Hamlet and Juliet
Author's note: So… a little curious what will happen? Well, I worked on these two chapters because I failed to do my promise that I will update last time… (and I don't want my leg to be bitten by a dog…) and I'm so happy to see more than a hundred reviews considering that this story is just turning 2 months old… (Yehey…) so… let's proceed! (Actually it's more of a side story… so please be patient in waiting for the 'real' SasuSaku…)

--Act 06 Scene 04: The all-new Uzu-Nara team-up!—
(better than hundred and one ways to mess up a wedding)
…
Shikamaru looked at Ino… Ino blushed. He rolled his eyes in annoyance…
'Shikamaru thinks that I'm beautiful!'
…
…
'Neh… troublesome! I'm not looking at her beauty…' Shikamaru then eyed Ino. He's gesturing her to look at her cellphone… Ino got at last the idea and looked at her phone.
She made and 'oh' expression and whispered something to Tenten…
…
…
A girl and a boy are walking together on the street when both of them stopped… sounds of horse shoes echoed all over the streets…
A teenage guy is riding a white horse…
The girl stopped to look closely at the boy riding the horse… she blushed upon seeing his handsome face partly covered by the shadow made by his big straw hat… his black cloak with red clouds flew smoothly with the air as he rode the white horse gracefully…
Everybody in the street who was passed by Sasuke stops and the girls, even matrons and oldies—blushes…
…
…
He had the determined look on his eyes. He wore his Bluetooth wireless headset piece on his right ear as it played the mp3 files on his phone…
"Hyaaaaaaa!" Sasuke jerked at the horse harder…
…
…
Before Neji could say a word, Ino and Tenten rushed in front of the altar and dragged (literally…) the unconscious Hinata to the unseen corner of the chapel… there, they're trying to wake Hinata…
Pak!!!!
Tenten slapped Hinata on her left cheek… but it had no effect…
Pak!!!
She then slapped Hinata on her right cheek… but Hinata seemed to be sleeping so deep that her only reaction was to murmur Naruto's name…
"Ino… what are we going to do? We can't wake her up!"
Ino stared blankly at the unconscious (she's sleeping, actually…) Hinata… Ino placed her right hand under her chin… "Hmmm…"
"N-Naru-Naruto… Naruto-kun…" Hinata murmured…
"Hinata… wake up!" Ino called her coolly but the girl didn't flinch. She repeated again the call but as usual—no answer.
Ino's veins started to pop… eyebrows twitching…
…
…
Tenten stared at the angry Ino as smoke started to come out from the blonde's ears…
"Ino… is Hinata already awake?" a call from Shikamaru through her mobile phone…
"Iie… she's still dreaming…"
"Naruto's wedding must continue! Wake her up or Sakura will marry that Hyuuga Neji…"
Ino stared blankly at Hinata…
…
…
"…"
…
…
Whapaaaak!
…
Bam!!!
…
Kapow!!!
…
Shikamaru rolled his eyes upon hearing the sounds on the other line… "I didn't tell you to punch her…"
"No effect… huh…huh…" Ino complained
"I do…. I do…" Hinata murmured…
Bam!!!!!
Shikamaru rolled his eyes for the nth time that day… maybe he must do something… he looked at his seatmates… Rock Lee, Choji, and Kiba…
Troublesome…
"Ino… I need something…" he told Ino and started to walk on the place where the girls were…
…
…
"I think we should proceed on our wedding…" Neji demanded to Tsunade… Tsunade sighed in defeat. Well, what more to do to interrupt the wedding? She can't grab her chest and act as if she is suffering from a heart attack or pull out a machine gun and fire it on Neji…
…
Naruto looked at the front door… the crowd's mingle was endless. He is in an embarrassing position now… but what he saw next had the hope for his eat-all-you-can ramen…
"Wait…" a 'girlish' voice was heard on the front door… It has an irritating sound… really… (just imagine how irritating it is…)
Everybody, including Tsunade, looked at the door, there stood a tall girl in a wedding dress and her face was completely covered by a long wedding veil… The said girl walked in a fast pace with her legs in far distance, careful of not stepping on her dress…
Naruto looked at the girl. His eyes grew wide and made that (O.O) expression—his eyes were wide as saucers…
"Wha—!" Naruto held back his scream… The girl peeked behind her veil revealing herself only to Naruto…
Naruto stared at the 'girl'… Black eyes, irritating black hair, that scowl…
…
…
"Troublesome…" the 'girl' hissed…
…
…
Naruto looked again— Black eyes, irritating black hair, that scowl…
…
…
And that legendary 'troublesome'…
…
(("Shikamaru! What are you doing here in a dress?!")) Naruto whispered. Tsunade raised an eyebrow… she can't get it… "Well, seems like Hinata-san is okay now…" She said
(("Never mind! Just ride on it…")) Shikamaru rolled his eyes under the weirdly thick wedding veil… (("just make sure that we will postpone the wedding for a while...")) he added
…
…
Rock Lee's phone is ringing. He pressed the answer button and heard a familiar flat voice on the other line…
"Lee, how's the wedding going?" the voice asked
"Well, it's okay… Naruto is marrying Hinata at the present time so Sakura-chan's wedding will be continued maybe for about 5 more minutes…"
"Hn. Okay, bye…" toot! Toot!
