Chapter Nine: Sasuke and his Helper!

XxxXxxX

Sasuke's POV

The next morning, I woke up on a bed. Yeah, for the first time since thet brought me here, they actually made me sleep in one. It wasn't that comfortable though, and better yet, I have no idea how the hell did I end up like this. Groaning, I made an effort to sit up, even if my body's still aching.

I looked around and saw the four plain walls of this small room that surrounded me. I glanced at my wrists and saw the mark left my those rusty chains they had me in. Tsk.. this is the reason why I don't chain prisoners in Konohagakure. Because I know how it feels (mind you, I was known as the King of Theives and escaped from different jail about five times before) and yeah, it sucks.

I averted my eyes to what I was wearing.

Just as I expected. The same clothes I wore when I left Daisy.

Daisy..

I wonder how she is? Tsk. Shizune and Naruto better make sure my baby's alright, or else!

*poosh!*

I then heard a strange sound, pulling me back to reality. I furrowed my eyebrows and scanned the room once more... hm.. what could have ma--

"BOO!"

"F*CK!"

I jolted out of bed and later on, heard a small burst of laughter. Damn it! "What was that?!" I vocalized the question that popped out of my head and searched for the source of sound. But I saw nothing! Am I in a genjutsu or something?

"Hey, over hear 'ya big chicken!"

Again, I took in a deep breathe to calm my nerves and looked down. Sh*t!

"A dwarf?"

The little guy glared at me, and crossed both his arms over his tiny chest. In estimation, he's just a foot tall.

"Who you callin' dwarf?! I'm no no no no dwarf! I'm a Garden Gnome! Garden Gnome!"

I scratched the back of my head and sat down in an Indian sit. "Hn.. okay. You are a Garden Gnome. So, what are you doing here anyway?" Actually, I'm not surprised. I saw ones like him before in the Land of Mysteries back before I kidnapped Princess Sakura for the fortune.

The little man--who looked more like a doll-- face palmed and yelled at me again,

"Don't call me a Garden Gnome!"

Sheesh. =__="

"Then, what should I call you?"

For a moment, he paused and placed his hand below his chin in a thinking position. Then, it was as if a little lightbulb sparked.

"Aha! Aha! Aha! Call me Michael Jackson! Yeah!"

I gave him an 'are you fcking serious' look and sighed before I noticed the name tag on his green shirt.

"Yeah, sure.. whatever Miko."

He pouted, making me smile a little.

"Tsk. Anyway Sasuke---"

"How the hell did you know my freakin' name?"

He glared at me again and only then did I let him continue.

"---it doesn't matter how I knew you're name! Anyway, I was summoned by Queen Sakura to be your garden helper here in the palace!"

Sakura..

Damn. I felt like my heart just broke into a million pieces again just by hearing her name.

"Garden helper? For what?" I couldn't help but be curious myself. And then it hit me.....oh no...

Miko smirked.

"Yes, yes, yes, Sasuke! You are, from now on, the Queen's personal slave! Now, get up because she wants her favorite part of the castle fixed asap!"

I wanna pinch myself to check if I was dreaming. But hell! I know this isn't a dream.

"And that is?"

Miko smiled wider. Imagine a gnome smiling like a Chesire cat. Tsk...

"The Hanging Gardens, of course!!"

I was about to give my comment about this matter, but then, the door bursted open and in came an annoying Prince in a crappy armor. Yeah, the redheaded bastard. I saw Sasori smirked and pointed his index finger at me.

"Slave, may I remind you that you have work to do."

I almost cursed under my breathe if it wasn't for Miko's small words of wisdom. Don't be affected.

So, with nothing else to do, I stood up and had a little glaring contest with him first before I followed him to who knows where. As we were walking down a hallway, I asked,

"Where's Sakura?"

He shot me a look. "It's Queen Sakura for you, Your Lowness."

Tsk!!! (=____=++++)

He's fcking getting on my nerves!

"Answer me, Prince Annoying!!"

I shot back but to my surprise, he just smirked and licked his lips.

"She's still in bed. In my room. You can't blame her though, after all, last night really was a very tiring night for her----"

PAAAAK!!!

And what did you expect me to do? Hn. I punched the bastard!! And spatted out,

"You fcking @sshole! I know you're lying, but atleast respect my wife!! Keep that dirty mouth of yours shut or else I will kill you with my own two hands next time." And with that, Miko calmed me down and lead me to the garden.

Sasori was left there still holding his broken nose.
