A/n: Ok, next chapter, here we come!
Chapter 4 The Uchiha's Place
Sakura sighed. She was currently waiting at the drawbridge in a pink cloak with a hood, holding one bag of luggage in her hand. Well, it wasn't because she didn't have much stuff. It was only because she couldn't carry the rest and had to wait for Lee and Gai to carry it all out. While in the process of waiting, Lord Haruno came out carrying a few things.
"Sakura!" The Lord called. She turned around gasping.
"Father! What are you doing here?" She asked. She stared at his things and was about to ask when he suddenly interrupted,
"Sakura, sweetheart, since I'm not probably going to see you anymore, I needed to give you a gift. He brought up a black cat with a beautiful pink bow around its neck. Sakura gasped. She held out her hands, took the kitten in and stroked its black fur.
"Its so cute!" She said, she raised the kitten up to the sky and said, " I name thee, um, Shadow!" She kissed the kitten's forehead and cuddled it.
"Shadow, oh well, name it whatever you want." King Haruno said. Sakura whispered a thank you and watched as the Uchiha's carriage came into the palace gates. Glancing around, she saw them stop as they loaded Neji into a bar cage with wood around it.
"Oh Sakura, my darling!" Sasuke, jumped out of his carriage. He kneeled before Sakura, took her hand and kissed it. "Your carriage awaits." He said.
Sakura looked at her father for the last time, gave a quick hug and slowly stepped into the carriage. Sasuke jumped in after her. As it started to leave, she stuck her head out through the window to look at her home for one last time. All the good and bad memories that she stored in this kingdom was now to be left there. She sighed.
"What's wrong my princess?" Sasuke asked, "I think you would LOVE my castle. We prepared a special room just for you." Sasuke continued bragging, " Our castle is a lot more fitting for a princess then your shall ever be. We have stairways made of marble and glass, the entire castle is polished every single minute. We have a beautiful lake right next to it, and the top body guards a lady can ever need. What do you think?" Sasuke asked. No replay. "Sakura?" Sasuke asked again. He leaned forward to find out that she fell asleep.
Half an hour later….
"Sakura darling, were here!" Sasuke shook Sakura until her eyes fluttered open. She yawned. She opened the door to the carriage and stepped out to find a shining palace right in front of her. She gasped at the sight. But then, suddenly, reality hit her.
"Where's Neji!?" She asked as she whipped around to see.
"Ah, its alright, my guards have already taken him down to our dungeon. You need not to worry about that bastard anymore." Sasuke complied. "Now, let me show you your room. The servants shall bring your luggage up." He took her hand but she snatched it back.
"Wait, let me at least get something." She raced toward her luggage to the cage where she kept Shadow. She took him out and stuck him in her front pocket since he was so small. (Yes, the cat is a guy.) "Now, I am ready." And she took off after Sasuke.
As she entered her room in the tower, she gasped. The walls were decorated with paintings of cherry blossoms and the light made the whole room sparkle.
"I'm glad you like it." Said Sasuke, "Dinner will be at 6. I shall have someone call you for then." And he left the room. Sakura put Shadow on the floor and they both leaped onto the bed. After a moment, she stood up straight again.
"Oh no, I forgot all about Neji." She claimed. She took out her black cloak and hid Shadow in there as she raced back down the stairs and into the kitchen. All the chefs stared for a split second then bowed down.
"Your majesty." They all said in unison. Sakura blushed.
"Oh, please don't do that," She said." Everyone, get up. I just came to ask if you could make me a quick bento box."
The head chef looked up "Of course your majesty, right away." Then he and all the other chefs were busy. In about 5 minutes, they handed it to her. She raced down the stairs into the dungeon area.
On Neji's side…
Yet again, he was placed at the BOTTOM floor of the dungeon. Neji sat there on the dusty dungeon floor with absolutely nothing to do. 'Why is it always me,' he thought. His stomach grumbled. In moments time, he felt dizzy and fell asleep.
On Sakura's side….
Sakura finally made it. As she caught her breath, she walked along the bars until she found the right one. She tugged on the iron bars. It was locked tight. She looked around when she noticed keys hanging on the wall not far from here. 'Their so smart,' she thought. 'What type of idiot leaves the keys there without a guard.' She took the keys and unlocked the door. She looked at the bandages she had put on Neji's foot. It was all dirty and scratched up. She knelt down and sat on the floor. As she brought his foot onto her lap, Neji suddenly gave a yelp of pain and woke up. (Yeah, I know. That's not like him huh?)
"huh, its you again." He said. Sakura put a finger in front of his mouth. "Ssshhh." She said. She slid the bento box up to him and finished changing the bandages. She watched as he ate starvingly, then took the box back with her as she went back up the stairs.
