'BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR' Sakura's phone vibrated in her bed for the 3rd time for the morning indicating it was time to get up. She blinked slowly before feeling the vibration.

"AAAAAH-" she screamed but quickly put a hand over her mouth. She looked at the clock and silently cursed under her breath, not wanting to wake her sleeping friends. She ran her fingers through her bed hair and sighed.

'I told Sasuke I would come in the morning and I'm already an hour late. I better go take a bath.' She thought to her self. She rolled out of bed and tip toed to the bathroom not wanting to wake her friends.

Once she was in the bathroom, she turned the silver knob and crystal clear hot water filled the white Jacuzzi like tub. She squeezed her strawberry crème scented body wash in the water. She stripped herself of her pajamas and let out her hair. She stepped into the pool of hot water and bubbles.

"I better be quick." She told her self. She looked at her slender legs and decided they needed to shave.

"Damn." She cursed under her breath. So much for quick.

-!-

-?-

-!-

About 20 minutes later, Sakura slipped on her black satin robe and emerged from the bathroom.

"Your late." She heard a male voice say.

"Sasuke…I'm sorry, I over slept and stuff." She said looking down to the floor, letting her wet hair drip.

"Hn." He said as he stood in front her. He lifted her chin and stared into her emerald eyes. The shoulder of her robe was slowly sliding off of her porcelain skin like water.

Sasuke slowly brought his face to hers as she let her eyelids fall. And finally, their lips made contact.

"Cough…" Ino said. They ignored her as if she wasn't even in the room.

"COUGH!"

"COUGH COUGH!"

"Oh…morning guys." Sakura said as a blush crept on her face.

"Get dressed. I'll be down stairs." Sasuke said her and then left the room.

Sakura took a white towel and wrapped her pink hair in it.

"Now, what to wear…" She stepped into her walk in closet. She grabbed a white short shorts and a green spaghetti strap long shirt.

"Come on Sakura, let me fix your hair." Ino said grabbing Sakura's blow dryer, oil sheen, and flat iron.

"Okay, but you gatta be quick." Sakura said sitting in the chair in front of her vanity table. Ino starting drying her hair out as Sakura applied some gloss to her lips.

15 minutes later.

"There, 15 minute hair styles by Ino." Ino smiled. Ino had flat ironed Sakura's hair with just a few light curls.

"Okay, thanks Ino. Now I really gatta go. Bye guys!!" Sakura said running out of the door.

-!-

-?-

-!-

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Today is my wedding day!! I cant believe its finally here!! Thanks so much Mrs. Uchiha, for everything, your like the mother I never had. I'm so lucky." Tears streamed down Yumi's face as she hugged Mrs. Uchiha.

"No problem at all Yumi." Mrs. Uchiha said.

"Mrs. Uchiha…Mrs. Haruno is here." Carlos the butler said.

"Hey everybody." Mrs. H said.

"You too, Mrs. Haruno, with out you, this would not be possible. I'm so happy! Thank you both for everything you've done." She engulfed them in hugs.

"Don't worry bout it! Any time!" Mrs. H said popping a piece of gum in her mouth.

Ally walked into the Uchiha mansion, trying to remember where her mother said to meet her. She headed to the stairs not even paying attention to where she was going.

'Lets see…go up the stairs, go straight down the hall…no, no that's not it, it's a big double door…' Ally's train of thought was suddenly broken when she bumped into a yawning Gaara.

"Ow…oh my gosh, I'm so sorry…" She rubbed her forehead until she realized Gaara's hands on her petite arms holding her up.

"It's okay." He said letting go of her.

"Hey, uh, you here for Sasuke?" He asked her scratching his red bed hair.

"No, no! I just uh…" At that moment her mind was blank. She couldn't even remember why she was there.

"Hey you guys, watcha doing?" Sakura came walking in sucking on a hot chocolate from Starbucks.

'Thank you God' Ally thought to her self.

"Oh, Ally, is mom here?"

"Yeah, she's right upstairs." Ally sudden regained control of her self.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Ally, this is Gaara, Gaara this is my sister Ally." Sakura introduced them. Ally smiled and waved. Gaara nodded.

"Is this the one that you told me about?" Gaara asked.

"No, no! This is her twin. The nice one." Sakura explained.

"Oh." He said quietly.

"Well, I'll be upstairs if you need me…" Sakura said and then slipped away, leaving the two alone.

"So…"

"So…"

"Um…Sakura tells me your father recently passed away. I'm sorry, that must have been hard." Ally said offering him a smile.

"Yeah…" Gaara looked down to the floor. He really wasn't good at conversation. It had been so long since he truly opened up to someone.

