Chapter 8

I am so sorry that I did not upload in these last days, but I was at the hospital and…well I guess you are not interested in my health problems – you are here for the story :D And a friend of mine Trinidad and Tobago is here for visit and I'm like showing her stuff sooo…
I am having far too much fun writing at the moment, so you guys are lucky! This means maybe one chapter or two every day. Or every second day. Depends on when I am on my laptop. So let us go on with the story shall we? ;) And from tomorrow on I will be in Salzburg! So I won't be able to upload in the weekend.

Have fun!

He smiled at the cute sight.

He wished he could take a picture.

Because they last longer, don't they?

~line break~

"Do you Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki want to take Sakura Haruno as your wife? To honor, love and cherish her until the day you die? If you do then answer with 'Yes I do'.

Naruto smiled and looked to Sakura who was staring at him expectantly.

"I do."

The priest gestured the rings to be brought and Naruto slid the diamond ring down her finger.

"I swear to love you, in good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

Then the priest turned to Sakura and asked her the same question.

Sakura giggled and answered: "Yes, I do!"

After sliding the ring down Naruto's finger the priest announced:

"I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride buddy. I am out of here."

With that the priest left the pair to kiss and applause arose in the hall.

Gaara and the others stood up and smiled as the pair walked down the stairs.

He smiled.

He truly thought they were made for each other.

Naruto sat up in the bed and at first didn't know where he was. But then he turned to his right and saw Sakura slumbering deep in her sleep.

He lay back down and started watching her while she was sleeping.

He had lost the bet.

He hadn't made Sakura smile.

He frowned deeply, but after staring at her features he just had to smile again.

Then suddenly there was a knock on the door.

He stood up, went through his hair with his hands and opened the door to see a hotel worker standing there.

He smiled at him.

"Good morning! I am here to inform you that there will be a dance party in the evening. We would be pleased to have you and your newly wedded wife attend it! Have a nice day."

He bid goodbye and went away.

Naruto winced at the 'newly wedded wife', but nodded anyway.

He turned around to see Sakura sitting up in the bed rubbing her eyes.

"What-Who was that?"

Naruto smiled softly.

"I was informed that there is a dance party this evening in the main hall of the hotel. So…are we going to go?"

Sakura raised her eyebrows.

Did he just say 'we'?

"Ehm, yeah why not?"

He glared at her.

"I do hope that you are an excellent dancer. I won't take anything beneath 'excellent', because I won't let you embarrass me in front of so many people…"

He did not even turn to look at her after saying that and pulled off his shirt to take a shower in the bathroom.

Sakura was fuming and kicked the blankets away.

Asshole.

She sighed and stood up.

Walking to the mirror she stared at her reflection. Bending her head to the right she closed her eyes and let a soft breath leave her lips.

She wrapped her arms around her small frame and weighed her body on her left foot. Her head rolled to the back and she let out a frustrated groan.

She wasn't going to survive this.

Naruto exited the bathroom only covered by a towel that hung low on his waist.

He was using the other one to dry his hair.

When she turned around to face him her mouth went instantly dry. She suddenly had the urgent need to drink five liters of water.

"Would you mind dressing up, you pervert? Not everybody wants to see you walking around naked."

Naruto just rolled his eyes.

"It isn't like there is something you HAVEN'T seen…"

Awkward.

That was how Sakura would describe the situation.

She coughed and looked everywhere except at Naruto.

Naruto was facepalming himself in his imagination. He had to say that, didn't he?

During the day both of them did their best to avoid the other until when they had to get ready for the dance.

Naruto was fixing his tuxedo in front of the mirror when Sakura went out of the bathroom in a long black dress.

It hugged her chest and made it come up a bit just to show a deep cleavage. But from under her chest downwards it was loose and it pooled around her legs on the floor.

Naruto couldn't utter a single word.

'Why is she always dressed like this? Does she do that on purpose? And where does she get this from anyways? Who would take this along to a business meeting in Vegas?'

Let us leave Naruto to debate with his thoughts and move over to Sakura's.

'He didn't even compliment me…this evening sucks already.'

Wow we have so many positive thoughts here. I am going to suffocate.

The married 'couple' made their way down the stairs and stood in front of the doors that led to the big ball hall. No one could bring himself or herself to open it.

Then suddenly it flew open and the attendant from before stood there.

"Oh Mr. and Mrs. Namikaze? You can go in already the dance has already started. Please, after you!"

After more or less shoving them in they were greeted by a big hall full of dresses in all colors and men in suits and tuxedos. Lights were hanging from the ceiling and Sakura couldn't help but be impressed.

Naruto did not seem to even be surprised by the design.

At the moment the director of the hotel and his fiancée were standing at the stage and he was giving a short talk.

