Does anyone really think i own this? cause i'm pretty sure we all know i don't.


"I'm sorry, sakura, really I am, but as much as it breaks my heart to say it, there is nothing I can do. It was one of the specifications when the first hokage practically begged the prominent clans to move to Konohagakure that The Heirs Be given free reign and selection of the Shinobi and Kunoichi for mating purposes."

Tsunade did not like seeing her daughter this way, and if it were anything else she would have already ripped apart the vile, foul being that had caused such hysterics in her usually affable precious girl. But there were some things even the Hokage couldn't change, and ancient agreements were one of them. Damn her grandfathers' actions just had to come back and bite her in the butt, didn't they?

All she could do was hold her as she cried.


"There's NO WAY IN HELL were gonna let them get away with this!" Naruto yelled, smashing his fist on her kitchen table.

Sasuke Nodded in agreement and Sai flashed one of his more convincing smiles. Sakura reached over and picked up the wretched paper from the table, and perused its contents for a moment, before turning back to her company.

"You know, wasn't Neji-"Here she was interrupted with a loud cry of "THE BASTARD" "- Only recently saying something about being the only Male Hyuuga in the new generation?"

Sai pondered this.

"Now that I think on it, I to remember something along those lines coming from his treacherous mouth. Perhaps, Ugly, You are not only marrying Fate-boy but also some fat old Pig?"

The dining table snapped under Sasuke's grip at this.

Sakura Hit Both Sai and Sasuke over the back of the head, distractedly. Sasuke for breaking her table, and Sai for calling her that wretched Childhood nickname. She new he didn't mean it, but still!

" Ooh… this is bad, this is bad!" Naruto whined.

Sakura's eyes moved, almost as if they had a will of there own, towards the ring, still sitting on the kitchen counter. The Beautiful (and completely Expensive looking) Ring had not been moved since she'd received the scroll last night. She couldn't bare to touch it.

Did her loyalty to the village really outweigh her personal feelings? Could she stand being shackled to someone she'd never met, who was possibly twice her age? Neji was the least of her worries right now, at least she knew (and admittedly, got along quite well with before all this happened) him.

And that brought up another question! How come she had to marry two of them! The only reason she could think of for that was a marriage into the head family, where the soon to be clan leader was incapable of producing children. But, Neji had made it abundantly clear his hatred of the head family, as well the fact he was not a part of it, in his childhood angst days. Does that mean this "Hinata" (which, she thought was a rather strange name for any Hyuuga, let alone one in any position of power, or male) was the next clan head? But how could that be? Hiashi Never spoke of any offspring after his daughter was killed.

Her thoughts were spinning in circles. It just didn't make sense.

She sighed, and turned back to her three friends.

"I really don't want to dwell on this anymore. Let's just go buy a whole lot of junk food and watch stupid movies."

Naruto smiled, as did Sai, while a hint of one could be seen in the corner of Sasuke's mouth, and in the sparkle of his eyes.

As she grabbed her coat on the way out the door, she commented.

"Who knows? Maybe if I eat enough, I'll get fat and the Hyuuga won't want me anymore!"

The sounds of laughter rang through the night, and Sakura couldn't help but feel that maybe, just maybe she could get through this.


Hinata was walking aimlessly through town. Her almighty father had decreed that, until the wedding, and, for a year afterwards, neither herself nor Neji would be taking missions unless absolutely Necessary, giving them both much more time to Socialize.

Neji was off with his Genin team, and as the only people she'd ever associated with were all ANBU and out on missions, she had nothing better to do. She took a turn into the Shopping district and just like that, She was there.

Talking and laughing with her three constant companions, exiting an all-night convenience store loaded down with more junk food then Hinata had ever even seen, while the blonde was loudly imitating what appeared to be the cashier.

" Ooh, Sasuke-Kun! Why don't you and I… meet up, later?" He batted his eyelashes in some ridiculous way and Hinata Found it almost funny.

Had she grown up normal, would this boy have been someone she would have loved?

As the quartet continued to fool around in the street, Hinata began to notice things. Like the way The Uchiha's eyes kept darting to Her Fiancée's joyous face, or how the Artist Kept playfully poking her, or how the Blonde was blatantly ogling her.

She growled in a surprisingly good imitation of a rapid wolf, under her breath. They were coveting what was hers!

And yes, she was refusing to acknowledge Neji had any claim on her, at least until the wedding.

Sakura had always been hers, whether she knew it or not. And Hinata was possessive.

But that did not make her stupid. She knew what sort of reaction she would garner if she acted on her instincts and ripped apart those three wretched beings. So, forcing her ANBU cool back into play, she strode right by them, to go demolish some poor training field instead.

As she walked by, her eyes slid to the side of there own accord…

… And met emerald.
