The Clock Strikes At Midnight…Maybe
Prologue
What the hell?! Okay, okay, stop the movie! That's enough. What a complete friggin lie. Happily ever after. Princess. The shoe thing. Read my lips. It. Was. All. A. Big. Lie. None of that crap is true.
First off, uh, hello, life after marriage? That's all that happens? They go live happily ever after? Wrong! Prince Charming? Are you stupid? The guy can't be described as Charming unless you're talking to one of his fan-girls. The shoe thing? Never happened. I-The Princess I mean, would never be so stupid as to run off without a shoe. And I guess I should tell you anyway, Cinderella wasn't a girl. Go on laugh if you want, but I'm telling the truth. Believe it! And who would know other than Cinderella himself!
Here's the real story. As it actually happened. Don't ask how I know other's deep thoughts cause, uh, hello, Fairy Tale anyone? If I say that's what they were thinking that's what they were thinking. And besides, my mom's the one who wrote it down for me. She says it'll be a great story to pass down. She obviously never expected Disney to get a hold of it and mutilate the story beyond recognition.
But anyway, I've got a story to tell. And the sooner I tell it the better off I'll be. "Prince Charming's" warned me that if I don't get it over quick this'll be the last time he'll "let" me tell it. Tch. Whatever. I'm gonna tell it how ever many times I want! Believe it! And let's see how long he'll last with out any…you know…! Anyway, on with the story! As told by me, Naruto Uzumaki!
Two Weeks before I moved into town…
"And I now pronounce you, husband and husband. You may kiss you mate." The old priest smiled as the couple turned to one another and sealed the deal.
Cheers erupted the minute their lips met and the overwhelming volume of it by all rights should have deafened them. But they were completely involved in their own world. Possibly too completely.
"Save it for the honeymoon!" The sharp female voice was followed by a huge pat on the dark-haired groom's back and the couple were forced to part for air. The coughed slightly as he turned to glare at his sister-in-law.
"Temari…" The shorted one growled. His teal eyes were narrowed as he took in the giggling figure of his sister. She merely shrugged and hooked her arm around his husband's and stuck out her tongue.
"C-congratulations, Elder Brother Neiji, Brother-in-Law Gaara." Teal and white eyes softened as they turned to the King's sister on the arm of her step-brother, leading her up to them. She blushed at the attention but her happy smile was genuine.
"Thank you, Hinata." Gaara said as she was released to take his arm. Her dark head bowed in her modesty and she trembled as she took his arm. He covered her hand with his and smiled lightly up to the face of his new husband.
"Yes, congratulations Elder Brother Neiji and Brother Gaara. I wish you happiness." The short and mandatory congratulations from the King's Step-brother was offered without even a change in the stoic face. Raven hair fell into the pale face briefly as he bowed his head but when he brought it back up, onyx orbs were unreadable.
"Thank you, Sasuke." He nodded his head and the young prince moved to the side to allow them to pass. The two kings and Crown princesses walked past and he took a place behind them,.
"We're happy for you, Gaara." The redhead's other sibling, Kankuro and his wife, Tenten were the next couple they received praise from. They were acknowledged and placed themselves behind the raven prince as they followed the couples out to greet the subjects of Konoha.
"Are you positive that you can watch over this place, Hinata? I don't want you to be overwhelmed by it. If you need us to stay here we can." Neiji has a soft spot for his little Hina-chan that would shock and astound so many.
"I can take care of it, Elder Brother. I know my first day will be hard but I can do it." She sounded sure too. There was a strength in her voice that gave them confidence in her. "And Sasuke will be there if I need help. I don't want you and Brother Gaara to miss out on your honeymoon for me."
"That's right, Neiji. She can do it. I've been doing the same job in Suna since you two started dating and I know she can handle it. Have a little faith." Temari nudged her brother-in-law playfully.
"I have faith. It's just not an easy job and I don't want her to feel like she has to take on everything by herself."
"In other words, he wants you to ask Sasuke if you need any help removing people from the palace. Or kick their ass for trying to play on your sympathy. There are a lot of people who come to us for problems that could be solved by throwing them money." Gaara squeezed her hand as he talked lowly in her ear.
"I know. But I won't let them use me." She answered with a soft smile. "I won't let you down, Brother."
"You never could." Neiji murmured lightly as they entered the sunlight. Guards held back the swarms of screaming people all wishing their newest king and his husband happiness. Two carriages waited at the end of the path; the white horses stomping in impatience.
"We'll be at the Sunaha Castle for two weeks, remember. When we get back, we'll expect everything to be running smoothly." Neiji said in a mock-stern tone to his siblings. He kissed Temari on the cheek and passed her to her brother as Gaara passed Hinata to Sasuke.
"Everything will be." Hinata smiled and kissed her brother. "Are you going with them, Temari-chan?"
The dark blonde shook her head. "I'm going with Kankuro and Tenten to Suna. I've got my own kingdom to watch over while the love-birds are on honeymoon."
"That's right. It'll better still be standing when this is over, Temari." Her brother's voice was harsh sounding but they caught the joke inside it.
"Don't worry. We'll make sure Kankuro behaves." Temari and Tenten said together and giggled at one another. He just shook his head and sighed. It's not like he did anything anyway.
"Watch out for her, Sasuke. I don't want to hear of a single incident while I'm gone." Neiji narrowed his eyes on the ones of his step-brother. The black-haired prince nodded but the stoicism was infected with slight irritation.
The couple entered the carriage and the other three disappeared into the one behind it. Hinata waved as they vanished and the screaming behind them died down somewhat. The people who remained behind were all still screaming but for the Crown Princess and the raven Prince to acknowledge them.
"Are you ready to go back inside, Hinata?" Sasuke asked, his voice void of emotion. She smiled and nodded. She hooked her arm in her brother's offered one. He led them back inside where a reception with the nobles was to be held and relinquished her to her maid. He watched her mount the stairs and vanish beyond his sight. The doors closed behind him and the guards in the hall dispersed.
When he was alone, he dropped the mask and sighed. He raked a hand through his hair and groaned. Today was only going to get longer now that he had to play the part of the perfect gentleman and escort Hinata during the party. And all he wanted to do was get away.
Uzumaki Interruption #1
Okay, so by now you probably have some questions. Like, what the hell is Sunaha? Well, the two great kingdoms in the area are Konoha and Suna. The Kingdom of the Leaves and the Kingdom of Sand. Neiji and Gaara rule these two but on the border is a town called Sunaha in recognition that it's ruled by both. So to prevent feuds, the kings decided to marry and live at the castle there. At least that's what the records say. Truth is, Gaara and Neiji met at Sunaha and built the castle in preparation for their marriage. They're in love so it wasn't a marriage of convenience.
This all takes place two weeks before me and my "family" move into town so how do I know this? My mom! She's friggin amazing at this.
And if one fan girl so much as tried to drag him away so they could "discuss" marriage and "wish his brother happiness" then he was kicking them out. He didn't give a damn who he pissed off. The idea of being forced into wedlock with one of those friggin harpies was terrifying.
But he had to be there to watch over Hinata. So he walked up the opposite stairs to his quarters. He had to be dressed for this damn thing.
