Chapter 68 – Mebuki's Chapter
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. My heart was soaring as high as the planes I worked on. My only daughter was getting married and to the son of my best friend! I didn't think it was to happen so soon. I didn't expect Sasuke to come to Kizashi and I either.
"Kizashi-san, Mebuki-san, may I speak with you?" Sasuke came to us the morning after his return. Sakura had left for work.
"Sure," We agreed. We all went to the living room where we all sat down.
"What is this about, Sasuke?" Kizashi asked. Sasuke got up from his seat and bowed before us. We looked to each other befuddled.
"Kizashi-san, Mebuki-san, I love your daughter. May I have your blessing to marry her?"
We were frozen. Sasuke was asking for our blessing to marry Sakura! We had to give it before he changed his mind!
"Yes!" We both practically shouted in unison. He raised himself up from the ground.
"Thank you."
"I have to tell Mikoto!" I jumped up and ran out of the house leaving the men at the house. I crashed into the Uchiha house to where Mikoto was.
"Mebuki!" She grinned.
"Mikoto!" I beamed. We both knew what had happened.
"EEE!" We hugged each other.
"We're going to be in-laws!" Mikoto and I jumped up and down.
"It's finally happening! Oh, Mebuki, we've waited so long!"
"I know, Mikoto. This is one of the happiest days of my life," I was not even exaggerating.
"Now, we have to plan the wedding!" Mikoto giggled.
We began the most wonderful event in the history of the world. We pulled out the boxes of wedding thing s Mikoto and I had been picking out for Sasuke and Sakura's weddings since they were born. It had to be in the chapel where Mikoto, Fugaku, Kizashi and I got married. They would have to be married before Sasuke would leave for baseball so by March at the latest. There were only a few months to plan! She had to get a wedding dress unless she wanted mine or she wanted to wear Mikoto's wedding kimono. We had to invite everyone we knew. Everyone had to know about this!
"What are you two doing?" Itachi came into the house. We both smiled to him.
"Sasuke and Sakura are getting married!" Mikoto squealed.
"They are?" He got excited.
"Yes!" I confirmed. He sat down and joined us in our planning.
When Sakura came home that evening, I hugged her as soon as she entered.
"What is this all about?" She asked.
"I'm so happy!"
"About what?" She pushed me off since I was holding her too tightly.
"You and Sasuke are getting married!"
"How did you know?"
"Sasuke asked for our blessing and Mikoto already knew. Sakura, I am so happy!"
"I am too!" We began jumping up and down.
"You have to get married A.S.A.P.!" I told her.
"I know. I want to before Sasuke-kun leaves again."
"That's what Mikoto and I were saying. We already started planning."
"You have?"
"Yes. We've been preparing for this for decades."
"What do you have so far?" She asked. I proceeded to take her to the Uchiha house where all the plans were. Sasuke was already there with Mikoto and Itachi.
"Sakura!" Mikoto ran and gave Sakura a tight hug.
"Oba-san."
"I am so happy!" Mikoto expressed.
"Sakura wanted to see the plans," I told Mikoto. She eagerly took her to the plans. Sasuke looked uninterested while Sakura was very interested.
"We'll invite the whole city and all of our families and-"
"No," Sasuke cut off his mother.
"What?" We all looked to Sasuke.
"I don't want a big wedding," He stated.
"What? But everyone needs to know!" Mikoto stood up for the big wedding.
"No, I agree with Sasuke-kun. I think it should be a little smaller. Maybe just have friends and family," Sakura stood by her man.
"But-" Mikoto began to protest.
"No, they're right, Mikoto. It might be better to have a smaller wedding," I decided to support the couple.
"Fine," Mikoto sighed in defeat.
"Sakura, let's go out,"Sasuke took her hand and the two left us. I was so happy watching them leave.
"Even if we make the guest list shorter it can still be a big event," Itachi winked to his mother.
"True," She smirked.
"Let's get to work, Mikoto," I smiled and we did.
