Our Twisted Fairytale
By: Tenshi no Jigoku
Disclaimer: Would the owner of Naruto go to FF. net?
Summary: Slight AU. A Princess is feminine, confident, kind, and trustworthy, right? If so, these girls are far from one should be. She's a tomboy, she's too shy for her own good, she's a runaway, and she has to betray an ally country. Happily ever after for them? Maybe.
Pairings: NejiTen, InoShika, NaruHina, SasuSaku
Kirigakure no Sato
Blood splattered the carriage.
"ZABUZA-SAMA!" wailed a girl barely the age of five, tears threatening to drop out of her wide honey colored orbs.
The tall Mizukage had taken an flying fuuma shuriken to his lung for the girl.
Instead of answering the little girl's cry he turned to the ambushers to find a very shocking fact.
"Mist-nins?" he hissed in disbelief, his own nins attacking him?
Yet disbelief quickly turned into rage, Zabuza performed a few hand seals and shouted, "Suiton Dabakufu no Jutsu!" (1)
Harsh waters soon washed away the ambushers. All but one were wiped out and Zabuza wanted to quickly remedy that.
"Who sent you here!" he snarled viscously grabbing the nin from his collar.
"G-Gato! Please don't kill me!" stuttered the nin pathetically.
'Gato? My advisor Gato?' he thought incredulously.
"Do you know why he sent you to attack me?" he asked - more like demanded viscously, with a very, very sharp kunai at his disposal - the frightened nin.
"He said, he said if he had gotten rid of the current Mizukage he would be able to take control of Kirigakure no - AGH!" he was cut off when someone threw a shuriken to his throat.
The little girl once again screamed. Apparently more Mist-nins had come.
Zabuza blocked a barricade of various objects for the girl. His teeth grit in pain and sweat poured down his face.
"Listen closely," he commanded to the girl, "Your brother Haku, will gain the title of Mizukage when he turns eighteen. So run, run to the closest village and forget about Kirigakure! If you ever want to come back, just come back when you're sixteen, no earlier, got that?"
The girl's eyes grew rounder as she soaked up the information, "I can't see Aniki-chan?"
"No-GAH! RUN ALREADY!" urged Zabuza, his warm blood hit her as an kunai was embedded in his arm.
"B-but-"
"I'll hold them off, just go!" he yelled desperately.(A/N: I know, Zabuza is OOC, ne?)
The tears she had been holding back dripped down her cheeks, she turned around and ran as fast as her short legs could carry her. She winced when she heard the anguished cries. God, her lungs felt like they were going to burst, how long had she been running already? Something cold and wet touched the tip of her nose, she looked up to see…snow, softly falling and piling around her as she trudged on. Hours past and she couldn't even move a single part of her body, she was so tired. She lay down in the snow as it kept on piling around her. Her ears perked as she heard footsteps crunching in the snow. Was a Mist-nin coming to kill her? Right now, she hardly cared anymore.
'Zabuza-sama is gone, I'll never see Aniki-chan…' she thought sadly.
"What do we have here?" an articulate voice spoke loudly. "What the hell? What's a little girl like you doing out of Konoha borders?"
'Konoha? So no more Mist-nins?' she thought dully.
"Come on, let's get you into something warm, ne? We have to visit the Hokage," the voice said coaxingly as the person lifted her up and wrapped her in a long trench coat. "What's your name, Hun?"
She focused her eyes to study the figure carrying her, it was female with hair oddly shaped into spikes in the back.
"TenTen"
Kumogakure no Sato
"You remember the plans, correct?" the Raikage asked in an condescending tone.
"Hai!" announced a little girl around the age of four, her baby blue eyes filled with abundant confidence.
"Repeat the plans once more," he commanded, his eyes glaring fiercely down to her.
"Hai!" she said as she closed her eyes to block out the sea of stares. "The mission is to spy on Konohagakure no Sato, gain the trust of the citizens there, and report back once we have enough information on their weaknesses!"
"Very good," The Raikage told his daughter proudly, which earned a happy grin on her behalf. "Konoha has no idea the Yamanaka household had been quiet for a few days."
Ino snickered in amusement.
'Konohan fools, did you think a simple treaty would stop the war?'
Iwagakure no Sato
The Tsuchikage was livid, none of the other villages knew it but Iwagakure was slowly falling apart. Servants and such were starting to fight against government, and trying to bring it down. His advisor had told him that if him or his family wanted to survive the upcoming civil war they had to run. If the citizens actually wanted to start a war they would start by taking out the main leader, the Tsuchikage.
"Daddy, why do me and Mommy have to leave for?" a sweet voice interrupted his thoughts.
His gaze softened as it set on his daughter, a four year old with brilliant green eyes. He mussed her rosy hair affectionately and gave her a grin.
"You guys are just going on a little vacation, that sound fun to you sweetie?" he told her softly.
"But Daddy works all the time! You need a vacation more than us!" she whined hotly.
He forced a smile on his face, "Don't worry I'll come with you soon, okay?"
She pouted cutely, "Promise?"
She stuck out her little pinky which he took quickly, "Promise!"
"Sakura-chan, it's time to go," her mother spoke softly. "The carriage is here."
The little girl smiled even brighter and sang a "Bye, Daddy!" and ran to her Mother.
Grief washed over the Tsuchikage as he watched them leave to Konoha.
'I'm sorry Sakura-chan, for making another promise I might not be able to keep…'
Konohagakure no Sato
"Your footwork is all wrong! Your movements are too slow!" Hiashi scolded his daughter harshly.
"H-hai, F-father, gomen n-nasai," mumbled Hinata, her pearl eyes threatened to spill tears.
When her Father had told her he would train her today she was happy, though she ended up disappointing him and the whole clan. She couldn't stand the harsh glares from the elders.
"Pathetic, she's crying," whispered a Main House member, her Father looked disgustedly at her.
"Hinata, you disappoint me, showing your weakness in front of everyone," he spoke, every word was a big blow to her already low self-esteem. "You start the ninja academy tomorrow."
With that her father abruptly turned to leave her in the training arena. Hinata wiped her eyes quickly and felt a handkerchief shoved in front of her face. A boy a year older than her with eyes similar to her own pearly whites, though his were cold and calculating, was standing in front of her.
"A-arigato, N-Neji-n-nii-san," she stuttered quietly, slightly feeling better.
He merely glared at her with a "Humph" and left. She looked at his shrinking figure with dismay.
'Am I so weak that my own family rejects me?' she thought dejectedly, sobbing quietly.
Yeah, just another day in a life of a princess.
1)Suiton Dabakufu no Jutsu - I think it translates into 'Water explosion technique'(or something like that), it creates a water cyclone and is quite powerful!
Author's Note: Eh, this is my first FanFic...does it suck like I think it does? I'm thinking of deleting it...Constructive Criticism allowed...R&R please!
