As Long As You're Mine.
Chapter Eleven: Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise.
Sasuke sat with his back pressed against the stone wall. The only light in the area was coming from the small flickering torch that was at the beginning of the hallway. He looked up hearing the loud screeching noise of the door opening and steady footsteps. He took in a large intake of breath as the footsteps stopped in front of his cell. He heard the rattling of keys and then the squeak of his door opening. Sasuke stood up and walked out of the holding cell, it wasn't until he was out in the hallway that he realized that it was Naruto.
Sasuke went to stuff his hands into his pocket but found that the old white pants had none. He sighed looking away from Naruto. Naruto brought his hand up and placed it on Sasuke's shoulder causing him to look up. "Sakura is right. I am much more forgiving then I should be," Sasuke stared at the blonde shocked. "You'll be on house arrest for two years, the only time you'll be able to leave your house is if your escorted by myself," Sasuke nodded. "You'll be allowed to see Naru-chan," Sasuke's eyes instantly lit up. "When Sakura says you many," Sasuke sighed before looking down.
"Now come on. I need help getting ready," Naruto smiled. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the blonde. Naruto laughed as he continued to walk down the hallway. Sasuke sighed before shaking his head and following the blonde out of the prison. It wasn't long before Sasuke noticed the team of ANBU following them. Naruto continued walking until they finally got to the back entrance of the Hokage tower.
"There you are dickless," Sai said. Sai froze before looking the Uchiha up and down. "What is the traitor doing here?"
"Sai," Naruto said placing his hand on his friends shoulder. "Come on, we don't have much time to get ready," Sai nodded as Naruto walked into the building. Sai stood for a moment staring at the Uchiha. He then turned around without another word and followed after Naruto.

Sakura stood in front of a full body mirror. Her breaths came out slow and steady as she tried to calm herself down. "God Forehead, you're freaking me out," Ino said. Sakura opened her eyes to glare at the blonde.
"Well I am freaking out!" Sakura yelled as Ino rolled her eyes.
"Well snap out of it! You're marrying Naruto for gods sake. This is Naruto we're talking about!" Ino screeched. Sakura nodded before taking in another deep breath.
"You're right I'm marrying Naruto," She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She wore a traditional bridal kimono with the symobiol of the Uzumaki clan on the back. "It's just Naruto, the man I've been in love with for years," she reminded herself. A roar of laughter was heard from down stairs where all the guest were. "But there are a lot of people out there!"
Ino rolled her eyes before moving away from the pinkette. "I can't handle this! Kakashi! Talk some since into this girl!" Ino yelled moving out of the room. The door opened and Kakashi walked into the room wearing a tux. His normal unruly hair was somewhat flattened. His mask in place and instead of wearing his headband he had his eyes shut.
"Oh Kakashi, you look so handsome," Sakura commented as the older man shut the door behind him. He chuckled before pulling out a box. Sakura stared at it confused for a moment before he opened it. Inside was a single red cinquefoil. Sakura smiled as Kakashi reached up and pushed her bangs to one side. Before placing the flower in her hair.
"I hope I don't mess up your hair," Kakashi laughed causing Sakura to smile. "I know I'm not your real father, but I truly see you as my daughter. I'm truly blessed to have a daughter as wonderful as you," Kakashi bent down a placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Does this mean I can see your face now?" Sakura asked. Kakashi chuckled.
"Not a chance. Now, stop worrying." Kakashi bent down and grabbed her vail before placing it over her face. "Come on," he brought his arm up and she took it. The two walked down the hallway but stopped when they reached the stair case. On the flight down Naruto stood a smile on his face. His blonde hair stuck out in all different places. He was wearing a traditional for men.
"Naruto! You can't be here! It's against tradition!" Sakura barked. Naruto laughed as he walked up the stairs.
"We aren't a very traditional couple Sakura," he said once he reached her. "There's something I wanted to do before we get married," Naruto waited a moment before moving out of Sakura's line of vision. Standing at the bottom of the stair case Sasuke stood.
"Sasuke…" she whispered before turning to look at Naruto. Why would he be doing this now? She turned to look back at Sasuke who was slowly making his way up the stairs. She looked at him once more before looking to Kakashi and Naruto. They were finally all together again. Her team seven. Her boys. She looked back at Sasuke when he stopped in front of her. She gulped.
"I'm sorry, for all of the things I have done to you," he looked at her for a moment before looking at the rest of the group. "To all of you. I don't deserve your friendship or the love that you have always shown me. You deserve much more then I could ever give you. You deserve someone like Naruto," he took a step forward before kissing her cheek. "Congratulations Uzumaki-san."
Sakura frozen in her spot as Sasuke turned to walk away from her. She felt a lone tear fall from her eyes. "Sasuke!" he turned around as Sakura took a few steps forward and hugged him. "I forgive you. After all we are teammates. We're friends. We're family," Sasuke hugged her back. "I want you to meet Naru," Sasuke pulled away shock on his face.
"Really?"
Sakura nodded. "You are her biological father," Sasuke smiled.
"Thank you. It means the world to me," Sasuke said. Sakura turned to look at Naruto and Kakashi.
"Come here," she demanded. The two walked down the steps until they reached the two. Sakura brought her arms up and pulled the three together for a hug. Sakura smiled and tried to force her tears back. There was no way that today could be even more perfect.
RRRRIIIPPP!
Sakura froze. The bottom of her kimono was ripped. The three men froze in fear. "NARUTO!" Sakura belted. The sounds from down stairs stopped.
"Uh… uh…" Naruto looked around. "I swear Sakura-chan! I didn't mean to!"
"You are so dead!" Sakura screamed running after the blonde.
Kakashi sighed. "Some things never change," he mumbled before stuffing his hands into his pockets and walking down the stairs.
"Wait! No! Sakura-chan have mercy!"

Naruto stood at the top of the alter. He smiled despite his black eye and ripped kimono. To his left stood his groom's men. Which consisted of Gaara as his best man, Sai and Shikamaru. Naruto looked to his right where Sakura's brides maid's stood. Ino, of course as her maid of honor, Moegi and Temari. He then looked up at Tsuande who would be performing the ceremony.
"I'm nervous," Naruto whispered to the older woman. Tsunade laughed. The music began to play and everyone stood and turned to the door as Sakura entered the room. Her arm laced with Kakashi's. Naruto felt his breath hitch in his throat when Sakura looked up to meet his eyes. He felt his heart beat hammer in his chest. He looked down and saw Naru give him a thumbs up. Naruto winked at her before looking up at Sakura a large grin on his face.
Naruto and Sakura smiled at each other when they finally reached each other. "Who gives this woman away?" Tsuande asked.
"I do," Kakashi said, he kissed Sakura on the cheek before removing her arm from his and then lacing it into Naruto's arm. Kakashi moved and sat down next to Shizune. Naruto and Sakura tuned to face each other. Their hands grasping tightly. Naruto let out a steady breath before smiling again.
"We are gathered here today to bind…"
