Chapter Ten: Saved
Walking in as............
Sakura saw the door opened up, and step in was the person that she loved walked in. Neji walked into the room, he saw his to be bride to him, racing towards her. He scooped her up into his arms and hugged her with all his might.
"Sakura, you okay?" he asked.
"Neji, he ...
"No, did he do something to you?" Neji asked in a gentle voice.
"No he tried but his brother interrupted before he could, but Sasuke twisted my ankle very badly." Sakura replied.
"Thank god that he didn't." He said as he hugged her again.
"Neji thanks "Sakura whispered as she hugged him back.
"We got to get going and now, Sakura they could come back and I can't protect you against two people. Let's go," Neji replied.
When he walked over to the door, opening it up, he looks at outside to see if anyone was in the halls seeing no one, he raced towards the right side to the castle, down the halls, and a few stairs wells, within the middle of the castle, he stopped when he heard footsteps within the left and right hallways, going behind a pillar with Sakura who was very quite now.
"Sorry sir we can't find him at all." A voice said.
"What! He could be within the castle, and take back her. She will be my brother's wife." A man voice's called out.
"Yes sir, we can find him and kill him," the voice said again.
"If he was her, get her back and bring to my room and lock the door, tied her down to the bed." The man's voice called out.
When Neji and Sakura heard the footsteps walk away from their hiding spot, as Neji looks around the pillar to the area where the two people were talking, seeing no one in this area and no more footsteps going away, Neji slowly walks out of hiding and down the hallways again, to a large door in the back of the castle.
"Sakura, you okay?" Neji asked.
"Yes." She answered as they went through the door and into the back yard for the castle.
Walking on the sides of the walls, Neji keeps a look out for the sound soldiers that are looking for them, seeing no one yet, he moves with swiftly and quickly to the long iron doors at the back.
"Neji where are we going? I hope away from here." Sakura asked.
"To my castle," He replied as he looks over his shoulder again.
After they got through the gates, he looks to his right then left and racing towards the hillside in front of them. When he got to the other side, he sees his horse and a few soldiers waiting for him.
"Good, general Tao, Ming and Fa take over the war and defeat them soon; I will be back in a one or so." He ordered them as he got Sakura on the horse, climbing up after her, he pushing his horse forward and down the path to home.
Hours later, Sakura fell asleep against Neji's chest, as he rode on. When daybreak was coming, Sakura woke up to see Neji's castle in the distance.
"It's beautiful in the sunlight," Sakura replied.
"It is," Neji replied as he patted his horse in the ribs, making it go faster to the castle.
When they came across the castle main gate, Sakura look at Neji face, she signed and thought about her life before the castle and at the castle. Until a road block came into her mind and memories, she wondered what was going on. But said nothing about it, as she placed her head on his chest and signed into it.
"Prince Neji and Princess Sakura are back," a holler was heard.
"Neji who the princess?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura that would be you because you are marrying me and I'm the prince that would make you a princess," He replied as he looks down at her.
"Milord," a voice called to the right side.
"Yes," he said sternly.
"May I take your horse?" he asked.
"Yes, you may, hold it still." Neji replied as he gives the reins to the man.
When he got off from the horse, picking up Sakura after he did and walked into the castle main doors opening them up. Neji paced in and called of a servant to get Tsunade to looks over Sakura wounds.
"Milord what can I do for you?" Tsunade asked as she came down the steps.
"Sakura ankle and any part of her body, bye love," he said as he presses his lips against hers for a small kiss.
"Yes Milord," Tsunade replied as she took Sakura from his arms and into hers, walking back up the steps and down the right corridor. To her medic room, she places Sakura down and heals her ankle and started to look over her body from any kind of injury and bruise, but when she came to her head. Tsunade gasped in shocked as what she found.
"Sakura wait right in this room until I came back," Tsunade replied as she raced out the doors without Sakura reply.
With Neji
He gallop back to his generals to take over the battle and the war, he had hoped it won't come to this but both sound's Prince's were like their father and mother, twisted in the minds and hearts. Neji heard the first bell from the battle field; he patted his horse to go faster now.
Soon he was at the battle field with his general bowing to him as he strolled by with his horse and look on to the battle his soldiers were fighting very well and were killing the enemy fast and swiftly until sound's secondary arm came from the right side and left. Where did they get all those soldiers from came to Neji's mind as his generals started going to the battle. Within hours, Neji had to call a retreat back to the boarders between Konoha and Sound.
His men raced towards that area, with him at the rear stopping all enemy soldiers from killing his men off. Leaving a battle field just with dead bodies, covered with blood and sword, arrows and many more kinds of weapons on the field.
"Neji we need to think smart now, Gather Shikamaru Nara, he can help with tactics, he is in Konoha village not too far from here and his family is in debt to yours. " General Fa replied talking to Neji while he bowed to him.
"Good send a messenger to get him and be back by tomorrow at sunset," Neji ordered his men.
With Sound armies
"My prince's we got them on the retreat." A general said.
"But you let my bride get away Shin," Sasuke raged on as he looks deathly at his brothers general.
"My sincere apologies my prince," he replied as the general look at the ground.
"Get her back from them now," Itachi calmly said.
"Yes milord," Shin said as he stood up and walked out of the throne room and down the halls.
With Tsunade
As she raced into the large and vast library, she went to the area that she knew where the answers to her questions were. Looking for a few moments, she found that book that she was looking for, taking out a large book; she looks through the old and aged papers of the book. Within a few moments later, she came across what she was looking for and wondered why someone would do that to someone like Sakura. The problem was that the book said that a parent had to do the sealing but it didn't say it needed that to unseal it. Closing the book, Tsunade signed and went back to the room where Sakura is in waiting for her.
With the Messenger
As he rode on, he came across the small town that the Nara's lived in and went to the home where the young brilliant mind of Shikamaru.
"Who goes there?" a guard asked.
"A messenger from the Royal Highness Prince Neji," he replied. As the doors opened to him, he raced in and went to the side, dismounting his horse, he went to the door and knocked.
Within a few moments the door opened up, and he saw a servant bowing to him. "Come in, milord," as he did as the servant said, he walked into the room where the Nara's family was in.
"Shikamaru Nara you are here to come with me to Prince Neji at the war between Sound," He stated.
"Nothing but trouble, fine when do we leave," he replied back standing up from where he was.
"Tonight," the messenger said.
