Sakura felt like she had lost complete control of her body, stopping in her tracks, unable to move a single inch or utter a word. A chill in the air ran straight through her; she never noticed before as she continued to stare into the pale blue eyes of a beautiful woman, dressed in equally beautiful robes, she had long dark blue hair tied in two braids and a noticeable mole at the bottom of her lip. She smiled at Sakura with what seemed like a kind and gentle expression, yet the kunoichi's instincts couldn't shake the disturbing feeling.
"It's very dangerous to stand on the roof; you could fall."
There was that voice again, so perfect, so unreal, as if nothing said with that voice could ever sound disgruntled.
"Um…" Sakura blinked thrice, and when she looked down again, looking at the women, she felt different; that disturbing feeling was gone.
Jumping down in front of the women, Sakura bowed her head. "Um, I'm sorry, I was just uh….I um-
Sakura heard a giggle and looked up. "No, it's quite all right, no need to apologise, it's not like you've done anything wrong."
"I was just…"
Yeah, Sakura had no idea how she was going to play getting caught walking on the rooftops; she hadn't even sensed this woman's presence until she made herself known.
"No need to explain either," she said, waving her hand with a delightful smile. "I must ask, though, are you lost by any chance?"
"Eh?" Sakura's sweat dropped. "You can tell?"
The words left her mouth before she had time to process them.
"Oh yes, your eyes are swimming with confusion. Where is it you're supposed to be going?"
Sakura knew to keep herself in check when in the presence of high-ups; it was a part of etiquette Rurumu had taught her. She told her that there are always different roles and scripts everyone must abide by when interacting in certain environments in order to flourish in them, but Sakura's mind became clouded the more time she spent looking at this woman. She rubbed the back of her head.
"I don't really know, I've only arrived last night."
"Oh, are you by any chance the girl Kouen brought?"
Sakura's eyes squinted in confusion. Kouen told her he only told his father and the emperor, so who…
"Oh, that face, now you truly look lost, allow me to explain." She put a hand over her heart. "I am Gyokuen Ren, wife to the emperor of Kou."
Sakura couldn't contain her surprised gasp and quickly bowed her head. "I'm so sorry I-
The empress laughed, and Sakura felt a hand gently pat her head. "No need for that, it's too late anyhow. Now, where are you heading, little dove?"
Sakura wanted to know where that nickname came from, but she chose not to answer the question: "I was actually looking for Lord Kouen."
Not true, but she couldn't say she was looking for his room, and she couldn't say her room because she didn't know where that was either!
"Which one? There are so many," Gyokuen asked in a joking tone. "I'm afraid Prince Kouen is still busy at this time of day, but he should be done within an hour. Why don't you come with me for now?"
Sakura didn't even get the chance to process because Gyokuen had grasped her arm and began leading her through the gardens, and while her grip wasn't anything that could really hold Sakura, she didn't pull away.
..
..
Eventually, Sakura was led to another area of the palace, where she saw two children, a boy and a girl, playing with a ball. Gyokuen led Sakura to the pavilion where a small table had been set with pillows. There was already tea and some kind of food, Sakura couldn't identify, next to biscuits and fruit set down. She took a seat opposite Gyokuen and glanced at the two children who continued to play, unaware of their presence.
"Those are my youngest children, Hakuryuu and Hakuei," she said
The girl Hakuei couldn't have been more than nine or ten, but even so, Sakura could see the resemblance to her mother, and as for Hakuei, who she assumed was no more than four or five, had that same dark blue hair like the two boys she saw this morning and blue eyes.
"Do you have four children?"
Gyokuen appeared surprised, though deep down, Sakura didn't believe she was.
"Yes, that's right, I have two older boys, Hakuyuu and Hakuren."
"I…saw them in the gardens this morning," Sakura said
Gyokuen offered Sakura some tea, which she politely accepted, after all, another common act of curtsey, even if you don't want to, accept it as a gesture of appreciation and acknowledgment; otherwise, you leave a bitter taste at the end of your meeting, and Sakura was able to remember this now that her mind no longer seemed to be swimming.
"Yes, that is usually the time they train before doing anything else." Gyokuen laughed again. She glanced back out, "Why, I do believe we've been noticed."
