Okay, it took me quite a while so imma make this author's note short, cause I love all my readers, here's your serving of Chapter 14! :D

*I love to write about Naruto, but I don't own it okay? (Kishimoto-sensei does)

CHAPTER 14

The Hyuga compound was full of excitement as the day of the wedding came. Everyone was busy with preparations and decorations and was totally enjoying the joyous occasion. Now that the day came, Hinata couldn't help but feel nervous. A lot of thoughts were crossing her mind and was triggering every imagination in her head. She wore a white bath robe as she just got a hot and nice bath when she started pacing around the room like a restless pup, causing a few sweat beads to drop. Sakura was with her as they waited Ino for their make-up.

"Hinata darling, stop pacing around, you're making me dizzy" she said to the still nervous bride.

"B-but wha-what if–"

"Don't continue!," Sakura said as she plugged her ears jokingly, "trust me, Naruto sticks to his words. You know that better than anyone, right?" she said in a matter-of-factly. Hinata nodded silently as she tried to calm herself.

"There you go. So stop moving too much or Ino would make you go to bath again" she said putting her hands down as a small creak came from the door.

"Uhmm.. May I come in?" a shy girl in her pre-teens asked as she peeked through. Her steel blue hair was visibly long.

"Ah, Miyuki-chan! C-come in" Hinata said as she welcomed the young lady.

"Miyuki-chan? So I see you're in Naruto's team?" Sakura said as she eyed the young medic.

"Hai. So you know Naruto-sensei?" she asked as the pinkette let out a laugh.

"I've known him since were genins. A lot of your senseis at the Academy are in our batch too" she explained.

"Sasuke-san, Neji-niisan, Kiba-kun, Lee-san and Shikamaru. I heard they entered recently too" Hinata said, joining the conversation.

"Wow, they're all amazing people.." the blue haired girl said as she processed the names in her mind.

"Yeah, and back then they looked like a couple of knuckleheads" Sakura said with a smile.

"Hey! Everyone here? I already brought Hanabi with me" Ino exclaimed as she came in with the other Lady Hyuga.

"Yes. Tenten and Temari said that they'd get by on their own" Hinata said.

"Okay! Here we go!" she said and they began to have their make-up. Of course, the bride was Ino's top priority as Sakura curled the two girls' hair. Ino had to put just a thin make-up on as she already has a fair complexion, a few blush-on and eye shadow and viola! They we're having a traditional wedding after all and the simpler the better. But Ino would like to add a few 'elegance' and 'magnificence'. Sakura only curled Hanabi's hair at the ends which made her dark long hair look so bouncy while she tied Miyuki's hair in a braid before curling her flowing blue hair.

"Hey forehead, you're up" Ino said as Miyuki had her make-up.

"'Kay, can you do my hair too?" she asked as she sat down.

"Sure" she said and began. In a few minutes all the bridesmaids were in their light purple kimonos. It had a hint of purple colored cherry blossoms at the ends as it covered up to their knees. While the bride had a purple kimono with dark purple ornamental designs all over and a white obi was tied at her waist. Hanabi came up to her sister who was in the verge of tears as the time neared.

"Ne, onee-chan. Mum's not here anymore, so they said it's best if I'm the one to do this" she said as she held her sister's veil. (NOTE! I searched around for Hinata's mom, but it just said she is ALIVE but I don't know her persona so imma skip her okay?)

"Thank you, Hanabi-chan" she said with a smile, lowering her head as her imouto pinned the veil. After Hanabi fully pinned it, Hinata hugged her.

"No crying! We don't have enough time to redo those faces" Ino remarked as a knock came to the door.

*Knock knock*

"You girls ready?" Neji called from the other side of the door.

"Yeah" "Yes"

"Then come down already. It's almost time" he said as he wore a white kimono and he didn't have his headband which fully exposed his forehead and mark. Soon enough the bride was on her way.

Meanwhile, Naruto had just put on his formal orange kimono on and was checking it out. It had a usual Uzumaki swirl at his neckline at the back. He was ruffling his hair just to keep his nervousness in check.

