Brother Prince: Chapter 5
Weeks flew by and then months and the day came for Sasuke to celebrate his 13th birthday.
The Emperor had set up a date for him with Haruno Sakura for the birthday.
Haruno Sakura who was the daughter of another wealthy Emperor. She was a beautiful princess with the eyes of emeralds, and she was looking for a prince to merry so she can go on ruling the kingdom since her father was getting sick and she needed to find someone fast.
"Oi, Sasuke. When is your date with Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. "Soon" Sasuke said blankly. "You don't sound too happy! BE HAPPY YOUR GOING OUT WITH SAKURA!" Naruto yelled happily trying to cheer up his brother. "I for one am jealous of you!" "You shouldn't be, she's nothing but a stuck up…" "SAAAASUKE!" Naruto interrupted. Sasuke looked at Naruto then
pointed to the door. "Get out…please." He said. "Why?" Naruto asked walking toward the door then stopping. "GET OUT!" Sasuke yelled. "Okay, okay. Jeez!" Naruto said before slamming the door behind him. Sasuke slumped down on his bed and sighed. "Why do I have to go on this stupid date!" Sasuke asked himself lying on the bed.
Soon the time came for Sasuke to head off on the date with Sakura. Sasuke walked put of his room and off to the royal ballroom.
There in the room stood rich snobs and lechers. Sasuke briskly walked onto the royal ballroom and blended in with the crowd.
He weaved through the web of people trying to get to the far corner of the room until he bumped into someone. "Naruto?" he asked
looking into confused and scared cerulean eyes. "What are you doing here!" Naruto quickly stood behind Sasuke. "Sasuke please
hide me, from father!" he said clenching his brothers shirt tightly. Sasuke turned to see and infuriated Emperor stomp around the
ballroom looking for Naruto. "What did you do?" Sasuke whispered. "Well...I asked him why I couldn't…date...Sakura-chan
and…." Naruto trailed off into something else in which Sasuke had not listened to. " Is that it!" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded
'yes' and the two took step back toward the ballroom's exit door. They were almost safe until: "SASUKE-KUUN!" a shrill voice sounded behind them. Sasuke turned to see it was Haruno Sakura. "S-sakura!" Sasuke stammered. "Hi Sasuke! I was looking
everywhere for you. Are you ready for…o-our date?" She asked blushing wildly. Sasuke turned and looked at his brother who looked a little jealous. "Well?" she asked. Sasuke still staid silent. She then got a little impatient. "Sasuke?" she yelled grabbing almost everyone on the rooms attention. Including the Emperor. "Not tonight" he said.
"Why not!" she asked. "Because your annoying me" he replied looking at her with hard cold eyes. She stepped back in astonishment.
Suddenly the Emperor saw what was wrong and came trudging through to where the three where. "Sasuke? Sakura? What's wrong?" he asked the two not seeing Naruto behind Sasuke's back. A teary eyed Sakura looked at the ruler. "Y-your son…dishonors me by…not accepting my invitation to merry him!" She said. TheEmeror gave Sasuke a wild look. "What?" Sasuke
glowered at Sakura. "S...she's lying" Naruto said stepping from behind Sasuke starring down at the ground. The ruler looked at
Naruto fiercely. "You …" he yelled grabbing Naruto by the collar shaking him. Sasuke wanted to help but he could not move, was he afraid? "I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE ROOM!" the ruler bellowed. He cruelly dragged Naruto by the collar out of the ballroom.
Sasuke watched on, with worry for his younger brother written all over his face. "Naruto" he thought. Suddenly he heard murmurs and snickering of people watching the whole fiasco take place. "That's the kings'adopted' son," Sasuke heard someone say. "I heard he was a demon!" he turned and heard some lady say. "He's a monster!" "He should be locked up in a cage" Sakura scoffed. At that Sasuke suddenly felt enraged. He harshly pushed her out of his way to get through to the exit of the ballroom.
"Sasuke? W-wait!" Sakura yelled after him. "I don't want to see your face ever again, understand?" he said to her with his back turned. She swallowed hard at the harsh words and let Sasuke walk away from her. She huffed and turned her head, walking the ballroom to find someone else to 'date' for the night.
Sasuke ran with hast to find Naruto bumping into servants and asking if they'd seen him but no one did. He went to Naruto room and found no one. He checked the throne room, checked the gardens. Even checked the 'secret' hiding place, but he found nothing.
He then stopped at his fathers study and cautiously pushed the door open. He was warned never to go in that room but he had to find his brother. He slowly walked inside being watchful of any signs of his father, Naruto or just anyone. He looked around and then
found a door by a bookcase. He opened the door and found a set of cobblestone steps in which he went down. Each step he took led
him further and further into the dark. Once he finally thought he'd made it to the bottom he heard someone else in the dark room.
"Who…is it!" he asked the darkness. He was jumpy as hell being down in the dark dungeon. "S-Sasuke…" someone whispered.
"Naruto? Naruto is that you?" Sasuke asked. He stepped further and further away from the stares stretching his arms out to find his
way until he tripped over something. He hurriedly stood up. "Clumsy idiot!" the voice said to him. He then looked closer at what he
tripped on, it was Naruto. "What are you doing down here?" Sasuke asked kneeling down to pick him up. "I always liked being in the dark" Naruto responded coughing loudly, he grabbed his chest. "What's wrong?" Sasuke asked. "Nanimo" Naruto said shaking his head. The two finally arrived at the entrance where the light shone brightly in their eyes. Sasuke then looked at Naruto in shock almost dropping him. The boy was almost covered head to toe in blood.
"What?" Naruto asked breathing shallowly. He then coughed up a little blood which ran down his dripped down his chin. His right arm and leg seemed to be broken and his chest was slash up along with that he had a black eye. "W-what happened…did father do this?" Sasuke asked horrified. "Naruto said nothing.
"C-can you take me to my room, please?" He asked. "Why?" Sasuke then asked him. He had so many questions in hi head he wanted answered. "I…I'm a
monster Sasuke…" he answered trembling. He wanted cry but didn't and was having a hard time keeping his tears in. Sasuke sighed heavily. He then hurriedly went to take Naruto to his room. Forgetting to shut the dungeon door and the study door.
Arriving at the room he sat blood stained blond on chair. "I'll be back, I'm getting something to clean you up with" Sasuke said and left the room.
Naruto sat there saddened. He wanted to tell Sasuke everything that father told him but….he didn't…he couldn't…or else he was sworn that he'd die.
Tsuara: I feel so tired for some reason…ah well. Please review!
