Chapter 9:
The specialist treated Itachi immediately. And they found out that Prince Kabuto used venom to kill Itachi. Kabuto is now dead and no one is to blame for his actions.
"King Itachi, I apologize deeply I can't hardly realize that my nephew can do such a thing…" King Orochimaru said,
"Its alright…" Itachi is still feeling weak and tired.
"King Orochimaru, I'm sorry but king Itachi needs some rest." Said the doctor who is in charge of Itachi.
"I understand," uttered King Orochimaru,
King Orochimaru felt nothing pertaining to Kabuto's death, for him he is just a useless junk, an instrument for his goals. He was defeated and has no right to rule.
He returned to his country with the corpse of Kabuto.
-------------------
The competition came to the last match, the last two warriors was Prince Kakashi of Earth country and Prince Haku of Snow Country. Their match lasted for several minutes and Prince Haku won, he now owns the title of being the best and most powerful warrior in his time.
After the match Sakura went straight to Itachi,
"Itachi I'm glad that you're feeling a little better now, I'm worried sick about you…"
"I can't die that easily besides I promised that I will be back" when Sakura was about to kiss Itachi, king Saito entered his room
"King Itachi, I'm glad that you're in good condition…" King Saito said then, "Sakura, king Orochimaru talks to me and he said that he officially breaks your engagement with Prince Kabuto"
"That's great father," said Sakura, but she conceals her happiness
Itachi stayed in the hospital for another three days for observation and was released on the fourth day. Sakura and Kenji came to accompany Itachi to Earth country's Castle, because the doctors forbid him to travel back to his own country.
At his room, Itachi asks his nurse to summon Prince Kenji.
"What is it that you want King Itachi?" queried Kenji
"Prince Kenji, you know that you sister Princess Sakura and I are deeply in love with each other,"
"And…"
"And, I want her to be my wife…"
"My king… I know that Sakura is pregnant and that you are the father of the child… if I where to ask, Sakura without doubt will be happy if you will be her husband, but I worry about my father"
"I will talk to him"
After dinner they went to the terrace to drink their coffee and have their dessert. And now Itachi is planning to ask king Saito pertaining to Sakura and marriage.
"King Saito…" Itachi is really tense.
"Yes king Itachi"
"Umm…I…I… I was just wondering… umm"
'Dammit… I can't say it' he said to himself. Itachi is chickened out…
"Father… I love king Itachi and I want him to be my husband" Sakura said. She felt that, that was the thing Itachi was trying to say.
"And so do I King Saito… I love your daughter. I can't promise her riches and glory cause it will just fade away but the only thing that I can promise is that I will love her until my last breath"
Sakura was so touched when she heard Itachi's words then tears began to flow into her visage.
"I know that this is not the right time to ask you… but I really love your daughter and I always want to be with her…"
"I understand king Itachi… if you really love my daughter and so is she to you… then I don't have the right to interfere… when I arranged a political marriage between her and Prince Kabuto I thought that it was the best for her… but I guess I was wrong…"
"Father…" tears began to flow into Sakura's façade, and then she hugged her father,
"Thank you Father"
Sakura and Itachi told King Saito the truth that they first met when Sakura ran away and that Sakura was pregnant and he was the father of the child. King Saito was not mad instead he supported her daughter.
"Its ok Sakura… I'm glad that you still told me the truth."
The couple decided to be wed when spring comes.
The day before the wedding, Sakura and Itachi went to see his parent's burial chamber.
"Father, Mother I want you to meet my wife to be…" Itachi talked to the grave.
"Its ok, you can cry if you want, their still you parents right? And besides there's just the two of us here, no one will see you cr…"
Itachi embraced Sakura and cried in her shoulders.
"Thanks… I felt like the burden has been lifted up"
"No problem"
The wedding was just simple because that's what Sakura and Itachi wants. They were married at Fire country's castle at its garden. Many people are present.
Sakura was wearing a white kimono with flowers and trees decorated in it and her hair was braided in perfection, she looks simply beautiful and yet elegant.
"Princess Sakura of Earth Country, do you accept King Itachi of Fire Country to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest ask
"I do"
"King Itachi of Fire Country, do you accept Princess Sakura of Earth Country, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the priest ask
"I do"
"You may now kiss the bride"
"I love you Sakura" and he kissed him as I sign of them being as one. "And I love you too Itachi" To Be Continued-------------------