Sakura watched as the two children ran up to their mother, their eyes shining and huge grins on their faces as they called out to her, pulling at the fabric of her robes, slightly crinkling them. Their eyes then went over to Sakura, big and full of curiosity.
"Hakuryuu, Hakuei, this is Sakura Haruno, your cousin Kouen's special guest, come say hello."
They muttered a near-inaudible 'hello' and 'nice to meet you', and Sakura smiled in return. "It's nice to meet you, princess Hakuei, prince Hakuryuu. What were you playing earlier?"
Their eyes seemed to light up further after Sakura asked them that, and Hakuyuu quickly answered, "It was a new game I made up! You have to bounce the ball to the other person and then switch to the next black, but the ball mustn't go out of the square, or you lose."
"Well, that explains the chalk lines on the garden floors," their mother said, though she didn't sound upset, more like she was stating an observation.
"Do you want to play with us?" asked Hakuryuu, which earned him a small look of disapproval from his sister since it sounded impolite.
Sakura gave a small laugh before turning to Gyokuen, asking if it was all right to leave to entertain her children. She just nodded and smiled.
"I'd be honoured."
Sakura spent the next half an hour playing a simple game with the two young royals. From time to time, she would glance at Gyokuen and would always see her sitting there, smiling directly at them in a way that Sakura could only describe as a living statue. Once the children grew tired of the game, they had Sakura play other games with them to pass the time. They played tag, and as the end of the day drew nearer, these two children, Hakuei and Hakuryuu, seemed to grow closer to the pinkette. Gyokuen finally stood up from her sitting position and walked over to the three, putting an end to their play time, saying that it was getting late and that they still had afternoon classes to attend.
Though clearly reluctant, the children didn't protest.
Hakuei and Hakuryuu bowed and said goodbye to Sakura before running up to her and hugging her waist, then looking up at her.
"Will you please play with us again?" asked Hakuei
Sakura couldn't help but smile, she's always had a certain adoration for children, she didn't know if it was because of her longing to have had this kind of attention when she was a child as one who was always bullied, or if it was some kind of natural maternal instinct magnified from spending all that time in the children's ward at the hospital when she was still in training, she really didn't know.
"I'd be happy to."
'Assuming Kouen gives me the time,' she mentally added, but brushed off the thought; he obviously wasn't going to be able to spend every second of the day with her.
"It seems my children have taken a certain shine to you. I'd very much like to speak more with you as well," said Gyokuen, smiling at the pinkette to which she blushed bashfully in response.
"Oh yes, I still need to help you find your way back," Gyokuen said as if forgetting the reason she brought Sakura with her in the first place. "I'll bring someone to escort you-
"That won't be necessary, Aunt Gyokuen. I'll bring her to my brother myself."
They saw Koumei entering the gardens, and he looked really tired, judging by the dark lines underneath his eyes.
"Koumei, it's rare to see you out and about. Come to pick up the little dove?"
With a stiff nod, Koumei looked at Sakura and gestured for her to follow him. "If you'll follow me, Sakura,"
Sakura felt an odd change in Koumei compared to the brief time they met, but didn't protest and left after giving her last greetings to Gyokuen and her children.
When they were completely out of sight, Koumei spoke in a serious tone, "I wouldn't wander off like that again, nii-san's pretty upset."
"Right." Sakura exhaled, as if she could breathe properly again.
..
..
Koumei and Sakura were able to exchange a few pleasantries before they reached their destination. Learning more about one another, as they filled in the silent gaps with stories of past events, making fun of Kouen (some subtle and some not so much ways), sharing past events (nothing that would lead to a grim silence or awkward distance) but that drew them closer; they spoke of their love of books, the foods they enjoyed and what they preferred to leave on the side of their plate, the kind of music and instruments that caught their interest, the time of day they would rather be in bed than anywhere else and so on. It was nothing but basic small talk you would make with a stranger in hopes of having a friend at the end of the day. The walk was longer than expected, but not nearly long enough, because Sakura then found herself standing in front of a familiar door. Most of the doors looked the same, but this one was definitely the door to the guest room she had been placed in.
"Is he in there?" Sakura asked in a wary tone
Koumei nodded, "Do not worry, Kouen's not known for being unnecessarily violent; in fact, he'll be rather calm as he scolds you."
