Hey all ya's peoples out there. It's me! It's me! Guess what, I came back and you know what! That is soooo cool! I used to get frustrated over other people who didn't update for over years and now here I am after almost a year. Hey… at least I'm updating. I got tired of gomen and I think I mellowed out a bit. Or maybe I'm just tired… it's the middle of the night… yes I'm weird… no…. I'm nocturnal. Right at this second I completely forgot what I was writing this chapter about but I'm improvising so hope it's not to cruddy. Well… enjoy…

Narutoella Chapter 3
Intro Sasuke
'Damn… what a boring day. All I have been doing is reviewing on diplomatic etiquette. This sucks... Royally!' Sasuke was sitting in the palace library over an open dusty book staring out a window. He already knew this book forwards AND backwards… he really didn't see the point anyway. Everyone whose ANYONE knows that half the people at the diplomatic meetings are actually asleep!
With these thoughts he rolled his eyes as he heard the banging of a door opening and shutting. His teacher has returned. 'Whoopee' he mocked in his head.
"Good morning to you, Sasuke. I see you are actually here on time and supposedly studying your etiquette for once?" a brown haired teacher asked questioningly with one eyebrow raised. He looked upon the raven haired prince dressed in his black nobles jacket, light tan pants and black boots leaning on to his chair with a large book on the stone table in front him near the window.
"Yes… Iruka-sensei…" Sasuke sighed. Oh how he hated studying. Why does the future king need studying anyways. He's the "King" for crying out loud. Can't the king do whatever he wants? Yet he couldn't get out of it this time because he had been vanishing and avoiding studies to go train on the grounds with his very stoic friend Neji. Iruka complained to the current king so much that the King had to officially order Sasuke to brush up on his studying.
As it turned out, the 'current king' of this time was none other than our beloved mask wearing ninja, Hatake Kakashi. The tale that wrapped itself around Sasuke was that his royal family ruled all but his father died in a war stake out during the twenty-five year war. His mother three years later died of plague when Sasuke was eight years old. His older brother Itachi came to rule when he was only sixteen years old. Itachi was a fighting prodigy but it drove him crazy that he wasn't allowed to battle because he was the king. It took only four months for the older sibling to grow so frustrated that he denounced his claim to the throne and vanished without a trace. No one could track him because he was so good at what he did.
Thus the throne was in trouble for a bit because the next crowned prince was eight years old and too young to take the responsibilities of the throne. Everyone thought Itachi would become king and remain their king and bear children so no one really trained Sasuke in that area. He just wasn't ready. So the crown went to their defense specialist Kakashi. It was argued about because Kakashi was not related to the blood line but then it was decided that it would be temporary until Sasuke reached his eighteenth birthday. Sasuke was now a week shy of his seventeenth birthday.
"Now we will continue your studies with foreign languages. First we will start with German, than some English," Iruka started pulling out more books of different colors and stacking them around Sasuke. All the pitied prince could do was watch as he calculated his free time today was flying out the window.
'I'm already smart enough. Even Kakashi himself commented that I was tutored beyond my years. Iruka needed to take a chill pill or something because he's freaking out to much. I know my seventeenth birthday is coming soon but, danm, he doesn't need to go overboard this last year. I'm already prepared to rule.' Sasuke sighed and looked at the books. He had spoken with Kakashi earlier because he was the only one who could 'simmer down' Iruka. That devious king said that he had a plan but shortly afterward he disappeared all together. Sasuke hadn't seen mask or hair of this king with a plan.
Knock Knock Knock
"Okay so we will begin…"
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
" sigh could you excuse me for a moment your majesty." Iruka bowed a little towards the stoic prince and headed for the door. With a large clink he managed to open the gigantic heavy door to peer outside. "Yes, can I help you?"
All Sasuke could hear was a shocked "Hey!" and the closing of the door. 'Ah so this is what he had in mind'. Sasuke didn't need a second hint to book it out the back entrance that lead into the servant's quarters.
What happened to out little disappearing teacher? Well, right outside the door he was trapped between to two strong arms. He started to give feeble complaints but was so flushed that he could barely make sense.
"Umm… Your majesty… Please… I need to go back and do Ah a lesson." The teacher was starting to lose his resolve as his silver haired king started to lick the side of his neck. The presence was strongly felt through the brown haired scholar that he shivered as a warm body was pressed up close to him.
"But Iruka-honey, I missed you. You never seemed to have time to spend with me anymore." The sly masked pervert silkily replied, his mouth right next to his ear making him shiver, as the king slipped his hand around his smaller lover. The trapped man blushed furiously as those words.
"You know very well that's not true. You know very well that just this morning we…" He started to comment indignantly toward his king. Placing his hands on his chest to make sure that he couldn't return to his previous task that he was bent on completing.
