AN: Hiya peoples! Well, just to let you guys know, I get your reviews from my email which I check almost everyday, so sometimes I would like to reply to what you had to say. Well, I'm not going to post stories every time I get a review just to write an author's note, and I don't want to post something called "author's note' as one of the chapters unless it's about the stories, and not answering your questions. So, the fastest way that I think that I can reply you what you say, is if I just send a review in my story to reply to what you guys have said. You can always email me if you have a question, and if I so happen to get your review when I'm about to write a chapter, then I'll post it here. Just check on the stories and the reviews for this story. Feel free to email me!
Reunion
"Stay still Ino!" Said Sakura with bobby pins sticking out of her mouth as she tried to do Ino's hair. It was the day of Ino and Shikamaru's wedding. Sakura, being the maid of honor, decided to help her best friend do her hair, but apparently, it wasn't as easy as she thought it would have. Especially when the groom keeps trying to sneak in to see Ino. . . .
"Get out Shikamaru!" Shouted Sakura angrily as she tired to do Ino's hair at the same time.
"Shesh. What's wrong with women? Always so bossy and snappy. . . ." Muttered Shikamaru as he retreated out of the room. He had selected Choji as his best man.
However, Sakura wasn't aware, that almost all of her friends new something that she didn't know, or wasn't allowed to know. Last night, Tsunde had received a message that Sasuke, Naruto, and Rock Lee were perfectly fine, and is returning from their mission. However, the message was sent by Sasuke, and he had mentioned to not let Sakura know of their return. Also, he had mentioned that they should be arriving back at Konoha at last at about seven o' clock the next evening, or the evening of Ino and Shikamaru's wedding. It seemed as if everyone had found out about the message and knew specifily to not tell Sakura of their return.
"Gosh! What is wrong with Shikamaru? How many times has he tried to sneak in here!" Said a very irritated Sakura.
"Oh, Sakura. Come on. Plus, you don't have to deal with him for the rest of your life." Said Ino with a laugh, which made Sakura laugh. "You know Sakura, you should wear something really pretty to our reception tonight."
"Hmm? Why?" Asked Sakura being completely innocent.
"Oh! Nothing! After all, you are the maid of-" Said Ino panicking.
"It's okay. I get it Ino! Sure, I'll pick something prettier since I'm going to be hosting your wedding." Said Sakura which brought a huge relief to Ino.
"Thank you Sakura. Plus, it might benefit you too."
"Oh, I'm not trying to get anyone else though.. . . ."
"I know, I know. Sorry."
Sakura sighed as she thought about Sasuke once more. When was he going to return? Here she was; watching another friend get married and she still not married even though she was the first engaged. She held her hand which held the ring up and examined it's sparkle as the sun shone on the diamonds.
"Sakura. . ." Sang Ino.
"Oh! Huh? What?" Said Sakura snapping back to her senses. "Oh, sorry Ino. I'm almost done."
"It's okay. . ." She said. She knew what Sakura was thinking about. However, she felt happy that Sakura no longer had to hide her lonesome and sad feelings she had everyday since Sasuke was gone. Sasuke was probably going to show up at their reception later, and she wanted Sakura to look stunning for her reuniting moment with Sasuke. She let out a squeal of delight from thinking about all of this.
"Uh, Ino? Are you okay?" Asked Sakura as she studied her friend's overjoyed expression.
"Huh? Oh yeah, yeah!"
"Ok. Well, you're all done!" Said Sakura as she helped her friend up. "This is you're big day, Ino." Sakura said with a kind and gentle smile on her face. Ino knew her friend too well, that she was hiding her sadness that another one of her friends is getting married in front of her, even though she was the first to get engaged.
"Don't worry, Sakura. I'm sure he'll be back." Said Ino with a reassuring smile.
"Oh?"
"Well, shall we get started?" Said Ino happily with a change of tone.
"Mm! So Shikamaru can finally see you! He's been trying to see you all day!"
"Haha. He'll have me for the rest of his life."
"Have fun tonight then. . ." Said Sakura slyly.
"Oh shut up!" Said Ino slapping her friend's shoulder as both of them giggled.
