Political Alliance
Chapter 19: The Big Day
-Hokage Tower-
Naruto was nervous, although he wasn’t sure why. Technically things wouldn’t really be any different, they would still be living together, hey would just be…husband and wife now. Okay so maybe that was what was making him feel so stressed. There was just this huge, finality for it all. He had been getting used to the idea of being married with her, and in all honesty, he was enjoying his life with her lately. Being a husband was totally unknown territory for him.
Was he supposed to act differently, or was there more to being a husband then what he was doing now? Plus came the thought of kids, he had no idea if he could be a father, and what if things went wrong with the marriage? He had seen couples on the street before that looked like they hated each other. Okay, so he and Temari had their ups and downs but nothing serious at least.
But what if things changed?
He actually liked Temari now, she was really pretty, smart, talented as well. She helped him to be a better ninja too. He liked waking up in the morning to see her, eating with her, talking with her. His life had been pretty empty at home before now. He didn’t want to go back to the emptiness again.
“Hey Naruto are you okay?” Iruka asked him as he helped Naruto into his wedding kimono. They were currently in one of the office rooms as they got ready. Everyone else was either in another room or already seated up on the roof. Iruka himself was in a basic black kimono as he helped put the final touches on Naruto’s garb.
Naruto was wearing a more traditional tuxedo kimono, although it had the standard black, the under shirt he picked out was orange. He had been pretty instant about that, a few people tried to talk him out of it, even Temari had asked him but this was something he wouldn’t budge on. This was his big day too and he would wear his favourite color no matter what. He also was given the traditional knife to be worn in the sash on his waist.
That had been given to him by Kakashi on the bachelor party as a gift, apparently he had it made special for him. Naruto had seen the Uzumaki swirl on the hilt, which was orange as well. It had been one of the coolest things he got last night. Thankfully he was fully healed by morning, the others not so much he bet.
“Iruka-sensei, I’m a little…well scared.”
“Oh that’s natural Naruto,” Iruka said to him with a kind smile.
A knock was heard as Jiraiya put his head into the room, “So how are things going in here?”
“He’s a little nervous,” Iruka said to him although he had lost a bit of the image he had in his head about the legendary old man. Apparently you should never meet your heroes.
Jiraiya limped into the room a bit.
“Hey, what happened to your leg Ero-sennin?”
“Ask that soon to be wife of yours,” He muttered to himself. “So what’s there to be worried about kid? You’re getting yourself a fine woman there, beautiful, intelligent, hell I bet there are a few envious males around. So what’s to be nervous about?”
“What if I screw things up? I mean I know I’m not the smartest guy, and I tend to get into trouble...”
“True, plus you’re loud, messy, a little thick and rude.”
“Gee, thanks.” Naruto said deadpanned.
“But the thing is that I can tell that girl is crazy for you,” Jiraiya told him, and he had the bruises to prove it. “Now I’m not going to lie to you, a marriage won’t be easy like any relationship. There will be ups and downs but trust me I get the feeling you two will work out fine. Just as long as you are there for each other.”
“You think so?” Naruto asked a little hopeful.
“Hey have I ever let you down before?” Jiraiya smirked and then noticed the scowl on the younger boy. “Oh come on, name one time?”
“You threw me off a cliff, you took all my money and never paid me back, you show me something and instead of sticking around to help, you go off to peek at women while not giving me any tips or help with training.”
“I said one thing!”
In another room Temari was getting the final touches on her own gown with Shizune and Sakura helping her out. Temari was just as, if not more nervous as Naruto. She had on a white kimono that had a red obi belt, she had placed the two fans Naruto had given her in them. It felt right to use those fans for this day, plus her usual battle fan was a bit impractical at the moment. There were golden flowers on the lower part of her dress.
The veil was off to the side as the girls place the makeup on her face.
“Temari stop moving,” Sakura told her, “this isn’t easy if you keep moving.”
“Sorry,” Temari had a very hard time sitting still. She knew this day had been coming for awhile now but now that it was here. She couldn’t remember being this nervous in her life, and she didn’t know why.
“You know it’s okay to be nervous,” Shizune said to the younger woman.
