Chapter 4 – What!?

...

I honestly didn't think that I would be asked, more like commanded, to get married especially by a complete stranger, who might in fact be married seeing as he has a baby.

"What!?" I questioned loudly, staring at the man's handsome face. I was possibly gaping like a fish too.

I noticed Naruto walking out of the men's room staring at me strangely, probably because I was gaping at a man. His face suddenly lit up and he almost toppled me to the floor with a hug. "Sakura-chan!"

"Hey Naruto, how is everything?" I decided to ignore the stranger for a second as I put my attention on Naruto, a friend I hadn't seen in a while.

"Great, actually" he grinned like a sly fox.

"And how's fatherhood treating you?" I questioned.

Naruto whined. "Hinata told you?"

"Wait, you two know each other?" Sasuke interrupted, feeling left out of the conversation.

"Didn't I tell you? This is Sakura-chan. Hinata and I have known her for forever." Naruto explained happily.

"Nice to meet you." I greeted him with a smile.

"This is Sasuke, my boss." Naruto told me.

"Wait! Naruto's boss, that means he's chief of the UPD, the Uchiha heir." my thoughts concluded. There was an awkward silence.

"Wait a minute, so your boss just asked me to marry him?" I asked Naruto a little bit confused.

"What!?" Naruto yelled "Teme, tell me you didn't?" Sasuke stared him dead on, not the least bit ashamed of himself. "How could you do that to Sakura-chan; she must be traumatized."

I turned my eyes away from Naruto and his dramatics towards the baby. "Does that mean this little guy is Daisuke?" I guessed.

Naruto grinned fully. "The one and only…so far." The blonde wiggled his eyebrows in suggestion. I whacked him on the arm.

"Can I hold him?"

"Sure." Sasuke said and handed the boy to me.

I wiped the little bit of drool from his mouth and giggled. "Aww, he's just adorable." I cooed "Can I keep him?"

Naruto shook his head violently. "You'll just have to make your own babies."

I stuck my tongue out at Naruto. "Usually that requires a party of two." I mentioned.

...

Sasuke watched on as Daisuke smiled and made weird, but cute, baby sounds as Sakura cooed and chatted with the small infant. "How does a woman make a baby stop crying in just one instant. She must be a miracle worker." He thought.

"You really asked her to marry you?" Naruto whispered, trying not to draw Sakura's attention.

"I think she's perfect for the job." Sasuke replied as he shoved his hands into his pockets watching Sakura play with Daisuke.

"Sorry Sasuke, but Sakura is off limits. I'm not letting you use her like that." Naruto told him sternly "She's important to Hinata and I. She also doesn't want a fake relationship."

Sasuke listened to what Naruto had to say and decided that a real relationship with this woman didn't sound half that bad. "What if it is a real relationship?"

Naruto quickly glanced at Sasuke with a confused expression. "You're not serious?" the blonde questioned flabbergasted when Sasuke did indeed look serious.

"Why not, she seems suited for the wife of an Uchiha and she has great parental skills." Sasuke admitted.

Naruto laughed as he watched his pink haired friend. "You better not tell her that. She's pretty strong for a woman and has a wicked temper. She'll easily bruise your ego."

"We'll see. A lot of women like me I might just have a shot." Sasuke reminded his best friend with smirk.

"Maybe, but Sakura is not like a lot of women." Naruto admitted, but Sasuke didn't listen.

"Hey Sakura, would you like to date me?" Sasuke came out and asked with confidence no man should have. Sakura turned her gaze from Daisuke and looked directly at Sasuke.

"I'm sorry as much as marrying you and dating sounds like fun, I don't think so." Sakura shot him down.

Naruto burst out laughing and couldn't wait to say 'I told you so' and Sasuke so wanted to hit Naruto in the head. "I insist. You see I'm in search of a wife and I've handpicked you as candidate number one." Sasuke replied.

...

I was dead set on saying no once again, but then I remembered what Kiba had said to me at the mall. "I should try and put myself out there. We go on a date and if I don't like him then we shake hands and walk out separate ways." I decided.

"Well, I guess. Since you insist I probably can't refuse." I smiled.

Naruto's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. "Okay then, I'll pick you up at Naruto's place around 19:00. That way you don't have to give me your home address or phone number. I'm sure you'll feel safe knowing I can't stalk you." Sasuke said.

"Agreed, but I'm sure you'll be able to stalk me even if I don't give you any personal information. You do work at the UPD after all." I giggled.

"You're not actually going to go out with him are you?" Naruto pointed his finger in Sasuke direction and said 'him' like it had a bitter taste in his mouth.

I shrugged. "Why not; if I don't like him I can just dump him." I mentioned to Naruto. Sasuke did not look impressed.

"True, but you better be careful of ole' Sasuke here, he's a real ladies man." Naruto warned giving Sasuke a pat on the shoulder.

"I figured. You can see it a mile away. The ladies are probably after his fortune as the Uchiha heir or his good looks or both." I replied.

"Sadly that's all he's got going for him. Sasuke is a mute ice-block it's hard to get him to have a conversation about anything." Naruto added.

Sasuke glared at him. "Do you want to be demoted?" he threatened.

Before Naruto could reply Hinata walked over with a small smile. "Here you are, I was looking for you and I see you found Sakura."

"More like I found them." I looked down at her baby and smiled before handing him back to her "He's the cutest baby I've ever seen and I've seen quite a lot."

Hinata giggled at my little joke. "How is work?"

"A bit tiring to be honest, but a joy all the same." I admitted honestly.

"I envy your job; it must be nice to see all those happy couples." Hinata replied.

"It is very fulfilling." I agreed.

Hinata looked down at Daisuke and smiled at his sleeping face. "Already sleeping."

"Reminds me of Shikamaru." I joked. Naruto did not seem impressed at all.

"No way is my son turning out like Shikamaru, he's going to be just like his legendary dad." Naruto bragged excitedly.

"Legendary how?" I asked him.

"Hey!" Naruto whined displeasingly. I laughed along with Hinata. Sasuke seemed amused.

I turned my gaze to Sasuke as Hinata tried to bring Naruto out of his brooding state. Sasuke seemed lost in thought as he stared at the couple.

My gaze never wavered as Sasuke turned to look at me. His gaze was smouldering and dead set. His onyx orbs did not falter from mine. I started to smile slowly at him and a small smirk crossed his face as well.

"I wonder who Sasuke Uchiha really is?"
