Hey everyone! Thanks for your reviews! Oooh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! So here is chapter 2! Enjoy! ^_^
I don't own Naruto! T_T LOL
______________________________________________________________________
Sakura, Hinata, and their mother were near the king's palace.
They walked there because their house was only twenty minutes away from the palace. They lived in a rich place. Their dad couldn't come because he is a general in the king's army and he couldn't attend the ceremony because he had some kind of business to take care of. He would come home once or twice a month. But he was very busy and the king usually sent him to other cities and countries to maintain the peace.
The two sisters were wrapped in veils so their bodies wouldn't be exposed to the sun and the public eyes. Sakura's head was covered with a light pink veil which also covered her upper body. Hinata also wore a veil the same way Sakura wore hers but it was a light purple colored one.
"Maan! I am soo not looking forward to this!" Sakura said signing.
"Sakura! Be more positive like Hinata! I know you don't like the king but if he chooses you...then you don't have a choice but be his wife. Still this can't be changed because you were chosen as a candidate the day you were born. Plus our families were really good friends before....everything changed." Sakura's mom said with a little anger in her voice until the last sentence when her eyes became sad.
"What is it mom?" Sakura asked concerned.
"No, its nothing....I just remembered what happened to the king's family." Sakura's mom said with her eyes saddening even more.
"Oh..I am sorry." said Sakura and lowered her eyes.
She knew what happened with his family but not in details. She heard her father telling her mother when she was about twelve years old that his parents were killed. Her saddened at the thought. She shouldn't be so cold towards him. Maybe that's why he had that attitude.
"Well, let's not think about sad things! There is an exciting day ahead of us!" Sakura's mom said with a smile.
"Well at least I will get to see my little sister's happy face!" said Sakura while smiling through her mask.
Hinata blushed at the comment. Hinata was only one year younger than Sakura but still Sakura called her little sister. Sakura is sixteen and Hinata is fiveteen.
"Its good that Naruto-sama decided to have the ceremony here and at the same time as Sasuke-sama's ceremony!" Sakura's mom said with a huge smile on her face.
"Yeah, that's very nice of him!" Sakura said.
Sakura, Naruto, and Hinata were friends since they were eight years old. The Uzumaki, Haruno, and Uchiha families were very good friends because their parents were all childhood friends. Sasuke wasn't friends with Sakura and Hinata because he was busy impressing his father by studying and training.
"I guess..I'll try to be nicer towards the king." Sakura smiled to herself as they entered the kings beautiful and huge palace.

"Well, well who do I see here? If it isn't forehead girl!" Ino said with a smirk.
"Same to you pig face!" Sakura replied back with a smirk.
"You haven't even seen my face forehead!" Ino replied with a slight hint of anger in her voice.
"I don't need to because even if I see your face you would still look like a pig!" Sakura said with an even bigger smirk.
Ino was fuming with anger now.
"Well we will see who will be calling me a pig face when I will get married to my wonderful Sasuke-kun!" Ino said with sparkling eyes.
"I'll be only glad for you. But don't forget about his first wife. I heard she is selfish and ugly." Sakura said.
'Well she is right about that.' Ino thought to herself.
"Well good luck Ino-pig!" said Sakura as she walked off and got in the line with other candidates.
_____________________________________________________________________
There was a total of five candidates for each king. Naruto decided to choose a wife in Sasuke's castle because the most important candidate lived in the city that Sasuke ruled over. So she didn't have to go all the way to the city he ruled over plus he wanted to see who his best friend would choose.
Sasuke was sitting on the throne and about a meter away Naruto was sitting in his throne which the servants had to carry all the way from another city. Five girls were lined up in front of each of them and a man was announcing their names as each of the girls bowed.
Ayame Yamagata, Ino Yamanaka, Aoi Suzuki, Sakura Haruno, Utada Takahashi. After all the names have been called each candidate had to walk to the king so he could take a better look at them. Each candidate came up to the king but he looked like he didn't have any interest in any of them. Once again as each candidate came out to the king their names were called out.
Ino Yamanaka. As she came up to the king you could see her smiling through her dark purple mask. She bowed as her eyes were sparkling. Sasuke took a look at her.
"Next...." he said without emotion.
'WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME! HOW COULD HE RESIST ME AND MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!' Ino thought to herself as she descended the small stairs and went back to the line.
Aoi Suzuki. Sasuke just glanced at her.
"Next...." he once again said.
Sakura Haruno. Sasuke glanced up. His eyes widened. She had beautiful emerald eyes that were filled with life and mysteries. Her abnormal pink hair were sticking out a bit under the veil that covered her head. He was amazed at her beauty. He wondered what she could be hiding under that veil. If her eyes were so beautiful what would her body and face look like.
"Her!" Sasuke said.
Sakura was shocked as were all the candidates.
'That's my girl! I knew he wouldn't be able to resist her. After all she gets her beauty after me! ' Sakura's mom thought as a huge smile emerged on her face.
'WHAT! IS THIS A JOKE! HE CHOSE ME!' Sakura was so shocked and sad. But at the same time excited because she wanted to show him what she got!
Naruto of course without a doubt chose his wonderful Hinata. She blushed when the man haven't even announced her name Naruto said that he chooses her. She blushed madly as she almost lost her balance but Naruto caught her. The whole crowd of guests got up from their sits as they were shocked at the kings reaction.

