Hey! Thank you for the reviews everyone! I am really sorry that I haven't updated like in two weeks but I just got a bunch of homework and didn't have the inspiration and time to write! I know these chapters have been boring but I promise it will get better soon! Probably in a few more chapters! Please review and tell me what you think! ^_^
Sakura had woken up early today which wasn't uncommon for her.
She sat there in the kitchen eating her breakfast which she made herself. All the maids were still asleep because it was too early for them to be up.
' Aaargh the wedding is tomorrow and I am already nervous.' Sakura thought as she started washing her dishes.
Then she her someone gasp. She turned around to see Ten Ten.
"Sakura-sama what are you doing? You are not supposed to wash the dishes and where did the food come from?" Ten Ten asked as she started shaking a bit.
"Oh. Good morning Ten Ten. You're up early today. I just made some breakfast." Sakura said as she smiled.
"Oh, Sakura-sama you are not supposed to cook or do any chores! You are the king's wife and he is going to kill me if he knows." Ten Ten answered as she trembled slightly again.
Sakura came up to Ten Ten and put her hand on Ten Ten's shoulder.
" Don't worry. He won't do anything and if he will I will protect you!" Sakura said as se smiled and gave her thumbs up.
Ten Ten blushed and smiled.
"Now I will be cooking the breakfasts from now on. You and the other maids already have a bunch of things to do. Plus it will give me practice. There is some omelet and pancakes left do you want to eat them?" Sakura said.
"Oh, yes if that's okay with you." Ten Ten said as she blushed.
Sakura smiled and went to put the food on a plate.
Sakura set the food on the table and sat down across Ten Ten.
Ten Ten grabbed the fork and carefully put the fork with food in her mouth.
Sakura rested her head in her hands and carefully watched Ten Ten taste the food.
Ten Ten's eyes grew wide and her mouth was half open.
"Well how is it?" Sakura asked. Well the food couldn't be that bad. She ate it and didn't die. But from the expression on Ten Ten's face it was hard to know if the food was bad or good.
"It's-It's...wonderful Sakura-sama!" Ten Ten said as she came out of her shock.
"It's the best breakfast I have ever had!" Ten Ten said as she started eating the food with her eyes sparkling.
Sakura blushed and smiled.
"I am glad you like it." Sakura said as she got up to make some coffee.
Sakura placed the coffee on her and Ten Ten's side.
Her smile faded away and she frowned slightly.
"What's wrong Sakura-sama?" Ten Ten asked as she finished her food and put the fork on the plate.
"I am just nervous about the wedding and also sad." Sakura said as she frowned even more.
"It will be fine Sakura-sama you will be the most beautiful bride in the world!" Ten Ten said as she sipped her cup of coffee.
Sakura smiled a bit.
"And why are you sad? Aren't you supposed to be happy that you are getting married to the king." Ten Ten asked.
"That's the thing. I am getting married to him. He is so arrogant, mean, cold, and he is a total jerk! I always dreamed of getting married to someone I love and who will love me back with all his heart. But it won't come true with this cold jerk."
"Sakura-sama. The king wasn't always like this. He became cold after his parents were murdered. Plus, he is all alone now and carries all the stress of ruling the kingdom on his own after his brother left." Ten Ten said as she frowned a bit herself.
"Oh, yeah! He has a brother. I completely forgot. But where is he? I still don't get why Sasuke-sama is the king. Wasn't his older brother supposed to take over the kingdom?" Sakura asked curiously.
"His brother didn't want the kingdom. He said it was too much work and a lot of responsibilities. He fled away with his wife a few months later after their parent's death and I think Sasuke-sama is holding a grudge for leaving him on his own."
"Hmmm, I see." Sakura said as she pondered.
'Maybe I should stop being so mean to him...' Sakura thought.
"Oh, Ten Ten. I have to do something. Could you please wash the dishes?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, of course Sakura-sama. You don't have to ask me that. It's my job." Ten Ten answered.
Sakura was about to exit the kitchen when she turned around and said.
"Oh, by the way Ten Ten! Please call me Sakura." Sakura said.
"Oh, okay Sakura-sa- Sakura." Ten Ten said as she looked at Sakura.
Sakura smiled and left the kitchen.
Sakura was headed towards Sasuke's room to check if he was already awake.
As she reached the door and quietly turned the knob. The door creaked open and it was pitch dark except a small candle flickering on the bedside table.
She came in and quietly closed the door in case if Sasuke was still sleeping.
She went towards the bed and saw Sasuke sleeping soundly.
The candle that was flickering on the bedside table illuminated Sasuke's face.
Sakura sat at the edge of the bed and gazed at Sasuke's sleeping form.
'Sasuke-kun....' Sakura thought as she frowned.
'Thump'
'Wait! Did I just call him Sasuke-k-" Sakura thought as her train of thoughts got interrupted.
Sasuke was now sweating and his eyes were shut tight as if he was in pain.
"M-Mother.....Father......n-no." Sasuke said out loud as he started shaking.
Sakura's eyes widened as she went closer to his side and climbed on the bed.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said as she put her hand on his forehead.
He didn't have a fever but was sweating and shacking.
She drew her hand away and leaned in and gently kissed him on the forehead like a mother would kiss her baby.
'Thump'
She sat near him and gently lifted him up with all the strength she had.
Now his head was resting on her chest and her hands were securely wrapped around him.
"M-Mother? No, don't die!" Sasuke almost screamed.
"Shhhh. I am here." Sakura said as a tear ran down her face.
"Sasuke-kun.....you must be suffering so much....and you must be lonely....I have been so mean to you." Sakura said as she hugged him even tighter.
'Thump'
She rested her head on the headboard of the bed as she drifted off to sleep.
But she hadn't noticed that the man in her arms was half awake the whole time.
He didn't push her away.
Her warmth was very comforting to him just like his mother's.
He hasn't felt this kind of warmth since his mother died. He didn't even feel this warmth when he was with Karin.
There was definitely something angelic and pure about Sakura that drew him to her. That vibe. Her warmth. Her eyes. Her touch.
"Sakura...." Sasuke mumbled.
He put his arms around her waist as he fell asleep on her chest and with a small smile on his face.
Sakura opened her eyes into darkness. The only light that came into the room was from some light that came from beneath the curtains that were covering every window in the huge room.
Then she realized where she was.
She looked down and saw Sasuke sleeping soundly and his arms wrapped around her waist. His head on her chest.
'Thump'
Sakura blushed that was the first time she made this kind of physical contact with a man.
She tried unwrapping herself from his grasp but his grip only tightened.
"S-sasuke-sama?" Sakura asked.
He raised his head from her chest and looked at her. Even though it was dark in the room you could still make out the features on the her face.
He sat up. His hands still tightly wrapped around her small waist. He pulled her closer to his chest.
'Thump'
Sakura blushed as she felt her chest press against his bare one.
"S-Sasuke-sama?!" Sakura said as he gently took off her mask.
"N-No what ar-" she was interrupted as his lips pressed against hers.
'Thump'
To her surprise his lips were warm and soft.
When he kissed her she just melted in his arms.
'Thump'
That was her first kiss.
