Chapter Twenty-One. Marriage.
"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes Courage is the quiet voice at the end of he day saying' "i will try again tomorrow"- Mary Anne Radmacher.
"WHAT?!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs in shock and furry.
"Sakura you heard me, your getting married tomorrow." Hyuuga answered.
"WHAT?!" Sakura screamed again, "I come home and this is the news you tell me."
"Sakura Hun, it's perfectly normal for girls your age to be married, especially princesses." Hyuuga Sakura's father said calmly.
"I'm sixteen almost seventeen I'm not ready for this, nor do I know the man." Sakura wailed.
"Your ready Saku, and many people have engagements set up sense birth, yours just happens to have been set up a month ago." Hyuuga answered.
"You didn't think to inform me?" Sakura screetched.
"No I didn't think it would be a big deal." Hyuuga said nonchalantly.
"BIG deal? Of course it's a big deal! It's my Fucking wedding. Something that only happens once in a girls life. Something for two people that love each other." Sakura hissed venomously.
"Would you like to meet the younge man?" Hyuuga asked trying to calm his daughter down.
"I don't give a damn about him, because I'm not marrying him tomorrow or ever." Sakura said as she stormed out of the room. Team Hebi following behind her.
"Am I going to become a vampire? Aimi did bite me and feed me her blood." Karin asked and stated.
"No, the blood only healed you if I would have killed you afterwards you would have but instead we saved you." Sakura growled still angry so Karin shut up.
She paired Karin and Suigustu together in a room and Sasuke and herself while Juugo got his own room. The rooms were huge Sakura's princess sweet had a huge White king sized bed with a golden strip of silk across it and golden pillows, she had stairs leading to a window room and a pool and hot tube. She had two bathrooms and a wolf, wait a wolf?
"Ah, Riley." Sakura said while petting her wolf.
"That's the werewolf right?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah." Sakura answered, Sasuke dropped the subject and watched Sakura pet the animal.
Sakura walked to a door and opened it and inside was her huge closet, the first thing Sakura noticed was a big white silk wedding dress, it was strapless and wrapped around her boobs in a good manner it wrapped right and then left making a cross pattern it was made to be tight on the upper torso and then around her belly button it was becoming looser and ruffled out to the right while the rest flowed straight to the ground the dress was beautiful but not Sakuras style. The dresses back had a ruffled flowing straight down her back and went fifteen feet behind her and a foot straight in the front.
I'm going to trip, was all Sakura could think about.
"How could he? My own father marry me off he's still young why wouldn't he want to stay king?" Sakura questioned and thought out loud.
"Is there any threat of him losing the title of king?" Sasuke asked.
"Not that I know of, but I know where we can find that out at?" Sakura and Sasuke Sneaked out of their room and ran down into the secret hall way Sakura was never suppose to go into. Sakura and Sasuke got into the hidden liabary and written on the wall was their family gasped at what she read. Only one word went through her head Why?
Sakura woke up in the morning to be greeted with Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Temari, and Aimi. Apparently it wasn't suppose to be the most miserable day of her life and she was suppose to enjoy it so her friends from Konoha came to watch the wedding.
Sakura explained everything to her friends excluding what she found out last night. UNO helped Sakura get into her dress without ruining her hair and make up. The other girls her bridesmaids wore light golden dresses. Sakura had Ino do her make up and she had Long thick black eyelashes that amplified her beauty times ten, she wore light eyeliner and gold eyeshadow, they put a light red lipstick on her cherry red lips.
Aimi did her hair she straightened it and then curled specific strands of hair underneath to give it volume and then bumped her bangs up to pull them out of her face and show off her beauty. Then placed the veil on and covered her face. As the bridesmaids walked out the met up with their dates Ino was with Shikamaru while Tenten went with Neji Naruto with Hinata and Temari and with the grooms brother, Aimi went with the grooms best friend.
Sasuke sat down with team Hebi, confused on why she would do this even after she learned the truth last night, didn't he mean anything to her, they had sex just a little over twenty- four hours ago, and The times and make outs they had even though short, mean more to her than a boy she'd never even met?
The music started and the bridesmaids and there dates or accompanies came out and lined up under the Sakura trees, there were about fifteen Sakura trees on both sides of the wedding area and then five in front and a red carpet for the walk way the area was beautiful.
