xoxoxox I'm Back! I am officialy back and on an updating mission so I hope you haven't forgotten about me and the story. Enjoy!xoxoxoxox

Sakura stood from the bed. she looked at her brother. He was so young and he had no idea what was going to happen. His innocence shone in his bright blue eyes. She would only steal that precious innocence from him if she told him. She couldn't, yet she would have to. Soon.

Sakura bowed her head down so her eyes were covered by her bangs. She clenched her fists at her sides and straighted her back. She was determined to keep him as pure as long as she could. She never wanted to taint him and she knew that her presece would only do that.

"One day you will understand. One day you will look at me with a new light and that light may not be bright. One day you will grow up to know secrets that were meant to be kept from you. One day you will knock me down from the pedistal that you put me on and that day will not come as a shock to me. I will always love you no matter what you come to think of me one day. One day , Ryou, one day." Sakura raised her eyes to meet his. Still innocent.

Sakura raised her hand to touch his face but let it fall to his head. Ryou's eyes widened and the next moment he felt a breeze sweep through the room. She was gone.

Downstairs the gang was waiting for their leader. The clicking of heels alerted them to her. She was coming down the spiral staircase with a grace, elegance and command that she always possesed. They had never seen her so broken. Her emerald eyes were rimmed red, cheeks flushed, nose pink but most of all her eyes held something. It was almost as if she was defeated and knew it. Sakura had accepted that she lost.

"Where is she?" Sakura stopped infront of her friends and asked them simply.

"She's in the room over there with everyone else." Naruto gave. None of them wanted to tell her. They knew that this encounter had caused her pain. They knew this was going to scar her for her life and this time the wound wouldn't heal.

Sakura nodded and glidded past them. Sasuke watched as his girlfriend, his best friend, went to face the woman who haunted her dreams and memories. The woman who could take her from him and never let him have her back. Sakuke grit his teeth and clenched his fists. It doesn't have to be her.


Sakura pushed the doors open. All heads in the room turned to her. The only face that was unaffected was her grandmothers.

"I still have a year. In that year I will continue to live as I do and will find someone to marry of my choice. I will assume the throne and make sure you have no more control." Sakura spoke with an edge in her voice. The tone was that of hate and misery.

"Very well. But I can see in your eyes that there is something else you have to say. Speak then." Her grandmother spoke with ease. Her granddaughter's words held little interest to her.

"Ryou is to remain innocent. He will know nothing of this or any encounters we have. He is to know nothing and that will remain that way until i see fit for him to know." Sakura commanded.

"Is that a demand or request?"

"That's a demand. An order that will be followed." Sakura spoke with the authority of a Queen well beyond her years. This unnerved her grandmother and it showed. This made Sakura smirk. She turned on her heel and let the door swing shut after her.

"We're going home." Sakura ordered. Everyone stared at her. She was back.

"The dorm?" Tenten asked.

"No. Home. There are some things that need to be explained to Karin and Sai." At this everyone knew what she meant. She was going to reveal everything. Sakura was goin to open herself to Karin and Sai.


The group drove until they came to a rather large house. The lights from the window showed that there was someone home. Sasuke and Sakura parked the cars and got out. Sakura looked at the house softly. She had many memories in this house, both remarkable and tragic.

The moon shone down on the pinkett. Her strawberry hair gleamed in the light and swished in the wind. Her green eyes were sharp and observing as they searched the night. Her hips swayed in rhythm with her every step. Her heels clicked on the driveway.

Sasuke followed close behind her. He was followed by Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Neji, Tenten, Sai, and Karin in that order. He watched as she stepped to the door. He froze, stopping the others.

Sakura took a deep breath. This was it. It was now or never. God that was so cliche'. She raised a delicate finger and pressed the door bell. A few seconds later the door opened.

"Sakura?" Tsunade asked. her eyes went wide at the sight of her students on her doorstep.

"Hey mom. Can we come in?" Sakura smiled. That's right! Tsunade is her mom.

"Of course. What's this al about?" Tsunade had a feeling about what it was but wanted to double check.

"It's time that Sai and Karin know and that they understand what being around me could mean to them." So she had thought right. Tsunade stepped to the side to let the teens inside. They all followed soundlessly behinde Sakura into the living room. Sakura waited until they were seated to begin, Sasuke at her side.

"First off I think you should know exactly wha and who I am." Sakura began.

"And what and who are you exactly?" Karin questioned in her annoying voice.

"I am a Princess. A demonic vampire to be exact. I am the what they call a 'Princees of Blood'. I have the power to control everything and anything. I can create and destroy. I am the strongest being ever born and can destroy the world with the blink of my eye." Sakura explained.

"Then why did you cal our principle mom?" Sai asked next. Naruto snickered. At this Ino hit him in the head after which he whimpered like a puppy who just got kicked.

"Oh stop being such a whimp." Ino barked at him. She lunged at him like she was about to hit him and he backed away even further.

"Enough! Both of you." Sakura commanded. "The people you saw today were not my parents. They are stand in guards that act like they are in order to protect my identity. Tsunade is my actual mother and Jiryahh is my father. The current kind and queen. We aren't open about it for security reasons."

Karin opened her mouth at this. There was no way that Sakura was this special. She wouldn't allow it.

"So then what does Sasuke and the rest of you have to do with any of this?"

Sakura sighed. This was gonna be a long night.

"They are my Court. They each have a hold or contol over a certain virtue or element. Our tattos represent what we have control over. They each have their distinctive worlds but they revolve around mine and me. For instance, Sasuke controls fire. he is prince of flames. Hinata is princess of air and the Heavens. Ino is princess of water and waves. Shikamaru is prince of stratagey and war tactics. Neji is prince of peace and tranquility. Tenten is princess of earth and weapontry. Naruto is the prince of demons. He is my brother."

Karin's mouth dropped open and hit the floor. Tenten bonked her on the head and her mouth popped back into place. Karin glared at Tenten while she was laughing.

"Which is why you two need to know these things. You are both part of my Court. Sai you have the gift of art. You are prince of atristry and wonder. Karin you are princess of tracking and searching. I have only one year to defeat my grandmother. Which leades me to say that I am willing to work with you Karin and turn the other cheek at everything that's happened. You can be inducted into my Court and family if you say yes."

"I think this is splendid! I accept!" Say clapped and bounced in his seat.

"I accept." Karin smiled at Sakura. It wasn't a full smile but a turn up at the corners of the mouth but it was good enough. It was as if a weight had been lifted and her wounds were healing.


Tsunade looked at her daughter. There was a glow that had never been there before. She was proud of her. She was proud of all of them for coming this far. Everything that was done to her daughter in the dark for so long was finally coming to the light. Tsunade smiled at the group what was now laughing and smiling like today never happened.

"So mom... now that the cat's out of the bag does that mean we can show our powers at school and stuff?" Naruto asked hopefully. Tsunade turned red and hot at the idea. Her son was such an idiot just like his father!

"NO NARUTO!" Everyone screamed at him. Sakura took a look at her family and smiled. She laughed at her older brother harder than ever before. You couldn't blame him for trying. Like father like son haha.
