Tsubame: I just want to make it clear to everyone again that this is not my story… it belongs to ShadowRose. Naruto doesn't belong to us either… but we love that dobe!
"Something There"
By ShadowRose
Chapter 2:
She had never felt more nervous in her entire life. Today was the long awaited day when she would finally bear the name Uchiha Sakura. Three months ago when they both decided to formally announce that they were engaged, they half expected their friends to throw a riot, mainly because of the fact that Sasuke had betrayed Konoha and had been the cause of their precious cherry blossom's heartaches. Well….. something like that happened although it wasn't entirely disastrous…….
Flashback:
The rookie nine (Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Chouj and Shikamaru) and team 10 (Neji, Tenten and Lee) were all hanging out at the Icharuka Ramen after another hard day's training…… nothing much was happening except the usual…..
"Chouji, don't you ever stop eating? You're roughly the size of a
Baby sperm whale already!" Ino chided at her over weight teammate.
"Mvjsdsvnsjnnngcsfusfj!" Chouji replied through a mouthful.
"How troublesome……" Shikarmaru said in his usual bored face though
His arm was comfortably hung around Ino's slender shoulders.
Naruto was chattering happily away with his new found love, Hinata. It actually took the fox kid 3 long years just to realize that it was her he really loved and not Sakura. Lee was passionately yelling about the springtime of youth to an aggravated Neji and Tenten. Kiba and Akamaru were doing their usual thing, talking to each other while Shino just minded his own business.
Naruto then noticed that Sakura was somehow a bit fidgety and Sasuke….. Well he was actually talking, more like whispering something, to Sakura…..
"Sasuke-teme! What are you telling Sakura-chan!"
"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke retorted but instead of his usual
You're-so-annoying look he looked kind of……
"Oi, Sasuke-teme! You're blushing!" Naruto gleefully exclaimed.
"I said shut up!" Sasuke said blushing even more as all eyes turned to
Him and Sakura.
"What's going on forehead girl? Are you and Sasuke going out?"
Ino teased causing Sakura to blush the same shade as Sasuke.
"Is it true Sakura-chan?" Hinata timidly asked, her silver eyes
Shimmered with interest.
"A-ano….." Sakura fidgeted with her fingers much like what Hinata
Used to when she and Naruto still weren't an item.
"Actually were engaged." Sasuke blurted out while looking away.
"NANI!" Naruto yelled, choking on his ramen so hard Hinata had to slap him ferociously on the back so he could breathe normally again. Lee was crying a river of tears behind a fake autumn scene screaming, "NOOOO! MY BEAUTIFUL CHERRY BLOSSOM HAS BEEN CLAIMED!" and he ran away yelling, "GAI-SENSEI!". Ino was squealing, no pun intended, like a pig while shaking Sakura so roughly on the shoulders saying, "Ohmygoshforeheadgirlyou'regeetingmarried!" over and over again until Shikamaru and Sasuke had to separate them for fear that Ino might put the bride-to-be in a coma before the wedding day. Kiba was congratulating a rather flushed Sasuke (Sasuke was debating with himself whether to wring Ino's neck for what she did to Sakura). Shino was still minding his own business while Tenten was helping Shikamaru calm Ino down (Ino was still excited about the news that she hadn't noticed that she had knocked Sakura out cold). Neji just crossed his arms and stared at the young Uchiha male. Naruto could finally breathe again and was yelling his head off at Sasuke. Hinata had turned her attention to the unconscious Sakura and was attempting to wake her up.
All the yelling and shouting caused such a raucous that Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma and Gai (who was brought there by a still hysterical Lee) had come to see what was going on. When the four Jounins learned the cause of the mess…… "Congratulations, Sasuke. If you need any help on the--" Kakashi started to say with a perverted expression on his face but was cut off by Naruto yelling,
"You pervert! You're actually okay with this!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"Put a sock in it!" Neji grunted.
End of Flashback:
Sakura giggled at the memory. She was seated in front of a vanity desk littered with beauty products that Ino, Hinata and Tenten (yes Tenten, she's a girl too you know) had brought with them. The three girls were arguing on how much and what type of make-up Sakura should wear. Sakura giggled to herself again and finally spoke up…..
"Guys, we only have 1 more hour until the wedding. Sasuke-kun would
Be furious and sick with worry if I'll be late." She inwardly smirked at
How possessively romantic her fiancé could be.
"Oh my gosh! We wasted an hour arguing! Ladies let's get to work!"
Ino exclaimed.
"Yosh!" Tenten and Hinata replied.
Sasuke's feet were literally digging a trench on the church entrance as he nervously paced back and forth, waiting for his cherry blossom to arrive…… She was exactly 1 minute 35 seconds late…… Sakura was never late for anything and he meant anything…..
"Where is she? Did something happen? Should I go get her?"
Sasuke thought furiously to himself. He was about to go and get her when a hand clamped tightly on his shoulder. He turned to give a death glare to whoever was holding him back, only to see that it was Naruto wearing one of his famous foxy grins…..
"Daijobu Sasuke-teme! Sakura-chan's just a little late, maybe she's
Just nervous about spending the rest of her life with you. I mean,
Who wouldn't?" Naruto chuckled. Sasuke twitched at his last statement.
"Baka! You're not helping." Kiba exclaimed.
"Nani? Did I say something wrong?" Naruto blinked, looking from Kiba
To Sasuke.
"How troublesome…." Shikamaru said.
"Hinata-chan, where do you think Sakura-chan is?" Naruto asked as he
Saw his fiancé arrive with Tenten.
"She's with Ino-chan. Daijobu Sasuke-san, it's just pre-wedding jitters."
Hinata replied shyly.
"Yup, she'll be here shortly." Tenten added.
"Pre-what?" Sasuke asked.
"Pre-wedding jitters, every bride goes through them." Tenten explained.
"Soka…. So Hinata-chan will go through the same thing when we get
Married." Naruto wondered aloud.
"N-n-naruto-kun!" Hinata mumbled, her alabaster skin glowed magenta
At Naruto's comment.
"So we'll be here all day." Neji concluded. Sasuke twitched again.
"Of course not, Neji." Tenten replied.
"Here comes Ino-chan now…… funny, I thought she said she's coming
Here with Sakura-chan." Hinata mused as Sasuke swiftly followed
Her gaze, and sure enough Ino was walking up to them alone.
Sasuke was losing his last shred of patience……
"Where's Sakura?" He asked furiously, by now Sasuke was a nervous
Twitching mess.
"What are you people still doing here? Minna, get inside now! Where's
Kakashi-sensei? He's supposed to walk forehead girl up the aisle!"
Ino exclaimed, her answer somehow managed to calm Sasuke down.
"Present!" Kakashi replied as he suddenly appeared behind Ino in a
Puff of smoke.
"Good! Places everyone and for goodness sake Sasuke SMILE!
This is YOUR wedding day!" Ino screeched.
"I dunno how you can stand her….." Kiba mumbled to Shikamaru as
They filed back into the church.
"I heard that dog boy!" Ino yelled.
"How troublesome, ikuzo Ino." Shikamaru called over his shoulder.
