Thanks for your reviews it help me a lot on things that I have taken for granted:
And I just want to apologize if there's no line to separate the scenes but to be honest I did use something as a separator for the scenes but it looks like it didn't appear on the site I'll just use something else…hehehe sorry again.
Sorry also if the things really heat that fast but I need to do it for the future events that will occur. Passion and LustBy: Spring Goddess
Chapter 5:
After a week of preparation for the engagement party, Sakura realized that things really came up that fast and she hadn't got any idea to prevent Kenji and her father identify who she really is but then something came into her mind,
" What if I color my hair with black? Hmm sounds good…"
She colored her hair according to her plan and it looks good on her,
"My lady excuse me but you need to dress up or you'll be late… AHH! Who are you?" her chambermaid screamed with horror, she didn't even realize that it was Sakura.
"Come on don't be ridiculous… I'm Sakura I just colored my hair with black, you know for the latest trends sake…"
"Oh… I'm sorry my lady if I freak out… I thought it was an intruder… and…"
"Ok, enough with words let's get into action. Come help me with my dress…"
----------------
As King Saito and his son Kenji are on their way to Fire Country's Castle, they talked about the King's wife-to-be,
King Saito queried "Kenji, do you have any idea who will be the bride of King Itachi?"
"Father some say that she is just an ordinary lady from another country"
"Uhmm, King Itachi is no doubt a simple man, Kenji, do you have any good news concerning your sister?"
"I think that she is in Water country or Wind Country… I have commanded someone to search for her in the said countries"
"That's good Kenji… is Prince Kabuto coming?"
"Yes father he is…"
"Well then, if he asks anything concerning Sakura, tell him that she's sick and needs some rest…"
"Yes father"
----------------
At the palace, everyone was busy doing the things they were assigned,
Itachi queried, "So Kisame, have you seen Sakura?"
"Haven't seen her, maybe she's getting ready for the engagement party?"
"Maybe you're right"
"Oh, Itachi Prince Kabuto is on his way and so are Prince Neji and Princess Hinata and they will arrive here shortly"
"That's good, I want everything to be in order we don't want to embarrass ourselves don't we?"
"Sure Itachi, everything will be according to what is planned"
----------------
Her chambermaid compliments, "This gown looks so much beautiful when you wear it my lady…"
Her green gown was made of silk and it has a not so big flower on its right side. It was simple and elegant at the same time.
"Thanks, does it fit my hair?"
"Yes it sure does my lady… I'm sure the king will be surprised to your new look…"
"Hope so, so has anyone arrived?" Sakura felt a little jumpiness inside her but she must not let her chambermaid notice it,
"I heard that they will be here shortly… since the party will start at around 6:30pm and its 4:30 in the afternoon so it means that we need to hurry up or you'll be late my lady…"
"Ok, lets fix my hair"
----------------
"What have you done with your hair?" Itachi was really shocked to see what Sakura had done,
"Well, actually I hate pink, and I just want to try something new, does it look good on me?"
"Well the combination of black hair with green orbs are quite well how can I say this with you not being hurt… hmm"
"Come on Itachi, I know you are a little bit fastidious but just tell me if it looks good or not!"
"Ok, calm down, everything you do with yourself you will always be the most beautiful woman in my sight, remember that…"
"Is that true?"
"I will never lie to you… oh there you are! Sakura my love this is Prince Kabuto of Sound Country, he is the nephew of King Orochimaru"
"Good evening, Miss…"
Sakura was dumbfounded when she saw Kabuto, but she tried to regain her composure,
"Nice to meet you Prince Kabuto, so how's your journey?"
"A little exhausting, but I found it rather enjoyable, the scenes are astounding I hope I can bring my future wife in this country…"
Itachi queried, "Future wife?"
