I was shocked by Gaara's sudden mention of marriage.
What the hell does he mean by marriage?!
Granny Tsunade and I stared at each other with speechless expressions. 'I swear I didn't know about this!' I yelled mentally towards her when she showed me a fist.
In just one day, everything had been flipped upside down. One lie was all I said. One small lie, and now I'm paying double the price for my sin.
I was yelling internally for whatever higher being out there to get me out of this situation, but instead, I heard laughter from Gaara. Granny and I both looked at each other before turning over to face him in confusion.
"Don't worry Naruko, I could never just marry you out of the blue," he said with a smile. "But maybe one day..." he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it lovingly, "...we'll be together forever..."
I smiled nervously at his gesture. He kissed my hand?! No no no! Eww eww eww! Ugh this isn't right!
Granny Tsunade then cleared her throat loudly to catch our attention. "Well, I'm glad to know you guys are both madly in love..." as she spoke, she glanced over at me with narrow eyes, indicating that she wanted to speak to me about this sudden charade. "So...What can I help you with Gaara?"
"Since Naruko and I are now dating-"
"Wait, wait, wait...What did you say?"
"We're dating."
She sighed, rubbing her temples in frustration. "When did this happen? Better yet, don't even tell me." She looked at me with anger in her eyes. "I'm sorry to inform you Gaara, but Naruko is on a mission right now where she is currently married to Sasuke Uchiha."
"Yes, I am aware of that."
"...and they're supposed to be having a kid together within these next two years."
Gaara nodded at her statement. "I'm aware of that too."
"Okay...then why are you here if you know you can't be with her?"
"Well, Naruko does not truly love Sasuke, and they never agreed to be exclusive, so I can technically still be with her."
"Huh?"
This is such a mess...how the hell did that small lie get so drastic?!
I couldn't say anything as the two went back and forth, finding a way to prove that one action couldn't outdo the other. I sighed as I slowly backed up against the wall and rested there.
All this because I couldn't admit that I was falling for that stupid ass hole...I'm such an idiot...
The two were still fighting until Lady Tsunade finally blew up and broke her desk in half with a punch.
"Listen Gaara, I care for our alliance deeply, but Naruko is on a mission here for her village! I will not annul the marriage, and she will not be removed from the mission until 2 years from now! Am I clear?!"
He crossed his arms angrily as he stared at her. "You're a sick woman... trying to play matchmaker by forcing people to have children to "save their village." I'll respect this mission, but no where in your rules does it say that she can't have an outside relationship while on the mission."
She crossed her arms angrily as she listened to Gaara's words. "Fine. Do whatever you want, but don't try to take Naruko away from this village until her mission is done. Now get out of my office!"
