{CHAPTER FOUR}
Sakura would admit that once she had dreamt about living in a castle with a contended life, becoming queen and having many maids.
But all those dreams died a long time ago, along with her parents.
But then after seeing this HUGE castle in front of her, she would be lying if she said felt nothing.
"Come on, we do not have all day" one of the men said.
He opened the carriage gate and pulled her out.
She stumbled a bit and removed her bag from the carriage as she walked behind the men to the main gate of the castle /palace.
Two guards stopped them on their way and the leader of the men stood explaining something to the guards.
One of the guards nodded and stepped away from the castle's huge door while the other pushed it open.
"Come along cherry" the man said "And do behave if you wish to king isn't exactly who one would call *Friendly*"
Sakura gulped. Wow, she wasn't expecting that. They stepped into the eerie of castle echoes.
The ground and walls of the palace were made with marbles each tiled.
There was a set of double staircase, one on the right and the other on the right.
There were at least twelve large stone pillars evenly spaced.
As they walked deeper into the palace, Sakura began to eye everywhere they passed.
Something about this place was giving her the creeps.
She took note of the metallic statutes of armored knights with weapons on the right side of their hands.
Or so she thought they were statutes until one blinked his eyes.
"Eek!" Sakura screamed
"I said to behave'' the man once again whispered
Sakura nodded and increased her steps. This place was creepy, she'd give it that.
They finally reached another door which opened by itself automatically revealing a dark room.
Immediately they walked in, the room was lit up by one fire touch which was hanged on the wall.
"My lord, a gift" The man said getting on his knees.
The others followed too except Sakura who stood there clearly confused.
Where was this lord they were bowing to?
She couldn't see anyone up ahead except pitch black darkness.
She was about to ask when her eyes suddenly clashed with red glowing ones.
She felt her knees grow numb and she dropped down.
She realized she had being compelled by something to go down.
"What the hell?" She hissed.
She followed her seller's gaze and saw someone sitting on a throne like chair.
The more she blinked to see clearly, the more she could make out his features.
He had an unruly thatch of black hair which was a little bit spiky at the back.
His attire was of rich Sapphire, super fine and cut in a simple style. She also noticed his black cape resting perfectly on his broad expansive shoulders.
Seriously, who still uses capes? She thought inwardly but remembered she was in a foreign place.
what drew Sakura most were those eyes of his. They were crimson red and the more she tried to look away, she just couldn't find the strength.
It was like they were mesmerizing her.
She knew he was fully aware of what he was doing to her and it raged her to no extent.
His legs were crossed and he held this aura of proudness surrounding him.
His expression was that of boredom and it showed he was clearly not interested in what this people were wanting to offer him.
Ha! Jokes on him, because she didn't want to be offered to in the first place, Sakura thought.
"And where is she from?" his voice finally asked.
Men, his voice was hot.
Sakura inwardly smacked herself for even thinking about that.
"We do not have an idea, but she does not seem from around here, considering her attire and her accent"
Sakura frowned. *Well excuse you, but her accent was perfectly fine, thank you very much.*
The king kept his gaze locked on her and she swallowed on empty air.
"A- actually, i- I'm from Konoha. Its probably not too far from here. So ...um I was wondering if I could get some directions or something" Sakura said breathlessly and waites for him to speak.
That seemed to be the only option she had.
"There is no such thing as a Konoha" he finally said
Men, this was hopeless.
Sakura wanted to cry out right there, but a sudden realization crossed her mind.
Ino! She thought happily with a sigh of hope gleaming in her eyes as she scanned through her bag.
Finally seeing the phone, she brought it out and held it in her hands.
She flicked the phone open and it made a little noise, when suddenly she was covered by guards pointing their weapons at her.
Out of shock,Sakura raised her hands letting the phone slip and fall giving the phone a crack.
Well, there goes her only hope.
She sighed "Look, I don't want to be here. I don't even know why I'm here" She eyed the guards " I have a very special exams to write tomorrow so please I beg you tell this people to free me and lead me home please"
The guards soon had shocked expressions on..
Had she just commanded him on what to do?
The room became silent and that sent a cold chill down their spines.
They knew how he could get whenever he was silent like that.
The last time someone had done that, he was struck down by a lighting force the king had summoned himself.
On the other hand, the king seemed perfectly fine with what she just said and he found her intriguing.
She was way too stubborn and determined to be a slave.
Instead of opposing or acting rash like he normally would. He suddenly like the idea he had.
"You may leave" he said
Sakura looked around and knew he wasn't addressing to her.
And even if she wanted to leave, she still felt glued to the ground.
The sound of door closing startled Sakura a little and soon she realized it remained only her and the king.
They both remained like for sometime staring into each others eyes.
"I see you are still the same as always" He said as she looked at him in utter confusion.
"I'm sorry, come again say what?" She asked not knowing what he meant.
He stood up "Follow me"
He didn't need to repeat himself twice,because at once she was on her feet following him like a lost puppy.
Mind you, She wasn't doing it on her own free will. She was still being compelled by him.
"You are still under my binding" he said
Great, he's a mind reader too?
They took the stairs which led to a narrow stairway.
Taking a left,they ended up in front of a room and the door opened.
"Go in"
Sakura unwillingly obeyed and her feet walked her into the room.
The room was a room fit for a princess but it somewhat old.
"You are to stay here until I think of what to do to you"
Sakura watched as the door closed slowly until she was finally alone in the huge room.
"The asshole" She said
She walked over to the bed and sat on down on it.
She wanted to escape so badly, but the sad truth about her not knowing where she was ,knocked sense into her.
The only thing she needed now was to be able to think of a way out of this foreign place.
Hopefully it won't take a year or everyone would think she was dead.
"Hime, you are finally back are you not?"
Sakura bolted up as a young child's voice reached her ears.
Her eyes went to the direction of the sound and she saw a young boy standing by the door.
"How did you...?"
"It matters not how i got in" the boy said "The king brought you here didn't he?" His eyes gleamed with joy.
"Look, I - I need to escape this place" She said in a sweet tone "Do you have any idea where Konoha is?"
"I'm sorry, but i can not help you in that case"
The boy began to fade slowly until he was finally gone.
Sakura gripped the side of the bed place just keeps getting weird.
And what was the big deal with everyone calling her an 'Hime' and then disappearing on her like it meant nothing.
She sighed praying this king would release her soon.
...
"My lord?" An old lady said kneeling down
"Chiyo -baa, how is it that she is back?"
"I know for whatever reason she's back" Chiyo said and raised her up smiling "Besides it has been a decade now Sasuke "
Sasuke threw the crimson ring which had a ruby diamond on it and caught it back with one swipe.
His eyes glowed a deeper red until it finally became its normal onyx.
Yes, it had been a decade and somehow she was back.
Probably back to fill back the hole she had left in his heart the day she day she was snatched away from him.
