"Sasuke, I'm going to the market with Ino. Oh, and could you tell Naruto the news?" Sakura said slipping on her sheep lined western style shoes and reaching for her purse.
"Yeah, sure. Bye" Sasuke said a little nervous from thinking of the out come of telling Naruto the news. With a chaste kiss Sakura was on her way. As soon as the door closed Sasuke let out a frustrated sigh, what had he gotten himself into? Marriage yes he wanted an able Kunoichi to breed his children but this? Risking his friendships was just little too much.
"Ohayo Sakura!" Ino yelled and waved Sakura over to a boutique that was selling winter clothing.
"Hey Ino, Naruto has been almost avoiding me lately. I mean weird…-

"I know and but this is what I wanted, Ino."
"No, this is what you think you want." Ino said before flipping open her phone.
"Hey I got to go, emergency shift at the Flower shop, see ya' round" Ino said before leaving the boutique.
The boutique was silent as Sakura stood there contemplating what Ino had just said, When did Ino get serious? Sakura paid for a couple of things before leaving the shop and heading home to set down the bags.
"Naruto."
"Huh? Ohayo Sasuke" Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck. "Didn't see you there"
Sasuke took a look at Naruto, that same mask that seemed to be glued onto his face.

"Me and Sakura are to be married, and we want you to be our best man." Sasuke said barley audible wishing he could have went back in time and stopped it all.
Naruto felt a pang in his chest as he replied…
