Once again I feel terrible for leaving you guys like that! I really didn't mean to! I just wanted a break from writing 'cuz of the drama in my life right now. So once again sorry! But at least I'm here right now and typing, right? Here goes...

"Finally," Sakura cried as she reached the Hyuuga compound, "it took me long enough to get here."

"S-Sakura-san!" Hinata called to her new friend. She saw Sakura comming and decided to meet her and warn her about her father's temper before she came in.

Sakura just laughed when Hinata warned her about her father. "Don't worry about it Hinata-chan! I'll be fine!" She bagan to walk inside but stoped, turned towards Hinata and said, " And it's Sakura-chan to you." She smiled and continued going inside. The Hyuuga compound wasn't nearly as big as her old home, but what do you expect? Sakura is a princess after all.

Hinata giggled at her friend when she accedentally stumbled and regained her posture quickly. She sure is some friend, Hinata thought to herself. One of my first friends too... Hinata frowned at what she just thought.

"HINATA-CHAN!" Sakura called for the fourth time in a row. She waved her hands in front of Hinata's face and sighed when she still didn't answer. Sakura gathered just a tiny bit of chakra into her first and third finger on her right hand. She lightly tapped Hinata on the shoulder and sent a small shock to make Hinata snap out of her daze.

"EH?!" Hinata cried off gaurd. She stumbled backwards slightly and raised her arms into a fighting stance.

"You okay Hinata-chan?" Sakura asked a little worried about her friend. Her face showed it too.

"Y-yeah," Hinata stuttered. "Here. My father wants to meet you Sakura-chan." Hinata finally stopped stuttering around Sakura.((...Wow. That was fast wasn't it?))

"Ok? What's he wants with little old me?" Sakura asked Hinata while they began to walk towards the main household in the Hyuuga compound.

"He said, 'I have something to share with both you. Bringe her here at once.' Those were his exact words."

The two were silent for a moment untill Sakura suddenly burst out, "Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you had to bring me here and I wouldn't come?"

This caused Hinata to go into a fit of giggles for the rest of the way there. "This is it."

Sakura twitched for a moment at the dark aura surrounding the room. She sighed, "Well then, let's get a move on." She watched as Hinata slid the screen doors open and bowed to her father before entering. Sakura did the same, except for the fact that she bowed lower.

"Pleased to meet you...Sakura-hime," Hiyashi Hyuuga said while bowing to Sakura.

Hinata gasped at her father's actions. He was HEAD of the Hyuugas. He NEVER bowed to ANYONE. For Hinata this was certinally a sight to see...well it was for ANY of the Hyuugas anyway. ...Wait. Did he just say -hime?! Now poor little Hinata was more confused than ever in her life.

Sakura smiled, "There is no need to bow."

"Ah. But you are a princess," came Hiyashi's reply. He came back up and made eye contact with Sakura. She was certinly not what he had expected. He expected someone who looked more like her mother. Someone with blond hair and brown eyes. Not Pink hair with apple green eyes!

Hinata blinked. She could NOT be seeing this! She had to be out of her mind!

"No your not, Hinata-chan," Sakura said facing Hinata.

"I'm not w-what?" Hinata asked. "What are you talking about Sakura-chan?"

"Hinata!" Hiyashi scolded at his daughter. "She is a princess, therefore be on you best behavior!"

"Hiyashi-san. It's fine. I actually perfer if you and the other call me Sakura-chan. Me being a princess is not yet known by the wold and I intend to keep it that way," Sakura said calmly and politely. "And to answer your question Hinata-chan, I can read your mind." Sakura stayed calm and acted as if this sort of thing happened to her everyday. ((AS IF! I'd totally be with Hinata on this one!))

Hinata's legs gave in and she fell to the floor. Sakura gasped and helped her back up and over to the table where her father was sitting. Neji also entered the room at this time and sat on the right of Sakura who was on Hinata's right and faceing the opposite direction of Hiyashi. "Can we please start from the begining? Sakura being a princess I mean," Hinata asked her father. The Sakura news was still sinking in.

"That's why I called all three of you here actually."

"Eh?" Sakura said while tilting her head. Don't tell me I'm going to find out something too!

"Kabuto dropped off these scrolls around noon today, while the three of you were still at school," Hiyashi stated while pulling out two scrolls from his kimono-like robe.

"Kabuto? Do you mean Kabuto Haruno?!" Hinata asked in a voice louder than she usually talked.

"Ah."

"Big brother was here?" Sakura said with a huge smile on her face, it showed how much she loved her older brother.

"Ah," Hiyashi answered again. If this continued her would never get to the subject written on the scrolls.

"Y-you mean to say that Sakura-san is Princess of the Fire country?" Neji stuttered. ((HA! well you definitly don't see that everyday now do ya, folks?))

"And water," Sakura simply stated.

She rules half the world?! Hinata and Neji thought, both wide-eyed.

"Alright. Now just read what's on the scrolls," Hiyashi said impaitently while handing the scrolls over to our beloved princess.

"Finally! I've been wanting to read these since I was a little girl!" Sakura cried overfilled with joy. These were the same scrolls that her mother had forbidden her to read.

Flashback:

A seven year old Sakura was found wondering the insides of the Haruno Castle alone.

"What are these?" Sakura asked herself, out loud, while grabbing a green scroll and a red scroll off the bottom shelf in the library. "I've never seen these before..." Just as Sakura was about to open the scrolls and read their contents a very firm hand was found ontop of hers.

"Sakura, what are you doing with these?" Her mother, Queen Tsunade, asked the seven year-old.

"I was going to read them mommy," Sakura replied innocently.

"You can read them when it is time, dear."

"When will that be mommy?"

"Soon dear," Tsunade said while taking away the scrolls and walking towards her office. "Too soon..."

End Flashback

Sakura opened the scrolls with great care, knowing that they wre her mother's. After reading the first line she let out a gasp and a shriek that was unknown to the world...until now anyways.

WOW! I think that that was the longest chapter that I've written so far! I would love to have your reviews. Thank you!
