Hey guys! Ren here. I know I said I was going to post this chapter yesterday but things got hectic and I hope you can forgive me. This chapter is short too but i think it's worthwhile :) i couldn't have made it longer even if i wanted too.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or It's characters, that right goes to Masashi Kishimoto. All I own is my story ^_^
Happy Reading! ~Ren
Chapter 5: Wedding
LOVE RADIATED THROUGHOUT the atmosphere. Most of it came from the newlywed couple that was sharing a dance on the middle of the floor while everyone else watched. Sakura was sincerely very happy for them , she wasn't going to let herself feel envy or jealousy on 'their' night. Naruto and Hinata deserved each other and she was happy for her teammate that became like a brother to her and her friend. If she couldn't be successful in love she was glad they were.
Naruto announced a toast in Sakura's favor for waking him up and making him realize his feelings for Hinata and encouraging him to never give up on her when he nearly had. Everyone cheered and they sipped their drinks. Sakura gave him a cheeky grin and gave him a curt nod as in a 'your welcome' gesture.
It was a great time and everyone enjoyed themselves. Hinata's family especially was overjoyed that she married the Hero of Konoha. But for Hinata he was just Naruto...no titles required and that's all she wanted although she was glad her family approved. Temari, Tenten, Hinata and her even toke a picture together for memories sake. She was sure Hinata washed them all out with her beauty tonight and glow because of her being the bride but she wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
When it was time for Hinata to throw the bouquet Sakura stood amongst the other girls even though she knew she wasn't going to be able to catch it. Especially not with the other girls being a bit competitive and pushy. She was wagering bets that it would be Ino or Temari. It was said that whoever caught the bouquet would be the next to get married or engaged soon. Seeing as Sakura's love life was non-existent and she wasn't even in a relationship it surely wasn't going to be her. Hinata turned around from the group of girls and shouted over her shoulder
"Ready?!"
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
and just like that she chucked the bouquet over her head and it went airborn. The girls went wild trying to catch it while Sakura just stood there calmly. Wanting to somewhat participate though and not seem like a bore she stretched her arms upward, outreached, as if she was going to catch it.
"Oh I got it I got!" chimed Ino and then Sakura felt something land in her hands.
'No way..'
She brought them back down and there in her hands the bouquet laid. "Awww" cried the crowed of girls in dismay. Hinata though was bouncing with joy. "Your next Sakura! hope everything goes well!" She sounded like 'she' was the one that just got married. The pink haired kunoichi merely smiled and waved off to the retreating couple along with everyone else.
"Wow, can't believe your next" remarked Tenten
"Considering that you don't even have a boyfriend yet either" Temari commented
"Guess Sasuke's coming sooner rather than later huh?" Ino half joked.
"Soon could be in two years guys. Relax it's just a superstition.." She told them
'Or was it?'
Once she got home she was greeted by bouyo who purred around her leg as she slipped off her heels. Sakura let down her hair that was in an updo and let it fall to her back and frame her face in waves. "Missed you too bouyo, even though your only paying attention to me so I can feed you" She picked up her cat, filled her bowl and put her back down to go lay on the couch. On the way there she put the bouquet on the table and collapsed rather lazily on the plush furniture. She didn't even bother to turn on the lights and stared out the window into the star filled sky. She caught herself sighing after a few minutes and then felt a chakra spike -albeit a very familiar one- inside her house, she tensed.
'Could it be? No... it cant..but...that chakra...' She soon got her answer when someone said.
"Sakura.."
Author's note: swooooon *-* I didn't want to put too much detail into Naruto and Hinata's wedding because technically this is Sakura's point of view mainly. I hope i did their wedding justice :o anyways. This leads up to the part i wanted it to go. Personally this chapter and the next few are my favorite so far ;) and you'll see why. and nooo. there's no smut . get your minds out of the gutter! xD
just kidding! of course cx but honestly it is sweet...until a certain point and that'll lead to the main point around this story. That being said I'll see you guys in two weeks! I hope to see reviews on what you guys think =) Bye for now! ~Ren
