Chapter II- Headache

…

Knock. Knock.

No one answered so Sasuke decided to enter Ino's room. He was a bit surprised to see a messed up room though Kaede already warned him about this kind of stuff. He immediately searched for Ino only to find her sitting on her bed with a sarcastic smile.

Sasuke relaxed. "Good morning, my Lady."

"Good morning Uchiha-san. It seems like I ransacked my room last night so would you mind cleaning it for me?"

"As you wished, my Lady." Sasuke starts picking up the clothes, scattered papers, scattered everything.

Sigh. 'How did I end up being a maid?'

Ino smiled. "Oh. Uchiha-san, I'll be in the bathroom. Be sure to finish it all before I finished my bath."

Sasuke just stared at her but nodded. Ino went to the bathroom smiling evilly. 'He'll have a hard time.'

Sasuke rolled his eyes and sigh. 'I'll never gonna to finish this on this alone.' He formed a hand seal and another two Sasuke appeared. "Ok. Let's start cleaning."

The three Sasuke cleaned the room as quickly as possible and finished it on time. Ino came out of her bathroom expecting to see an exhausted Uchiha but to her dismay, it isn't the way she wanted it.

She groans. "Well, you're fast."

Sasuke smiled seeing her disappointment. "Thank you, my Lady. Can we go down so you can have your breakfast?"

"Whatever!" she stomped het feet and stormed out of the room.

"How can she be so childish?' He said out loud and chuckled.

As the days passed, Ino continued to be a struggle to Sasuke's everyday duty on her. She let him do all the chores she thinks was fun like making her favourite dish which he didn't know and ended up nothing, asking him to accompany her to go shopping for girl's stuffs, and even asking him to catch fifty butterflies in the garden. No dead butterfly is accepted or counted.

"Well. Good night Sasuke-san. I enjoyed the butterflies." She smiled evilly.

Sigh. "Good for you, my Lady. I'm happy." He bowed and left her room.

Downstairs Sasuke noticed Kaede and so he waved at her.

"Good evening, Sasuke-kun." She greeted smiling.

"Good evening, Kaede obaa-san."

They went to the dining room in silence. Kaede knew that Sasuke is really having a hard time dealing with the princess.

"Tell me, Sasuke-kun. You're having a hard time, aren't you?"

"Yes. She is such a child. I could have imagined the headache she gave to her past guardians."

She chuckled. "Giving up?"

"No. I can keep up with her. She's just a little pain. For now, I think." He smiled.

"The princess will be glad hearing that."

"I guess so."

"You seemed to be having fun."

He stared at her and rolled his eyes but and another smile crept in his lips. "Yeah, she is fun. She told me she had fun with the butterflies. After I gathered all fifty butterflies in an hour, she just let it go in a second."

Both of them laughed.

'Her smile paid it all off. I don't know why but it really caught my attention everytime.'

"Well, I guess you need time to rest now."

"Yes. Thank you, Kaede obaa-san."

"No worries. Good night then." Kaede then handed him a medicine, "For headache." She smiled and then left the room.

"For headache, huh?"
