Now...

ON WITH THE STORY!!!

HERE WE GO!

"Ha!" Screamed Nori, launching ten kunai one right after the other. "Take that, Iruka!"

He backflipped, dodging them, and countered by sending about fifteen shuriken straight towards her vital spots. "I'd rather not, thanks!"

She growled as she dropped and rolled out of the way. As she came up again, she launched a shuriken at him. It was a single shuriken, and he expected some sort of trick, so he simply dodged it, then looked around for more weapons coming towards him, forgetting about Nori for a split second.

That split second was what she had been counting on. "Don't overanalyze, Iruka." She said as she knocked him to the ground, knelt on top of him, and held her kunai to his throat. She pressed down with it until it drew blood.

Then, they both smiled.

She pulled the kunai off his throat and slid it into her ninja bag, and he pulled his out and nicked her throat as well. At the same time, they wiped the blood off with their thumbs, then pressed it into the other's wound. Then, they looked up at the Third Hokage, barely able to contain their smiles.

The Third smiled down at them fondly. "You now have become part of each other. You will each carry the other's blood with you forever, no matter what. Even in the face of danger, you will know that the other is with you, their blood running through your veins. The ceremony you have performed today is acknowledging a bond as deep as the one that runs through every ninja in this village with the village itself. It is a sacred bond, one that can never be broken. It is a heavy responsibility...but it is also a worthwhile one." His face had grown sober, but a smile spread across it at those last words. "You are now life-partners. Congratulations, Nori and Iruka."

As they kissed, their friends and family cheered them on. Nori's parents looked at each other, a little confused.

"Dear...are they married now?" Asked Mrs. Haruno.

"I suppose so, honey." Answered Mr. Haruno. "I'm not entirely sure..."

Sakura looked up at them. "Geeze, you guys. Yeah, they're married now. Life-partners? Get it?" She sighed. "I thought you would've known that ninja weddings were different from normal ones."

She turned back to watching her sister, who was happily and adoringly watching her husband, who was staring back at her lovingly and devotedly. Sakura smiled. 'What a sap.' Then, she giggled. 'It was so obvious she was holding back. If this were a real fight...Iruka would be dead.'

Then, she looked to her left, where Naruto and Sasuke were sitting, and began to dream of the day she would marry Sasuke.

No one noticed when Hatake Kakashi slipped quietly away.

THERE IT GOES!

KYAHHH! This is the end of the beginning of the continuance of the end of the beginning of the first story! WOOOHOOOOO!

(Fancy way to say: First chapter of the sequel!)

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!
