(Kakashi Ending)
Nejis POV:
"Today is a great day, why are you so gloomy?" Tenten asked me as we were eating breakfast. Today is in fact a great day, Hinata and Kakashi were to be married but I couldn't be happy when I was in pain.
"My chest has been hurting since I woke up, I'm trying to shake it but it won't go away" I mumbled to her and placed my hand over my heart.
"Do you think your heart is having issues?" she asked me and placed her hand on top of mine. I looked at her and I just shrugged. I didn't want to think about it, because if Tsunade, Shizune or Sakura told me it was something bad, I would lose everything I had worked for. Every single day since the day I woke up would be for nothing.
"We need to go get it checked then, yeah?" she asked me and I shook my head. But, before I could answer the front door to my home opened and the face of Hanabi took view of the kitchen doorway.
"Father would like you two to welcome the Kazekage at the gates and bring him to the compound" she said and I nodded my head.
"He doesn't want Kakashi and Sasuke bothered with anything today," she said again and I removed myself from the table. My vision went black for a second and I had to catch myself on the table.
"Nii-san, what's wrong?" Hanabi asked and I felt her hands on my shoulders. I glanced at Tenten to not say anything and then I looked at my cousin again.
"I'm just really tired this morning" I told her and she glared at me. She knew I was lying but didn't press the matter farther.
I left the two of them behind and headed up the stairs to get dressed in something formal. I think hearing my uncle bitch at me about appearances would be worse than whatever is happening to me right now.
I put my black kimono on and a white on top for now, just to be proper. I'm sure I would have to change later into something more festive for tonight.
"Do you want me to fix your hair?" Tenten asked from the doorway, I glanced over and she was already dressed and ready to go.
"You look beautiful" I told her and she smiled. She removed herself from the wall and started touching my hair.
"I can do it myself" I said to her as she let it go from the hair holder.
"Yeah, I know" she said quietly and continued brushing it out. I would be lying if I said it didn't feel good.
I bent my neck back a little so I could look at her and I pulled her into a kiss.
"Mm" she said and then rested her forehead on mine and we stayed there for a minute just taking each other in.
"Do you think after the wedding, we can add to your clan?" she whispered to me and my eyes shot open. I grabbed my heart from pain. It must of started beating fast from her question.
"Are you okay?" she asked, kneeling next to me and I started laughing a bit.
I opened my eyes again, putting our heads together once more.
"I think that's a great idea," I said, giving her another kiss. She put her arms around me to hug me and I thought about it for a second. I think starting a family with her would be a great idea. I just need to ask her to marry me first. Then I wondered if my heart would make it through the day from all the emotions. Clearly that's why I had a sharp pain when she asked, it skipped a beat.
Kakashis POV:
I peeked out my bedroom window where Hinata and I would soon be married. Everything was being set up, everything was white, silver and black. I laughed a bit to see it, the black and white were clearly her families and they put silver because it's my favorite. But, I did need to do a few things before I got dressed.
I threw my Hokage cloak on and headed towards the front door. The house was a little noisy for only being noon time, which meant I had exactly an hour to do what I needed. Two more hours and I would be watching Hinata walk down the aisle.
"Hey, where are you going?" I heard Sakura ask from behind me and I turned to look at her.
"Something important"" I said quickly and Sasuke looked at me, he knew what I wanted to do.
"He'll be back soon love" Sasuke told him and she turned back towards my children. They were trying to spend as much time with them before their own came. They needed practice and they also loved them, Konan even bombarded the children.
I turned my back on them all and used the hand signs to get to the cemetery.
My first stop was Obito and Rin and I sat in front of them. Before I even spoke, I took the small momentum of Obito's ashes from my pocket and placed it on the grave marker in front of me. There it was, he was finally in his resting place.
"I hope that's acceptable my friend" I said quietly and glanced between the two graves.
"I think it's fine," a woman said, followed by a small giggle. My entire body froze and I could feel the cold sweat on my back. I haven't heard that laugh in years, this isn't real.
"We saved up the last of our energy and you won't even look at us?" the man said and my heart started pounding but I turned.
Then there it was, Obito and Rin were sitting right behind me.
"How is this happening?" I muttered and reached out to touch Rin's shoulder. My hand went right through her.
"We saved the last of our energy we had remaining on earth for an important day for you. I know it's confusing" Obito said and I smiled slightly.
"Rin, I'm so sorry for what happened that day," I told her and she shook her head.
