Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Naruto or anything related to Naruto. If so Sasuke would have never ran off with the snake pedo and Itachi would still be alive. I think I own Mizuki since I just came up with her on the spot xD. I would also like to point out that I don't own the song it belongs to Makino Yui and yes it's the english translation of the song You are my love.

'text' means thinking

Chapter 4: Trouble begins

The suns soft rays broke through the piercing darkness of the small room through an old boarded up window. The golden streaks danced across the floor until they came across the sole occupant in the room. They danced and reflected of the golden hair to their hearts content. Moment's later eyes opened wearily revealing dull blue eyes that once were crystal blue. Slowly Naruko began to sit up straight from the uncomfortable sleeping positions she was in. She looked around the bare room with dead eyes before resting her gaze on the dirty floor. She sat there staring at nothing for a while until the turning of the door nob caused her to snap her head upwards. Hiding her earlier depression she mustered a piercing glare towards the door. Finally after some fiddling the door opened to reveal a young woman around her age with long white hair. She took one look at Naruko before looking at the floor and walking in.

" I brought you some food," she said timidly as she placed a tray she was holding on a nearby table

"…"

" I hope you like it" she said looking up from the floor

Dropping her glare Naruko stared blankly at the woman

" I'm not hungry," she said

" …Please try to eat something," begged the woman

" … What's your name?" asked Naruko

"Mizuki" answered the girl

" Why are you here" she asked

" I was assigned to take care of you by Nagato-sama" said Mizuki

" I just want to be alone," said Naruko

" …I understand," she said before bowing and leaving the room

Naruko stared at the door and watched as Mizuki closed the door to her prison. She continued to stare at the door for a few seconds until she turned and faced the boarded up window. She longed to feel the sun on her skin and the wind through her hair and most of all being free. Slowly she began to lose herself in her thoughts as words began to spill from her lips.

"Kiss me sweet

I'm sleeping in silence

All alone

In ice and snow"

' I'm sorry, so sorry'

" In my dream

I'm calling your name

You are my love"

' Why can't I keep you out of trouble no matter how hard I try'

"In your eyes

I search for my memory

Lost in vain"

' I love you so much yet all I do is find ways to hurt you'

"So far in the scenery

Hold me tight,

And swear again and again

We'll never be apart"

' Yet here I am being selfish and hoping you'll come and rescue me, I hope you can forgive me'

"What a touching song" cut in Nagato's voice

Setting a glare back on her face, Naruko looked at Nagato standing in

front of the door with his arms crossed and a smug smirk on his face.

"What do you want?" she hissed out

" I couldn't help but overhear your touching song, to your beloved Sasuke," he said leaning against the door.

" Shut up, a low life like you doesn't deserve to even speak his name" She ground out

Nagato slowly pushed away from the door and began to walk towards the chair Naruko was tied to. He remained quiet and looked straight into her eyes and stopped when he was within touching range. Suddenly he pulled back his right arm and struck Naruko with the back of his hand. A small cry slipped out of Naruko's mouth yet she held her tears back as she glared through her messy golden tresses.

"Now, now, we can't have you defying and disrespecting your future husband can we" he said kneeling down to see her at eye level.

Naruko kept silent as Nagato reached out and held her chin in a crushing hold and turned her to face him.

" I'm going to have fun breaking you" he said before harshly releasing Naruko's chin.

" I'll be back later to punish you properly, right now I have certain business to attend to" he said as he once again disappeared through the door.

Naruko slowly looked up to the ceiling before closing her eyes for a few moments.

'God, please protect my family and Sasuke and his family'

When Sasuke emerged from his bedchambers and into the dinning hall he found his entire family seated there with a strange yet familiar looking red head.

"Sasuke there you are, we've been waiting for you" said Fugaku

"What do you need me for father?" asked sasuke sitting at the table

" We want you to meet sir Kurama, a knight of the realms" said his father

"…Hn" he said

'He's that man that was dancing with the blonde during the autumn ball'

"Kurama was one of the body guards assigned to watch over Naruko, we want you to talk to him in hope of bringing back your memories" said Fugaku

" Hn, right let's go then" said Sasuke walking out of the dinning hall.

He began to walk farther away from the main portion of the castle into the more quiet parts. He would look back now and again to see Kurama following him quietly. They began to pass less and less people in the halls until they came upon an empty courtyard. As he walked near the benches under the trees he began to hear laughter. He turned around and noticed no one around him not even Kurama who was right behind him. The laughter began to get louder and louder. He turned around and saw the same blonde little girl pass by him.

'What the hell'

" You can't catch me Suke" she giggled before turning around and looking at sasuke

" Who-"

Before sasuke could finish his question the girl just smiled before turning and running while holding her light blue dress skirts.

A large hand appearing on his shoulder caused Sasuke to turn quickly to see Kurama staring at him with concern in his ruby eyes.

"Are you alright my lord?" he said

" Hn I'm fine" said sasuke brushing the others hand off him

'Who is that girl…could that be this Naruko they're looking for'

Once seated Sasuke wasted no time in asking the questions that he had about the subject.

" What does Naruko look like" he said

"If you remember the day of the ball, Naruko-sama was the young lady you danced with" said kurama

'So that's who that was'

"Did I ever know her as a child" he asked

" I'm not quite sure since I was only recently hired to be her body guard and have only known her for a few years but from what she has told me about you I gather that you did" he said

" I see" ' she must be the girl I keep seeing'

" My father mentioned this happened before, why is she being targeted again?" he asked

With a great sigh Kurama looked at the sky before looking down at his fisted hands.

" What I was told by Minato-sama was that Naruko-sama is targeted by one person only. This person's name is Nagato, he was once part of the kings court. He witnessed his parents murder and blamed it all on Minato-sama for not being able to protect those within his court. From that day on he became obsessed with gaining power. He tried to over throw Minato-sama but failed and was exiled." He said

"Why does he want Naruko though?"

"We don't know for sure but we think it's part of some scheme to become ruler of the Namikaze kingdom" 'and because she's your fiancé'

Silence once again engulfed both as they sat and gathered their thoughts.

In a remote place far from the Uchiha and Namikaze kingdom awaited a camp of armed men anxiously pacing back and forth. Within the encampment various men could be seen preparing for a big battle. They all stopped what they were doing and faced the entrance of the camp when their leader arrived by horseback.

"Nagato-sama, you've arrived at a good time" said one of the men walking up to Nagato

"I hope so Orochimaru, I've got good news for you my subjects" said Nagato walking to the center of his troops

"My men, today marks a new chapter in our battle. Today is the day we attack the Uchiha palace and end their reign" Shouted Nagato thrusting his sword in the air

Around him all of the armed men shouted in glee before kneeling down before Nagato.

"Rise My men and prepare for battle, we shall arrive at night and use the darkness to cloak us and give us the element of surprise" addressed Nagato

Leaving his men to gather what was necessary, Nagato walked up to his second in command and motioned him over to his tent. Once in the tent he turned to face the snake like man.

" Orochimaru once we enter the castle I want you to kill everyone you see" explained Nagato

"Even the Uchihas" hissed Orochimaru

"All of them just leave Fugaku and Minato to me" he said

"Minato?"

"I'm sure by now they have joined forces to find Naruko and the most likely place they are right now is within the Uchiha palace"

"Of course my lord"

As Nagato turned to prepare for his battle he failed to see the smirk blooming on Orochimaru's pale face as he exited the tent.

'Soon I'll be able to get my hands on a perfect body for my experiments'

That's it for now, i'll see you guys next week hopefully and I hope you guys have a wonderful week :D.