"I am so proud of you girls! I didn't doubt for even a second that you two would be chosen! said the girls' mom as they were led by a moon to a meeting room after the ceremony.
As they entered the room the man motioned for the to sit down at the table. The two kings were sitting at the end of the table. One on one end and the other on the other end.
"Welcome, please join us for lunch." said a man with long brown hair and lavender eyes. He worked for the king and he also was Sakura's and Hinata's cousin. He was Sasuke's right hand.
Both girls smiled at him through their masks and sat down at the table. Naruto was looking at Hinata with a huge grin.
Hinata Haruno. Tomorrow morning you will be picked up by the king's caravan and you will travel to the king's city. Please have all your belongings ready.
The city that Naruto ruled over wasn't that far away from the one that Sasuke ruled over.
It was only two hours away.
Sakura Haruno. You too will be picked up by the king's guards tomorrow morning. Have your belongings ready. You will be showed around the castle. The marriage ceremony will be in three days which is Friday unless the king changes his mind.
As Neji kept talking Sasuke was staring at Sakura the whole time. She felt herself being watched by him which made her uneasy. Sasuke was excited to see her without the veil and get to know her but he only would see her without the veil on the day of their marriage.
When the meeting ended the Haruno family headed home.
As Sakura crawled in her bed and laid down she remembered his charming onyx eyes. A blush came up to her cheeks.
'Why was he staring at me like that! It's like he saw through me!' she thought to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

"I'll miss you Hinata-chan!" the girls' mother said with tears in her eyes as she gave her daughter a hug.
Sakura gave her sister a hug.
"I'll miss you little sister!" Sakura said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'll miss you too, Sakura-chan! Please take care and tell me how everything goes!" Hinata said as tears were running down her face.
A minute later the guards knocked on the door and asked for Hinata's belongings.
Another two minutes later Sasukes guards came to get Sakura's belongings.
The family came out to their front yard as they saw Naruto's caravan. Naruto stuck out his head out of this carriage like thing which four men in the front and four men on the back were caring.
Sakura came up to Naruto.
"You better take care of Hinata! Or else..." Sakura's eyes turned red and she made an evil face.
Naruto backed away from her sensing the killer intent.
"Of course Sakura-chan!" Naruto replied. Even though he was a king he was still scared of her not even his guards would be able to stop her from attacking him. It happened about tree times that he got her mad. But the third time he got her really mad and she almost ripped his head off.
Hinata got into the carriage like thing with Naruto's help and the caravan started moving. Sakura and her mother waved at them.
The carriage like thing was waiting for Sakura.
"Oooh Sakura! I will miss you!" Sakura's mom gave her a hug.
"Its okay mom! We will be able to see each other! Plus we live only twenty minutes away from the palace." Sakura said as she got on the carriage like thing.
Twenty minutes later they got to the castle. Neji greeted her. The castle's little towers were rounded.
A/N: Like the ones in Aladdin! ^_^
She still was amazed at how big and beautiful the palace was.
"So, Sakura! There are a total of three hundred rooms in this part of the palace and two hundred in the other part! So do you want to get started?" Neji said.
Sakura's jaw dropped under the mask. Why the heck did he need so many rooms!
"Aaah this will be a long day!" Sakura said as Neji chuckled at her expression.
