Here it is... the epilogue...
Epilogue: Here we are…
Here I am waiting for you. Waiting for the time we'll exchange words that'll mean that we're one now.
Here I am standing, wearing this tuxedo just for you, just for us.
Here I am nervous, excited, impatient and worried. Nervous and excited because I don't know how beautiful you'll look today. I can't wait anymore, after all these months we're now here and I can't seem to stay put and wait for you. Worried because I don't know what'll happen next. Of course I'm happy because today… our hearts and soul will be one, as husband and wife.
---
Here I am standing before this big mirror, wondering what you'll reaction will be when you see me wearing this gown that I picked just for you.
Here I am waiting for them to finish helping me fix myself before I face you.
Here I am feeing nervous, impatient, and very happy. I'm nervous because maybe that's what happens if you have a lot of adrenaline in your body. I feel excited too. I'm very happy because I know that you're the man I'll be facing today, in this wedding ceremony. I'm getting impatient because I want to see you now, say 'I do' now. I want to be your wife now. After these months of preparing and waiting here I am getting impatient because this is taking too long.
----
Here I am looking at my wristwatch, wondering how more minutes this waiting would take. I can't take it anymore, my soul, my heart and mind wants to say 'I do' now. And I want to take you home with me… as my wife…
"Naruto-sama…" Tsunade said to me. He then patted me on the back. "Anytime now she'll be coming out, wearing her wedding gown, just for you…" I smiled at Tsunade. "Good luck…" Tsunade whispered at my ear. I smiled again at her.
I scanned my eyes around the area. And they were there too. I left my spit and approached two people.
"Ah, the newly weds…" I said to them. They smiled at me too, that raven haired man and the pink haired woman.
"Wow, Naruto-sama, you look very handsome…" Sakura smiled at me.
"Well thanks. I appreciate that the both of you are able to come here…" I smiled at them too.
"Good luck…" Sasuke said to me.
"So how was the honeymoon?" I asked them.
"None of your business…" Sasuke glared at me. Sure I didn't want to ask something that private to them but don't blame me, I'm curious.
Sakura then lightly punched him in the arms. "It was fun, right Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said.
"Yeah, the hot spring was great…" Sasuke said. He then pulled out an envelope from his pocket. "Here…" he gave the envelope to me.
"What's this?" I asked him while I looked at the envelope.
"It's a discount if you'll stay at the hot spring we were talking about… all the details are inside…" Sakura said.
"Thanks guys…" I smiled at them. I then left them and I approached two more people.
"Ah, the newly engaged couple…" I smiled at the blonde girl and the lazy ninja.
"Naruto-sama, you look..." Ino then moved her eyes up and down while she looked at me. "…very handsome…" she smiled at me and she patted my shoulder. She winked her right eye at me. "Good luck, lover boy…" she said.
"Well, good luck to the both of you too. And Ino thanks for the Yamanaka flower shop's flower." I smiled at them.
"No biggie…" Ino said. I then left them and approached another couple.
"Hey TenTen, Neji, how are you guys?" I asked them. TenTen smiled at me while she had her arms around the blushing Neji's right arm.
"Shall we tell him, Neji-kun?" she asked Neji.
"Huh?" I was wondering what it was.
"S-sure…" Neji blushed more.
"Guess what Naruto-sama!" TenTen exclaimed.
I thought about things and I can't think of what TenTen was letting me guess. "I give up…" I said with a smiled.
"We're getting married too!!!" TenTen exclaimed and she tightened her grip around Neji's arm. Neji was like a tomato now.
"Well there sure are a lot of couples getting married this year…" Naruto said. "Thanks for coming!" I then left them. I approached Lee, Shino and Kiba.
"Hey are the singles doin'?" I asked with a big grin on my face.
"Singles minus one…" Shino said.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Lee has a girlfriend now…" Kiba said. Akamaru barked enthusiastically.
"Really, Lee-san?" I asked. "Who's' the girl?" I added to the question earlier.
"I'll let you meet her sometime…" Lee then made his signature Rock Lee thumbs up and he smiled at me too. I smiled at him.
"Well you look very handsome wearing those tuxedos..." I said to them. I kneeled down beside Akamaru. "And Akamaru looks fine with a bow tie in his neck..." I smiled at them.
"Well, thanks…" They said to me.
"Hey, Naruto-sama, don't throw the lucky charm I gave you…" Shino said.
"Why?" I asked
"Because if you throw it, it will mean bad luck…" Shino said.
"Ok…" I then left them and I approached our once Jounin senseis who are a little bit old now.
"Hey the groom is here!" Gai exclaimed.
"Well Naruto-sama, you look good." Kakashi said to me. He patted me in the head.
"I'm not a kid anymore…" I smiled at them. Even though Kakashi still had that face mask covering his mouth, I sensed that he was smiling at me.
"Good luck…" They said to me in unison.
