"The sun sets and rises from its home beneath the earth,
It is this home I seek that the little girl inside me will return to this place full of family and friends.
Familiar scents and laughter fills the air and the faces I now dare to speak of.
But one face stands out most of all.
The Uchiha that has stolen my heart, Sasuke.
His face blurs now the vision is replaced with the now remembrance of blood and murder.
The murder that has brought me to where I am today, days away from marriage to a man whom I do not love, but because of my new family, blood and so called destiny.
I am forced to forget my childhood memories, for no one is to know these harsh times.
Instead of Sasuke, the man who I dare myself to fall in love with, I am trapped in the sky to love and obey a man as shallow as a lily pond, the one who stares at himself in this pond instead of his newlywed wife.
So here I am trapped in the sky with a white- haired fool, instead of setting into the earth with the sharigan eyes I have loved for years."
Ayamamiki woke up the next morning taken aback by her new surroundings. She figured she should have arrived at the palace by now…but of course she was hoping she was wrong. She sat up and removed her mask, her murky hazel eyes glimmering in the sunshine peeking through the heavy curtains. She got up and went to her closet, there sat her wedding dress, fitted and waiting for her to marry that…man, hardly a man, boy at that. She pulled a royal purple and black laced kimono from the closet and wrapped her moonstone obi around her waist. She walked over to the mirror and brushed her black wavy hair and bangs, she put it in a half ponytail with a purple ribbon just the way she liked it and walked into the empty halls. No one but the employees were up it seemed.
"Where's Sasuke?" she thought. She heard screams from the room next door. She rushed in and saw Sasuke sweating, screaming in his bed. She rushed over and held him, just out of instinct to console someone.
"Okaasan...Otousan!" He screamed.
"Sasuke" I said slightly shaking him.
"Mizurei!" He screamed
"Sasuke, wake up!" I said shaking him wildly now. He woke up and looked me in the eyes.
"Mizurei?" He said. I panicked he couldn't know. I got up and ran away down the halls and through various doors. I heard him running after me I jumped down two flights of stairs and into the woods surrounding the palace. I sat behind a tree to catch my breath. I put my palms to my head.
"How could you be so stupid to take your mask off !" I yelled to myself. I peeked around the trunk of the tree and saw no-one and most importantly, no Sasuke. I picked myself up off the ground and dusted myself off. I walked back to my room carefully making sure no-one saw me to tip off Sasuke if he asked of my whereabouts. I walked into my room and closed the door quietly behind me. I then found myself against the door a bare chest in my eye shot. I looked up, it was Sasuke. He didn't look happy. He had pushed me to the door his arms on both sides of the door trapping me in. I childishly covered my face. "He can't know." I repeated to myself.
"Mizurei?" He asked with a harsh edge in his voice.
"Who's Mizurei?" I sadly played coy.
"Don't pull that bullshit Rei!" I could feel his breath on my hands.
"Can you back up a little bit; you haven't even had time to brush your teeth this morning."
"I will, put your hands down Rei." He demanded.
"I will if you call me by my name, Suke." I said "Shit." I thought.
"Mizurei!" He was seriously pissed now. I lowered my hands to sides and looked him in the face. His sharigan eyes stared at me fiercly and slowly softened to his usual black.
"It is you." He brushed his thumb across my cheek. I closed my eyes at the touch. I really dug myself a hole. "You can't do this Rei, you can't be with him!"
"Don't close your eyes I missed those big hazel orbs." He said. "This is the Suke I remember not the cold man I've seen for the past few days. This was my Suke." We just stood there for awhile just looking at each other, no words, no nothing. Then he spoke.
"What happened to you after the attack?" He asked.
"I was in the street crying in the rain in the village and two Ambu members picked me up and brought me to the Hokage." I sighed. "He kept me there for two days and then sent me to the Rain Village. My parents there were unsuccessful with bearing a child so they adopted me and it made it even more of a deal when I was already a "blue blood". I've been with them ever since, they raised me Sasuke…" I waited for a response but there was none, until he asked.
"Did you ever think about the leaf village, maybe even me, Rei?"
