Two Loves, One Fate (Itachi & Sasuke Uchiha)

№.13 :: I Do's & I Don'ts

Chapter Thirteen

A knock at my door brought me back to my senses. I quickly sat up, facing away from the door so that I could have time to wipe my tears away. How long was I thinking? It couldn't have been that long. I rubbed my eyes a bit, trying to wipe away all traces of crying. I didn't want to show any weaknesses to anybody at this time. "You may come in," I shouted to whoever was at my door. I quickly heard the door open and close behind whoever entered my room. I still faced away from the door. I was in no mood to talk, but I just had to deal with it sometimes.

"I've heard that you came back," said an unfamiliar male voice, a voice that belonged to someone that I've seen, but haven't been introduced to properly.

My head quickly snapped towards the direction of the door to see who this person was. A frown quickly appeared over my lips once I realized who this person was. Standing in my doorway was my future husband, Prince Mayako and he had a large, cocky smile playing on his face. That smile told me that I was going to hate this guy with a passion; and I'm supposed to marry him?

I slowly got off my bed to face him, not happy at all with what was probably going to happen. I just stared at him, my eyes holding no kind emotions towards him. I think my emotionless state seemed to upset Prince Mayako, but I couldn't care less at the moment. He should be thinking about how I felt about this situation, but no. He was just like the other princes that I met throughout my life. He was cocky and self-centered...

"Why are you frowning?" Prince Mayako asked, taking a small step towards my direction as I took a step backwards. I wanted to keep a safe distance between us since I didn't know if I would be able to control my emotions if he angered me to that point.

"Why are you here?" I asked changing the subject completely, "you have no business being in my room right now." I wasn't going to answer his questions until he answered mine and I didn't care if I angered or upset him. He should feel what I'm going through right now. I crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for his reply.

"I can't even visit my future wife before our delightful wedding tonight," Prince Mayako said with a cocky grin appearing on his face as he took another step towards me, forcing me to take another step back again, "and don't you mean our room?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused with what he was telling me and slowly losing the small amount of patience that I had for him to start with. I wasn't in any mood to deal with the crap that he was probably going to give me any second now.

"After tonight, we will be sleeping in the same bed together and I'll be staying in your room until we move to my kingdom in the Wind Country," Prince Mayako answered, taking a couple of steps towards me as I was forced to retreat a few steps back. I didn't believe what he was saying. My father wouldn't send me to live in another kingdom or would he? I was his only heir and he needed me to rule our own kingdom before I ruled anyone else's. I doubt that Prince Mayako was telling me the truth.

"Why don't you stay where you are?" the annoying prince asked, standing a few feet away from me. I just stared at him, dumbstruck. Was he that oblivious? Did he really not know why I wasn't standing still for him? I smirked at my little thoughts and looked back at him, staring him directly into his dark eyes. Prince Mayako was oblivious to the fact that I couldn’t even stand the sight of him.

"I refuse to stand still for you because I don't want you to touch me," I answered straight-forwardly, watching the grin on his handsome face turn into a serious frown. I stared at his reaction as angered filled him. I could only guess that in the past, he was never denied what he wanted the most. Too bad I wasn't going to be the one to keep that tradition going.
