Chapter IV- My thoughts, your thoughts, their thoughts

My thoughts…

Am I 'alright'? You hired Itachi's brother as one of my bodyguards and you have the nerve to ask me if I'm alright?! "Yes, daddy, I'm fine but just a little hungry so if you please, I would want to have my breakfast alone in my room." Well, I'm still a princess.

"Of course, darling, your breakfast will be sent to your room." At least someone's happy. I bowed a bit then returned to my room. Itachi, what the hell am I going to do? Speaking of Itachi, we were supposed to meet later, now with the bloodhounds (Bodyguards) in the picture, that would be impossible. I reached my room and went in. Things couldn't get any worse…

"You seem troubled?" Oh great! Not him! How come he's always there when I'm feeling like crap?!

"Oh you think so?" Yes! Yes! I am fucking troubled! And you are so not helping! Aki, why do you torture me like this?!

"Is it because of me?" You still have to ask? But I shook my head. "Not me? Well, that's too bad. My day is never complete till I see you in misery…" he grinned that knowing grin of his. I glared at him as best as I could.

"Aki! Just leave! I'm pissed so be happy now shoo!!!" I shooed him out and closed the door shut. I sighed. I don't care about breakfast anymore, I just want to find a solution out of this and find out who ratted to my father about Itachi and when I do, he's going to…

"BUGSH!" What the…?

"Ow!" a blonde was sprawled on my bedroom floor with food all over him, which I think was my breakfast. He sat up and scratched the back of his neck, he gave a sheepish grin, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hey! This is so not funny!" he protested.

I tried to stifle my laughter. "Gomen, gomen…so I take it that the thing on your head was my breakfast or…" a sly grin spread over my lips. "… YOU are my breakfast…?" A large red blotch appeared on his cheeks… Awwww, so cute… but he smells like soup and something else… that new cook needs to be fired. "So, Naruto, was it?" he nodded. "Well, you kinda stink!"

He glared at me. "Hime-Baka!" mumbled but I still heard it and no one calls me an 'idiot' and lives!

"Oi, dobe, what…" O-oh, hehe, I guess that shocked expression on their faces are not surprising, I mean, how would you react when one of your teammates is on the floor, wrestling with a princess? … And the princess is winning… hehe…

"Did we disturb anything?" the silver haired jounin asked, grinning, I think, with his mask I really couldn't tell. And what the hell was that supposed to mean? Pervert! I don't know what Kumi saw in him.

"Naruto! Get off the princess!" the Sakura girl punched Naruto flat on the face, sending him flying across the room… wow, that girl keeps one hell of a mean punch. Mental note: don't make her angry.

Your thoughts…

I gazed out the window and the Arashi castle was the first thing I saw. That castle is Ami's home. Home? It's more like a prison to me. There's no freedom within those walls and yet she stays there, knowing that one day she'll have to rule a country, even though her heart wants to be set free.

I glanced at my watch. Ami should have been here hours ago. Where is she? Did she forget? No, she wouldn't. Something doesn't feel right.

"Itachi-kun, are you okay? You seem troubled, un?" Deidara asked, who was sitting across me in the table. Ami wouldn't be happy but Deidara wanted to go to this restaurant too.

"Could you do me a favor?" Deidara just nodded. I asked a piece of paper and a pen from the waitress then scribbled on a letter. After I was done, I held it out to Deidara who was eyeing it suspiciously.

"What will I do with that, un?"

"Make one of your clay birds then send this to Ami." I pointed to the castle. Deidara reluctantly made a small clay owl. I gave the letter to it and it flew out the window and to the castle.

As I watched the owl fly, a thought came to me. I care for Ami even though I don't say it but we could never be together. She is a princess and I am a criminal. I could never give her the future she deserves…. But as Ami said being selfish is sometimes a gift…

Their thoughts…

Team seven was panting outside Ami's room. They have been running around the castle running after the princess. "I can't take this anymore!!!" Naruto exclaimed. "Why in hell does a princess wants to walk at the edges of the castle roof?!"

"And don't forget almost jumping off the window, climbing the castle walls and digging up a hole near the walls." Sakura added.

"Maybe she wants to go outside." Sasuke said.

"What?! You mean, she's been trying to escape all this time!!!" Naruto shouted again. "Hey, where's Kakashi?"

"With Kumi, and as for the princess, why would she want to escape, I mean, it's like paradise in here! I wouldn't mind being in her shoes!" Sakura commented while imagining herself being pampered by lots and lots of servants.

And at the moment, Naruto felt the certain urge to pee; he dashed out somewhere in search for a C.R., leaving Sakura and Sasuke.

"Oi, Naruto, come back here!" Sakura shouted. "Idiot!"

Naruto was done relieving himself when something caught his eyes outside, he could see a strange bird flying over to the princess' room. "That's weird."

Ami's room…

Ami was sobbing on her bed. For the past hours, she's been trying to escape while trying to avoid her bodyguards. She already tried bungee jumping out her window but Naruto caught her before she could fall, she tried climbing the castle walls but ended up falling on the three ninjas, she even tried tunneling herself out but then she remembered the castle has a huge underground basement which means when you dig 2 feet down you will meet a very hard cement block.

She felt something land on her head. Wait land? She touched her head and almost freaked out when she felt something like clay yet it's moving. The owl flew off her head and in front of the princess. Ami noticed a piece of paper on the owl's beak. She got it and was trilled to see it was from her dearest Itachi.

Ami-hime,

Meet me at the Red Cherry Tree tonight at 9.

I.U.

"Who's I.U.? Your boyfriend?"

"Huh? Ahhh!!" Ami backhanded Naruto on the face. "Uh, Naruto? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Why did you slap me?!" Naruto shouted.

"You deserve it! Do you know it's rude to enter a girl's room without permission? Where did you enter anyway?" Ami crossed her arm and pouted.

"Your window is open."

"Stupid ninjas, why don't you use doors!"

"If we would, we wouldn't be called ninjas now would we? Anyway so you're going to meet your boyfriend tonight? Is he the reason why you keep trying to escape?"

"Escape? Me? Never!" Ami denied. "How could you even suggest…"

"I'll help you!" Naruto interrupted.

"Yes he is my boyfriend and I need to see him! Help me!" Ami was begging now, giving her cutest puppy dog eyes ever.

Naruto grinned. "Leave it all to the greatest ninja in Konoha! You don't have to worry your little princess head…"

"Little princess head? Are you saying I'm stupid?"

"Ah… Well…"

Then another wrestling match started.
