Sasuke did something he thought he'd never do.

He sat and listened--actually LISTENED--to what the pink-haired kunoichi was saying. Surprisingly, he realized he she knew a lot more than he thought she'd ever know.

"My family...had treated me like a princess," she started. She had to start with the beginning, or the end would sound selfless in her mind. And she knew she was a lot more selfish than people treated her. "You know, every little girl is a princess in their own respect. That horse and gallop."

He understood. Sort of. "Like the reason your Inner calls herself a princess?"

"Exavtly," she replied. "And every year since I can...could...remember, my family would send me out in the morning all through Suna with my brother, and I'd come home to a princess birthday party. It was fun...to always expect the same thing and know nothing will ever change..."

"You didn't like it?" Sasuke concluded. It was only an assumption, but with the way she acted--distant, misplaced, sad, hurt--she didn't seem to.

She shook her head vigorously. "No, I loved it! Don't get me wrong...I actually was a princess." Sakura looked over at the boy, sitting there with a shocked and doubtful look on his face. "You don't believe me, do you? Well, I suppose it's kind of creepy to know you were engaged as a child to a princess."

Yeah, he'd admit that one. But a real princess? Princesses were for fairy tales. He wouldn't know any in the real world. There were none in the real world. The closest one he could think of was a clan head like--

She turned back away when she saw him thinking. "You remember Hinata Hyuuga, right? The head of the Hyuuga clan?... Was head," she ammended.

Through her peripheral vision she saw his head snap back to attention.

"Yeah, she and Naruto were married, and Hiashi-sama agreed to it. As a result, however, she'd no longer be a Hyuuga. Neji pointed out the fact that all girls that marry out of the family will no longer be Hyuuga, and after Naruto, Sai and I gave a little...or a lot...of force, he finally agreed that the clan was flawed and that it could change."

Sasuke smirked and closed his eyes, tilting his head back. "So, who's the new head? Neji I suppose? And who is he with?"

"Neji and TenTen. They got married last year...I'm actually supposed to be back in Konoha gving birth to the baby in six months," she answered, looking back up to the clear blue sky.

"So, did you guys ever find out what her clan name was?" he asked. That had always made him very curious. How do you really not know a friend's clan name?

Grimacing she nodded. "Sadly for her...yes. She's been trying to hide it for years and I feel sorry for her. But, I can certainly see why and I can totally respect her for not wanting to be known by it."

Now the Uchiha was interested. He looked at Sakura and froze. She looked so pretty framed against the trees and peaceful. Since she got there, she had been wearing some of Karin's clothes because she didn't bring her own.The shirt was blue royal blue with thin straps that fit to her tight and showed her curves. the shorts were similar to the ones she normally wore under her training outfir, but shorter.

As he thought about it, they were much shorter. He cleared his thought and then started to speak. "And the clan name is...?"

"Maito," she whispered. "Gai Maito is her father. I think everyone--especially Neji and she--thank all the kami-sama that she didn't end up like him. Wouldn't that be so scary? The poor girl was born into a really bad family."

"We're getting off topic," he reminded her.

"Right. Hinata was the second closest thing to a princess anywhere else in the countries. I was known as the Desert Princess because I'm from Suna and just like Gaara-niichan I can control sand. But, I am a real princess."

Her face grew cloudy. Today was a sober day, and remember even how she used to act made her sad. "But...I let the title get to my head. I acted selfish and asked people to do things i had no right to ask them to do. Ask them to play with me, ask them to train with me, ask them to show me jutsu..."

That's strange. Sasuke remembered doing that as a kid too. That was because that's what kids do! She was overreacting.

"On my sixth birthday, everything was perfect. I got everything I asked for, everyone came to my party, and my ego went too high. That's the year that I found I would be marrying you, actually.

"During the next half-year, my seventh birthday was already starting to be planned out. But, Sai and i got in a fight, and he ran off. And then Sasu-niichan told me while I was training with Kabuto-niichan's brother that Sai had disappeared. I had to go all-out 'Spoiled Princess' and demand that they do an immediate search-and-rescue for him, because I let him get abducted."

That was actually what he would do too. So, that was spoiled?

"Then, I asked Gaara's parents if they were coming to my party, and they had planned a family vacation that whole week and they couldn't come. I threw a temper tantrum because they had PROMISED that they'd come.

"So, everyone was there, but them. And I was...not happy."

"What kid isn't?" he asked.

That was not the right thing to say. She started to walk off, and he had to run after her. But even then, she wouldn't stop and finish what she was saying.

***

Jugo snuck out to spy on them and put his plan in motion, but he liked what Sasuke decided to do much better anyways.

***

"Hey! HEY! Sakura, don't  be like that!" he complained. "Come on! Turn around and finish talking to me!" But she refused to turn around. "Hey! Finish what you started Sakura! I'm trying to talk to you--come on!"

But she refused. So, he decided to do what he thought was the only thing he could do.

He tackled into her and grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head. She started thrashing, and he pushed his lower body further on her, hoping it'd stop her, or at least keep her from kicking him. Then he made her look hhim straight in the eye.

"I can talk to you like a human being, or I can talk to you like this. Take your pick."
Ahhh, what a cute...story.

Sorry, but my parents wedding is tomorrow. So, I may not update until really late.

Jugo's got a dirty mind!
