The Girl
Sasuke woke up in a large white room.
He got up and looked at himself in the mirror.
He was wearing a white shirt and white pants, with no shoes.
He looked around for an exit and saw a door.
He went out the door and looked around, sharingan abaze.
He snuck out of the hospital and gaped at what he saw.
It was like a city, but all the houses where in the trees.
Everything was white or silver, and seemed to glow.
No one seemed to notice him as he walked down what he thought was a street.
He turned a corner and stopped.
It was the same girl that he saw before he fell out.
Looking at her, he remembered the wound and looked at his chest.
Nothing was there; the wound must've been healed.
Slowly, he walked up to her, her back was still turned.
When he was a couple of steps behind her, she turned around and looked surprised.
"You're awake! We thought you'd be unconscious for a few more hours."
"Where am I?"
"You are in the City of Light, Nisamteris."
"How did I get here?"
"We saw your fight with one of the Nahi during my evening walk through the forest and went to help you. Good thing too, he was about to finish you."
"Why? Why me?"
"I don't know; perhaps there's something about you that must threaten them or their master."
"Master?"
"Yes...Oh, I forgot...he's kept his empire secret for so long...But where are my manners..." she took a low bow."I am Eleidrienne, princess of Nisamteris."
"Sasuke...Uchiha."
"Well Sasuke, I hope your stay here will be enjoyable."
"How did my wound heal so fast?"
"I did it. It is required that a future queen is able to heal her people at will. I'm happy I was able to help. You..." she looked away abit and blushed ,"have quite a descent figure."
Sasuke looked at her more closely; something about this girl interested him.
"Milady? Milady? Milady!" a servant came running up. "Milady you cannot keep wandering off. Your father will have my head on a pike if I keep losing you. Oh," the servant said resting her eyes on Sasuke,"who is this fine young gentleman here?"
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha."
"Oh, the Uchiha boy that was found in the forest. You're very lucky, not many can go against the Nahi and live to tell the tale. Would you like to accompany us to the throne room Mr. Uchiha? I'm sure you have questions that need answering."
Sasuke nodded his head and followed them.
The 'palace' was a large tree-like structure with a winding staircase.
The walk up was long, but very sightful.
When Sasuke reached the top he was once again in awe at the sheer beauty of the surroundings.
"Sasuke Uchiha, I see you have awakened."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Four days."
"Why were those riders after me?"
"The Nahi are creatures of great malice and hatred. They abhore purity and seek to smite it wherever and whenever it makes itself known. You are still a pure being, just like Ellie."
"Can you tell me where my things are so I may leave?"
"Oh, you cannot leave yet...It would be far too dangerous; the Nahi have not given up their search for you. And as you might've noticed...they cannot be killed by normal means."
"How do you kill them."
"That is a story for another time. For now, rest your body, I do not think the poison is all out yet."
"I'll go get you some breakfast Sasuke." Eleidrienne said putting her hand on his shoulder and letting it slip off.
Sasuke felt every hair in his body stand on end, and he didn't know why.
He looked after her, wondering how this girl had such an effect on him.
"Do not worry, your feelings towards her are based on confusion."
"What feelings?" Sasuke asked hostily.
"She is a unique child. She does all she can for her people, even for visitors. I suspect she might have feelings for you as well."
"I don't have feelings for her." Sasuke said hotly.
"What you say and what you do are two different things. If you feel so sure of your apathy towards her then prove it. In the mean time, I must summon the council to discuss this matter. Good Day, Sasuke Uchiha."
