Chapter Thirteen: Kidnapped

XxxXxxX

Third Person's POV

Daisy and Ryoku were at their favorite spot near the playground. The meadows. Daisy recalled that it was her parents who first brought her here when she was four. Back then, her mom taught her to make flower crowns. Though she couldn't understand the sparkle in her mommy and daddy's eyes whenever they took her to the meadows, it was clear to her that this place is special for the both of them.

"Don't worry, Daisy-chan.. Dad and Shikamaru-san will find the King and Queen in no time, believe it!"

The ten-year old girl forced a smile and darted her eyes back at the daisy she was holding. Mommy said I was named after this kind of flower, but she never told me why. "I hope so.."

Ryo smiled cheekily and placed a flower behind her ear.

"I know so."

And that gesture was enough to make the little Uchiha blush crimson.

"U-Um.. I think we should go back now, Ryo-kun. The guards might be looking for me."

The blonde boy nodded in response and helped his childhood bestfriend stand up. The two were walking hand in hand, chatting about anything undersl the sun when suddenly, Ryoku Uzumaki stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?"

"Daisy, behind you!"

And just like that, a kunai with black markings came out of nowhere. Daisy's eyes widened when she saw the object flying towards her at full speed. It was a good thing her bestfriend was fast enough to push her away and pull out his own kunai to block it.

Cling!

"W-What the.."

The young princess was shocked. Someone wants be dead. She bitterly thought and stood up, facing Ryo. "Ryo, we need to go, now!" They were about to run away but as the two turned on their heel, something emerged from the ground.

Fear and frustration filled Daisy as she watched a creepy looking plantman with a venus' flytrap head stare her down. A mocking grin spreading across his face. Everything about him screamed danger.

Ryoku made Daisy hide behind her. He wouldn't let anyone touch her no matter what.

Zetsu's amusement rose as he look at the picture in his hand. Then, he stared intently at the little princess.

"Princess Daisy Uchiha.."

Oh, their Sir Sasori would be joyed to see the little heiress. She had jade green eyes that resembles that of her mother's, but at the same time, Daisy's raven black hair and prominent nose gave away her father's traits.

"Who are you?!" Ryo yelled, making the Akatsuki nin frown. Blonde pest.

"None of your---business, brat. So, get out of our way!" And just like that, Zetsu made several hand signs and casted a jutsu. Ryoku froze.

Literally.

"D-Daisy-chan.."

Daisy felt her eyes well up with tears. She can't bear seeing Ryo in pain. She faced the plantman and glared at him. "It's me you want, ne? Okay, let's make a deal. Let him go, and I'll go with you.."

And it was only in matter of seconds until Ryoku was finally able to move. Daisy flashed him a sad smile and at that same time, a cloud of black smoke surrounded her and her kidnapper.

Ryoku gritted his teeth and tried to reach them, but it was too late. They were already gone. And that made him furious.

Soon enough, he ran back towards the castle to inform the elders.

Sasuke's POV

"What are we doing here?"

"Shut up, slave."

I frowned. In any situation, my wife is still the boss. I scanned my new surroundings. We were back at the crystal palace. Queen Sakura brought me to an empty room that looked more like a dangeon. I've been trying to start a conversation hours ago, but I always end up having a monologue.

"Now, give Blossom a bath, KING Sasuke."

She finally said and faced me. As usual, she had an expressionless face that makes me want to pull my hair out of frustration. Keep your composure, Uchiha. I reminded myself and displayed a smug look.

"Give Blossom a bath, huh? Would you like me to take off your clothes or would you prefer to have them wet instead, my cherry blossom?"

She scowled at me. "Pervert!"

I may not have an idea what's going on, but one thing is for sure: Sakura bitch or not, she's still mine. A smirk spread it's way to my features and I advanced towards her. And for a second, I saw shock in her green eyes.

"Sakura---"

"Queen Sakura!"

I stepped closer and held her chin to make her look at me.

"Fine. Queen Sakura, why are you resisting me so bad?"

Her brows furrowed. "What the heck? Get away from me!"

"I will if you admit it."

"I have nothing to admit, slave!"

"Stop these games, Mrs. Uchiha."

And just like that, I kissed her lips. Her full and moist lips, I missed so much. Her lips that can make any man crazy. Suddenly, I remembered how Sasori kissed her earlier, and something deep inside me snapped.

That made me kiss her torridly, aggressively.

I cupped the sides of her face and pulled her closer so that I can have more access. I bit her lower lip and slid my tongue inside her mouth. The kiss became more heated when finally, Sakura responded and kissed me back with the same intensity. I smirked when I heard her moan.

"S-Sasuke.."

But our moment was cut short when a growl interrupted us. We pulled away, panting. Sakura held her head and muttered, "..it hurts.." over and over again. I was about to ask her about it but before I can even get closer to her, she went back to her emotionless self and nonchalantly said as she pointed towards a direction.

"Give little Blossom a bath, slave. Now. Or else, no lunch for you!"

And with that, she walked away, leaving me gaping at her little pet...

Well, if you can consider a fire-eating dragon, little!
