Chapter 12: Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha

"THERE'S STILL TIME TO BACK OUT" Said Sakura's mother in her dressing room. Sakura rolled her eyes lightly "I've waited years to be with this mad, no way am I backing out. If anything I want to fast forward to the part that we are already married. Don't you like him mom? I thought you said you did"

~* two days earlier*~

'This is kind of awkward' Sakura thought as she sat beside her fiancé on one side of the couch and her parents on the other. None of them said anything and her parents merely stared at Sasuke in shock when she presented him to them, and they were still doing it. Sasuke stared back with no shame or phase in the least and Sakura was getting anxious with this…awkwardly tension filled room.

Kami bless her father, he spoke up. "it's nice to finally meet you Sasuke. As you probably already know, If the village has heard about you, we have too. I'm not going to judge you on your past mistakes, If my daughter can over look it then so can I, I trust her judgement. Though, what I worry for and want to make sure of is that your past mistakes don't resurface while your with my daughter-"

'Oh my god dad!' Exclaimed Sakura in her head, she sent Sasuke a panicked look. Surprisingly she found that he was listening intently and nodding, no glare, no amaterasu, no fireballs, no remark. She knew he was changing but it still pleasantly surprised her.

" Now dear don't be rash.." said her mother, also as concerned as Sakura was the way he was speaking but continued all the same.

"And I hope you aren't just marrying my daughter just because of the love she has for you-" Sakura wanted the walls to swallow her up right then and there. She appreciated her father for coming to her defense but seeing him grilling the 'Uchiha Sasuke' was too much for her.

"I can see on your face that isn't the case and I'm glad. All I ask is that you love and take care of her because that's what she deserves and that's all she's longed from you. Do right by her and give her that and if you feel you can't then don't marry her. That's all I ask, respect from one man to another."

Sakura's heart stopped when Sasuke didn't reply for a few seconds and she felt her heart drop when he asked "Mr. Haruno, may I request we talk alone?"

Her father was taken aback a bit but agreed nonetheless and they left to go in another room beyond the living room. The pink haired kunoichi looked at her mother in worry but she simply smiled.

"It's okay sweetie, he's a good man, always has been a sweet boy. A good heart that experiences tragedy like his can easily be mistaken as a bad heart but with wrong intentions for the reasonable reasons. Even if not right, a heart may have been tainted but-well you know what I mean"

Sakura smiled, of course she did " A bad person always once had a pure heart, but then they go the most tragic life that changed them and their perspectives. Good intentions most of the time but going about it the wrong way which makes others perceive them as evil" Her mother wasn't always the best with words. She nodded "Yes, and I believe he is a good person, If you can see that then so can I, he has my blessing"

Just then Sasuke and her father came back into the living room. Her father was all smiled and Sasuke had the tiniest smirk on his face, this was good news for sure. Sakura's father turned to his daughter his aglow with love and pride. "You two have my blessing as well" Sakura's face lit up and she couldn't be anymore elated.

~*Back to the present*~

"I do" confirmed her mother. "I just want to make sure you don't have any second thoughts"

"I don't" said Sakura firmly with no hesitation.

"Well...alright then, I'll let you get dressed" She kissed the side of her forehead then left.

With her hair and makeup already done Sakura then turned to the dress that stood on the racket before her.

A little later Sakura was standing at the entrance of the Uchiha chapel while Ino hastily fixed her appearance for anything out of place. "Sakura don't be so nervous, relax" soothed Ino as she fixed her veil and the bow behind her kimono. "I am, I am" Sakura breathed out, truth be told she was a little nervous but she was more excited and anxious to marry the love of her life than anything but she was determined to savior the moment.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan, you look beautiful!" complimented Hinata.

She gave them a grateful smile and when the soft music started playing, Ino and Hinata gave her one last reassurance before walking through the curtains arm and arm down the aisle. Her father appeared beside her just at that moment, he gave her his arm and she took it. No communication was needed when he looked at her, A father happy for his daughter's happiness. The grand music that signalized the bride's entrance started playing and Sakura took a deep breath.

