Switched
Chapter Eleven – Till Death Do We Part
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the other non OC's in this story.
Summery: What if the royal son and a peasant girl are "accidentally" switched at birth? And what if they eventually fell in love? AU.
"What, you didn't expect me not to be part of this, did you?" Hanto growled, holding Sakura to him and holding her tightly by the middle. He pressed his knife harder on Sakura's neck.
Sasuke growled and his eyes flashed red, "Let her go, you bastard!" he yelled, holding up his blade and pointing it at Hanto's face.
"Make me!" Hanto growled, holding Sakura tighter.
Sasuke glared at him for a moment before began running toward him. He had his sword over his shoulder as to swing it at the Prince. Hanto pushed Sakura in the way of him, but Sasuke was smarter then that.
He smirked.
The raven haired man passed him and turned on one heel and plunged his blade into Hanto's shoulder and cutting the thong of Sakura's necklace. The jewel clattered at her feet. Sasuke bit his tongue.
He could have hurt Sakura badly.
Hanto yelled in pain and threw Sakura away from him and stumbled away from Sasuke, over some of the wall's rubble. He turned to face the Uchiha/Haruno male, clutching his bleeding shoulder.
"That was smart, Sasuke." Hanto spat.
"I thought so too." Sasuke growled, holding his sword at ready.

Sakura stood, clutching the jade crystal to her chest, tears spilling from her eyes. This was all a dream. None of it was real. She would open her eyes and she would be in her bed and she would get up, like any normal day, and be bored. Everything had to be a dream. Sasuke, Naruto, Hanto, Itachi, the King and Queen. She would be with her real parents when she woke up. Sasuke would be the prince of the kingdom and Naruto would be her best friend since babyhood.
So she slowly opened her eyes. The nightmare was her reality. Sasuke and Hanto were glaring at each other and Kotuz had just thrown Naruto off of him. Naruto rolled to a stop, unconscious. What had that bastard done to Naruto?!
Kotuz raised his staff to Sasuke's back.
Sakura would have to worry about Naruto later, Sasuke was about to die if she didn't help him.
A bolt of lightning flashed from the staff tip and Sakura threw in front of the bolt, holding the jewel to her chest, over her heart and closing her eyes. She could almost feel the lightning surging through her whole entire body. But she never did.
She opened her eyes again. Her jewel was sparking with the electricity that the old man had sent at Sasuke. Sakura's lips formed a half-smile and she looked up at the old man. Kotuz was looking at her nervously.
Her jewel sudden sent the same lightning bolt back at Kotuz, hitting him square in the chest. Making sure that Kotuz wasn't about to wake up anytime soon, Sakura ran over to Naruto and knelled next to him. She felt for a pulse and sighed in relief. It was pumping fast but it was pumping either way.

Sasuke saw a flash of light and turned, looking for where it had come from. He felt Hanto behind him and the brunette man grabbed the back of his leather armor and forced him around, grabbing Sasuke's neck and holding him there, his grip getting stronger and stronger until Sasuke could barely breath.
"You're dead, Sasuke." Hanto growled, he brought his knife up to Sasuke throat before Hanto suddenly coughed up blood onto Sasuke's face. He looked down and saw Sasuke's blade sticking in and out of his heart.
Hanto twitched and let go of Sasuke, falling to the ground, cold and like stone.
Sasuke landed on the debris covered ground and coughed, holding his neck gingerly. That dead bastard had a mean grip. He whipped off Hanto's blood in disgust, "Yuck, bastard-blood."
He looked up when his name was called. Amaya was rushing toward him, golden locks bouncing as she ran. His foster mother dropped down beside him, "Sasuke, are you alright?"
"I think so."
"What about Sakura and Naruto?"
Sasuke blinked and turned to look around at his friends. Sakura was helping Naruto to his feet. He looked as normal as a dope could be. And Sakura. Her dress was ruin and dirty, but she would always be his beautiful angel. Sasuke turned to Amaya and said, "Can you tell the King and Queen that everything is alright? And oh. The wedding can't continue without a groom so it's now canceled."
Amaya's attempt at a chuckle failed as she stared at Hanto's body.
Sasuke stood up and stumbled over to his two best friends. He rested a hand on Sakura's shoulder and she slowly turned to look at him.
"Sasuke."
"Sakura. I want to tell you something."
Sakura looked up at him questioningly. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "'Til death do we part."
"What does that--" Sakura began to say, but was interrupted by his lips on her own. She slowly let herself melt into his kiss, closing her eyes, enjoying every moment of it, even when he bit her lower lip, asking for entry. She smiled into the kiss at that and broke it, pulling back slightly.
"Not in front of the parents." she told him, winking.
"Damn."

Wow! That was officially the last chapter! I love how it ended, by the way, with Sasuke cursing. Possible epilogue. Sequel for sure. And remember, it'll be a Naruhina fic, most likely one-shot.
Thank you all for reading Switched! I love you all for reading it, too! I'm glad you liked it! Heheheh.
Tell me in your review if you guys want an epilogue or not!
