Yay! Thanks for the positive reviews for the last chapter! ^^ sorry if its a bit short...

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the plot of Swan princess but I do own the characters Hishikiro, Kazuki and Toshiaki.

Sasuke jumped on a nearby black and white horse and rode off into the pouring rain. He made the horse go into a gallop. Soon enough, he found the wreckage of the Haurno's. He immediately jumped off and ran towards the motionless figure of Queen Mebuki. He gently picked up her head and placed it in his lap.

'Mebuki-hime! What are you alright?' Sasuke asked, fear in his eyes. But the Queen only mumbled unsaid words, her lips moving but no words actually coming out. She stopped short and started sobbing hysterically. Sasuke laid her head back down and went over to King Kizashi. Kizashi had his eyes slightly parted. Sasuke ripped a piece of cloth from his shirt and applied pressure to an opened wound on Kizashi's chest. His fingers soon became wet and sticky with blood.

'What... Who did this to you?' asked Sasuke, his voice filled with determination to slay whatever did this.

'A monster! But it's not what it seems!' stuttered Kizashi, closing his eyes. 'It's... not... what it... seems...' and with those final words, King Kizashi fainted from exhaustion. Sasuke rushed over to the second carriage which still contained the two Princes'. But no Sakura. His blossom was gone. He reached in and grabbed a golden piece of jewellery. A small locket. He enclosed it within his palms and a tear streamed down his face.

'Sasuke...' Toshiaki gasped, his arm reaching out towards the black haired man. Sasuke's eyes widened his horror at the sight of Toshiaki. The young prince was covered in blood and was pinned under the carriage. The young prince chuckled but abruptly stopped when a wave of pain came over him.

'They took her.' Toshiaki sighed. 'They took... her.'

'Who? And what?' urged Sasuke but Toshiaki had already fainted. Sasuke ran over to Hishikiro, who was the furthest from them all. He was up the road, lying in the mud, a small pool of blood surrounding his calf. His white hair was stained with the red of his blood. Sasuke knelt down. Hishikiro's eyes were scanning the horizon-covered woods.

'SAKURA!' Sasuke yelled as he raised his head to the crying heavens above. He slammed his fists against a nearby tree, knocking the tree down. A steady stream of rain mixed with tears flowed down the Uchiha's cheek.

A beautiful, elegant swan touched down on a lake. The water rippled as she swan swam around the lake. She stopped short at a reflection of the full moon. The swan was suddenly covered by a wave of rippling water. From the water, Princess Sakura emerged. She walked out of the lake and onto the shore.

'Sakura. My dear Sakura! You look as beautiful as ever!' Kazuki cooed as she walked pass him. Sakura gave Kazuki the evil stare. The evil young man licked his lips much like his father. Kazuki had really grown up since their last meeting ten years ago. Kazuki was very handsome and had the exact same eyes as his fathers, snake like and creepy. His skin was pale but not paper white and his raven hair was cut off at his shoulders.

'I can't believe you kidnapped me! I thought you were my friend!' cried Sakura. Kazuki sidled up to the princess and started kissing her neck. Sakura gasped, backed away from Kazuki and slapped him full in the face. Kazuki was surprised. He looked at Sakura and chuckled evily. Sakura ran away from the young man.

'You can run! But remember this! Once the sun comes up over the horizon, you will be swan once more! And you can't turn back into a human unless you are here on this lake with the moon shinning on you!'

The words hit Sakura like a ton of bricks. She fell to the ground in shock, put her face in her hands and cried. Kazuki had a mix of feelings inside of him. He was overjoyed that he finally had his darling one true love Sakura within his grasp but his heart ached every time he saw her cry. He turned on his heels and walked to a castle.

'Oto-san, I am home. KARIN! Prepare dinner!' ordered Kazuki, yelling into the chamber's above. The red haired woman jumped down the stairs and snarled at Kazuki. Kazuki casually whistled and stuck his foot out, making the hag trip and fall down the stairs into the chamber below.

'Kazuki. Does our princess know about our deal yet?' a sickenly voice asked. Kazuki turned around and shook his head. Orochimaru chuckled lightly.

'No worried. I shall tell her first thing in the morning. But now son let's eat!'

'Lee, I don't think it's a very good idea.' Kakashi the turtle said, turning to the crazed frog. Lee sighed and faced Kakashi.

'How will I ever get Sakura to kiss me if I do not get those flowers?!' demanded Lee, raising a very bushy eyebrow. Kakashi shook his head, unable to understand this logic.

'You are going to kill yourself.' Warned Kakashi, pointing a finger to the frog. There was a moat surrounding the castle and it was filled with purple snakes. They snapped their mouth impatiently, waiting for their snack.

Lee was attaching reeds together to form a long pole. He thought that if he could get the pink flowers that grew on the side of the castle that Sakura would kiss him and that he would turn into prince.

Lee attached the last reed and placed it in front of a rock. He shook his hips, practising his jump. He took a few paces back and started running forward. He thrust the pole in front of a rock but dangled for a second in front of Kakashi.

'Hey, how will you get back?' Kakashi asked casually. Lee's eyes grew in realisation and he tried to go back down. Too late. He was flung across the moat and was aimed right into the mouth of a snake.

'WAHHHH!'
