Chapter 7: The Council
Back to Sakura's point of view
I don't know what it was, but this bed is so comfortable. It's so warm and firm and the purring is so soothing. Wait. Last time I checked, beds don't pur or snuggle into the crook of my neck. Is this person seriously spooning me? Oh HELL No. I peeked my eyes open to realize that we weren't at the coven's house anymore. It was Sasuke's medieval castle, and we were sharing the same bed, and he was spooning me. I looked over behind me slowly, for he wouldn't wake up. He looked so peaceful and less alpha like. His hair still looked like a chicken's butt, his expression free from arrogance, smirking, and his Sasuke-ness like bruh.
'Why does he still look hott even when sleeping' I frustratedly thought.
"I could feel you checking me out Sakura"
I jumped so quick when he said that. I didn't even know he was awake. That's when I fully got up and looked over at him still laying there with his eyes closed. His purring was gone and so was hi peaceful expression, it was back to smirking an arrogant smirk and Sasuke like attitude. Stupid lycan.
"When did you wake up?" I asked him
"The moment you tried to be slick and peep your eyes at me. Plus you snore and move to much in your sleep, it kept me up all night."
"I do not snore!" I yelled "And for your your information, no one told you to be sleeping with me and second of all this is coming from someone that purrs in his sleep"
That got his attention.
"Lycans don't purr Sakura"
He was now fully awake, eyes opened and everything. He had some bed hair going on behind him and he was shirtless. And I saw the abs. Fuck. I looked away immediately and tried to focus on anything else besides his delicious abs.
'Wait a minute" I thought "If he's shirtless then what.."
I looked down and I saw my nude bra and matching underwear. Thank God i put on something matching, but wait. How did I end up in my underwear. I looked over and found the culprit.
"You wanna explain to me why I am in my Bra and Underwear?" I asked. My tone was getting higher and angrier with each passing second.
"You strip on your own last night, you mumbled something about being too hot then you got cold and went next me"
I narrowed my eyes. "I don't believe you"
"I don't care if you don't believe me it's the truth."
"Oh yeah! Then truth this" I kicked him with my extra strength kicked. Let's just say he got re-acquainted with the wall.
"You know, in order to actually have a successful treaty you gotta not hit every time I do something. It's unbecoming. Also our people will think that you have rejected me as your alpha and mate. Mates are suppose to show affection and submission at all times" he asked annoyed. He was dusting off some of the dust from the wall.
"Who in the world came up with that mumbo jumbo?" I asked " That is some straight bull shit f you ask me"
"I didn't ask you and I'm telling you how it is. You need to show me more affection if this treaty is going to work."
I sighed "Alright I'll try. There's just one problem." I said
"And what's that?" he asked annoyed
I looked down and get a little nervous about telling him, but if he was going to be my future husband then I would have to fess up.
"I don't feel comfortable with showing affection to someone I don't love" I softly said
His expression changed from annoyed to void of emotions. He just stood there.
"Hn, annoying" he finally said. Let's just say this time he got acquainted with the table.
After that morning fiasco, Sasuke had to go to an important meeting with his elders. He said he needed their corporation and wisdom to help stop this war and spread peace upon the land. So here I am exploring the castle grounds and being nosy as per usual. I don't know how, but I ended up at the medical wing of the castle. I saw lycans of all ages wounded, sick, and hopeless.
"These are the survivors and refugees of the ongoing war"
I turned around and there was woman with short brown hair and gentle light hazel eyes. She had on a medical coat and regular nurse clothes with a nametag that said Rin on the right side of her chest. I looked at the injured lycans again and felt helpless. These people went through so much because of the war and I didn't know what I can do personally for them. This is one of the reasons I want this marriage to be successful to end situations like this.
I looked back the girl named Rin and asked "Is there anything I could do?" She seemed taken back, but nonetheless nodded and led me toward the front desk.
"I don't know what experience you have, but I'll need you to sign a couple forms for precautions and such" she said while gathering the paperwork. I looked over the room and saw it was filled with all types of patients and my determination to help these people became to much to handle.
"Oh, I completely forgot. I didn't get to introduce myself, My name is Rin Hatake. It's nice to meet you" she smiled. I had a feeling we were going to get along great.
"Sakura" I responded with a smile just as friendly
"Sakura, as in Princess Sakura, Sasuke's bride?" she asked incredulously.