"Yeah, I make no promise to return the favour," Sakura said before opening the door and glancing back at Koumei, who waved before he turned to leave.
Kouen was standing in the centre of the room, looking right at Sakura. His expression was so calm that at a glance, you wouldn't think he was mad, but Sakura could tell in his eyes, and there was a frown that began to form ever so slightly when he saw her walk in.
With a nonchalant smiled Sakura crossed her arms and stood a few paces in front of Kouen. "So, how was the rest of your day, prince?"
"Do you think this is funny?"
Sakura looked at him, deciding to play coy. "Whatever do you mean?"
Kouen did not appear amused in the slightest. "You were supposed to wait in the library till I sent someone to escort you back to your room, and instead I hear you've been parading around the palace on your own?"
Though he appeared to be externally passive, she could practically see the deadly aura radiating off of him, and it was directed at her.
"Uh….wandering around about, and I didn't really draw any attention-
"You were spotted on the roof." Kouen began making Sakura wince, "Then, apparently, picked up by my aunt."
Sakura rubbed the back of her head, apparently the palace walls had eyes and ears.
"Yup, that's pretty much what happened."
Kouen then frowned at her, "Do not do that again."
"Why the concern?" Sakura asked. It wasn't as if she couldn't protect herself, and yes, while this palace was basically a city, she would be able to navigate eventually.
Kouen didn't answer and left the room without a glance back.
..
..
Sakura spent a week and a half in the Kou Empire, in the Imperial palace of all places, and by now, half the palace was aware of her presence, but no one bothered her. She didn't interact with anyone like on the first day, in fact, she didn't see them since the first day, not Gyokuen, not her two youngest children, Hakuei and Hakuryuu, she'd catch a glimpse of her two eldest sons though, since they'd be training around the same time she and Kouen headed out for their morning training.
There'd be a time when she'd feel eyes trailing on her till she turned the next corner with Kouen, but didn't dwell on that too much.
Then they went to the library, where Kouen would ask her questions about her travels. Kouen also said that he would start helping him translate scrolls since she could understand the Torran language.
"Most of these scrolls need to be deciphered before you can even translate them," Sakura told him, looking through the scrolls.
"I don't expect it to be done overnight," Kouen said before he began deciphering one of the scrolls while Sakura worked on another.
Alma Torran...Ill Illah, the creator of Alma Torran…..several....species. Established…prosperous society….population increase.................border...fighting.....war. Stronger species destroyed weaker species...…humans.

"It's no good," Sakura said, moving back and rubbing her eyes to remove the blurry vision that had come from squinting at the words for so long.
"What is it?" Kouen asked
"I can't translate anything else, and the scroll stops just here; the rest of the letters are so worn out I can't even make them out anymore."
Kouen narrowed his eyes at her and walked over to where she was sitting with the scroll. "You've finished that scroll?"
"I couldn't actually make out everything, there are barely any words-
"We're done for today." Kouen said, taking the scroll Sakura had been working on and everything she had translated, Kouen's eyes were fixated on the transcriptions, and she could've sworn she heard him say, 'to finish it so quickly. He seemed surprised, and it made her wonder how long it took to finish scrolls like this.
..
..
"And instead of side-stepping, you push all your weight to spin you right around so you counter instead," Sakura explained, manoeuvring her body to demonstrate, lifting her one leg into the air, then planting it down to spin slowly.
Teaching Kouen martial arts was what she considered to be one of her enjoyable activities for the day.
"That seems simple enough," Kouen stated before attempting the move himself-and failing.
"You have to run towards your opponent and spin with the same momentum; you don't have time to stop and think about it."
"Again," Kouen said, stepping back before charging at her. Sakura remained stationary as Kouen came towards him. He came close, he tried that spin again, but every time it came to it, he just ended up stopping too soon, only managing to turn halfway or missing the counter that was supposed to come after.
A dozen times later, and he still hadn't managed the 'simple' move, which gave Sakura a bit of satisfaction since every time Kouen mastered the moves she showed him, he would usually have this sense of superiority that irritated her, or he'd comment on how he had always been able to pick up on simplistic marital arts skills.
