Naruto stood on top of his father’s head overlooking Konoha
and took a deep breath. He had loved
this view since he was a child, and it was still his favorite place in the
entire village. He did a lot of
thinking here, and he had made love to the woman of his dreams here. A grin crossed his face as he remembered
that night; neither of them got any sleep.
Today, though, was the most important day of his life. No…he wasn’t being named the Hokage…he
wasn’t being named the hero of Konoha…he wasn’t seeing Sasuke turn over a new
leaf. Today was the day that he…that
he…
“Naruto!” a voice called out, and the blonde turned his head
to see Kiba running towards him.
“What the hell are you doing here?” the Inazuka nearly
demanded.
“Nothing…just thinking I guess.”
“Are you crazy? You
have to be there in thirty minutes!
Come on, Hinata’s never gonna forgive me if you’re late!”
“Henpecked already, are you Kiba? Our little Hinata is quiet strict with you, huh?” Naruto said
with a laugh.
“Shut-up, you idiot.
You’re one to talk; Sakura has you wrapped around her little finger.”
‘He’s got you there, kit’ Kyuubi laughed mentally.
“Alright, let’s do this!” the blonde said with a bright
smile.
“Where the hell is my veil, Ino-pig?” Sakura roared across
the small living room.
“Shut-up, forehead, I’m putting it on now,” her best friend
hissed right back.
Sakura was seated in the middle of her parent’s living room
with numerous kunoichi fussing over her.
Hinata and Ayumi were making sure her kimono wasn’t too long so she
wouldn’t trip over it, Tsunade and her mother were checking her makeup to make
sure nothing look unbalanced on her complexion, and Ino was putting the
finishing touches on her hair so she could set the veil on top of her head.
After the final evaluations passed, each of the women helped
to settle the long, silk cloth over her head.
“You look gorgeous, my daughter,” her mother said with tears
in her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Sakura stood to her feet and turned to
look in the full-length mirror Ino had set up on the far wall. She even took her own breath away. Ayumi had done a magnificent job on the
kimono; it didn’t feel heavy and fit wonderfully. Her mother and shishou had listened to her and not overdone her
makeup – just enough to accentuate her natural beauty. Her green eyes were sparkling, and her heart
was nearly pounding out of her chest.
Yes, this is how she wanted to look on her wedding day.
“I just hope Naruto doesn’t pass out when he sees you,” Ino
teased.
“Don’t worry, he won’t,” Tsunade said with a confident
smile.
“How do you know that, shishou?” her apprentice questioned.
“That’s simple. Do
you think he would dare risk my or worse your wrath for acting like a baka on
your wedding day? If necessary, I even
instructed Shikamaru to freeze him upright if he starts to faint!”
All the women laughed, and Sakura enjoyed the lightening of
the mood. A determined look in her eyes
and a smile on her face, she headed for the door.
“Alright, let’s go,” she said firmly, and her friends and
mother followed her.
Naruto stood at the head of a long, white aisle. He loved Sakura’s idea of doing this
outdoors, and it was a perfect day for it – warm but not hot. A group of their closest friends and family
made up the crowd. Everyone had
accepted their invitations. He smiled
as he saw some of his oldest friends from Wave Country and the great Naruto
bridge village. He grinned as he saw
Gamakichi and Gamatatsu sitting in the back like two sentinels guarding the
ceremony. Gamabunta wanted to come as
well, but he and Naruto had both agreed that his presence might be a little
imposing.
Running his eyes across the crowd, Naruto saw all the
friends he had gained from all his adventures; he’d never have the time to name
them all; but he loved every one of them.
He smiled as Yukie the snow princess waved at him and winked. Shion was sitting next to her and drawing
quite a bit of attention from the male attendees for her exotic beauty and
priestess robes.
Naruto felt a small pang of regret that Sasuke was not here,
but the teme had made his choice a long time ago, and he would have to accept
that. The Uchiha was currently in the
middle of a two year assignment on the opposite side of the continent –
courtesy of Tsunade.