"Its okay, I jumped in front of you. I was trying to prevent a war that happened anyway" she said, giving Obito a look and I laughed a bit. Even if in the afterlife he was being nagged at.
"I thought for a minute there that you weren't going to get Hinata" Obito said, changing the subject. I'm sure he didn't want to talk about the war either. No one did, a wound that would stay buried and everyone would heal at their own rate.
"She means everything to me" I told them.
"I'm happy you finally came to your senses and trusted and loved someone" Rin told me, placing her ghost hand on my knee. All I felt was an ice cold feeling but I knew it was a good one.
"She's worth it" I informed them and they nodded their heads.
Then for the next half hour, we talked about everything we could. It opened my eyes and mind to realize I needed it. The empty feeling I had always felt was finally nearly full. I just wish they were physically here.
"You better tell your children about us" Obito said and I laughed a little.
"Of course, I will let them know of two of the greatest people the world ever had" I told him and then Rin flickered.
"Our time is coming to an end," she informed me and I could feel some tears welling up in my eyes. I knew they couldn't stay forever and I wasn't ready to say goodbye again.
"You can't leave" I choked out to them, trying to grab them but I couldn't.
"We'll be waiting for you" Rin said and I could see a tear coming down her face. I tried to grab their wrists once more but vanished and I fell forward. I punched the ground and all the tears I was holding back came out.
"One day.." I whispered and tried to collect myself. I still needed to see one more person.
I got off the ground and walked to the part of the cemetery that was exclusively for the Uchiha clan. I could still feel the letter in my pocket, the letter from Itachi. I needed to get all of this out today.
I found his grave and took a seat like I just had in front of my two other friends and opened the letter.
I know we didn't leave off on good grounds when I left but I know we're both okay now. I also know there isn't room in the village for two people like us so one had to go. I know you'll take care of everyone and I'm sorry you got left with the grief I placed inside everyone. Thank you for everything you've done since I returned. I wouldn't of got to stay if it weren't for you and I could never repay you for that. Your words and Hinata's kidnapping gave me a second chance at life. I wish you and your family the best. I will be your children's guardian from above and harm will never come to them.
Itachi
I folded the letter back up and stared at his grave marker.
"Thank you… my friend" I said quietly and closed my eyes for a minute. There it was, every single person I've lost had filled the emptiness inside. Last words meant so much when you couldn't talk with them anymore. Hearing Rin telling me she had accepted what happened helped. Knowing Obito saw the light and continued seeing it after death, helped. Knowing Itachi would watch over my kids and we're okay, helped.
I finally opened my eyes and looked at the beautiful sky above, taking a deep breath.
"I have to go marry her now, be peacefully, Itachi" I said to the grave marker once more before I started to leave the cemetery.
The walk home was short and sweet but strangely enough, I didn't see anyone I knew. Not that it was a bad thing since everyone was busy putting today together, making sure it went smoothly. It's not everyday the Hokage gets married.
..
"It's almost time, all the guests have arrived" Sasuke said, coming into my room. I was fully dressed and ready to go, but I continued to look out the window. I knew all the guests were here, I watched them all walk in, people from all over were here. It was weird seeing the Hyugas here though, it was a rare occasion that they all left the compound.
"I guess we should go outside and wait then, huh?" I said, turning to see Sasuke. He was fully dressed up and I could see the small Uchiha insignia on the left breast pocket. He was my best man so I thought it was okay.
We got outside and took our place at the altar, only ten more minutes until Hinata walked down the isle and I was nervous.
"I've never seen you so nervous before" Sakura said from the front row on my side of people.
"No worries my friend, today is also your day!" Guy said loudly from right next to her. I could feel my cheeks getting red and they laughed at me a bit.
I looked around the crowd now, now I could really see everyone. Everyone on my side was practically from the village and Hinatas side had her family and the other important political figures.
Hinatas POV:
We were right at the top of the district, we were going to walk down any minute now. My nerves were all over the place and the only small distraction I was getting was the hard work they put into decorating everything.
"Its okay to be nervous, I remember the day I married your mother" my father said to me and I looked at him. I gave him a small smile.
"I think it's time" I said and we stood side by side with our arms linked.
We entered the gates and made our way down the path and the music didn't start until we rounded the corner. Then I heard shifting and everyone was looking at us. I tried my best to put on my Hyuga mask with no emotion but it wasn't working. I couldn't stop smiling.