Sakura had to hold back her laugh when Kouen actually fell over his own feet. She crouched down and said, "You put a little too much spin there and your balance…"
Kouen didn't respond and just stared at her with that same passive expression she had been seeing every day for nearly two weeks.
"Let's try that again."
Kouen got up from the ground while Sakura stood in front of him. "The trick is to twist your upper body first and then lower, that way you maintain control and balance of your body and only use one foot to spin, not both, so you won't fall. Now again."
Backing up a few steps, Sakura gestured for Kouen to attack, which he did. When he was mere inches away from colliding his body with hers, he spun on his heel, twisting his way beside Sakura and then raising his leg to attack, which she herself blocked by turning her own body around and using her arms to protect her side.
Though finished, the two held their position. Sakura smirked, "Not bad."
"Hm," It sounded like a sound of satisfaction as Kouen withdrew and then Sakura.
..
..
That morning, Sakura wasn't taken to her usual training spot with Kouen; she didn't see the two princes sparring that morning because they never took the turn. He took her to the furthest end of the palace, near the outskirts.
"You want us to what now?" Sakura asked, disbelief clear on her face as she secretly hoped she had not heard Kouen correctly.
"We are going to spar using our djinns today."
"You are insane."
That statement was more than enough to form a frown on Kouen's commonly expressionless face.
"Is there a problem?"
Sakura coughed before folding her arms as she often did when readying to have a heated argument. "Um, well, for one, using a metal vessel is extremely dangerous in enclosed areas, and in case you haven't noticed, we aren't exactly in the best environment to use our djinns."
She gestured to the palace buildings only a few metres away. Even if they were at a great distance, a djinn's power could reach over vast areas; they would still run the risk of endangering lives, a djinns power was not something to take lightly.
"We will only use our weapons, no full body equips, if that will calm your paranoia."
"It will not," Sakura replied bluntly.
"It makes no difference to me," Kouen said, drawing his hand into the air. A star appeared above, and Sakura realised he was about to attack her. "Because I always get what I want."
'Oh crap.' Sakura's sweat dropped as she watched a large chunk of earth rise and move Kouen's head. She could see the roots coming out of the soil as it was held in the air.
'M-My king…' Stolas began nervously, 'Perhaps you should-
"DUCK," Gaap yelled
Sakura threw her entire body to one side, skidding across the grass as she avoided the clump of earth, watching it roll and smash into the wall. Now she knew why Kouen took them to such a remote area. He predicted that there would be damage, but she wondered if he considered the level of damage they were capable of.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Sakura yelled back at him.
"Fight back," Sakura knew by that tone it was an order. Kouen flung another lump of soil her way, but she stood her ground and jumped into the air before drawing back and delivering a powerful punch that reduced the earth to rubble.
"Would you cut it-
Sakura felt the earth beneath her shatter like glass, forcing her to take to higher ground, which was why she ran up the wall of the building and landed on the roof, though she was far from being on equal ground with Kouen.
'What was that?'
"Gravity magic, best be careful," Gaap told her in such a casual tone. Sakura was irked.
'Your uncanny ability for stating the obvious is really starting to annoy me, Gaap!'
The back and forth went on for a while. Kouen would use his power to aim clumps of earth at her, and Sakura would destroy them with her chakra punches, but it seemed that this dance was getting boring for both of them.
"Aren't you tired yet!?" Sakura yelled, looking at the destroyed courtyard. She hoped the gardener was going to be paid overtime for this. There was barely a decent patch of grass aside from where Kouen was standing. The rest were littering the area, and the smell of dirt was thick in the air.
"Dwell in my body, Agares!"
Sakura stared at Kouen as he began transforming with only one thought in mind: 'Crap.'
Kouen emerged in the same djinn equip as before when Sakura had first seen him; she honestly thought he looked like a lion due to his hair, and despite his childlike appearance physically, when she looked at his face, she saw a kind of maturity you wouldn't see in most adults till they were out of their prime.
Kouen flew into the air, looking down at Sakura. He held out his hand, and the pointed star appeared. The ground shook, at first a slight tremble, and then it felt like a full on earth quake and then a big shadow loomed over her.
Sakura's jaw dropped when she saw the colossal piece of earth that had lifted into the air and began shifting, morphing to form sharp jagged points.
