I'm ready to beat my head into the desk... x.x
By the time the rabbit-man and Sakura made it to the palace the sun had started to set and people were starting to whisper about her. She frowned against the rabbit-man's back. "You could put me down you know. I'm not a child." She snapped again since being hoisted onto the rabbit-man's back. She was hungry and annoyed how the only thing she'd been able to look at for the past two hours was the rabbit-man's back or the ground if she craned her neck the right way.
Feeling the man stop walking and a muffled voice Sakura kicked her foot into the rabbit-man's chest. "Put me down." She yelled again before being dropped.
"Keep up or else I'll throw you over my shoulder again." The rabbit-man sighed rubbing the spot Sakura kicked. "Since we are almost there and the King would not be pleased that you only seen my backend."
Sakura rolled her eyes and followed the rabbit-man as they continued along towards the palace which Sakura finally managed to see. It was almost like a large ruby colored towers. She started at it in shock. This is where the King lived?
"I'll have you know the King doesn't often ask for a outsider so you must be a special case."
Staring up at the ruby red tower as they neared it Sakura swallowed hard. She didn't expect to have to crane her neck all the way back to realize the top of the towers disappeared into the clouds. "What kinda place is this..."
"A magical one." The rabbit-man remarked. Sakura was very close to socking the man rabbit thing if he said one more snarky thing. Despite the rabbit-man's comment Sakura stared in wonder she figured it was magical when she saw rabbit-man go from large white rabbit to a rather tall man with white hair and when they passed by some of the shops earlier and she saw talking animals and people who seemed to be floating instead of walking.
Sakura pouted slightly as the rabbit-man grabbed her by the arm and tugged her through the Palace gates. "The faster you walk the quicker I can get back to my post." The rabbit-man hissed. "You're slow, even for a human." He added snorting. "I wonder why the King wants such a slow human." He muttered to himself not realizing Sakura heard him.
"Listen Bunny-man. I didn't ask to come, you kidnapped me and brought me here. So you are the one responsible if you're late or whatever." Sakura snapped yanking her arm away. She glared slightly at the man. Before following him through the gates and towards the palace's doors.
Staring wide eyed as the doors opened to men in uniform with a large heart on the front on them. She followed the rabbit-man until she crashed into him when he stopped and another person was standing at the doorway to another room. "Figures. He always goes for the oddly colored hair." A man muttered looking at Sakura for a second before looking at the rabbit-man.
"She's the one he's asked for."
"Oh... Well that changes things." The man muttered again before glancing back into the room he was standing in front of. "Give me a second to let my foolish little brother know." The man sighed rolling his eyes as he disappeared from view.
Sakura suddenly felt nervous as she realized she was meeting a King even if it was in her dreams or what she thought was her dreams. She had come to the conclusion she must still be asleep because she had been working way to hard the week before and the fact she was upset with Ino made sense to her.
"This way." The man sighed as he appeared again. He stepped aside and let the rabbit-man and Sakura in.
"Kurou." A dark haired man called to the rabbit-man who tensed up.
"Sire. I've brought the woman you requested me to fetch."
"Did she come willingly?"
"Uhm."
"No I did not. You have some nerve to send a rabbit-man thingy to kidnap me and bring me here." Sakura snapped.
The King stood looking at the pinklette curiously for a second. "I am truely sorry... If I had known that Kurou kidnapped you earlier I would have been at the rabbit's hole instead of here." The King murmured. He glared at the rabbit-man before waving him off. "One more time Kurou and you'll be banished." The King called after the jumpy man.
"Now. Why the heck am I here?"
"Ah... I am truly sorry about Kurou. He's the only man I trust sending to Earth." The King sighed before glancing at Sakura again. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, the King of Hearts and I have requested you because of a certain lore in our world calls for a pink haired, green eyed woman to make peace." The King explained slightly.
"What?"
Glancing up at the King she didn't know how to react. "Pink haired and green eyed woman to make peace?" She repeated. "Surely you have the wrong girl. I don't know the first thing about this place!"
"But I'm not wrong... See. I know for a fact that you're hair is naturally pink. The woman we are looking for also has natural pink hair." The King said as if he was talking to a child.
"You. Have. The. Wrong. Girl." Sakura snapped. She wanted to go home and curl up again.
"I do not. Come, I'll prove to you that you are the woman we are looking for." The King snapped back at her. "Whether you think you aren't the girl or not we have spent the past decade looking for you. You are our only hope in restoring peace in Wonderland."
"What if I don't wanna help?"
"No choice. I'm King you'd be stuck here forever unless you accepted that you are the person we've been looking for." The king explained with a smirk. Sakura looked over the King one time and frowned. He didn't look like someone who'd be a King of Hearts. He looked quite the opsite of what she thought a King should look like. His hair resembling a duck's back end and dark almost empty eyes and a monotoned voice that seem devoid of all emotions.
"You don't look like a King. Heck you aren't even wearing a crown! How do I know you're the real deal?"
"The real deal? What are you five?" The King muttered rolling his eyes. "Why would I wear a crown in my own home? That sounds stupid. We don't live by those stupid fairy tale books you humans put out."
"You're a jerk!" Sakura pouted as the King rolled his eyes again but left the room.
"Come on... If I have to prove you're the woman we are looking for we better start walking now
TADAAAAAA... Thank you my dear best friend who has no clue about the whole Naruto universe but is willing to read this story anyways and spot my mistakes. You are one of the awesomest people I know. :)
Okay if you noticed at the top A/N said I wanna beat my head into the keyboard. Which was true at the time of writing this. I had half of it written an hour after posting the first chapter then got stuck. :3 It sucked. But now I'm happy with how it turned out... I couldn't have asked for a better chapter. ^.^
