Till Death Do Us Part

The day has finally come. After two days of preparation, frustration, and misery, her worst nightmare was coming true. The day when two young lovers would join together to unite Hyuga and Uchiha. But they weren't lovers. One hated the other and the other could care less. This day was going to be the worst day of a certain young Hyuga's life. This was the day of the wedding between the Uchiha heir and the Hyuga heiress. Everybody knew this day would come and could not be avoided. But one Hyuga tried to avoid it and failed. And her name was Hyuga Tenten.

Damn. Damn. Damn! She kept cursing under her breath as she made her way towards the heiress's room. I tried Hinata... I tried...

She entered the room to see a few other Hyuga's preparing Hinata. Her face was so sullen underneath all of that beauty. "Excuse me, but can I talk to Hinata alone for a moment, please?" They nodded, bowed, then left. She turned back to Hinata.

"What is it Nee-chan?" Hinata asked. Nee-chan. That was something Tenten didn't want to hear. Neji was like Hinata's older brother, so since they were married, she was like a sister to Hinata. But right now, she didn't want that title. She didn't think she deserved that title at the moment.

"I just wanted to say... sorry."

"Why?"

"Because... because I tried to cancel the wedding. But I failed. Fugaku wouldn't give in. I even got Mikoto in trouble and now she's under house arrest. I'm so sorry." Tenten couldn't resist to cry. Even after all the crying she did, Hinata let a tear fall, and Tenten failed to see that.

"It wasn't your fault, Tenten. You don't need to be sorry. As for Mikoto, I'll do something about that."

Tenten nodded then left after she made one last apology.

Please forgive me, Hinata...

Tenten went back to her and Neji's room. He stood there waiting for her so they could walk to the Church together. He was dressed in a strapping tux and his hair was tie back. Tenten's outfit comprised a slimming white dress with green stripes. Her hair was still tied in buns with potato vines. She was really beautiful, until he saw something was wrong. "Tenten; you're eyes,"

She was still crying. The tears were ruining her mascara, giving her a somber look.

"What's wrong?" he asked concerned as he began to wipe her eyes.

"N-Nothing." she said replied. She swiped his hand away and smiled. "I'm perfectly fine. Let's go."

They made their way to the Church in time and went to the front. Sasuke was already at the altar, waiting for his bride. Tenten glared at him. "I still can't believe she's marrying that bastard..." she mumbled under her breath.

"Tenten," Neji tried to calm her by stroking her hand with his thumb.

A few minutes later and they were still waiting. "What's taking them so damn long?!" Tenten quietly exclaimed. But she was right to be suspicious. How does it take to prepare a bride? "I'm going to see what's wrong." She already left before Neji could disagree.

Suddenly, Hinata appeared in between the doors of the chapel. She looked as white as a ghost. "Hinata, what happened?"

"N-Naruto-kun..."

"What happened to Naruto?!" Her got her answer when she saw an angry looking creature covered in chakra. It was Naruto. Kyuubi's chakra was beginning to take over him completely.

"What's wrong with him?!"

"H-He wants to k-kill Sasuke."

What!? As much as Tenten hated the despicable heir, they couldn't let Naruto just kill him off like that. Tenten ran to Neji. Neji ran to Tenten.

"Tenten, what's all this commotion?"

"Kyuubi's escaping." Neji's eyes widened. "Naruto's going after Sasuke."

"We can't bring on any attention."

"But they're in the hall." Neji closed his eyes in frustration.

"... We can't interfere."

"But Neji---"

"We can't! Hinata is the only one who can control him. We just need to wait."

The Church was suddenly filled with terrifying screams when the Jinchuuriki entered. His eyes were on a certain Uchiha. Hinata ran in front of him. "Naruto!" She shut her eyes.

"Get out of my way!" He punched her in the stomach. It was deep enough to cause bleeding.

"Hinata!" Tenten was about to run over to her, but Neji grabbed her and held her tight. "Neji, wha---?" Naruto ran through the center of the chapel and grabbed Sasuke by the neck, his razor-sharp nails clawing in his throat. If Neji didn't grab her, Tenten would have been poisoned by the demonic chakra. She looked back at Hinata. She started coughing out blood.

What going to happen to us?

"Naruto, I know everything!" someone shouted. It was Hinata. Even though she was in so much pain, she could still stand. Both Neji and Tenten were impressed. "I have the answers you've been looking for!"

That got his attention.

"Kyuubi attacked the village years ago. Then the Fourth Hokage sealed him inside a newborn child because it was the only way to save the village! That child was you!" The tears didn't resist to fall. After all that yelling, she'd have to be in pain; and she was still standing, her lace-white dress was now a blood-red mantle. "I know you grew up living a harsh life, but there are still so many people who care about you: The Third Hokage, Kakashi-sensei, Iruka-sensei, your friends... me. I know you didn't have parents who cared for you; but you still have us..."

Naruto started to calm down as the happy memories entered his head. He let go of Sasuke's neck and Kyuubi's chakra slowly began to disappear.

"Even though you're the container of Kyuubi, I don't care. I will love you no matter what; and nothing can stop me from that. I'll always be there for you like you were always there for me."

Kyuubi's chakra was sealed back and Naruto collapsed. Hinata ran to her lover and began to heal the rest of his damaged body. Everything was calm again.

"I told you everything would be alright." Neji said. For once, he proved Tenten wrong.

"I'm just glad something good came out of all of this."

Once again, Tenten was right. The wedding was cancelled the next day.

Two Weeks Later...

"Do you, Hyuga Hinata, take Naruto as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"And do you, Uzumaki Naruto, take Hinata as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Before I continue, does anyone have any objections?" The Hokage stared at the crowd. Kami forbid whoever objected to this marriage.

The wedding took place outside by a lake surrounded by trees. The wedding was similar to Neji and Tenten's only more well-known. The bride wore a blue kimono and the groom wore a tuxedo (only because Hinata told him to. She really wanted to see him in a tux). It was the best day of the soon-to-be couple's lives.

Hiashi agreed to let Naruto and Hinata wed, but with a few exceptions. For more than one reason, he mainly allowed this to happen because he had a very romantic past of his own. Hina; his deceased wife. The way he loved her was similar to the way Naruto loved Hinata; besides, what kind of father would he be to break his daughter's heart twice?

Meanwhile, Mikoto was released from her prison and her husband welcomed her back in open arms. Rumors were heard that Sasuke was still after Hinata's heart, and joined Orochimaru in order to gain more power and kill Naruto. But that's what made their love stronger. It took a lot of effort for them to get to this point, and nothing was going to stop them from staying together.

"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife! You may kiss the bride!"

Without hesistation, the two newly weds leaned into each other and met with a kiss. Everyone cheered.

"AW!" Tenten awed with pleasure. "I knew they'd end up together somehow!"

"Who would guess?" Neji said, in a deriding tone.

"Oh stop it Neji!" Tenten playfully punched his arm. "Admit it, you're happy they got married."

Neji smirked. "... So I am. But I'm not as happy as when we got married." He put his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek.

"Oh Neji..." She kissed him back. They stayed like that as they watched the newly-wed couple cross the aisle. As they passed by, Hinata hugged both Tenten and Neji. Naruto shook Neji hands, but Tenten gratefully hugged Naruto.

"You know, when I was little, I used to believe in fairy tailes," she said on their way home. "Now that we're here, it's still not hard to believe."

"Because your Prince Charming came to your rescue?"

"And we lived happily ever after."

They gave each other and Eskimo kiss. "I love you, Neji."

"I love you too, Tenshi."

The END... NOT!!!

Like I would end the story like that! There are still more events to come and more surprises!

R&R!