Naruto saw each of the rookie nine and their families as
well. His eyes landed on the head of
the Hyuuga clan, the now village elder gave Naruto a slight nod, and the blonde
returned it. It was Hiashi who had led
the ruling that Naruto’s exile be overturned, and after his performance at the
Chuunin exams, no council member was going to question that decision.
Sakura had been so happy for him that she’d nearly fucked
him clear through the floor that night; her neighbors were complaining about
the noise for weeks; but he didn’t give a damn.
Dragging himself out of that pleasant memory, Naruto saw the
second most beloved woman in his life head down the aisle towards him.
Tsunade hated formal wear with a passion, but she would
endure it for her wonderful blockhead.
Naruto was surprised to see Jiraiya following her down the aisle. For a moment, he wondered if the two Sannin
were going to do the ceremony jointly until he watched his teacher take a seat
in the front row. He gave an inward
sigh of relief.
Tsunade grinned slightly as she reached Naruto, and she saw
his eyes asking her a question.
“Don’t worry, Naruto, I wouldn’t dare ask him to help me do
the ceremony,” she whispered with a grin.
The final few minutes ticked away, and Naruto composed
himself for what was about to happen.
A hush fell over the crowd as the musicians began a soft,
gentle melody. The blonde’s palms were
soaked, but he forced himself to calm down.
‘Calm down, kit, you feel the same way I would if it was
Kyoko walking down that aisle; it’s means you’re ready.’
‘Thanks for the vote of confidence, fox.’
The procession began as Shikamaru escorted Temari down the
aisle. Like Naruto, he was dressed in
the traditional black outer kimono with a white under kimono. Sakura had chosen a mixture of lavender and
cream colors for her bridesmaids’ kimonos, and it looked lovely.
The pair separated as they reached the front of the
aisle. Shikamaru took his place several
steps behind Naruto, and Temari took her place at the end of the opposite
side. The next couple was Kiba and
Hinata, and Naruto grinned inwardly as he remembered their ceremony a little
over a month ago. They both looked a
lot less nervous since this wasn’t their wedding, and Kiba looked a lot more
confidant as he led his wife down the aisle.
The pair separated before reaching Naruto, and now, it was Ino and
Chouji’s turn.
It had caused quite a stir when their relationship had
become public knowledge, but Ino vehemently showed that she didn’t give a damn
about how people felt. When the rumors
began to circulate, Ino had grabbed the bull by horns and practically made out
with Chouji in the middle of Konoha’s market during a busy day. After their public display of affection, Ino
had laid down the law and said that anyone who didn’t approve of their
relationship could kiss her ass. Since
then, no one had questioned their seeing one another.
As the couple separated, Ino winked at Naruto, and he
returned it. She knew he was waiting to
see Sakura.
The second to last couple made their way down the aisle as
Gaara escorted Sakura’s mother. Once at
the front, Mrs. Haruno released his hand and took her seat while Gaara took his
place at Naruto’s side as his best man.
The music stopped and silence fell over the crowd as Sakura’s
father began to lead his daughter down the aisle. The music began again, but Sakura didn’t notice. Her eyes scanned through the crowd at all
the people she had met since she was a young ninja until they finally came to
rest on the man she had chosen.
Naruto’s eyes were locked on her own and never wavered. He looked beyond handsome in his wedding
kimono, but he had Ayumi make a very special addition. Embroidered across the back was an
incredibly realistic replica of Kyuubi; Sakura’s wedding kimono also had a
matching embroidery of Kyoko on her back as well. It was a tribute to the couple’s closest friends – literally - ,
and the kitsunes were humbled by the gesture.
Sakura barely felt her father let go of her hand, and she
took her place automatically without looking away from her husband. She barely registered Tsunade’s words as she
proceeded through the ceremony until the Hokage stated that it was time for
their vows to one another.