We got to the back row of chairs and I could finally see Kakashi and that's where I kept my eyes, it was helping so much.
My father and I stopped at the alte, he gave me a small kiss on the cheek and took his seat. Then I took my place standing across from Kakashi, in front of everyone.
The start of the ceremony was sweet and to the point, then came the part I was waiting for.
"Now I know you both wrote some vows, who wants to go first?" The man said, looking between us.
"I will" Kakashi said and Sasuke handed him a piece of paper. Then I realized it, that was the paper he was working on a week ago when we told them about Itachi's son.
Kakashi coughed a little bit and looked between the paper and I.
"I knew the moment I saw you, we were destined for something. Little did I know it would be you becoming my wife and more" he spoke, looking at me on the last part. I knew he meant mother and so did a few others.
"Even of the days we were lost, we still found our way back to each other. I buried my hope a few times but never abandoned it. You mean everything to me and I couldn't see myself with another. You're a loving, kind, gentle, stubborn and fearsome. Only you could pull off that combination" he continued to say and I couldn't stop smiling. Nor could I help the small happy tear that came down my cheek.
"You're everything I've ever wanted and more. I vow to continue loving you, protecting you and being there for you. I will always push you, cheer for you and guide you. You have brought my life back together from a time I couldn't see forward. Our future is bright and I can't wait to start living it with you by my side. Until death due us part, my love" he finally finished and I was in aw, I just wanted to hug him but I had to wait.
"Hinata, it's your turn," the man said and I nodded my head. I turned towards my sister, she was teary eyed as well but handed me my paper.
"Well, I don't know If I'm going to top that" I said quietly and he laughed with me.
"Doesn't matter" he whispered back and I opened my paper.
"Kakashi, you helped put me back together piece by piece after my heart was broken. In that time, we clashed, argued and fought more than friends ever should. You made me realize there's more to life and I'm lucky I listened. I'm glad I listened or I wouldn't be standing exactly where I wanted to be" I started and took a breath. My nerves were running wild again, but in a good way.
"You guided me toward the right path and kept me walking on it. You are my best friend and have always had my back. I vow to continue being your happiness, your wife, your guiding hand and your light. You've been my first everything and I will be your last everything. Even if in the afterlife, until death due us part" I said, finishing mine up. It wasn't anything compared to his but it hit a spot in him, I saw it.
"Well, not that vows are done. There's only one more step. We need the rings" the man said and Neji brought them forward, placing each ring in the correct hand.
"Do you, Kakashi, take Hinata as your wife from now until forever?" he asked.
"Yes, I do" he said, sliding the ring up my ring finger. He went back to holding my hands afterwards.
"Do you, Hinata, take Kakashi as your husband from now until forever?" he asked me.
"Yes, I do," I said, nodding my head. I slid his ring on his finger the best I could without shaking and we continued to hold hands.
"Well then, I now pronounce you two married. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Hatake. You may kiss your bride" he said, all of our friends and family around us started clapping and Kakashi grabbed my face to pull my in. Our lips crashed together and I put my arms around him to tighten our moment.
"I love you" I whispered into his lips and we broke apart.
"I love you too" he said and the music started. Then before I could register what was happening he lifted me and we started walking away from the alter.
"You always find a way to make me blush" I said to him as we continued walking. I could hear movement behind us but we were to go to our home to change into our celebration clothes.
"Just wait until later," he said, giving my a kiss on the forehead.
We got to the porch of our home but continued to carry me inside and up the stairs. We got to our bedroom and he placed me down on the bed, hovering over me.
"Welcome home, Mrs. Hatake" he said, grinning. He gave me a kiss and I brought him in closer.
"We can't take forever, we need to go back outside," I told him as he continued placing kisses all over my face and neck.
"I know, but it's tempting" he said, rolling over to lay on his back on the bed.
"It is, but we have almost an entire week alone starting tomorrow" I said, reminding him and he moved off the bed.
"Well, I suppose we should go celebrate some more" he said and I nodded my head.
"I didn't get a chance to tell you that you look beautiful today and what happened earlier" he spoke, while taking his clothes off.
"Thank you and what happened?" I asked while removing clothes also. My father had this custom made for today. It was mostly white with black and silver accents. It went along nicely with the hairpiece I had in. I didn't up wearing Itachi's mothers piece like I did during the engagement party, but I liked this one just as much.
