NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
"Oh my god! We're late for Sakura's wedding!" I cried when I realized what time of day it was. Tsuchi sighed and waved me on, grinning slightly when I grabbed his hand and took off running toward where Sakura's reception was being held. I sighed in relief when I walked in and everyone was still there. I scanned the room, quickly finding my favorite pink headed person talking to two people. The blonde with weird whisker marks on both his cheeks had his arm around Sakura's waist. So I assumed it was Naruto, because I vaguely remember her calling me at midnight one night exclaiming Naruto had finally proposed after 5 years of dating.
"Come on, Hikari. Don't wanna keep her waiting anymore. You know how she gets when she's pissed." Tsuchi sighed, linking his arm in mine and leading me over to the group. I smiled gratefully at my little brother, not knowing what I'd do without him. I was five years older than him, but he still treated me like a best friend. Even if he was just my cute little brother. We walked up behind Sakura and I pressed my finger against my lip when the black haired guy Sakura was talking to glanced over her shoulder at me. I grinned when he went back to talking with Naruto and Sakura, his lips only curling upward slightly.
"Surprise!" I cried, jumping on to Sakura's back, receiving a load of cuss words in response. I giggled, tightening my hold on her when she tried to throw me off.
"Hikari?!" Sakura cried when she finally realized who it was. I laughed and let go of her, grunting when she spun around and caught me in a bear hug. You never want to get in a bear hug with her. She doesn't know her own strength.
"Can't breathe," I gasped, smiling weakly when she immediately loosened her hold. I heard Tsuchi grunt in surprise when Sakura reached back and pulled him into a group hug. I sighed and leaned into her hug. I missed her so much. When I first got the invitation to the wedding, I was surprised. I mean, I knew she loved me, but I'd thought that with all that was going on, she'd have more important things then worry about inviting me and Tsuchi. I'd thought she was going to forget about us like everyone else had . . .
"Are you going to introduce us?" Naruto asked after Sakura finally let us go. She glanced over her shoulder apolitically and grabbed my hand, pulling me forward.
"Sorry, this beautiful girl here is Asa Hikari and her little brother Tsuchi." Sakura replied. I smiled warmly and held out my hand toward Naruto. He smiled back and grasped my hand firmly.
"And I assume you are Naruto?" I asked, noticing the ring on his finger. He chuckled and nodded, reaching over and dragged Sakura over against his side. She leaned into him gratefully, laying her head on his shoulder.
"And this is Sasuke," Sakura told me, motioning toward the black haired dude next to them. Before I could say anything, someone bumped into me from behind and knocked me into Sasuke's arms. And when I tried to apologize to him, I was pushed away from him. When I looked up, some blonde haired chick was pressing herself against him.
"I'm so sorry, Sasuke-kun!" She whined, completely ignoring everyone around her. I glanced at Sakura and shook my head when she opened her mouth to say something. I started to turn and go get something to drink when someone slipped their hand into mine and jerked me to their side.
"I'm not the one you bumped into. You need to apologize to my date." Sasuke replied coldly, ignoring the confused look on my face. After a few moments of awkward silence, I decided to play along. I wrapped my arm around his waist and smiled sweetly at the blonde. She had her hair up in a high pony tail and her bangs covered her right eye. She was wearing a neon pink dress that was way too short and way too low cut for my tastes.
"Hey, I'm Asa Hikari," I said brightly when she just stood there looking at me. Well, more like glaring at me, but anyways. She smiled tightly at me, narrowing her eyes.
"I'm Yamanaka Ino. Pleased to meet you," she replied, venom just oozing out of her voice. She grabbed my hand and squeezed a little too tightly. I knew what she was trying to do and squeezed back even harder. Her eyes widen, and she pulled her hand away quickly. I just smiled innocently at her, pretending not to know why she pulled away like that. I glanced at Tsuchi and I could see he was biting his bottom lip to avoid bursting out into laughter.
"Aren't you forgetting something, Ino?" Sakura called when Ino started to stalk off. Ino stiffened and glared at me over her shoulder.
"Oh, I'm sorry for bumping into you earlier," she apologized reluctantly. My smile got even bigger, causing Ino to growl under her breath and storm off over to another girl who had shoulder length red hair and glasses. When Ino got over there, the red head turned and glowered in my direction. Feeling brave, I grinned and waved at her, causing her to humph and turn her back toward me. I giggled and glanced up at Sasuke, just now remembering I was basically hugging myself to Sasuke.
