Chapter 6

Wedding and Broken Hearts

A week after the letter incident between Temari and Gemmei, they decided not to talk about that again. The wedding would be today. Gaara and Kankurou arrived the day before. Soon the ceremony would start. In the bride's room Temari was getting ready along with Sakura, Harukichi, the wife of Fumihiro, and Ginko who were assisting her.

"You look beautiful," said Harukichi, admiring Temari's wedding kimono.

"Thank you," said Temari.

"Hey would you two mind if temari and I talked alone for awhile," asked Sakura. The two women complied and left Temari and Sakura alone.

"Sakura," said Temari.

"Temari, you do look very beautiful," said Sakura, in a sad voice.

"What's the matter," asked Temari.

"I just thought that you would be marrying Shikamaru some day," said Sakura.

"Oh," said Temari, "Don't worry. The two of us have to stick together here."

"For Konoha and Suna right," asked Sakura.

"Naturally that's our duty as a kunoichi," said Temari.

"Temari, good luck," said Sakura. Temari understood that it meant good luck trying to stop loving Shikamaru. Then, there was a knock at the door.

"Ah who is it," asked Temari.

"Gaara and Kankurou," said the voice of her younger brother. Sakura opened the door to let the two of them inside.

"Looking good Sakura," commented Kankurou, "Anyway Temari the wedding is starting in five minutes."

"Thank you Father Time," said Temari, as if Kankurou was stating the obvious.

"Haha," said Kankurou.

"Sakura," said Gaara finally speaking, "I see that you are well."

"Yes," said Sakura.

"Does Naruto know," asked Gaara.

"I don't know," replied Sakura.

"If he did he would have been over here in an instant to come and save the girls," said Kankurou, rolling his eyes at the thought of the blonde's antics.

"Temari," said Gaara, "You know you don't have to do through with this."

"Yes I do. It's for Suna," said Temari, "And I'm not leaving Sakura here alone. I'm not bailing."

"Stubborn as ever aneki," said Gaara, with a smirk. "Shall we go?" Gaara and Kankurou were to give away the bride as per the custom. Sakura was the maid of honor. The whole place would be filled with Lords, Ladies and other royals, including the Kage of the five main shinobi villages. (Except Tsunade wasn't there but in Kiri).

Even with both of Temari's on either side of her and Sakura walking in front of her, she was wreck. She didn't want to do this but she was following her brain and sense of duty over her heart as usual. The walk down the aisle seemed too long for Temari's liking. It seemed like hours and that everyone was gawking at her. But then she realized that she is the bride, everyone is to look at her.

"Who is giving away the bride," asked the Tsuchikage, who was preforming the service.

"Sabaku no Gaara and Kankurou," replied both boys, letting their sister go up to her future husband.

"We shall begin then," said the Tsuchikage. And the wedding proceeded without much interruption.

Around the same time in Kiri, while Temari was getting married so was Tenten. Since Tenten had no family, Gai and Lee were going to walk her down the aisle. Neji also accompanied them to watch them and make sure that they don't screw up. (And secretly to see the guy that Tenten is marrying).

Tenten was getting her final touches on her makeup done by Higoshi. Tenten felt akward around her after she realized that she was breaking Haruki and Higoshi's hearts by not letting them be together. (Of course she forgets that she's breaking her own heart by marrying Haruki and not being in Konoha to be with Neji). It isn't her fault, let's blame the council. But whatever Tenten did to make her feel less guilty didn't help.

"Tenten-san you look tense," commented Higoshi.

"I'm just nervous," said Tenten.

"That and the fact is that you don't want to do this," said Higoshi.

"Yeah," said Tenten.

"Don't worry, Haruki-baka will treat you right," said Higoshi.

"I'm not worried about that. I know that Haruki-sama is a good guy," said Tenten.

"So that Hyuuga is who you are worried about," said Higoshi, meeting Tenten's teammates the day before. "Let me guess you are in love with him."

"Yeah, I guess I always have," said Tenten.

"Just like me," whispered Higoshi.

"What was that," asked Tenten, even though she heard it prefectly.

"TENTEN," yelled the voice of Lee. Higoshi is saved from the question.

"Yes, Lee," asked Tenten.

"The wedding is about to begin and they need their bride," said Neji, not Lee. Neji had his hand over Lee's mouth so he wouldn't yell again.

"Ah, well Higoshi-san," said Tenten, "Are we ready?"

"Indeed," said Higoshi. She was the maid of honor and best, er, women. She had a dual job to attend to. Gai and Lee grabbed Tenten to begin in after Higoshi. Neji went back to his seat, silently as only Neji could do.

"Tenten, you ready," asked Gai, surprisingly not loud.

"As I'll ever be," commented Tenten. The walked down the aisle was faster than Tenten hoped it would be. She would be married any minute now to someone she didn't love. She looked at her idol, Tsunade who gave her a smile. (Tsunade was marrying them as seeing as it's the Mizukage getting hitched).

"Who is giving away the bride," asked Tsunade.

