Epilogue:
I stared blankly at the mirror looking into my reflection, Shizune san did a fine job into my face with the light make up and faint blush she put on my face and a light shade of red on my lips just to make me look lively. My wedding kimono although elegant and classy is unlike the usual for it was black and looks more like a mourning kimono than a wedding kimono. I sighed before putting on a forced small smile on my lips even though I want nothing but to cry on the spot it's just that going on with this wedding is harder than I thought it would be.
Before I could turn into an emotional wreck again, Naruto entered the room grinning upon seeing me but pouted when he saw the sad look on my face.
"Do smile Hinata chan it is your wedding after all."
No matter how much I tried to keep my tears from falling, hearing the word wedding made my tears fall. Naruto being a good man and friend of mine embraced me patting my back as I cry over his shoulder staining his black kimono with my tears.
"Please stop you crying Hinata chan he wouldn't want to see you cry you know how much he detests crying besides today is your wedding and the bride is always the happiest during weddings not the saddest."
"I know Naruto kun but it's just so hard, why does he have to be selfish and let me go through this, why does life to be unfair tell me Naruto kun why?" I said crying as I pound into Naruto's chest.
Naruto let me pound into his chest as with his hands on his sides and his face facing down not looking at me for he was holding tears from falling into his eyes feeling sorry for me and my fate and only said, "Hinata chan…"
If it wasn't for my younger sister Hanabi entering my room I wouldn't have stop pounding into Naruto's chest.
In a soft voice which is uncharacteristic of her Hanabi said, "Hinata nee you are already hurting Naruto and seeing you so broken hurts me also. Father and the guests are already waiting for you outside do you still want to continue to marry him or not and stay here crying, hurting not only yourself but him as well for not having the courage to go through this. I know you are stronger than this Hinata nee, you already went through a lot just to have this wedding happen and now that it is happening you will just cower yourself away?"
"She's right Hinata chan, you've been through a lot with tears shed too much to count just to make this happen. You even fought against your father just to make him say yes and you even pleaded with your elders and Tsunade baa chan even though they all thought you are going nuts for wanting this to happen. I bet Sasuke would even give anything just for this to happen however… but that doesn't matter for you getting married to him is the important thing right now so what would it be Hinata chan?" Naruto said as his blue eyes are piercing through my white tear soaked eyes.
I nodded and wiped the tears from my eyes with the handkerchief Naruto offered to me.
"Thank you for your words they give me strength and courage to go through this until the end and I am sorry if I hurt you both and for doubting myself to go through with this."
Naruto grinned, raised his thumb and said, "I knew you are strong Hinata chan dattebayo!"
Hanabi embraced me and said, "No more tears for the rest of the ceremony alright?"
I smiled genuinely and nodded, "Hai, I will not cry for the rest of the ceremony."
"Well then let's go to the wedding aisle and get this wedding started!" Naruto said with his usual high energy voice.
Both Naruto and Hanabi handed me over to my father who is still looking serious although he smiled a small smile when he saw me.
"For a while I thought you will not go through this. But for what it's worth I am really proud of you."
I smiled and placed my arm around his as we walk together. My wedding is being held here in the former Uchiha compound I made a mental note to myself to thank my friends and family for doing a wonderful job at the compound. After Pain's invasion the Uchiha compound was the most ruined and nothing was left in the place except for the rubble, however when my friends and family knew of my desire to marry Sasuke kun they work double time in cleaning the compound, planting flowers and preparing it for this day. Although I still want to cry, seeing my family and friends smile at me made me happy although this is a sad wedding.
After my father led me to the aisle where the grave of my soon to be husband was with Tsunade sama in front smiled to me and anounced, "We are all gathered here to witness a wedding unlike any another, a wedding of souls between Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Hinata."
I knew my tears are threatening to fall again and Tsunade sama saw it and said to me in a soft voice only for me to hear, "Hinata do you want us to continue this later?"
I look beside me where Sasuke's grave is and smiled saying to myself, "Sasuke kun please give me enough courage to go through our wedding." I felt a cold yet warm breeze of wind and I knew that it was Sasuke.
"No, Sasuke kun and I will go through this wedding now." I answered to Tsunade sama.
Tsunade sama nodded and said, "As the hokage of Konoha I will commence the wedding of Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Hyuuga. If there is anyone who would like to stop the wedding kindly speak now or forever hold your peace."
There is a deafening silence and Tsunade sama cleared her throat before continuing, "Does he Uchiha Sasuke take you Hyuuga Hinata to be his wife?"
"He does." I said.
"And do you Hyuuga Hinata take Uchiha Sasuke to be your husband?"
"I do."
"The ring please." Tsunade said and Naruto walked towards us and handed over a ring which is the Uchiha heirloom that was miraculously saved from the Uchiha compound's destruction.
"Hinata this ring will symbolize your love and unity in marriage with Sasuke." Tsunade sama said and handed over the ring to me.
The moment Tsunade sama gave me the ring and I slipped it in my left ring finger the tears I have been keeping from falling throughout the ceremony started to fall.
"Hinata chan this will be over soon." Naruto said giving me a sympathetic look.
"I know but it's just not fair why does he have to die and we fall in love, why didn't we fell in love before he died why?" I said crying and I know this is a sign of weakness especially in to my father and elders eyes but neither spoke instead they lowered their heads in sympathy.
"I know how much you are hurting but he's alive here inside your heart and mind and I know he's here with you now on your wedding. I may not know Uchiha personally but I'm sure he wants to see you smiling for him now that you two are finally married." Tsunade sama said.
I wiped tears from my eyes and smiled for Sasuke, Tsunade sama is right that Sasuke is alive inside my heart and mind and to our friends memories as well.
Tsunade sama smiled upon seeing me smile and said, "I now present you Sasuke and Hinata husband and wife and with my power as hokage I am proud to present to everyone for the first time Mrs. Uchiha Hinata."
I turned and saw everyone at their feet clapping their hands for me and Sasuke kun and again I felt the cold yet warm breeze of wind. Although there is no forever and happy ending for us at this lifetime, at least we both have something to look forward to when my time will finally come, where I know Sasuke kun will welcome me with open arms and spend our eternity together.
Somewhere in heaven
"I knew my son chose correctly in marrying that girl." Fugaku said proudly.
"Oh dear." Mikoto said with tears on her eyes clutching her husband's arm tight.
"Pity Hinata can't see Sasuke there beside her smiling." Itachi added.
"But she can feel him." An old man with long white hair and beard whose eyes are closed tightly shut said.
"She does, you are a god father in their wedding you know." Itachi retuned.
"I am that is why on their next life there won't be any more conflicts and tragedies for them."
