A king's treasure (SasuNaru)

Cross swords

"I'm sorry, Sasuke. My father needs me." Naruto exclaimed as he moved towards the soldiers and further away from me.

That's right. He would risk his life to do his father proud.. He's always been talking about his father. Why would I even think I could win a place more important than his father in his heart?

I'm merely a friend to him.

Yet he is everything to me.

I was starting to lose my patience.
"Come with me." I sternly commanded.

The general stood in front of the boy and his build was able to cover the boy entirely as he disappeared from my sight.
"I can't do that, Sasuke. I can't."

His voice echoed my mind as he used the same tone that I used with him, a week ago.

I told myself I wouldn't lose him. And I wouldn't take any chances of losing him, but lately I've done so many mistakes. But if the mistakes were decided by Naruto, how could I have avoided it?

"Prince, you should know by now."
I drew out my daggers, while staring into the eyes of the general.
"You don't have a choice."

There were seconds of terrifying silence as fear grew in everyone's eyes while they watched me.
I abruptly made a sudden leap down and there were a few shots fired but missed me. I landed safely and grab ahold of the general's neck with my two daggers crossed in front of him.

All of his soldiers could do nothing but point their guns at me, afraid of hurting their general.

The prince surrendered himself, "Alright. Don't harm anyone. I'm the one you want."
He frowned in defeat, a slight hint of agony in his eyes.

I will take away that agony. I swear.
I stretched out my hand, awaiting for his.
The prince bit his lip and frowned sadly while looking away as he gave me his hand.

Was it hurting him to be with me?

The general abruptly charged at me, pulling the prince back at the same time. My daggers slipped out of my hands from the sudden attack. And that moment every solider was trying to aim and eliminate me. But I was too close to the general, fighting hand to hand combat with him, they couldn't get a good shot without the chances of hitting the general as well.

"I can't let you have the prince!" He exclaimed loudly as he struggling to push his sword up my neck. But I was closer to pusher it to his neck instead. The sharp sword cut through my gloves and into my palm. I was bleeding but so was he.

My blood was dripping down from my hands but I was winning. The blade was beginning to slice his skin on his neck. "UGHH! You!"
A brave solider dropped his gun and pounced on me. He knew very well he was no match for me without his gun. I kicked him off me and he landed on his comrade. I realized I was pretty far from the general now and everyone took advantage of that second to get a clear shot.

I dodged and swerved as they opened fire while dashing towards the group. I kicked the first one I saw in his face and as I landed on him, I swept some of the fighters off their feet causing them to lose balance and stumble.
I took that chance to grab my daggers but I was shot in the shoulder while I slit the nearest soldier's neck and stole his gun.

I reloaded and there was utter silence.
I see fear in their eyes as sweat rolled down their faces.
Wait.
Where was the general? And more importantly where was Prince Uzumaki?

I tightened my grip on the gun as I gritted my teeth in anger.

I leaped up as high as I could and hanged on my chandelier. I had to swing myself around to avoid the bullets as I killed them one by one.
A shot was made to the chain supporting the chandelier. It eventually gave in as the walls cracked and it fell.

I hopped off to the second floor as I heard it crashed on the first floor.
I looked down and most of the soldiers were killed and some injured badly by the accident.

I have to get my wound checked as soon as possible.

But there was no time to lose, I bolted out of the mansion and into the snowy forest.
Shit. It's snowing. It won't do my wound any good. It's going to make it worst. I have to hurry.

I applied pressure on the wound with my palm even though my palm was slashed. The pain was excruciating and all I could do was swallow my grunts.
My blood dropped onto the snow, staining it red.

There were no signs of the general or prince so far. I sped up, they surely were heading back to the kingdom.
I took the familiar path and eventually caught up with them.

I shot the commander's leg on sight and Prince Naruto jolted from the sudden bang.

He turned to look at the shooter and immediately he went in front of the general, using his body as shield.
"No, prince.. I don't deserve this!" He tried tugging at the prince.

"As Prince, I order you, do not move."

And the prince's eyes turned back to glare at me. "You want me right?" He lifted his arms to me as if he was a prisoner waiting to be handcuffed.
"Take me and harm no one else!"
