Heart of Many Colors
Chapter 10
Wedding Hell3 months had passed since Amaya's fate had been announced and she was free, not to leave the village, but she wouldn't be in jail or dead. Today was a big day, today was Temari and Shikamaru's wedding, the sudden wedding was only to be expected though, since Temari had just found out she was pregnant. Amaya had been the first to know, since she and Temari were best friends now. They had made up a month after Amaya had been okayed by the elders.
Amaya ran into the room, a big box cradled in her arms. "I got the dress!" She said triumphantly, setting it down on Temari's bed. Temari came out of the bathroom, her hair and body wraped in towels.
"What are you doing? I told you to be ready by the time I got back, we're running behind as it is." Amaya scolded. Temari grimaced and shut the bathroom door, seperating her and Amaya. "Temari, what's wrong?"
She could here Temari crying and the door was locked. "Go away, I'm calling it off!" She yelled through her tears.
"Why, what happened, you were so excited yesterday." Amaya said trying to reasom with her.
"Shika is being a jackass. We were talking about the wedding this morning and every other word out of his mouth was troublesome. I know he's a lazy ass, and I love him for it, but still this is our wedding! How can he think this is troublesome, it's all his fault we have to get married now anyways." Temari sobbed.
"I'll be right back, 'kay? Don't move, not even an inch." And with that Amaya was out the door walking down the hall. Once she reached her own room she didn't even bother to knock. She steped in and Gaara was standing there in a towel and Shika was asleep on the bed in his tux. Gaara stared at her as ahe walked over and hit Shika in the shoulder just hard enough to wake him up. Shika sat up and glared at her, she smaked him in the back of the head before he could say anything. "What the hell is wrong with you? Saying your own wedding is troublesome! Temari is crying, and it's all your fault."
"It is troublesome, we don't have to get married just because she's pregnant, but that's what she thinks." Shika said laying back down. Amaya glared at him, but he just closed his eyes and ignored it, not a smart move. She grabbed his ankle and dragged him off the bed, he hit the floor with a loud thud, then she proceded to drag him down the hallway. Gaara laughed then went into his closet to change into his tux for the wedding.
Amaya through Shikamaru into the wall beside the bathroom door, he glared at her. "What the hell was that for?" he demanded rubbing his head.
"For being an asshole on the most important day of your life!" Amaya spat back. She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked "Temari, Shika's here, he wants to apologize for what he said. Please open the door, or at least tell us you're lisning."
"I'm listening." They heard her say between sobs.
Shika shook his head no, that was the one thing Amaya hated about men, they never knew when they were wrong. She mouthed the word 'now' and pointed to the spot infront of the door where she had been standing. "Are you guys still out there?" Temari called out. "Shika's just trying to figure out how to say he's sorry." Amaya answeared back, then she shot Shikamaru another glare and pointed to the spot, again he shook his head no. Amaya sighed, I guess I'll just have to resort to violence, she thought to herself then started to walk torward Shika. She grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him over to the door, pushing him down to his knees in front of it, he glared up at her. 'Apoligize now, or you'll be very sorry you were ever born." She mouthed slowly, making sure he got every word, she knew he had when he gulped.
Shika may have been lazy, but he wasn't stupid. He knew exactly what Amaya was capible of, and he knew enough to fear her. Apoligize or posibly die, hard question, not!, he thought to himself, then turned and faced the door. "Temari, sweetie, I'm so sorry I said that. I was just so nervous, and I wasn't sur what to say, I felt so over whelmed. This wedding is the most impotant thing to me right now, and in a few months our child will be the most important thing to me. Sweetie, please say that you'll forgive me, I don't think I could stand you being mad at me on our wedding day, or ever. I hate it when we fight, please forgive me, I love you so much." He finished, flashing an award winning smile at Amaya. Damn, he's one hell of a bullshiter. Wonder where he got that from. Lazy he may be, dumb he is not., Amaya though to herself, staring at Shika in awe. A few seconds later the door swung open, revealing a red eyed Temari.
Shika immediately took on a sorrowful, guilty look, "Please forgive me sweetie."
She dropped to her knees and hugged him, "Of couse I forgive! I hate it when we fight too, so lets not fight anymore. I love you so much, and we're getting married today, everything is going to be okay now." Temari said standing back up with Shika. "Now go back to Gaara's room and finish getting ready, Amaya and I have a lot of things to do." With that she shoed him out of the door, and closed it behind him."Isn't he the sweetist man alive?" Temari asked walking into the bathroom looking for something.
"Yeah."Amaya said, she was still in shock. How the hell did that work? She kept asking herself.
