At the month of June, the day before Sakura would leave...

Throughout the months, Sakura had been chasing Sasuke all around the Leaf Kingdom. As she waited at the port, she held a small little flower in her hands. "Where's Sasuke?" she asked Ms. Yuri.

"I have no knowledge of that," the strict young woman replied with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "We must go now, Princess. Your parents are waiting!"

"But-"

"There you are!" Takeshi called from afar. "The Prince is here, Princess. He wished to bid you a farewell before you departed for another eight months."

Sasuke approached the Princess, annoyance plastered across his pale face. "Goodbye, Princess Sakura," he muttered grumpily, knowing that peasants were watching the whole scene. He looked back at Takeshi, who nodded for him to continue. "I look forward to your return." He bowed stiffly.

Sakura giggled and gave him the flower. "Thank you!" she squeaked and boarded the ship. She took a peek out of the window, but gasped when she saw the young Uchiha throw her flower down and step on it. How could he?!

"Goodbye...SAKURA." Sasuke forced a smile and left with Takeshi.

Sakura had finally gotten the hint that he detested her so and frowned. "Fine," she huffed, "If that's how you feel then!"

Fugaku smiled, watching his son return to the castle from his carriage. "This was a brilliant plan! Their engagement is perfect."

Eight months later...

"I can't believe eight months passed already!" Sasuke shouted with grief and picked up a kunai. In his anger, he sliced his air with it. Unconsciously, the kunai's sharp edges sliced through his hair with much ease."Gahhh!" Realizing what he had done, he threw the weapon down and tried to fix his now-spiky hair. "Oh, boy..."

"Sasuke," Mikoto said as she entered the Prince's room, "The Princess has arrived. And- Oh my goodness!" She held her hand in shock. "What have you done to your hair, good word?!"

"Ummm..I...uh..."

"Never mind that." She pushed her son towards the stairs. "We must get going and greet little Sakura. She will be so upset if you don't come to see her!"

Sasuke scowled. "Pfftttt!"

"Hmmm..." Ms. Yuri hummed when she saw the Queen and Prince appear out in the courtyard. "Your Highness, Princess Sakura is here."

"Oh, hello there, Princess," Mikoto greeted with a delighted smile. "And welcome back." She looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke looked back at her and sighed. "Hello," he grumbled.

Sakura was let down of her horse and she looked at Ms. Yuri hesitantly. "But-" The woman's finger pointed at the Prince's way. She sighed. "Oh, okay."

The two approached each other silently, eyes downcast and faces scrunched with hatred. Sasuke was the first to speak...grudgingly. "Hello, Princess Sakura," he grumbled, averting her gaze, "It's very nice to have you back...h-here."

"Why," Sakura replied, her polite tone obviously fake, "Thank you, Prince Sas-" She stopped when she saw Sasuke run back to his mom and frowned when she saw his mom send him back to her. She rose and eyebrow. "Prince Sasuke," she finished coldly.

Sasuke took her hand and looked back at his mom, who was nodding crossly. Aww, man! He looked down at the Princess's hand awkwardly. "...??"

Sakura made an awful face, her eyes flaring. "Well?"

Oh, fine! Geez! Let's just get it over with! Sasuke leaned down and gave her hand a soft peck. He then let it go and straightened back up hastily. "Yuck!" he cried, spitting and wiping his lips with his sleeve. He glared at Sakura. Ewwww! That was so nasty!

Sakura wiped her hand on her skirt while still glaring at Sasuke. About time. With a huff, they turned their backs on each other.

SONG TIME!

"I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer," Sasuke sang to himself quietly and angrily, "I bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt, or box!"

"He looks conceited," Sakura whispered.

"What a total bummer!"

They then sang at the same time, "I'll be lucky if I get chickenpox!" They huffed and began to part, but were pushed back by their guardians to finish their greetings. They rolled their eyes and faced each other once again.

"So happy you could come," Sasuke sang to Sakura sarcastically.

"So happy to be here!" Sakura sang back, faking a smile and happy tone.

HOW I'D LIKE TO RUN!! They continued faking their smiles and voices.

Sakura turned back around, her smile vanishing slowly. "This is not my idea-"

Sasuke shook his head vigorously and turned his back on her. "This isn't my idea-"

"OF FUN!" The duo huffed, folding their arms.

