Hi guys, I back again! Any of my readers for my other stories I apologize for not updating but we had a snow day here so I got to finish this earlier then excepted!

Hey, does anyone remember the room I told you guys about that never opens for anyone? That's what this chapter is about! The whole chapter is in mostly Sakura's POV. I like it so I you do as well. Bye!


I wake right after the gorgeous sunset. Will I ever be able to see the sunrise again? Probably not, it may kill me.

As I look to the picturesque scene through the window I noticed that the castle is too quiet. The warm body at my back is still. I look over my shoulder to see my husband's pale face. "What did he do to tire himself out like?" I think to myself as I begin to try to awaken him.

"Itachi, Itachi, Itachi, wake up."

I get no response at all, not even a flicker of his eyes. Now I know that there is something going on here.

I jump out of bed still dressed in my plain pale green yukata and matching silk slippers. I turn the knob excepting the volume of an active castle to push me back inside.

Silence.

That's what greets me as I step out the door.

Where is everyone?

I begin to run down the stairs looking for a sign of activity. No servants looking at me in awe. No court members to scold me for my appearance. There is no one at all. I hear a groan that is heard throughout the entire castle. There it is again! I quickly speed back up the stairs to my room. It's getting louder. I travel up to the eleventh floor of the castle. It's still up higher then this, I can hear it!

I travel down the many corridors until I reach the end. Its here I can feel it! The groan feels as if it's right in front of me but there's a solid stone wall. Damn it, where is it? I punched the wall in frustration and see the stone sliding away. Found it!

The wall reveals a spiral staircase. After taking a quick peek I decide there is no way to go but up. Luckily, the stairs has torches lighting the way

When I was about to give up hope of reaching the top a door appears. Its silver lining and knob makes it stand out in the dark. After taking hold of the knob I feel a prick. I gather my wits about me and stand close to examine the door. The prick causes a miniature puncture on my index finger. A strange force compels me to let the droplet fall to the floor.

(Drip)

The silver in the door gave a glow. The creak of the unused door met my ears.

A burst of wind began to open the door wide.

Taking a step into the hall of the room I see the far walls littered with weapons. The torches in this room gave a very dim light. On a large stone pedestal at the far end there was a leather bound book.

'Curiosity killed the cat' I think amused to myself with this strange situation.

Opening up the book itself is a chore. I lay my hand palm down on the book. I feel the now familiar prick on my hand. As I press now my blood hand to the cover the book flips itself the first page. Surprisingly my hand is completely clear of blood. Taking a peek at the page I see my own name printed in a fancy script in a burgundy color. It's my own blood I realize soon after. The most shocking thing is that it nothing about this scares me. The blood, the weapons, the groans, the creepy stairway, and the book does not scary me, it excites me and makes me feel as if I belong in this room.

The pages flip again, laying on the page are the words "you're not afraid?"

I shake my head at this question.

The page bleeds to show the statement "you should be."

"Why?" I ask it.

"Foolish girl, people in this castle wish to kill you."

"Why?"

"You were not meant to be here. Your husband was not meant to find you yet."

"When was he meant to find me then?"

"After a great tragedy."

"The kings died."

"You are not as foolish as I thought. Yes, they died but the tragedy came after that."

"What is the tragedy?

"I am not allowed to say."

"When is it going to happen?"

"Soon."

"How soon?"

"I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SAY!"

"What are you allowed to say?"

"The kings were murdered but you have to find out by whom. I am sorry but I have to go"

"HEY, WAIT! Why is everyone asleep?"

"They will wake up as soon as you leave here."

"What?!"

"Silence girl, someone is a wake who is not suppose to be and they are after you!"

"Help me, there is only one way out that I know."

"I will make a map of this entire castle for you! Rip it out and run!"

The book flips to the last page where a map appears as the door is being forced open.

The book opens one last time with the words "good luck!"

After seeing the shadow coming from behind me, I run to the nearest exit. Even when I follow the twists and turn but the shadow never leaves my sight. As I try to turn the knob I find the door won't open.

"Please open, please." I whisper to it kindly.

The door wenches open at her plea.

"Thank you."

A pale hand reaches to grab my arm.

"Nooooo!"

My body produces a luminescence glow which blinds my attacker. The door, sensing my despair closed itself on my attacker.

Racing down the stairs I run into Itachi. He grabs a hold of me and began to run his hands around my body checking for my injuries. He notices my wince when he touches my sore arm. Ripping my sleeve off, he sees the hand-shaped bruise. "What happened to you koi? I heard you scream."

I bury my face in his chest and starts to sob out "Someone's trying to kill me." and falls unconscious.

"Shh, you're safe now." He carries her to there room and tucks her into their bed.

He finds the page crushed into her fist. The map disappeared and reappeared into the two words that worried Itachi.

Protect her.

Looking down at his scared angel he whispers in her ear. "I am going to find out what happened to you. I will always protect you."

With a kiss to her forehead he leaves to find his wife's attacker.