The wedding was to be held on top of the Kazekage tower, and then the reception would be held in the ballroom. Not as many people had been invited to the actual wedding as to the reception, only about 30 people would actually see the wedding. Everyone who was supposed to be there was already there, sitting in their seats. There was the rookie 9, Kakashi, his girlfriend Katsumi, Shikamaru's parents, the leaf hokage, Shizune, 4 elders from sand, Genma (who was Tsunade's guard), Kureni, these people would sit in the seats. Then there was the wedding party, the lead elder who would preform the ceremony, Kakashi and Katsumi's daughter Tsuki who would be the flower girl, Kureni's son Asuma jr. who would be the ring bearer, Kankuro, Gaara, and Chhoji who would be the best men, and Amaya who would be the maid of honor, and of course Temari and Shikamaru.
Shikamaru stode in front of all the seats, Gaara and Kankuro standing of to his right, The elder standing to his left, he was going over his vows in his head. He was nervous, and it was obvious, he was sweating and shuffling his feet, he just couldn't stand still. He looked around the crowd, Naruto gave him a thumbs up, Kakashi was reading porn, his mom was dabbing at her eyes, and the hokage smiled at him.
A minute later, music started to play and Tsuki walked down the aisle throughing red rose pedals to the ground, she had on a light blue dress, and was bare foot, no doubt because latly she had refused to wear shoes. Then Amaya walked down the aisle in a light blue halter dress that wraped around her top half so that her belly button was exposed, her hair was black and tied up into a bun ontop of her head with her bangs framing her face, and her nose, eyebrow, bellybutton, and ears were all peirced, and she had a tatoo of a black heart tatooed onto her shoulder. Then Temari followed her, she walked down the the aisle by herself, seeing as her father was dead. She had on a white strapless corset wedding dress, the top half had light blue lace layering over it, the back was tied with light blue ribbon, and the bottem of the dress was all white and simple, it flowed down to the floor. Her hair was done as it usually was, but she had light blue ribbon tied around each pigtail.
She got to the front and the music stopped, she faced Shika, tears in her eyes already, the elder started the ceremony, which seemed to drone on for hours. When it came time for the ring exchange Asuma Jr. came down the aisle, about half way there he stopped and waved to his mom, who waved back embarrasedly, then he started torwards the front of the aisle again. He stopped to pick up a flower petal and then kept going, when he got to the front he gave the petal to Tsuki, who kissed him on the check. Then he gave the ring to Shika and Temari and Kakashi was glaring at him as he sat down next to Tsuki. The ceremony finished and Temari and Shikamaru kissed, then everyone went down to the ballroom and meet the other 100 people who had attended the reception. Everyone enjoyed them selves, and when it came time for the slow dance all the couples danced, Shika and Temari, Kakashi and Kat, Asuma Jr.. and Tsuki, Gaara and Amaya, and Naruto and Sasuke (Naruto lead), were all at the center of the dance floor.
At the end of the night when the party was about to be over, Temari and Shikamaru stode up infront of eveyone to get their attention. Shikamaru spoke "I would like to thank all of you for coming today, and I hope you enjoyed your selves. But before you go we have one more annoncement to make, we're having a baby!" At first there was a stunned silence, then the crowd erupted in cheers. Most people were drunk and probrably wouldn't remember half the reception, but they would remember that.
The next morningThe next morning at breakfest Amaya, Gaara, Naruto, and Sasuke were talking about the wedding, while everyone else slept off there hangovers.
"That was the best wedding I've ever been to!" Naruto said shoving ramen into his mouth.
"It was pretty fun." Sasuke shrugged.
"It was better then fun!" Naruto exclaimed, then turned back to Amaya and Gaara "I was freakin hularious, did you see how trashed the head elder was?"
"Yep," Amaya said nodding her head, "Did you see him throw-up and the leaf hokage right before he left?"
"Aww! No I didn't!" Naruto said sadly.
"It was amusing." Gaara said eating a slice of toast.
"Kami! I swear you and Sasuke are so frigin quiet when you're around other people," he said looking at Gaara and Sasuke "Amaya, how did we get stuck with such emos?" He asked looking at her, Gaara and Sasuke glared at him.
"I don't know about you, but my man isn't emo," she said.
"Well mine is," Sasuke glared at him, then leaned over and whispered something in his ear, Naruto's eyes went wide, then he stopped talking.
Amaya stode up, "I'm going shopping, wanna come Naruto?" she asked, over the last 3 months her and Naruto had become close friends, and shopped together like best friends. Naruto stode up and said bye to Sasuke and gave him a peck on the check then they left.
When Gaara was sure they were gone he looked over at Sasuke "So… What did you say to Naruto a couple minutes ago?"
Sasuke smirked "That if he didn't shut up I wouldn't have sex with him for a month." Gaara laughed.
