Chapter 7
Orochimaru stormed into the old ballroom of the abandon castle with Kabuto walking calmly behind him.
"That girl seriously doesn't know when to just give-up!" he yelled angrily, releasing his anger by blowing a hole in the wall with an energy ball.
He had just left the princess chained and gagged in the dungeon after getting sick of her back chatting and refusals to marry him. Even after knocking her around with his fists and using torture spells on her, she still refused.
"She isn't going to marry you is she?" Kabuto said as he looked at his master's handy work. "We needed to replace that wall anyway."
"This is becoming more trouble then its worth, it would easier to just take the Sharingan Kingdom by force." Orochimaru was saying to himself.
"So just kill the bitch and be done with it." Kabuto said looking bored.
Orochimaru thought about this for a moment and then smirked.
"No, I won't just kill her, I'll make her suffer for not agreeing to marry me. By using that Kyuubi brat's vowel against her."
"How?" Kabuto asked.
"Even if Naruto had made a normal vowel of love in front of his whole kingdom, my curse would have been broken but if Naruto confesses his love to another, the curse would slowly drain little Sasuke's life away." He said, as his smirk grow wider.
"But how would you get Naruto to confess his love to another?" Kabuto asked.
Orochimaru held up the silver necklace and said, "By making you look like Sasuke."
Kabuto looked horrified at the thought of being turned into a girl but knew better then to go against his master's wishes. "But the sand user will sense that I'm not the princess."
"Not if I put a strong spell on this necklace that will stop the sand users magic, so you also won't be bonded to the baka blond."
Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But he wasn't the only one who heard it, Neji had been flying around the castle, trying to see if Sasuke was alright when he had come to an open window and heard Orochimaru's plan, he hurried to tell the others.
"Well?" Shikamaru asked when Neji landed next him and Sai. "Did you see Sasuke anywhere?"
"No but I heard Orochimaru making plans on destroying the her." Neji continued to tell them of Orochimaru's plan.
Just as Neji finished explaining the evil plan, he started to feel white-hot pain explode through his body and started to feel his bones painfully reshaping themselves again.
Then the pain stopped and Neji fainted from the pain.
-
Back at the Kyuubi Kingdom, the sun was just beginning to rise and Kakashi and Yondaime were sitting in the king's study trying to busy themselves with paperwork, so they would stop worrying about the prince and his friends. When Naruto and friends walked into the study.
"Father, grab every massager-bird we have and get all the servants as well, we have a busy day ahead of us."
Naruto and the others explained about were Orochimaru had been hiding and what he had done to Sasuke and her new friends.
"Right, lets get to work." Yondaime said as he summoned all the servants and had them get everything ready. All the people in the kingdom were invited and the ballroom was cleaned and decorated, food was made and music was organized.
When the sun was about to set Kiba mounted his horse and started toward the old castle to retrieve the princess.
-
Neji started to regain consciousness. His eyes opened to see Shikamaru and Sai looking down at him.
"Did Kabuto's magic were off?" He asked unintelligently.
"Well your body changed back but your brain is still as good as a ducks." Was Sai's spiteful remark.
Neji looked at his hands and started to touch his face, after making sure that everything was where it was meant to be he started to jump up and down, laughing like a men how had struck gold.
"Don't start to celebrate yet." Shikamaru said sadly. "How are we going to get word to prince Naruto about Orochimaru's plan now? None of as would be able to make it in time to tell him."
Neji's face darken with sadness, then the sadness turned into determination, "We'll have to break Sasuke out, so she can fly there herself and stop the prince from making the biggest mistake of his life."
"And just how do we break her out?" Sai asked, sounding doubtful.
Neji gave the turtle and frog a bashful look and said, "Well I had hoped Shikamaru had thought of something."
The turtle and frog just shock their heads and signed.
In the end they decided that the best plan of action would be to wait until Orochimaru and Kabuto left and then break into the castle and find were Orochimaru locked Sasuke away then get her out. Simple but hopefully affective.
-
Inside the old castle, Orochimaru walked down into the castles underground dungeon, he walked past cell after cell until he came to the last cell in the hall. Inside was a dirty and beaten looking black swan. The swan was sitting in the far corner of the cell and had its head hidden under its wing.
"Now, now Sasuke no need to look so mournful." Orochimaru smirked evilly. Sasuke didn't seen to even acknowledge Orochimaru's presence, but if he had been able to see her face he would have seen the tear that escaped. "I know your angry with me for not letting you go to your little party but I know how I can make it up to you." Orochimaru said like he was talking to his own child. Sasuke still didn't acknowledge him but when she heard the next bit her head shot up. "I can make it up to you by letting you see your friend that came to get you earlier."
Just then Kabuto showed up behind Orochimaru, pushing a bound and struggling Kiba toward the cell. Orochimaru opened the cell door and Kabuto gave Kiba one final push into the cell and the door slammed shut.
Kiba fell to the floor and Sasuke got up and started to break the ropes bounding Kiba's hands behind his back with her bill.
After Sasuke had freed Kiba's hands, Kiba pulled the cloth gag out of his month.
"Sasuke, are you okay?" he asked as he pulled the swan to his chest.
"Yes, are you?" She asked back as she snuggled into her friends' chest.
"Yeah."
"Well enjoy each others company, we must be going now." Orochimaru said as he walked away.
