The Princes and Princesses

This is an AU story about the life three princesses have to live, if they are to fall in love before the wedding. I don't own Naruto, by the way.

By the next day, the knowledge of the grooms for the three princesses had become known to everyone. And so, everyone was waiting for the grooms to show up. As per the request of the people, the three princesses would meet their grooms in the main square, so that everyone could see them.

And so, Sakura, Ino and Hinata sat, waiting patiently for their grooms, at a table set up in the middle of the square, with their parents standing behind each of them. To dress up for the occasion, Sakura wore a pink robe, with the symbol for fire in a circle on the back. Ino and Hinata wore similar outfits, but Ino's was purple and Hinata's was lavender. "They're late", Sakura asked with impatient, "How can they be so late." At that moment, a fairly big carriage came into the square.

As soon as it stopped, a man stepped out. He had spiky silver hair, an eye-patch over his left eye, and wore a mask up to his nose. He also wore a green vest, a black jumpsuit, and sports iron gloves. "Hello there," the man said.

"You're late," Sakura said, a little ticked. "Well, you see," the man said, "one of the wheels broke, so we had to stop and get a new one." That seemed true enough, but everyone knew it was a lie, seeing as the only place to get a new wheel was in town.

You see, the real reason that they were late was… well, you don't want to know the full reason, but I will tell you that it involves the three princes having one of their usual fights, and then healing up from that fight.

Anyways, Inoichi walked forward and said, "Welcome, great prince." "Huh," the silver-haired man said, "oh, no, I'm the adviser of one of the princes. My name, is Kakashi Hatake." The three princesses were a little surprised (and a relieved) to hear this.

"Anyways," Kakashi said, standing aside, "let me introduces the prince I help advise with. His name is…" "Don't bother," a somewhat cold voice said from inside the cart, "I can introduce myself just fine." Just then, two boys, one with spiky black hair and dark eyes, and the other with matted black hair and pale skin.

"I," the fist boy said, scowling, "am Sasuke Uchha, prince of the fan country." He wore dark blue robes with a fan symbol on his back. "And I," the second boy said, giving a fake smile, "am Sai, of the shadow country." Sai was wearing a robe too, but his was almost as black as his hair.

'He's cute,' Sakura thought, looking at Sasuke, 'but the other one isn't really… well, I guess he's ok, but just as a friend.' 'Wow,' Ino thought, 'two cute guys. I don't know who to pick.' Then Ino remembered that the prince's were the ones who were going to do the picking, not them. Hinata's mind, however, was a blank. Not many people outside the palace knew this, but Hinata was more attracted to blonds than anyone else.

"Hey, wait a second," Sakura said, "weren't there supposed to be three of you? Where's the third one?" Sasuke, and Kakashi looked around, a little confused. Suddenly, two poles shot up from the cart. 'What,' Tsunade thought. 'Is this an attack,' Hiashi thought, getting ready fight, if need be.

The two poles dug into the ground at the other end of the square. From the darkness over her head, everyone deduced that the two poles were attached to a thick veil. Just then, red, green, and blue light began flashing as music began playing. "What's going on," Ino asked out loud. "What's with the music," Sakura asked. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of the three princesses. "What the," Sakura said.

Suddenly, a boy with a black bowl-cut hairstyle and thick eyebrows appeared behind the three princesses. "The world is full of powerful men," he said, throwing rose petals into the air, "and yet, there is only one who is the best."

Then, a girl that had brown hair with two buns in them appeared in front of them. "His love and kindness are like a sea in the ocean of the world," she said. Then the boy joined the girl, and they said together, "Please help us in welcoming Naruto Uzumaki, the prince of the fox country."

Just then, a great wind came up and shredded the veil over their heads. When the three princesses could see again, they saw a blond, spiky haired boy in a light-blue robe standing across from them, holding out two fans with a nine-tailed fox symbol on each of them.

"Hello," the blond boy said, "glad to see you once more." "One of us has to marry this guy," Sakura said, a little nervously. "He's a loon," Ino said, a little shocked. Hinata said nothing, but blush at seeing the boy. "Hoora," the eyebrow-boy and the hair bun-girl said together, "hoora. Hoora, hoora, hoora!"

Naruto walked up to the three princesses and presented a rose. "So glad to meet you," he said, taking Sakura's hand, and bringing it forth to kiss it. Suddenly, a foot came down onto the back of Naruto's head. "You idiot," Sasuke yelled at Naruto, rubbing his face in the dirt, "What kind of entrance was that?"