Kakashi, who had accompanied Ms. Yuri and Sakura on their trip, served as Sakura's second guardian- and he was aslo her father's most trusted advisor. "Your Highness," he addressed the Queen, "My King and Queen are quite pleased with the arrangements."

Mikoto smiled. "As soon as my husband comes back from his short trip, I'll be sure to tell him the news." She then laughed and tuned, "The children seem to get along quite nicely."

Unknown to the adults, Sasuke and Sakura were racing down the stairs. Sasuke scampered in a panic, nearly falling. Sakura got ahead of him and tripped him, causing him to fall on the floor. She then jumped on top of him and began to choke him. He pushed her off in response and messed up her hair, pulling on her small pigtails and poking her forehead. She kicked him on the chest and scratched him all over and spat on his clothes.

"We'll join your lands if this arrangement kicks!" Kakashi sang along.

When they turned around, they saw the pair nearly killing each other. They pulled the two away from each other. Mikoto grinned, "Now this is my idea-"

"OF A MATCH!"

Sasuke and Sakura stuck their tongues out at each other stubbornly. "Porcupine-headed goof!" Sakura spat.

"Mountain-headed freak!" Sasuke spat back with the same ferocity. They got a lecture for their 'foul' words.

Sakura was in her new room and was coming her hair innocently. "He is so stupid," she mumbled. "Especially his hair."

Sasuke sneaked into her room and replaced her hair gel with new-picked honey when she went into her closet. He smirked and left silently. That oughtta teach her a thing or two!

Sakura came out with a new orange and yellow dress and looked at herself in the mirror. She sniffed. "What's that smell?" She checked her accesories and makeup to find... "Honey, eh?" She frowned. I bet Sasuke did this. She took the small jar and left her room.

"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto greeted, scratching his spiky blonde hair. "So, annoyed little miss ditsy yet?"

"Shhh!" Sasuke chided his best friend and laughed. "I replaced her hair gel jar with honey! Boy, is she gonna have a bad hairday!"

Plop!

"Ahhhhhh!" Sasuke staggered abckwards and fell down on the marble floor, trying to take the jar of sticky substance off his head. "Ughh! Get it off me! N-Naruto!!"

"Coming!" Naruto helped out his friend, but stopped when he heard giggling.

"Huh??" Sasuke found his strength and got the jar off. He glared at the amused Princess upstairs. "Sakura!"

"Oops," Sakura shrugged, sarcasm in her voice, "Excuse my clumsy fingers. I guess the jar must've slipped. But don't worry. Honey will come off...in about two days!" She laughed hysterically.

"Oh, yeah?" Naruto took the jar and threw it at the girl, hitting her on her head. "Lets see how YOU do!"

"Eeeeeeeppp!" Sakura yelped and threw the jar off her head. "Ew! Ew! Ew! It's all sticky and stuff! Ewwwww!" She looked at her hands in disgust, but then cried when she found her hair gummy and sweet. "Eeeekk! My hair!My beautiful rosette hair!" She glared at the laughing boys below. "You monsters! How could you?!"

"Now we're even!" Sasuke replied, wiping his nose with his finger.

"You are sooooo mean!" Sakura screamed and stomped back into her room.

"Why, thank you!" Sasuke and Naruto mocked and punched knuckles, grinning widely. "Hehe!"

"Yaaaaarrrggghhh!" Sakura came at them with a wooden sword in her hand. "I'm gonna get you guys for this!" She seemed to fly down the stairs- due to her fast sprinting- and swung her sword like a barbarian.

"Uh-oh!" Naruto turned heels and ran, the horrified Prince right behind him. "Thi- This is NOT a way a Princess should act!"

Sasuke ran as fast as his young legs could carry him. "Well," he panted, "Unfortunately, this...THING i-isn't a... PRINCESS! She's a boogie man! A big hairy, scary, gorilla-faced freak!"

Sakura overheard his insults, causing her rage to grow. "Sasuke, royal Prince or not, you and Naruto are going to suffer my wrath!"

"This is definitely not MY idea of fun!" Naruto remarked before the three of them dashed out into the courtyard.
