Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (sob)

Pairings: NaruHina, KakaSaku

Author's note: I am not the only one who wrote these fan fiction, my friend Sakura helped me.. Anyway, this is my first attempt to write a fan fiction so please be kind to me...hehehe

And hey, I got a warning… this fanfic got lots of mush and cheese, so don't blame me if you got annoyed by this! Hehehe

Naruto and other nins from his batch are in early 20's. Naruto is already a jounin. Sakura become Tsunade's apprentice. She and Hinata are both Jounins and two of the best medical ninjas of the village. Uchiha Sasuke came back to prove his loyalty to Konoha and become a jounin also. Neji and others are either jounins or anbu. Rock Lee, fortunately has been able to continue his ninja career.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura giggled.

Kakashi's visible eyebrow rose. "Hey hey! I told you not to call me that way."

But Sakura didn't budge. She made her voice louder than usual. "KAKASHI-SENSEI! KAKASHI-SENSEI! KAKASHI-SENSEI! KAKASHI-SENSEI!" she teased.

A stress mark formed on Kakashi's temples and pinched Sakura's nose gently. "My my! Such a naughty little girl! ".

It was Sakura's turn to raise an eyebrow. "I am not a little girl anymore!"

Kakashi grinned beneath his mask. "Oh yes you are" he teased.

"I am not!" Sakura argued.

Kakashi looked at her fiancée's cute facial expression and laughed. Sakura laughed back. It was then Naruto entered the ramen house Kakashi and Sakura was in. He immediately spotted the two lovebirds and smiled.

"Yo Kakashi! Sakura-chan! "he waved and walked towards them. The two turned and smiled as they saw Naruto approaching.

"Yo Naruto-kun! What's up?" Sakura waved back cheerfully as Naruto sat beside Kakashi. Just then the owner approached him for his order.

"Pork ramen please and a plate of gyoza!" he said loudly. He turned to Sakura.

"Nothing much!" he answered back. He then looked at Kakashi.

"Nee Kakashi! How's life goin' ? I'm sure you're very excited on your wedding"

Kakashi smiled. "Of course! If I can pull the day, I will do so."

Sakura whose smile turns to a smirk, suddenly chuckled. Both Naruto and Kakashi looked at her with surprise.

"What?" Kakashi asked.

"Kakashi-sensei... Corny." She teased then she tucked out her tongue, giving him a teasing look.

Naruto and Kakashi sweat dropped at the act. But Kakashi immediately regained his composure and shot Sakura back a tease. "At least not cornier than you!"

"I am not corny, Kakashi-sensei!"

"Yes you are little girl!"

Sakura's eyes went wide and she put both her hands to her waist. "Little girl!"

Kakashi suddenly gave a loud laughter that caused the other customers to look at them. Sakura smiled at first and after a while, joined Kakashi in his laughter.

Naruto smiled at the two. It was nice to see them happy. He remembered the day they've got together. It was the least expected because no people have thought they can be a couple. But no doubt, they are meant for each other.

Something suddenly flickered in Naruto's heart. He knows it is envy. Not that he envy Kakashi for having Sakura, he is sure he's gotten over his, let's say 'teenage infatuation' towards her. Its because of the love Kakashi and Sakura have for each other. As he was so sure they would be happy getting married and having 'family life' together. He half expected that Kakashi will be married first before him, but Sakura! Naruto landed an eye on the couple.

"Sakura say aaahh!" Kakashi said as he took one gyoza using his chopsticks.

"Aaahh!" Sakura responded. Kakashi was about to put the food on Sakura's mouth when he turned the chopsticks in the opposite direction and ate the gyoza himself. Sakura slapped Kakashi in the shoulders and then the two laughed together.

Naruto smiled and at the same time, memories of him and Hinata on what happened a while ago flashed in his mind.

'Oh my god!" he screamed mentally as his right palm and forehead collided. Why the hell did he suddenly think of Hinata?

"Naruto-kun, what's wrong?" a voice interrupted his train of thoughts. He looked up and realized he was now being watch by Kakashi and Sakura. He sweat dropped and waved his hands.

"Ie! Nandemonai, Sakura-chan." He said. He immediately changed the subject. "Oh your wedding's on Saturday, nee? Who're the best man and maid of honor?"

Sakura blinked, "To be honest, we don't have a best man yet but the maid of honor is Hinata."

"Honto ni!" Naruto suddenly stood up and banged his palms on the table. Instead of saying, 'Hinata is the maid of honor?' he suddenly uttered, "No best man yet?"

It was now Kakashi's turn to sweat drop.

