I don't own Naruto okay?

"Oh Sasuke-kun my love, tomorrow is your 20th birthday!" Sakura said as she noticed that it was July 22nd "What do you want me to get for you? No wait… I have an idea that you will love…" Sakura giggled as she hugged Sasuke. Once Sakura mentioned his birthday, he widened his eyes in shock at a memory he forgot about from years before.

"My 20th birthday!!!! Oh god…Hinata is going to be 20 this year as well!" Sasuke said as he started to walk around in a panic. "How could I forget!? I'm such an idiot!" He said as he smacked himself on the forehead.

"Sasuke, what's going on? Why did you just call yourself an idiot?" Sakura asked as she stared at him and wondered what could make Sasuke act like this. Sasuke took a breath and turned to Sakura and told her what he had forgotten over the years.

"When I was 9 my father arranged a marriage with Hinata's father between Hinata and I that would take place on her 20th birthday. When you mentioned my 20th, it all came back to me. I had completely forgotten until now. No one mentioned it to me mainly due to…." And Sasuke trailed off. Sakura looked and him nodded and wrapped her arms around him. She knew he was mentioning the Uchiha massacre.

"Well is there any way to change it? I mean why is arranged between you and Hinata of all people?" Sakura asked.

"The Hyuuga and Uchiha clans planed this for generations to combine the power of the Sharingan and Byakugan." Sasuke said simply.

"That's stupid. You know I love you Sasuke-kun. I'm glad you came back. I guess Naruto and Kakashi-sensei's words really helped."

Sasuke smiled and looked out a nearby window. The words that Naruto and Kakashi told him when he first left the village did give him some things to think about as he headed to Orochimaru when he left the village. At the time however, he was determined never to go back until he killed Itachi. However a thought unlike him came to him and made him think about what he was doing just before he got to the Sound Village and to Orochimaru. He realized something that changed his mind. I would be no better than Itachi. And if I leave, will I still be able to restore the Uchiha clan? Even though he was only 12 he knew that he was most likely the one that would have to restore the clan. Back in Kohona, he did not receive warm accolades upon his return. There was a lot of trouble in trying to get him back and there was some bitterness.

Naruto and Sakura were ecstatic that he came back. They were a little bitter about the fact as well but they were more than willing to be friends again. Then Naruto left to train with Jiraiya, which left Sasuke and Sakura in Team 7. During this time they trained to improve their skills and abilities. Since Naruto was not in the way, they built upon their friendship. Sasuke started to grow warmer but he still craved revenge on Itachi.

Although his desire for revenge was not satisfied by returning to the village, the opportunity presented itself when the Akatsuki was trying to capture the jinchuurikis of the Tailed Beasts. Naruto was taken back to Kohona because of this. Sasuke was delighted to see Naruto return but was envious of the fact that one of the legendary Sennin was training him while Kakashi trained Sasuke. Soon afterwards, the Akatsuki took to capturing the jinchuurikis and capturing Gaara. Lady Tsunade then sent out the new and improved Team Kakashi after the Akatsuki. The old rivalry began when Naruto found that Sasuke was a Chunin and he wasn't. It was this hunting of the Akatsuki that lead Sasuke to being able to kill Itachi.

Now with his desire for revenge fulfilled, he started a relationship with Sakura. She was always there for him and knew what he needed. They first started dating when Sakura became a Joinin and skilled Medic-nin. Sasuke looked up at Sakura not wanting to break her hear but yet had to tell her the fact that a deal of this magnitude made with the Hyuugas could not be broken. "I'm afraid not. You healed my heart Sakura-chan but I think yours is the hurt one now. This is a deal made with the Hyuugas. They want me and Hinata to have a Sharing-Byakugan child and just be together for the sake of the village. I don't know if it can be broken. Now that I'm the only Uchiha left, the bargain is all under Hyuuga Hiashi's watch. He will not be swayed." Sasuke said hiding the tear he had in his eyes at the fact he would have to break up with the woman he loved most in life and marry a girl that barely knew him in a loveless marriage just to create children with a new and more powerful kind of ocular jutsu.

"SASUKE UCHIHA!!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled as she smacked him and shook him back and forth. She knew that this wasn't Sasuke at all and that he needed to be reminded of who he was. "Is this like you? The Sasuke I know doesn't quit, doesn't give in, never lets the ones he cares about go! Maybe you want to be with Hinata and you don't have the balls to tell me!" Sakura was more assertive after being trained with Tsunade as her mentor.

"You are so naïve Sakura! This is a big thing! It is not like I borrowed some money from Hinata, she's my arranged fiancée!" Sasuke yelled as the stress was taking over him. "Technically I have been engaged to her since I was 9. You wouldn't understand Sakura. You are from an average family that has no importance in Kohona, no offence. Hyuuga Hiashi is going to be furious when he finds out about you." Sasuke took a breath to calm down and turned to her. "I love you too much. I just want to find some way around this."

Sakura didn't know what to say to calm down Sasuke but she remembered Naruto and Hinata. "Well this will be bad for Naruto too."

"What about him?" Sasuke asked.

