Chapter I: Now
Beep beep beep
...The alarm clock rings, and I groggily cracks one eyes open. It's time… but… I don't wan to get up just yet…
"Sakura, get up already,"
Kiba…? Oh right, yesterday, we finally wed. And today was the first day that we would actually spend together as husband and wife. You could say that it's a dream. I always thought that too. But… it's not a dream…
"Nn……"
"Wake up already. We're going to be late"
"……………Okay"
Today was the day we were going to celebrate a party at Kakashi Sensei's house, right? The celebration was for… me and him… Sakura and Kiba, wife and husband. What should I wear? Should I wear this? No, maybe this? Nah…… maybe… Yeah……… this is perfect.
"How do I look, Kiba?"
"…"
"Ah! You too? Ahaha, great minds think alike, huh?"
"………Well, this way everyone can remember… so…" Kiba rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. Are you blushing, Kiba…?
"Yeah, I even fixed this so I could be able to wear it today!"
Kiba also thought of the same thing. Just because we're going to a party, it doesn't mean we have to dress up all fancy, right? No need for accessories either. The clothes we wore in those days, the clothes we wore for our ninja practices. The clothes we wore every single day…
"It brings back memories…"
"Yeah"
"I always chased around Sasuke-kun with this"
"……Yeah" I looked over at him, he looks a bit… irritated? How funny. Yeah, we're married, but once we wore these clothes it just feels like we just timed warped back into the past.
"Shall we go?"
"Sure"
With that, we both tied out Konoha hitaiate to our heads. Wow, how long has it been since I've worn this? Really, nothing has changed since then. Well, except for the fact that I stopped chasing the Uchiha boy, but other than that… nothing…
---
"CONGRATS ON YOUR WEDDING!" The firecracker noise spreads everywhere in the room.
"KYA!"
As we entered the house of my old ninja teacher, everyone pops up behind the door and shoot their little surprises. The firecrackers make their noise, and friends say their words. I was so surprised, yet so happy.
"Ah…!"
"Huh?" My ex rival and I look into each other, up and down. The Naruto pops up behind her.
"Whoa! You guys are wearing the old clothes, too?" Naruto, Ino, Shikamaru, Kakashi Sensei…… They're all dressed up in their old clothes.
----Everyone was thinking the same thing, then.
"I was going to surprise you guys with this and kept it a secret… NARUTO! You told them, didn't you!" Ino glares over at Naruto with that Yamanaka eye.
"N-NO! NO NO NO I DIDN'T!" Naruto shakes his head and waves his hands right to left non-stop.
"You can call it coincidence," Shikamaru spoke. No, Shikamaru. I don't think it's a coincidence, I think our hearts and minds connected to one and other and well… What can I say? Our hearts is one.
"AHH! Chouji! You ate some of the food while we were talking, didn't you!" There goes Ino again.
"N-n-n-n-n-no I didn't!" Chouji is eating again.
"Ahhhgghh, you guys are all troublesome" Shikamaru is lazy as ever.
"…" Shino is always quiet.
"U-Uh, the p-party…" Hinata is stuttering again.
"Hey, Hey, HEY! Today's special guests are Sakura-chan and Kiba!"
"Hey! You're not going to complain about Sakura today, huh Naruto?"
"What's that suppose to mean? You wanna take this outside?"
"Come on now Naruto, you can never beat you teacher. Not for a thousand years"
Naruto, you'll never change, will you? …I guess some people will never change… Haha, everybody is so childish, just like the old times. But… I think I like it better this way…
"Kiba"
"What?"
"Everybody is acting just like 9 years ago"
"Yeah… Jeez, my ears hurt…" You say that, but you, Kiba, hasn't changed either. Well, maybe in your attitude, how you've become more patient and all, but… still……
"Kiba, you haven't changed, either. But…"
"…?"
"You're smiling more than ever now" Right… Kiba…?
"…………" He looks at me with that dumb face, then he chuckles, flashing that Inuzuka canine teethe at me. ……We're just talking and… I can still feel my heart beat. And we're married now, too. Maybe that feeling I had for him so many years ago came back again? Wow, this whole change into your old clothes things is working out some of its magic…
"You two are looking hot"
"! Kakashi Sensei!"
"Kakashi…"
"Haha, you guys are in those clothes, too?"
"Yeah! We were just talking about that! Everybody was all shocked!"
"Hmm… Kiba, you haven't changed. But Sakura, you have"
"?"
That teacher of mine's eyes wander down to my chest… ……………He hasn't changed either, not a single bit.
"Hey, stop looking already" Kiba covers me behind his back.
"Kiba, you're not going to give Sakura to me?"
"Not in a million years!" ……Kiba…… Now you're acting like your old self again…
"Well, I was just joking, so…"
"Right…"
"Congratulations" Even with his covered face, you can see that smile spread across his face. I smile back, as Kiba rolls his eyes. Everyone begins to party and congratulates us individually. We sure have some great friends… I'm happy, really happy. A little bit different of happy when I'm with Kiba. A feeling of warmness and how safe I feel around them… kind of happiness…
I'm so glad nobody has gone through major injuries so far…----
"……"
"What's wrong, Sakura?"
"N…… Nothing…"
"?" My chest just hurt a little for a bit. Was I getting too excited? "Are you feeling well?" Kiba bends down to look at me.
"I'm okay"
"Don't over do anything"
"I'm fine. I don't want to hurt them, either… so…" Yeah, I'm okay, right? If I say I'm not okay right now, then everyone will start to worry, and their fun will be gone because of me.
"You don't look too good. Here, lie on the couch for a moment" I can feel his hand grab mine.
"…"
"…………Sakura?"
"…"
"……Hey!"
What's this feeling? My head feels all woozy inside, and the world in front of me looks like it's spinning around… I can't think anymore. What's happening to me? What… is this……?
"Hey! Sakura! What happened, Sakura!"
"Sakura?"
"Sakura-chan!"
"W-what's wrong Sakura?"
"Somebody call the hospital!"
"O-okay!"
"-----"
"-----"
"-----"
Everyone's voice is… fading…… away……………
