Loyalty Lies… by Sephiroth du Matrea
Author's Notes: This is what you call a… revenge project about fairy tales on "love at first sight". So sue us! XD The Prologue is written in Naruto's POV, but succeeding chapters shall all be in third person. Well, almost. I'll keep you posted in case I change my mind. XD This prologue's short, but we promise it'll get longer and hopefully better; we're writing it right now, and it's still not finished. XD
Kaya…putang-ina niyo, Fushigi Yuugi at Ayashi no Ceres, pati ang Cinderella! Pakshet talaga! Nanood kasi kami nito; di mo kami masisisi. Ehem.
Disclaimer: Naruto is ours! He's our boyfriend; Sasuke stinks – he's basically an over-used, cold-hearted character. No offense meant. XD Hehe…duh, this is why it's called a "disclaimer"…. :D
Summary: Why is it that the most trusted childhood friend of the Prince always gets left behind, especially when the Prince falls in love at first sight with a beautiful princess he just met for the first time? SasuNaru.
Rating: Mild use of violent languages, mainly in our Mother Tongue (putangina) XD. Other than that, everything's innocent. PG13, just to be safe! XP
Author/s: Me, with Klaine tagging along at some point.

Prologue: Wind
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize…
You see, it all started when I was seven. Yondaime Uzumaki, my father, who was the right-hand man of his Majesty, Uchiha-sama, introduced me to his son, Sasuke-sama. He told me to make a good impression, and boy, did I make one!
"Sasuke, would you like to meet my son, Naruto?" Father wasn't so formal with him, since Sasuke looks up to him in the same way he does to his older brother, Itachi.
I took a peek from behind my father's back. I looked at the so-called prince. There he was, a good two inches taller than I am. He was standing with his hands resting on his hips, looking at me with one aristocratic eyebrow raised.
"He looks terrifying," I whispered to my father.
"Is he my pet?" he asked.
I really don't remember what happened. But the next thing I knew is that I was straddling him, trying to break his neck off. "Die, you bastard!" The word hardly meaning anything to me. Hey, how was I suppose to know? I heard it from my Dad once when he was scolding Kakashi-sensei for peeking at Iruka-sensei while he was taking a bath. Hmm…another thing that confused me too, by the way.
My father was laughing his head off. How dare him! He chose the spoiled prick over his own son!
It was a stupid act, I know, especially if the Prince was more highly-skilled than me. He belongs to an advanced bloodline, plus, he was already taught various kinds of jutsus after barely learning how to walk!
I found myself pinned under him. He was disheveled; I mentally congratulated myself that the neatly-looking dark image was gone from his persona. But it was short-lived, as I felt him punch my left cheek. Damn him! Is he trying to kill me?! But THAT was MY idea!!
By sheer reflex, I pulled his hair in retaliation. I was about to laugh at my victory when I realized that his face was about to head down and meet mine…
I lay still.
BIG MISTAKE!
Blue eyes meeting pure black ones. Both of us too shocked out of our minds to move. Of all the places for our faces to meet, it had to be our lips.
I really did make a lasting impression.
----To Be Continued----
Seph: Wow!! All this done in less than thirty minutes! HA! ((celebrates))
Klaine ((is typing)): Huff, huff… ((glares at Seph))
Seph ((whistles)): Lalalalala… ((musical notes))
Need your reviews, everyone! Tell me what you think! We're trying as much as to make it faithful to the series – at least in concept – but still manage to put an AU twist to it. Stupid fairytales. Stupid princesses falling head over heels with a man they had barely met! Poor childhood friends, staying behind, and staying loyal to their princes! ((grabs tissues)) – I need to shit. WAAAAAH! :D
Review!
What's in Chapter One: Blood Murder
Naruto will be a little bit of OOC, since Yondaime still lives, but he's just the cute little prankster that he is (which we love). He doesn't like to challenge Sasuke much, except to provoke and annoy him; but he's a bit of a sore loser himself. This will also center on Itachi's reasons why he murdered the Uchiha clan, and also of the appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, and its uncanny connection with the clan massacre.