-
Sai was sitting at the front entrance of the old castle, waiting to see Orochimaru and Kabuto leave.
Being a little frog he was the best one of his friends for the job and it worked, when Orochimaru and Kabuto left they didn't see the little frog watch them go.
Sai hopped away as quickly as he could to tell the others it was time to start the plan.
They all adventured into the old castle and looked in every room until they come to an old heavy steel door that lend to an underground dungeon.
"Sasuke, are you here!" Shikamaru yelled.
"Shikamaru?" Come the little voice at the end of the hall of cells.
"Sasuke!" Neji, Shikamaru and Sai yelled as one and ran toward the cell holding Sasuke and Kiba, well Neji held Shikamaru and ran with the turtle in his hands.
"Thank god we found you." Neji said happily.
"Neji your back to normal." Sasuke stated happily.
"No time for small talk." Shikamaru said. "We have to get you out before it's to late."
As Neji and Kiba worked on picking the lock, Shikamaru and Sai told Sasuke of Orochimaru's plan.
Neji and Kiba had just finished picking the lock when Shikamaru and Sai finished telling Sasuke the evil plan.
"Go Sasuke, GO!" Kiba shouted as he opened the cell door and Sasuke wasted no time in flying out of the old castle and speeding toward the Kyuubi Kingdom.
-
Naruto and Garra were walking around the ballroom, greeting the guests and waiting for Sasuke and Kiba to show up.
Kakashi was dancing with Iruka, and being slapped every so often for tring to grope his dance partner.
Temari was flirting with a royal guard and Yondaime was drinking wine with some good looking women.
"They should have been here by now." Naruto said worriedly as he looked for the millionth time at the doors.
"They will be here soon." Garra was getting sick of the princes worrying and being around all these people was not helping the redhead's mood at all.
Just then the doors opened to reveal Sasuke and Kiba.
All the guests gasped, thinking that the princess was still missing.
Sasuke and Kiba walked toward Naruto and Garra.
When Sasuke reached Naruto, Naruto took her small hand and said, "I was so worried that-"
Sasuke placed a finger on the prince's lips, stopping him; "Nothing was going to keep me away."
Naruto nodded and clicked his fingers and music started to play and they started to dance.
Garra only look on and couldn't help but feel something was off about not only Sasuke but Kiba too. They were both acting normal but still some thing inside of him was warning him that something was most defiantly off.
-
Sasuke felt like her lungs were going to burst and her wings were straining with the pace she was forcing upon them but still she forced herself to move faster and what would normally have been a two hour fly turned into an hour and ten minutes, as she could see the castle ahead.
-
As Naruto and the fake Sasuke danced, Naruto himself felt that something was different about Sasuke.
Kabuto was getting sick of this whole dancing thing, they'd been dancing for almost over an hour. "Naruto could we start the bonding now?" Kabuto whispered in Naruto's ear.
"Yes okay but something about you seems different." Naruto said eyeing Kabuto.
Kabuto started to get worried that Naruto could see through his master's magic and started to play with Sasuke's silver dragon necklace. "Will I was captured by a mad man for more them a week-"
"Yes I'm sorry, it must have been hard on you," Naruto said sadly as he to started to play with the necklace as well. "But don't worry everything will be fine now. Garra!" Naruto yelled over the crowd at the redhead, who looked over at the blond. "Are you ready to start?"
Garra only nodded.
-
Sasuke just made it to the castle ballroom window in time to see Naruto and the fake her stand in front of Garra, who started the bonding by telling Naruto the words he had to say.
"Tonight I'm here to give my body and soul to this women-" even with these words alone, the real Sasuke started to feel the pull of the curse on her life force.
In a panic Sasuke started to hit the window with her bill and yelled, "No, Naruto it's a trick!" But Naruto continued to speck, "May I forever be with her-"
By now Sasuke had tried almost all the windows but Naruto was looking at the fake Sasuke and didn't see the panicking swan flying madly around the castle.
"I make a vowel of forever lasting love,"
"NARUTO!" Was all Sasuke could do.
"To this women in front of me."
"NO!" Sasuke was now pain as the curse started to drain her of her energy. She did the only thing her pained mind could think of and that was getting back to her friends at the lake.
In the ballroom, everyone started to rejoice but it was short lived as Kiba started to glow purple and change form, his tanned skin turned pale, his brown hair turning black and his brown eyes turned gold.
Them there before everyone stood a laughing Orochimaru. Naruto stepped forward, "Who are you?" (After all he had never seen Orochimaru before).
"Gave your love to another, Sasuke will be upset." Orochimaru chuckled.
"What are you talking about? This is Sasuke." Naruto angrily said as he pointed toward the fake Sasuke.
"NO, no, no, Sasuke is mine." Orochimaru said in a crazy manner.
"Your Orochimaru," Naruto said as it hit him. "You have no power over her now. I've made a love bonding vowel in front of the whole kingdom."
Orochimaru only laughed in the prince's face. "You made a vowel alright and it has sealed Sasuke's death." With that said Orochimaru shot Kabuto with a magic ball and everyone was horrified to see Sasuke turn into Kabuto, none more so them Naruto.
"You should have just let me have her and now Sasuke will die." Orochimaru stated as he pointed to a window. Naruto turned to see a black swan flying away through the window.
"SASUKE!"