Sakura walked out looking down shyly, when have I ever been shy? Look danger in the eye Hun. Sakura lifted her head and people gasped at how beautiful she looked. Suigutsu whistled lowly on for Sasuke to hear and whispered "Wow, missed out there." Sasuke growled for a response.
What was this feeling inside of his chest? Jealousy? No I can't be jealousy. I know my feeling for her I think Love, and seeing her with another man for the rest of her life angers me but I can't do anything about it Can I?
Sasu Inner: Tell her your feelings again, this time make sure she's awake.
Sasu: It's too late the weddings already begun.
Sasu Inner: Then trust in her, have faith she'll do what's right.
Sakura held her fathers hand and walked up the aisle to her soon to be husband. Sakura thought about running but doubted she'd get far in these damn six inch heels and dress. Sakura walked up beside her groom and stood there emotionless and turned to face the priest.
The wedding went on like it should in tell the priest asked the audience "Does anyone object, if not then hold your silence for now and for. "I OBJECT." Sakura inturupted the Priest.
Everyone gasped and looked surprise besides Naruto, Tusanda and Kakashi and the original twelve who smirked knowingly, they knew Sakura wouldn't get herself into something she didn't one want and two handle.
"I think you people, my people deserve to know the truth." Sakura said.
"Sakura." Hyuuga said angrily.
"Shut up, you've lied to me and your people sense I was born, I'm surprised you haven't learned to shut up by now." Sakura said Haughtily.
"You've been lied to by your own leader, Someone most of you included me would have trusted your life with." Sakura said.
"Isn't that right "Daddy." Sakura said furiously.
"I don't know what your talking about "Hun." Hyuuga smirked.
"Oh so you didn't kill my father? Your own brother and rightful ruler?" Sakura asked while people gasped.
"You dare acusse your own poor father of murder and adoption?" Hyuuga asked faking hurt.
"I don't accuse I know, you killed my father and sent my mother away, banding her from returning to the Land of Snow, you set her up to be bitten as a ascuse to keep her away from my father the king as you killed him and blamed it on some rouge ninjas, when I was born you sent me away to, and when you heard about me you brought me back to marry me off to a nephew of yours so you would remain in power, and I would lose my rightful throne as queen." Sakura said.
Her uncle didn't answer for sometime when he finally did as he said was " Yes I killed your father, and took the throne but I won't let a spoiled bitch like you stop me from keeping my power." Hyuuga growled momentarily forgetting about everyone watching.
Rei her best friend and servant at the house was smiling brightly at her. Did she know? Explains the smile.
"I hear by claim my title as Queen, I refuse to marry and you have three hours to pick your bags and get out or I'll hunt you down myself and kill you, I would now but I don't want to ruin my dress." Sakura said furiously.
"You can't just take over." Hyuuga protested.
"Actually with the councils approval she can." One of the council members offered up.
"Lets vote, all In favor of the man that killed my precious father? No one raised there hand. All In favor of me? The five council members hand and Naruto's shot up.
"It's official." Sakura said.
"What about the people what they need, you're not fit for ruling a whole country." Hyuuga spat.
"Your wrong I can Handel this, no big deal." Sakura said with a smirk coping his words.
"What about my son, he was promised a wedding with a rich princess." The grooms father yelled.
Sakura had seen how the groom looked at the girl in the third row, and how the girl returned his loving gaze. "Her." Sakura said while pointing at the girl.
"You don't even know her." the man protested.
"I don't have to know to people to tell that there In love." Sakura stated making both of them blush. "See, why don't you give your son something he'll actually be grateful for." Sakura said as she tossed the ring at her almost husband. He smiled gratefully at her.
Sakura walked down the aisle tripping over her dress and heels three times before stopping and pulled out a Kunia about to cut the dress Kakashi appeared and took it from her. "Sakura I don't think it's a smart idea to ruin the dress." Kakashi stated.
"Agh, I can't walk." Sakura said while taking the heels off. Sakura gave Kakashi the heels and gathered as much of the dress as possible in her two hands and walked slightly better to the house sputtering curses at her uncle, dress, people, and weddings.