"Yo" a greeting from the window came.

"Oh, hey Kakashi-sensei" he remarked though he didn't look at him as his eyes were glued at the mirror, looking at his reflection. Kakashi made his way in and at the back of the blonde and caught his shoulders with his hands.

"You look fine. Your father would be very proud of you" he remarked, peeking at the side to make his reflection visible at the mirror. His headband isn't around but his usual mask is still there.

"So do I get to see what's under that mask?" Naruto joked.

"Not a chance" Kakashi remarked earning an 'Aww, c'mon' from his student then began rummaging through his pockets. He brought out a rectangular box and held it to Naruto.

"Here, Yamato wanted to give it to you but he had a mission so he can't make it"

"Really? Tell him thanks okay?" he said happily as he took the box and opened it. Much to his surprise it looked like the necklace of the first Hokage.

"Whoa! Where'd he get this?" he said bringing the crystal out.

"Well, he also needed Tsunade-sama's permission and though the crystal is just another gem the fiber was made from his Mukton that can suppress the Kyuubi. Though I think your little fox is tamed now so I think we didn't have to worry isn't it?" he asked with a smile.

"Yeah, but still, thanks for this. It means a lot" Naruto said as he brought it to his neck and it dangled up to his upper chest.

"Shall we then? We shouldn't be late"

"You mean 'I' shouldn't be, you were always late Kakashi-sensei" he joked as his sensei ruffled his hair.

They made their way to the Hokage monument. He saw all of the Konoha 12 eagerly waiting for the bride's arrival. Everyone was in formal clothing except for the Kazekage who was on his robes. Naruto went up to him and Gaara caught a glimpse of him and turned to his direction.

"Thanks for coming, Kazekage-sama" he said with a wink while Gaara smiled at the statement.

"HEEEY!" a shout came from behind him and soon two arms surrounded his neck.

"OY! Ki-Kiba! Can't-can't breathe here!" he complained. He also Shikamaru and the others nodded at him in congratulation.

"Whoa, sorry" he said as his arms loosened, "Congrats again, you idiot" Kiba said as he ran off.

"Hey!" Naruto said, ready to run after him but Kakashi caught his arm just in time to pull him off his temper.

"Now now, enough about that and go up in front" he said, shoving the blonde towards the altar.

"Fine" he said with a small pout as he headed in front. Sasuke who was on a dark navy blue kimono was under one the trees near the make shift altar and was feeling the breeze. It had an Uchiha mark on one of its sleeves.

"Hey" Naruto said as he approached him.

"Hey, congrats" that's all he could blurt out. Naruto threw an arm around his shoulder.

"Why the heck are you hiding that face under the tree? Drag your feet! And let's go my best man" he grinned, dragging the raven-haired man with him.

"Hn"

"Make sure you get Ichirou and Atsuko to the reception later okay?" Naruto said as Sasuke nodded in response. After that, Naruto was either teased or congratulated by his friends until…

"Hey guys! Get to your positions" Temari said to the group as the bride came in sight. Naruto rushed to the altar as he heard the called and so did the others. They we're either on the other side of the make shift aisle. They eyed the bride like she was some sort of angel that came from heaven. Her beauty was overwhelming, her dress, her hair, her face, everything was perfect. Naruto's jaw almost dropped again. Almost. Hiashi held her daughter's hand for the last time before he gives her to her one and only. Her hand was cringed on her father's arm in a way that Hiashi's other hand grasped it. They went up to the aisle so smoothly, and when they reached the altar Naruto bowed before his father-in-law, with all respect.

"Give her all the love she deserves" Hiashi said as the held Hinata's hand to Naruto's.

"Yes, Otosan" he replied. Hiashi smiled as Naruto took her hand. Hanabi secretly shed a tear as she saw her sister being married, married to the person she loved all her life. Constantly dreaming and wishful thinking that maybe one day she'd have a fairy tale like this too. Lady Tsunade came up and presented the sake that they'd share.