"We just what?" Kakashi placed his face so close to Iruka's that his breath could be felt warm and sticky. Then the sovereign delicately pulled down his mask so he could start to assault his lover's delicious mouth. The brown haired teacher could no longer deny the wish of his king. Giving in he completely forgot about lessons that needed completion.
(Ha I leave you with the rest)
-Naruto's POV-
"Oh Kame, I am so hopelessly lost. The old lady must have gone senile because there are no stair cases or corridors where she told me they would be." A black hooded misplaced boy wondered down the halls, up and down staircases, knocking on doors only to have them open and slam in his face. He even tried to talk with maids he'd seen wondering and dusting as he went but they wouldn't give him the time of day commenting that they were too busy with their chores. He tried to avoid the guards he did see because the first one he met accused him as a spy right off the bat and threatened to throw him in the dungeon. Luckily he was quick on his feet.
"Ok now. These surroundings are starting to look familiar. I think I've seen this hallway before and these evil stairs look like they're mocking me again," Naruto pouted at these stairs for a bit. Looking out the window he gazed upon a scenic sight that showed nothing of the town or his home. "I think I may be on the wrong side of the castle but I can't even tell which ways north. This is worst than being lost in the wild… THERE'S NO FOOD HERE!"
With that a noise gurgled that turned out to be the half-starving stomach of the lost teen. It was one thing to be lost but a completely another difference when you haven't eaten all day. Walking all sad and disappointed he didn't notice the figure that was in a hurry to walk past him. They collided and sent the blonde on his backside with an unceremonial thud.
"Watch where you're going," a cold voice came from the person he collided with. Naruto looked up to behold his offender only to find it to be someone of his own age. He seemed cold though because of his piercing eyes that didn't take time to look at him. Instead he looked straight ahead as if he was in a hurry for something. The guy was dressed in a high stately manner and seemed to act superior because he didn't offer to help the blonde to his feet. Instead, he stepped to the side and continued on his way like it never happened. Furious at how rude this kid was Naruto quickly snapped out of his shocked daze and stood pointing at the raven haired boy's receding figure.
"Hey! Who do you think you are? You come walking out just as distracted as me, knock me down and don't even have the courtesy to apologize or help me up? It's bad enough that I've been lost all this time hungry and starving, only to have some snotty brat be rude like everyone else?" Naruto was fuming as he turned away to dust himself off near the window he was walking by.
-Sasuke's POV-
'Man I got to hurry out of here before someone tries to stop me leaving to do some other stupid task with them. Danm these hallways, why do we have so many of them. They are so pointless, like all these people here are pointless. And why does it seem that all the servant doors refuse to open them when I try to knock. Like they're trying to keep someone out…"
THUD
"Watch where you're going." God they keep hiring incompetent hands around the castle these days. They can't even watch where they're going so they don't bump into anyone. Well whatever, not my problem.
"Hey! Who do you think you are? You come walking out just as distracted as me, knock me down and don't even have the courtesy to apologize or help me up? It's bad enough that I've been lost all this time hungry and starving, only to have some snotty brat be rude like everyone else?"
'God I hate when servants try to plead forgiveness for when they… get in… my… What? That was not the usual comment heard everyday…' Confused at this outburst Sasuke stopped and slowly turned around. The kid wasn't even facing him and was dusting himself off. He seemed to have dropped a package. Retracting his thoughts to remember what the kid said he realized that he indeed wasn't one of the helping hands in the house. Curiosity got the best of Sasuke because he was so isolated, he didn't see kid's his own age that weren't serving hands. And they were too nervous to try to talk to him. 'He seems to have dropped a package. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and return it.'
Slowly proceeding to pick up the package, it was surprisingly heavy. 'He was lugging this around lost? I wonder if he ever sparred before. He might be able to hold his own.' Approaching this kid, he could tell that he was starting to intrigue him. He seemed to be about the same height as him. With a nudge he tapped the package on the kid's shoulder. The kid turned around to look at the package for a second confused. Then he peered up to see gave him the gift.
With a quick intake of breath that would only be noticed if you were looking for it, Sasuke couldn't think of anything except the aspects of this blonde haired blue eyed boy. He was so different than anyone he has ever seen before. He was totally at a lost for words, yet lucky for him, the lost boy was the first to speak.
"Well I see you actually do have some manners," he commented as he snatched the package from his hands.
-Naruto's POV-
Well at least he took the decency to return the package. I hope it's not damaged. Heck, I don't even know if it's fragile so why should I care. Oh well. Dang it's hot in here. I should take off my hat. Besides I'm not in town so it shouldn't be a problem here. He removed his hood without consequences and was about to thank the kid in front of him when he too was caught off guard.
Hey… He looks… different. How could someone have such dark hair? Whoa. He's really pale too. He's pretty decent looking for a snob snicker Does he get out at all? I wonder if he'll help show me the way out because if he doesn't I don't know what I'm going to do. I still have to get back to the senile old lady and give her a piece of my mind. Then I have to go home, cook, eat and do whatever punishment my 'mother' comes up for me.
