Wedding Bells
Author's note: I'm seriously going to make an affidavit about me NOT owning anything about Naruto. Really. So I don't have to type this thing over and over again.
I'm so glad you liked the last chapter…: ) I love you guys!! Oh, yeah. School starts next week. Tuesday, to be exact. June 10, 2008 specifically. So I won't be updating much.

Chapter 11
"Sasuke, I'm planning to have big celebration for Hikari and Himiko's birthday. Is that alright to you?" Hinata asked, giving Hikari a spoonful of souped rice (A/N: Souped rice is... rice that's swimming in a puddle of soup. If that even clear things up. Like Rice with Tinolang Manok's sabaw. Yum Yum! Tinolang Manok is a delicacy in our country by the way. Right, Lex and Holly? –smiles- And Sabaw is…Oh just forget about it!!).
"Of course that's okay." Sasuke said with his usual cold tone. Hinata had gotten used to it already.
"I want it to be a private party…if that's okay… I mean, you know… guests that are allowed are only those who had been… invited."
"Of course that's alright." He repeated.
"Thank you, Sasuke-kun!" Hinata said as she wiped Hikari's mouth. It was full of rice sticking to it.
"Maybe we could even invite the Kazekage?" Sasuke added as he was sipping a cup of coffee.
"K-kazekage…? N-no, don't… I mean… we're not really acquainted and… he might be busy…and Suna's quite far…and…"
"Oh, alright. I understand."
"Himiko, you'll never get full if you're playing with your food," Hinata firmly stated after a few seconds. Sure enough, the young girl was eating the food then spitting it out, putting more food on her mouth only to spurt it out again. Sasuke laughed.
"Seems like she doesn't want the food," he said, taking her into his arms, and giving her a bite of toast. She happily munched it and opened her mouth, asking for more. Sasuke gave her more.
"I wonder if Sakura could come." Hinata unconsciously asked as she gave Hikari a bottle of water before the poor thing choked.
"Huh? Of course she can. When did that woman skipped parties?"
"Well… never did. But you know how sensitive her pregnancy is! Unlike mine…"
"I'm sure she'll be fine. Although it is quite troublesome having Naruto at her side al the time."
Hinata giggled. Now Hikari was the one who's playing with his food. Hinata stopped feeding him since it was already useless; he was already full.
The babies were healthy and fine and the cutest and most adorable-est babies you'll ever see. After all, they're from one of the prettiest couple.
"Ooh… Himiko likes bread, doesn't she?"
"B-bwed!" Himiko giggly reapeted.
"How cute!" Hinata said as her heart was filled of motherly gladness.
"Kuu…" Hikari repeated.
"Cute! Say 'cute' my Hikari!" Hinata repeated again.
"Cute! – ri, ri… kuuh…- kari…" Hikari said. Hinata clapped. The babies were intelligent, too.

"Happy birthday!!" Naruto screamed. He was bringing a big, big box. He handed the gift to the twin's father and took Hikari from Hinata's clutches. He kissed the poor boy and hugged him tight.
By his side was Sakura who sweat dropped.
All of those who had been invited were there, and the party had started an hour ago.
"And you're late because…?" Sasuke asked bluntly.
"Oh, gomen, gomen…" Naruto fiddled, still carrying Hikari, "There was an emergency."
"Please have a sit. Ino and the others are over there," Hinata politely said.
"Oh, sure! I heard Kiba had proposed to his girlfriend already!" Naruto replied, giving Hikari back to his mother.
"Come on, Naruto! I have news to tell Ino!" Sakura said, pulling Naruto away from the couple.
"Looks like that's all of them…" Hinata whispered.
"Uh…actually…there's one more."
"Huh? Now who could that be?" Hinata asked in confusion.
Before Sasuke could answer, a seducing feminine voice greeted the Uchiha prodigy.
"Nice to see you again, Sasuke," Karin's voice echoed through Hinata's ears.
"You too," He bluntly said. He turned to Hinata and whispered that Karin was one of his former teammates.
"F-former team-m-mate? B-but… I thought…we killed…them all…"
"No, no… she escaped."
Sasuke gladly took Karin's hand for a handshake. The tall girl looked Hinata with criticizing eyes from head to toe then smirked.
"You're the mother, I presume" She said icily. The tome made Hinata somewhat angry yet weak at the same time. Karin then laughed, then apologized for laughing, then handed Sasuke a tiny box.
"It's my gift for your child."
"Children." Sasuke corrected.
"Oh? So they're twins? How…exciting." She said and went past them.
Himiko started to whine. Seems like she feels what her mother is feeling. Now if only Hinata could do the same…
"What's your problem?" Sasuke suddenly asked when Hinata fell silent.
"N-nothing…"
"You don't mind having her, do you?"
"N-no…"
"Hinata," Sasuke turned into a serious tone, "You don't have to worry about her. And… I actually don't like you prying into our business. Yes, I invited her because I had to talk to her about a certain…past. So if you don't mind, please… you know what I mean. Now let's go and head over to our guests."
Hinata nodded like an obedient child. Inside, she was crying. Sasuke? With a woman? And all they had to talk about was business? Okay, Sasuke had gotten with girls before to talk about business. Many times, actually, and Hinata had not said anything. She didn't mind, actually. She wasn't the type of wife who would fuss if there husband had talk to another woman just for a few seconds.
But this Karin…she was different. At first look Hinata knew there was something going on. And she knew it was not just business.
The couple, along with their children, strode over where the guests were. But to Hinata's point of view, they were walking to her perfect family's death.
