Growing quickly back to her normal height Sakura waited for the King to explain what he was talking about. She wasn't thrilled that this man had the thought in mind to call her the queen. Sakura was lucky to enough to just have a job that covered her rent and bills.
Frowning she crossed her arms and looked at him. "Well?" She asked slightly annoyed he hadn't spoken since she returned to her normal five foot two stance and glare up. "Are you going to tell me why you think I'm this suppose Queen or what?" She asked suddenly in a fowl mood.
"When my grandmother was a young child the Queen of Wonderland had appeared out of no where in Wonderland as a child herself." Sasuke started. "She had passed the story down to my father who then passed it down to my older brother and I. The Queen of Wonderland was no more than a child at the time probably around the age of eight or so."
"She had stayed in Wonderland long enough to get them back on their feet and she appointed a king and queen from each major family. My family being the one left in charge of all of Wonderland. She trusted the Hearts to make wise decisions and at the time my great grandfather was a fair man and knew how to treat the people of Wonderland."
"As he got older he made my Grandmother Queen and she as well made wise choices. She would always tell stories on how the Queen of Wonderland was such a lovely young woman with Pink hair and Green eyes. Similar to your own. Then she would tell stories on how the red and white roses only bloom with the Queen has returned." He explained again.
Sakura frowned "You have already told me this part. The red and white roses will only bloom when the Queen of Wonderland named Sakura who had pink hair and green eyes returns. I get that. What I'm trying to tell you is I'm not her!" Sakura snapped.
"No. You are her. You just don't remember because back then you thought it was all a dream or some kinda of fantasy that you made up when you were a child." Sasuke replied. "Wonderland's time is different than the Human worlds time. This it why if we have to leave Wonderland we're always trying to make it back before night fall on the same day."
Sakura frowned and shook her head. "You're still wrong. I am not this Queen of Wonderland." She snapped again. "What ever you do it won't change the fact I'm not this Queen..."
Sasuke only sighed before nodding. "You wish to go back home correct?" He wasn't about to let this girl go. "Wonderland is on the verge of war and you are my last ditch effort to stop it." He murmured. Sakura looked at him a frowned. "I... Wonderland needs to be saved."
Staring at the man Sakura wondered what might have been going through his head at the time before sighing. "What's in it for me if I pretend to be this queen of yours?"
"You'll return home and we'll leave you alone."
"Oh... Well... I guess for a short while I could be this Queen... Long enough to stop a war I think." Sakura mumbled unsure as she glanced down the hallway. "And if someone were to figure out I wasn't the Queen?"
"We'd probably be beheaded." Sasuke stated not blinking as if it was something that came into conversation often. "It'd be a capitol offense if they found out we're bluffing and all capitol offenses are dealt with by beheading..." He explained.
"Swell... So either I do this or I die. Great."
Sasuke only nodded before shrugging slightly. "I think you'd be able to pull it off so if we could calm the nations and stop the war you'd be home free." He explained. "However it is getting late. I can show you where you'll be staying for the evening." He said leading her away. "We can continue our conversation on the matter in the morning."
"Wait... How long will I be gone!"
"In the human world roughly nine to ten hours... Your world's time doesn't change like ours does... You may leave for a few hours and come back to the human world and it only been few hours later. You leave here you must time it right cause if not you'll end up in a different year."
"Different year?"
"Spending time one earth is costly to us. If we spend to long we might end up thirty years into our future instead of a day or so." Sasuke explained sighing. "Remember how I explained that the Queen of Wonderland lived with us until she was about twenty?" Sasuke asked not bothering to wait for her reply. "When she returned to her world she was a child again." He sighed.
"Oh..." Sakura mumbled quietly. "That does change things..."
"It's all a matter of timing... We have at least six days before a whole day passes on Earth..."
"What?"
"In Wonderland our time runs faster that Earth's. So we have six full days before a whole twenty four hours happens on Earth." Sasuke explained as he lead Sakura down a hall. "You're quarters." He murmured coming to a stop in front of a elegantly carved door with intricate patterns covering the large door.
"Oh... Thank you...?"
"Hn." Sasuke grunted before opening the door for the pinklette. "The maids will wake you up around mid morning." He said before leaving the room. Sakura turned to tell him it wasn't necessary and opened the door to find herself alone with no trace of Sasuke.
"Huh?" she murmured quietly looking down the hall. She was positive it took at least three to four minutes just to walk from one end of the hall to where her room was. Staring down the hallway she muttered to herself before heading back into her room.