"Yeah. Actually, I'm planning to make Iruka the best man. I haven't tell him though.. "

Naruto put his hands on Kakashi's shoulder and shook him.

"Kakashi I beg you! Make me your best man!"

"Demo... demo..."

He shook him more. "Onegai onegai onegai! Come on! Come on!"

Kakashi, who is now quite daze, can't speak. Sakura caste her death glares at Naruto. She grabbed his hair and pulled it, "Naruto!"

Naruto gave Sakura a puppy face and cried, "Sakura-chan, onegai..."

Sakura looked at her fiancé who had his eyes like spirals and sighed, "Okay okay! You will be the best man." She watched as Naruto's eyes brighten, wondering why he was so eager to be their best man.

"Sakura-chan! Arigatou!" he yelled as he exited the restaurant with the customer's eyes on him.

Sakura sighed once more. "At least that is better than killing your husband-to-be before your wedding." Her inner self said. She then heard Naruto's yell.

"ALRIGHT!"

Just then, Ayame, the owner's granddaughter approached her. "One hundred yen for his order" she said.

Sakura's eyes bulged in disbelief. In frustration, she yelled, "NARUTO!"

Sasuke was walking on the village park. He just got out from Tsunade's office and he learned that Naruto is already back. Since his rescue, they have become great friends and their rivalry was temporarily set off. He became a little more able to express his feelings because of Naruto and he's feeling more than grateful. His trail of thoughts was distracted as he felt water droplets falling into his face. Still walking, he glanced up on the dark sky. He was busy thinking and walking when he bumped into a petite figure. He got surprised when he looked up and saw who it was - Hinata.

Her eyes were quiet reddish due to crying for hours. She looks as if she will burst into tears.

"Hinata-chan, what's wrong?" he asked as a protective feeling fluttered in his heart. He hold her head and buried it into his chest as she cry her tears out.

After a while she stopped.

"A-arigatou S-sasuke-san" her voice was shaking.

"Iei, its okay" he pulled his handkerchief from his pocket and dry her tears.

"Hinata-chan, were going to catch cold if we stay here" he said as he carries Hinata into his arms. They shed under a huge tree. The rain becoming heavier.

They were both silent as they watched the falling rain. Moments passed before Sasuke found his voice.

"A-anou sa..." he started stammering.

"...' Hinata looked at him, surprised at the view of Sasuke looking nervous.

"I-i l-like you, Hinata -chan!" he finished the phrase fast, afraid to not able to tell his feelings. He saw the shock at the girl's eyes.

'No way! Sasuke-san? Likes me?' Hinata's mind said. She was quiet for a moment. It seems to Sasuke he was going to have a heart attack because of mixed feelings on his heart. Then she said to him.

"Sasuke-san, gomenasai..."

Sasuke's heart felt as if t falls flat into the ground but still he didn't give up.

"Its okay, Hinata-chan. All I want is for you to know my feelings. Please let me take care of you...E-even just a-as a friend..." he told Hinata, those words almost choke him.

The girl nod and embraced him, with that, she muttered.

"A seal of our special friendship, Sasuke-san" she smiled.

Sasuke hugged her back, feeling more comfortable of her warmth.

Naruto wondered why he felt so damned happy when Sakura agreed that he would be their best man. In the first place, why did he insisted to be the best man? He is heading into the village park when heavy rain poured. He ran from tree to tree. Then a pair caught his eyes. A girl with purple hair and a boy with a messy black hair were hugging each other. His azure eyes flamed with fury when he realized who they are.

Jealousy rise from the bottom of his heart. Of all people, why does it have to be Hinata and Sasuke? He clenched his fist trying to control the urge to approach them and give Sasuke a punch.

Naruto came home into his apartment. He slammed the door loudly then punched the wall several times. His hands are already bleeding.

"Damn you, Sasuke!" he said loudly as he give the wall another punch.

"I'm the first to stand up for Hinata, Sasuke no baka!"

"Who the hell do you think you are to hug her!" he screamed as he continuously poked the wall.

'Hey, hey I think you're over reacting. Who the hell do you think you are to kiss her anyway?' his inner self said.

'And who the hell do you think you are to feel jealous? She's not your girlfriend dobe!' it added.

He sated slowly as if his energy was draining out fast. Despair is flowing in every vain of his body.

"Damn!" he cursed, whether it's for Sasuke or for himself, he didn't know. On the other hand, his mind was right but his damn heat was saying the opposite.

"Onegai Kami-sama. tasukete... Tell me why I feel this way..." he grunted as he pulled his hair.
