He slowly made his way to the Royal throne room with one hand in his pocket while the other holding the speech that prepared for the coming occasion. He was one of those people who were completely trusted in the kingdom just like Tenten. He eyes were now half shut and all he wanted to do was jump in his cozy bed and spend the rest of his life sleeping. He shook his head, trying to get the sleep that had conquered his eyes out but he knew very well that even a whole bucket of icy cool water wouldn't help. He sighed at the thought and quietly continued making his way to the throne room. As he reached his destination, a yawn made his way and he his eyes became watery. He needed to sleep and fast. He gave a knock on the huge ebony doors and waited a couple of seconds as the guards opened the doors and allowed him to make his way inside. He stepped inside and his dark eyes landed on a familiar figure, he knew who it was so he walked towards it and gave a slight bow.
"Your highness, I have prepared the Royal speech you asked for" Shikamaru said, still in the same bowing posture and his eyes closed.
Silence
"Your highness?" the strategist repeated but there was still no reply. He looked up only to find a sleeping Itachi. Shikamaru sweat dropped and kept his eyes locked with the figure of the sleeping Prince. He had both his legs crossed, one on the other and his right arm rested on the chair handle while the other was placed under his cheek as his elbow was standing on the chair handle with its support. It was priceless, it wasn't everyday that anyone could see the almighty Prince sleeping on his throne. Shikamaru cleared his throat, trying to make a slight noise to wake the Prince up but it didn't work, he was in deep sleep. He did it again but louder this time.
Lost into the dream of women with beautiful eyes, Itachi snapped his black eyes open and almost fell from the Throne.
"HANA! I, I…..PROMISE I DIDN'T SLEEP WITH THAT BLONDE WOMAN IN THE ROYAL COURT!"
Silence
"Your highness, Lady Hana isn't here" Shikamaru said, slightly embarrassed and annoyed.
The moment Itachi's eyes landed on the strategist, a dark shade of red appeared across his cheeks. The great Prince Itachi was so scared of his wife that even when he dreamed, he would always have her bad side on his mind. He cleared his throat and settled himself in his chair, feeling a huge lump of awkwardness in his body. His eyes couldn't meet Shikamaru's gaze and the shade of red was still visible on his pale face.
'Oh God, he was sleeping, he is the Prince for crying out loud and he was sleeping, WHY COULDN'T I BE THE DARN PRINCE?' Shikamaru let his headfill up with similar thoughts.
"S-S-Shikamaru…ahem…..W-What brings you here?" Itachi asked, completely shocked at the way he stuttered. He kept on fidgeting and had no idea what he just did.
"Well, your highness I was just here to hand over the speech you asked me to prepare for tomorrow's event" Shikamaru said as he presented the speech to Itachi.
"Oh….very good…..just what I would expect from our best strategist" Itachi appreciated. Shikamaru handed the Prince his speech and gave another short bow.
"If there is nothing else, I'll be leaving now Sire" Shikamaru said, now dying with the urge to sleep or watch the clouds.
"Yes, yes of course, thank you" Itachi said as he looked at the speech.
Shikamaru silently started walking away towards the Royal doors and quietly thanked God that he was free.
"Ummm…..S-Shikamaru?" Itachi said as he swallowed his saliva that he had been holding for quiet a while now. Shikamaru turned to look at the Prince.
"Yes, your highness?"
"Ummm, the whole…..sleeping with a blonde thing……can you keep…..it to yourself?" Itachi stuttered.
With a deep sigh Shikamaru nodded, "Don't worry your highness, Lady Hana will not know a thing"
'What a drag…….'
"Yes….Thank you Shikamaru" Itachi thanked as he scratched the back of his head.
Shikamaru turned back towards the door and successfully made it out this time, he couldn't be more thankful to the Gods. Itachi one the other hand had not expected his sudden outburst, he was still embarrassed and couldn't help but let his mind graze the last time he had such an outburst and the worst part was that it was in front of his beloved wife, he couldn't get the beating that she gave him after that out of his mind. He stayed in bed for two whole days. He could feel his skin getting cold and sweaty.
"I need to control myself" He mumbled to himself.
At this point only one think grazed his mind.
Hana is one heck of a woman.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
True, it was very hot in Konoha but now that autumn had made its way, things were much better now. Kohana was a born beauty but one thing that always got in her way was her hair, sure they were beautiful but just like her they couldn't bare strong heat since the day she had arrived in Konoha, she was advised not to expose her hair in the burning sun. Yanathree was a cool place and it would snow every two to four months but here in Konoha, snow was not that common, it would luckily arrive in December or so. Even when she had arrived, she had to cover her hair with hat.
She had thought about this and made sure she would expose her real beauty once she is in the same bed as Sasuke and that's when she would actually start liking this hell. The only she would take her hat off was when she was in her room or with Hana some place cool, otherwise she would cover herself up perfectly. She made sure every inch of her skin was perfectly preserved. She was walking in the hallways now, looking at the arrangements, finally given up on her search for her future husband, she was tired and frustrated. So get read of that mood of hers, she had decided to look around and examine all the arrangements.