'He is not seriously going to-
Sakura continued to stare wide-eyed at Kouen "Don't tell me you're actually thinking of…..T-That thing will destroy the entire palace!"
Kouen kept his hand raised above "AUG AL-HAZARD"
Just as he threw his hand down ready to attack-
"KHILAF NAR"
Kouen's attack literally burst into black flames and disintegrated before hitting the ground, leaving nothing behind.
Despite his attack failing Kouen had a big smirk on his face as her turned around to look at her enraged Sakura; in full djinn equip and glaring at him with all her might.
"In the end I was right…." Kouen trailed "I always get what I want."
Those were the last words to leave Kouen's mouth before he felt hard pressure against the side of his face that sent him flying through the air and skidding across the palace grounds until he crashed on the outside of the palace walls into the open area surrounding it.
Sakura held up her fist she used to send Kouen through the air, she felt a swell of….giddiness pass through her as she watched him pick himself up from the rubble.
"That was-
Quicker than an arrow, Sakura planted her foot in Kouen's stomach, she saw him cough blood as she made contact but she was far from finished. Reaching out with her talons Sakura grabbed Kouen by his hair and drew her knee up to his chin watching him rise into the air and then spun around before delivering another powerful kick that sent him flying further across the land.
To say that Kouen was surprised by Sakura's sudden outburst was an understatement, the girl was definitely strong. Before Sakura could attack him again, Kouen managed to lift slightly from the ground so that they were now both in the air before they started exchanging blows, punches and kicks, each one countering the other but Sakura had a lot more power behind her attacks.
And it was beginning to show.
Kouen winced as he used his arm to block another one of Sakura's kicks, he had observed the girls strength in the dungeon the first time they met but to see and actually experience and feel this power was a vast difference he hadn't predicted.
Sakura felt like she was experiencing an adrenaline rush that would never end, excitement coursed through her as she took in a kind of pleasure fighting and without a doubt beating Kouen. Her attacks weren't even weakening as time passed.
Kouen finally managed to put some distance between him and Sakura so that they were now having a standoff, facing one another, waiting for any kind of strain, hesitance, any sign of weakness that would give them a chance to strike.
"So you can fight."
"You knew I could, you've seen me."
"Not like this," Kouen stated
Charging at Kouen, he readied himself for her attacking but she vanished at the last second and materialised just as quickly from behind him before hitting him hard with a ball of her black flames, she heard the sizzling when his skin made contact.
Her attacks became less sharp but far more deadly, Kouen was barely able to avoid the flames Sakura sent in his direction. She created three dragon heads and sent them chasing after Kouen to surround him in all directions before there was an explosion marking impact.
When the smoke cleared she could see the attempt Kouen had made to defend himself by making an earth barrier but her flames were too strong and it had crumbled. Kouen looked like he was barely keeping consciousness now.
"I win." Sakura said before delivering the final blow.
….
….
….
….
When Kouen opened his eyes, he was in a dimly lit room, when he looked further at all the different shades of red and extravagant furniture and décor he realised he was in his room. As he attempted to sit up, he found that his entire body was stiff, aching everywhere and then he finally felt the wrappings on his arms, legs, chest and head. Then he started to recall his recent turns of events until he finally pinned his thoughts on a certain pink-haired girl.
"Nhgh…"
He heard a light snoring coming somewhere on the floor and peered over his bed to see said girl curled up at the end of his bed, her knees tucked up to her chin, lying on a tarp with a blanket. Before he could even draw in questions his brother entered giving a soft chuckle.
"Finally awake."
Kouen gave his brother blank stare as Koumei walked to the other side of his bed and looked over at Sakura who was still sleeping.
"That was quite a show the two of you put on, the whole palace was watching. Some people were so scared they couldn't move even after the noise stopped." Koumei told him
"And after the battle."
Koumei knew his brother wasn't asking what happened to the speculators "Well, I rushed out along with Hakuyuu and Hakuren who I'm guessing were also curious about the outcome of the fight. When we found you two, you were passed out. She was healing your injuries."
Kouen's eyes automatically drew back to Sakura.
"We brought you back to the palace where she continued to heal you throughout the night and I know that because I remained with you the entire first night as well."
"The first night?"
