"Ok you ready sweetheart" Shikamaru tightened his hand around Sakura's hoping that things wouldn't be as bad as he thought.

They walked into a meeting room where 10 of the main clan members were sitting and his parents on the end of the table. Both walked in finding two chairs waiting for them

"Well it took you two long enough to arrive."

"Sorry about our late absences. Shall we begin this conversation?" Shikamaru was not in the mood to be nice, he was only going to play the part of being a lazy ass so they wouldn't have a chance to get him riled up.

"As you have probably already guessed we do not except this and probably will not change your stubborn mind. However, maybe we can change her mind." Name-sama was the head of counsel surrounded by his peers. He glanced at Sakura ready to start his burns with the girl who had fallen in love with Sakura.

He began by stating everything he saw wrong with Sakura and why she was so imperfect for someone like Shikamaru; whether Shikamaru liked it or not, he was an asset to them. Once the head of counsel was done "commenting" to Sakura the rest of the counsel burst into conversation on how much they despised the girl in front of them and how much she deserved to never have existed in Shikamaru's life.

Shikamaru on the verge of exploding at all of them, stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder pushing him gently down.

"Gentleman. I know that you don't know me, nor care for me. But continuing with insult after insult over something you should have no right to is bullshit! I'm sick and tired of all of you thinking of me when none of you know shit about the situation nor care for, or about someone of your clan! You make me sick because I thought I was coming in here to have a civil conversation with civil people. But considering all of you think that I am so imperfect, maybe you're the one's that are imperfect huh! Maybe you should be considering that if you do not respect me, or Shikamaru for who we are, none of you should even be here because all of you are nothing to me. I was being respectful to you so I hope that all of you will respect me when I say that I will be talking my leave because now I'm starting to think that Shikamaru will end up just like all of you.

Shikamaru unsteadily took a drink of water, his hand shaking badly. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

So now, me and this baby will be saying goodbye to all of you and this little lifestyle you call the Nara Clan. Thank you for nothing!

Ppthsthths! Shikamaru spewed all the water he was drinking out on the table shocked at everything that had just occurred. The entire counsel, his parents, and himself were shocked, felt like they misheard and were completely unable to comprehend much of anything else.

Sakura slammed the door. She couldn't believe what she just said! She wasn't ready to tell any of them! She was waiting for the right moment, and it just slipped out!

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!" Sakura was quickly walking down the street trying to get as far away as possible. Until she bumped into her team, and Choji.

"Hey Sakura –chan, are you alright?" Naruto looked at her concerned.

Sakura gave a half smile, half worried glance at them before walking as quickly as possible away: head down, tail between her legs, trying not to look at anything or anyone.

Her team and Choji had never seen her like this and were a little dumbfounded as to what to do. Suddenly there was a flurry of people running past them like a monsoon was right behind them, running towards Sakura. (Her team and Choji were only watching with curiosity at the situation).

All Sakura heard was her name being called and a whole lot of people right behind her.

BAM! She was rammed against by a mob of people.

Shikamaru grabbed her face and looked her directly in the eye.

"Baby…is this true?" Right then, it was only Shikamaru and Sakura looking at each other with all the love in the world, and the people around them were only a buzz.

"Yes sweetheart, it's true." She looked at him guiltily hoping he wouldn't be too mad. Suddenly he hugged her tightly kissing the daylights out of her. When he let go, they were back in his apartment. They had escaped the mob and were finally alone with each other; he had teleported them away from all the craziness so that they could be together.