“I’m not nervous!”
Shizune only game a small knowing smile, “It’s only natural for you to be, although I don’t see why. Naruto-kun, likes you that much everyone can see. Plus, you seem to like him.”
Temari blushed a bit at having her feelings for Naruto pointed out in the open like that. “It’s not that...what if I screw this marriage up? I mean it’s not like my parents were good examples.”
“You never talk about your parents,” Sakura said realising this.
“There’s a reason for it,” Temari sighed. “There was no love in that marriage or if there was, then it left long before I could remember. I just don’t want this, to turn into that. I mean, I know I have my faults. I can be bossy, stubborn and short tempered.”
“Sounds a bit like Naruto already.” Sakura said to her. Temari gave her a dirty look but Shizune only laughed a little.
“Naruto-kun is a little like that,” Shizune told her. “But I wouldn’t worry too much. He adores you and he has a big heart. I can’t really see him being mad for long with anyone, without good reason that is. But as long as you both try to work things through it should be fine.”
“I hope you’re right,” Temari sighed.
-Hokage Tower, Top Level-
Everyone was sitting themselves down waiting for the wedding to start off. Kurenai and Asuma were there as they watched over their teams. Everyone was in formal dress for this, and they could see many important faces. The major clans were here, the parents of the children too, council members of both Konoha and Suna. It seemed that everyone who was anyone was here. Asuma also caught the ANBU guard among them as well, or at least a couple of the lesser skilled ones. He knew that there had to be a lot of security for this day.
Also Asuma wished he was in better form, Lee got in a lucky shot and his ribs still hurt like hell on the side. He really should talk to Gai about the kind of training he was putting that kid through to punch like that.
“Are you alright?” Kurenai asked seeing his discomfort.
“I’ll be fine, besides I don’t think anyone got out of that place without some kind of injury. That boy is scary when drunk.”
Kurenai chuckled as she couldn’t believe a young boy like that had been so bad with just one drink in him. Then again looking at Kiba with s bruised lip and Shino limping a bit she just might believe it. Then she saw two people entering and it got all her attention. It wasn’t that it was just two people, it was because of who those two people were. In walked in both Anko and Kakashi, together it would seem.
“Are they together?” Kurenai asked as she pointed it out to Asuma. He was just as surprised as she was, Kakashi had never said anything about seeing Anko of all people.
“I can’t believe you nearly made us late,” Anko said to Kakashi a little annoyed with him. “Actually maybe I should have expected this, given how late you usually arrive.”
“You don’t usually say I’m late, I thought we usually ‘arrive’ roughly at the same time?” That earned him a light elbow to the ribs.
“Not that you perv,” she smirked. “Why can’t you be like that all the time and not just in bed?”
Kakashi just shrugged, “I can’t read in bed usually.”
“Can’t believe you read that thing that one night,” Anko muttered.
“You didn’t seem to mind when I read it out loud,” Kakashi chuckled. “In fact you seemed to get a little more frisky after I got to the good parts.”
“Like how ‘frisky’ you were when you found me last night, what the hell happened last night anyway? You found me, and you were all ready to go at it but you were also bruised up.” She asked him. Kakashi sighed as he rubbed the back of his head as he told her exactly what happened. Anko ended up laughing her ass off suddenly a few minutes later.
-Later-
Naruto was waiting at the altar that had been set up. Iruka was with him, and Tsunade was at the altar in her white Hokage robes. Konohamaru was waiting next to Iruka with the wedding rings grinning like mad to be a part of this. Naruto was a little nervous as everyone waiting for the ceremony to start off. He felt a little better about this but this was a huge day for him. Today he would have a wife and be a part of something. He was scared, happy, nervous, and worried all in one. His stomach hadn’t felt like this since the last time he drank spoiled milk.
He grinned to himself as that had been a very long time ago. That was one of the many little things that Temari did for him. She always made sure that the food they had was never spoiled. He also liked having someone that would cook for him, help him clean and share in the chores. It was nice to have someone share his life he started to realise. Just when he was starting to think more on it, the music started.
