The Prince and the Prisoner

Chapter 2

Prince Sasuke was frustrated – irritated, and very much ready to kill his Brother. Itachi had suggested that he take a 'walk' around the courtyard – basically kicked him out, just so he could flirt with the maid.

Complete jerk.

The younger Uchiha glared at a rosebush.

'Damn you Itachi, I didn't even get to finish my coffee!'

I don't think I need to tell you that the only thing worse than an Uchiha is an Uchiha without caffeine in his system.

"LET GO OF ME, YOU BASTARD!"

The prince turned- most probably to glare at the person making the racket.

Blue eyes, the color of the ocean, fearfully stared up, at him. They were the deepest shade of blue Sasuke had ever seen – instantly drawing him in. He had to tear his eyes from those captivating azure eyes.

There, on his knees, in the middle of the corridor was a blonde boy- no older than 20. His clothes were almost ripped to pieces hanging loose from his tanned body. His golden hair was matted with blood, so were his clothes.

"Nngh" The blonde eyes squinted in pain as he was pulled into a straighter position. Sasuke's eyes snapped to the man holding the boy by the hair, a sudden urge to protect the boy took over him.

"My apologies, Your Highness," The man said, "This filthy vermin won't just shut up."

Now Sasuke didn't like how the man called the boy vermin.

And he definitely didn't like how man touched the boy's face with his unworthy hands.

"Vermin?"

"He is the Kyuubi's vessel, sir." The man said with a slight bow.

Oh...

The prince was at loss for words.

He wanted to protect the Damn Kyuubi! This could not be happening. He was not supposed to have feelings towards that creature. He deserved to suffer – after all, he was responsible for the deaths of millions.
Alright - it was the lack of coffee – Yes- that was it.
Stupid Itachi!
He dismissed them with a flick of his hand as he saw his brother walking towards him. As the boy was roughly pulled to his feet Blue eyes met Black again. Sasuke felt his insides twist as he saw the fear in them.

"Wait!" He blurted out. "Have Tsunade see to them." He gestured to the gashes on the boy's back.

"Sir, the Kyuubi would probably heal him by the time we get back to his cell, someone like Lady Tsunade need not waste time on such filth. After all-"

The full power of the famed Uchiha glare almost made him – excuse my language- Piss his pants.

"Y-Yes, Sir" He stammered, as he dragged the blond away.

"Done delivering justice, little brother?" Itachi had an amused glint in his eyes as he regarded his Brother.

"Done flirting with the maid, elder brother?"

"Touché"

They walked back in silence, but Sasuke could not forget the azure skies in the boy's eyes.
