Her solution caused uproar.
"What? You can't be serious!" Tenten complained.
Miho seemed shocked. "Think about it. We'll be able to go about our normal lives; we'd just have a roommate, that's all."
Tenten objected. "That's all? That's all!? If you take out the "room" in roommate, what's that spell?"
"Ummm,"
"Mate! That's right! I don't want to live with someone who can make me pregnant!"
Choji was confused. "I thought you would want…"
Tenten cut him off. "I mean before I get married, I'm not yet."
"I thought we were going to change that," Miho said with a smirk.
Tenten got worried. "You mean this is going to be permanent?"
"Did I say that?"
Tenten stuttered. "W-well you said we were going to get ma…"
Another cutoff. "Just until we solve the problem or this blows over. Don't panic. I have confidence that Tsunade will give in eventually."
"Just how long is eventually?" She said, uneasy.
Miho ignored that.
"Hold on," Shikamaru said, "This could work, I'm just surprised I'm not the one who thought of it, and Miho did, of all people!"
Neji cocked his head. "I don't getchya."
Shikamaru sighed and began to explain. "It's just like a ninja mission for the better of Konoha's youth. We'll be undercover representing the rebellion. The only catch is we'll have to live together… um, yeah."
"It's easy for Miho to say though," I muttered, "She's the only one of us who actually has a relationship."
"Yeah," Sasuke agreed, shifting his eyes back and forth.
"What; then should we draw straws?" Ino asked.
"No," Shikamaru assured, "I believe we should thoroughly think this through, so people will actually believe our story of running away to get hitched. For example, Sakura…"
I blushed, really hard.
"Your fake story could be that you used to love Sasuke, but since he's been back, he hasn't been that much popular anymore, and if you two even tried to marry, wedding crashers would be more abundant than the actual guests! You two eloped because you wanted to avoid that."
"That seems to make sense," I said, my voice growing smaller with every passing word. I knew what this meant, as did all of us. I would be paired with Sasuke.
"Soooooo," Naruto said, restating the obvious, "I guess this means that Sakura is taken." His hand reached to his head, and scratched it as he was confused.
"Do not think of it as 'taken', Naruto," Shikamaru explained to Naruto, "She agrees to temporarily marry Sasuke," he looked at me, "Don't you?" he said, hopefulness in his voice.
I froze up. Looking at Sasuke, I felt my heart skip a beat, then break, seeing him, hurt." washed over his face. He was beautiful, and I felt a flicker of my lost love, trying to rekindle itself. I hurried. "Of coarse I will!" Then I realized that I had just said "I do." I wasn't happy, but I wasn't sad.
Sasuke nodded and smirked. "I agree." Oop! There's another beat I'll never get back, thanks a lot, 'heartthrob.'
"Will you fight?' Shikamaru asked us. "We must pair you up so you won't kill each other. Two people cannot remain secluded together for very long, or they might make each other so angry so they have a motive to hurt their companion, as, sadly, husband and wife often do."
"No." We both spoke at the same time.
"What about the others?" I asked, desperately trying to change the subject.
Shikamaru looked around, curious, "Anybody have any ideas?"
I glanced Hinata deep in thought trying for a solution. "Well, I know Miho and Kiba will want to p-pair up, right?"
"You betchya!" Kiba raised his thumb.
"But why would you run off and get married?" Shikamaru pondered.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Why would you require doing it without your parents, theoretically?" Shikamaru explained.
Miho put a hand on her chin in thought. "There are some traits that Kiba's mom doesn't actually like."
"What?" asked Kiba. He had no clue what went on in Miho's head.
"The fact that I summon tigers. The Inuzukas are canine, and I'm basically feline, not a good thing, nope."
"Hmm," Kiba thought out loud, solemnly.
"Fine." Said Shikamaru, sealing their fate.
Suddenly, Hinata exploded. "HIASHI HATES NARUTO!"
Naruto scoffed. "Hmf. Well, thanks a lot, Hinata,"
Her face turned as red as Sasuke's tomatoes. "Umm, I-I, mean, what I'm trying to say is…, I know a solution to…, I think I can fix…"
Shikamaru blurted like he was impatient to Hinata's stuttering, and, truth is, he probably was. "She's trying to say we should hook her up with Naruto, because Hiashi hates him." It's true.
Hinata touched her lips and turned even more red. "I-I-I-I…" and fainted.
"Actually, it makes sense." Shikamaru said. Too bad Hinata wasn't awake to hear.
"Oh well, I guess I'm fine with it, Hinata is kind of cute."
Kiba smirked and laughed a tiny laugh, like Sasuke might. "If I know Hinata… she'd faint, which means yes."
"Uggg,"
We heard a moan. Switching our heads around. Hinata was finally waking up. "What happened?"
"You and Naruto 'eloped'," I said, not subtlety at all.
She fainted…again.
