Sakura watched as Sasuke seemed to easily move about her room with familiarity. She didn't exactly know how to approach the subject but the words that the King of Clubs said had stuck with her.

"Uhm... Sasuke-kun..." Sakura started unsure of how he'd react. When the tall man turned towards her she continued, "The... The King of Clubs said something about you... I was kind of curious and kind of confused on what he said."

Sasuke looked at her now with a curious expression it was face Sakura wished to see more often. "Well what is it?"

Sakura let a shaky breath out before giving him a small smile and prayed he wouldn't get to angry with her. "He said... He said that you're father isn't your real father... That you were just a commoner..." She said as she gazed out the window.

She now wondered if the now banished King of Clubs had left after the whole ordeal earlier into the day. Sakura turned back to Sasuke who looked visibly angry and a hint of hurt was also in his face. "He is only half right. I am not a commoner, however I am a Uchiha except I am not a true child of the former king but of his brothers." Sasuke admitted.

It took a few moments for it to settle with Sakura and she was surprised by what he said. "Your mother and her husband's brother?" She said quietly.

"Against her will..."

"Oh... That is just sick." Sakura said disgusted. "What in that man's right mind think that the queen would do something like that much less

with her husband's brother?"

Sasuke didn't answer her and looked away feeling a little squeamish as he thought of his mother. "My father knew I wasn't legitimately his. I think that's why he always favored Itachi over me." Sasuke murmured changing the subject a little. "Anything I did I was told Itachi had done better and faster than I had." He said looking towards the window.

"Sasuke..."

"My father was a harsh man but I think in his own way he loved me... Or at least I'd like to think that. He passed away about a month after my sixteenth birthday. Mother ruled the Kingdom for a while with Itachi stepping in as King until I was eighteen and he decided he didn't want to rule the Kingdom." Sasuke sighed glancing at Sakura. Her eyes were glassy as she took a step closer to him.

"I wasn't thrusted right into being King. Mother helped me adjust and explained how things worked. I managed to get the Kingdom running smoothly shortly afterwards it was a mess after my father was King."

"He... He was a good King but didn't ever really follow through with the laws he created outside his own palace. There was death and theft everywhere outside the palace walls." He murmured. "My mother and Itachi had no clue how to handle it at first. Then when I was given the title of King, I did everything in my power to make it how the Heart Kingdom is today..."

Sakura let a strangled breath out before crashing into him. Wrapping her arms tightly around him she let tears flow freely as she tried to make sense of what Sasuke had told her. "You're an amazing leader." She whispered.

They stood in her room for the longest time until she managed to let go of him. "Sakura..." He murmured.


In the days that came after the exile of the King of Clubs there were a few riots and one or two unhappy subjects of the Club Kingdom until Sakura took to the balcony of the Heart Kingdom where many of the other Kingdoms had gathered.

"Please do not be angry with me Club Kingdom but your King was a corrupted man who only spoke of dirty fantasies and a kidnapper who attempted to kidnap the King of Hearts." She addressed them. "As the Queen of Wonderland I have stripped his title and exiled him from the Kingdoms. He had been very nasty towards me and the staff of the palace and I know your Kingdom is currently without a King but I plan to find you a new one." She spoke her voice shaking now and then.

To her surprise there was an uproar of applause from the Club Kingdom that soon the other Kingdom's joined. She smiled at the sound of their applause and raised her hand to quiet them. She looked back as Sasuke and the other King and Queen who smiled at her. Reaching for Sasuke she managed to pull him forward. "It is your turn to speak." She said into his ear before backing away.

"Citizens of the Heart Kingdom as well as the other three Kingdoms." Sasuke said loudly. He glanced over the crowds and let a smirk grace his face before he continued. "Three weeks ago there was a battle that took place which almost cost my life. Thanks to The Queen of Wonderland I stand before you today."

Sakura took another shaky breath as she watched Sasuke speak he continued on to address something about the decisions that were to be made about the Kingdoms soon.


"That was terrifying." Sakura said quietly as she reached her quarters with Sasuke. She sank down into the bed and held her head in her hands. "How... How do you do that?" She said through her hands.

She shook her head and sighed until she felt a hand on her back and the bed dip. "Years of practice... I nearly peed myself the first speech I had to give as King."

Sakura smiled at that and turned her head to him. She laughed and sat up. "Really?" and then giggled when he nodded yes. "Then I don't feel as bad."

"Now I want to know did you really raise the King of Clubs sword to his own neck?" Sasuke asked curiously.

His answer was a blush and her looking away. "I... Yes. However he raised it at me first."


Blahhhh... Icky chapter. I'm not thrilled with it and it's a bit filler-y but I've been so busy recently that I haven't had time to write... :/ So hopefully this will hold you guys over until I get another chance to update. :3
