Signaling he had left or gone back to sleep. I sighed as I threw myself to my bed. "Ahhh, this bed is sooo comfortable!" I stood up and walked around to the left side of the bed and raised the covers. I slipped into the covers and sighed in relief as the warmth of the bed and covers covered my body. I smiled as I let myself fall to my slumber.
One week later..
I walked in the cherry blossom garden. Now that I knew the entire castle inside out I was free to walk around with out getting lost. "Sakura-sama! Sakura-sama!" I turned to Mai who was calling for me from the castle. I walked over to her with a smile. "Mai? Do you need something?" I asked. Mai shook her head. "N-no, the King and Queen request you audience at the throne room." Mai said hurriedly. "At the throne room? The King and Queen?" I asked. Through out my fist week of stay in the castle I haven't had interactions with the royal family unless we were at dinner. It was strange they had called for me. "I'll be-forget it I'll just go right now." Mai nodded as she lead me to the throne room. The one place I haven't been to since my stay here.
The two guards stationed there opened the door for me once I got there. Mai bowed before me and left. I gulped and entered the room. "Hello, Sakura-kun." I smiled and kneeled before Faguku and Mikoto. Who were sitting in there respectable thrones. Mikoto smiled warmly at me and Faguku just stared back emotionlessly. "Sakura-hime, The second Prince of this kingdom will be one month late in coming. So we have decided you meet him to where he is soon the be arriving at." Faguku stated.
I raised and eyebrow. "May I ask where that is?" Mikoto nodded. "Ah yes, that is in the kingdom of Kirihakure. They have already been informed of your arrival." I nodded. The land of water, huh? I heard they were nice people... "Do you have any complaints?" Faguku asked, but I knew he wouldn't care if I had any. "No, your highness.." Faguku nodded. "Do I leave today?" I asked. Mikoto nodded. "Yes. The Kirinakure kingdom with provide you with everything. Including clothes, the measurements have already be taken so their clothes will fit you perfectly." I nodded. "I'll be on my way then." I stood up and walked out of the throne room. "Sakura-sama, the carriage for you journey has been prepared." I nodded. Wow the Uchiha's don't kid around when they say now..
I followed the maid to the carriage and took the bento she handed me. "Thank you." I said gratefully. The maid nodded. "Have a safe journey, Sakura-sama." I smiled and climbed into the carriage. The travel to the kingdom of water is the maximum of one day if we didn't rest, and a maximum of three days if we did rest. I sighed. He I am again, sitting on a carriage. On my way to a place I've never seen before...
I looked around the carriage. It was more spacious then the carriages at home. And it had its own little bookshelve! At least I wouldn't be bored like last time. I took a book from the bookshelve. Hmm..Let's see what we have here..the shark and the fish? What is this? A child's book!? Geez, I guess I'll read it to pass the time..I took the book and began read.
I woke up. It was dawn. I opened the curtained window and looked outside. It was foggy. We have reached the Kingdom of Kirinakure...
"Misstres Sakura, we have reached the kingdom of Kirinakure. Please rest a while more. It be a little more untill we get to the castle." I nod. "Thank you." I closed the window curtain and sighed. "I don't think it fair. " I murmured. "That I get to sleep all day while he directs the carriage day and night." I let myself fall asleep once more.
.:XxX:.
"Misstres Sakura, we have arrived at the castle." I opened my eyes once more. "Have we?" I asked sleepily. "Yes. Please prepare yourself, I'll be opening your door soon." I nodded. "Okay." I looked around. I had eaten the bento the maid made for me and have fixed and combed my hair as well. All I needed was... "Please welcome Princess Haruno Sakura of the leaf!" The driver opened rg door for me and leans me his hand. I took it and stepped out of the carriage. Once I got out I was met with three blond-haired royals. "Sakura-hime, I glad you made it here safely." I curtsied and smiled. "I glad as well, to be allowed to come to such a beautiful Kingdom.."
The Queen laughed. "Why thank you. Sweetie show the kind princess to her room." The Princess that looked about my age nodded and walked over to me. "Hely, my name is Yamanaka Ino." I nodded. "I'm honored to meet you, princess Ino." Ino smiled. "Come on. I'll show you to your new room." Ino took me by the hand and passed her mother who was talking white my driver.
I looked around the room that Ino had shown me. "It's pretty." I complimented. Ino nodded as she walked over to my bed and sat down. "I thought you would like it. We tried to replicate your room back at your castle, so their shouldn't be anything you would find complicated or new." I nodded. "Thank you." Ino nodded.
Knock, knock.
Ino groaned and turned to the door. "Come in!" Ino called. The door opened and a maid came threw the door. "Princess Ino. They have arrived." Ino's frown quickly turned into a grin as she quickly stood up. "Tell them I'll be there in a few minutes. And that I'm bringing a friend!" The maid nodded and closed the door. Ino turned to me and grabbed my hand. "Hurry, I should let you know there not very patient." Ino began walking. Forcing me to follow her. I sighed. "Okay..." I picked up my pace so I could catch up with her.
We turned corners and went into rooms until we finally made it to the waiting room. Ino stopped and let go of my hand. "Hey guys!" Ino greeted. There were a few hello's and a 'Hey!' Came in return. I looked up to then and my eyes widened. Those people from the ball two years ago were all here.
jade clashed with dark black and everything went quiet. I bit my lip nervously. "Guys, remember I said we were having a quest?" Ino asked. No one said anything so she countinued. "She's the princess of the lesf. Haruno Sakura." At that instant the coal eyes that were looking at me tore away. "I'm going to my room. Suigetsu, Juugo, Karin. Do whatever you like." I watched as the three he addressed nodded with a bow.