"Well… Thank you," Naruto casually patted the shoulder of the other teen. "So could you help a guy out?"
The other seemed to simply watch Naruto as if curious what he would do next. This frustrated Naruto… Just a bit.
"Hello! I am talking to you? I am so totally lost in this big castle and I need to get to the kitchen. Then if you could help me find a way out of this evil godforsaken castle," Naruto, still holding the package scratched the back of his head in a nonchalant way looking around him to see if he spoke too loud, "I would really be grateful… umm… What is your name? Mine is Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto."
With that he placed his hand out to shake since this was their first meeting and he was praying to Kame that the stoic raven haired boy hadn't heard one of those nasty rumors that always made other people hate him. But the boy simply looked at the hand as if it was beneath him to shake it and stared back at Naruto as if he had lost his mind. Naruto didn't know what to make of this and simply stood there with a questioning look on his face.
Well, I wonder what's wrong with him. He seems to be at some sort of loss. Doesn't he know how to shake hands? The boy seemed to get more agitated the more confused Naruto's face got. Finally with what seemed like a sneer Sasuke merely turned around and started walking. What in the world was that? Who does he think he is? Wait a second, he stopped walking. Does he want me to follow him? Well I hope he's leading me the right way but, what other choice do I have?
Naruto followed the other teen without any worries as to where they actually where. The only thing that was on the blonde's mind right now was the figure in front of him. This was the first time that he got a good look at him. He was dressed like a classic spoiled rich kid with all the fancy fabric on his coat. They seemed to be about the same height, Naruto couldn't truly tell because of both their spiky hair. But he seemed to be really handsome…
With that thought Naruto blushed. How could he possibly describe another guy like that? And so bluntly. Right then he was so grateful that boy was walking in front of him without looking back. 'This is so humiliating, first I'm lost and then this rude noble kid pushes me down. Then he starts to lead me to kame knows where and now I start describing him as a handsome, dashing, well built… Aaaauughhh'
-Sasuke's POV-
'What is with this guy? First he acts like he doesn't even know that I am the crown prince. Then has the nerve to ask to 'shake hands' and now he seems to be agitated while cluelessly follow me to the kitchen without so much as a thank you. He is by far the most etiquette deprived character I have ever met. What kind of name is Naruto. Who would be stupid enough to name a child such a weird name? And why am I wondering about so much useless junk? It's not like me. Well, neither is leading some total stranger around the castle'
Walking he could feel the eyes of the blonde behind him on his back. But he told himself that he would not crack under this pressure. Yet it was unbearable for some reason. He was trained and raised to withstand the constant pressure of every meeting and ball he was forced to attend, but this boy was driving him nuts. He wasn't used of someone around his age except for Neji and he was always like that but that never bothered him. While he was pondering he realized he was just about to pass the corridor to the kitchen right next the exit. He stopped abruptly only to have the said boy bump into him.
"…hn… down that corridor is the kitchen," Sasuke smirked, " and down the hall in the castle exit."
He turned around to look at the lost boy only to be mildly amused by the fact that looked completely shocked and astounded. Sasuke had been wondering how he could get lost by such simple directions but that look was priceless. He had to use all his effort to not smile at the bewildered look the blonde gave him. Then he completely surprised Sasuke with his outburst.
"THAT CRAZY BACHAAN! HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME! IT WAS RIGHT HERE THE WHOLE TIME AND SHE GAVE ME CRAZY DIRECTIONS ABOUT A PLACE THAT NEVER EXISTED. THE NERVE!" Naruto was totally fuming that he didn't even notice the other boy walk past him in a dignified way until he spoke.
"Well, try not to get lost in my castle again. Dobe!" With that Sasuke left smirking. When Naruto finally contemplated what was said he burst out again.
"I AM NOT A DOBE YOU…. TEME!…?..." Sasuke had expertly left without a trace so it made Naruto feel like he was only talking to himself even though the stoic teen could still hear the rants down the corridors. With a smirk he continued his journey to the training grounds. At least he had something to reflect on about today.
To Be Cont.
Hey everyones. Hope you liked it. I'm sorry if there's any mistakes in this. And for those freaks who try and tell me they corrected my work… I have a little secret to tell you…. whisper I don't care whisper… No I really don't. I hope you liked Sasuke and the humor. Yet again I'm sorry about taking so freakin long. You could kill me after I finish this if you like… but only in your mind okay. I started another story just because I had a dawning of an awesome idea so I hope you like it.
Laterz from Me
P.S. I have read some of your reviews and I am happy that you like my stories. I got a few comments about the Tsunade bit but I couldn't find a woman snooty enough to fill the part as the rich lady who would be attracted enough to be married to a noble just because. But this is a different time era and Tsunade never truly went through all the ordeals that made her cool in the series so… get over it XP