"I saw Rin and Obito" he whispered and I almost didn't hear him. I looked over and he was just looking at me.
"That's amazing, what happened?" I asked, wanting to know more. I didn't even question it since I also had a similar experience.
"We just kept talking, we're all at peace now. It hurt to see them go though" he confessed and I took a few steps towards him. I placed my hands on his shoulders and he just hugged me.
"They said they'll be waiting for me.." he said again and I knew he was getting emotional once more.
"They're always with you" I told him and then lifted his face to look at me.
"Everyone we've ever lost is with us, they're protecting us. Always remember that" I said, giving him a soft kiss. He smiled and hugged me once more.
"You're right," he told me and we finished getting dressed. Sakura thought it would look really cute if we wore matching colors and neither of us wanted to tell her no. So, here we were, wearing matching golden kimonos with a black one over it. I had to admit we looked really nice but it felt silly.
"Well, let's go have the best night ever," he told me, opening the front door for me. I nodded my head and we linked arms to walk back to the back of the district for the celebration.
"So much has happened in this area," I said to him as we walked. From heartbreak, to pregnancy, to engagements and birthday parties. Now finally, our wedding.
"Indeed it has, but today is just another happy day to be accounted for" he told me and held my hand.
We rounded the corner and I could finally see and hear the celebration taking place, people were talking and drinking.
"Well, here we go" I said my nerves came back. It made me laugh a little bit.
"What's so funny?" he asked me, smirking towards me.
"Just my nerves, nothing really" I said and we marched forward.
Then there it was, everyone finally noticed us and started clapping again and a few people walked forward. Kakashi's students walked forward first and just bombarded him with a hug.
"Congratulations!" they all cheered and I laughed at him a bit. I'd never seen any of them hug before.
"Thanks guys" he said and they let go and then before I turned I felt a bunch of arms around myself. I looked to see my own team all squeezing me.
"Thanks guys" I said, giggling a bit and letting go. Kiba handed Kakashi and I our first drinks of the night and I bowed a bit.
"How does it feel to be married dear?" Kurenai asked me.
"I feel wonderful" I said, smirking towards Kakashi.
"Your vows were lovely, I got a little teary eyed" she told me and I nodded my head.
"I did too.. Him and I have been on a long journey" I said and we really have. It's been around six years since we dating that first time, it's been a roller coaster.
"May I have everyone gather around so our couple can share their first dance?" the woman said who was in charge of the music. I finished my drink quickly and gave it back to Kiba.
"You didn't have to drink it so fast," he said mocking me.
"Well, guess the party is starting" I said and we all bowed slightly to each other. Kakashi found me and took my hand to the middle of the floor and the music started.
I placed my arms around his neck and we started swaying to the music.
"Our adventure has officially started" I told him and just kept our eyes on each other.
"It sure has and I'm glad you're mine. I meant it before when I said I knew were destined for something together. I knew from the day we kissed on the stairs in your old house" he told me and he put his forehead on mine.
"I'm sorry I've been horrible to you a few times" I admitted.
"Don't worry about it, we both hurt each other enough but it worked out in the end" he said to me and we continued dancing slowly. It felt like magic, like nothing could break us apart and I was glad the song still had a little bit to go.
Then he moved his head from mine and we really started dancing, the song had picked up. He twirled me a bit and I started laughing. We kept moving and finally the song ended but the music continued.
"You know how to dance?" I heard Hanabi ask from the side of us and he nodded his head.
"Just something I learned in all my years" he joked and she rolled her eyes.
"Well, I brought this for you guys," she said, handing us two more glasses. I took mine, taking a sip. I knew before the night was over, I was going to be intoxicated.
"Thank you" I told her and then I noticed my father, Neji, and Tenten also coming over to us.
"Congratulations Hinata" Neji was the first to speak and I noticed he seemed off.
"Thank you, come dance with me," I said, grabbing his hand, pulling him away before anyone else could talk to us. A few other people were dancing and talking so at least we wouldn't be the only ones.
"Are you okay?" I asked him as we started dancing together.
"Completely" he said, giving me a fake smile and I glared at him. Neither of us could ever lie to each other so I wasn't sure why he was trying. I bowed my head forward a bit to cover my eyes and activated my byakugan. I looked at his heart and I could see his chakra having a hard time moving like it had when this all first happened.
"Your heart is becoming clogged with chakra, this is dangerous" I whispered harshly at him. I reverted my eyes back to normal and looked at him. No wonder he looked pale and seemed sluggish.