"Naruto, Hinata", she said motioning to the two, "once you share this cup, you'll be as one. No second thoughts?" she asked with a joking tone.

"Of course not! Tsunnade-baachan, I told you, I don't go back on my word. Especially to the one I love" he said looking at the beautiful lady who sweetly smiled at his side.

"Hmp. Just reminding. Oh and I'll be needing sake after this" she whispered the last statement as the couple in front of her laughed before taking the cup from her hand.

"And by the power vested on me, I pronounce you husband and wife!" she exclaimed as a round of applause came from the audience.

"You may kiss the bride" Tsunade said, shoving Naruto closer to Hinata. Naruto held her veil, undoing it and hugged her tight. His head was hanging on her shoulders, close to her ears as he whispered.

"I love you, so much"

"I love you more" she replied before Naruto released his hug, putting a small distance between their faces before caressing her porcelain face and kissing her lips gently but passionately. Another round of applause was heard from the crowd as they released their kiss. Their dreams were starting and together they'll be able to reach everything and anything. An ANBU Commander was also seen at the end of the aisle, together with a few other ANBUs at either side. As the girls threw petals at the newlyweds, the ANBUs raised their ninjatos forming a steel arc for the couple. Naruto reached out for the shoulder of the Commander with the bear-like mask with a few black claw-like figures painted at the forehead.

"Thanks Sai" he whispered. The man in the mask nodded in response as a silent smile decorated his face. He was never trained to be the kind of guy he is now, but thanks to Naruto he opened up, not only to Team 7 but to everyone. They went on their way to the reception hall, almost all of Konoha came to congratulate the village hero, knuckleheasd and number one prankster. The music started and the crowd began to clang their glasses for a dance.

It's her hair and her eyes today

That just simply takes me away

And the feeling that I'm falling further in love

Makes me shiver, but in a good way

"May I have this dance?" he asked, reaching for her hand.

"Y-Yes" she said and they made their way towards the dance floor to share their first dance as husband and wife.

Coz I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hands

Coz she's all that I see and she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

It's a masterful melody when she calls out my name to me

As the world spins around her she laughs, rolls her eyes

And I feel like I'm falling but it's no surprise

Coz I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hands

Coz it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea

But I'd rather be here than on land

Yes she's all that I see and she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

They danced and they didn't notice that a few had already joined them. Sasuke was with Sakura who were dancing a few steps close to them. Naruto signaled to the Uchiha for a switch which he nodded in understanding.

"Close your eyes" they said to their partners and they did. And after a twirl they switched partners.

"Sasuke-san?" Hinata said in a shocking tone.

"Congratulations again, Hinata. Hope you look after that dobe with care" he smiled. He wasn't usually like this. He'd never do something like this but Naruto's the closest person he had for a family when he had none.

"You could count on that" the lady dancing with him said with a smile. On the other hand Sakura was also surprised at the switch.

"Naruto?"

"Would it hurt for you to dance with me? It's not like Sasuke would dance with anyone else you know" he joked as they danced.

"I guess so" she said, watching Sasuke and Hinata dance.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, thanks for everything. Sasuke may not show or say it but I know he's thankful too" he said.

"Baka, I know that. Well, thank you too. For bringing him back and everything" she said hugging his teammate.

"Yeah"

"Hey, care to switch" Sasuke said, sounding impatient to get his lady back as he held Hinata's hand.

"Don't worry, she's all yours" he said as they made their exchange and continued dancing once again.

"Hinata-nee!" a little voice came towards the dancing couple.

"Ichirou-kun?" she said as the boy hugged her. He was in a formal kimono too, and Sasuke had given him permission to wear the Uchiha mark as it had the mark at his neckline.

"Omedetou!" he said with a smile.

"How about me Ichirou-kun?" Naruto asked with eagerness.

"Omedetou, Naruto-jisan" he said as he turned to his uncle's best friend. As Naruto returned the smile to the boy he began to scan the crowd and saw Atsuko sitting at one of the chairs and smiled at the couple. He whispered thanks as Ichirou began to tug his hand.

