Of course it had to be them who ended up together.

It was mid-chunin exams, when they were in the forest that Orochimaru attacked them. And of course, the group had ended up split up. Naruto and Sakura were God knows where while Ashten and Sasuke were hiding and trying to figure out what to do. The only problem was—well, they sort of hate each other? Like rivals sort of.. with tons of arguing and all.

Not to mention, they were both hurt, Sasuke slightly worse. Hiding behind some bushes, he strained to use his Sharingan. What if Orchiamru was around? He couldn't let his guard down. "Be quiet.." He grunts, clenching one of his injured arms.
