Chapter 21: The Uzumaki Wedding

They were both awoken by the sound of pounding on their door at 10 and they both groaned, typical par Naruto wanted to ignore it. Unfortunately though, Ino knew how it worked, if they didn't answer it then whoever it was would just knock louder. Ino slipped out of the bed and put on Narutos boxers and shirt as she walked to the door and opened it up too see Sakura standing there, Ino rolled her eyes with a sigh, "What do you want Sakura?"

Ino had been extremely happy that the pink haired kunoichi had left her and Naruto alone over the last few months after Naruto had threatened her. Sakura looked at her old friend and sighed and noticed that Naruto wasn't standing by Ino like normal, "Where is Naruto at Ino?"

Ino rolled her eyes at the question and looked at Sakura, "MY fiance is in our bed since I wore him out last night and I would really like to rejoin him."

Sakura heard that Ino had put extra emphasis on the word my, "I know that he is yours Ino, I don't like it but I know he won't leave you, he made that clear."

Ino smiled at this, she was glad that someone who seemed to always want what she had now realized she couldn't have her Naruto, "Then what is it that you want?"

Naruto had noticed that Ino was still gone, with a groan as he slipped on while grabbing some shorts as well as a beater while walking out of the bedroom and stood in the hallway, "Ino-chan are you coming back to bed babe?"

Ino looked back at Naruto then gave him a smile, "Yeah I will be back in a second Naruto-kun, just have to get rid of our guest."

Naruto looked over Inos shoulder too see that Sakura was standing there smiling at him and he rolled his eyes as he went and got a cup of water. Ino looked back at Sakura who was blushing from seeing Naruto and snapped her fingers in Sakuras face, "What do you want Sakura, I want to go lay back down with my fiance."

Sakura extended her hand too Ino, all Ino did was look at it and then back at Sakura, "I wanted to tell you as well as show you that no matter how big a mistake Naruto is making by being with you I will stop trying to steal him from you."

Ino didn't really care for the phrasing that she used by slowly shook Sakuras hand and nodded her head to her then closed the door. She turned to see Naruto leaning on the wall in the hallway looking at her, "You don't actually believe her do you baby?"

Ino looked at him and smiled at him, "I don't believe a word that came out of her mouth Naruto-kun, she will keep trying to take you from me but she won't succeed."

Naruto smiled at his fiance and kissed her cheek as he handed her the cup of water then lifted her up to carry her back to their bedroom, "The only person that can make us stop being together is you Ino-chan, don't worry about anyone else, so lets go get some more sleep."

Ino put her arm around Narutos neck and smiled at him as he carried her to their room like he always did, "Sounds as if you are stuck with me forever then Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled as he laid her down on their bed then laid down with her, Ino made quick work of taking off his shirt and laid her head down on his chest making him smile, "I would love if it was just me and you forever Ino-chan."

Ino kissed Narutos chest and nuzzled her head and yawned, "Good because that is how it will be Naruto-kun...just you..me..forever."

Naruto smiled as she felt her breathing go to a calm and steady pace making him know that she was asleep. He held her close to him as he stroke her hair as he felt sleep clinging at him and he fell asleep as well. They woke back up at 1 to the sound of yelling and pounding at the front door, they both groaned, it was Kiba and Hinata fighting again, well it was usually just Kiba getting yelled at. Naruto held Ino to the bed so she couldn't get up, "Maybe if we don't answer then they will go away, they aren't like everyone else."

Ino smiled as she laid her head back on Naruto and then they heard the deadbolt unlock making him sigh loudly, "I forgot that we gave them a key, why did we do that?"

Ino couldn't remember at the time, she just knew that she wished that they hadn't at the moment and then their bedroom door busted open and Hinata stood there looking at them as Naruto pulled the sheet up on them, "I knew they were home!"

Ino and Naruto looked over at the bedroom door and Naruto looked at them as he sighed, "I want the key we gave you two back alright Kiba?"

Hinata looked at the two blonds and then looked over at Kiba and yelled, "Well tell them what you did this time!"

Kiba scratched the back of his head and then looked over at Hinata, "But I don't know what I did Hinata, all I did was ask if I could make lunch today."

Naruto groaned and rolled over in the bed putting his back to his friends, he wanted no part in such a stupid fight. To be honest Ino felt like doing the same thing as her fiance, "Why does him wanting too make lunch have to be a big deal Hinata?"

Hinata looked at Ino in surprise, "Well it means that he doesn't like my cooking obviously, if he did like it he wouldn't want to make the food."

Kiba scratched his head as he looked at her some more, "I just wanted to try and give you the day off is all Hinata..."

Hinata stormed out of Naruto and Inos apartment leaving Kiba there as he looked at her and sighed as his gaze returned to the two blonds, "I don't understand...she just gets mad at me for everything that I do."

