Princess

AN: Hey Guys! I had an epiphany the other day… I realized that waiting for an author to update a story is agonizing and causes you to be anxious because the suspense is killing you… so the cure? Try and update sooner! He he… I'm going to try and update quicker and more chapters out at once… so please stay with me and give me CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism not FLAMERS! Thank you! ^^

Much Love, VampChick24

Disclaimers: I do not own Naruto the series, the manga, or any of the characters! All belong to the awesome (yet frustrating .) Masashi Kishimoto-san!

Chapter 3: Attack

Back at the Magma Kingdom

The pink haired Princess was sitting on the throne, a bored expression on her face as she watched the people dance, laugh, drink and eat. She sighed, she was so bored, she danced with a couple of suitors but that still did not help the boredom…

"My dear Princess why are you so dismal… everyone is celebrating you." A teasing voice came from behind her, she clenched her fists, and he was the last person she wanted to talk to.

"I guess I'm just not in a party mood Kabuto… what do you want?" Sakura muttered a bit rudely but she did not care, she did not like the four-eyed weird lord. He smirked and adjusted his glasses for the 165th time—yes she was counting. He chuckled and took a sip,

"I just came over to see why my cherry blossom was so glum… that's all. Though I also came to ask the prettiest girl in the room to dance." He said charmingly, she looked up at him; he smiled though there was some hidden agenda behind his eyes and smile that she did not trust at all. She narrowed her eyes and looked over at her mother who was dancing with her father, she gave her an encouraging smile and nodded. Sakura sighed and let Kabuto lead her to the dance floor, she did not look at him through out the whole dance, she looked at her friend Hinata who was talking with three guys, and she sighed and suffered through the dance. After the song ended, all the dancers and guests clapped then there was the sound of a champagne glass tinkling everyone turned to the sound. King Kakashi was standing and smiled,

"My friends, loyal subjects, guests. Today is a important day, today your princess, my daughter Sakura has turn 18 years old. I don't know about you but I feel old just thinking about it," he laughed and the room followed suit, Sakura blushed as Kabuto held her closer, which caused her to frown and skillfully slipped from his embrace to stand next to Hinata. Kabuto let her go, he looked out the window at some invisible figure and smirked then turned his attention back to the King.

"Ha ha, but in all serious. Sakura, now that you are 18 you are officially woman, Happy Birthday. A toast! Here to Sakura, may she break many hearts, live a fruitful life, and may she always keep that adventurous spirit! Here here!" He announced as he held his glass out which caused the room to mimic him and his toast. Her father pulled Sakura into a hug; she received a proud and secretive glance from her mother who kissed her on the cheek. Everything was perfect then the lights went out, a bang and a couple of screams were heard. Everyone was in confusion and chaos ensued as people frantically began running about the room, Kakashi shouted for his guards and took out a sword, but in less than a minute the lights returned back on and they were surrounded, the guests looked around like deer in headlights as the murmured as the masked enemy bordered the room, in the center was the leader, who had a mask that covered his entire face, it was that of a snake.

"I hope you don't mind your majesties but we decided to join in on the fun." The masked leader said in a dull voice though by his voice you could tell he was smirking. Kakashi narrowed his eyes and got in a fighting stance, he was about to say something when someone interrupted him,

"The Princess is gone!" those words cut through the King and Queen as they and everyone looked around only to find Sakura gone. Along with Hinata, and Lord Kabuto. Kakashi clenched his fists and cursed, as the leader looked around,

"Oh… you don't mind if we borrow the Princess for a bit do you? I mean we really wanted to meet her…" he said in a even voice which caused the King to become furious as he and Rin got into battle stances.

"How did this happen? Guards search everywhere! No one is to leave or come in the castle until they are found!" Kakashi shouted as the some of the guards nodded and left as others remained. Kakashi growled,

"Who the hell are you? Where is my daughter!" he shouted as Rin eyes looked at the soldiers she noticed an emblem on their armor, it looked like—Rin's eyes widened in horror,

"O-Orochimaru..." She whispered, the guests became silent with fear at the sound of the Evil King's name. The leader faced the two of them head on, Kakashi's eyes widened too.

"Wha- What? That is impossible." Kakashi gritted through his teeth, the leader smirked as a covered coach raced through the gates of the Castle blending in with the night.

AN: All right there is the third chapter I hope you liked it… I thought that I would end it with a cliffhanger. Hmm what will happen? Will our heroine escape her kidnappers? And who is the leader of the evil ninjas? Stay tuned ^^
