The main room was dimly lit, with candles casting shadows against the red walls. It was a quiet night, a peaceful night, thus her subtle cries were heard no matter how hard she tried to stifle them.

"Hush, my dear sweet Usagi. Everything will be alright." Her mother whispered, bringing her close, stroking her hair. "Your father will hear you crying."

She clamped a hand over her mouth, eyes widening in fear. She brushed away the tears, and moved away from her mother's comforting embrace. "I'm sorry for troubling you mother." There were no traces of tears left, her face masked with politeness and detachment.

"Usagi…" Her mother's voice was filled with worry. "By morning ninjas will arrive to escort you. Please don't do anything…rash."

"I won't." She gave her mother a small smile before turning away.

"Usagi." Her mother sighed. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you forever."

Usagi kept silent, opening the door softly and sliding it shut. Once outside, "I'm sorry too." She whispered to herself, her eyes watering once more in sadness and desperation.

--------- Konoha Village

Pink. Black. Blonde.

Three pairs of feet were nearing the point where the village's territory ended and where the open territory began. There was a trail to guide them that would split up a short distance away leading them to different directions.

"I don't get it. Haven't we gotten stronger already? Why did they give us this C-Rank mission? Are they insulting us or something?" Naruto complained loudly with an annoyed 'hmph'.

Sakura frowned. "I hate to agree with you Naruto, but it does seem strange. Maybe there's a lack of mission coming in and this was the only one available." She paused and turned shyly, "What do you thing Sasuke?"

Silence. "A mission is a mission."

"Um…hai!" Sakura cheered with a big silly grin.

After turning towards their left at the split, they walked for roughly three hours before a clearing came up ahead. The town was fairly large, noisy and lively as the townsfolk went about their daily business. Nobody seemed to notice or mind the three as they entered.

Sakura kept glancing at their surroundings. Everyone looked so happy and carefree.

Naruto also kept looking around. "Ramen! Ramen! I want to eat some Ramen! I wonder if their Ramen is as good here?" Naruto thought to himself with a grin.

"Over there." Sasuke pointed, breaking off their thoughts. "That's where we're supposed to go."

"Oh wow." Sakura breathed. It was a really huge house… like a palace!

--------- Palace

"Your bodyguards have arrived hime." Her maid, playmate, confidant and best friend Minako announced towards Usagi's back.

"Thank you Minako. For telling me." Her tone was casual, almost dismissive but polite as always,

She was hugged from behind. "Hey." Minako whispered. "I'll miss you Usagi." Usagi turned and hugged her back. "Me too."

"C'mon." Minako tugged at her hand. "I heard one of your bodyguards is really cute." Minako winked.

Usagi knocked discreetly on the door, waiting to be admitted. Her face was calm, her pulse normal, her breathing even. The only thing that could give her away was her damp hands. Thankfully, she didn't have to touch anybody.

She entered to the chambers, her head bent until her father would specifically address her. She was curious about her bodyguards, especially since she didn't know anything about them, thus interfering largely with her plans.

"Usagi, these will be your bodyguards. They are ninjas from the Konoha Village." Her father finally spoke to her.

Usagi lifted her head and studied them. Inwardly she was surprised, and vastly relieved, that they looked so young. They were probably the same age as her. She bowed her head to them and gave them a small smile.

---------

She was beautiful. The thought struck their mind all at once. Outwardly, Naruto was in awe, Sakura worried gauging Sasuke's reaction, and Sasuke was partially affected, until he felt Sakura's stare and his face once more became an unreadable mask.

Their Mission: Escort the bride to her husband-to-be.

It was a piece of cake.

There were no ninjas out to get them, no hired mercenaries to stop them… Sakura distinctly clarified.

So why do they get the feeling that this wouldn't be as easy as it looks?

Author's note: I decided to end it here for now. Hope you all like it and if you do review! Some facts are a bit vague and my plot isn't completely solid yet it my head, but I'll do my best!