"He and Hinata are dating now. Also her father is clueless about them being together. I would imagine she would be constantly reminded of this. Hyuuga Hiashi wouldn't forget about an arrangement of marriage to Hinata."

(At Naruto's Apartment)

Hinata had forgotten about her engagement to Sasuke too because after the Uchiha massacre, Hiashi refused to admit Hinata would have to marry a violent Uchiha. That day Hinata walked over to Naruto's apartment to meet up for tea that day. Ever since Naruto asked her out a year ago she was ecstatic. Also it helped to develop a mischievous side of her, helped along by the fact she lived on her own now. She blushed and knocked on the door. "Just a minute!" Naruto yelled as Hinata giggled. He opened the door sopping wet with a towel around his waist.

"Oh Naruto-kun you little fox." Hinata teased when she saw him.

"Oh Hinata…hi!'' Naruto blushed as Hinata took that as her invitation to come inside.

"It's nothing Naruto-kun. Remember our date the other day?" Hinata smiled. Naruto closed his eyes and smiled at the memory and went to putting his clothes on. "We have to go see my sister as she is in the finals of the chuinin exams this weekend. I promised Hanabi I would."

"That's nice. Hanabi seems pretty talented, not as talented as you of course, but still."Naruto said as he poured her some tea. She took the cup, smiled, and put it up to her lips. It was hot so she blew on it and took a sip.

"Thank you Naruto." Hinata blushed. Even though she was a little more out of her shell than before, Naruto always made her blush. "Rumor has it that Lady Tsunade is thinking of retiring from the title of Hokage here soon. Guess who she is thinking of having take over after her." Hinata teased."

"You know something I don't. It had better not be Sasuke." Naruto said

"Nope. It's you." Hinata smiled with a wink.

"WHO TOLD YOU!!!!!???????" Naruto yelled with excitement. All his dreams were coming true right in front of him.

"Sakura. She works close to Lady Tsunade remember?" Hinata said.

Hinata was walking early to the Ninja Academy to meet with the squad of Geinin she was assigned and also to meet Naruto and his squad as well. Sakura was walking along to the hospital when she saw Hinata.

"So Hinata how are you?" Sakura asked as she waved at Hinata

"Fine." Hinata said waving back at her. As she grew she became more friendly and open.

"You and Naruto are dating now correct?" Sakura said as she noticed a restaurant. "Do you have time for some sweet dumplings?"

"Some." Hinata said as they sat down. "Yeah Naruto and I are dating." Hinata said answering Hinata's question.

"Thought so, you two seemed really close lately. Anyway, Lady Tsunade and I were talking and she's talking about stepping down as Hokage." Sakura said as the dumplings were served. "She's thinking of having Naruto replace her."

"Wow." Hinata said as she widened her eyes.

Back at Naruto's apartment Naruto was dancing and jumping around at the news. He regained composure and looked at Hinata. "Now father will not object to us being together. Somehow I think he knew…"

"I've been told that it was written all over your face. How I didn't see it, is beyond me." Naruto said. "But still… Wow. Granny Tsunade thinks I should be Hokage! And you father won't be able to object as I'd be Hokage! I say a Hokage is better for my little Hinata than someone like Sasuke. Speaking of him tomorrow is his birthday and I told Sakura I'd be there. Want to come?"

"Sure Naruto-kun. I know how much he means to you as a friend and still rival." Hinata said. The next day they went from Naruto apartment to the apartment that Sakura shared with Sasuke. Once there Naruto knocked on the door and Sakura opened it." Hello Naruto! Hello Hinata! Come on in. Sasuke, Naruto and Hinata are here!" She yelled as she led them in.

"How's it going? Granny Tsunade wants me to be Hokage!" Naruto blurted out.

"I'm fine. It's nice that Lady Tsunade wants you to be Hokage." Sasuke said monotonously as he stared at Hinata looking at his future bride if nothing was done. "How is with you Hinata?"

"Oh I'm fine. Happy Birthday Sasuke-kun." Hinata said as he gave him a friendly hug that made Sasuke a little awkward. This was his arranged fiancé in love with his best friend. Later that day as they celebrated Sasuke's birthday and caught up a knock was heard on the door. "I'll get it." Sakura said as she turned from making Sasuke's favorite food, rice balls.

"Don't worry Sakura, I have it." Sasuke said as he got up and opened the door. He looked out and gulped as he saw Hinata's father. "Hello, how can I help you Hyuuga Hiashi?" he asked nervously, knowing what he was going to do and tell everyone. "Come in."

"FATHER!????" Hinata yelled in shock.

"Hello Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto and hello to you too Hinata." Hiashi said as he sighed. "Well your parents were to give you this on this day, but after the Uchiha massacre, this was returned to me and I had to do this. Seeing as today is your 20th birthday I am to give you a jade pendant of the Hyuuga clan family crest. It was given to your father when we arranged the marriage between you and Hinata. Hinata, you will get the Uchiha crest jade pendant when you come home. You see Sakura and Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke are engaged in an arranged marriage on Hinata's birthday to join the Hyuuga and Uchiha family eye jutsu abilities." Hiashi said as he looked sternly at Sakura and Naruto.