"Damn. Dress... Never. Getting. ...Married." Sakura cursed. Ino laughed and said well see about that. Which earned a growl from Sakura, Sasukes team followed the original twleve inside With Tusanda and Jiriaya and Kakashi.
Sakura let out a small scream as she looked up at the stairs and asked Ino to carry her. Ino snorted and told her "In your dreams forehead."
"You can fight and kill Akatsuki members but can't walk up stairs?" Shikamaru asked.
"You haven't been outweighed by a dress Shikamaru so I suggested you shut up." Sakura growled at him.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru said.
"Sakura I thought you were actually going to get married there for a second." Naruto stated hugging his best female friend.
"Thanks for having faith in me Naruto." Sakura said while glaring at him.
"Aww I missed you glare!" Naruto yelled and jumped on her, successfully managing to tackle her to the ground.
"Naruto, you're heavy." Sakura breathed out and everyone laughed. Sasuke offered Sakura a hand up which Naruto took instead and said "Thanks Sasuke-Teme."
Sasuke growled and gave Sakura his hand again and she gladly took it. "So Sasuke are you going to be coming back to Konoha or am I going to have to fight you here and bring you back." Naruto asked taking his tux jacket off.
"I'm not coming back in tell Itachi's dead." Sasuke said coldly his hand still lingering by Sakura's.
Naruto was about to start fighting Sasuke when Sakura stepped in between the two well dressed boys and stated "Naruto, Sasuke doesn't have to come back in tell my mission is over. Max three months." Sakura said calmly while gripping his shoulder making him look at her.
Naruto growled when Tusanda and Jiraiya nodded and Kakashi said "She's right Naruto."
"It's safer for him to stay with Sakura for now the elders won't dare exchange words or glances with Sakura." Tusanda said with a light laugh as Sakura scowled.
"They'll try to kill Sasuke for betraying the leaf. But I won't let that happen." Naruto interrupted Tusanda who 'accidentally' slapped him on the back of the head.
"OOOWWW, you're punches hurt as much as Sakura's!" Naruto wailed and Sakura glared at Naruto.
Aimi walked in and said "Phew, Saku people are going crazy with questions, but hey dodged a bullet with that one didn't you."
"Yeah." Sakura said and laughed slightly.
"Two engagements in two months? And I'm the slut!" Aimi said jokingly and all the girls laughed.
"Next wedding you get dragged into we're at very least having a bachelorette party." Ino Said and laughed when Sakura grumbled about never wearing such a big, stupid dress again.
"Well queen let's get you out of that Big, stupid dress shall we?" Ino asked.
"Don't call me Queen." Sakura said as she through her arms around Ino and screamed "Yes." to getting the dress off.
The five girls acceded up the stairs and Thirty minuets later Sakura came down wearing a stapless short slightly poofy black dress that went a inch below mid thigh and had a scarlet red silk sideways stripe going across half her right breast down to her low torso. And then black jewels sewed into the hem, she wore three inch red wedge heels. Her hair and make up remained the same from the wedding just she unclipped her bangs and let them fall freely covering some parts of her face again.
The other girls changed into their colors of dresses, Hinata wore a light blue long fishtail dress, while Ino wore a Dark purple dress it was backless. Aimi wore a black dress that showed off lots of cleavage. Tenten wore a brown mid knee dress that was a light pink.
The girls met the guys in the frontroom where everyone was questioning Sasuke. When Sakura walked in the shut up knowingly.
"I have to deal with some finale changes, Kakashi I trust you can Handel everything and of you need help just call for Rei, she'll be more than happy to help you." Sakura said as she walked off.
Sakura's uncle walked in the front room " Where's Sakura we need to talk." Everyone glared at him and pointed every which way. Aimi stood up and her vampire features were evident in the sunlight. Before anyone could recall what happened Hyuuga had pulled out a gun with wooden bullets in it and said "I know your a vampire, my sister-in-law was a vampire, she'd have bloodlust moments and would try and kill me, let's just say wooden bullets worked best."
Ino stood up and he shot her too. Aimi was on the ground bleeding. "A little bullet." Aimi mocked but when she touched the bullet it burned her. "Your right normal bullets don't work but bullets covered in vervain do." Hyuuga called out. "Where's Sakura?" Hyuuga asked again.
