Sadly I don't own Naruto or the characters, just the storyline, I think…

This is my first fanfic, so no hate plz

I would gladly except reviews with suggestions on what the next chapter could possibly be about, so I have an idea, but idk yet

Btw this is all in Naru's POV, unless I say so

Sorry if it's out of character T-T

Forgot to mention that Naru doesn't have the Nine-Tails in her

Chapter 5

Hinata came back with my uniform, which was the same uniform as hers, a black and white dress, with the skirt going mid-thigh, long white socks that went to the knees, a black and white headband, and black flats. She gave me the uniform and said, "H-here y-you go." I took the clothes and stared at them before looking up at her and asked, "Uh, where do I go change?"

Hinata blushed a little and stammered, "Oh r-right. F-fol-l-low m-me." She turned around and walked to a door behind the throne, opening it, and walking inside. I stood there for a second, then followed her through the door. Behind the door was a hallway that had 5 rooms and a stairwell at the end. Hinata lead (or is it led?) me to the 3rd room, stopped in front of the door, and said, "T-this i-is the h-hallway w-where u-us m-m-maids stay."

I stopped beside her and ask, "Why do you stutter so much?" "Oh s-sorry, I-I'm j-just a bit n-nervous," Hinata replies, giving me an apologetic smile. "There's nothing really to apologize or to be nervous about!" I kindly smiled back at her and continued, "We're friends, right? Nothing nervous to be stuttering about there!" Don't get too close to this girl, Naru. I warn myself. "I g-guess t-that's true," Hinata said, while opening the door.

The room was dark, and I walked past Hinata and walked cautiously into the room. "Y-you can c-change in h-here," I hear Hinata say from behind me. I hear a click and the room is lit. The room was pretty large, and had four twin sized beds scattered throughout the room, one by the window, 2 close together, but separated by the nightstand between them, and the last one close by the one by the window, but about 10 feet away from it.

"Y-You'll be sleeping in t-this room along w-with me and t-two other maids y-you will be able t-to meet s-soon," Hinata says, surprisingly not stuttering as much, and continued, "You b-bed is the one c-closest one by t-the window. When y-you're don't, I'll be b-back in the t-throne room."

Hinata closed the door and left me alone. I walked to my bed and sat on it, and looked out the window. It showed a view of a beautiful, large sized, garden. It was filled with variations of different colored flowers, and a large pond near the middle, and a bridge going over part of it. My attention turns back to my uniform in my hands. Whoever made this uniform must've been a huge pervert to make something as inappropriate as this.

I stand up and set the uniform on the bed and started getting undressed. I put on the dress and sit on the bed, putting on the long ass socks. I put the head back on and slip on the flats, which mysteriously fit, even though I didn't tell her my shoe size. I got up from the bed and walked to the door, opened it, shut off the lights and walked out, shutting the door behind me.

I look down the hallway to my right, then left, and see that I'm the only person there. I head off to the left and approach the same door that I had entered not too long before. I opened it and walked out from behind the throne. I saw Hinata by a window, cleaning it, and fastened my pace over to her. Hinata turned around when she heard me approaching and asked, "Y-you're done a-already?" I smiled and simply said, "Yup!"

Hinata put the cleaning supplies down and explained, "I-I'm supposed to g-give you a t-tour since I'm t-the only maid open r-right now, so I hope y-you don't mind." "I don't mind, and good job on not stuttering so much! You're getting better already!" I say, giving her a bigger smile. Hinata blushed and looked down.

We stood there for a while, me smiling and Hinata blushing, before I reminded, "So about that tour." Hinata brought her head up and replied, "R-right, follow m-me." Hinata walked past me and opened the throne room doors, which lead outside, and I followed right behind her. She then began slowing down and naming off the rooms and more information about it.

We approached a familiar door and found myself blushing a little at the sight of it. "A-are you ok?" Hinata asked, a little worried and stopped. I felt stupid for blushing over the door, but come on! There was a half-naked hottie behind that door! "Um… Yeah, of course," I barely manage to say, stopping beside her. We about 10 feet away from the door and I was just staring at it and Hinata staring at me in confusion.

"So, uh what is this room?" I ask, taking my eyes off the door and looking at Hinata. Hinata looked at the door, still confused, and said, "T-this is the second p-princes room, Prince S-Sasuke Uchiha." My mind flashed back to yesterday night to when I saw his name while reading the scroll.

Sasuke Uchiha- Unknown Wolf Type, I recall. I still don't know why his wolf type is unknown… I froze and my face turned into a darker pink. But that means, if this is Prince Sasuke's room, then that person behind the door is… PRINCE SASUKE?! Holy shit, he's one good looking prince!

