CHAPTER 1
"A LITTLE BIT OF A PERFECT GIRL"
When Butler Gai and King Asuma got to the tower, they were filled with
stinking sweat, each part of their bones quivered with excitement which
makes them it hard for them to climb the God-awful flight of stairs.
"Imagine wh-h-hat I've been through-h-h just courting her" gasping, the
king almost tumbled.
"(pant)(pant) I know your h-h-highness, no wonder they made you king...
(pant)(pant)"
At last, after a brutal, heart-wrenching adventure towards the top of the tower, they made it and was surprised to see Queen Kurenai lying on the bed, eyes closed, very pale. Beside her is a small bundle. The King's heart was shattered.
"D-d-did s-she d-die?" Asuma's voice shook with utter disbelief. He knew that some women die giving birth and he also knew it could never be his wife. Kurenai is strong and he knows it. But as he lay eyes on the seemingly lifeless woman on the bed, he can't help but sulk. Ever so slowly, he approached his beautiful queen, the air felt grave, his heart seemed to stop.
All seemed...grey.
Asuma's eyes were filled of what he now know as tears, hot liquid streaking down to cup his face as he inched his face closer to his beloved queen.
He cried. Nothing else matters now. It was a sour moment for everyone inside the room and Gai accompanied the women out the door; his face distorted with mix emotions, turning an awful shade of lavender.
Asuma lay his head beside the silk sheets and started to sob. "Shut up you clamorous amphibian sht, you're gonna wake up the baby"
Asuma looked up and saw an annoyed face from Kurenai.
"YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!" King Asuma jumped from his knees and hugged his wife, he never felt so.."BAM!"
"Sht YOU!!!!! DON'T BE SO CARELESS, YOU MORONIC A$$HOLE!!!" King Asuma hit the wall.
"I know what you're saying, she's perfect but.."
"But what?"
"What's with the blonde hair???"
The baby turned out to be beautiful, with lips red as an apple, skin fair and white as snow but with a golden crown. It was very unlikely to have a blonde child since both couple have dark hairs and even if we call it genetics, they have certainly never encountered any "blondie" in the family.
The king twitched his eyebrows as a gentle wisp of air was heard on the other line of the phone. Asuma sought to settle things with Tsunade for the "mistake" but to his dismay, he isn't been taken seriously. He's having a very hard time listening to Tsunade's reasons about blunders on hand seals, thanks to all the commotion going on the background by slutty maids adoring the poor kid while the old men give stupid omen about the end of the kingdom.
"Look, its not that she's a monster or something, I hear everyone's happy and besides, she's your daughter black, red or yellow hair, okay?
"But.. she's suppose to have beautiful strands as black as ebony!" the king is aggravated, he's getting nowhere. He knows it's a silly conversation but they gotta stick to tradition or his daughter's gonna end up like some perfect sweet dumb blonde, Miss Universe or something, or if she becomes too perfect.... a porn star...ehem.. but that's too far-fetched.
"SHAME ON YOU!!!" Tsunade almost broke the receiver.
"What??" Asuma froze, he didn't even think that Tsunade read his thoughts, that would be very...uhm, weird.
"oh, sorry, I was reading a text message..ahehehe.."
Asuma sweatdropped.
"Okay, back to business.. look, Mr. King, we all know that most FAMOUS aka. POPULAR people are blonde, like Barbie, Christina, Jessica, Hilary, Sailor Moon, Britney (although unnatural) and ME...got it? Its just FYI just in case you're still against it, so chill it 'kay? Tsunade's ego can be felt through the phone, it swelled to the point of nirvana.
King Asuma on the other hand, had never heard of such people, but that Barbie is quite familiar, not to mention that Britney. Oh well, might as well accept the fact that he must love his daughter whatever hair color she has.
"Uhm..fine, but if anything goes wrong, I still have my insurance papers, please remember that." The king, trying to reassure his self.
"Ohohohohoho...." She snickered with a fox-like voice.
"As you can see Mr. Asuma, blondes are beautiful and she's very lucky she turned out looking like me. That's what you call true beauty...haha....well then ja ne!"
"Oh, it's no use..." sighed Asuma pressing the dial tone. He then turned to Kurenai who was busy tinkering with the baby's little nose (aaaw..)
"What shall we name her?" he asked.
"Uhm...look Asuma, her skin is so soft, supple and it's as white as snow don't you think?" Asuma nodded.