Sakura waited at the front of the church as she watched her friend walk down the aisle with her arm looped with her father's. (I know, I know. I wanted to do a Japanese wedding, but you see, I couldn't fine anything about it, so I had to stick with the Western style weddings.) As he lifted her veil and gave her a kiss on the cheek, he turned to go on the opposite side from his friend Shikato. He always knew his little girl would choose the right man, and it just happened to be his best friend's son. It was actually pretty good, since he knew what he was like, and he did like him. Ino walked nervously on to the platform and faced Shikamaru who seems to have been sweating constantly. He gave a shy smile to Ino like he did when he first started to like her. She returned a nervous smile back, even though this wasn't the usual her. Usually, Ino was a very strong, and the type that would speak her mind. It seemed as if she was never shy, but today, it was different. When they finally said their "I do"s, Sakura smiled and clapped as her two friends were finally married. They ran down the aisle hand in hand with everyone clapping for them. Outside, Ino was going to toss the flower to see who would get married next. Sakura decided not to join in, but was shocked when the flowers landed in her arms. Everyone started to hoot and clap as she madly blushed. In o laughed happily as she saw her friend.
"Don't worry Sakura!" Shouted Ino as her car took off with Shikamaru. "It'll happen! See you later!"
Sakura gave her friend a weak smile. Of all people, why did it have to be her? She wasn't convinced that she would be married anytime soon anyways. She sighed as she walked back into her dressing room. She changed into her kimono for the reception. Her kimono was light pink with a darker shade of pink for the Sakura flowers.
At the reception, there were people bustling around everywhere. Ino and Shikamaru decided to have it at a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant that surrounded a small hot spring. So there was Sakura, being the best hostess she could be; laughing, smiling, being humorous. It was around 7:40 when Ino hissed to Shikamaru about Sasuke.
"When is he going to come?" She hissed as she wore a smile on her face.
"How am I supposed to know?"
"I don't know! I just don't want someone to start hitting on Sakura, 'cause look at her! Look! Doesn't she look pretty darn attractive?"
"Yeah, so what? Isn't that supposed to be good if Sasuke's coming?" Said Shikamaru not getting what Ino meant. To him, women were too complicated.
"Yes! But, what if one of your cousins starts hitting on her, or something?"
"I-" Began Shikamaru, but was cut of by a voice behind them.
"It's not going to happen." Said the voice which belonged to no other than Sasuke.
"Sasuke! You're here! Oh, it's so nice to see you again!" Said Ino excitedly as she hugged him. (Friendly, ok?)
"Hey! So, where are Naruto and Lee?" Asked Shikamaru.
"Uhh, somewhere. Congratulations, you two! But, arguing already?" Teased Sasuke.
"Well, I don't think I'll ever understand women. . ."
"Damn right you won't!" Shouted Ino. "That's because you men are just shallow little-"
"I'll see you guys later then." Said Sasuke as he left the newly-weds debating once more. He maneuvered his way around everyone until his eyes fell on a familiar figure. She was drinking a glass of wine, and she wore a pink kimono with Sakura flowers on it. He could see the pain in her eyes, and he probably knew what she was thinking about. Him. He made his way behind her, and hugged her from behind. She was startled, but then turned around when she saw who it was.
"Good evening Sakura." He said in her ear.
"Oh!" She gasped as she turned around. She couldn't believe it! It was him! She threw her arms around him as tears ran down her face. "Sasuke! It's really you!" She gasped.
"Sorry I had to make you wait for so long." He said smirking as he held her. "Come on. Let's move outside." And he led her out by the spring. They sat down by the water source, and Sakura removed her sandals as she dipped her feet into the hot, steaming water. Sasuke's eyes studied her. She could feel his eyes examining her body. Sasuke sat down by Sakura as Sakura leaned back with her head resting on his legs.
"You're finally back." Said Sakura breaking the silence.
"Mm." Said Sasuke.
"It's been three long years. . . . ." She said as she held up her hand that held the ring he had given her on her birthday. Sasuke glanced at her hand. Sure enough, she had still kept the ring.
"Sakura, do you remember what I said to you three years ago when I gave you that ring?"
"Yes." Said Sakura calmly, but inside, her heart was racing.
"Then," Said Sasuke as he scoped her into his lap, facing him. "Is your answer the same as before?"
"Of course it is! What do you-!" Said Sakura, but was cut off as Sasuke captured her lips. She kissed him back all that she could; letting her coldness fill with warmth. He pinned her on the ground deepening the kiss.
"You're mine." He said as he kissed her once more, even deeper. They pulled away, and Sasuke held her in his lap.
"Sasuke, I've been waiting three years. . . . .Do you, just want to get it over with now?"