"We are," said the green suited duo.

"Ah, let's begin shall we," said Tsunade, who began the service. As the service was happening, Neji sat in the front row trying to stay calm for Konoha's sake. As the question of 'Does anyone have a problem with this union..speak now or forever hold you peace?' Neji truly tried not to jump up, in un-Hyuuga manner, and scream that Tenten is his. And he succeeded in going through that and the 'I dos'. During the kiss of the newlyweds, Neji wanted to kill the Mizukage, but held back.

"Neji are you alright," asked Lee.

"I'm fine," said Neji.

"Then breathe," said Lee.

"Neji, Lee, Gai-sensei," said Tenten to her old team. "I really appreciate you coming."

"Of course we wouldn't miss this Tenten," said Gai.

"That's a silly notion," said Lee.

"Ah," said Neji.

"Tenten-san," Higoshi, "Time for the first dance as man and wife." Tenten nodded and hugged all of her teammates one by one and left to go dance. Neji sighed slightly as to make sure that Gai and Lee didn't here.

As Tenten danced with Haruki, both seemed happy. But to the trained eye of Higoshi, Gai, Lee and Neji they knew that the two of them weren't happy.

Someone from the crowd, "Don't they look like such a happy couple!"

Yeah right if only they knew. If they knew what was happening to four people's hearts right now. Breaking into tiny little pieces.

A month later in Iwagakure, Sakura was the one getting ready for her wedding now that she was eighteen. She was marrying a twelve year old boy. Sasuke nearly flipped about that little detail. Sasuke, Sai, and Kakashi were there, along with her parents and sister. Kakashi and her father were the ones to walk Sakura down the aisle. It was true that Naruto had no clue about this. Temari was doing the finishing touches on Sakura's hair.

"Sa-ku-ra," said her sister, "You look good."

"Thank you," said Sakura.

"OI, Sakura-nee-chan," said Sasuke, knocking on the door.

"Come in Sasuke-kun," said Sakura.

"Hey, Temari," said Sasuke.

"Wow, you are pleasant," said Temari.

"I'm going to ignore that statement," said Sasuke. "Kaka-sensei and you father are waiting for you."

"Okay, I'm ready," said Sakura. "Thanks for coming Sasuke-kun."

"Ah, no problem," said Sasuke. Although you should be with Naruto. Was Sasuke's unspoken thought. Sakura walked out of the room to see her father and Kakashi talking pleasantly.

"Is my daughter ready," asked her father.

"Sakura you are a beautiful bride," said Kakashi.

"Thank you Kaka-sensei," said Sakura. "I'm ready." Her father and Kakashi took one arm on Sakura each to walk her down the aisle. Her sister, mother, Sasuke and Sai took their seat in the front row. Temari was walking in first as the maid of honor.

Sakura felt more comfortable with her father and Kakashi there next to her. (Secretly she's more comfortable with Kakashi, but her father here is nice). Kakashi was looking worriedly at his former student hoping that she wasn't going to regret this one day. Her father was happy that his second daughter made something of herself, unlike her older sister. Sasuke watched as his teammate and sister walk down that aisle.

Sasuke since his return imagined that he would be the best man, standing next to Naruto seeing Sakura walk down the aisle. Sasuke sighed and eyed Sai to see his reaction. As usual, Sai was smiling but you could tell he was less thrilled about this than him. Sakura's older sister put one hand on Sasuke's shoulder and one on Sai's as if to say 'She decided to do this for Konoha, don't worry.' Sasuke had no idea how he was going to tell Naruto this. Sasuke internally cringed at the sight of his heartbroken best friend.

Sakura got to the alter and smiled at Hachiemon, who smiled shyly back. Sasuke and Sai glared at him.

"Who gives this bride away," asked the Tsuchikage.

"I, Kakashi do," he said.

"As do I," said her father.

"Let's begin," said the Kage. Tsunade looked at her apprentice as she got married and didn't' look forward to telling Naruto, her little brother this. I just help break Naruto's heart into many pieces.

"I do," said Sakura.

"I do," said Hachiemon. With that the two were married.

At the after party Sasuke and Sakura danced, Sai and Sakura danced, and Sakura danced with Kakashi too. Sakura also danced with her father. Sakura had her first dance with Hachiemon which to Sasuke looked completely wrong.

"Oi, Sakura's aneki," said Sasuke, referring to Sakura's elder sister.

"Yeah, Sa-su-ke," said the girl.

"I think Temari's husband is looking at you," said Sasuke.

"I didn't notice," said the girl.

"Sasuke-kun, I want to talk to my sister," said Sakura, interrupting their conversation.

"Ah, whatever," said Sasuke, stalking off.

"Aneki," said Sakura.

"Hmm," said the older girl.

"I want..."

"I know," said the sister, hugging Sakura. "I know." Sasuke watched the two siblings as did Sai, who said nothing.