They were perfect, everything was exactly like she dreamed and this was one of those dreams that were meant to come true.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
He closed his eyelids, feeling the warm heat seeping deeper, touching his veins and spreading in his bones. It felt so good and so warm. This continued for another ten minutes when suddenly, the heat disappeared leaving the once conquering coldness behind. He slowly lifted his eyelids up and glanced at his arm.
"Try and move it"
He moved his arm up and down and clenched his fists.
"I suppose its fine now, you should try to stay alive till tomorrow." The voice spoke again
He looked up and nodded as he silently got up from the wooden chair and made his way to the door.
"Sasuke!" The woman called again and at this he stopped and looked back at her.
"Are you ready for this?" she asked
Silence
"I asked you something!" she shouted
"I am" he said making it as simple as possible
"Well, by the looks of it, you can't get the situation out of your mind, can you?" she asked with a smirk on her face clearly knowing that she hit the right spot.
"I am leaving" he said as he started walking towards the door once again.
"Do not turn you back on me, you may be the Prince but I am still one of the Kingdom's elders and this decision was made by my agreement." He growled as she stood up and banged her hands on the desk in front.
Silence
"Let me one thing clear, if you and that absurd attitude of yours hurts the kingdom or the Princess herself in any way there will be severe consequences, do you understand?" she shouted from the top of her lungs.
"Hn" he replied
"I'll take that as a yes, now you may leave" she said, calming herself down.
Without another word he left the room and didn't look back. She was frustrated and very tired but what angered her most was Sasuke's attitude towards everything and everyone. She feared that this personality of his would one day end up getting him hurt and also the people around him; he needed to learn that not everyone was the same. The world consisted of different people and he must learn to deal with them. She rubbed her temples with her index fingers and closed her eyes trying to get her mind straight. She was lost in her thoughts when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" she said
"Master Tsunade, the simulation had taken place, would you like to look at the injured ones yourself?" a voice said.
"Oh yeas, I'll be right there, Shizune, I want you to prepare the repots for the patients, clear?" Tsunade asked
"Yes master"
She got up from her desk and followed her assistant to where the injured ones were.
'When will I get some rest?'

He jumped from one tree to the other as swiftly as possible. His legs obeyed his every command and he was close now. He stood one branch as he reached for the map in his pocket. He unfolded it and after looking once at the directions, he placed it back in pocket. Instead of following the directions he glanced at the muddy path just in front of him, the map said he needed to go right but let's just say he wasn't the type to follow rules. He followed the muddy path, knowing that he will reach his destination soon.

"Really? I love it too, I think it's the best" Tenten cheered while Hinata agreed
"H-have you been t-to Elvedere?" Hinata asked
"No, I haven't, I have never been outside of Konoha, though I wish I did, I love travelling" Tenten replied
"Well, I-I have been t-to many places, N-Neji likes travelling too and because we are cousins and Father had also made him in charge of m-my security, so h-he takes m-me to many places." Hinata said
"Wow, your so lucky, I don't have anyone here to take me somewhere" Tenten said
"Don't you have a family?"
"Tch, if I did I would have a more respectable job, not that I'm complaining"
"Oh, I-I see, why don't y-you get married? Hinata asked with a faint smile
Tenten looked at her and then fell off the bed with her laughter, its funny but lately she had been laughing a lot. God must love her. Hinata looked at her in complete confusion. The brunette quickly got up and settled herself.
"You're kidding, right?" Tenten asked. Still giggling a little
"N-not really" Hinata replied
"Hey, let me make one thing clear, I am not that kind of girl who dreams about her Prince charming and who is always imagining her weeding, in fact I never want to get married, I know I know what you going to ask me next and my answer is yes, I do want kids but there are other ways of getting them" Tenten said
Hinata blushed and covered her mouth in disgust about what Tenten just said. The brunette looked at the black haired Princess in confusion and raised her eye brow when suddenly she realizes what she just said. She quickly covered her own mouth and looked at Hinata again
"No, no, that not what I meant!" Tenten clarified, "What I meant was that I can adopt children, sheeeesh, you have a dirty mind" she teased while Hinata sighed in relief.
The door swing open and in came the royal Earl of Shampoorella!
Both girls looked at the intruder and the blush was still on their faces because of the conversation they had about kinds, he looked at them with confusion written in his eyes, his eyes grazed the figure of the brunette and knowing that she was still present in the room pissed him.
"Your still here, I see" he said not looking at her.
"Yes, I am, glad you noticed" she remarked
Both of them looked at each other with pure disgust, to Hinata, this seemed like a cowboy play where two cowboys look at each other in the middle of a desert and slowly reach for their guns and there is funny music behind the seen.
"Hinata, I hope our little guest here, didn't try to hurt you" Neji said sill looking at Tenten, it wasn't a question or a remark but it was a clear taunt
When Hinata was ready to answer, Tenten interrupted.