A bright orange haired guy chuckled. "Sorry, Sasuke's always been like that. But that could of also been because..." I closed my eyes. "Because I'll be becoming his 'wife' right?" The guy nodded. "But don't let it bother you! I'm Naruto by the way. Prince of the kingdom of Iwagakure." I nodded. "Nice to meet you. Prince Naruto."
I looked at Naruto again. He had on average clothing, a orange colored shirt with white pants. His blue brilliant eyes looked similar to in but they shined with mischief.
Naruto smiled and pointed to the guy beside him. "This is Suigetsu. He's Sasuke's close-aid. So is Karin, and Juugo." I looked at all three of them. Suigetsu had white-blue hair and had a large sword at his side. His purple eyes shined with mischief that rivaled Naruto's. And his sharp shark-like teeth made him stand out from the others. Karin had red hair and red eyes. She sported black glasses and was dressed in a purple shirt that exposed only her belly-button with black shorts. Juugo seemed more calm then the other two. He had orange hair that outlined his gold eyes. He wore black pants and a white shirt.
Suigetsu smirked and walked over to me. "Heyy, princess if you ever get bored of Sasuke-sama. You know where to look." He put an arm around my neck while laughing. I just stayed put. "I'm joking. Sasuke-sama would Murderd me. Probably." Suigetsu took his hand away and walked over to Karin who then started to argue with him. Juugo went to them as well and just watched as they argued. I silently laughed.
Naruto shook his head and laughed. "Those two guys over there are Shikamaro and Neji. Shikamaro and his dad are top herbalists in Sasuke-teme's kingdom. He's also the smartest out of all us. Probably smarter then Sasuke too. Neji is the Prince of Sunagakure. He's almost as prideful as Sasuke-teme. The two girls are Tenten, who's a weapon mistress in Neji's kingdom and Hinita who's the princess of Sunagakure as well. The last guy over there is Kakashi-sensi. He's Sasuke-teme's adviser and teacher. But he's well.."
Naruto leaned closer to my ear as Kakashi took out a small yellow book. "He's a closet-pervert. You see that book he has?" I nodded. "It's a porn book!" I felt my cheeks grow red, implying my embarrassment. "R-Really!?" Naruto nodded as he laughed. I shook my head looked back at the people Naruto had just pointed to.
(Shikamaro had a odd hairstyle that was in the shape of a pineapple, which was really funny because it's not everyday that you see hairstyles like his. His black eyes looked bored and sleepy. He had on a green shirt and a black plants. Neji had long dark brown hair that was tied in a low pig-tail. His pure white eyes seemed to see things beyond us, he unlike the rest of the guys , wore noble attire that consisted of a high collared, long-sleeved cream-colored trench coat left unzipped from the waist down; around it, there is a gold belt with a copper-colored buckle strapping the two pieces of clothing together. Underneath his intricate coat, neji wears a white shirt with an upturned collar, dark brown pants, and knee-high black boots with silver metal frames.
Tenten was wearing a white sleeveless and high collared qipao dress with red trimmings that reaches her mid-thighs, and a side slit on the right and held in place with yellow fastenings. Decorated with a pale red flame pattern, running along the left side and is tied with a dark red obi. She has wears fishnet stockings on her legs and a pair of black open-toed boots. a pair of black scrolls around both of her wrists like bangles, and her hair Is worn in Chinese-style buns, styled as braided buns, both braided together on the back of her head and ending in a short plait that reaches just below her shoulders. She has bangs that are payed on the right to keep out of her eyes.
Hinita was wearing a purple dress adorned with dark purple ribbons, as well as a purple choker with a green gem in it. Her waist length hair was put down, and here bangs sat right above her silver eyes, allowing her to see.)
I laughed softly. As I turned to Suigetsu and Karin, who were amusingly, still fighting. Ino frowned and grabbed Suigetsu's bluish-whitish hair. "Oi! Ino! Why you do that for! You little bi-" Karin narrowed her eyes and promptly stomped on Suigetsu's foot. "Ita! Karin..." Karin smirked. Ino frowned And Tenten walked up to them pulling on both Suigetsu's and Karin's ears. "You guys...stop acting so idiotic and present yourselves correctly!" Suigetsu cringed and Karin 'hmpfed'.
Hinita then turned to me and smiled. "I'm sorry, but they're not as bad as they seem you know?" I looked away from the scene to look at Hinita and nodded. "Yes, you all, seem to get along well. Mostly Suigetsu-San and Karin-San." Hinita nodded. "I'm glad you think so, I hope we get along well!" Hinita smiled as she extended a hand for me to shake. I nodded as I took her hand. "Likewise." Hinita and I let go of each others hands and looked back at the arguing pairs. Shikamaro, Naruto and Neji are seen to have been dragged into the argument.
I smiled. They're not weird...Just...Unique. Ah, yes...Unique...
Soooo, after a loonng wait, (and no reviews..) I have decided to post the next chapter. Seeing as the story wouldn't go anywhere without me posting another...but oh well...
PLEASE! R&R!
THANK YOUUUUUUU!