It was a wind flute and drum beat as everyone looked to the stairs. Up came Moegi first as she sprinkled flower pedals. Then came Sakura walking up and then a figure in white was seen. Naruto couldn’t stop staring as Temari made her way towards him. She was being walked to the altar by Baki as he was the closest thing to a father figure she had. He hadn’t seen her in the wedding dress yet but she looked amazing to him. He was captivated by how it could show off a hint of her figure but Temari had a grace about her. He wished he could see through the veil she had on.
Soon both of them knelt by the altar.
When everyone was in position Tsunade was ready to start the ceremony. She started off with a prayer to the spirits to watch over, protect and to bless this union. After she got through the long and boring part she got to her own part of the ceremony.
“We are gathered here today to witness not only the bonding between two souls, but between our villages.” Tsunade said to the crowd. “In front of all here, we are to witness this union. The couple have decided to make their own vows.”
Naruto felt a little nervous speaking in front of everyone, but he looked at Temari. She looked beautiful from what he could make out and suddenly nothing really mattered. He wasn’t sure what to do for vows, he had written so many things but they ended up as scraps of paper on the floor of the room. So he thought he would just say what he felt.
“Temari-chan,” Naruto said with a slight pause. “I wasn’t sure how things were going to work out between us when we first were put together. I didn’t know you at all and I was worried we wouldn’t work out very well.”
“But then I got to know you, I saw the side of you that I know you try to hide from the world. I’ve seen you’re softer and caring side, I’ve seen how smart and talented you are too. You’ve been helping me become a better ninja and a better person. I know I have a lot to learn in life, but I’m glad that I won’t do it alone.”
“I’m glad that you’ll be by my side and you can count on me being by your side as well. I want us to be happy together and to have the kind of family that we both wanted growing up. If there is anyone in the world that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, then I’m glad it’s you. You’re one of my most precious people and I promise to care for you, protect you for life.”
Temari felt the sting of tears in her eyes threatening to show up. She did her best to not cry but it was hard. She knew that Naruto meant every single word of it and it touched her.
“Naruto, you’re always surprising.” Temari said softly to him. “Always unpredictable and I’m glad for it. You’ve helped to bring joy and happiness into my life. You did so much for me and my family, because of you I’m closer to my brothers than ever. I’ve seen that deep down you’re a wonderful person. You’re the most caring and warm man in the world. It’s my honour to be your wife.”
Tsunade smirked as she watched the two youngsters. She poured the sake in a few small cups on the altar and gave them to the bride and groom. Naruto was a little hesitant, but he took a breath and gulped it down. He did his best to hold it down as well he really didn’t like alcohol all that much. Temari faired better than that, although she wasn’t used to it.
“The rings then.” The Hokage said and Konohamaru came up with the rings. Naruto took it and slipped it onto Temari’s finger. He said a short vow to her and soon Temari did the same.
“Let these rings symbolise the bond between the two of you.” Tsunade sighed as it was finally over. Although it was Naruto’s wedding she just didn’t like being all ‘official’ like this. “Now kiss the bridge and you two are married.”
Temari lifted her veil and Naruto was surprised by how she looked, with the red lips and the eye liner she looked ever more exotic to him. He felt his heard racing at the image before him, slowly he leaned forward and she mirrored him as they kissed in front of everyone. There were celebrations as people applauded or shouted out. Naruto and Temari pulled away as they could only smile at the other, they were now officially husband and wife.
After the crowd died down, the reception was in full force. People brought up tables and moved the chairs around as food was brought up. As this was being set up, people came up to congratulate the new couple.
“So how’s it feel to be married man?” Kiba asked Naruto.
He grinned happily as he rubbed the back of his head, “Weird but in a good way.”
“I just can’t get over you’re the first to be married,” Ino sighed as she got s dreamy look on her face. “I can’t wait for my own wedding.”
“I pity the poor man already,” Shikamaru sighed.
“What was that?” Ino said angrily to him giving him a death glare.
As the party went on as people started to dance as the music was playing, others talked amongst themselves and all in all it was a pretty good celebration. There was a little tension between some of the guests, mainly due to the fact that that scars of the invasion could still be seen in the village. Yet another reason why Tsunade had guards hidden all over the place, as an assassination on any Suna member would have ruined everything.