“Sakura…” the Hokage said simply.
What happened next shocked everyone in attendance – even
Naruto. Sakura bowed her head and
calmly knelt down. Placing her hands in
her lap in the classic pose of a submissive Japanese wife – something she
absolutely was not – she spoke softly yet clearly.
“I promise to do my best to be a good wife to you and make
you happy. I promise to never allow
harm to come to you – either by others or myself. I know that I have my faults but please accept me because I love
you.”
Her words stunned the crowd – including the Hokage and even
her bridesmaids. Even Ino was shocked
at her posture and words. She had never
known Sakura to act submissive before, and here she was doing just that – for
Naruto.
The jinchuuriki felt his love for his cherry blossom
increase ten-fold at her wondrous gesture, but he did not wish her to believe
that she needed to act this way with him.
It was not who she was.
Sakura’s head remained lowered until she saw a hand appear
in front of her face. Lifting her gaze,
she saw Naruto bent forward with his arm extended like a gallant prince.
“Allow me…my lady,” he said simply, and she lifted her hand
to clasp in his.
Naruto helped her back to her feet but did not release her
hand. Getting down on one knee, he laid
a soft kiss on her hand and looked up into her now shining, green eyes.
“Sakura-chan, the only thing that would make me unhappy is
if you change; you are perfectly imperfect.
I love you as you are and will always do so. I promise to protect you and see to it that our life together is
as happy as it can be. Never bow your
head to me again. You are not lesser
than me; you are my equal. Better
still, you are my best friend and partner.
You are my wife and my other half.
Never doubt yourself, Sakura-chan, for you will always have my heart –
today, tomorrow, and forever.”
By the time that Naruto rose back up to his feet, Sakura had
tears streaming down her cheeks, and several members of their crowds had to
wipe their eyes. Even Tsunade was not
unaffected by their actions.
Naruto released her hand and opened his arms. Sakura stepped forward and straight into the
arms that had always been waiting for her.
Their faces were inches apart and getting closer. Neither of them heard Tsunade continue.
“By giving your declarations and promises to each other in
the presence of these witnesses…” she trailed as she saw neither the bride nor
groom acknowledged what she was saying.
“…To hell with the details…you two are married! Now, just kiss for heaven’s sakes!” she
practically ordered.
Naruto needed no encouragement as he captured his wife’s
delectable mouth. Her hands sunk into
his blonde hair, and their tongues fought an intimate duel.
Cheers and whistles went up from the crowd, but the happy
couple were oblivious to anything but each other. It was a good five minutes before they managed to peel away from
each other, but they both just wanted to start all over again.
“I love you, Naruto Namikaze.”
“And I love you, Sakura Namikaze.”
Her smile rivaling the sun in its brightness, Sakura
reluctantly stepped back out of his arms.
At his questioning look, her smile turned into a grin, and she yanked
the silk off of her head and shook out her pink hair.
“Finally!” she gasped in relief, and Naruto just grinned at
her.
Cocking her head down the aisle, Sakura looked at her
husband with an impish gleam in her eyes.
“Come on, baka, let’s go enjoy our party,” she said firmly.
Giving her the foxy grin that always made her knees weak,
Naruto swept her up into his arms and proceeded to dash down the aisle with her.
“Whatever you, Sakura-chan, whatever you say,” he laughed as
Sakura just rolled her eyes and laughed right along with him.
Author’s Notes: That’s
it! I know you guys might have been thinking
it should’ve been more dramatic. Let me
say this, this story was only supposed to be a one-shot, and it grew from 20
pages to 180 pages. I really loved this
story, and I didn’t want to compromise the work by making it longer. I had always thought about the time-skip
ending, and I thought it worked out pretty well. As far as the wedding, do you really think that Naruto and Sakura’s
wedding would ever be normal. With
those two, not a chance in hell! I don’t
think there will be an epilogue; I’m pretty happy with ending it here.
