Summary: This was an argument she was sure to win.
"I just don't understand why you are refusing this now." Father said.
"He humiliated me father, surely you cannot allow your daughter to marry someone who humiliates the family like that." Sakura informed him, calmly. This was an argument she was sure to win.
Minato looked torn. "Are you sure? Because rumors can b-" He said but Sakura spoke before he was able to finish his sentence.
"Naruto was there, he saw it too." She said, hurt because her father was doubting her.
Naruto nodded, agreeing with his sister. "It's true father."
Minato paced around the room. "We can't just call off the engagement without having other witnesses, that would be an enormous scandal."
Sakura sighed, this was getting boring and she was starting to get and headache. This wasn't a topic she liked. "Everybody knows he's a manwhore."
Minato looked utterly scandalized. "Sakura!" He reprimanded. That wasn't a word a lady of her status should utter.
"Isn't it true?" She shrugged. "Besides there are much better families to choose from. Like the Hyuuga's."
Naruto nodded again in agreement. "Yes, Hinata told me her cousin, Neji, is looking for a wife and he is a much better man than that bastard Uchiha."
"Naruto, mind your language!"
"I'm sorry father but as I was saying, Neji is a good catch and the Hyuuga's are just as powerful as the Uchiha's." Naruto continued.
"Not quite, the Uchiha's have more power." Father pointed out. Seems like he really did all the research. "Why do you think I chose them?"
"Whatever, does it matter to lose a little power if it makes your daughter happy?" Her twin asked and father made a pensive face. Then he raised both his hands, leveling them and then he moved them up and down, imitating a scales.
"Father!" Sakura shouted, indignant.
Minato sighed. "Alright. I suppose I could call Fugaku." He said and looked at her, now more serious. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
Sakura nodded. "I wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't."
"Alright, I'm going to call him now." He said and started walking towards the phone.
Father was almost at the door when he suddenly stopped and turned back to her. "You should get to know that Hyuuga Neji, become…friends with him, perhaps?"
Sakura laughed. "Of course, father." She said, lying back on the silver chaise long.