"Yes, I was engaged to Princess Sakura of Earth Country but I haven't seen her since I was engaged to her…"
"Well, that's nothing to worry about, please enjoy yourself…"
"Sure," it seems like he's looking for something or rather someone,
"Is something the matter Kabuto?" Itachi asks quite confused of Kabuto's behavior,
"I'm looking for King Saito…"
----------------
"There he is…" King Saito finally found what he is looking for,
"What are you talking about father?"
"There look…" pointing on Itachi's direction
"Kabuto is with King Itachi and maybe that is his bride, come with me Kenji, lets congratulate them…"
Sakura noticed that her father and her brother are walking straight to their direction, but she must remain calm or else her wonderful life with Itachi will be vanished in thin air,
"Greetings, King Itachi, I am…"
"Yes you are King Saito of Earth country and you must be Prince Kenji… glad to see you here, I've heard many great things about you… may I introduce to you my wife-to-be Lady Sakura"
A little bit intrigued on what they heard, and then Sakura greeted them with a warm smile and then she said, "Good evening…"
When Kenji looked into the bride's green orbs, he knew that it was Sakura, but he must not jump into conclusions that fast, or else he would end up being beheaded.
"Good evening to you too Miss Sakura"
Then Kabuto interfered, "my, my, my I haven't notice that you share the same name with my beloved"
"Yes surely, that was a big coincidence" King Saito commented,
The night was full of laughter and everyone's enjoying King Itachi's engagement party but not Sakura, she always guards everything she does or says.
After like ages for Sakura, finally the party is over, and almost everyone is preparing to go home, when she saw that her father and her brother are bidding their goodbyes to King Itachi, she was so relieved.
The night ended peacefully for Sakura, no one noticed her true identity not even her family, but the truth is someone noticed her,
"Father I need to stay here for a couple of weeks I have something important to do… concerning Sakura"
"Well if that has something to do with your sister then, you are free to stay…"
"Thank you, father"
Kenji spied Sakura for about two weeks, and then he saw something that proves his conclusion, Itachi's bride is equal to Sakura, after two weeks, Sakura's hair returned to its normal color.
"So in Fire country, SAKURA… you know you made things complicated…"
That night, Kenji decided that he must bring Sakura home no matter what…
"Hello little sister…" Kenji appeared in her back,
"Kenji, why…how…" Sakura was terrified not just because he saw her brother again but afraid that she will never see Itachi again,
"Come, lets go back to Earth country, while there's still time,"
"Kenji, I can't…"
"Why! Are you out of your mind? If King Itachi finds out that you're engaged to Kabuto, he will definitely kill you, do you want that to happen?"
"No…"
"So why not come with me?"
"Because I would rather die than to marry that Kabuto!"
"Sakura…"
"Kenji all my life was controlled by you and father, please just let me decide on my own just for once…"
"I can't Sakura… I'm sorry…"
He used some drug to make Sakura unconscious and then Kenji left a letter, he made it appear that it was Sakura's farewell letter.
The following morning Itachi found the letter and he read it, he felt that some part of him was gone when Sakura left, he is not sure whether he will come and claim her or just leave the issue behind and start something new.
He is a man of pride and honor, so he tried to forget Sakura and he ordered Kisame to find her another bride, but it seems like no one can reach his standards, or maybe he never let them reach his standards.
After two weeks of searching for the replacement of Sakura, finally Itachi realized that he couldn't be happy without Sakura on his side, so he decided to visit the Earth Country and ask the King concerning a young peasant girl named, Sakura. After two days of journey, he arrived at his destination, and he journeyed straight to Earth Country's castle,
"What a big surprise, King Itachi" King Saito greeted with delight,
"Father, I just want to…" Sakura was surprised to see Itachi and so is he…
King Saito never knew that Itachi's bride and Sakura are the same. When Kenji brought Sakura home, her father didn't ask anything nor he being mad at Sakura, he just talked to her, no one knows what they talked about.
"King Saito, I…I… just want to ask…something concerning some matters…"
"Well that would be very important that you traveled this long… come, oh let me introduce to you my daughter Princess Sakura"