"Let's call her Yukino" the queen suggested. Asuma's brow wrinkled but his face soon brightened when he understood the gallantness of the name, "Yuki" for snow and...
"Let's call her Ino, for short..." Kurenai interrupted, but soon Asuma started nodding his head in agreement.
"Ino" is a nice name...
After 7 years
Ino grew up to be one of those bubbly, cute princesses loving everything that came to her view. Birds flying around her as flowers bloomed (surprisingly) in every footstep in the garden... The gardener, Iruka is really having a hard time with all this "cuteness" going on, not to mention the fog of bubbles around the little tyke. Its ridiculous.
Ino was happily playing in the garden near the wall where a gate stood separating the castle grounds from a road. In sickly slow motion, Ino almost flew through the sunflowers around her, hands reached out to the "adorable" blue birds and butterflies around her, aggravating Iruka who's veins are on the verge of popping out of the his head. Imagine, brains flying. Blood everywhere..hehe.
But the little princess continued her mad exploitation of excessive wonder and happiness, drifting off to the far side of the gate; she could almost hear a voice...a sound...
the sound of music...
Iruka heard it too, something like "the hills are alive..." or something. He definitely thought he was loosing it and just shudders.
It all stopped when Ino hit the gate with her head, hard. Pretty much expected from a "dumb blonde".
"Ow!" she sat touching her sore forehead, even the blue birds aren't so clever, and hit the gate and soon hit the ground, knocked out.
"Oi, Are you alright?"
Ino heard someone across the gate. She stood up to see a boy with an expression more on the lazy side than that of concern.
"uhm...yeah..thanks" she replied. The boy just looked at her, she was sure that he flashed a lopsided grin but the lad's features remained somewhat hazy.
The boy looked at the princess in front of him, he really thought girls were stupid but he had no idea that they would be THIS stupid. Its rather silly to see someone hit a solid gate in front of them.
"Is there anything you want?" Ino broke the silence, a bit annoyed with all the staring she gets.
"No, I was just passing by." The boy looked down to see the half-dead birds across the gate. He gave a disgusted look. Ino on the other hand just stared at the figure before her. Its her first time to see someone on head level, although he was a bit taller by mere inches. She drank in the sight of the lad dressed in black shirt over grey jacket with short sleeves and black cargo pants. His hair is short but is already tied up. He looks out of their world and she thinks that everything looks out of fashion.
"What?" It was the boy's turn to be intimidated.
"uhm, nothing, If you don't mind, may I ask where are you going?" Ino blushed a little and decided to have a good conversation with this pretty alienated guy. The boy however, is not responding, it would be too troublesome to tell her something since he knew that it would lead to more questions and he has no intention on bothering himself over some pesky girl.
"Well? Its just a question, it would be rude not to answer a princess" she continued.
Oh, yeah, she IS a princess. Point made.
"uhm... I'm going to a land so far away, going through scorching desserts, past blistering-cold mountains, crossing vast planes and oceans to the highest peak of a dead volcano, climb the tallest tower, fight a dragon to save another slutty princess."
Ino just stared, mouth parted; not really knowing how to react to what he said. On the other hand, the lad just stared at the young princess with those lazy eyes, assuming that the girl didn't even understand a thing, and he was right.
"Oh, well, if that's the case, good luck my brave warrior and please return safely. Let's talk more when you come back. Okay?" The princess just smiled ever so sweetly to the stranger almost melting the gate in the process, bubbles everywhere.
The boy was a bit taken aback with the reply. 'Brave warrior?' 'return safely?' 'talk more?' It was really weird for him to be hearing those. No one really gave a damn about him, he thought that maybe like him, everyone was too lazy to give words of encouragement to another "lazy" guy like himself and this girl whom he doesn't even know were saying things like she was "someone" in his life. She really is stupid, stupid but interesting.
"What's your name?" He finally asked.
"Princess Yukino, but you can call me Ino, bout you?" the princess happily replied. It's a good thing that the stranger even asked her name, he was being silent a while ago, she thought she said something wrong.
The boy eyed her once more, 'Ino? what kind of name is that anyway?'. He moved away, ready to leave but was stopped by Ino's shouts.
"Oi! You didn't tell me your name...Oi!!! Oi!!!!"
'Tsk, she's loud... oh well..'
"Shikamaru..."
"what?" she can't hear clearly.
"My name is Shikamaru..."
"Mama, mama!" Ino came running up the tower towards the Queen's room shouting.