"You were unconscious for three days." Koumei stated "Of course I had to leave to calm down father and everyone else who wanted to remove your little guests head from her shoulders. There's still a bit of a debate about that though."
"How was she allowed to sleep in my room?"
Koumei's expression seemed to lighten, as if he had an inside joke "Well, when the servants and guards told her she wasn't allowed to stay; she asked which one of them proposed to keep her out? You could only imagine their reaction…."
"Is that all?" Kouen was sure he knew the answer but he wanted to confirm just in case. You could never be too careful when dealing with matters like these.
"That's all." Koumei said as if ushering an unspoken promise.
"I have some people I would like to avoid right now, so if you'll excuse me nii-san," Koumei said with a slight bow before making his way towards the door. He stopped to look over his shoulder "Oh, and do try and take it easy on the poor girl."
With that, Koumei closed the door, satisfied.
As Sakura's eyes opened, she almost forgot, as she did every time she woke up, where she was. She craned her neck to the side, feeling that typical pain she got every time she woke up since she had moved to the prince's chambers, and on the floor. She'd have to check on Kouen's bandages today and determine whether or not his condition was improving. So far, he appeared to be getting better by the day, but she was also cautious.
"Do you know you snore?"
Sakura's head snapped to the side where the bed was, and she saw Kouen sitting up, staring blankly at a scroll. In that instant, seeing him awake, Sakura's entire form visibly relaxed, and she let out a small breath before standing up slowly.
"You're awake."
"And you're stating the obvious."
Kouen gestured to the tray of untouched food on one of the nightstands beside his bed. "It's still warm."
Sakura didn't argue before taking the tray and sitting on the chair she had placed near the bed. She ate silently and soon finished everything on the plate, not realising how hungry she really was, never having a proper meal since she began treating Kouen. It was always like this for her whenever she worked; it was as if the entire idea of having someone's life in your hands suppressed your appetite until you'd successfully saved them, and only after would hunger hit you. Sakura never wanted to imagine what might happen to her appetite if one day she was unable to save a life, but it hasn't come to that-not yet.
"Are you feeling any pain?" she finally asked.
"Not any that isn't expected,"
She began looking around for the medical supplies she had put on the nightstand where the tray now sat. Kouen grunted and then gestured with his head to the desk where everything had been placed. After gathering the bandages, taking her time to collect her thoughts and calm her nerves, she turned around to face Kouen in the centre of the bed.
Every step she made was a cautious one until she finally reached the side of his bed, just standing, waiting. Putting the scroll beside him, Kouen looked at Sakura, making her visibly shiver.
"Are you going to change my bandages or just stand there drowning in your own thoughts?"
Sakura snapped out of her anxious state and glared at him. "I see three days of unconsciousness didn't do much to fix that demanding attitude. Move to this side."
Manoeuvring to the end of the bed, legs hanging on the edge of the bed, Kouen sat still while Sakura carefully started unwrapping his bandages, as they came off he saw the light blood splatters but when he looked at his body where the wounds were supposed to still be fresh as the day he received them he found that new tissue was already formed and the wounds were all closed, he didn't get that stiff feeling of thread in his skin from stitches either. There were also no wounds in certain areas; there were bandages, but he knew those were for whatever he had broken during his fight and fall, like his ribs.
As Sakura placed her hands over his wounds, he felt as if there was a soothing flow of cold water being poured over his burning pain, all within. Every aching muscle, every burning flesh wound, began to disperse as Sakura's hands ran above his body, never making contact.
Sakura withdrew her hands and then rewrapped Kouen in fresh bandages. "It won't be too long before you're fully recovered."
"That seems highly implausible."
"Not if I keep healing you."
"You've made yourself rather comfortable, I see," Kouen's eyes travelled to the side of the room where her makeshift bed was. Sakura looked down, embarrassment washing over her. She wished he hadn't chosen to call her on that.
"My rooms are in a different building."
Sakura hoped that would be enough information for Kouen to understand that she didn't want to have constantly be running up and down to check on him now that she finally knew where his room was and that the best option would be to stay in his room where she could monitor his recovery buts he didn't tell him this because she didn't want to sound as if she cared. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction.
"There are other empty rooms in this building."
Sakura grumbled, "Glad to see you're feeling better."