Lee looked at his phone… "Wait… who's that in the first place?"
"…"
"Maybe the school guard! Ohohohohooo! I'm a genius!"
…
…
"Do you, Uzumaki Naruto, accept Hyuuga Hinata as your wedded wife? To be at her side in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do you part?" Sai asked Naruto with a smile…
He looked at the Shikamaru-pretending-to-be-Hinata at his side… Beads of sweat starting to trace his cheeks… Shikamaru lifted his veil a little eyeing the poor Naruto…
'The mere idea of marrying Shikamaru is disgusting… eeewww….' Naruto thought
"I do…" After that, he turned his head sideward making a disgusted expression as if he had eaten a bowl of spoiled ramen left in the kitchen for a week…
"Do you, Hyuuga Hinata, accept Uzumaki Naruto as your wedded husband? To be at his side in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, in passing or failing a summative exams, in passing your projects, till death do you part, even in recess?" Sai asked Shikamaru…
'Troublesome… why does he need to add some questions?'
…
He looked at Naruto… 'The mere idea of marrying Naruto is more disgusting… eeewww!' Shikamaru thought
"I do…" he then turn his head sideward and started to make that 'super disgusted' look as if he had drank a litter of spoiled milk left in the canteen's refrigerator…
"Okay!" Naruto shouted happily as he stretched his hands… "The wedding's over!" He added…
"Wait…" Sai interrupted. Naruto and Shikamaru-as-Hinata looked at him. "You may kiss the bride…"
…
…
…
Everybody in the chapel blushed…
…
…
Silence…
…
…
Naruto looked at the person under the thick wedding veil…
…
…
Chirp! Chirp!
…
…
'eeewwww…' he thought…
…
…
Shikamaru sighed. They've got to do it… well, it's just a peck you know… Naruto cannot move as Shikamaru started to move closer to him… she (rather he…) started to lift the veil slowly…
…
…
Naruto's eyes grew wide… 'OMG! Is he serious?!' he panicked mentally…
Tuug-tuug! Tuug-tuug! Tuug-tuug!
…
…
Tuug-tuug!
…
Whaaaaaa!!!!! Their faces were very close to each other… Shikamaru let go of the veil covering their heads. No one in the chapel can see what's happening inside…
Naruto looked at Shikamaru with wide eyes… "Huh… huh… I thought you're going to do it…" He said in between pants… Shikamaru rolled his eyes… "You wish… never in a million years…" he's irritated with their distance… it's just a couple of inch apart…
The crowd gulped… Tsunade panicked and stood up "Whaaaah! You! The two of you! You're still young to—" Tsunade got out of balance because of her heels so she slipped and hit Naruto's back…
…
…
…
Naruto and Shikamaru were stunned…
…
Naruto's lips…
…
On Shikamaru's…
…
…
The veil flew up because of the impact…
…
…
SILENCE…
…
…
UNDYING SILENCE…
…
…
A PAUSE…
…
…
Naruto shoved Shikamaru away and rubbed his face and lips rigidly I mean, he's trying to erase his lips… he just wished that it never existed… He then ran panicking outside shouting like a madman… Shikamaru ran outside—doing the same…
…
…
…
Tsunade remained lying on the floor with her eyes in great shock… she then giggled… that Naruto and Shikamaru got a very lovely pair…
…
Tsunade stood up and sat back on her chair… 'Well done guys, we made our part… its Sasuke this time…'
…

--notes—
Ne… troublesome wedding, isn't it? Just consider this one as a side story… the next chapter will be the real deal… Sasuke! Hurry up before Sakura say I do! If you got late, well just marry us… your fans! Aaaahhh!!!! ((just kidding…)) heheh…
--another thing…--
Maybe you're wondering why the Romeo and Juliet got into the Ready or Not thing, then the school fest, then the marriage booth…well, I based the title and the first chapters of the story on the play itself but these events were essential for us to know when, where, and how did things came up like Sasuke's attempt on confessing his feelings for Sakura, the Uchiha-Hyuuga rivalry and later on, the turning point and the conflict of the story… (get it? Get it?) ((Hay! Hirap mag-english… hehehe)) so please be patient and understand my side… sorry if I didn't satisfy your expectations… (But I'm trying my best…)