"What," Naruto said, once Sasuke finally took his foot off him, "you said first impression is everything. It made me look cool." "No," Sasuke said, grabbing Naruto's collar, his voice growing louder, "it made you like a complete idiot!" Sai just stood there, still giving off his fake smile.

As Naruto sand Sasuke continued to fight, Sakura grew more and more impatient. Finally, she'd had it. Sakura brought down her fist, smashing the table (and some of the ground under her) in two. "WILL THE TWO OF YOU STOP FIGHTING," Sakura shouted.

Sai, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto stared at Sakura in surprise. Everyone else stared at her in horror. 'Great,' Tsunade thought; 'now the other's will be too scared to fall in love with her when she gets married.' Sasuke let go of Naruto, walked over to Sakura, stood her up, and looked deep into her eyes. Then Sasuke smiled. "YOU'RE PERFECT," Sasuke shouted.

"I'm what," Sakura said, surprised. "She's what," Tsunade said a little loudly, more shocked then Sakura. "SHE'S WHAT," the crowd shouted at once. "You're perfect," Sasuke said again, "I chose you as my wife." "Hey," Naruto said, "that's not fair. Who said you could be the one to choose first."

Sasuke turned to look at him. "We already decided," he said, "with that ridiculous game, remember." "I told you," Naruto said, "that didn't count. You used your sharingan. How else could you have won every single time?" "You're just predictable," Sasuke said. (A/N: For the record, the guys decided who would go first with 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'. And, yes, Sasuke did use his sharingan.)

"If it will make you feel any better," Sai said, smiling his fake smile again, "you can take my turn." "…I guess it's ok," Naruto said, still sulking. Naruto walked over and looked at the two remaining girls. Truth be told, he had wanted Sakura as his wife, but Sasuke had her now, and Naruto had seen, or rather heard of, too many battles that had been fought over a woman.

'Hm,' Naruto thought, 'I wonder who's more…' then, he closed his eyes, put his hands together, with his index fingers pointing up. To most people, this would look like he was thinking. Sasuke, Sai, Kakashi, and Tsunade weren't most people.

Suddenly, a great wind, like the one that shredded the veil, came across the square. "What was that," Naruto said, after it passed. Sasuke, Sai, Kakashi, and Tsunade were no fools. They knew that Naruto had something to do with it.

'Now,' Naruto thought, 'let me take a better look at them.' Naruto looked at the two remaining princesses. The wind torn their clothing a little, so it was somewhat easier to see what they looked like without the outfits on. She was just how her outfit had made her look before it was cut. A great body with a c-cup sized chest. 'She's hot,' Naruto thought to himself, 'now let's see what the other lo…' Naruto stopped. Then his nose shot a small amount of blood out.

Hinata was lying on the ground, her legs spread, and her body's figure exposed. And she was hot. Not only did she have an hour-glass figure, but also had long hair and a D-cup size chest to go with it. She was more beautiful than she had seemed to originally be, but to Naruto, she was also the sexiest woman he'd ever seen. He had to be with her.

"I CHOSE YOU," Naruto shouted, his eyes like hearts, running over to Hinata. 'Pervert,' Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, and their parents thought as Naruto rubbed his cheek on Hinata's arm. If they could read minds, however, they would have seen that it was taking what little self-control he had at that moment to not rub his cheek on her leg, instead of her arm.

"I guess that leaves me with you," Sai said, walking over to Ino. He smiled his fake smile, and held out his hand. Up close, Ino could now tell the smile was fake, but didn't care. She'd have to put up with it anyways.

"Great,' Tsunade said, hope to end this now, "your respective husbands have been chosen. I hope you all live happily ever after." Tsunade looked from Sasuke, who was looking happy, but quite bored with the whole thing, to Sakura, who was looking both nervous and displeased at the same time, to Naruto, who was looking at Hinata with hearts in his eyes, to Hinata, who was looking away from Naruto, with a nervous blush on her face, to Ino and Sai, who didn't look any different than before, except that they were now standing right next to each other. 'I don't think this will work,' Tsunade thought, 'but one can hope, right? Right?'

Ok, I'm sorry if the story seemed a bit weird, but I began having a bit of a mental block on it part way thru. Also, I'm losing some interest in the story, but I'd still like to continue, so I'd like some ideas on what to write next. And, honestly, I'm not any better at writing love stories than I am at action scenes; so I'd really like your help. (Except for the end. I know what I want to put at the end.)
