Standing with Naruto now, Orihime couldn't help but smile. She was no longer Orihime Inoue, but now she was Orihime Uzumaki. Two months have passed since they all went back and told everyone that they were okay. Tatsuki has spent more time with her in this time than her own. And as of last night, the unlikely bonding between her and Sai when he kissed her and she didn't slap him.
Looking around she sighed as she was content. All the couples that were scattered here and there. Gaara was there with Hinata and Hikaru, who was now babbling and trying to talk up a storm. Tenten was really showing that she was pregnant at five months. And had just found out the day before that they are having a girl.
Her eyes going to Ino who was showing as well at four months now. She had become her best friend here, and neither could wait to find out what she was having. Both have agreed that the other is the Godmother to their kids.
"You alright?"
Turning to look up at Naruto she smiled as she closed her eyes with a nod. "I am. I was just thinking about how great everything is today. The wedding went off perfect. And everyone has someone. Even Ichigo and Rukia are together. It's so nice."
Moving her around to stand in front of him with her back against his chest, Naruto smiled as he kissed the side of her head. "It is. Course for me the best part of this day is getting to introduce you as my wife now."
Giggling as she laid her hand on his arms around her, Orihime couldn't help but half closer her eyes as she dropped her head. There was one person missing that she wished could be there, even if it was in spirit form like those from the Soul Society. Her brother. 'Sora. I am glad that you approve of Naruto. I still wish you could be here to see this day.'
"He sees it I am sure Orihime. Just like my parents do." When her eyes turned to him, Naruto winked down at her. "I am sure of it."
"Thank you Naruto." Orihime then laid her head back on his shoulder as she sighed. "For everything."
"Orihime."
Turning to see Ichigo and everyone else walking toward her, Orihime smiled. "You are ready to leave already?"
Nodding Ichigo laughed. "Yeah. Yuzu and Karin have school, and we figured with as late in the day it is getting you would want to spend some time not entertaining."
Stepping away from his wife, Naruto went through the signs and made the portal. "There you go. See you later." He then watched as everyone walked past Orihime telling her goodbye then through the portal. Once they were through and it closed, Naruto reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her too him. "He does have a point though you know Orihime. There is one thing that we might get to do tonight."
Smiling as she wrapped her arms around his neck, Orihime laughed. "Really? And what is that Naruto?"
Dipping his head, Naruto seared her mouth with his own as he sighed. A moment later when he pulled his mouth from hers he smiled down at her. "Starting our own family."
A blush rising on her face, Orihime dropped her head as she let out a nervous laugh. "Naruto."
Smiling as he made her look up at him, Naruto winked. "It's alright. You just always have to trust me. I will make sure that everything is alright for you and you stay as happy as you are right now."
Nodding as her smile got even bigger. "I have trusted you Naruto, since the first time that I looked into your eyes."
Smiling as he kissed her again, Naruto sighed. "That is good. I never want you to lose that."
"Naruto."
Looking up to see Tsunade, Jiraiya and Kakashi standing there, Naruto blinked as he let his head fall to the side. "What is it?"
Smiling, Tsunade held out a small box. "A present for you. I think you will like this."
Letting Orihime step away from him, Naruto took the box that didn't feel like anything was in it. "What is it?"
"Just open it kid."
Glairng up at Jiraiya, Naruto sighed. "Fine." Opening the box he saw something white in it. As he lifted it out of the box his eyes went wide as he gasped. Flashes of when he met his father the first time. Then the second time when Sora saved his life for Orihime. This was the same cloak that his father wore when he was Hokage! But then he paled as he looked up at the three of them as they stood there smiling back at him. "Why are you giving me this?"
With a small laugh, Tsunade crossed her arms. "You recognize that?"
Looking back at the cloak, Naruto nodded. "I do. It was my dad's."
"And now it is yours Naruto." When his eyes jerked up to his, Kakashi nodded as he closed his eye. "All the Feudal Lords agree, and it came highly recommended not only by Lady Tsunade but Gaara, Mei, Onoki and Ei. The formal ceremony for it will be in a couple of months. Give you time to get used to being married before we throw that on you."
As everyone started to form a circle around him and Orihime, Naruto couldn't stop the tears that formed in his eyes as he just starred at them. "Wait you mean that in a month I am going to go through the ceremony that is going to make me the…..the…the Sixth Hokage?"
"That's right."
Orihime laughed as she hugged him from the side. "You said this was your dream Naruto! It's amazing!"
Looking back down at the cloak, Naruto smiled as a few tears streamed out of his eyes. "Thank you."
Reaching out and taking the cloak from him as he and Ino came to stand next to them, Shikamaru smiled. "So put it on and let's see what our next Hokage is going to look like in it."
Standing back by Ino, Orihime smiled as Naruto slipped it on. The pride in his eyes was like nothing she had never seen before. She love seeing it. And knew, that hopefully at least once she would see it one more time.
Turning to her, Naruto smiled. "So how do I look?"
Laughing as she remembered what he said to her when the others changed her clothes. "I love it. It really suits you Naruto. You have earned it."
Reaching out and pulling her into his arms, Naruto laughed as he lifted her in his arms. "You think so huh?" Kissing her as she laughed, Naruto turned and jumped away from everyone else. A few good strong leaps and he landed on the balcony of their bedroom. Walking in he sat her down as he sighed. "Orihime….." When she turned to look up at him, he pulled her flush against him as he bore down on her mouth. Letting out a sigh when she went limp in his arms as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ripping his mouth from his, Naruto smiled into her eyes. This day was made amazing when he was told he would be the next Hokage. But not only that, but he made the woman he loved his wife. "Orihime. Having you here, becoming my wife. I don't think anything could have made the day that I got to become Hokage any more amazing than that. I love you, so much more than I could say."
With a giggle as she smiled, Orihime reached a hand to his cheek as she sighed. "I love you more than I could say too Naruto. You are now and will forever be, my ninja warrior." Then she sighed when he lifted her in his arms again with a fiery kiss as he walked toward the bed. Her life, was nearly perfect. The only thing that could make it better would be when she has a child with her husband.
As he lowered his wife down to the bed under him, Naruto groaned as he kept the kiss going. He thought he knew love when he chased after Sakura for so long. Then he realized how much Hinata loved him growing up. But she moved away from him too. It was all for a reason. He was never meant to be with and love them. Orihime was his destiny.
