He didn't seem to notice her, or maybe he was simply ignoring her. Sasuke fastened his armor over his chest, recovered his sword, and slowly sheathed it. She watched him, and all but hiding behind the doorframe to their bedroom.

He momentarily paused. Finally turned to look back at her.

"What?" he inquired quietly. His expression was neither hard nor soft. He seemed wholly indifferent.

"This isn't a marriage," Hinata said. She took a draw of air, and repeated it, simply. "I want a divorce."