I smiled sheepishly "Yeah that's the me"
"Oh I am so sorry your majesty I didn't know who you were and I didn't address you properly and -"
I cut her off quickly and raised my hands in shaking motion "No, no formalities and it's fine. I'm just like anyone else here in the castle. I'm here to help these people, soon to be m people. I'll do anything that I can" I then bowed "It would be an honor if you would show me around this place and show me the equipment. I promise I am more than capable of helping anyone in need"
"Your majesty, don't bo-"
"Just Sakura is fine, and I'll bow to anyone who is willing to help others"
"Alright, well let's get started your maje- I mean Sakura. We will be starting with the children. They have been having high fevers and foaming at the mouth. Like rabies, but necessarily rabies. My team and I have been trying to find a cure, but progress hasn't been going as I was hoping"
I nodded in understanding. Medicine in general was hard to do, but supernatural medicine was even more complex.
"Just show me the lab and I'll provide with whatever knowledge I can" I told her and off we went.
Sasuke's point of view.
I have never been more annoyed in my life and I've spent a good amount with the dobe and his loud mouth. This morning, Sakura had to kick me to the same wall she just damaged last night, and to the table. What was her problem? All I did was tell her the truth. Che Annoying girl.
'She looked beautiful this morning'
I stopped. I recognized that inner voice anywhere. My inner wolf, the alpha inside me.
'She looked cute' I conceded
'She will make an excellent mate and mother' the alpha replied.
'Hn' I thought back
I walked toward the double doors at the end of the hallway, where the elders were located. The council was made of 7 elders from different clan heads. Some were older than others and more annoying too.
'Let's just get this over with' I thought
The guards at the door bowed in submission before opening the door toward the grand war room. The place smelled of outside mixed with old people. Not a pleasant smell for my nose whatsoever.
" Why did you call for me?" I asked.
One of the elders, Kiyoshi responded "Uchiha's always straight to the point without proper manners. Didn't your mother ever teach you anything.
I growled at her. No one speaks about my mother. No one.
"Now Kiyoshi, that it is no way to speak to the boy in that manner. He's young and has a lot to learn. Let him be." replied elder Sarutobi. He always had a smoking pipe in his hand and was very level headed in these meetings.I always could tolerate him.
"I'll ask again, why was my presence needed?" I asked impatiently
"We needed to discuss the wedding and your bride to be" replied Danzo. Another elder of the council. I never knew why father kept him in the council, besides military history, he serves no purpose, but to be irrelevant and out of hand.
"What of my bride?"
"She's a vampire, what other things must be said" Danzo replied
I got angry. "What does my bride being a vampire have to do with anything?" I spat at him
"We believe that she will cause chaos from the inside out, starting with you my Lord" This time Daichi responded.
These elders are getting on my last nerves. Worst than the dobe on Ramen Day in the village.
"She is no threat to our people if that is where you're getting at. You forget that her people are in this war to. If she fails, her people and coven will fall with her. As their princess, I doubt that would be her intentions." I told them.
"Although that may be a possibility. You forget that it is her brother ruling the coven not her. She's just a liability in this matter. A puppet if you wi-"
I cut her off. "Finish that sentence and you will be exiled elder Kiyoshi"
"She seems to be getting to you already" Eiji butted in.
All of a sudden, the door opened. I looked behind me and Lord and behold. The general and my perverted sensei with his damn orange book.
"Sorry, I'm late, there was a cat and I-"
"This is no time for your lies Kakashi. We are discussing the future of the lycans and you take it as if it is a joke. Preposterous!" yelled another elder.
"All of you talk as if you know the girl" Kakashi replied
"We don't need to, she's a vampire there's no need for more information" Eiji said stubbornly
Kakashi seemed unfazed by his outburst, but instead responded with this
"For a vampire and apparently an enemy of the council she seems to be doing a great service for us."
That intrigued me and the rest of the council.
"Explain yourself General" snapped Danzo
"I was just visiting my wife in the medical wing of the castle and there was this cute-" I growled at him
"Vampire," he finished "Helping to heal our own people. I even overheard her say to my wife that they would become her people and it would be an honor to heal them"
I swelled with pride of my future mate. Not only is she stubborn and beautiful she is selfless and loving to all supernatural beings. I looked over to the council they did not looked please with this bit of information. I smirked.
"If that doesn't silence your doubt, nothing will," I said to them "Let this be a warning to you councilmen, if anything were to happen to Sakura for any reason it will be on your heads" I said "Do I make myself clear?!"
"Perfectly" snapped Kiyoshi
With that I left, Kakashi following toe.
"That was quite a show wouldn't you say Sasuke?"
"I don't trust them"
"The council was never made to be trusted rather they were formed for war, not to be a permanent thing."
"Hn, they have been in their seats long enough it's time for new councilmen to take over."
"That's pretty bold, even for a Uchiha, Sasuke."
"I don't care, they threatened Sakura therefore threatening me and the treaty. Those old bags can't see past their prejudice against the vampires. These are newm time Kakashi. It's time they realized that."
Okay here's chapter 7. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did writing it while eating Jimmy Johns. Remember to comment, review, and don't be an ass. See yah