"I did, all the time Sasuke and still do." I admitted. I put my hands on both sides of his face. We stood there again and then he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to her naked, sculpted chest. He snuck his lips under my chin and kissed my lips. They were so soft and warm. I missed him so much and finally I was in his arms. I was surprised when he picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist and layed me down the bed. He didn't stop kissing me, my head was spinning. He finally pulled away and layed down next to me on the bed. I wanted to stay there…forever, but like a clique romance novel…I couldn't. I would disappoint my parents if I dropped out now. What about Ramuno? Sure he was egotistical jerk but he couldn't rule until he was marriage and that wasn't fair to the villagers who need guidance and rules and the children in the village who need a role model…even if he wasn't the best personality to follow Ramuno knows where his duty lies and I have to respect that too…but Sasuke…he needs me too, he's alone in this world except for his friends. Who was going to love him, truly for himself and not his new bad boy attitude and, may I say yummy body.
Even if someone does…no one will understand that night that has seemed to now overtake his life. Also, by the way he's acting my so called death was one of the reasons why that night was so awful. "Sasuke…" I thought. I was interrupted by his voice ask me
"Come back to the leaf with me?" He asked cupping my face. I was paralyzed… I couldn't feel my lips. "Leaf Village, my home… a life with Sasuke. It was all too perfect…too real."
"No." I choked out holding back my tears.
"What?" He sat up staring down at me.
"I can't Sasuke, I'm getting married…remember?" He was getting restless now.
"You can't possibly love that guy Rei!" He yelled.
"Shh." I covered his mouth. "Well I do…and there's nothing you can do about it." I crossed my arms across my chest, wishing he would just leave so I didn't have to watch his face.
"I don't believe you Mizurei I know you better than that, he's not your type…he's shallow."
"Well maybe I've let my money go to my head and have grown shallow!"
"You never would, not you." He looked like he was on the verge of tears his voice cracking.
"Well… I have and I don't want to talk to you anymore so just do your job and go home, so you can move on and get over yourself!" I was so close to tears.
"As you wish, Princess!" I could see his heart break as I watched his face. He slammed the door and left my room. I cried and cried… I couldn't remove his expression from my mind.
"What did you do Rei." I asked myself "How could you." I walked out of my room slowly walking through the halls and down the steps I went down earlier. I hated myself for what I did. For what I did to the guy, I was falling for. I heard kunais cutting the fall air and hitting wood. I poked my head around the corner grasping the stone wall for balance. It was Sasuke and his friends training outside. Sasuke had that cold, emotionless expression on his face again…I hated it. I just wanted to run up and kiss him and tell him I would go back with him…my Suke. I walked across the field just observing their training, precision throws and attacks… almost flawless. Then the loud-mouthed named Naruto spotted me. "Oh geez."
"Princess!" He yelled. I tried walking faster but it was no use. He got in front of me. I jumped back in surprise.
"Sorry Princess. Did I scare you? I yelled your name." He informed me.
"Oh no, I must not of heard you Naruto." I smiled.
"Oh, well I wanted to know if I should wear my uniform tomorrow or a tuxedo." He asked scratching the back of his head. "Is he asking about my wedding tomorrow?" Then Sakura walked over. "Really!" I screamed in my head.
"I think what Naruto means is are we invited to the wedding tomorrow or should we just stay back." Sakura explained.
"You guys are invited tomorrow, no worries. So yes Naruto wear your tux." I cracked a grin.
"Sweet! I'll be there! Believe it!" He shouted.
"I think I'll just lay back for this money agreement." Sasuke said dryly. He had every right to be mad at me. Sakura hit him on the back of the head.
"What do you think your doing talking to the princess like that?" She screamed. Sasuke rubbed his head.
"Excuse my teammates rudeness Ayamamiki." Sakura said sweetly. Naruto and Sasuke looked at her weirdly. "Who the hell shot rainbows up her ass?" I thought.
"What?" she looked at us like we were crazy for staring.
"She wants to go to this wedding bad." Naruto said. She hit Naruto this time.
"Shut up, Naruto!" she yelled. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Well goodnight to you guys." I said and continued walking. My back was turned but I could feel Sasuke's eyes watching me with mixed emotions even I couldn't understand…was he upset or angry. I walked into the woods outside the palace and sat at the nearby river. It was always calming to me when Mommy and Daddy brought me here to visit Ramuno. I then felt a nudge on my shoulder, I hoped it was Sasuke but was releaved when it was just Mamoru. I scratched his head. "Hey boy." I said. He looked me in the eyes. "You wouldn't believe the day I had."
