Sakura didn't sleep that night. She only sat at her windowsill over looking the city usually bustling with life now bare except for the stray patrol Knight every so often. If Orochimaru was going to attack again Sakura would know by the way a battle cry would erupt. The pinkette was now officially Queen of Konoha, it had said in her parents will that Kakashi had produced after Sakura had calmed down. Tsunade had said that they needed to send messenger hawks out to the allied Kingdoms and have them send reinforcements. Sakura had listened and had ordered Kiba Inuzuka to do it. He was another Knight that Sakura and Naruto had grown up with. Actually there was a good twelve of them altogether really, if she included her Ladies in Waiting. But that didn't seem to cross her mind.
What did was what kind of memories that this attack brought. Mainly memories of Sasuke. Not six years ago he had left to go train with Orochimaru to get something Konoha could never give him. Power. Sakura was disgusted by this. He left, no betrayed, his home to become something so gruesomely evil. Sakura hated him for that. She hated Orochimaru. She hated how she still cared for Sasuke even though he would probably kill her the first chance he got. Why did it have to be this way? Why couldn't have Sasuke just-
"Sakura?" The said person turned her gaze to the door, seeing her two Ladies in Waiting. Ino and Hinata. The only other girl in the castle was Tenten and she had fully devoted herself to Knighthood, Sakura had made sure she was treated just the same as the boys.
"Are you going to sleep at all forehead?" Ino asked walking over with a small smile on her lips. Ino was her first female best friend she had ever made before Hinata and Tenten had come along. They insulted each other like no tomorrow, but that was just how their friendship worked. Sakura loved it.
"No how could I Ino-pig when my city has just been raided, my parents murdered, and I was just named Queen of something I'm not ready for yet." Sakura sighed and stood. She still wore her tunic and pants, with her sword at her side. She was ready for battle, while the two women in front of her only sported dresses and maybe a dagger. But that had always been Sakura. Wearing what everyone didn't want her to wear, doing what a princess shouldn't be doing. Every girl always dreamed of becoming a princess. Sakura just wanted to be a normal girl who worked for her own things. That was one of the many reasons why she was planning on being a Doctor as well as Queen.
"S-Sakura-hime," Sakura turned her tired gaze to Hinata. When she had met Hinata, she had been a stuttering, shy child. Hinata still stuttered sometimes, but she was stronger with her opinions, and never backed down from a challenge. She was the one with the biggest crush on Naruto, and her cousin was also a Knight. It was funny seeing Neji and Hinata together, one so tough and intimidating while the other couldn't hurt a fly. "If you don't sleep you won't b-be able to meet with the war council in the morning." The long haired girl murmured, giving Sakura a small smile.
Sakura sighed and nodded, "I'm going out for a quick ride though, I need some fresh air." She said dismissing the two girls and making her way to the stables. She would check on the boundaries and make sure no one had compromised them.

Sasuke looked upon Konoha with a disinterested gaze. He sat upon the wall he had used to sit on with Sakura to watch the sunset. Feeling a slight tug at his icy heart he immediately looked away over to the Otogakure Camp and gave a snort. Seeing that it was still pretty active even at this time of night wasn't surprising. Sasuke had spent a good three years as the snake-like man's apprentice before going off on his own to look for his brother. Sasuke killed him three years ago but not before finding out why Itachi had done the crime that had left him alone and it pained him. He wondered if Sakura knew anything... Sasuke doubted it but it was possible. But the question was still there.
"Uchiha." Sasuke cast his gaze down on the Konoha side of the wall, and raised an eyebrow when he saw Tsunade. "What are you doing here? You're considered an enemy." She hissed putting her hand on the hilt of her sword. Sasuke's eye twitched in annoyance at the busty woman. If he had been here with Orochimaru they would have won Konoha and killed the rest of the living Haruno relations along with Tsunade just because she annoyed him. "Answer me fool before I sound the alarm." She growled.
Sasuke simply looked at her before hopping off the wall and landed silently in front of the blonde. "Orochimaru would have won if I was on his still willing to fight for him." He said meeting his eyes with the brown ones that looked so much like Sakura's mothers. Sasuke quickly wondered if Mebuki and Kizashi were still alive.
"Then why are you here?" Tsunade asked, she didn't relax and Sasuke gave her good reason to. He had tried to kill all of them several times, but the Konoha citizens were still too soft to actually kill anyone, so really Sasuke could kill all of them now and be rid of them without much hassle. But he wouldn't let Orochimaru kill Sakura.
Sasuke mearly shrugged in answer to the blonde. He looked up at the stars and sighed as Tsunade began to speak again. "Have you come to fight for Konoha?" Sasuke shrugged. "Are you returning to stay?" Another shrug of his shoulders. "For Sakura?"
Sasuke's eyes flashed to Tsunade and he narrowed the black orbs. "What do you want Tsunade?"
"I want you to become a double spy." Tsunade said placing her other hand on her hip. They stared at each other for a good five minutes before Sasuke took a deep breath and released it as a sigh. Pinching the bridge of his nose he thought about the proposition by turning away from Tsunade for a few minutes. His black cloak swayed and his hand rubbed over his face resting over his mouth. His mind flickered to the day where he had asked Orochimaru for a leave of absence. He had coincidently bumped into Itachi a couple hours previous to it. Killed him that day too also finding out why Itachi had killed their parents, their family. But then searching Itachi, he had found a letter from Tsunade saying that the Elder's who had suggested the crime to Kizashi had be-
"I'll do it." Sasuke said taking another deep breath, turning to look at Tsunade. She had a small smile on her face and nodded.
"Good. I will let Sakura kno-"
"No!" Sasuke said reaching out to the retreating Tsunade. She looked up confused at Sasuke's actions. "She can't know. Not just yet." I hurt her a long time ago... I can't let her know until I can find the words to tell her myself... Tsunade knowingly smirked and nodded.
"Alright, but if you don't tell her soon, I will." Suddenly horse steps could be heard and the two separated. Sasuke jumped back up onto the wall and waited to see if it was someone he knew. His sharp intake of breath told his mind (and heart) he did.