The door opens and out comes Prince Sasuke, he looks exactly the same as before, except wearing a shirt. He closes the door and turns around, facing Hinata and I, and looks at Hinata, then me. I was still blushing and blushed a little more when his gaze fell on me. Prince Sasuke smirked at me and started walked over to us. Hinata curtsied politely at the Prince, while I remained frozen.

"You have t-to curtsy to the P-Prince," Hinata whispered to me. "Oh, sorry," I say, while politely curtsying to the Prince. "So what are you two doing in this part of the castle?" Prince Sasuke asked, looking at both of us, but for some reason, felt his gaze burning through me. That voice seems familiar… I looked away, not wanting to look at his annoyingly beautiful face. I looked over to the wall. What a nice wall.

Hinata said, "I'm s-showing around our n-new maid, Prince S-Sasuke." I looked at Hinata, still avoiding Prince Sasuke's gaze, but I notice him walking up to me and says, "Is that so?" He stopped in front of me and I looked up at him, as he asked, "And what might your name be?" I hesitate before saying, "Naruko, but everyone calls me Naru." "What a beautiful name." Is he trying to flatter me? "Um, thanks, Prince S-Sasuke," I said, stuttering a little. Why the hell did I stutter? Prince Sasuke took my hand, kissed it and said, "Please, call me Sasuke." I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Why should I call you Sasuke instead of Prince Sasuke? Don't the other maids call you Prince Sasuke?" He shrugged his shoulders, came to my level, and said, "Why not?" This guy seems so familiar to me for some reason… "Ok, Sasuke," I say, slowly saying his name for some reason.

Sasuke stood up and walked away smirking. I unconsciously stare at him while he leaves, and then hear Hinata say, "He d-does that to e-every new maid." I look at Hinata and asked, "What? Tell them to call him Sasuke?" Hinata looked back at me and shook her head. "No, I w-was actually pretty s-surprised when he said t-that. But he k-kisses their hand and flatters them to win t-their hearts," she said. I looked at the direction in which Sasuke had left.

So he's catching hearts and collecting them, that's cruel. Well, it's not gonna be easy getting mine. I smirked and told her, "Oh, trust me, he's not going to get to mine. Let's continue on with the tour." I turned around the opposite direction and started walking down the hallway. "R-right," Hinata said, while catching up to me. Hinata showed me around the rest of the castle, but nothing had seemed like a room where they make any plans. Looks like I'm going to have to snoop around a bit.

The tour took the rest of the day and all the maids were done cleaning and in their rooms, out of their outfits and in nightgowns, except I was in my brown, ragged dress, for some reason. I was sitting on my bed, looking out the window, when I remember that I still had the keys to my room at the inn. I look over to Hinata, who was in the closest bed to me, and whispered, "Hinata." She looked over at me and asked, "Y-yes?" I got up from my bed and told her, "I need to go return my keys to the inn I was staying at, because I haven't returned them yet." She nodded and I walked out the door and closed it silently behind me.

The halls were deathly quiet and were dimly lit by the candle lights every 10 feet. I walked down the left hallway and went through the doors to the throne room. The castle was quiet and dark and I felt like that at any time, a ghost could pop out and scare the hell out of me. I walked cautiously through the throne room, making sure I don't trip on air or anything, and made my way to the throne doors.

I was about to open the doors, when the doors opened and revealed Sasuke. When he saw me, he smirked and asked, "What are you still doing up?" I narrowed my eyes, remembering what Hinata had told me earlier that day, and said, bitterly, "I could ask you the same."

"I wonder the castle at night when I can't sleep."

"Is that so?"

"Yes it is."

Silence.

"So are you going to tell me why you're up?"

"Why don't you tell me why you care so much?"

"Who said I did?"

"I do, now tell me why."

"Hn."

"Did you just…"

"Did I what?"

"DID YOU JUST 'HN'ED ME?!"

Sasuke walked past me and walked to the other side of the throne room, and called back, without turning around, "I don't know, you tell me, dobe." Dobe, only one other person has ever called me dobe, and that's… THE MYSTERIOUS GUY WITH THE LONG HOODED CAPE… What a weird guy… wait… wAiT… Was he the one in the long hooded cape? "Wait, are yo-," I start to say, turning around, only to see that I was alone in the throne room. Damn, why does he keep disappearing like that?