“Hey you want to dance Temari-chan?” Naruto asked seeing everyone starting to get on the dance floor.
“Sure.” Temari said taking his hand.
“Wait, since when do you dance?” Sakura asked in surprise.
“Temari-chan has been teaching me,” Naruto said a little embarrassed. When he had heard there was dancing at this type of thing he had been worried. He told Temari about it and she took it upon herself to teach him. After all if he was going to be Hokage someone had to teach him all the things he would need to know.
“This I have to see,” Sakura smiled as she stood right there to enjoy the show.
Naruto was a little nervous; he remembered how he had stepped on her feet a lot at the start. He got better but this was in public. He felt her put his hands into position and he looked up, she was smiling at him and gave him a small nod of confidence. He felt a bit better as he slowly started to lead. It was a little slow going and a bit awkward. She was taller than him of course, but soon he started to get more confident. He may not have been the best but he could at least go with the flow of the music.
Many of his friends actually stopped to watch them, although he didn’t notice. He was too busy looking at Temari, she looked great this day and it was strange. Before he had been so against this, but now, now he felt like this was where he wanted to be in life.
. Hinata was sitting down at a table as she watched everyone, she wasn’t really the type to mingle. Her father was doing plenty of that anyway. Although it had been some time since she first heard that Naruto would be married it wasn’t until this moment that she knew he would never be hers. It was something that she had been trying to come to terms with and now it was truly sinking in.
She looked to see Naruto and Temari together and despite everything, she just couldn’t hate the girl. She made Naruto happy and that was all she really wanted him to be. She had seen him struggle all his life and it was good to see him finally getting what he deserved in life.
But she wasn’t the only person noticing things, her own team mate Kiba had noticed her sitting all alone. She looked a little down and he was wondering why. Well he was going over there to make her feel better, she was his team mate and good friend after all.
“Hey Hinata,” Kiba said as he arrived next to her.
She jumped in surprise at his arrival, “Oh! Kiba-kun, I’m sorry I didn’t notice you.”
“That’s okay, so why do you look so down?” He asked her only to see her shifting a little nervously. He looked to see the dancing and he thought that she was feeling left out. He knew that she was shy, maybe hoping to be asked to dance. Well he didn’t like to see her down so he might as well go and cheer her up.
“Hey you want to dance?” He asked her with a friendly smile.
Hinata sat there shocked did she just hear him right? She did admit that a part of her wanted to join in, but was he asking her as a friend or something more? Isn’t that what people who liked someone else did, they asked another person to dance, maybe she was just reading too much into it. Hinata must have taken a little too long to answer as she found him grabbing one of her hands. He gently pulled her up to her feet and led her to the dance floor. She blushed as he gently pulled them into a slow dance.
She was nervous at first but soon got in step with him, she was actually very surprised. Kiba was a good dancer.
“Kiba-kun, where did you learn to do this?”
Kiba blushed himself as he told her in a low voice, “Don’t tell anyone okay? My mom and sister thought that I should know and both taught me.” Hinata giggled at the mental image as he scowled at her. “Hey, it’s not that funny.”
“Sorry, I won’t tell anyone.”
“Thanks,” He sighed.
Temari and Naruto were already on their third dance for the night when she noticed Gaara and Matsuri were standing close by each other, but nothing else. She mentally sighed, the girl kept stealing glances at him, but she was too nervous to act. Plus Gaara she doubted noticed or if he did, knew why she did it. She sighed seeing that, she knew that with Gaara’s past, the odds of him finding any girl that could like him was pretty low. Too many of their generation were afraid of him.
“What’s wrong?” Naruto asked seeing her worried look.
“Just watching something a bit painful,” she motioned with her head towards the two.
Naruto looked over a little and was confused, but he soon remembered that the girl was supposed to like Gaara. And given the way she kept stealing looks he could see she did, hell he used to do that do Sakura in class all the time –not that is got him anywhere- but still a plan was forming.