"I didn't want to ruin today by saying anything. My chest has hurt ever since I woke up" he explained to me and put his head on my shoulder.
"Well, when we're done dancing. You're getting looked at, your health is important too" I told him and we continued swaying. I sighed a bit, he was in pain and it made me worried.
The song ended and I grabbed his hand one more time in mine and we walked around the mass of people. Everyone was preoccupied and I was glad Tsunade was easy to find.
"Happy wedding day" she said to me with a smile.
"Yes, happy wedding day but I need a favor" I said to her and she nodded her head.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"His heart problem has returned and I would like for you to fix it" I said to her and she glared at Neji.
"Is it bad?" she asked me, knowing I already looked at it.
"Like it did the first time we noticed it" I informed her and she nodded her head again. We all went off to the side so we weren't crowded.
"It might hurt again" she told Neji and he remained quiet. Her hands started to glow and she went forth with the same thing she did last time. I watched his face twisted with some pain.
"This isn't good, I'm not sure I can undo it all this time" she told us and his eyes opened.
"Is it safe for now?" I asked her.
"Yes, but we're going to need to really sit down tomorrow and figure some things out" she said sternly as the glow of her hands faded.
"Please don't tell Kakashi yet" he begged me, grabbing my arm.
"I won't say anything, I know this is a matter of your career right now" I reassured him, pulling him into a hug.
"I didn't mean to put a damper on today" he said to me.
"It's really okay, you're family" I said and he let go of me. The three of us looked at each other once more and I mouthed the words thank you to Tsunade before we parted with her.
An hour had passed and everyone was having a great time. Laughing, drinking and dancing really made everyone comfortable. Kakashi and I were sitting at our table just looking around.
"If I could have the bride and her father come to the floor please" the woman spoke into the microphone once more and I moved my seat backwards. I walked to the floor to meet my father and he took my hand as the music started.
"You're officially not a Hyuga anymore, you must be happy" he said jokingly and I laughed a little bit.
"I'll always be a Hyuga by genetics. Our eyes are unmistakble" I retorted to him and he actually laughed a bit.
"You're not wrong" he said and made a circle with each other.
"I'm happy for you, I'm glad we've reconnected" he told me and I could feel the happy tears come to surface. It would never get old to me hearing such things from him. The real him, the one I knew before my mother passed away.
We remained silent for the most part but I knew it was peaceful, as did he.
"I think you should try and dance with your grandfather tonight. I know it would mean a lot to him, even if he doesn't show it" my father said to me as the song started fading out.
"I will, I promise," I told him and we bowed to each other at the end of the dance. It was the last sign in my marriage that he had fully given me to Kakashi. A Hyuga tradition that only my clan knew of. A tradition that probably looked weird to an outsider but it was okay.
My father walked away from me and I turned to go move back towards Kakashi but then a song came on that I really loved and I wanted to continue dancing. I looked around quickly and grabbed the first two people I saw; Sasuke and Neji. They looked mortified but finally got the hint that they weren't escaping this.
"Really?" Sasuke asked and I smiled towards him. Then I realized, all the drinks I've had finally kicked in.
"Absolutely!" I said cheerfully and then I noticed everyone else our age was giggling too.
"C'mon guys!" I yelled to them and nobody wanted to move. I started dancing towards them, nudging them towards the small circle of people I wanted to dance with me. Then I looked around and everyone I graduated with were dancing with me. It felt like we were all smaller, just becoming genin.
"I think the drinks finally got to her guys" Sakura said, giggling as we continued to move.
"I just love all you guys!" I told them all smiling while I looked. If you asked me years ago about right now, I would have laughed in your face. But now, it was something to cherish. I had Ino, Sakura, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Naruto, Kiba, Shino, Sasuke, Choji, Shikamaru and Sai in a circle with me, dancing.
"Do you think I could get Gaara, Temari and Kankuro in on this too?" I asked around the circle of us. I really wanted everyone in this circle with us. Those three fit in here too and I knew they were close with us.
"You could try" Tenten said cheerfully.
"I can get them" Shikamaru said and then I remembered him and Temari were dating, that would much easier. Shikamaru left the circle and I knew he was thankful for a second.
"This is just like old times, huh?" Tenten said again as we continued moving to the music. I knew I wasn't going to stop dancing, nor grabbing people to dance with. Drinking made me energetic and I never knew why.
