Chapter 17: My Weakness

"Are you freaking kidding me!" I screamed.

"Princess, what's wrong?" One of the guys asked urgently.

I knew I couldn't just say 'oh, it's just that this is the second time I died so I'm just a little creeped out, you know?' No, I will NOT say that! They would think that I'm crazy. For now, I'm going to play along and try to get some information around here. Yeah, that's right; I'm going all detective on you guys.

"Oh nothing. It's just that I don't see why Konoha Ninja need to come here. I really hate ninja," I explained casually.

Of course milady, but the Konoha Ninja would like your support for the oncoming war. One of the ninja coming is Lady Hokage herself, Tsunade," Guy #1 replied. 'Tsunade, huh? Oh, I got that fool! This is revenge for the crap she put me through when I was in the stupid leaf village!' I thought to myself.

"I see. Let us head over to…wherever they are and greet them. Though, I would like to speak with them alone," I said.

"Yes milady!" Both guys said in unison.

So they led me back to my castle. Isn't that awesome? I get my own flipping castle! The castle was so huge and so beautiful. It was amazing! The outside of the castle was a deep, dark red. Yeah, be jealous. Anyways, as we got closer there were six figures in front of the castle gates; I recognized them instantly. It was Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, Shikamaru (I read about him in my little cell), Tsunade, and…Mika! My eyes widened with surprise and then narrowed with betrayal. She knew I hated the leaf! 'What in the world is Mika doing with those idiots?' I thought to myself. As soon as they saw me, they knelt to the ground and bowed. I smirked and walked a little faster so that I was right in front of them.

"Hey," I said, "get off of the ground, you guys look like idiots."

They immediately stood up and I knew that they recognized me by their facial expression. Mika looked stunned and angry at the same time, Sakura was totally shocked, nothing more and nothing less. Naruto looked excited to see me; Shikamaru had an eyebrow raised; wondering how I survived. Kakashi was shaking from laughter. 'I knew he missed me,' I thought. My favorite expression was Tsunade's. She looked furious that I survived. I know she was being pretty rude but I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips.

"What are you doing here!" Tsunade screamed.

"I live here, of course," I explained calmly.

"You should not even be here! You died! Besides, we are waiting for someone of great importance," Tsunade yelled once again.

I grinned, "Oh, am I not important?" I question.

"No," Sakura and Tsunade say in union.

"Lady Tsunade, I think-" Shikamaru started.

"No, I understand. You just don't want to talk to me, princess of this land. I guess I'll go get the gaurds to escort you out," I state nonchalantly.

"You're bluffing," stated Tsunade.

"Try me," I reply menacingly.

There was a long pause. It seemed as if Tsunade was studying me to see if I was lying or not. Suddenly, her eyes widen. Oh yeah, she knows.

"Then, that means…" Sakura trailed off.

"Yup! I believe we have business to discuss. Come on inside and we'll talk about it over cupcakes," I said.

We started to walk inside my castle. I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks. Everyone else stopped in response.

"Oh yeah, Tsunade? Good luck trying to convince me. You made me feel like crap and I do not appreciate that. Of course, it shouldn't be too difficult. Awhile back someone told me my weakness. A weakness to why I agreed to his promise and now, a weakness to why it will be easy to convince me to take your side. You want to know what my weakness is?" I inquire.

"What?" Tsunade demanded.

"Because I pity you."