They passed the through the curtains and into the large room where everything was decorated and many, many people sat. They all turned to her and she gave them a smile as she gracefully walked down the aisle. She saw Lady Tsunade who gave her a cunning smile, her academy mates who all had smiles for her and Kakashi who gave her a wink and Naruto who gave her a thumbs up. She giggled to herself and then looked in front of her. Her eyes locked on Sasuke and his was solely on hers. there was almost a look of awe on his face, or close to it, it was hard to tell but she knew in that simple stare that he thought she looked beautiful.

She couldn't help the color that tinged her cheeks as she reached and was handed to him, Sasuke and her father gave each other a nod of respect. Everyone was seated and her hands joined with procedure went on as normal, they both said I do and exchanged rings. Sakura nearly cried at how captivating and meaningful her ring was. It matched perfectly with her bridal kimono, a diamond encrusted cherry blossom that swirled with red and blue inside of it. Sasuke had wanted something simple, just a band but on the inside Sakura engraved 'I'll love you forever and more' just for specialty.

Now it was time for the vows, the exciting part, Sakura wanted to go first.

"From the moment I saw you when we were kids, I knew you were going to play an important role in my life. One that would make me want to strive harder and better myself. I liked you, for all the wrong reasons at first but as our team bonded and I spent more time with you and and learned more about you, my feelings for you grew deeper in meaning. It wasn't such a big crush anymore, it was more than that. The trivial things mattered less and less and even though I still found myself wanting to kiss you or go on dates with you-" she laughed a bit and the audience followed suit. "The thing that mattered most to me was your happiness and I thought that if I had kept showing you my love and support that maybe I'd had brightened you day, even if it was just a little. I lived for the rare times you smiled and the times where you looked so at peace and happy despite your dark past. When you left I never stopped loving you and believing in you and now I get to do that for the rest of my life with you and I couldn't be happier. I love you more than I do life itself, I can't imagine being with anyone else. It doesn't feel right if it's not you, it's always been you and I'll always want it to be you for as long as I shall live. I promise to love you until my very last breath and beyond" No memorizing was needed, all of this came from within her heart.

Sasuke's expression was rare one, one that had made Sakura's heart soar. Genuine compassion and fondness for her, It was his turn for the vows now. H rested his forehead on hers and simply said to where only she would hear "I'm sorry for making you wait, You don't have to anymore"

The tears that were already streaming down her cheeks increased tenfold. It didn't matter that his vow was literally a sentence, he managed to covey many things in that alone. It was not just a vow but a promise; A promise to love her, commit to her, protect her, support her, comfort her, cherish her like she's been wanting and that meant everything to her. Her long unrequited love wasn't so unrequited anymore and it was the best feeling to have someone you loved so much after such a long time love you back.

Sasuke moved her veil back and gently wiped her tears away with both of his thumbs and then did something that pleasantly surprised her. Before the priest could announce them as husband and wife Sasuke had tilted her chin up and touched her lips with his in the sweetest passionate love filled kiss they had yet. This kiss consumed her and sealed the deal of the many promises they had for one another and the start of their life together.

Distinctly Sakura was half aware of the loud cheers behind them. They pulled back only a inch away from each other and stared into each other's eyes, nothing else in that moment mattered but them. Sakura grinned from happiness and wrapped her arms around her now husbands' neck and gave him a deep kiss. whoops mixed in with the cheers that got louder in the background with the second kiss. When they separated Sasuke's eyes smiled, a small one tugged at his lips and that made Sakura happier.

Finally doing right by Sakura Sasuke felt more at peace and happy than he ever had since he was a child, seeing that smile on her face and the happiness radiating off of her was something he's been wanting to see for awhile, She was his number one priority and no words could explain how graced he was to have her in his life, as his wife. His vow was short, he knew but he believed in actions a lot more than he did words and he would show them to her, starting with tonight.

"I hereby am glad to firstly announce to you, Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha of the hidden leaf village"
