*~*I Do Not Own Naruto!*~*
Sasuke knew he trusted Sakura no matter what. So he took her hand and she smiled and then began to descend the stairs hand in hand.

Forbidden Magik Chapter 4: Changing Lives

Blood curdling screams filled the room. All we can see is her parents being thrown over the highest balcony down into the underground river. I try my hardest to hold her back ,but I can not. She wrestles got of my grasp. I cannot hold her back. She runs from the hidden room we are. He tries to stop her, too. We had all just seen our worst nightmare. There four of them were brutally murdered; our parents, right before our eyes. We tried our hardest to stay hidden from the beasts that just destroyed all of our lives. She runs forward through the magik filled wall. He chases after her while i cannot move. Fear stricken its like I'm paralyzed. I hear her scream and my heart contracts. I look up to see her being held six feet in the air by a man with scarlet hair the same man who i had just watch murder my parents. I watch as he knocks my best friend out the window over the balcony like they did her parents after he murdered them. He punches her in the face as he beckons the woman who is with him to come nearer. My blood starts boiling I can't take it anymore I run from behind the wall. I try my best to get to her but his companion bars my way. She easily tosses me out the balcony as I see her turning their crystal in her eyes and everything goes black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I shoot up from the bed in which I sleep. Drenched with sweat i look for the one who was at my side that night, but she is nowhere to be seen. I hear the sounds of a flute harmonizing with a bird and I walk to the balcony looking down to see her sitting on a garden bench wonderfully engraved with that of a Sakura Tree.

"Sakura?" Sasuke called her name trying to catch her attention. He goes to the room below to try and speak with her. He calls her name again this time she hears him. "Sasuke? you look stressed is something the matter?" She asks putting her flute away in its case and returning it to the self in the wall. "No nothing just a bad dream." He told her trying to make it seem less real not only to her but also to himself as well. " Sasuke we both know your dreams are not just dreams tell me what did you see." "I saw us you and I and i saw our parents...our real parents and your fake parents murdering them." Sasuke reluctantly told her. "ah I see I remember it well and now you do too." Sasuke didn't reply to her this time. He still was unsure if what she was telling him was real. That his dreams were more than just dreams; that they were memories of their past that had long been erased from everyone's memories. She gave him a look that told him she knew what he was thinking. "Sasuke come with me." She held out her hand to him and waited for him to take it, which he finally did. She led him up the stairs hand in hand almost the way she did last night. She brought him too another room. It was like a small study with books everywhere. "My fake father as you would put it erased everyone's memories and changed the history of this Kingdom, but he was unable to change anything about this room not the magik not the feel of ease that you feel now." Sakura walked over to the bookshelf and pulled out a photo album. She walked back over to him and sat on the over fluffed couch and she opened it, and what he saw he couldn't believe. There was pictures of them from some of his dreams the three of them riding a sled with Kakashi reading his book, the picture of Sakura in the outfit Naruto got her for her 9th birthday, the picture of the fire festival before her 10th birthday the one of her holding the umbrella and he was in the picture, and the picture from the second day of the festival with everyone in it was convincing enough to him to know that it was all real. That he was no is a Prince and so was Naruto. That she was with them for so many years and then everything was taken away from them. He was over whelmed all of these feelings of betrayal started feeling him also guilt filled his heart for not believe Sakura from the beginning. He looked to her to see she was just watching him patiently like she always has. It was as if she had the wait of the world lifted off of her shoulder now that he knew and truly believed that he was a prince.

"What do we do now?" He asked. "Well we can't go back if that's what your asking." She said looking down at her hands. He grabbed her hands and held them in his. "No we won't go back until we can undo what has been done. i meant how do we get out of here we can't stay in the room forever we'll starve." "There's a passage that leads to the underground tunnels in this room."
"Ok so we leave by that passage tomorrow. but we can't go in these clothes we'll be to easily recognized." "There are some spare clothes in one of the drawers." "That's good one last question" "what is it Sasuke?" "What were you going to tell me on your 10th birthday before everything went to hell" "oh you saw that part did you" "yes I did and I frankly want to know" Sakura walked over to the shelf again and pulled out a document and handed it to him. He read it out loud to her. "This Document clarifies that the when the Prince and Princess are old enough to know what love is and have truly felt it with one another that they will be wed. Upon which they are to sign and forever be married...We were betrothed?" Sasuke asked looking up to Sakura to see her facing away from him overlooking the room below. "Yes we were I had just found out and was so excited to tell you then when i walked over to you I was about to tell you and the crashing of the windows came and the screaming and.." She couldn't go on she had burst into tears and Sasuke was holding her in his arms trying to calm her. "Shhhhh Sakura I know the rest shhhhh," He said as he was stroking her long hair trying to calm her. " Sakura were we in love?" "I'm not sure we had almost kissed twice but Naruto ran in the room every time. You chased him with a wooden sword banging him over the head for two hours the second time it happened." She said starting to laugh. "So we were starting to." "I believe so but it was son long ago now i can't remember exactly since that day." She said. She was about to wipe the tears from her eyes but he beat her to it. She leaned into his hand grateful for the gesture. She opened her eyes and looked into his deep onyx eyes and she felt like she was getting lost. She felt like she never wanted that moment to end. Sasuke leaned closer to her. She did the same. When they got to where they could feel each other's breath he spoke. "Do you think we are now?" "I think were starting to" As she said it Sasuke closed the gap that was separating their lips. The raw emotion that filled the room was immense. The kiss didn't last very long but it left both of the out of breath and gasping for air. "Do that again" "oh my dear princess is that an order?" "My prince I believe that's the first order I've ever given you that I wanted for myself" and with that he kissed her again this time with more passion than before.

"Do you know where a pen is?" "In that drawer over there why?" Sakura looked at him confused. Sasuke got up sat her back on the couch and grabbed the pen from the drawer and a book off the desk. "Sakura I couldn't imagine being with anyone but you my heart beats for you and you only. I've protected you for years and I know now that it's been more than just two. I'm going to sign this document and I'll wait forever if I have to for you to sign it as well." "You won't have to I signed it a long time ago." Sasuke looked down at the scroll in front of him and saw a very sloppy signature next to an X. Sasuke gave a small laugh and a smirk and signed next to hers.
