Hey guys! Before anything, I didn't forget to update. I just didn't have the time to get my hands on the laptop and all…so, yeah! Enjoy!
Itachi's POV
There was talk going around about a mysterious girl who was found near our shorelines. The servants were making gossip about it and I couldn't help but catch a few phrases.
"…new girl…"
"…Uchiha took her in to…"
"Why would she…"
"…pink hair!"
'Pink hair? Well that's interesting.'
Hey? What can I say? It's not everyday you see a pink headed girl who just appeared on the beach and is now being taken under your own mother.
As soon as the servants saw me in the hallway, they giggled and blushed before bowing and repeating in unison, "Good morning, Prince Uchiha."
I nodded and said, "Hn. Tell me where Sasuke went."
They shied away at my tone but the smarter of the two replied, "Umm, he followed Queen Uchiha to the royal gardens."
As soon as the servant said that, the other one began to stare at me…weirdly…
'Fangirl.'
I nodded and began to walk towards the main doors leading to the gardens. I could still feel the stares of the remaining fangirl servants. Seriously…who just stands there staring at you for like…I don't know… a long time?
'Fangirls.'
I internally groaned while walking through the hallway. As soon as I reached the main doors, the guards bowed and said, "Her Majesty and Prince Sasuke are in the gardens, Prince Itachi. His Majesty will not be there since he is preparing for a meeting."
I nodded and relied, "Please tell him that I will be accompanying my Mother."
The guard nodded and quickly went to go send the message. I sighed a bit and quickly went through the already opened doors after nodding to the remaining guards on duty.
As soon as I went through those doors, I was greeted by the bittersweet sunshine, the beautiful gardens Mother decorated herself, and the sight of said person sitting on a rock on the hill with Sasuke leaning on the tree behind her and the pink-headed mystery talking and smiling with Mother herself.
Interesting.
Sakura's POV
"Hi, dear. My name is Queen Mikoto Uchiha. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Mikoto turned to Ino then said, "Ino, you are dismissed."
Ino bowed before scurrying of. She sent me one worried glance before disappearing into the garden. Mikoto motioned for me to follow her as she climbed up the hill. We soon reached the hill and Mikoto found a large rock where she sat on like a proper lady would (which she obviously is).
Mikoto then said, "So…what's your name?"
I cleared my throat and bowed a bit and said, "My name is Sakura…Sakura."
Mikoto tilted her head in confusion before saying, "What's your last name?"
I can't tell them the truth. My father was a pirate. A freaking pirate.
I answered quickly, "I'm an orphan…"
I had to act the part. I looked down and began to form fake tears. As soon as the tears began to stream down, Mikoto quickly pulled me into a hug before apologizing, "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up."
I (fake) sniffled and said, "It's okay. It was a long time ago, anyway."
I wiped the tears away and quickly got into a more comfortable position for this…interview.
She quickly changed the subject, "So what do you specialize in?"
I pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I can do basic cleaning, I definitely cannot cook and I go well enough with people."
As soon as I said that, a boy with spiked up hair suddenly appeared in the bottom of the hill. He was quite loud for a supposed trained prince-knight-whatever.
Mikoto smiled and said, "Ah, here comes Sasuke."
Said boy was almost up the hill when he noticed both Mikoto and me. He glared at me before nodding at Mikoto while saying, "Mother. I did not…know you would be here."
She smiled, "I was just here talking with Sakura. The girl we found in the beach, remember?"
He nodded and said, "Ah. I'm waiting for Itachi, if you don't mind."
Mikoto shook her head, "Of course not, Sasuke. I'm sure he'll be here soon enough."
Sasuke nodded and leaned on the tree behind us, just watching me like a hawk. He obviously doesn't trust me. I mean, who would? I'm a complete stranger who they just happened to find on the beach. Oh, did I forget to mention, I'm a girl!?
Mikoto then continued, "Well, let's start with the basics. How old are you, Sakura?"
I replied, "Twenty years old."
She squealed, "You're just the same age as Sasuke!"
'Yeah. Just great.'
She then smiled, "You're quite pretty for your age, Sakura. So why don't you doll yourself up like all the other girls do? Don't you want to impress someone?"
I asked, "Are you asking if I'm a stalker or something?"
Sasuke snorted, "Why ask when we already know you are one?"
Did he just call me a…fangirl?
I replied sweetly, "It's hard to fall for someone when you barely even know them. It's even harder to fall for someone when there's nothing there to fall for."
Sasuke glared and said, "Did you just…insult me?"
I smirked, "Nope. I merely stated the truth."
I smiled brightly and turned to Mikoto, "So…what are you going to do with me?"
Mikoto thought for a while then smiled, "Seeing as you aren't a fangirl, I guess my sons can use a personal maid. Whenever I get them new maids, things disappear. Anyway, all you would have to do is do what they ask as long as it is logical everyday. We'll still need to get Itachi's approval though."
Sasuke huffed, "Whatever."
He faced the other direction while Mikoto continued, "Well, Itachi is my older son. Twenty-five years old. Heir to the throne and all."
I replied, "Never heard of him. Is he as bad as his little brother?"
A voice behind me then answered, "I don't think I'm as bad as he is, but you are welcome to find out."
What is it with Uchihas coming out nowhere!?
Wait.
Did he just hear what I just said?
Crap.
Thanks for reading this and waiting. I would love to see some reviews and all, so please do!
Updates may take longer since I have plans for next week, but I promise to make it up to you guys.
Chocolate Kisses, everyone!
