Sasuke POV:
Night falls upon the village leaving Ayamamiki and Mamoru into the darkness the moon glimmering off the lake. She's so beautiful… It's unthinkable that she wants to stay, here with that creep. What was so special about him, he thought leaning against the tree. It was obvious she wasn't using her head. He could protect her, provide for her like a real man. Not have his mommy and daddy pay for it. His parents… they would be surprised at her too. He looked up at the night sky. "Maybe you could talk her out of it." He turned around and looked at her again, back still against the tree, mesmerized. She was too perfect, too special to let her waste away here. He watched as she walked along the end of the lake, wetting her feet, Mamoru walking at her side. Mamoru growled seeing his shadow. Mizurei looked up, brushing the bangs out of her face.
"Hello?" She said. Sasuke sighed even her voice sent goose bumps down his body. He heard leaves crunching in his direction. He jumped to the branch above the trunk of the willow tree. It was Mamoru the large cat looked up growling. When Mamoru realized it was Sasuke he stopped and walked back to Mizurei realizing she wasn't threatened. He rested against the tree again, sitting on the branch. He just watched her imagining all the wonderful things he could do for her, give her, and tell her. He couldn't shake the feeling that she was making a huge mistake; he would never appreciate her like Sasuke did. "I wish I searched for her, instead of just assuming she was gone. She would have been mine by now, married and maybe even starting a family with her by now." "What am I thinking...I don't care about her, she doesn't care about me...she can rot in hell for all...no" The idea tugged at his heart,he couldn't help it, he couldn't hate her he would die if she was even just his wife. He didn't even need to carry the clan on… he just needed her. His thoughts we interrupted when she began talking to Mamoru the large cat laying his paws and head on her lap.
"I can't believe I'm getting married to that man tomorrow Mamoru. I've fucked up with Sasuke, I set myself up to be truly lost the rest of my life." The cat sighed in agreement. "I should just go back to the leaf with Sasuke. She blew air at the bangs hanging in her face. I ruined that offer didn't I Mamoru?" the cat only opened one eye looking at her like she was stupid. "What?" the tiger shook his head. The tiger got up and walked towards Sasuke's tree scratching at the bark. "Damn cat." Sasuke whispered.
"Mamoru!" Mizurei yelled. He didn't stop, that's not like him. She looked up. "Sasuke…" she whispered under her breath. Bug-eyed for a moment she began running again. Sasuke got in front of her.
"Would you stop running from me Rei." Sasuke asked. She wrapped her arms around herself; she still had his face from earlier etched into her mind. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes. She hated crying.
"What do you want from me Sasuke?" Her voice cracking.
"I want you to come back with me, its obvious you're not happy here. You don't have to come back and be with me Mizurei; I just want you to be happy. God he sounded so cliché. He walked towards her. She took two steps back. He sighed now he was getting frustrated. "Why do you have to be complicated? Huh Rei? I just want you go home where you belong."
"I belong here now." Her voice still shaky. Now he was really agitated.
"No you don't you're an Uchiha by blood! That makes you part of the leaf." His voice getting louder.
"They don't need me there Sasuke, I need to stay her and help Ramuno run this village. I will not be the reason it falls, just so I can run off and live some fantasy romance novel with you Sasuke Uchiha!" she just wanted him to leave denying him was too much.
"Fine, I'll leave you here and you can watch as I find another girl who appreciates me and what I try to do for her!" Sasuke yelled. "I'd rather have some fan girl than be stuck with you for fifty or somewhat years." A tear fell down to the soil beneath Mizurei's feet. She was done.
"Then go Sasuke, your services are no longer needed here. I promise you that. I hope you find that girl who can appreciate your cold-heartedness to the tee. Have a nice life." She walked away heading for her room. She had a wedding to attend…her own.
When Mizurei vanished into the palace he couldn't help but scream at the top of his lungs. He kicked the dirt where Mizurei had just stood. His sharigan eyes ignited, she wasn't staying here. He was taking her, willing or not.
Later that night…
Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke stood outside the palace. "It's two am what do you want Sasuke?" Naruto whined.
"We're taking the princess back to the leaf." Sasuke said calmly, hands in his pockets.
"WHY? I wanted to go to the wedding Sasuke, maybe if I catch the bouquet it could be good luck for us." She gave him a cheesy smile. Sasuke shuddered.
"Anyways…she doesn't want to stay here she belongs in the leaf. She is an Uchiha." Sasuke said still calm.
"What!" Sakura fainted. Naruto yelled.
"Yeah!" Sasuke's got a girlfriend!" He pestered. "Wait is she that Mizurei chick you were talking about?" Naruto asked. The baka had a brain it was a miracle. Naruto helped Sakura up, who was still confused. "But…" she began to whine.
"We don't have time for that Sakura; we got to get Ayamamiki out of here." Naruto said.
"We met at the gate in half an hour, pack up and I'll grab Mizurei." Sasuke said running away.
"Who's Mizurei?" Sakura asked. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"I'll explain later." Naruto pulled Sakura arm.
Sasuke had already packed and snuck into Mizurei's room. She was sound asleep. He looked at her wet pillow. "She cried herself to sleep." He whispered. He never wanted to see her like this ever again. He hated yelling her, the worry of losing her for good. He grabbed Mizurei's flats and slipped them on her feet. She kicked them off. "Geez she's even stubborn in her sleep." He rolled his eyes. He threw the flats in his backpack and picked her up. She immediately nuzzled her head in his chest. He then truly felt like he was doing the right thing and not for selfish reasons. I walked down the hallway and was spotted by the maid who hit on him earlier "Damn it." He mumbled. She strutted over to him and said.
"What's a handsome man like you doing worrying about that petty princess?" She asked.
"Your right I should just kiss you instead." He lied. She believed him and puckered her lips, he gave her a peck on her lips. She swooned. "Now go back to bed." He insisted. She giggled. "Okay." And ran to her room. "Fan girls never fail do they?" He rolled his eyes. Sasuke jumped through the trees to get to the gate. Naruto and Sakura were there waiting. "Let's go." He said. They ran through the trees getting to Konoha as fast as possible.
"I can't believe little Sasuke's got a girlfriend." Naruto provoked.
"I swear if I wasn't holding her right now. I'd so deck you." I said.
"There's the Sasuke I know, not the sap you've been around her the past few days." Naruto teased.
"Well I think this is all a bad idea, risking your life for something as petty as her." Sakura stuck up her nose at the sight of Sasuke and Mizurei.
"Jealous…" Naruto stated.
"Even she can't bother me right now." Sasuke said with a big grin.
"Finally Konoha!" Sakura said. It was about six am. They had arrived at the perfect time. Now to hide Mizurei.
"Thank god. I get to see my lovely Hinata." Naruto said all giddy like.
"Finally, I can have se…a… sleep in my bed again." Sakura covered.
"See ya!" Sakura ran home before they made any remarks.
"I'm happy for you teme. Now I get to see Hinata. Tehehe. See ya!" Naruto poofed.
Sasuke ran home Mizurei in his arms. He walked into the Uchiha mansion and he didn't feel so alone anymore. Laying Mizurei on his bed, he tucked her in. She was finally home. Now the hard part…getting her to forgive him and ultimately…stay.