"Oh…Am I making you uncomfortable? I'm sorry! Its okay if you don't want to talk about it I mean, I probably wouldn't either. Oh...I must sound so annoying to you. I'm not making much sense, I should just go." Ally said.

"No. I'm just not that talkative. You don't have to go." He said. He didn't want to seem like he didn't like her, or didn't want to talk to her.

"I'm not that talkative either, you see, my twin sister Akira…" She started to tell the story. Gaara sat on the couch and motioned for her to sit too.

"Yay, Sasuke they're getting along!" Sakura said from not to far away, she and Sasuke were hiding behind a wall spying on the redhead and blonde.

"Hn. Can we go now?" He said. He honestly didn't see the point in spying on them.

"Yeah, we can go." She said. She slowly slipped her arms around him, engulfing him in a hug. He was shocked for a moment by her action, but then his arms surrounded her small frame. He lowered his head to her neck and placed soft kisses on her skin.

"I love you Sasuke." She whispered against his chest. A feeling of safety and protection came over her whenever she and Sasuke were together.

"I love you too." Those simple words, simple and clean, meant so much.

-!-

-?-

-!-

"OH MY GOD! There is a STAIN on my dress!!" Yumi yelled through tears.

"What? A STAIN? Oh no…Okay don't panic Yumi, I'll have this fixed in no time!" Mrs. H said. She grabbed the white dress and the keys to her red Mustang.

"Yumi, it's 3 'o clock. That means there is only 2 hours till the wedding. I think its time for everyone to start getting dressed." Mrs. H advised Yumi.

"Okay."

-!-

-?-

-!-

"Hey Sakura…" Ino walked into Sasuke's room only to see her best friend and her boyfriend asleep. Sasuke was on the floor leaning against his bed. Sakura was sitting in his lap with his arms around her waist. They were both asleep.

"They've been like that for the past hour." Shikamaru came out of nowhere.

"Shika…when did you get here?" Ino asked him.

"Last night, we slept over." He answered her.

"Oh…Where are the others?"

"In Itachi's room."

They heard a soft moan and immediately turned their attention to the couple. Sakura had just woke up.

"Everyone, start getting dressed please! We only have 2 more hours till the wedding." Yumi burst into the room.

"Alright." Sakura said. She turned around to Sasuke and ran her fingers through his soft hair. She hated waking him up, but she had to. She whispered his name into his ear.

"Sasuke…wake up, it's time to get dressed." She said to him. He slowly opened his eyes.

"What?" He said now fully awake.

"We have to start getting dressed now Sasuke." She said.

"We don't have to." He smirked tightening his grip on her.

"Sasuke…" She giggled struggling to get up out of grip. He brought his face closer to hers and then covered her lips with his.

"Um… hello, we're in the room." Ino said turning her head.

"Troublesome." Shikamaru said.

"Right. See you soon." Sakura said getting one more kiss in before going to get dressed.

"Yeah." Sasuke said quietly.

"Hey lover boy, we gatta go to Itachi's room. Neji and Naruto and the grooms men are there waiting." Shikamaru explained.

"I've never heard you say so many words." Sasuke smirked but none the less followed Shikamaru.

Tokyo Grand Resort.

Presidential Suit on the top floor.

3:30 pm.

"Pedro, pick up my suit, and bring me a bottle my favorite wine. Hurry." Fugaku ordered his assistant.

"Yes Uchiha-sama." Pedro answered with fear in his voice. He sped out of the room in a hurry.

"Korime, tell me, do you know this Sakura Haruno girl?" Fugaku asked the head fan girl.

"Oh, yes. We're classmates." She answered him gladly.

"I see. Are you two friends?" He looked at her sternly.

"No, no! Why would I want to be friends with her?" Korime spat with a look of disgust on her face.

"I see. Are you friends with Sasuke?" He inquired her more. She was truly enjoying this, talking with Sasuke's father, made her feel like part of the family.

"Oh, I love Sasuke, more any other person on this planet does. But Sasuke completely ignores us fan girls. It's so unfair. I'm in love with him, I really am." She poured her heart out about her feelings toward Sasuke.

"That's good to know. You may be of some use to me. Well, thank you Miss. Korime. I will get back to you later." He thanked her while getting up to show her to the door.

"Oh, no problem! Any time! Oh please do get back to me, I would love to help you out." Korime said, her eyes sparkling.

"Mrs. H? Oh its you Sakura. There's your dress, I guess you can start changing." Yumi was just waiting for Mrs. H to come running through the doors with her dress. She was so nervous and the fact that she didn't have her dress didn't make it any better.

