He woke up when the sun burned his eyes. He looked over at Naruto, who was still asleep. He got up and grabbed Naruto's bed, flipping it. There was a satisfying thud as Naruto hit the floor.
"YOU BASTARD!" Sasuke smirked and walked out off the bedroom leaving Naruto to curse. As he walked towards the front door he met up with Kakashi.
"We leave in an hour."
"Hn"
"Is Naruto up?" all Sasuke did was smirk, "I'll take that as a yes". Said person came stomping down the stairs a few minutes later.
"Hey where's Sakura?" the blonde haired wonder looked around.
"She's already playing her role."
"Huh?"
"The lord doesn't want to insult his guards or the prince who invited the princess, so we're going under cover you and Sasuke will be the princesses personal guards, Sakura her maid, and I will be captain of the guards, I will have information to everything that happens. You'll need to pick up the uniform form the butler."
"EW he's creepy" Sasuke let his head drop down, he hated uniforms.
"Come on loser." He turned around going to search for the butler with their uniforms. They were fortunate that he found them, thrusting a pair of black pants and shoes at them plus two stiff, dark purple blazes. Sasuke sighed; at least they weren't bright colours. He took the clothes and headed to the room he shared with Naruto, he was following behind Sasuke. They quickly changed in their room. When they finished they shoved their clothes in their packs. They shouldered their packs and went back towards the front door. Kakashi looked them up and down,
"Oh how dashing." Sasuke's only reply was to glare, but Naruto had a lot to say about it.
"Why do we have to wear these ugly, itchy things? We can't even have our weapons where we need them. The jackets are so tight I don't think I could touch my toes without ripping them." Sasuke sighed, the idiot had a point. These weren't the best clothes to wear when trying to protect someone. Sasuke watched Kakashi reach into his pocket and pulled out 'come, come paradise'. He wasn't even going to answer the question, although it was kind of obvious. They needed to blend and look like guards so as not to offend the prince. Kakashi walked out the front door with Naruto right behind. Sasuke followed at his own pace. When they got outside Sasuke could see five caravans. One would carry the princess and Sakura. Two more would maybe carry clothes and other belongings. What were the other two for?
"Hey sensei, what are all the caravans for?" Sasuke realised that even though Naruto sounded like an idiot, a lot of the questions he asked, were ones he, himself wondered a lot of the time.
"One to take the princess there. The coach for her to arrive in. the last three are for luggage". Ok so Sasuke almost had it.
"So she had one to specially arrive in?" Again both Kakashi and himself ignored Naruto's stupid question. Just then the caravans started moving.
"Ok let's go."
Sasuke and Naruto took up their place on either side of the princess's caravan. The kept pace with the horses who pulled the caravan so that they where even with the windows. Sasuke could feel the sword he was made to wear as part of his uniform, hit his leg every time he took a step. It took them a week to reach their destination. When they got there they were all travel worn, even the princess was looking a little worse for wear. They stopped ten minutes out of town to allow her to get ready then she got into the coach and took the lead. He and Naruto kept their positions on either side of her. They got to the town gate and were let right in. the crowds that waited for them shocked him. There was barely enough room for him between the crowd and the coach. When they had finally battled their way to the palace, Sasuke had to open the door for the princess.
"Naruto, you need to come escort the princess down the walkway." The reply he got was for Naruto to suddenly be at his side arm out and waiting. Sasuke heard the princess giggle and turned his head towards the door so that no one could see the disgust on his face. He stood at the end of the walkway when Sakura was standing next to him.
"Let's go Sasuke." And together the walked towards where the princess was standing. Sasuke and Naruto stood behind each of her shoulders, and Sakura stood by her left shoulder. Sasuke watched as the prince bowed to the princess, but he never took his eyes off Sakura. Sasuke let his mind wander as the formalities were carried out. He was discreetly scoping out the area. The palace was three stories tall. There was a 10 foot fence around the palace. Guards placed every now and then. There was forest behind the palace. He would have to set some traps there later.
"Oi, bastard." The whisper came from Naruto, he looked at him to see him a few paces ahead. They were moving into the palace. He followed Naruto towards the front door. He stopped briefly at the threshold before he stepped through.
"Sasuke, Naruto. Don't follow the princess everywhere. If she and the prince go to a room to talk just wait outside. Sakura you wait just inside the door, look like your not listening but keep your ears open." With the end of the transmission all three of them followed Kakashi's instructions. When Sakura, Ai and the prince went into the room, Sasuke and Naruto just stood outside. He was ready for it before it came,
"How long do they expect us to wait out here?"
"Shut up" Sasuke didn't let his annoyance show when Naruto continued to blabber on. Sasuke retreated into himself. When he looked over at Naruto he was slumped on the floor asleep. He sighed, that idiot, falling asleep on the job. Just then he heard the scrapping of chairs.
"Get up loser." He said as he delivered a sharp kick to Naruto's side. There was a moment pause before Naruto was on his feet playing his role as a guard.
"I'll get you for that you bastard." He barely heard it but it made him smirk internally. The door swung open and the prince and Ai walked past, followed by Sakura. She caught Sasuke's eyes briefly and gave a sharp nod. Sasuke kept his face blank, but his mind was racing. So Sakura thought the prince was dangerous, Ai's father was right. This meant that they would be staying longer than they hoped. Sasuke looked at Naruto he was amazed the moron could walk, he was still half asleep. So he was taking the first watch, since Naruto would be useless at the moment.
"Your room, milady." Urgh suck up. He took up position by the door handle.
"Naruto go sleep, you're too tired to be of any use." He watched as Naruto walked down the hallway. Sakura followed until she reached the room next to the princesses. Being the maid had its advantages.
"She sure is beautiful." The unexpected voice shocked him, not to mention what was said.
"Uh, sure." He never really paid attention to Ai's appearance.
"She's so spirited and those green eyes." What? Ai's eyes were hazel. Was he talking about Sakura? He took a quick look at the prince and sure enough he was staring at Sakura's door. Not good. The prince let out a sigh before turning and walking away.
"Kakashi?"
"Yo"
"It seems the prince is paying more than appropriate attention to Sakura."
"What's your evaluation on him?"
"Bad"
"Right when you see Naruto tell him to keep a close eye on him, and to look out for Sakura."
"He would do that any way. Out."
He stood and prepared himself for a long night. At about 1.30, Naruto came in looking slightly more alert than when Sasuke had last seen him.
"Oi idiot keep an eye on the prince I don't trust him. And watch out for Sakura."
"You don't need to tell me to look after Sakura bastard." Yeh, yeh, yeh. Sasuke left Naruto in the hallway staring at nothing. He only realised how tired he was when he got to his tent. He flopped down on the bed after taking his uniform off. He wondered why he didn't trust the prince. Normally he would find proof before he trusted his gut, but this was overpowering distrust. He decided to think about it tomorrow he needed sleep, otherwise he wouldn't be able to think straight and it could be fatal to someone.