"…and I now announce this dance to be started and I ask my lovely fiancée Konan if I may have this dance."

The blue-haired beauty blushed and moved to her soon-to-be husband just to put her right arm on his shoulder and her left hand was held by his right one. Nagato's left hand was placed on her waist and they started moving in tact with the music.

Suddenly, everybody in the hall started dancing like a secret agreement had been made and Naruto and Sakura were the only ones looking a bit lost.

He turned to her and she looked at the hem of her dress. He sighed.

"May I have this dance?"

She looked up flushed and surprised.

Now she hadn't expected THAT.

She smiled lightly and nodded.

Like having a secret agreement they started moving with each other but still leaving the other enough space so as not to invade the other's privacy.

Suddenly the music stopped.

"Excuse me may I have your undivided attention? I want to welcome and congratulate Mr. Namikaze to his wedding! He just got married and as we can see they are deeply in love. I mean look at how they are staring into each other's eyes! Is that not very romantic! Mr. and Mrs. Namikaze – please walk on stage!"

Both of them stopped moving and with their arms still around each other they started shocked into the other's eyes. At first they did not move, but then they turned to the crowd and saw Nagato standing on the stage grinning.

The onlookers were staring at them.

Sakura blushed.

Naruto cleared his throat and hooked his arm into Sakura's.

He pulled his surprised "wife" on the stage and stood opposite Nagato and his wife.

"Naruto, I congratulate you and your newly wedded wife! I am so happy that you decided to spend your honeymoon in this hotel! But say: It was rather a rushed wedding wasn't it? I mean you got married in the Vegas-Fast-Marriage Reception!"

With this he started laughing and Konan held her hand in front of her mouth giggling at her husband's joke.

The people in the hall started sniggering and all eyes were planted on Naruto and Sakura.

Sakura was feeling very uncomfortable under their calculating stares and did not know how to act.

Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Well, you know I love her, she loves me, and so we decided to marry. Why not here? We thought it was perfect here."

Nagato smiled.

"Ahh I see…But I thought you two hated each other? Because we mostly saw you too bickering…"

Now the entire room held their breath.

Sakura stared at her toes.

Again it was Naruto who answered.

"Well, you see we are total opposites. That is why it can occur that we argue a little…"

The audience laughed a little because they could recall the situation in their lives.

But Nagato did not seem satisfied with Naruto's answer.

"Well, if that is so…"

He looked at them wickedly.

"…you would not mind kissing her here and now, would you?"

Naruto and Sakura visibly stiffened and Nagato noticed this right away.

"What is there a problem?"

Naruto blushed a little bit.

"We-Well…we do not like showing public affection…-"

"Oh come on don't give me that!" His eyes glistened with amusement.

"Just one kiss – that is all I ask for!"

Everybody in the room nodded and murmured in agreement.

Sakura was blushing madly and did not know where to look. If she looked to her right she would see the smirking audience watching them. To her left was Naruto and she did not have the urge to look at him – no thank you. And to her front her eyes would meet Nagato and his forever-smiling wife and no she did not want to face them either.

So she looked at her toes like a shy elementary pupil and was introduced to her new class for the first time.

That is why she did not except the arms encircling her body and the hand moving her chin upwards so that she could meet deep blue oceans – which were Naruto's eyes.

And she sure as hell did not expect the soft lips on hers a minute later.

Nevertheless, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back with a force neither Naruto nor she expected, but if the people wanted a show – they would get one.

Naruto nipped on her lips and pried them open in order to slide his tongue into her mouth.

His arms tightened around her and his right hand went on top of her butt and pressed on her body there to decrease the space between their hips.

Her right hand moved from his hair to his back and she felt the flexing muscles beneath the shirt. She shivered when his left hand touched her cheek and moaned lightly into the kiss.

The moan seemed to bring both of them back into reality and they went apart blushing like idiots.

The hall was silence like at a funeral and 90% were suffering of severe nosebleed whereas the other 10% already passed out during the hot make-out.

"…Well that was one hell of a kiss…"

Nagato just had to add his two coins.

After the dance was over, our married couple made their way to their room with an awkward aura around them.

When they were standing in front of their door, and Sakura wanted to open it to cover herself with the blankets, Naruto pushed her to the door with her back banging against it.

"What-?"

She was silenced by a pair of lips covering her own.

Naruto sighed into the kiss and brought both of his hands to her face to angle her head under his.

And I am such a nice person. That is why I decide to stop EXACTLY HERE! Sue me if you can :P I hope you liked the chapter – I overlooked it for mistakes and couldn't find any! Well, see you probably next week when I am back from my short vacay in Salzburg! And Saturday I'll be dancing Salsa, so I don't think I can write on Sunday after coming home from a dance.

Please review and rate!

Until next time,

Your almondeyes97 =)
