Thank you all for the reviews! I just wanted to say that I might not reply to all your reviews so don't get mad at me. -_-'

Hope you like this chapter! I'm sorry if you all thought that Sasuke was too mean in the earlier one. xD

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I'm just a student who writes fan fiction…

"Hn." 'Finally, it's almost over. Soon it will all be done' He thought. He was relieved that he's almost finished with all of this trouble, as he was never good at such things, anyway. "And one last thing…"

He reached his hand into his pocket and by the looks of it; he was trying to take something out. Sakura had no idea what he was up to. 'Maybe it is a marriage certificate to sign right here on the spot!' She thought inwardly, 'No…even he wouldn't do that!'

He finally found what he seemed to be looking for in his pocket. He revealed a midnight-blue velvet box. As soon as he opened it, the said girl gasped. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It just seemed so unreal!

The object held in front of her seemed to be a timelessly beautiful engagement ring. It had a silver band with a perfect sized emerald encrusted in the middle with little diamonds studded on both its sides. It was a million times better than Sakura had ever imagined or dreamt of.

He decided for himself that he did not have the patience for the girl to come out of her trance, so he casually just slipped it onto her ring finger. He noticed how she adored it and was dead sure that she would question him about it any minute now. Three…two…one…

"Sasuke-kun!" She exclaimed, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. She still couldn't come to believing that he was doing all of this! "You..I…It's beautiful!—I don't know what to say…I…"She trailed off. Instinctively, she took two steps forward and spread her arms to embrace him in a hug.

He instantly understood what she was about to do so he simply sidestepped to avoid her. "Sakura, don't get any ideas. It is simply a family tradition passed on by my mother. And remember the terms."

With those words, she was brought back to earth and with it: realization. 'Oh yeah, how could I forget? No contact.' She just shook that thought away quickly and stepped back.

"Even though it is just a traditional ring, thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!" She exclaimed, having completely forgotten about the earlier incident. "You know Sasuke-kun, it's really sweet that you even bothered to give it to me. Thank you again." She finished with a gentle smile, directing her joyous gaze at him.

"Whatever." He replied, a tiny, microscopic blush appearing on his cheeks. He immediately looked away hoping that it would go unnoticed by the girl. He didn't really like the fact that he was just called 'sweet' by her. Oh, but she didn't need sharp eyes to notice it, so she let out a cute little giggle.

"The ceremony will take place next week in the Uchiha compound. You are to shift into the Uchiha mansion before that. I want only the closest of friends invited. Got it? So there's not much to do. I think I'll be able to get everything executed." He said in his usual monotone voice, cutting away from the earlier casual and friendly tone.

"I understand all that but isn't next week too soon? We won't be able to get everything going! There's the food, dress, invitations, decorations and so much more! It's a wedding for heaven's sake Sasuke-kun!" She argued. She didn't know what was really up to him lately. First the sudden proposal, then the ring and now the extra-fast wedding! 'I'm sure I'll be busy the whole damn week working day and night if the wedding's next week!'

"I told you, I'll have everything under control. No complains or suggestions. It was an order. If you have any more questions, you know where to find me" He said. She had to get one thing straight, from now on, she should get that he was in charge.

With that said, more like stated, he walked off and left her at the bridge. Her jaw dropped open and eyes widened. "How could he just say all those unreasonable things and then dare to walk off and say something like 'these are my contact details

!' Jerk." She said out loud, pouting cutely while watching him walk away.

"I heard that, Sakura." He called out while turning to face her with a smirk. With that said, he walked away coolly.

She blushed slightly due to her little mistake. She crossed her arms; lips still formed in a pout, all like a stubborn child. "Hmph." She replied and turned her back too. They both started going their separate ways.

Just then, she remembered something, something dreaded: breaking the big news to her friends. How would they react? What would they think? She didn't know because even the first time when she heard him say the startling decision of marrying her, she was blank and didn't know what on earth to think about it.

