"Oh hell no."

I sighed. I knew he would say that. Dad was always the over-protective type so, it's really quite guessable that he wouldn't give his blessings. Especially, since its Sasuke Uchiha.

My Mom just froze. Dad glaring daggers. Sasuke with a unpleased frown and me, with an irritated face.

"Dad! Really, can you just, please give me a break and at least hear us out?!"

"Young lady, how dare you raise your voice at me!"

"Well, its your fault!"

"Ahem!" We both jerked our heads at Mom, who looked like she just recovered from the shock. "Before we, 'talk' about this, you two should come in first and have dinner." She politely offered and opened the door wider. Me and Sasuke slowly walked in and followed them to the dining area.

.........

Well, dinner that evening was just..

Silently awkward and boring.

We all just quietly sat there, hardly ate the food. Dad, just had to glare at Sasuke like he's gonna eat him or something! He's like a freaking tiger ready to grab his prey! God!

After the not so dinner-like dinner we had, Mom lead us to the living room..

Can't my life get anymore more complicated?

'Well yes. Yes, it still can if Dad-'

"You two are not getting maried."

'..Okay. Nevermind.' (-.-')

I secretly glanced at Sasuke. And from the looks of it, he's getting angry. Based from the way he clenched his jaw and balled his fists. I know he's just controlling it. Like what I'm doing now.. "Oh Sakura dear, ignore your father and let's just talk about the upcoming wedding!" Immediately upon hearing Mom's words, my Dad jolted up.

"YOU'RE GIVING THEM YOUR APPROVAL?!?!"

Mom just innocently smiled and nodded. ( Inner: 'Hah! Take that Daddy!' (>^ω^<) ) "Why not Kizashi? Sasuke looks like a nice boy for our daughter. And, if they're really in love, who are we to stop them from getting married? They are already at the right age." She glanced at our direction as I mouthed a 'thank you' to her.

"Right age?! They are only seventeen! And plus, isn't that Sasuke the one who broke her heart and left her crying?" Dad spat out.

"Dad! I love him! That was a long time ago-"

"And still he left the village for his revenge! Sakura, once a traitor, always a traitor. You should already know that more than anyone."

I gritted my teeth. Isn't he ever giving up?! Mom already gave her blessings, why can't he?!

My Dad then stood up. He eyed the raven who sat next to me. Sasuke just had his head bowed low, casting shadows on his face..

"And you, stay away from my daughter. You don't deserve her. Heck, you never will! You are just a waste of time.. Get out." He ordered.

"Kizashi Haruno, that is enough!"

"Shut up Mebuki! Uchiha, didn't you hear me?! I said get ou-!"

"No."

Sasuke stood up and glared. Oh boy.. Dad hit a nerve there. I chose to watch instead and see how my boyfriend can handle this.

"What did you-!"

"I said no. I love your daughter, and we will get married, with or without your blessings." He said.

"Hah! Love my daughter my ass. You are not going to marry her, and that's final." My father countered. And it was until then did I realized something..

'Uh oh..'

Sasuke's Sharingan was activated.

"You know nothing how we feel! I've been through hell just to get Sakura back to me, and no one can stop us from getting married even if you're the ruler of the whole Shinobi world! I assure you, I love her and regretted the day I even departed from her!" Sasuke snapped.

Wow. I mean WOW. Sasuke Uchiha, boldly said that to my Dad in their house and with me and my Mom silently watching?? Is it just me, or is he just getting more and more 'Out-Of-Character' by the minute?

'You can say that again.'

(O.O) ?

But anyway, it makes me blush like an idiot..

I promise, my father is royally pissed by now. But, I somehow admire to him in a way though. Who wouldn't if he just countered/yelled at the one and only Sasuke Uchiha without showing any kind of fear in him?

He must be REALLY brave.

'Or just plain stupid.'

"Then prove it, Sasuke. If you so 'love' my daughter as you say you do, then prove it." He challenged. Sasuke cocked a perfect eyebrow at him.

"How?"

"Starting tomorrow, do not ever see or go near Sakura for one whole week. No communications. No contact. Nothing. After one week, come back here to me, and dare say that you still love her even after her absence.. Then I will give you my blessings." He finished.

Sasuke deactivated his Sharingan and smirked. "Hn. I accept." And with that, he bowed and grabbed my hand. Dragging me outside, leaving my mother in rage at what Dad did, and of course my father sending deadly glares at our direction..

.......

"Hey! Sasuke-kun that hurts!"

"Hn. Sorry." He said as we stood a few meters away from my parents' house. I looked at him. His dark onyx eyes boring into mine. He held a soft gaze as he leaned closer.

"So, you really accepted the stupid challenge, huh?"

"Of course." He replied. Resting his forehead onto mine.

"Why? You said it earlier that, with or without Dad's blessings, you'll marry me. Why accept such a thing knowing that, whatever happens, we'll get married?"

He smirked at me. Making me melt under his gaze. "Because I want to prove him wrong.. Sakura, I love you and I don't want anyone to doubt what I feel for you. Because truthfully, if possible, I'd marry you in a heart beat." He said.

"Aww... Sasu-kun. You're so sweet!' I giggled and pecked his lips. "But, can you really live a week without me?" I asked. He thought for a minute and answered, "Perhaps. But, if it's the only way to get you Dad's blessings, I'll try to do it." I smiled.

"Besides, I have already been separated from you for almost three years.. what's that worst that could happen in a week?"

"Yeah.. I hope so.."