"It sure does, it's nice" Sakura said and then the circle got bigger.
"Congratulations" Gaara said and I bowed to him.
"Thank you," but my body wouldn't stop and we all just started talking about the old times, laughing too. We had come a long way since we were all genin, bonds strengthened, promotions, relationships and some children. What a different almost a decade could make.
"May I steal my wife for a dance?" I heard from behind me and Kakashi was standing there, smiling towards all of us. He handed me a drink in the process too.
"Or you could come join us," I said, grinning and moved over a bit. Placing him in the circle and then I noticed the circle kind of broke and everyone here had started dancing as well. Almost everyone who attended the wedding was on the floor.
"I didn't want to intrude" he said a little awkwardly but didn't protest with me.
"You're not intruding, you know all of us. You've been a guiding hand to some of them" I reminded him and he nodded in agreement.
"Not everyone" Ino interjected.
"I'm not gonna lie, you always scared me a little bit" she admitted and we all laughed at her and she nervously laughed too.
"I scared you? I'm not scary at all" Kakashi replied, sounding shocked and took a sip of his drink. We all gave him a look of doubt.
"To be fair, you were known to be the most brutal killer when we were all younger" Sasuke said and for him to say something like that, we laughed a bit more.
"Fine, you win" Kakashi said, sounding defeated.
"It's okay, we still love you" I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek and he smiled.
The night continued on and the sun was just about to come down and the music slowed down a bit for people to slow dance for a bit. Which of course, I found my husband and brought him to the floor.
"Are you enjoying your night?" I asked him, noticing his cheeks were dusted pink. That meant he was almost drunk now.
"Yes, today was everything I had hoped for and more," he said and we kissed. Then the sound of someone clearing their throat broke us apart. Sasuke and Sakura were standing next to us, both had a grin on.
"I think the drinking has gotten to me but I wanted to tell you guys something" he said and put his hand in his pocket.
"Tell us what?" I asked a little slurred. I watched him take the paper out of his pocket and hold it in his hand.
"Is this a magic trick?" I asked, I was entranced because I wasn't sure which direction this was going in. He lit the paper on fire and it simmered down to what looked like sparkles. He blew the glitter at Kakashi and I and I was confused.
"Baby Uchiha is a girl" Sasuke said and I started squealing in excitement. I instantly leaped onto Sasuke, giving him a really tight hug. Followed by another hug for Sakura.
"I'm so happy, thank you for telling us!" I said in excitement.
"It also means you'll stop nagging me" he said laughing.
"I'm going to by her so much stuff! We have two of each now guys!" I said to them and Sakura nodded her head to me, still smiling.
"This is great, they're all going to be best friends," I said, putting my arms back around Kakashi.
"Happy wedding day guys" Sakura said and they walked away from us as we continued dancing.
"Today just keeps getting better," I said to him, giving him another kiss.
"I'm so happy you finally know now" Kakashi said and I took a step back to look at him.
"You knew?!" I asked in disbelief.
"For about two weeks now" he said, scratching the back of his head.
"You suck!" I said, poking him in the chest. I was actually kind of surprised that he kept it to himself.
"I almost slipped a few times, I admit" he told me, spinning me a bit.
"Well, it's okay. Now I know" I said with a smile. We continued dancing and then I remembered I promised to dance with my grandfather.
"I have to dance with someone before the night if over" I informed Kakashi and he tilted his head a bit, not sure who else I hadn't danced with but didn't question me. I did however back away from him so I could go find him before the next song started.
I looked all around and was having trouble looking, my vision was doubled a little bit. But, at last I saw him. Sitting with my father at their table and I headed straight towards him.
"Grandfather?" I asked to get his attention and he looked toward me.
"Would you dance with me for the next song?" I asked and I saw the smallest flicker of happiness come in his eyes and he nodded his head. I had to thank him for today, he planned everything out and made sure everything was covered.
He moved from around the table and onto the floor, holding his hand out for me, which I took happily. Maybe it wasn't going to be so bad afterall.
Kakashi's POV:
Hinata had gone off to dance with her grandfather so I took the time to go sit at the table with her father and sister.
"Hey guys" I said with a small smile as I pulled the chair out.
"You haven't danced with me yet!" Hanabi said loudly and I chuckled and got right back out of my chair. I walked over to her seat and bowed a bit and extended my hand.