"Oh yeah, I raped her really bad, I am a woman who likes raping women and I am also accused for child molestation, got a problem with that?" Tenten said with sarcasm dripping from every word of her sentence. Neji looked at her in shock and disgust while Hinata covered her mouth as extreme laughter was making its way.
"You are an insane woman" Neji said with wide eyes
"And you are the Earl of Shampoorella!" she retorted back, with a serious look
"I am not!"
"Are to"
"Am not"
"Are to"
"I hate you!" Neji said as he gritted his teeth
"Oh but I love you!" Tenten said with sarcasm
"You are going to pay for this, Miss….Miss..aaa…..a.a." Neji stopped realizing that he didn't know her name
"Tenten's the name, don't forget it!" she said as she got up
"Well Tenten, I am….."
"Did I ask for your name?" Tenten teased
Neji looked at her with pure anger and at that moment he never felt the urge to kill someone this bad.
"Well did I?" she asked again as he shook his head
"That's a good boy, now go play with your little shampoo bottle and make sure it doesn't go in your eyes" and with that she waved at Hinata and gave a flying kiss to Neji who worsened the look of disgust on his face, with that she made her way and went outside the door. Small giggles from Hinata could be easily heard and he twitched at the sound.
"I hate her!" he said
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
"He did that?" Sakura asked in complete amazement
"Huh….that was nothing, one time, we went to a ball that was held in the Kingdom of Weldan, there we met some of the Princesses of other Kingdoms, one of them was a black haired one with beautiful sky blue eyes. I severe he was getting so annoying, he wouldn't get eyes off her, when she tried flirting with him, he did the same and that when I got pissed, I didn't say anything to him during the event but when we got back to our chambers, I beat the bloody pulp out of him and didn't talk to him for three whole days. He kept on apologizing and even though I know he just does that for teasing me and having his fun and I know that he would never cheat on me, I still wouldn't budge and made him eat broccolis for a whole week. Once Itachi was walking with this really pretty girl, he kept on teasing me, saying that she was the prettiest girl had ever met, he kept on bragging but I didn't react. He got furious at my nonreactive form; I know he wanted me to yell at him or beat him and create a scene but I wasn't going to give him what he wanted, and I had my own teasing to do. So after trying a million times, he got mad and started yelling asking me to slap him, I just smirked and slapped him so hard that his cheek remained red for the next whole month, public appearances were out of question." Hana said as she giggled at the memories.
Sakura laughed so hard that her belly started aching.
"But tell me what he does when you get mad?" She asked as she placed her hand on her belly and controlled her laughter.
"Well, he would be extremely Lovey dovey at night and hold me close to his warm body even though I struggle, I know that his grip is far too strong for me, he would nuzzle his head in my neck and say romantic things in my ear, well I am not really the type who would Kiss and Tell but its just so sweet of him, he would gently plant kisses on my face and my neck until I moan out his name, one time he even wrote a poem" Hana said
"Really?"
"Yes, I memorized it, it was suppose to be a romantic poem but it ended out to be something I haven't figured out yet" Hana sweat dropped at the thought, "He got down on one knee and said the poem"
"You have memorized it right? So tell me!" Sakura said as she looked at Hana
"Okay"
"One day I was walking, in the middle of the day,
There I saw a monster,
Who lived in Norway,
Walking, walking, walking,
In the middle of the day,
The monster was quite selfish,
He said, "OOOHHHH GO AWAY!"
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LOLI LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LAAA LA LAAAAA!"
Sakura looked at Hana in disbelief and Hana mimicked her actions but with a smile on her face
Silence
The two girls burst out laughing like maniacs, unable to breathe. They fell down as they tried controlling themselves but failed miserably, they laughed so hard that they were sure they were going to die, Sakura had tears in her eyes with all the hard laughing while Hana rolled on the floor and as she held Sakura's arm as if her life was depending on it.
"You *pant* can't be *pant* serious?" Sakura said
"Oh *pant* I have *pant* never *pant**pant* been more serious!" Hana replied
The two girls kept laughing until they finally managed to stand up and straightened themselves.
"That poem, didn't even have the word 'Sorry' in it" Sakura said
"I said the same thing and all he said was that it took him five whole hours to write it, he loves it so much that he got it framed and now its hanging in our bedroom but I silently placed it in the bathroom, heck, even the man who framed it couldn't come to work for the next four day, his wife said he got a sprain in his back as he feel down laughing." Hana explained.
"I mean seriously Hana, that poem isn't even romantic, it's about a monster who tells him to go away and that it, it ends there" Sakura said
"I know, and that day I figured the biggest truth of Itachi's life" Hana said with a very serious expression as she moved her eyes down on the floor. Sakura noticed this and her smile wiped away as she printed the same expression.
"And what was that?" Sakura asked as she placed her hand above her chest.
"Well…." Hana stuttered a little, "I got to know that, MY HUSBAND IS THE WORST POET IN THE WORLD!" Hana screamed
The series of laughter never ended after that!

Only a few hours were left and no one knew what would take place after these hours were over.