"Sasuke-kun w-wait up" She called out. She wheeled around and started running towards the said man. She finally caught up to him. He glanced at her and quirked an eyebrow, questioning silently with actions what the matter was.

She was huffing a little. When she caught her breath again, she said. "Look, I want to…more like we should tell everyone about us. They have a right to know, at least team 7, we should definitely tell them together now or sometime really soon."

He took a few seconds to think. Maybe she was right; otherwise, if Naruto received the wedding invitation before being told personally, he would probably march up to Sasuke that moment and question him like crazy. He would think that he would have either manipulated his Sakura-chan in accepting or it is just a cheap, stupid trick.

He didn't like the sound of any. He sighed lightly and nodded his head in approval and motioned the girl to walk with him so that they could talk to their team right now. She smiled again. She personally didn't think he would agree to her decision. 'Looks like life with him might not be so harsh, judging by the way he is now.' She thought.

And so they both walked peacefully through the semi-crowded street. From the corner of her eye, she could see that some of Sasuke's fan girls were scowling at her. Noticing this, a proud smile crept up to her lips.

'This is going to be fun! I can't wait to see their ugly faces when they hear that I'm getting married to their Sasuke-kun!' She thought, a proud smile never once leaving her face.

"Thanks for the ramen Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said with his usual grin plastered across his face.

"Naruto wait!" Kakashi said and sighed. He certainly did not want to pay the price of eight bowls of ramen, excluding Sai's and his own. When will that boy ever learn?

Naruto was all set to run out of the Ichiraku Ramen Shop but halted as he saw his other two teammates cum best friends arriving together. "Oh, hey both of you! Where were you both huh? We waited for you but got impatient and decided to start eating." He explained.

"Umm…I, actually, we need to tell you, or rather all of you, something. How about now?" Sakura said nervously. She wasn't sure how they were going to react, especially Naruto, and that very fact was killing her!

"Ok! Whatever you say…I'm really curious…" He replied. He was completely clueless. What could Sasuke and Sakura, together want to tell him? As far as he knew, they weren't even like the bestest of friends either. But he was pretty sure of one thing; it had to be either very good or very bad news. He just felt so, judging by their expressions.

The three of them went back into the popular ramen shop and met up with Sai and Kakashi. "Hey both of you. I'm sure you would like some lunch. You are really late, we waited." Their ex-sensei said looking up from his perverted orange novel. Sai also looked up at them and gave them one of his fake smiles.

"We both need to tell you all something important so please just sit down." Sakura said. They all were again sitting down in the food joint. She ordered some ramen for herself and Sasuke since they hadn't eaten yet and truthfully, she was really hungry, making her stomach feel even hollower.

"Oh? Then hurry up and just say it." Said Kakashi.

"Yeah, umm…you see…" Sakura started. "We thought about it, planned a bit, and want-"

"Hurry up, Sakura," Sasuke muttered. She just gave him a weak look as if saying 'I need your help'. He understood and his impatience kicking in (he didn't have patience for such petty matters which could be done faster if tried) he spoke, "We're engaged and getting married around next week." He bluntly stated, with not a hint of hesitance.

She jumped a little at his choice words. Here she was struggling to get something out of her mouth while he stated everything so, so simply! But, she was glad he was the one who said it. She couldn't do a better job herself so she gave him an appreciative glance quickly.

For Naruto, the room suddenly started to shrink. It felt as though the room was full of people and the heat level was rising rapidly in his body. ' it! Not at all…how could his two best friends of all time, out of nowhere decide to get married. He was two hundred percent sure that they hadn't dated ever, unless they hid it so well that it seemed as though romantic relationship between them didn't even exist! He never saw them chat or laugh together like every couple in love should. The blonde was really hit by the sudden news and change of situation.