"How could I forget to have the Hyuga clan head grace me with a dance" I said to her and she laughed a little taking my hand. We walked onto the floor and I wanted to make sure she had a great dance. Who knows if she would ever be able to find a suitor to her fathers liking.
"How are the children?" she asked discreetly as I spun her in a circle.
"They're great and when we get back, the entire village will now about them" I said with a small smile. They were finally safe from the caged bird seal. Although, after seeing tonight, it felt like we were stabbing her grandfather in the back but we couldn't change the circumstances now.
After my dance with Hanabi it was time for the cake cutting, Hinata and I were in the corner holding the cutting knife. It glided through the cake carefully and we were both holding a piece to feed to each other.
Then I saw a hint of mischief in her eyes, oh no, she wasn't going to do it, was she?
"Ready?" she asked with a small smile and I nodded my head carefully. She brought the cake towards my face and then smashed it on my face which cause some people to laugh, including myself.
"That's payback for the paint a year ago" she said between giggles. Then I remembered what she was talking about so I took my piece and wiped it on her face too.
"Oh no!" she squealed but embraced it anyways. Then we had cake on our faces and I gave her a small kiss.
"Let's hit my sister with some" she said and took another small piece of cake in her hands. Hanabi was standing close to us and Hinata managed to get her anyway, in between wobbling a bit from drinking.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Hanabi yelled at her but they both started laughing with each other.
"What kind of cake ceremony would it be if we didn't bring someone into it?" Hinata asked and passed her a napkin. Then someone came over and started cutting the cake officially and passed it around to everyone. Hinata and I sat at our table with cake still on our faces as we tried to get it off.
"I can help with that one" I pointed to her cheek and licked it off.
"We're in the middle of everyone, don't start that" she hissed at me, swatting my hand away.
"Oh, c'mon, don't be like that," I said, brushing her comment off as I grabbed a real napkin and helped her that way. She was finally clean and leaned into me.
"Later" she whispered to me and gave me a light kiss. I can't wait, love.
The night was nearly ended and everyone just about left, except for the small group of us at the last table. The music was playing softly in the background and we were finishing our last drinks.
"Are the babies sleeping?" Sakura asked, looking at Hinata and I.
"More than likely, it's pretty late" she answered for us.
"Aww okay, there's always another day" Sakura whined a bit but took the answer anyways.
"I think it's time to retire for the night, I've had a wonderful day!" Hinata said to the group of us and tried to stand but she stumbled. She caught herself on the table and I got up slowly so I could help her.
"Yes, I have too. We'll see you all in about week" I said to everyone and put my arm around her waist. I myself needed some support to walk, we were both drunk at this point.
"Have a great time guys!" Tenten said cheerfully to us and we started to move away from the table.
"Make sure Sasuke doesn't burn the village down!" I said loudly to them as we stumbled away.
"Ha! Very funny!" Sasuke yelled back and Hinata and I laughed within each other.
Getting to the house, wasn't a problem. Nor getting inside was. However the stairs and us had a problem but we made it and we finally crashed on the bed. It's a good thing our children were heavy sleepers or we probably would have woken them up.
"This bed feels like a cloud" Hinata said, rolling over to face me. She moved herself towards my chest and rested her head on me. I wrapped my around her and just held her.
"It sure does" I said and I could feel myself getting sleepy from the long day we just had.
"I love you" she said, shifting her head to look at me. I squeezed her a little more and gave her a kiss.
"I love you too" I said when I moved myself from her face.
"I need to take these clothes off and shower" she said, moving herself from me. I guess she was right and I moved myself too.
"Let me help" I whispered in her ear from behind her. My hands dropped the first kimino to the floor, the silk glided off the other one. I started giving her neck kisses as my hands untied the last kimino. She moved her head toward mine so she could kiss me instead and she turned while doing so.
Her hands were also removing my clothes as we walked back towards the bathroom. We made it in there when we were stopped by the small wall in front of the shower. I reached backwards a bit during kisses to turn the water on. I didn't even care if the light was on at this point.
"We're really going to commemorate our marriage in the shower?" she asked as her hands untied my last kimono and it draped open.
"Would you like to do this somewhere else?" I asked her, drawing small circles on her shoulder.
"No" she said and pulled me into her hungrily and then opened the shower door for us and she lead me inside.
I hope you all liked that! Sorry for the wait, any comments are appreciated and there are only two chapters left to the Kakashi ending, I have some things in store and I hope I didn't forget anything in this chapter.