Sakura appeared behind him and looked at the mess Aimi, and Ino both shot Ino possibly dead on the ground. "Looking for me." Sakura hissed flipping her humanity switch for a moment.
Sakura grabbed her uncle by the throat and threw him to the ground. And hissed at him he pulled the trigger aiming at her heart, but to his misery the bullet just bounced off her, and she hissed at him "I was born Vampire, born immortal." Sakura snarled at him and switched her humanity back on as she snapped her uncles neck.
She helped Ino first and bit her wrist and fed Ino her blood. Then helped Aimi and did the same. After an hour both girls where fine, and everyone was sitting by the fire and Aimi kept filling Sakura's drink up with more Alcohol. "One less family member." Sakura said and raised her shot and gulped it down.
Sasuke was sitting beside her and grabbed her hand in a reassuring way, this went unnoticed by many in tell Naruto yelled. "Get your hands off Sakura-chan!"
"You have know idea where my hands have been on 'Sakura-chan' ." Sasuke snarled and then mocked the chan suffix.
"You raped her! You sick bastard." Naruto said about to lunge at Sasuke but Sakura's voice stopped him.
"He didn't rape me Naruto!" Sakura said annoyance evident in her voice.
"You had Sex." Aimi stated with a knowing smirk and then hugged her friend "I'm so proud of you." Aimi squealed, while Sakura groaned sinking lower into her chair.
"Well I thought I saw the after sex glow on you but just thought it was coincidental, but No you did 'it'." Aimi smiled widly.
"Ino squealed and the other girls dragged Sakura away asking her all sorts of questions. While Sasuke just sat there getting glares from all the males and Karin, but she classified as a male, right?
"Answer one thing Sasuke." Kakashi demanded.
"Hn." Sasuke said with a quirk of his eyebrow indicating he was indeed listening.
"Do you love her?" Kakashi asked and everyone was on the tips of their chairs waiting for Sasuke's answer.
"Yes." Sasuke said confidently.
"Have you told her." Naruto practically yelled.
"That's more than on question." Sasuke stated.
"You don't have to be a bastard all the time, Why would Sakura have slept with you, your a cold hearted jackass." Naruto yelled.
"He's not to her." Karin grumbled madly.
"I tried to tell her after we had sex but I took to long and she fell asleep." Sasuke answered.
"Try again when the times right, and without Sex." Naruto said probably the smartest thing he'd ever said in his whole life.
"Don't hurt her Sasuke." Tusanda said.
"This could be very bad for Konoha." Tusanda stated.
"How Granny-Tusanda?" Naruto questioned.
"Well the elders hate Sakura, and would do anything in their power to kill her after she deals with the Akatsuki of course. Well if Sasuke returns, assuming you're going to return? Sasuke nodded and Tusanda continued, The elders will first interrogate you and you're team if they come with you, and Danzo will most likely put Sakura as the interrogator and if she refused to hurt you to get information, he'll proclaim she's a traitor of the village and try an one kill her two banish her or three lock her up in jail." Tusanda said with a sigh.
"What if I give her all the information I know then she won't have to hurt me or betray the village." Sasuke half asked half stated.
"Danzo would simply say you or her were lying and there was more." Tusanda said.
"What if I have a sighed document by the Third himself prompting Sasuke on leaving the village for a mission/ avenger quest, in tell he learns the truths out the Uchiha clan?" Sakura asked leaning on the back of Sasuke's chair.
"How and Why would this document have existence? And If this document is real why haven't I seen it?" Tusanda asked.
"Because, I talked to the Third in the spirit world he explained everything to me, showed me a glimpse of the future and gave me a document that Danzo destroyed after his death he had a spare he died with, let's just say the spirits gave it to me." Sakura said with a smile.
"When was this Sakura?" Tusanda asked.
"About a year ago, sense I got it I planned out a lot of ways to take the elders down, without a massacre." Sakura said.
Sakura told the group some of her idea's and the group said they'd keep in touch and Naruto, Ino, Shikimaru, Hinata, tenten, and Neji would be traveling with them for now and would be helping Sakura with her two missions, killing the Akatsuki and Bringing Sasuke home.