"What's wrong Yumi?" Sakura asked taking her dress off of the hanger.

"My dress has a stain on it so your mother took it to have it cleaned and she isn't back yet, nor has the people who are doing our hair nails. I'm so worried, what if they don't come or she doesn't come with my dress on time." Yumi was close to tears.

"Yumi, don't worry, they'll all come in time." Sakura tried to reassure her.

"Yumi! We're here, lets get this party started!" A female voice came.

"Hannah! Sammy! You're here! Oh I missed you guys!! I have to show you your dresses!" Yumi said running to hug her two best friends.

"Of course we're here, how could we miss it? Our little Yumi is getting married. I think I'm gonna cry. And I don't want to mess up my make up!" Hannah exclaimed sitting by the vanity table. She was very petite and beautiful. She was kind of short with long blonde hair that was always curled up. She was full on girly girl.

"Oh Hannah, your such a girly girl. Let me see my dress, I hope it's not to girly." Sammy said. She had black hair and blue eyes. She was slim but not as slim as Hannah. Her hair had a few streaks of blue in it. She was also pretty but really wasn't that into dating. She was the opposite of Hannah, she was a tomboy.

"Oh yeah, we brought everyone too. Ya know, all the boys." Hannah said touching up her lip gloss.

"Where are they?" Yumi questioned.

"Don't know. Don't care. They walked in the door and that was the last I seen of them." Sammy said examining her dress.

"So…Do you like it?" Yumi asked her.

"Alright, red and black. Awesome." Sammy smiled throwing a fist in the air.

"Wait, wait, wait, I thought that wearing red and black at weddings was bad luck." Hannah looked confused as to why Yumi would want such colors at her wedding.

"Yes, it is. But Itachi and I plan to beat those odds. We're going to turn that bad luck into good luck." Yumi words were full of hope.

"I'm back! I have the dress!" Mrs. H said speeding through the door with Mrs. Uchiha trailing behind her.

"What's this? Why isn't anyone dressed? Come on, come on, we don't have all day people!!" Mrs. H started laying the dresses out for everyone to put on. Then got out her cell phone dialed a number.

"Where the hell are you? I told you to be here 3:30, its 3:45." Mrs. H yelled into the phone.

Response.

"I don't care whose sweet 16 it is! We had a deal! Now get down here now!" Mrs. H demanded the stylist. She snapped her phone shut.

Everyone's jeans and shirts were thrown on the floor as everyone wiggled into their dresses.

-!-

-?-

-!-

"We're here! Where's the bride? She's getting done first." The stylist walked in with her crew.

"Finally. There's the bride. Please be quick, you have 3 other girls waiting." Mrs. Uchiha said. The crew rushed over to Yumi, taking out all of their supplies.

Ino was fixing Hinata and TenTen's hair and make up. Everyone was so busy, trying to get everything perfect.

Sakura decided to go see how the boys were doing. They probably were doing much better than the girls. Sakura was about to walk right pass Mr. Uchiha's office…

"Sakura, could you spare a moment?" A voice called out. At that moment, Sakura knew who that was. Mr. Uchiha.

"Um…Okay." The words barely made it out of her mouth as she struggled to make her body move towards the room.

"I won't take up much of your time; I'd like to make a proposal with you." He said to her.

She slowly made her way in. "What's your proposal?" She asked.

"Break up with Sasuke." He said bluntly.

"What? How is that a proposal?" She had never felt so shocked and some what scared in her life. How could he ask her to do such a thing?

"Well…if you don't you will regret it." He said chuckling to himself.

"Well…I reject your so called 'proposal'. I will not break up with Sasuke." Sakura said making it clear to him that she didn't care what he threw at her.

"I see. You may go." He said. She took one last glance at the look on his face before walking out.

"Why were you in there?" Sakura turned around to face Gaara. He had his suit on and everything. She was contemplating on whether or not she should tell him. What was the point of bringing it up? She had already put it in the back of her head.

"No reason." She said nonchalantly.

"I know Sasuke's dad is here. I saw him come in. That's his office. I know he's in there. Now tell me why you were in there." Gaara said crossing his arms.

Gaara had his facts straight, he had her cornered. She had no choice.

"He just wanted to talk." She answered not going into any details.

"Yeah? About what?" He asked.

"Okay. He told me to break up with Sasuke or I would regret it. I don't know what he meant by regret it. I told him no and he said I'd regret it." She explained quietly.

"But that stays between me and you okay?" She said.

"Okay. I guess." Gaara wasn't to sure about it, but decided to not think about.

