ELLO!!!!!

Just wanted to say that even though I would love it I don't own Naruto.

-3-

Sakura lay on her back on the double bed that was in the tower. Today had been very eventful for the imprisoned princess. News had gone out between the princes that the princess had spoken to one prince and a whole bunch had came by her tower in order to woo her.

That is until Neji got word of it and immediately put a stop to it. Clamming that any prince who visits the princess before the tournament will be disqualified. No one dared visited her anymore.

Sakura had gotten a note from Ino about the plan to get her out of the tower, it was good but it had some major flaws.

Hinata had sent a book about a adventurous young girl who sail the ocean with a pirate. Seeing as there are no pirates in Konoha, Sakura decided not day dream about it. 'You're only saying that so you can day dream about prince Sasuke.' 'HEY I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!!!'

Sighing the princess sat up dangling her feet over the edge of the bed, when she heard shuffling of feet outside the window.

"Who goes there?" Shino said as he pointed the long spear at the shadow of a person coming towards him.

"Calm down Shino, it's only me." Queen Tsunade said stepping out of the woods two guards trailing behind her.

Shino bowed. "My Lady." He said once he had straitening up.

The queen ignored him. "Sakura!" she called looking at the tower window. Reluclently Sakura came to the window.

"..."

"Sakura dear, are you alright?" queen Tsunade asked.

"Yes Mother I am fine."

"Your father wants to know if you will accept your duties as a princess, so we can let you out of the tower." Tsunade said. Sakura thought about this for a minute.

"What's the catch?" the princess wondered aloud.

"Dear, this was a mistake, keeping you a prisoner, but you cannot be seen by the princes so you have a choice." The Queen paused. "You can some out and be locked in you room or stay in the tower till the tournament has been won."

"it's not right to keep me prisoner but if I am in my own room you it's not considered holding me prisoner???" Sakura was furious. "I'd rather stay in the tower then!" the princess stormed into the tower and refused to come back out until the queen had left.

-xoxoxox-

"Do you think I should have taken the deal?" Sakura asked Shino. The queen had left over an hour ago and Sakura was already rethinking her decision.

"Personally I would have said the same thing you did," Shino answered. "The castle is full of princes and none seem to want to leave you alone."

"So staying in the tower was a good idea?"

"Yes."

"Oh ok." Sakura went back into the tower and laid on the bed.

-xoxoxox-

"Sakura refused the offer." Tsunade said looking at her husband sadly.

"That is expected of her, she is very stubborn when it comes to her freedom as a princess." Jiraiya stated. "she gets it from her mother."

"well I want her back down here, I want to she her happy smiling face." Tsunade said sadly.

"Now Dear, Sakura has to learn to accept her duties as a princess and that even though life does not go her way she has to deal with it." Nethier parent knew that as they speak they're daughter was doing the exact opposite in how to be a princess.

-xoxoxox-

'stupid guard stay still.' Sakura was peering out the window at Shino hoping to see him standing directly underneath her. But of course in life things don't always go your way. Shino was waltzing back and forth in front of the door to the tower, thought none could get through because both the door at the base and the door to Sakura's room was locked.

Holding a heavy book that Ino had given her Sakura hoped that along with gravities pull it was heavy enough to knock out Shino so that she could escape.

'oh smart plan on the guard...but how are we going to escape without a rope.' 'Oh. Right, forgot about that part.' 'suuuurrreee you did. And you call me stupid.' 'shut up!'

-xoxoxox-

Hinata and Ino where walking around the camp ground of the princes. The tournament would start in two days. The girls decided since they had the day off to walk around the prince camp and lean more about them.

They came to a small clearing where a few young girls where standing whispering about a young boy.

Looking at each other the two decided to watch and hid in the near by bush.

"Do you have it?" a young girl whispered to the others while watching a young red haired man.

"Right here, answered the others as they pulled out a white cloth embroidered words on it that said. 'PRINCE GAARA THE GREAT!' the girls held up the sign while the leader yelled. 'Oh prince Gaara' in the sweetest voice she could manage.

The red haired fellow looked up at the sign rolled his eyes and marched to his tent.

"Another gaggle of geese my lord?" a man dressed in black head to foot said looking at the prince's facial expression,

"Let's hope that the princess is more pleasing in manner, Kankuro." The prince called Gaara said.

"They say she's fifteen and very pretty.' Kankuro stated.

"They also say she's fifty and resembles a pumpkin." the prince snapped. "Which would be a pity but it's beside the point."

"if a may ask, your highness what is the point?" Kankuro asked looking at his master uncertainly.

"Winning." Gaara said and walked off towards the castle gate.

Hinata was doing everything in her power to control a raging Ino.

"WHEN I GET MY HAN

DS ON THAT STUCK UP LITTLE...MUMP!!!" Hinata covered Ino's mouth with her hand.

"Come on, lets see the other princes." Hinata said calming Ino down a little bit.

There where princes everywhere. Of all shapes and sizes, tall ones fat ones skinny ones, short ones...etc.

The pair had came upon a prince who was doing push ups muttering something about being youthful.

Ino looked at Hinata razing an eyebrow; Hinata looked at Ino shaking her as if to tell her not to ask.

"That's Prince Lee," Hinata whispered. "He's very, um 'youthful'"

"I think he belongs in the loony bin." Ino whispered back and started walking away.

The time pasted Ino and Hinata had passed more princes and talked to a few too. One named Prince Kiba who had a very cute dog with him, another named Prince Sai who was drawing something and the last one Prince Naruto a loud mouth blonde, Hinata really seemed to like him.

Hinata had to leave and Ino was now on her way to give Sakura her dinner and a very long note describing each prince they had seen.
