The day soon crawled and it was night, she walked down the hall and into her room. Her room was painted black and red there was stuffed animals lying around and scattered pens and pencils. Her loyal maid Ino Yamanaka sat on her bed, folding her arms and closing her eyes. To Sakura Ino was more ladylike than her, but to her parents Ino was the scoundrel's daughter. It was true that Ino's father had sold her off to the Royal family and skipped houses leaving the villagers of Konohagakure harassed by the shinobi as he did many evil deeds. But to Sakura Ino was her so-called girlfriend.
The princess walked up to Ino and tapped her shoulders, her eyes fluttered to shine bright ocean blue eyes that lit up the dingy room. She tilted her head and stands off her platinum blonde hair fell over her shoulders.
"Yes Sakura-hime?" She asked politely. Sakura's eyebrows twitched, Ino noticed her and gulped.
"Gomen… Sakura-chan!" Ino apologized. Sakura hated being called princess, she felt that she didn't deserve it. Sakura sighed and patted Ino's head as a sign of her forgiveness. She did not like to talk, she felt that whenever she speaks people sneer at her.
Ino smiled, "Sakura you need a dress for the King's ball." She walked to the walk-in closet and tossed out a creamy white gown with frills and laces. She handed Sakura a mustard yet light yellow shawl that could cover her upper body.
Sakura examined the gown; it was like the Royal Dressmaker described, white like a virgin yet powerful as a tigress. The lower part of the gown had black laces and diamonds embedded on it, it matched her ballroom gloves as well.
Sakura made a mental note to raise the salary of the dressmaker. Smiling to herself, Sakura skipped into the changing room to dress up.
After a few minutes, Sakura stepped out. Ino had to gasp, Sakura's hair was long for your information and it was straight yet it curled slightly at the end. Her tresses reached where her chest was covering her important parts. Her eyes glittered in the light as she fumbled with her fingers.
"Sakura you look breathtaking!" Ino squealed. Sakura blushed and curtsied. Then she gave Ino a mischievous look, she brandished a dark purple gown that was straight and plain it had a black sash around the waist.
"You want me to try it? But Sakura the King-" Ino was cut off by Sakura's finger, the look in her eyes meant that she was forcing Ino to try it or else.
Ino sniffed and changed out of her maid uniform and into the dress, as she stepped out Sakura clapped with glee in approval. Ino twirled around inspecting herself and giggled. "Thank you Sakura."
Sakura nodded and linked arms with Ino, as the duo walked down the hall many maids whispered harsh comments about Ino. Ino's eyes started to swell but Sakura lightly slapped her face. Ino looked at Sakura and nodded she could not let this moment pass.
Finally, the two shinobi outside the door opened it for them to reveal ballroom made out of gold, banners of white and gold filled the place no dark colors in sight.
As Sakura and Ino settled down on some chairs, Sakura waved at Ino telling her that she would be getting them some drinks.
Sakura briskly walked towards the table where a bowl of fresh grape juice was contained. Scooping up the juice into two cups, she headed back to Ino.
What she saw was not pretty, her father and mother furious that a scoundrel's daughter was her had ripped off her clothes and left her in her nightdress; her mother had slashed Ino's skin with a small dagger and was licking her blood off it. Both her parents and the guests were laughing their heads off some spat at her. Sakura's mouth curled and she threw the two cups at her parents.
She started walking towards her parents, whom where shocked at what their daughter had done. She held Ino's body tightly around her and glared at her soaked parents. Quietly, she led the sobbing Ino away from the scene.
While walking to her room Ino cried, "Sakura." Sakura held her tightly and whispered soothing words into her ears to comfort her best friend. Soon, they were inside the room, Ino had stopped her crying and Sakura was planning something on a scroll.
"Sakura what are you doing?" Ino asked with a slight tremor in her voice.
"I'm planning our escape," Sakura replied softly. Ino raised her eyebrows shocked that the princess had spoken. Peering at the scroll Sakura drew out a detailed plan with the right guards and formula.
"Okay, we escape via the window you carry the medicine and goods while I carry the blankets and ropes we have to knock out some shinobi; run across the courtyard; leap over the small river and we have to pass the kingdom's security checks; after that we strip off our clothes and get into the commoner's uniform," Sakura explained.
"Wait but what if the security asks why we are here cause when we escape they would be alerted," Ino asked.
"That is where you come in we dash towards the checkpoint you stab some shinobi and we take off again to the Village of the Mist I guess," Sakura shrugged her shoulders.
"Hm… your right Village of the Mist is neutral they won't attack us ne?" Ino asked.
"I hope,"
"No wonder your some kind of freaky genius," Ino commented. Sakura merely laughed.
Both girls agreed that they would escape at dawn, both girls slept fitfully that night. Both girls did not now the upcoming events tomorrow.