"Sakura! Come on, you're the last person and then we leave for the wedding." Mrs. H called out in her stunning green ball gown.

"Coming!" She replied.

When Itachi got there he was taking over by the beauty of the garden where they were to get married. The guest's chairs were wooden and white with a red bow on each chair that was to the end of the isle. There were rose petals everywhere and the air was fresh and crisp. There were white stepping stones going straight down the isle leading up to a big cherry blossom tree. Everything looked lovely.

"Are you…Itachi Uchiha?" A minister asked.

"Yes sir." Itachi answered.

"Oh that's good to know. I'm Reverend Morrison, and I'll be officiating this wedding." Rev. Morrison held his hand out for Itachi to shake it. Itachi gave him a firm shake.

"So, what time does it start?" The Rev. asked. Itachi looked at his watch and his eyes slightly widened.

"In 5 minutes."

With the girls….

"Okay. Sakura and Sasuke walk up first. Then Sammy and Deidara, and last Hannah and Kisame. Then the bride walks up. Got it? Good. Now follow me or we're gonna be late." Mrs. H instructed. She lead them to the garden, and instructed the DJ to start the music.

"Sakura, go!" Mrs. H instructed.

(To set the mood, I would play Somebody's Me by Enrique Iglesias while everyone is walking up.)

Sakura put on a soft smile and held her flowers in front of her. She walked up to meet Sasuke at the starting of the isle. Sasuke held out his hand for and she gladly took it. They walked slowly down the isle. When they got to Rev. They let go and walked to their respected spaces. Ino was taking pictures like crazy while Hinata and TenTen waved and gave thumbs up.

Next Sammy and Diedara. Deidara had a grin on his face when he saw Sammy in a dress. She never wore skirts or dresses. Sammy slapped him on the arm and he suddenly straightened up and offered her his hand. But as soon as she took it he was sorry he ever gave it to her. Sammy's grip on his hand was so tight that his hand was starting to turn colors. Yumi couldn't help but laugh at her friends.

Lastly, Kisame and Hannah. Kisame held out his hand, Hannah took his hand and walked up that isle like a model. It looked weird because it looked like she was dragging him.

This time Itachi smirked at them.

"Okay Yumi, this is moment, your time to shine. Go on." Mrs. H told her. Yumi took a breath and then, started to walk. Everyone was taking pictures and gasping at how beautiful she looked in her dress. She giggled as she made her way to Itachi.

"He probably didn't tie that tie. I don't think he knows how." Yumi thought.

"Damn this tie, so flipping tight." Itachi thought, resisting the urge to rip the tie.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. We are gathered here today to celebrate the bond between these two people." ( I wont make this long AT ALL. Lol.)

"Who gives this woman to this man?" The Rev. asked.

Five guys in swim trunks stood up. "Uh…That'll be us." A blonde with wet hair said for the 5 guys. Yumi, Sammy, and Hannah started giggling.

"And you are?" The Rev. asked.

"Um, the bride's best friends."

"Yumi?"

"Yes. I don't know my parents. So their giving me away." Yumi said softly.

"Now. Itachi and Yumi, you two are about to make a very serious decision to become life long partners."

"Itachi, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife in the presence of these witnesses? Do you vow that you will do everything in your will to make your love her a growing part of you life? Will you continue to strengthen it form day to day, week to week with your best resources? Will you stand by her in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and you will shun all others and keep yourself to her and her alone as long as you both shall live?" The Rev asked looking Itachi straight in the eye.

"I do." Itachi said. The minister motioned for him to slip the wedding ring on Yumi's finger.

"Yumi, do you take this man to be your wedded husband in the presence of these witnesses? Do you vow that you will do everything in your will to make your love him a growing part of you life? Will you continue to strengthen it form day to day, week to week with your best resources? Will you stand by him in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and you will shun all others and keep yourself to him and him alone as long as you both shall live?" The Rev asked Yumi.

"I do." She answered. Yumi slipped the ring on Itachi's finger.

"Now, if anyone has any reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." The Rev said.

Mr. Uchiha stood. "I do not approve of this wedding." He said.

"That's wonderful for you. May you and your approval have a long and happy life. Rev, please continue the ceremony." Mrs. H said. Being the wedding planner, she thought of it as her duty to make this wedding perfect.

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The Rev said. Itachi lifted the white veil to reveal Yumi's beautiful amber eyes. He put one hand on her cheek and the other around her waist. He claimed her lips in a slow and gentle kiss. Hannah started tearing up, while Sammy tried to hide her own tears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha." Yumi and Itachi walked down the isle for the first time as a married couple.