“Hey Temari-chan, I think I have an idea but make sure Gaara doesn’t do anything to me okay?”
Temari looked at him confused until he explained his plan, it could be risky but it could also be a bit of fun.
Matsuri was nervous to say the least, she was in a foreign village for the first time in her life. Although it seemed like a nice place, she couldn’t help but notice the damaged sections of the city. She felt sad that her people had done some of that. They were at times a hard people, but they were honourable. But that was one of the reasons for having this marriage in the first place, to heal the wounds of that day. She also couldn’t stop glancing at Gaara, he was wearing more formal Suna clothing. It was all brown and had a little red here and there, it was very nice looking and he looked handsome in it.
Ever since that day he saved her she felt more than just appreciation. But she was just a rookie, she wasn’t that skilled yet, so how was she to ask him to dance? She watched all the people dancing and she wished she could do it too, it looked like fun. She sighed softly to herself resigned to sit on the side lines, casting little glances at her secret crush.
“Hey Matsuri.”
The girl jumped at being addressed and found herself facing Naruto Uzumaki.
“Oh! Hello Naruto-san, and congratulations.”
Naruto smiled to her, “Thanks, hey you want to dance? Temari-chan is taking a break and I still want to dance but I need a partner.”
“M-me!?” Matsuri wasn’t sure what to say. She would like Gaara to have asked her but he didn’t seem to want to dance. Plus Naruto did seem like a nice person, although before she could say anything he took her hand and led her to the dance area. She blushed a bit at the close contact but he seemed to be a gentleman about placing his hands. Truth be told, she had never been this close to a boy before.
This didn’t go unnoticed as Gaara watched Naruto take Matsuri away to dance. He watched with that blank look on his face but his eyes were strangely focused on the two of them. He watched as Naruto and Matsuri started out, he said something and she smiled and then laughed a bit. They seemed to be enjoying themselves and Gaara was feeling slightly, annoyed because of it.
He didn’t see why he would be, after all they were both his friends, something he had little of in life. They were having a good time, so why wasn’t he happy for that? Ever since he had started to open up, he found new feelings creeping up on him. Sometimes they were pleasant, other times they weren’t, sometimes he was so confused by what he felt he got frustrated with them.
“Hey there little brother,” Temari said as she walked up to him, “Why don’t we share a dance?”
Gaara looked at her for a moment before speaking, “I’m not sure I can.”
“Sure it is, it’s easy. Hell if I can teach Naruto so well I think I can do the same for you. Please? I want to be able to dance with my brothers just once at my own wedding.” She told him gently.
Gaara knew how important this day was for his big sister, maybe he could at least try for her sake. “What do I do?”
Temari got him into position and gently started to lead him into the dance, it wasn’t easy but Gaara was a fast learner. She also couldn’t help but notice that his eyes always strayed to Matsuri and she had to hold off on her grin. Maybe Gaara did feel something under all that sand of his.
“If you want to dance that bad with her you can just ask you know.”
Gaara cast his eyes to her, almost like he had no idea what she was talking about.
“Gaara, you’ve been staring at them for awhile now. I don’t know what’s going on but if you really would like to dance, just go over then and cut in. Besides I think I’d like to get my husband back for the next dance.”
Gaara mulled things over, he couldn’t be certain but he felt something was going on here. But then there were these strange feelings he got. He never felt anything like it before, when he saw her laugh and smile it felt, like there was a glimmer of light. But when he saw that it was Naruto making her smile, he felt this hot feeling in his chest. It wasn’t like anger or rage, but it felt similar to those.
While he was thinking, Temari was gently moving them over to the couple. She caught Naruto’s eye and gave him a small nod. He gave a small smile as he moved himself and Matsuri towards them. It wasn’t long until Naruto ‘accidentally’ bumped into Temari.
“Ah Temari-chan there you are,” Naruto said smiling up at her. “I thought you wanted to take a break, are you ready for another dance?”
“Well if Gaara doesn’t mind?” She looked at her little brother how just shrugged. So she took Matsuri’s place, with said girl looking a little uncomfortable. “Although I hate to leave Matsuri without a partner. Gaara, do me a favour and at least keep her company until the dance ends will you?”
