Author's note: a little drabble post Managa #699. In my head, #700 never happened. :P

Just Happy

"But, you were supposed to wait for me!"

"Wait for you? When did I agree to that?" the pinkette sighed exasperatedly.

"But-"

"Look, it has been 2 years. You never said you wanted to be with me. What did you expect?" her teeth ground together as she tried to contain her anger. They were in the middle of the village and she had been having such a good day.

"But, I said see you soon!"

"2 years isn't soon," her brow twitched, "and I don't recall saying I'd be waiting."

"But, you love me!"

"In the way that I also love Naruto, Sai and Yamato -as teammates, as brothers even," her fists clenched. Really this was getting ridiculous.

"But- but, I poked your forehead!"

"What does that have to do with anything!?" she yelled taking a step forward.

"But, he is old."

Something snapped, a blur of pink, red, black and fury closed the distance between the two. Villagers who had been watching the drama unfold scattered in the market as a loud, "Shannaro!" sounded across the busy space.

She stood looming over the befuddled Uchiha, "After everything you've done, you should be happy that I still love you as a teammate, you entitled little shit. And he is ten times the ninja and the man that you will ever hope to be. You'd do best to remember who taught as all the importance of never leaving a teammate behind; its part of the reason Naruto and I never gave up on your moody ass!" With a humph, she straightened out her sweater and her hair, "until you learn some respect and humility, I think its best you steer clear of us."

Turning her back to the groaning heap of Uchiha, with villagers scrambling to look like they hadn't been watching everything unfold, Sakura walked back over to her fiance.

He tucked her small hand into the crook of his arm with a twinkle in his gray eyes.

Noticing the look in his eyes, she looked up sheepishly, "what?"

His grin widened with a chuckle as they continued on their way, "Nothing," he gave their intertwined hands a gentle squeeze. After everything he was finally not alone anymore. He glanced at his mother's ring on her finger and felt his heart clench, "Just happy," he replied with a grin hidden behind his mask.

In my headcannon, this is what happens once Sasuke returns from doing whatever the hell he goes off to do at the end of #699. Sakura continues on with life. Kakashi has always been there and once Sasuke leaves again he finally asks her out. The rest is history. :3
