Sasuke Part 1

"Sasuke?" I hesitantly said in a soft voice. Everyone here seemed intimidating but him. Even though he has all those scars he seems nice.

"Oh no…" the man Saizo grumbled.

"Jeez…" Kotaro sighed. I didn't know what they meant until Sasuke jumped on me and hugged me so tight that I was not able to breathe.

"This is awesome!" he yelled so happily like a child. "You won't regret it princess! I will protect you with my body and soul." I wasn't able to say anything to him but stare uncomfortably at his happy face.

"...okay?" I said trying to push him away gently without using my monster strength. He didn't budge and tried harder but I couldn't even get an inch off. Finally Hanzo pulled him off and forced him to bow.

"Sorry for his behavior, princess." Hanzo bowed as well.

"Oh no, it's fine, it's fine!" I said. I have never been around another man besides my grandfather before. I feel so nervous I could die!

"Shall we go princess!" Sasuke smiled brightly at me. "The earlier we leave the faster we can spend time together!"

"What!" I said. Hanzo hits Sasuke on the back of his head and told at him.

"Sorry, I meant the faster we get to our destination!" he corrected himself.

"Do you really want this failure of a ninja?" Saizo asked.

"Hey!" Sasuke shouted and looked like he was about to fight Saizo.

"Sasuke! Take the princess and go!" Hanzo ordered.

"Yes, sir!" he got all serious but had an arm around my shoulders. I said goodbye to Grandfather one last time and bowed to the other ninjas. Finally, we left for our adventure to Iga.

I don't how long we walked but we ended near a river. Sasuke quickly made a camp faster than any person I have ever seen. It was amazing in two minutes he had a fire and a bed to lay on mad of fallen leaves. But I noticed there was only one like of leaves.

"Sasuke, why is there only one bed?" I asked as he got comfortable on it. Suddenly he pulls me close to him and I ended up on top of him.

"It gets cold at night so I decided to sleep with you so you don't get sick!" he smiled as he gently touched my hair. "Unless...you would like to do something else instead!"

"Sasuke!" I blushed hard and looked away. I have never had anyone say that to me before. I didn't know how even react to it.

"I'm just kidding! I would never do something that you wouldn't like." he became earnest in a heartbeat and looked at me with serious eyes. "I am here for you and if you find something unpleasant than I will do something to fix it! Ninjas honor!" he smiled kindly putting a hand over his heart.

"Ninjas honor!" I began to laugh. "Is there really something like that?"

"Of course there is! It's an important rule for ninjas!" he pouted.

"Thank you, Sasuke." I smiled at him as I thanked him. He blushed and looked away and forced my head onto his chest.

"Just go to sleep!" he said with his voice cracking. I giggled and relaxed in his arms. "You're so warm...more than the fire I made." he whispered. Only if he knew what I was then it would have been easier to be around him. I didn't have to hide or lie or do anything to hurt him. I don't understand why I felt that way towards him. I've lied and hid and lied again countless times. If word gets out about what I am then it's a hunt for my head. I don't want anyone to get involved and since I am a princess I have to be one. Letting this out of the bag will be the end of me. With that in mind I barely slept. There is too much at stake and with one misjudgement, it could be the end.

The end of everything.

…..

The next morning we walked down the river because Sasuke as I that the river leads to Iga. It is far but following it will quicker than creating our own path. We are running out of time because of Nobunaga's evil plan of ninja genocide.

We walked for hours until we found some log to sit. Sasuke told me to sit here while he fishes. Less than five minutes he has ten fishes on sticks and roasts them on a open fire.

"We are going to need lots of energy so eat up!" Sasuke but into fish roasted fish. He had four fishes in his hand and had a face of a child has he ate with pure bliss. I couldn't help but laugh at him. He truly does have a peculiar personality. "Wow, you sure eat a lot, Princess! You've already ate six!"

I didn't understand what he meant. When I looked down I saw that I have ate all the fish, bones and all. I didn't even notice that I was that hungry.

"I'm sorry! Should I get you fish this time?" I said getting up.

"No, it is alright." he smiled kindly and went back to the river. No matter how many he caught I still kept stuffing them down. I decided to lie and say that I was full after my fifteenth one.

We kept walking but I felt uneasy. I felt my stomach rumble though I ate so much fish. I started to worry but not to worry Sasuke I kept quiet. The more we walked the hungrier I got. The wanting of meat came over and the feeling of the tenderness made me famished for it. Fear was growing and I couldn't stop. Meat became less of pork and more of human or my own kind. I had to stab one of my talons into my arm and dig into my skin to stop thinking there horrid thoughts. When I saw the blood on my arm I began to lick and suck but I couldn't stop so I clawed my leg.

"Everything okay?" Sasuke asked when he looked behind him to look at me.

"I'm fine!" I'm not fine…' He shrugs and continues to walk ahead of me.

'There is something wrong with me.' I thought as I slowly walked behind him lost in my hideous thoughts.