The newly weds were already on their way away from them, before either of them could say anything. Matsuri was blushing as she was left alone with Gaara. She didn’t think he would want to dance with her, so she turned to tell him that she was find. She never even got to open her mouth to say a word, she just was stunned when he saw the sight before her. There was Gaara simply holding out his hand to her. Her whole face went red as she shyly took his hand, when he moved closer she was certain she was inventing new shades of red with her face.
“Are you alright?” Gaara asked her. “You seem too warm.”
“I-I’m fine,” She said as she tried to force her blush down, but it was hard. She was dancing with her crush in such a way that she could have only dreamt of.
Meanwhile Temari and Naruto were watching the scene with matching grins. “I hope this breaks the ice between them.” Temari said.
“Sure it will, this is my brilliant plan remember?”
Temari gave a soft smile, “Well you do come up with the most interesting plans.” Naruto just grinned his fox like grin at her as they danced on.
“Hey you mind if I steal you’re husband for a dance?” Sakura’s voice said to the couple.
Temari smiled at the younger girl, “Sure but I want him back intact.”
“Only if he behaves.” Sakura smiled back to her.
“Hey, I’m standing right here you know!” Naruto pouted making the two girls giggle as Sakura led her friend a few feet away. Naruto had to admit there had been times when he wished he could have gotten this close to her. But those were the thoughts of a deep crush, an unrequited crush. But things had been going well between them. They were closer, but more as friends than anything which to Naruto was just fine.
Sakura was surprised by how well Naruto was doing, “You’re not bad at this.”
“Temari-chan is a great teacher, although I thought you’d be with Sasuke-teme or did Ino beat you to it?”
Sakura got a scowl on her face. “I could have if Ino-pig had let me have a chance, every time I went to ask she just had to ask at that point as well. Then we argued and then Sasuke-kun was already gone.” She sighed then. “I wanted at least one dance with him for the wedding.”
“Well its his loss,” Naruto smiled at her. “Besides I think Lee was looking forward to a dance.”
Sakura giggled, “How can he dance with a broken foot? What happened for him to get a broken foot anyway?”
“I think it was when he tried to kick the steel support beam or when Ero-sennin summoned a toad onto him to calm him down.” Naruto through out loud. Then again that whole fight had been kind of a blur to him, things had happened to fast that he hadn’t even noticed the start of the fight.
“What were you guys doing last night?” Sakura wondered, she had seen all the males sporting some kind of injury.
Naruto blushed a bit remembering the twins and thought better than to mention them. “It was just the normal kind of party, but then Ero-senin gave Lee some sake. Apparently Lee is a light weight and he gets really weird and dangerous when he drinks.”
“Seriously?” Sakura’s eye brows shot up at that. Although Lee was already kind of weird, the fact he could even more weird and dangerous on top of it, was fairly surprising to her. As they danced she had to admit that the moment was very nice.
“Hey Naruto, you’re happy about how things turned out right?” She asked him.
He looked at her confused for a moment, “Yeah, I mean we have our arguments now and then but overall I’m really glad to have married her. I really am happy about all of this, I know I wasn’t at first, but well things changed. Why do you ask?”
“No reason, I was just curious,” She told him. Although on the inside she had hoped that things were good for him. She had been doing a lot of thinking with all the down time and personal training she had with Temari, as she talked with the older girl. She had slowly over time been seeing Naruto in a better light, not as the annoying prankster from school, but as a really good friend. She felt guilt for all the times she had been mean to him, so lately she had been slowly changing that.
She had learned just how important her team was to her, she knew she had been pretty bad in the past. The Forest of Death had been a wake up call for her, and she had started to grow both as a ninja and as a person. She just hoped that she could make it up to Naruto, by being a better friend to him for his life.
At the moment she was glad that he finally got some happiness in his life.
“Hello there Naruto,” said an unfamiliar voice. Naruto turned to face a man with bandages over his body. He hadn’t met the man but from the looks of him he knew that this was that Danzo guy he heard about. “I was wondering if I could get a moment of your time.”
For some reason, Naruto doubted that was a request.