I sighed and opened the throne room doors back up and walked out of the room. I walked down the hallway and started humming a song my mother always sang to me as a child. After a while, I found myself singing the song and slowly making my way down the hallway. "You taught me the courage, of stars, before you left. How light carries on, endlessly, even after death. The shortness of breath, you explained, the infinite," I sang, approaching the doors outside, opening them, and walked outside.

I stood outside, for a moment, and felt the cool breeze blow in my face and through my hair. I enjoyed singing, because my parents and everyone at the castle loved to hear me sing and said I was really good at it. I stare into the night sky, and stars start to appear, making the sky even more beautiful.

"How rare, and beautiful, it is, to even exist," I continue singing, while beginning to walk down the street, away from the castle, and towards the inn. "I couldn't help, but ask, for you to say it all again, I tried to write it down, but I could never find the pen. I'd give anything to hear, you say it one more time, that the universe was made, just to be seen by my eyes," I kept on singing and looked back up at the stars. The streets were dim, and the only light lighting it up, except for the moon and stars, was the light coming in from the houses and buildings from besides the streets.

I rounded a corner and headed down the next street. "I couldn't help, but ask, for you to say it all again, I tried to write it down, but I could never find the pen, I'd give anything to hear, you say it one more time, that the universe was made, just to be seen by my eyes," I sang, heading down another street. "The shortness of breath, you explained, the infinite. How rare and beautiful, it truly is, that we exist." [1]

I felt a pain in my head and pressed my hands on my head and squeezing my eyes shut. My whole body hurt, then the pain went away. I take my hands off my head and open my eyes, only to see, that I'm not on the street anymore. Instead, I was at the beautiful garden that my window had a view of. How did I get here?

I hear a loud crash from behind me, and my attention snapped in the direction of the noise. As I turned around, I see the Wolf Kingdom burning and crashing down, bursting into flames. I stay still, frozen in hear, the flames of the burning castle clashing against the dark night sky. I hear a soft sob from another side of me and turned around towards the sob. About 40 feet away was…. ME?! What… ME?! How that possible, where am I?

I slowly walked towards the other me and stopped when I was about 15 feet away from the other me. I saw a figure on the other side of the other me, but I couldn't see who or what it was. I looked at the ground to see it covered with wolf hair and blood. Then I hear the other me whispering, "Don't you die on me... DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME!"

I looked up at the other me and was about to walk over there when the pain came back. Instantly, my eyes flew shut and my hands were pressed against my head, the pain this time, was greater than the last. The pain lasted a few more seconds before it disappeared again. I took my hands off my head, but hesitated before opening my eyes again, and finding myself on the village streets again.

For some reason, I was really tired and close to tears. I blink away my tears and keep heading down the street, turning again, and quietly heading along. What the hell was that? And who was I telling not to die? Who was I? When was this? I stare at the ground in frustration, knowing that my answers may never be answered.

I spot the inn and quickly walked faster over there and opened the door. I walked through the door, closed it, and quickly went through the bar, not wanting to smell of alcohol, because I, for one, am not very fond of the smell of alcohol. I walk down the first floor hallway and take out the keys, from inside the patched pocket on my brown, ragged dress, and unlocked the door.

I opened the door and walked inside the room. I grab my bag, in which had my belongings in, and I see the scroll on the bed. I pick up the scroll and put it in my bag, and put the bag over my shoulder and onto my shoulder and waist. I walk out of the room and close the door.

I look both ways in the hallway, looking for, perhaps, the old lady, but saw no one, not even a guest. I guess it is pretty late. I, then, walked down the hallway and back to the bar area. It reeked badly in there, so I tended to stay away, but I have to return the keys, so I guess I have no choice.

I walk to the bar table and the bartender looked at me, while washing a cup, and asked, "What can I get for ya, kiddo?" "Um, I'm just here to return my keys," I say, giving him a smile and holding the keys out to him. "Oh, okay, thanks, thanks for staying!" he gave me a smile that revealed his yellow, brownish teeth and took the keys from my hands. "Thanks!" I say, brightly smiling back at him. I move away from the bar table and headed out the door, and headed back to the castle.

I open the door to the room that I was staying in and quietly stepped in and set my bag besides my bed. Hinata and the two other maids, that I still don't know, were sleeping quietly, so I did my best to be as quiet as I could, trying not to wake them up. I quickly got undressed and put on my blue nightgown took the ponytails out of my hair.

I slip into bed and tucked myself in. I thought about the weird vision I had seen not too long ago. I flipped to my side and looked out the window, looking at the night sky. I closed my eyes and started humming my mother's song and, within minutes, fell into a deep sleep.
