Disclamier: I don't own Naruto
This fable, like most long love stories out there, is a simple one A pure classic; the infamous Cinderella romance, told only a tad differently.
This is the story of a handsome prince, well, sort of, once you get past the eyebrows, who lived in an extravagant palace with his rich king of a father, whom he resembled very closely. He ruled the Konohagakure with honor, fairness, and most of all, shining youth.
This kingdom, a large and vast one at that, was at the center of all the nations, ruled by different kings and queens, but that was for another time…
This king and prince were highly respected, because of their kindhearted rule. The king, known as Gai, was wise, yet a little of the freaky side, but the prince was everlastingly dedicated to his father.
Prince Rock Lee, or Prince Lee as he was more frequently identified, was just as wise and just as the king, but sadly, equally as freaky.
His most reliable followers, Lord Neji and Lady Tenten, were always at the side of the two, but frequently questioned the odd ways of the King and Prince. The Lord and Lady worked very closely with them, as well as each other, which had in turn unearthed some profound feelings for each other, feelings they had kept a secret from the King and Prince, out of fear that they would give a grand speech to the whole land about the passion and youth of true love. Lord Neji was always a bit cold towards the prince, out right because he found him extremely strange, but Lady Tenten had admired the Prince for his daring and audacious ways.
Another one of the kingdoms close supporters were Lord and Lady Shikamaru and Ino Nara. Lady Ino was one of the most beautiful duchesses that hailed from a far away land, and had met Lord Shikamaru at a magnificent celebration that the prince and king had held. Though Lord Shikamaru was awfully lazy, and Lady Ino had a spoiled brat attitude, the two of them had fallen in love and gotten married not a year later. Lady Ino was actually considered the most beautiful female in the kingdom, and many of her previous suitors were taken aback when they found out she had wedded a lazy little horror like Shikamaru.
But the story isn't all about royalty.
No, this story involves some of the peasant castle hands as well.
Within the confines of the palace, were the every day servants, but who still play a role in our fairy-tale. The first one is a gorgeous, put poor maid named Sakura Haruno. If she had been born of royal blood, she would be known far and wide for her beauty and grace, looks that rivaled that of Lady Ino. She had sparkling jade-like eyes and glossy pastel pink hair; beauty beyond a mere mortal's comprehension.
But she was born from a meager washer woman who lived and died serving in the castle as a maid, and unfortunately, Sakura had been doomed to the same fate.
Though she was a plain servant, she always kept an optimal attitude, her faultless smile never leaving her face, at all times happy with the job she did and the place she lived, Though she had by no means ever had come face-to-face with the king and prince, by judging what the servants who had had said, they were odd looking, but decent people.
One of Sakura's friends, who had seen the King and Prince, was named Hinata. Hinata was also a maid, but much shyer and less confident than Sakura. When she was not serving Lord Neji and Lady Tenten, she was trailing around Sakura.
Another one of Sakura's friends was the court jester and hyperactive knucklehead, Naruto. He was very hectic sometimes, not to mention annoying, but he know what exactly what to day to get everyone in either joyful or foul mood. By some miracle of God, Hinata had fallen head-over-heals-in-love with Naruto. She was constantly blushing and twitching her fingers together whenever he got around her or came up in conversation.
Two butlers in the large mansion were Shino Aburame and Choji Akimichi. Shino at all times had a frown on his face and hardly ever took the time to talk but to the prince or to the king. Choji was eating something all the time, except around the king or the prince. Kiba Inuzuka, the animal caretaker, worked in the stables of the castle, taking care of horses and other animals that the king and prince owned, with help from his faithful dog, Akamaru.
Although these people were not rich, they lived in the castle with the nobles. They slept downstairs, the total amount of servants there was twenty, since few royal family members lived in the palace, so it was slightly crowded, nevertheless they were just as content with their servant life.
And things were peaceful like that, for a time.
But the peace didn't stay for very long.
Little did they know it, but each one of their lives, royals and servant hands, was about to change.
This is a story of a prince, who fell in love with a castle maid. With lots of dramatic and comical twists and turns, this story begins with the four most famous words in fairy-tale history…