"Ne! Naruto-jisan, can I dance with Hinata-nee?"

"It's fine with me, as long as Hinata-nee is also fine with it" he said as he ruffled the boy's hair.

"My pleasure" Hinata said as the two began to dance. After a few minutes the music was lowered down as Iruka came up to the podium.

"Ahem… Naruto, Hinata, I know that you've requested me to have a speech, but someone important has a message for you" he announced, gaining everyone's attention. The Lady Hokage came up with a scroll in hand and began to read it.

"Dear Naruto," she read, "Your mom kept on nagging me to write this just in case something happens to me or both of us. So if you're hearing these words I'm sorry that we couldn't celebrate with you. Well, in a few months we'll be able to meet but no one knows what will happen in the next ten or twenty years. And because of that, I'm writing this letter to you as a reminder that whatever happened in your life, we've and we'll continue to watch over you wherever you are. I hope you achieve all your dreams; I've always wanted to teach you as many jutsus as possible and be the best shinobi the world has seen. And your mother and I know that the beautiful lady at your side is worthy of being called our daughter. We believe in you, our Son, never forget that. From the first time I heard I was having a son, I know what kind of man I want you to grow up to. It's just unlikely that I or both your mom and I, didn't have the chance to see you grow up. We have so many dreams for you and I hope by marrying the girl you love, you have achieved one of those dreams. We love you so much, both of you and our future granddaughters and grandsons. And it was signed, Namikaze Minato, The Yondaime Hokage… PS. Naruto, I hope that you have a wonderful life ahead of you, and I hope you'd take care of the woman you love, just like your father had loved me. Give her a sweet kiss from both of us. Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze" Tsunade said as she finished reading the scroll and started heading towards the blonde. Hinata couldn't help but gaze at his crying figure at every word that was read from that scroll. Tears dropped from his face and so he covered up with an arm. A lot of gasps and murmurs we're also heard from the crowd. Even Konoha 12 was shocked as the news. The villagers who heard it also asked themselves about why they didn't have any suspicions since Naruto really had a strong resemblance to the Yondaime. Tsunade came up to him and handed the scroll over. Without getting the scroll, he hugged the Hokage tight.

"Thank you, Tsunade-baachan" he remarked, as tears overflowed.

"It's destined to be yours, I only read it" she said.

"Still, thanks" he said, still emotional.

"Anytime gaki, anytime" she said as the hug loosened and he held the scroll before his hand slithered to Hinata's waist and held her close and kissed her forehead sweetly as said by his mom. The audience cheered for the newlyweds as they recovered from the news that was suddenly splashed in front of them. And with that the party went on as the night progressed deeper into the night.

Later that night when only a few of their close friends we're left at the venue, they slipped to the reception hall's garden. It had a large pond with an island and a little chapel-like building on it. The moonlight reflected at the waters as the two lovers enjoyed their time alone. Naruto hung himself at the parapet of one part and began to be lost in thought.

"Naruto-kun?" she said. Naruto turned to her, seeing her in that full kimono dress and under the moonlit night looked like a fantasy.

"You seem to be deep in thought" she said walking closer to him.

"Well, I didn't tell you much about my mom and dad but how come you weren't that surprised as the others? I feel a little guilty for keeping it from you" he said, bowing his head and looking away.

"If you didn't want me to know yet, why would I force the truth out of you? You know the person I am Naruto-kun. I hate forcing others, especially you and there's a time for everything" she said as he cupped his chin and rubbed his whisker marks. He held her hand as he turned his head to kiss her palm. He held her hand as he leaned towards the parapet, gazing at the full, and brightly lit skies.

"I'm tired. This day had been long enough…" he said as he sighed.

"Mhmm" she hummed as she took her place by his side, leaning on him.

"But I think we still have something to do" he said with a sly grin and suddenly lifted her up, bridal style.

"Naruto-kun!" she as, shocked by the sudden lift.

"Shall we?"

"Yes" she said as both of them slipped into the night. They reached his apartment, entered it without delay and closed the door behind them. The day had ended but the night had barely started.