"You better go back to your spot, Hinata is gonna come out any second now…" Kurenai said to me so I went back to my spot, again, waiting for her…
---
Here I am still standing and looking at the mirror, still feeling impatient.
"You're all set…" the Hyuuga helper said to me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. "You look pretty Hinata-sama…" the Hyuuga helper said. Hinata smiled at her.
"Daughter…" someone said. Hinata turned around and she saw her father standing with a warm smile in his face. "…Are you ready?" Hiashi asked.
Hinata smiled. She approached her father and she hugged him. "Otousan…" Hiashi patted Hinata in her shoulder.
"You look very beautiful. Naruto-sama would be glad…" Hiashi smiled. He pushed Hinata away gently for her to stop hugging him. "So are you ready?" Hiashi asked.
Hinata nodded. Hiashi offered her his arm.
"Naruto-sama is waiting…"
---
Oh how long is this waiting going to last?
Naruto had an impatient expression on his face. He looked up at the ceiling of the room.
"Well, she's here…" Naruto heard Tsunade said. He stopped looking at the ceiling and he looked at the door. It slowly opened… and there she was… with her arms around her father's arm.
You look so beautiful…
Naruto smiled as Hinata walked inside the room.
---
Hiashi stopped before he opened the door to the room where the ceremony will be held.
"Otousan, what's wrong?" Hinata asked.
Hiashi looked down at Hinata. He smiled warmly at her. "I just want to tell you that I'm really proud of you…" Hiashi then opened the door. Hinata smiled at her father warmly before they entered the room.
Naruto-kun…
Hinata was very happy. Naruto was smiling at her while she walked. Everyone smiled at her as she passed them. And then, here she is, standing before him. Hiashi removed Hinata's arms from his.
---
Hiashi then threw Naruto a glare that meant 'take care of my daughter or else.' Naruto just smiled at his soon-to-be-father-in-law. Hinata then wrapped her arms around Naruto's left arm. Before Naruto faced Tsunade he smiled Hiashi hoping that Hiashi will get what he was trying to say, that he WILL take care of Hinata.
This is it…
The both of them faced Tsunade.
"Ok, Tsunade…" Naruto didn't add obachan because he didn't want to make Tsunade angry. He wanted this to be perfect. "…It's time to begin…" Naruto threw Tsunade his signature foxy grin.
----
This is really it. I can see it in her eyes; in her smile… she is happy to be with me. She's really the one. She's the only woman that can make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. She makes me smile when no one can. She makes me comfortable when I'm down. She has been there for me all the time. Now it's my turn… it's my turn to show her how much I love her…
"I do…"
---
Oh Naruto-kun, I'm really happy today. I'm really happy that you are with me. In the past, this was just a dream for me, a dream that can't become reality. But now I can't believe that you are really with me. I tighten my grip around your arm, now I know. I know this isn't a dream anymore. I can feel this is real. Your smile makes me feel alive. Your gaze makes ma fell that I am not invisible. Your warmth makes me feel comfortable and contended. I fell secure around you. I hope you can see and feel it, how happy I am today and how much I love. I guess…I guess that I'll use the rest of my life with you by showing you how much I love you.
"I do…"
---
And here I am, with this ring in my hand. I gaze at your face. That smile, that smile makes go on. It's like a fuel and I'm the vehicle. You gave me the strength to continue. But I think my life won't be the same if I hadn't met you. I think it would still be the same hell it was when I was small. But you…you were like the sun that shines down on me everyday, making me happy and strong. As I slip this ring in your finger. We will be for eternity even after my death I hope my soul will rest by your side. This ring will be one of the symbols that we are husband and wife… WE WILL BE FOREVER.
---
Here I am… standing beside you and now I am facing you, with this big ring in my hand. The ring intended for you. For the one I'll share the rest of my life with, the man that will be by my side, the man that's going to be father of my children, the man who will be one with me. I am yours and you are mine, Naruto-kun. I had always been the one unnoticed years ago. And I can't imagine how would my life be if I didn't meet the pillar of my strength and inspiration, I can't imagine how it could have been without you. Maybe I will be still as shy as I was. Maybe I won't be like this. You were like a lamp that helps me make my way through a dark and thick forest. You were the light that has guided me everyday. Take this ring as a sign of my love and this sacrament that'll make two souls one. With this ring, I will show you how much I love you FOREVER…
---
"And now, I pronounce you husband and bride…" Tsunade said. Sundae grinned at us. "You may kiss the bride, Naruto-sama…"
Naruto kissed Hinata for a short while but passionately. He hugged her.
"Don't worry… I'll take care of you…" He whispered at her ear.
"Who said I was worrying?" Hinata asked.
"No one said it." Naruto broke off the hug and he gazed at her pearly eyes. He smiled at her and he held out his hand.
Take my hand…
We will walk down this path…
…TOGETHER…

Well that's another part finished...
THE END IS ONLY THE BEGINNING...