Naruto turned back around to look at his friend, "Try to have an actual conversation with her that doesn't drag Ino and I into it, I personally don't like to play referee for your marriage. If you do that then maybe things can work out for you."

Ino laid her head down on her actual pillow as she started to drift off to sleep and Naruto looked at Kiba. Kiba nodded and then left their apartment and yelled an apology to them and Naruto put his arm around her inhaling her smell as he kissed the back of her neck, "You smell like flowers babe." Ino smiled as she fell asleep with her fiance holding her.

Like a blink of the eye the next couple months passed and it was time for their wedding, Naruto stood at the aisle and looked nervous. There were so many things that could go wrong with this day and he looked over at his friend and best man Kiba who currently was in a trial separation with Hinata. Standing next to him was Neji who was currently in his second month into a relationship with TenTen, both of the of the said women were standing on the other side of the alter as they all waited for Ino. The music started and Ino was walked down the aisle with Inoichi in a stunning white dress making Naruto smile at the mere sight of her. When she got to the end of the aisle Naruto walked over and shook hands with Inoichi, he then escorted Ino to the front with a large smile as he continued to look at her, "You look so beautiful Ino-chan."

Ino blushed as she stood there and looked over at him, "You look extremely handsome as well Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled at her and then they stood there as they went through the ceremony, when they arrived at the end of the ceremony he gave her a chakra filled kiss. Ino stood there in daze, then when he stopped the chakra filled kiss he gave her another quick kiss to snap her out of it, "I love those kisses Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled at her as he looked at her and ran his hand on her cheek, "You can have as many of them as you want Mrs. Uzumaki."

Ino smiled at him as he said her new last name and he offered her his arm as he escorted her down the aisle and to their reception. The two of them sat at the head table with Neji, TenTen, Kiba, Hinata, Inoichi and Ina. Hinata was sitting on the other side of the table from Kiba who was staring intensely at his wedding ring, Naruto and Ino were worried about the two of them. Hinata was getting mad at him for every little thing as Kiba was fighting and trying desperately to save their marriage. Ino was leaning her head of Narutos shoulder and he smiled at her then looked at his friend and Hinata was looking at Kiba as well. Naruto kissed Ino on the forehead to get her attention, as she looked at him she smiled as he kissed her on the lips, "Care to dance Mrs. Uzumaki?"

Ino smiled as she nodded her head yes, Naruto stood up and offered her his hand as she grabbed it he helped her up then escorted her to the dance floor and put his hands on her hips as she put her hands around his neck. Naruto smiled at her as they danced and leaned his forehead against hers, then everyone stopped dancing when they heard yelling, "NO I WILL NOT DANCE WITH YOU!"

They looked over at Hinata who was storming away from Kiba and they sighed, "Poor Kiba, he is trying so hard to work things out with her... Promise me we will never be like that Ino-chan."

Ino smiled as she looked at him then rested her head on his chest as they started to dance again, "I promise we will never be like that Naruto-kun, do you know what she is even acting like this for?"

Naruto looked at the top of her head and then back over at Kiba who was sitting at the table staring at this wedding ring again, "He didn't come home right away after his last mission, but to be honest I can't say I really blame him, we hear him getting yelled at all the time for the stupidest things."

Ino nodded her head as she felt bad for Kiba, "He stares at his wedding ring all the time, I wonder if they will be able to work things out."

Naruto just continued to hold her as they slowly danced and she tightened her hold on Naruto, "They are both my friends but I think that they are going to end in divorce towards the end."

Ino sighed it was depressing that two of her good friends would probably get divorced but Naruto was right about that, "Probably, but we will last forever Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her gently on her lips then smiled at her again, "Yes we will gorgeous Mrs. Uzumaki."

The newlyweds continued to dance until Inoichi and Ina came over, "Naruto, mind if I have a dance with my daughter?"

Naruto smiled at his father in law and then stopped dancing with his wife, gave her a quick kiss then handed Inos hand to Inoichi. He smiled as he watched Ino and her father dance and he looked at Ina, "Would you like to dance Mrs. Yamanaka?"

Ina smiled at her new son in law and she took his hand and he danced with her next to Inoichi and Ino as Inoichi smiled at his daughter, "You enjoy your wedding princess?"

Ino smiled at her father and nodded her head, "Yeah, it was a beautiful and I got to marry the man that I love which makes it a perfect day."

Naruto was dancing with Ina and heard Ino and when the two danced past Ino he kissed her cheek quickly, "I love you more Ino Uzumaki."

Ino blushed as Naruto kissed her cheek and professed his love for her with her new name and she looked at him, "No, I love you more Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto smiled at her and winked at her, "Don't think so my dear but it is your day so I will let you win today."

