The Uchiha Princess

~.Chapter - 11.~

Time went on fast once they started going to the academy, things have fallen into a routine somehow. They would still train together and studied together. Sasuke would be impressed with her ability to grasp techniques and knowledge fast, Sasuke admired that and what was more admirable was she was, unlike Sasuke, very humble about it and would help Sasuke as much as she can. Sasuke loved that about her, she would always be ready to help him but she will continue on at her pace even if he is still learning it, she knows that he is not bitter about her intelligence.

Their final tests are approaching and soon they will be genin. They would get up early, Makaira usually got up extra early to train and meditate. Sasuke would wake up sometime later would usually join her for training or sometimes just watch her. They would prepare their lunch boxes a night before so they won't have to hurry in the morning. They would have their breakfast and then leave for the academy. Makaira had made some friends and they were cool, Shikamaru and Makaira bonded over napping at class time, Choji instantly befriended her when she gave him her lunch box when he dropped his. Hinata and she would hang out sometime during outdoor activity and the kunoichi classes they attended. Sasuke knew that she would have more male friends but he was happy to see that the people around her were good and genuine people, not fanboy that stalked her.

Sasuke is the healthier one of the two, in terms of eating healthy food and not too many sweets. Makaira on the other hand, LOVES ramen, hence unsurprisingly Sasuke was in charge of the kitchen and would make sure that she eats healthy food as well but he can't refuse her when she would just look at him asking if they could have ramen. So yes, Sasuke did learn to make ramen at home.

Makaira is good at savings, she knows how to manage the whole house, their essentials AND manages to save as well. So, that responsibility went straight to her, it was admirable how she would make sure to keep some money aside for fun things they wanna do like eating out, festivals and stuff like that. They had the separate funds from their clan as well but they didn't wish to use it. They were satisfied with their monthly allowance that they were provided with.

Makaira has been getting enough hate from Sasuke's fan-girls, they try to do prank her, do petty things or simply show-off but being gifted with the Uchiha's blank, impossible to read face, they just get frustrated with her showing no emotions. She has ignored them, they just want something they simply cannot have. She can't help them there and honestly, they should be focusing on training and getting ready for the world outside the academy. She wondered what kind of team she would be placed in. She was sure, Sasuke and she would be placed together.

Things have been going on smoothly, there were Ambu's around her all the time, keep an eye on her and she didn't mind that, she had learned the reason and is on board with them because she knows a female Uchiha would be wanted by many, even though she might not be, well, a woman, right now, but wanted nonetheless. She would train every day extra because she didn't want to depend on other people to protect her. If someone tries to hurt her she would kick their butt before they can even touch her. She was working on her speed, accuracy, control, everything she used to see her brother working on. She would practice with his Katana every day, she decided that like him she would use it as her main weapon as she already has a knack for it.

She was aware of the new presences around her, she has become more careful now since she can't distinguish the presence as good or bad, she has got used to people following her and keeping an eye on her but this one feels different. She was being careful now, she may have been asleep for long but she is no fool.

Sasuke has been nothing but sweet and caring towards her, well, he better! He doesn't want her to be vengeful like him, he felt that he will need something to bring him back once he has completed his mission and she was that. She will always be that person to him. Maybe it was a good thing that his parents married him to her so early on. Maybe fate knew the darkness that was lying ahead.

Sasuke called for her as their lunch was ready, they had taken leave from the academy because they were called to the hospital for Makaira's checkup and to see how well is she coming along. He made sure he has everything ready to leave as Makaira came down in her casual wear. She sat down beside him and thanked him for the food, they ate food in silence like they usually would. On their way to the hospital, they had to shake off the fangirls and fanboys who were following them. They were sure that a few managed to find them again, but they were just too done with it.

"Makaira-san, how are you feeling?"

"I feel fine, I don't get tired after doing small tasks, I have been eating well and I have gained more weight as well."

"That's good to hear, would you please follow us to the examination room?"

"Sure"

Sasuke got up to follow her there but was stopped by the medic who wanted to talk to him about something in private, Sasuke was reluctant but after a reassuring smile from Makaira, he sat back down.

"Uchiha - san, There seem to be some problems coming up with Makaira's system, we would like to keep her here for some more tests and treatment"

Sasuke frowned deeply, last time they were here he was told that everything was coming along well and that soon they won't have to come there every few weeks. The medic-nin continued to explain to him complicated medical stuff which went over his head. He felt like kicking him right in the face and he should have, because the next second, he comes at him with a surgical knife that was near-by. Sasuke was quick to dodge it and activated his Sharingan, he knew that this was not planned for him but for Makaira and he had to get to her as soon as possible. Sasuke glanced towards the door Makaira had gone in only to see that no one was there and the room was empty. Makaira and the nin who led her in were gone, Sasuke couldn't see more since his Sharingan was not as strong but it was still strong enough to deal with this bastard. He could feel the anger burning through him.

Sasuke sensed him coming at him again and opened the door just in time to block his attack, smashing the imposter's face on the door, he kicked him out towards the hallway. That was the quickest way to get the attention of people nearby, he could have easily dealt with him but right now, his priority was not that man but Makaira. People around them saw what happened and came to Sasuke's aid.

A nin shouted from down the hallway, "Imposter!!! Don't let him escape!!! They have taken Uchiha-time."

Sasuke was too angry at the situation to even roll his eyes at their late realization, if it was someone else, Sasuke would have scoffed at the nin for their lack of security but this was Makaira. The ninja's present there held down the imposter, making sure that  he won't escape, "Where did you take her?" One of the ninjas asks him, holding a kunai to his throat.

"Far away from here."