Kakashi was also startled really badly by the announcement. He, like Naruto, never caught them together either and he thought that he was usually good at catching on to such things, like for instance; he was the first to find out about Asuma and Kurenai. But being the smarter one, their plan dawned upon him and he understood what all of this was really about- resurrection. He was truly disappointed at both his students.

Sakura, because she accepted Sasuke's offer in the first place instead of taking some time off, thinking and then finally realize how horrible life would be and then reject. Sasuke, because he even asked his innocent student Sakura to help him in the challenging task and use her in such a cruel way like. He was taking advantage of her. This is what went on in his mind. Later, he thought he should have a little chat with both of them, if he gets the time and opportunity.

Sai was surprised too. He had read about marriage and tried to about love too in guide books but how much could they actually help him? So, since he didn't know how to really react, he threw the couple one of his fake smiles again. "That's surprising actually…wow, ugly and the bastard getting married." He said, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

Sakura didn't react to his remark and Sasuke just scowled at him. She was really waiting for Naruto and Kakashi's actions. So far, it didn't look very happy. Sasuke also waited patiently but still showing no signs of eagerness, nervousness or anything. He just wore his usual bored face.

"That's…unexpected…but good to hear never the less." Kakashi said, trying to look like he approved of it. He did succeed. A smile appeared on Sakura's nervous face. She let out a breath of relief. 'One down, one to go.' She thought. She was happy that at least he approved. She looked at Naruto with anxiety, hoping he would be fine with it all, though that should be quite impossible to happen at least in the beginning.

"How?…When?…What?" The blonde mumbled. Then a vein in his temple started twitching. "TEME! YOU MUST HAVE SOMEHOW GOT SAKURA-CHAN INTO THIS MESS! HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU BOTH, HUH?" He growled. "ANSWER ME!!!" He went to grab Sasuke by the collar but Sakura came in the way.

"Naruto, please calm down!" She said quickly and put him back on his seat. "We decided it together, ok? He didn't force me, I thought about it myself! I know it's sudden but we have our reasons and seeing the situation, I need all of your help to get us through this. Please understand!" She pleaded. She was worried though she did expect something like this.

Naruto calmed down a little but still could not completely penetrate it through his head. It was going to be hard but he knew they could do whatever they wanted with their lives and that he could just try and help them. He had to take it positively.

"Are you sure?" He said, looking from Sasuke to Sakura. "It…it's just really damn hard! How could you b-both want to get married in such short time? Even I know it's no joke! I hope you thought about it extremely well…."

"We're sure." Sakura said with a reassuring smile. Sasuke just nodded. He knew she would be able to calm everyone down and make them understand better than he ever could. Personally, he knew he couldn't do it at all, not even a bit.

"Y-ye-yeah, sure" Naruto said weakly. He still wasn't very sure of it all. He wasn't sure of his best friend, Sasuke. As far as he knew him, he hadn't been very loving and he was positive that he would tell him if he possessed feelings for her, the way he did in the past…

Sakura again breathed out the breath she had been holding for so long. She felt as if a heavy burden was lifted off of her shoulder. 'Ahh…relief' She thought to herself with a peaceful smile.

"But…just remember one thing." The blond said seriously (didn't see that coming, huh?) "If I find the teme EVER mistreating you, I will personally KILL HIM, and I'm DEAD SERIOUS, so believe it!" He finished in a threatening voice.

"Yeah, whatever." Sasuke snorted with a smirk. Sakura nudged him painfully. He just ignored it. Like he cares. "Yeah Naruto, you do that." She said while looking at the raven-haired man, who happened to be her fiancé. After that, she gave Naruto one of her signature kind smiles. 'Everything will be fine, Naruto. I won't let him hurt me and make me cry. It's a promise.' She thought.

That's the end of another chapter! How was it? See, I added small, cute little Sasusaku moments for the people who thought Sasuke was too mean. That's how much I appreciate everything you all do for me!

And I have a question for you all…Do you want to see Sakura moving in with him or just skip to the mini-wedding?