The newlyweds stopped dancing with Inos parents since it was time for cake, he escorted his wife back to the table as they ate it and Inos choice of cake had been perfect, she had Naruto try multiple pieces but he always said that they tasted good but she should pick. They finished eating cake and Naruto looked at Ino as she cuddled into his shoulder, he smiled and leaned down by her ear and whispered into it, "If you want wife then I will sing for you in front of everyone today."

Ino smiled at Naruto, when they first started dating he didn't want her telling people he could sing and she always found it special as a thing between them two. Irregardless, he was her husband and she wanted to show him off, "If you want to sing for me then I will allow you too husband."

Naruto looked at her and kissed her cheek then whispered back into her ear, "That isn't what I said babe, I said if you want me too I will but you have to pick the song."

Ino smiled at him and looked into his blue eyes then leaned in and kissed him gently, "I want you too sing Amazed for me Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled at her and kissed her passionately before he stood up and walked over to the stage, Naruto grabbed a guitar and tapped the mic getting everyone's attention, "Usually I only doing this for my gorgeous wife but I want her to have the best day possible and she loves when I sing for her, so all of you are going to learn something knew today."

Ino stood and walked over to the stage and looked at her husband as he started to strum the guitar and he smiled at her as he started to play the song.

"Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you"

Ino blushed as she listened to her husband sing and she looked around at all the women looking at him with lust in their eyes which she didn't care for. She walked up the steps to sit on the stool and Naruto smiled at her then sang directly to her no longer facing the crowd. All the women were looking at Ino with envy in their eyes, Ino sat there and smiled as she saw this and listened to Naruto as she looked at him and he sang her song for her.

"The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you."

As Naruto finished he leaned in and gave Ino a deep and passionate kiss, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him in deeper. Their tongues played with each others and as they broke he smiled at her as she ran her hand on his cheek and he winked at her, "Would you like me too sing I'll Be for you as well beautiful?"

Ino thought about it and then nodded her head, she pulled him in close and whispered in his ear, "I am going to give you a proper thank you on our honeymoon, wherever we are going since you won't tell me where we are going."

Naruto smiled at her while winking at her, he hadn't told her that they were going to an island resort and too a fancy hotel. Naruto then started to strum the guitar and kissed her one more time before he started.

"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above"

Ino smiled as she started to rest her head on her hands as she stared at the man who had become her husband and he looked at her as he smiled at her. She really did love to hear him sing and he had always loved to sing for her as long as it pleased her, she was also enjoying how envious all the other women were as well. Apparently no matter mature she got there would always be the underlying need to show off what was hers. She was definitely going to make sure that Naruto was repaid for what he was doing for her right now, he really didn't seem like he was comfortable singing in public.

"I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life. "

Naruto finished and Ino stood up coming over to her quickly and hugged him then she kissed him gently on his lips. Ino then looked at all the women who were staring at them and she grabbed the microphone, "Remember that he is mine or else I will kick all your asses."

Naruto smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck making her cheeks erupt into a crimson blush and she looked back at him, "I love you Ino-chan, you know that no woman can hold a candle to you in my eyes."

Ino smiled at her husband and grabbed his hand as she led him off of the stage while all the women were still staring at Naruto. Ino still felt like she had to get the point across that he was hers so she sat him down on a seat and sat on his lap making him smile. Naruto put his arms around her and held her on his lap as he smiled at her and kissed her lips gently, "Ino-chan you are such a jealous woman, I love that about you though."

Ino smiled as she looked at him and leaned her head on his shoulder so that she could kiss his cheek, "I have seen how you are glaring at all the guys Naruto-kun so your a jealous man, but I love you for it as well."

Naruto smiled as he held her close, the rest of the night was like a blur to the blond newlyweds then it was time to leave. They both changed into more suitable clothes before leaving for their honeymoon as a long limo pulled up. Naruto and Ino got into the limo to go to the airport then they were off, Ino resting her head on Narutos lap, sleeping soundly as he stroked her hair. The driver knocked on the window to get Narutos attention as he looked back, "We are about 3 minutes from the airport if you want to wake up your wife sir."

Naruto nodded in thanks as he stroked her cheek and gently shook her, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him with smile, "We are almost at the airport Ino-chan, you should wake up."

Ino nodded as she sat up and fixed her hair as the limo pulled up to the airport, Naruto grabbed their bags and they walked to the gate and waited for the flight. The time came and they checked their bags then got onto the plane, Naruto had paid for first class making her smile as they sat in first class and Ino rested her head on his shoulder agian. The flight was quick and then they landed on the Island of Palms making Inos eyes light up at the name as she looked at Naruto, "Did you really!?"