"Hmm?"
"You know. Just get married now. . . ."
"Now, as in, right this moment?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Even though you're not going to have a big wedding like Ino's?"
"Yes."
"Even-" He was stopped as Sakura turned around and put a finger to his lips.
"What matters to me, is that I'm going to get married to you. I've waited three years, Sasuke, and I've already been to many weddings and wore all the dresses enough. So, why don't we just do it now? Plus, I can't really picture you going through with all of that."
"Hn."
"So, come on!" Said Sakura getting up all of a sudden, tugging at Sasuke's arm.
"Are you serious you want to do it now?" He asked getting up.
"Yes!" She said breathlessly. How many times does he have to ask her?
"Okay then. . . . ." He said still thinking, but was unexpectedly pulled by Sakura.
"Come on!" She sang as if she was a six-year-old girl. Sasuke could tell that she was truly happy. He felt bad after putting Sakura through pain two times already. Not to mention, when they were just genins, the numerous times where he made her hide away and cry. Overall, Sasuke though, he was a pretty sucky person. But yet, Sakura still loved him, and perhaps it was because he started to become soft. Whatever the reason, he felt lucky that he still had Sakura. Plus, he killed Itachi already, right? No need to worry about anything like that for the rest of his life. (or so he thinks. . . dundundun!)
Before he realized where Sakura had taken him, he came to his senses and discovered he was in the Hokage's office. Sakura was telling Tsunde all about what they were going to do, letting Sasuke hear bits after he stopped thinking about things.
"So Tsunde-sama, could you please grant us this marriage?" Pleaded Sakura.
"Of all people, why me?" Said Tsunde.
"Because you're the first person that came to mind? I don't want a big, fancy wedding; I just want to get married, and that's it."
In Tsunde's mind, it sounded as if Sakura was high or something. The first night Sasuke returns, they're getting married? Isn't it a bit rushed? But then again, she has been engaged for three years already, so it's about time, right?
"Fine. I'll do it then."
"Thank you Tsunde-sama!" Said Sakura giving a quick bow excitedly. Sasuke reached for her hand.
"Umm, okay then. Sasuke, do you take Haruno Sakura as your lawful, wedded wife?"
"Uh, yes?" Said Sasuke quite unsure about what he was saying. Hey, he wasn't a pro at this, right? Plus, he hasn't been to any weddings to witness this, so he has no idea how it's done.
"Okay then. Sakura, do you take Uchiha Sasuke as your lawful wedded husband?" (AN: give me a break! I really don't know any way for them to get married except for by Tsunde-sama, who made sense in my mind to have performed the "ritual?" Well anways, I'm not even sure if this is right. Oh well, I'm never good at this stuff anways. . . .-.-''''')
"Yes." She said with her cheeks turning a bit red.
"Good. Now I present you: husband and wife."
Sakura slowly turned to face Sasuke, but her head hung low as she felt her face turn red. Sasuke smirked at his new wife. He brought her face up so that their eyes met, then gave her a small kiss.
"Okay, okay. I'll see you two later, okay? Get a room now!" Said Tsunde-sama laughing as she waved them out. The door shut, and Tsunde-sama was left in peace once more.
"Ahh, Sasuke and Sakura. . . . .Together, finally." Said Tsunde-sama with a smile.
Sasuke and Sakura finally made it to Sakura's apartment. As soon as the door shut, Sasuke pinned Sakura against the door with her hands about her head. He kissed her and began to go down her neck, making her moan in pleasure.
"Sasuke!" She gasped as he began to go down her collar. He drew away. Sakura looked at him with a confused look as to why he stopped.
"Heh. Don't worry, there's more of that tonight." He said with a growl.
Sakura walked over to him, and whispered in his ear, "Then I'll be waiting. . . ." She said with a smirk. She walked in front of him swaying her hips a bit as she walked, turning him on.
"That Sakura. . . ." He muttered as he ruffled his hair. So this is what it's going to be like for the rest of his life, eh? Well, he sure is going to enjoy it.
End for now!
AN: Okay, I know a lot of this stuff was VERY cheesy. . . . .I'm sorry! Actually, writing this mushy-gushy stuff makes me kinda weird-ish. . . . .anways! I think I'm probably better off with reading mushy-gushy fics that writing them myself! But, I do know that Sasuke's character is out of its character. . . . . .Sorry about that!
