"I'm Kyo Hisuki," the figure answered.
'Who the hell is that?' Katara thought.
"I've been watching you for a very long time," Kyo stated stepping fully into the dark room.
He snapped his fingers and a servant entered lighting a candle and placing it on a desk that was in the far corner from Katara. Light quickly flooded the room, shapes became clear as Katara's vision cleared. The servant left closing the door behind him.
She watched as the dark haired male walked towards her, a noble's cloth clothed his frame. Muscles were easily seen under the cloth.
"I'm the prince of the Hisuki clan and the mountain nation (AN: just making this up as I go). You are Katara Uchiha of the Royal Uchiha branch. It is ancient legend that a female of the Uchiha Royal family was to marry a member of the Hisuki Royalty. You are the last living member of the Uchiha Royal family. Wouldn't it be nice to live up to this old legend of our families?" Kyo said a smile on his face as he continued to walk towards Katara slowly.
"How about hell no," Katara snipped trying to move away from the freaky male approaching her.
She found herself unable to move a muscle. Panic race through her veins as she continued to try to move.
"Too bad!" a creepy, evil grin crossed his features as he closed his eyes and tilted his head sideways. "You will be my wife in five days time. Servant's will be in tomorrow to fit you into a dress and then we will continue on with the wedding preparation steadily from there."
With that Kyo exited the room and Takayuki entered right after him.
"Katara-hime, it's good you're awake," Takayuki commented, "I brought you your food."
"Here, you need to eat something," Takayuki coaxed as he held out chopsticks with rice between the two clamped pieces of wood.
"I'm not hungry," Katara stated stubbornly turning her head away from the food offered to her.
"I know, it's because of all the information you obtained because of the boss. Don't worry Katara-hime, the boss will make you a wonderful bride. You'll be happy here." Takayuki smiled, "I'll leave the food here for when you do get hungry."
'You're wrong, I could never be happy here.'
~TB~
"Do you think he'll wake up soon?" Shikamaru asked looking over Temari's shoulder as she applied first aid assistance to Sasuke.
"I don't know. Hopefully he does so we know what's going on," Temari answered.
"Gaara has been acting weird since yesterday," Kankuro commented.
"I noticed that too," Temari stated.
"Hmm, that's strange," Shikamaru commented.
"Yeah," Kankuro and Temari replied.
~TK~
"I see you finally eat the food that was prepared for you," Kyo commented as he entered Katara's chamber.
Katara just shot a glare in return.
"It is time, my dear, to be fitted to your dress kimono," Kyo continued completely ignoring the glare he received.
With a snap of his finger five female servants entered with delicate cloth clutched in their arms.
"You know what to do, I'll be waiting outside to see how even more beautiful you can make her."
The servants quickly busied themselves in their work. Sadness etched in Katara's features as she complied for the servants to dress her. She worried about the information Takayuki had given her the night prior.
"That cousin of yours fallowed you here," Takayuki commented as he prepared the bed roll to be more comfortable.
"What?" Katara's head snapped up at hearing this.
"Yes, he fallowed you all the way here, but I had to take care of him." Takayuki looked directly into Katara's navy orbs, "But I did not kill him because he is precious to Katara-hime."
Katara released a breathe she never knew she held as she heard this,
"But he was severally injured during our fight. I'm not sure if he ever managed to reach the moon village."
"Sasuke is stronger than you think he is. He made it there for sure," Katara defended though her mind had its doubt.
~TP~
'What if Sasuke didn't make it to the moon village? What is he is lying dead in the forest somewhere? No, I most not think this way. I know Sasuke. He's strong, he made it to the moon village for sure,' Katara scolded herself.
"It's finished, master Kyo," came the chorus of servants.
Kyo entered. "I never thought it was possible to make you even more beautiful than you already are."
"Hn." Katara crossed her arms over her chest and turned her nose to the arm facing away from Kyo.
"Soon you will see that you will be with me forever and have to accept it."
"I will never marry you. I will be rescued before any vow will be read," Katara snipped.
"We'll just have to see about that."
~TS~
"I think he's starting to come to," Naruto yelled to the others.
Sasuke began to stir slightly before his eyes finally slipped open.
"Shut up dobe," he ordered.
"Sasuke, what happened to you?"Kiba asked.
"I followed him; he stole her and I tried to fight him, but I failed," Sasuke said cradling his head in his hands.
"What?"
~TK~
"This one," Kyo said pointing at one of the cakes.
"No."
"That's the fifteenth one you've said no to!"
"I don't like them." Katara crossed her arms over her chest and turned away from the male.
"Fine I'm just going to pick one."
~TS~
"Katara? Has been kidnapped?" yelled Naruto.
"Naruto, shut up!" Kiba yelled at the hyperactive blonde.
"Which way did he go?" Gaara suddenly asked causing everyone to stare at him like he was insane.
"Gaara, are you ok?" Kankuro asked.
Gaara completely ignored his brother and had his eyes narrow at Sasuke.
"Up into the mountains….."
~TS~
"Tonight, my dear we will be married," Kyo stated before he exited Katara's room.
Servants enter to help Katara get ready.
