The Uzumakis and the Uchihas sat in the latter's living room, and for the first time everyone was quiet.

Sasuke felt welling pride when his father completely approved of Kushina, but for him in her father's eyes, not so much. In fact, he's never seen Minato so hostile and once deemed him incapable of showing negative emotions before.

The Uchiha couldn't blame him though, because if he had a daughter like her (or a daughter period) he'd never let her see a male in her entire life. He looked around and noticed everyone except Kushina and Minato gone, and gulped when the blonde eyed him.

"Oh no." The redhead said.

"How many girlfriends have you had before?"

"None." I could practically see Kushina shooting herself in the head.

"And why not?"

"Because they were all so fake and wished to impress me." He answered, choosing to as honestly as possible.

"Sports?"

"Football."

"Academic?"

"I'm second. But only to your daughter..."

"What do you do for leisure?"

"Work out."

"So you care about your appearance?"

"No, I-"

"And I'm guessing you play games too?"

"Yes."

"Well you are unfit for my daughter." Sasuke's eye twitched. I'm the epitome of perfection! Wait...that's why she calls me egotistical...

"Daddy! I know he's completely below my league, but give him another chance!"

"Say what now! I'm not below YOU! "

"HEY DON'T YELL AT ME I TRIED!"

"We're leaving." He held Kushina's elbow and dragged her away.

She reached pathetically, flailing her hand in the air until she got bored and left with her father.

"Teme?"

"WHAT!" Naruto held his hands in the air.

"Okay I'm sorry!"

Sasuke ran his fingers in his hair while moving upstairs, the wood shaking beneath his feet as Naruto winced.

"Someone needs their beauty sleep." He sang.

"What took you so long duck butt?" She pushed herself off a wall and folded her arms.

"I had some stuff to do."

"Stuff? Stuff? I'm much more important than mere stuff. "

He patted her head. "I know."

"Stop touching me you perv."

He dropped his hand from her head and cupped her cheek.

"Why are we out this late again?"

"Because it was the only time I could sneak out."

"No."

"Ah, but I did."

"I'm taking you home Uzumaki."

"What? Why!" The Uchiha grabbed her wrist and shot her a meaningful look.

"Come on. I see you enough at school."

She mimicked him in the munchkin voice. "Liar."

"We'll figure it out."

"You mean you will, cuz I'm never going out of my way for the likes of you ever again."

"Kushina?" They both turned, a horrified look on the redhead's face when her father, who was carrying a few bags, raised a brow.

"Uhhh.."

"I went to buy a few grocery, and you?" He grimaced when he saw Sasuke. "You snuck out, didn't you?"

The tone he spoke in was undoubtedly not going to be pretty.

"I told her to." Sasuke said firmly, looking Minato straight in the eye whilst squeezing her hand to silence her. He wanted more than anything to be accepted, but that didn't matter anymore. The Uchiha cared about nothing but her opinion from then, so whoever was against this was their problem.

"So you take full responsibility for this?" He nodded. "Okay."

"Okay?" The blonde broke out into a smile, while his daughter started laughing as Sasuke stared at between them.

"I told you he'd pass." Kushina said.

"Pass?"

"Ehm, well I would never think of another as right for Kushina as you."

"Say what?"

"You've been babooned kid." She said dryly. "For the second time."

He recalled the little stalker episode with Naruto and sneered.

"You set me up!"

"Hey, you got his approval right?"

"But you set me up!"

"We've already been through that Uchiha."

"You!"

"Me."

"I can't believe it."

"Me neither."

"Stop agreeing with me."

"Agreed."

"Argh!"

"You're like a married couple already."

"Why would I marry garbage daddy?"

"I'm not garbage you bimbo!"

"Don't go suicidal because of that small fact, it's garbage can not garbage cannot."

He started to walk away, hands in his pockets and ignored her when she yelled "Bye Sasuke! Paper is not edible!".

"Hey Rap, what's up?" Ino put her textbook down and plopped next to her.

"Nothing much, just Sasuke giving me the silent treatment."

"Ohhhhh enlighten me."

"Daddy and I kind of made him man up, and played this whole drama and now he's mad."

"And you're all chill?"

"Yup. He'll come around."

"Hello Sasuke! Stop ignoring me already it's getting old." She sighed exasperated after another failed attempt and faced the board folding her arms while scooting away from him. He rolled his eyes at her pouty expression, trying to subdue a smirk. Having Uzumaki Kushina depressed because of him was blowing up his ego, and he'd enjoy every second of it while still being upset.

"Trouble eh?" Ren leaned down on their table.

"Can brain cells randomly die?"

"I don't think so."

"Yeah, so it's you."

"Huh?"

"That's English for GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SIGHT!"

"No thanks."

Kushina put her hands above her head and placed her forehead on the table. Sasuke taking this opportunity at hand, shot the scariest glare he could muster at Ren. The redhead looked up surprised when he was gone, and glanced at Sasuke, finding him still staring emotionless and sighed.

This is going to be one long day.

"So Suigetsu asked me to be in the fencing tournament next month." She frowned when Sasuke just continued to stare ahead as they walked home. "Well gosh this is very important to me." And more silence.

Walking briskly, she passed him and went on alone. "I don't care anymore." She said aloud, without another glance.
