Sakura knocked softly on the door before she opened it. She smiled slightly at the sight of the sleeping King and shut the door again. She saw Itachi standing near by and she quickly made her way over to him.
"He's sleeping... I don't want to disturb him. I'm sure after today he's tired..." She stammered as she walked past the older Uchiha. Walking quickly away Sakura never felt so nervous until she ran into one of the Kings.
"Ah... Your Highness." He smiled down at her. Sakura nodded and tried to step away. Only to find the King would step forward towards her. "No need to be afraid." He said smiling again. It made Sakura nervous as she tried to find an escape from the man. He was taller than her and seemed ready to pounce any second.
"Uhm. If you'll excuse me I need to go check on Sasuke-sama..." She squeaked trying to squeeze past him.
"Oh but your Highness surely one of his nurses could check on him." The King said now with a sinister smile spreading across his face.
Sakura shook her head and stepped back against a wall. She quietly cursed at herself for letting herself get trapped against a wall. She silently stood there wishing to just melt into the wall as the King stood in front of her placing his hands on either side of her on the wall. She gulped and looked at him for a second before squeaking as she felt a hand rub against her thigh.
"Keep you're hands to yourself Soushi." The older Uchiha's voice called a few feet away. "She's not interested. Also I'd suggest you leave her be." He snorted at the King went rigged.
"What are you going to do if I don't?" The King sneered glaring at the man.
Sakura frowned and suddenly understood how the man seemed to think he called the shots. Bringing her hands up she shoved him away. "It's not what he's gonna do it's what I will." She snapped glaring now at the stunned man. "Come near me like that again and I'll have you stripped of the title of being king." She said holding her head high.
The man stood there in surprise that it had even crossed the small pink haired woman's mind to strip his title. "B-b-but!"
"No. You are a disgusting human being that needs to grow up." Sakura snapped before turning away and leaving the hall.
Itachi only smirked and looked at the stunned King. "I would have just told Sasuke and you probably would have been slaughtered..." He shrugged.
Sakura stayed livid for a little while longer but her anger was no longer directed towards the injured King instead it was on the King of Clubs who seemed think he could take advantage of her.
Oh how her anger flared as she thought about his advances as she was clearly uncomfortable. Searching for Itachi she demanded he take her to a training room or somewhere where she could vent her anger.
Being led to a large training room filled with different weapons and assorted sacks and such for close combat.
Quickly deciding to leave the weapons be she found a sack around the same stature of the King of Clubs and dragged it towards the center of the room.
"Sakura-san..."
"Yes?"
"Is everything alright?" Itachi asked as he watched the small Pinklette set up the sack filled with rice.
Standing there he watched her in surprise as she sent a series of punches into the bag. A Word muttered after each one.
"Stupid." Punch "Peverted." Punch "Jerk." Punch punch "Who" Punch "Does" punch "He thing he is?" She snapped at every punch. It felt good to let the stress out and finally giving the bag one last blow which sent it tumbling to the floor Sakura sighed and hunched over to breath.
"You girlfriend packs quite a punch." Itachi said amused later as he visited his brother after escorting Sakura back to her room. "Soushi tried to take advantage of her but she threatened to strip his title..." He mused as his brother sat up.
Sasuke glared at the door before turning his gaze to Itachi. "She's not my girlfriend."
"You want her to be."
"Hn."
"You didn't deny it."
"Hn. Did she punch him?" He asked slightly curious about his brothers first statement.
"No... Actually she demanded I lead her to a training room or somewhere she could 'vent'. So naturally I led her to the training room where we store everything." Itachi shrugged.
"She proceeded to drag a heavy bag out to the floor and I'm now sure she possessed some super human strength."
Sasuke snorted at rolled his eyes at his brother but didn't say anything as he watched amused as the older man changed subjects to how he had managed the palace since Sasuke was out.
Hearing the creak of his door opening some hours later after most of the palace had gone to bed he opened his eyes to find a tearful Sakura standing at his door. "I... I'm sorry Sasuke-kun..." She whispered quietly as she realized he was awake. "I... ano... didn't mean to wake you... I just had a bad dream..." She murmured quietly as if she was talking to herself.
"Sakura." Sasuke sighed reaching his hand out towards her. "Come in and close the door." He said yawning into his other hand. Hearing his door latch close and feeling the pinklette's hand clasp his he pulled her towards him.
"Sasuke-kun..." She whispered again scared. He snorted slightly and sat up.
"Hn."
"You're alright right? Nothing hurts does it?" She asked worried as he pulled her to him. He sighed and shook his head no. He was feeling fine and was only waiting for her to give him the okay to go back to the throne.
"Sakura I'm fine. All that's left is just a few stitches and a scar." He smiled against her hair. "I'll be fine." He said as she pulled away and looked at him through glassy eyes. The moon light from his window hit Sakura in just the right ways that caused him to suddenly want to kiss her.
Squeaking as Sasuke moved closer to her she pulled back a little until she was pulled back against him and his lips claimed hers. At first she sat rigged and scared until she felt him starting to pull away did she respond by pulling him close and moving her own lips against his.
She could feel the smile forming on his lips as he pulled away from her. "Sakura." He murmured pressing his forehead against hers.
