The Princes and Princesses

I was watching Naruto episode #192 when this idea came to me. It's amazing how often that happens. I'm watching or reading something I like when I suddenly get an idea from that story. Well, anyways, the synopses will be told in the next chapter. I don't own Naruto, by the way.

It was a regular day for the capital of the Fire Country. The shops were opening, the birds were singing, and the three princesses were taking their daily walk thought the town. That's right, you heard me; there are three princesses.

You see, the Fire Country is really three different countries merged into one; ruled by three different kings. Well, two kings and one queen. Anyways, this three… rulers, each have a daughter. (Well, the queen only has a step daughter, but that's beside the point.) And these three daughters are known to the people as the three princesses.

But, I'm moving away from the actual story, aren't I? The three princesses were on their walk… oh, I nearly forgot. I have to say who the princesses are. I can't keep calling them the princesses. Well, I can, but it would get very confusing. (At this rate, I'll never get to the story.)

The first princess was Sakura Haruno, step daughter of Queen Tsunade. She had short, bright pink hair, beautiful green eyes, fair skin, and a skinny figure (but don't tell her I Said that.) Her favorite color to wear was red. She also had a nasty temper, but that was ignored by most people. She was known as the most loved of the princesses.

The second princess was Ino Yamanaka, daughter of King Inoichi Yamanaka. She had long, light blond hair, done up in a ponytail, sparkling blue eyes, and a beautiful figure. Her favorite color to wear was purple. She had been long standing frienemies with Sakura, but no one could remember why any more. She was also known as the second most loved of the princesses.

The last princess was also the least liked. Hinata Hyuga, daughter of King Hiashi Hyuga, was one of the most beautiful princess's of the three. She had dark blue hair, fair skin, and white eyes, with a tinge of lavender. She had a full-figure and her hair was waist-length, with straight-cut bangs that conceal her forehead. Her favorite color to wear was lavender. But she was not at all like the other princesses in one extent. While the other two showed off their beauty, Hinata was too shy, and so hid her looks from everyone.

Ok, now, for real this time, on with the story. The three princesses were on their walk, when three men landed in front of them. Sakura, Ino, and Hinata recognized them as their father's messengers. "My apologies, three princesses," the middle messenger Said, "but your fathers asked that you return to the palace at once."

"Why," Sakura asked. "They Said they have an important announcement to make," the one on the right Said. Sakura frowned. If whatever their fathers were going to say needed to be said with them present, then what they were going to say was going to be about them. And they all knew it.

Later, back at the palace…

"As you probably are aware," Inoichi Said, once everyone was there, "the four great countries that border ours have been our enemies for a long time. Yes, we have a truce with them, but that truce is still uneasy."

"So," Sakura said, "what's the problem?" "The problem is," Tsunade said, "that this truce is about to end." "Is there any way we can stop this," Hinata asked. "I wasn't finish," Tsunade Said, "the truce is about to end, unless the three of you marry the three princes of three of the warring countries. Then we'll have enough power to overtake the fourth."

"What," Sakura Said, "you mean, we have to go through an arranged marriage?" "I'm sorry," Hiashi Said, "it's the only way." "Well," Ino asked, "can we at least see who we're going to marry?" "We don't even k now what they look like," Tsunade Said, "but we've received word that they're in the next town over, so they will be arriving tomorrow."

"So, let me get this strait," Sakura Said, "we've each got to marry one of three princes who are coming tomorrow. What we don't?" "Then the fourth country will invade," Inoichi Said, "and its ruler swears that, if you three aren't married to, and in love with, your husband, that he will take you three as his brides. And his picture we have."

Hiashi then tossed a picture to the three girls. It was of a man with long black hair, pale white skin, and a cold look in his eyes. "We'll take the princes," the three princesses Said at the same time. "Good," Tsunade Said, "and remember, the three of you have to love the three of them, and vice versa."

"We'll keep that in mind," Sakura Said as they left. After the three princesses left, Hiashi, Inoichi, and Tsunade began to act like they should be acting, with tears and regret. But they were the rulers of this land after all, and they couldn't show weakness; not even to their own children. Sad, isn't it.

"I wonder," Sakura Said as she and her two friends walked down the hall, "what are our future grooms to be like."

Meanwhile, at the next town over…

Two guys sat at a table in a dango shop. The first one had spiky, black hair, and wore a grey high-collared short-sleeved shirt, dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees, and a purple rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow, in which he carried a sword. He also wore blue wrist warmers. His name was Sasuke.

The second one had short ink-black hair, ink black eyes, and skin so pale, in made snow look a dark as the night sky. He had a high collared midriff shirt, black pants, a small backpack, ninja sandals, and gloves with his index and thumb fingers exposed. His name was Sai.

They were both in the middle of a game of chess. "Sasuke," Sai said, "where do you think Naruto is?" "No clue, Sai," Sasuke said. Just then, the ground started to shake. Seconds later, a blond boy with whisker marks on his cheeks, wearing an orange jumpsuit, ran by. Then, an army of women, some of them wearing only towels, most of them brandishing floor brushes and buckets that people use in the bath.

'Pervert,' Sasuke and Sai thought as they saw the blond boy run off. After he, and the army of women, was gone, Sasuke and Sai both returned to their game. "I wonder how long we have to stay here," Sasuke Said. "Not too much longer, apparently," Sai told him.

I hoped you like my story so far. Sorry if the parts where I spoke my mind in the story were annoying to you, but I thought the story would be more interesting like that. But I also hope you will stick around for the rest of the story. Please review.