"Mama, mama, listen!" a door opens.
"I met someone, mama!!" door opens.
"His name is Shikamaru and he's weird...
Can you hear me mama?!" door opens.
"I have a friend mama, I'll be happy" door opens.
"I won't be lonely anymore, even if papa's not here" door opens.
"Can you hear me?" door opens.
"MAMA!!" The queen's door opens and Ino still smiling, stared wide-eyed at the sight of the figure hanging from the ceiling.
The little princess was greeted with a sight. "What?" The Queen eyed her child as she stared at the thing hanging from the ceiling. "Were you expecting me to be the one hanging like some disturbed-eva-pilot's mother?" Ino sighed in relief and asked
"No mama, but what is that thing hanging in the ceiling?"
"Oh..." Kurenai reached for the life-size poster of Brad Pitt. "It's just a poster. By the way, what were you saying Ino darling?"
Ino then stretched her hands holding a bouquet of flowers. "I picked it up awhile ago in our garden for you mama. When I grow up I'll build my own flower shop and that is all for you!" Kurenai smiled and took the gift.
"Thank you, sweetheart" Kurenai suddenly wondered where her daughter got the flowers, she was sure Ino wasn't holding anything when she came and she was sure they just popped out of her hands.. oh, well, they were really pretty anyway.
Suddenly, with a cool smokey effect a man popped beside the queen whispered something to Kurenai.
"You're late.... What? Yondaime? Right now?" the queen eyed the guy anxiously.
Ino stared at the man who's face was mostly covered and silver strands heading to the other side of the head.
The man nodded. Kurenai then faced her daughter. "Ino dear, I will be leaving for awhile, be a good girl ok? Gai and our new butler Kakashi will take care of you. Oh, and while we're away, one of my relatives will come and join you, do you understand Ino?" The queen's voice was grave and shaky.
"Yes mother." Ino answered cheerfully not knowing that it's going to be the last time she'll ever see her mother again.
Queen Kurenai started packing, Yondaime ordered her to follow King Asuma who was given a mission a month before. Although he's the king, Asuma still follows the Yondaime. Kurenai knew something's wrong and also knew that she may never come back alive to see her daughter again. With some of her trusted shinobis including Butler Gai, she left the poor princess under Kakashi's care.
After months of despair in the entire kingdom, Princess Ino gradually changed. No longer is she a dumb blonde, no longer do flowers bloom everywhere she stepped (much to Iruka's relief), no longer do the blue birds sing sweetly around her. The little princess became strong under Kakashi's training and Iruka's position as a gardener was promoted to butler by Kakashi...hmm... Both jounin spend mornings and afternoons teaching Ino about new techniques and they spend evenings together for...uhm conversations about the uhm...kingdom. (yeah right, ahehehe)
One calm night, a girl came crashing inside the castle saying that she's in charge of everything, in behalf of the queen's dead relative. The girl demanded to see the princess and demanded the crown. Confused with everything happening so sudden (it IS too sudden!) Kakashi tried to stop her but he was defeated due to his carelessness. Now the poor jounin is sealed inside a magic mirror, nobody knows why or HOW.
Seeing this, Ino tried to save her mentor but it was too late. The girl right in front of her, lowered her head and said with a devilish smile
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I'm going to be the queen from now on....WAHAHAHAHA!!" Ino was surprised to see that a girl that seemed to be the same age as hers will be queen and... wait a minute, she just barged in, demanding the crown, annointing herself queen and turning Butler Kakashi into a mirror? Its utterly ridiculous, not to mention crazy.
"Who the hell are you anyway??? You don't just barge in here and say you're going to be queen! That's very abnormal even for a normal human being!" Ino inched closer to the girl so they were almost nose to nose. But she was surprised, no, slash that, she got scared when she saw underneath her pink hair was a thing she had never imagined a NORMAL person could own..
A very wide forehead. So wide it's disturbing.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT???" Sakura's voice rang. Ino backed away. Her screech was so ....monster-like!
Certainly, this is not an average enemy, maybe she's one of those kids with monsters sealed inside their bodies, she thought for a second, understanding the situation, if she let the monster out, it was sure trouble, so she sought a way of ending this little dispute with a peaceful negotiation.
"Let's talk" Ino finally said. She can survive drastic measures given by this Sakura but she knew in her heart that accepting the pink-haired girl would be very hard...for how...could she ever....learn to love....a beast.
