I heard him sigh as we walked out of the building. I rolled my eyes at his attitude and continued to ignore him. Outside, I saw Sakura waiting for us to arrive. "Hey guys..." she said sadly.

Sasuke clicked his tongue and slowly began to make his way behind me, leaving me to do the talking with Sakura. Dick move...

"Hey Sakura-chan, I saw you were lucky enough to get away from this stupid mission," I said awkwardly while trying to break the ice.

"Yeah...I didn't know I wouldn't be participating until Lady Tsunade said it herself. It was probably a last minute decision...but I kinda wish..." she then looked up at Sasuke with sad eyes, "...I was chosen..."

Sakura-chan...ugh this whole situation is stupid!

"U-uh nahhh, this whole mission is a total drag! A-and I would have rather been left out of this mission too! You know me, I don't need a man! I will be the future Hokage after all! And if Lady Tsunade doesn't need anyone, I don't either! Besides, who has time to raise snotty kids, bleh!" I said trying to cheer her up.

She giggled at my gesture and smiled, "Yeah, kids are kinda bleh."

I nodded happily as I threw in another statement: "Yeah! And guys ain't shit!"

We were laughing with each other when Sasuke cleared his throat loudly, ruining our moment. "I don't want to be rude, but we need to go, Naruko."

That's right, this asshole is my 'husband' now...

I sighed as I remembered the painful nightmare that had become my reality. "Sorry Sakura-chan, we gotta go. We'll talk later, okay?"

She nodded and her smile began to loosen.

I'm sorry Sakura-chan...

Sasuke and I were walking side by side in silence. It was awkward, and I was getting ready to leave the situation by running home.

"So..." I heard Sasuke say, "Where are we going to live?"

"Huh?!"

His face flushed a light pink as he became flustered. "I-It's not like I want to live with you or anything, but we need to find a place before the end of the week..."

Crap, that's right. I gotta live with this bastard for 2 years...

"I dunno. I gotta think about it," I replied uninterested as I picked my nose.

"Naruko."

"Hm?"

"You're disgusting."

"Excuse me?!"

Sasuke looked at me with a face as he distanced himself from me. "You're 18 and still picking your nose in public like a child. I'm a guy and you don't even see me doing that myself, idiot."

"Why does it matter that I pick my nose?!"

"Because if I'm going to be living with you, I don't want to be around someone who picks their nose 24/7 in public!"

"Well, that's life. You can't always live in comfort," I stated as I dug into my nose to get the booger that was bothering me for the past few minutes.

"No, that's disgusting! Picking your ear is one thing, but I cross the line with boogers. You're just a nasty slug," he said completely disgusted with my actions.

"What? Are you a germaphobe?" I asked as I looked at the booger on my finger.

"No..." he retorted as he looked at the slugger on my finger.
