Chapter One

Three Month Later;

Sakura was sitting in her favourite part of the rose garden sipping tea when Madara walked over to her.

"Now, malady, shouldn't you be at your violin lesson right now?" He asked sitting in the other chair. He watched Sakura take another sip of her tea before she set it on the table and turned to look at him.

"I just finished not even fifteen minutes ago, Madara-kun." She smiled and pointed to her violin case sitting next to her. He looked down and nodded before standing up.

"Well, Princess, it's time to start your dance lessons, we're having a ball soon." He said taking her hand and pulling her to her feet. Sakura looked confused and said, "A ball? I do not remember planning a ball." Madara smiled.

"Ah, yes, well, I have planned this one. We need to let the Under World know that our beautiful Princess Sakura has returned and shall invite all the dukes, duchesses, and other royals to welcome you back." Sakura looked bored, but nodded.

After Sakura returned to the Under World three months ago, she hasn't been seen by anyone other than people in the castle. Sakura hasn't been herself after the day she left the Human World. She doesn't remember anything about that day. She doesn't remember Naruto, Sasuke, or any of her other friends she had met in the Human World. The day she was turned back, she was in a daze and Madara gave her a potion to make her forget everything she did in the Human World. But, she does remember being in the Human World. They told her she was there to see what humans were like, but Sakura does not feel like that's why she was there, but she goes with it.

"I see. When is the ball, Madara-kun?" She asked walking into the grand hall. Dance lessons were held in their biggest room, the grand hall was mostly for balls and small parties.

"It shall be in a mere week, unless you want it to be sooner?" He replied walking over to the dance instructor.

"No, a week is fine." She said fixing her dress. Sakura was wearing one of her favourite green dresses. It was a light green with small white bows, her sleeves ended at her elbows and her hair was held up by a white bow. After three months, her hair had grown into long pink beautiful locks.

"Yes, that's fantastic, Princess. Let me introduce your newest dance instructor. His name is Zetsu. I am positive you two will get along very well, yes?" He said beckoning Sakura to come say hello. Sakura walked over and smiled at Zetsu.

Zetsu was a demon she hadn't met before. He was half black and half white. His teeth were sharp and he was wearing a black suit, it was more modern than most of the clothes in the castle. He must have bought it in the human world. His eyes were a pretty color of yellow, and his hair was a mixture of light and dark green.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Zetsu-sensei." Sakura said with a small bow of the head. He returned her smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it is nice to meet the famous Princess Haruno Sakura." He said bowing. He straighten and continued, "I shall be your dance instructor for the ball." She nodded and turned to face Madara.

"Madara-kun, after my dance lessons I'd like to go over the details with you." Madara nodded and walked out of the grand hall. He could hear Zetsu telling Sakura how to stand and where to rest your hand at. He smiled and walked to his study.

'Everything is going to plan. Now, I just need to marry her and I can use the Haruno Flower all I want.' Madara thought opening his door to see Pein sitting in one of the waiting chairs in front of his desk.

"Madara…" Pein greeted closing the book he was reading. "How is Princess Sakura doing? Does she completely trust you yet? We need to start the plan soon, Zetsu went to the Human World and he said that Sasuke was planning an attack with a fox demon and some worthless humans."

"My dear little nephew, Sasuke?" Madara said and laughed, "That boy couldn't do anything. Sasuke is hopeless." Pein merely looked at him.

"It appears that they have information about what's happening here. I do not know if it's the fox-demon's parents or if someone even higher has been feeding them information." Pein replied. Madara leaned back in his chair and pondered this bit of information.

"We could have a traitor on our hands, or the boy's smarter than I give him credit for…" Madara finally said sitting straight in his chair and looking over a piece of paper sitting on his desk.

"I'll have Konan look deeper into this." Pein said and stood up. He walked over to the door and closed it behind him.

It was an hour later and Sakura was finished with her dance lessons. She was heading up the stairs when one of the Akatsuki called after her.

"Princess!" It sounded like it was Kisame, and sure enough it was. Sakura turned and saw his smiling blue face.

"Why, hello Kisame-kun." Sakura said with a warm smile. Sakura liked Kisame, he had character and he was always willing to talk or listen to her when she felt bored or upset. He was never boring and he always had funny stories to tell about Itachi. Kisame looked scary, but on the inside he was just a big teddy bear.

He smiled, "how's the beautiful Sakura-chan doing today?"

"I am well; I have just finished dance lessons for the ball next week."

"How splendid! Shall we play a game of chess?" He suggested and winked. Sakura held back a laugh.

"Ah, I wish I could, Kisame-kun, but I have to meet Madara-kun and go over the plans for the ball. I am truly sorry; I do hope we can play chess in the near future." She replied with a sad smile.

"Yes, yes, that is fine, malady Sakura; you know where to find me." He said and kissed the top of her hand before turning and walking down the stairs towards the front doors. Sakura watched him go and as soon as he was gone, she turned and continued up the stairs. She was walking past paintings on the walls before going into the library.

'Madara-kun won't mind if I'm a bit late.' She thought moving to one of the shelves. She stopped in front of the mystery section and pulled a book down at random. It read The Spell Book of the Haruno Clan. Sakura was puzzled.

'When was there a book named after us? And, more importantly spells?' Sakura thought. She walked out of the library and went straight to her room. She would read this later when she knew no one would disturb her. She reached her bedroom with no one stopping her and went right up to her bed. She had remembered that there's a small compartment in one of the bedposts. She pushed on the little hidden button and it opened, but placed the book into it. She closed the compartment and went to Madara's study.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to show up." Madara said with a smile, reaching out to take her hand. She placed hers in his and he kissed the top of it. Sakura smiled and Madara pulled Sakura closer to him, she was a bit shocked at his bold move, but permitted it. She looked up at him and he smiled one of his devilish grins at her. Their faces moved closer to each other's and Madara being the bolder and braver type leaned in and kissed Sakura.

Sakura hadn't planned for them to kiss, but she couldn't pull herself away. His kiss made her feel like heat was burning in her stomach and moving throughout her body. Madara wrapped an arm around her waist and she put her arms around his neck. He licked the bottom of her lip, wanting her to open her mouth, she aloud it. Their tongues wrestled with each other, but they needed air and broke apart. Sakura backed up and smiled. Her lips were a bit bruised and her dress was a little wrinkled, but all else beautiful.

"Madara-kun, we have to plan the ball." Sakura said as if their kiss hadn't happened. Madara nodded and pulled one of his more comfy chairs for Sakura to sit in, she sat and they started their work planning the upcoming ball.
