"I'm not signing that." Hinata replied stubbornly.

"Our agreement before our fight was that winner gained ownership of Naruto AND the loser. You're the loser, I'm the winner. By our agreement, you have to become my slave now." Sakura replied with a smug smirk.

"We didn't sign anything." Hinata shot back.

"Actually, what we did was called an oral contract, and Naruto here is a witness to validate the contract."

"Hyugas aren't slaves. I didn't sign anything, and I'm not going to."

"Sign the damn contract Hinata, you don't want to piss your master off." Sakura warned. Of course... it's not like her signing the contract or not would save her, Sakura was already pissed at her for what she called her. She was going to humiliate Hinata in front of the entire village.

"I'm leaving." Hinata replied. "I'll let you keep Naruto...for now."

"I'm just going to go to the Hokage. Signing this contract now will save your family a lot of face." Sakura warned. She really didn't want to hurt the Hyuga clan, she had never had a beef with any of them. She just wanted to make Hinata regret being born. Sending the ANBU to the Hyuga estate to drag Hinata to the Hokage's office so she could sign her life over to Sakura would not look good in the public eye for the whole Hyuga clan. It would look like they were offering asylum to Hianta.

"There's nothing the Hokage can do." Hinata replied as she crossed her arms across her massive chest. She gave Sakura one last glare before stomping out of Sakura's house.

Sakura sighed and walked into her closet. She began digging around until she found an orange piece of cloth and a black men's tank top that she had worn for Halloween a year earlier.

"Here." Sakura said as she tossed the cloth and tank top to Naruto. "We're going to the Hokage's office."

Naruto stared at Sakura with a confused expression. "You want me to go with you Mistress?"

Sakura rolled her eyes. "What did I tell you about questioning me? You're just going to regret it more later if you keep doing it."

"But..."

"As I told Hinata, you're the witness that will validate the oral contract Hinata and I have."

"Oh, so you're giving me this ribbon and shirt so I can hide the fact that I'm your slave so no one accuses me of being biased?"

Sakura smiled at Naruto. Despite what everyone said, he really was smarter than people gave him credit for.

"No, I don't plan on hiding the fact that you're my slave at all. I just figured you would rather have your brands covered when we go out in public."

"...Huh?" Naruto had been hoping to put his question a little bit more intelligently, but he was too surprised to do so. He just couldn't get a handle on Sakura. One minute she's taking advantage of his feelings to enslave him, the next she's thinking about his comfort?

"If you would rather broadcast to all of our friends that I own you now then I won't force you to wear that. But I thought that I would give you the option."

"But...I thought you were going to punish me for questioning you?"

Sakura smiled brightly at Naruto. "Oh I am. And by the way, you just questioned me again. You know what that means..."

Naruto groaned and pulled on the black tank top. It was a little snug, but it fit. A little of the brand on his chest was still noticeable, but not enough for any words to be made out. It just looked like he had some kind of cool tattoo. Next, Naruto the orange piece of cloth around his head much like he would his forehead protector.

Sakura had to admit, Naruto didn't look too bad in his new outfit.

"Alright let's go." Sakura said. She stopped as her hand touched the door and looked over her shoulder at her slave.

"Oh and Naruto, you may call me Sakura when we're in public if you prefer."

"Ok, thank you Mistress."

"You're welcome slave." Sakura opened the door and, with Naruto in tow, started walking towards the Hokage's office.
