A.N: I got mixed feelings about the 'weird' comment bc that's not the first and I'm sure that's not the last...Whatever...

"Sasori, what have you done to my dad?" Sakura felt tired. It was the big day, her wedding day. She was dressed in a traditional white kimono with her face half hidden beneath the silk. Her lips were painted in a shining scarlet that enhanced the mysterious beauty she held in this ensemble.

Her father was supposed to walk her there but he had gone missing but she leaned more on the disposed theory. In his place was Sasori who was well dressed for the occasion, something she would have never believed, and uninvited. How did he know? She did her best to not let the information spread beyond those who were invited. He was seriously pissing her off with this off handed smile that screamed 'That's for me to know and you to never find out.' That's true. They won't find his corpse when she's done with him. That's for her to know and them to never find out.

While she was thinking of ways to tortu- convince him to tell the location of her missing parent, he swept her off and...was-was he kidnapping her?

"Oi dumbass! What the hell? Don't you see I'm kind of too busy for your bullshit?!" Alas, it did not work, not that she thought it would for a moment. That would have been too beautiful, too easy. Of course she had to endure some shit before getting committed for life. Things such as divorce was not practiced among shinobi. The only thing that would get you separated was death. That or murder because when you truly angered one to the point of divorce, only one would survive the dispute. They could just get sad to the point of depression but they tended to die due to a lot of other reasons. In the end, only one lived or none.

"Leader-sama wants to see you." Why that was really helpful. Not.

"Why would Gaara want to see me?" She was sure he wasn't the one to order that because he was invited and waiting at the reception like the others. How long will it take for them to notice her absence?

"The other one." Pein.

"On the day of my wedding?"

"He doesn't know."But you did.

"And you do. Couldn't you have told him, dimwit?!" Why was she even trying to talk to him? Her kimono was constricting and her movements were highly slowed down by the weight of the layers. She wouldn't be able to escape in this attire. Either she had to give up on this magnificent masterpiece either she would have to wait. Waiting was a better option.

"Doll, they will need to get my approval before getting you."

"Are you my father now?!"

"I might as well be."

She...didn't want to think it. Not when there was a really hot scene between them just a few chapters earlier. That was incest. Not recommended and certainly not welcomed.

"Wait a damn second. Isn't your organization situated in Ame?"

"Hm."

"You're planning on taking to Ame?! Are you crazy?! Ah of course you are." It's of no matter, he'll be sacked before leaving the village. But would the leader not move out of his headquarters if he wanted to see her? That 'Hm' was misleading and extremely well placed.

Swoosh. And that was the sound of a kunai grazing against his cheek. The reinforcement had arrived. She was saved. Her outfit wouldn't have to suffer from the adventure. Thank god for this small blessing.

She guessed the attacker was one of her fiance because the others would have shouted profanities long ago. She would have cried in joy and looked at them but if it was Itachi or Shisui then she was happy remaining in the dark. She didn't want to see the pure murderous intent plastered on them. Not on the big day.

"Hand her over, scum." Did-did Itachi just cuss? He cussed!

"We'll make ground meat out of him." Shisui, lower your blood lust please.

"You can't make meat out of wood. A great bonfire sounds better." Why was she adding on to it? Ah yeah, she's annoyed.

Boom.

"Sasori-danna!" Oh no. Not him.

"Amaterasu." So quick! He didn't waste time on lower fire based justu. He directly went for the strongest.

Goodbye Deidara, you were a good artificer. Err good bomber, bomber.

They were all unscathed. Their meeting with the leader was postponed when he learned about the little situation they landed on and promised to thoroughly punish his subordinates. She asked for a front place. He gave her a seal and a date for the event. He earned her respect.

She was taken to the alter with no obstacle on the way back and married her saviors, if you can call them that, changed her clothes to a simple emerald green dress and headed to their new home. Shisui grabbed her in a bridal hold and passed the threshold.

"Guys, I feel like I forgot something." Sakura grew speculative and turned her gaze up in the air.

"Well, at least we knew it's not your parents. Hahaha." She turned to Shisui so fast that the snap of her neck echoed in the living room.

She sped through the room and ran back outside."Dad!"

"Oh..." They followed her without forgetting their weapon pouch.

The only thing that was in her mind while running was that it wasn't the thing she forgot.

The good news was that her dad was alive. Bedridden for a long time but still alive and nearly healthy. He was too out of it to get better by himself but he had her mother so she didn't worry about him.

As for the bad news. It was written on the stick she was holding that was outright mocking her with its sign.

"Well fuck me."

"Gladly."His use of shunshin was not appreciated at this very moment.

Smack.

"Get out." She slammed the door closed with gusto.

Shisui rubbed his head and picked up the stick. He froze.

"Shisui?" Itachi looked at his frozen face and at the stick stuck between his fingers. He peered over the other's shoulder and his consciousness broke. Yes, broke, it didn't leave him. It broke him.

Sakura found them both still as status. She sighed but didn't try to guess what was wrong.