The rest of spring passed, as did the summer. Now it was a beautiful autumn day in Kumogakure and Ino stood in front of a mirror with Hoshiko putting her hair up. Her parents, and her team came to see her off to marriage. Inoichi and Shikamaru would be walking her down the aisle.

"Relax," said Hoshiko, "You're shaking to much."

"I can't help it," said Ino.

"I know you don't want to do this, but it was your choice to help your country," said Hoshiko. This girl was the only one Ino felt comfortable around. Hoshiko came from a different country as well.

"Meh, this is so troublesome," said Shikamaru, from outside the door.

"Shikamaru stop complaining for once," said Asuma.

"Ah leave him alone," said Chouji, munching on chips, "He is still angry that Temari got married, now he is losing one of his best friends. Just as bad as Neji with Hinata and Tenten."

"Temari, Sakura, and Tenten are married already," said Ino, "HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?"

"We didn't want to upset you," said Inoichi.

"Hmph," said Ino. Poor Shikamaru losing Temari, poor Neji for losing Tenten, and doubly poor Naruto for losing Sakura. Naruto was going to confess as soon as he got back, he told Ino all about it.

"Stop screeching," said Hoshiko, "There you are done." Ino stepped out to greet her friends and family face to face. They had just arrived that day.

"You look good, princess," said Inoichi.

"Meh, troublesome girl," said Shikamaru with a smile on his face.

"Look good Ino," commented Chouji.

"Come on we have a wedding to go through," said Hoshiko, who was the maid of honor and best woman. Inoichi and Shikamaru were ready to walk Ino down the aisle. Ino thought that this would be the longest walk of her life. Ino normally liked attention, but with a bunch of people staring at her like that.

Inoichi knew that Ino wasn't going to be happy, but she decided to do this anyway. He remembered Ino as a young girl dreaming of her prince charming and dream wedding. That was soon shattered by everything that had happened over the past years, since she became a kunoichi.

Shikamaru sighed. He remembered all those fantasies that Ino wanted to live in, but knew she couldn't. She never liked Sasuke, but admired him, Shikamaru found this after a year that Sasuke left. Shikamaru couldn't believe what Temari, Sakura, Tenten, Ino and Hinata are giving up for Konoha and their clans or there lack of. Shikamaru knew girls were troublesome and didn't feel like understanding them

At the alter, Shikamaru and Inoichi let Ino go up to Hyotaru. Shikamaru gave his teammate a slight smile and sat down next to Chouji. Inoichi gave his daughter a kiss on the cheek and sat next to his wife.

The ceremony was quick up until the speak now or forever hold your peace part. Inoichi, Chouji, and Shikamaru wanted to object but didn't. Not the way Ino was looking, determined and you can never change her mind when she sets it to something.

"I do."

"I do."

"You may kiss the bride." And the very short peck on the lips, the reception was boring, except for the food.

"I can't believe you went through that," said a familiar voice from behind Ino.

"SAI," yelled Ino.

"Long time no see Miss Beautiful," said Sai.

"When? How? Why?"

"I came here to see you duh," said Sai. "By the way, I saw Sakura. She married a twleve year old."

"Oh my," said Ino, "Sasuke-kun was not happy about that I bet."

"Nor was I," said Sai, "At least your husband is somewhat acceptable." Sai eyed Hyotaru who was speaking with Hoshiko.

"Thanks for coming," said Ino.

"Ah," replied Sai. He didn't know what this feeling was right now, but he didn't like it. Ino went over to her new husband and her new friend leaving Sai.

"Sai you better stop staring at them like that," said Shikamaru, "People may get the wrong idea."

"Oh," said Sai, looking at Shikamaru.

"Don't worry the feeling will eventually pass," said Shikamaru.

"You too with Temari-san right," said Sai.

"Ah, let's get some food before Chouji eats it all," said Shikamaru dragging the once emotionless Sai toward the food.

Autumn time soon passed and winter strolled in with four feet of snow in Konoha, who are known to have bad winters. Hinata sat in her room with Hanabi. Hinata was dressed and ready to go

"So you are going married today," said Hanabi, "I can't believe that you are going through with this just to become head. You are strong enough without a man by your side."

"The council obviously has no faith in me," said Hinata, frowning.

"Now, now don't frown," said Akemi coming in.

"Ah," said Hinata.

"Washi is a nervous wreck," said Akemi. "I don't think that Sasuke-san is helping."

"What is that Uchiha doing," sighed Hanabi, "I better go save Washi." Hanabi left the room to do just that.

"Sweetie don't worry everything will be fine," said Akemi, "Washi will help you with the clan duties so you don't have so much work."

"I know I'm not worried about that," said Hinata. Today was the day Naruto returns. She tried to get it earlier but no one would listen to her or Washi, who tried to help. Kami help her. Make sure Naruto gets there after the wedding. She really didn't care if he crashed the reception, because knowing Naruto he would do just that if he couldn't crash the wedding.

"Just get through the I dos," said Akemi, "Everything will be fine."

"I just hope you are right," said Hinata.

"Oi, Hinata-sama," said Neji, "Hiashi-sama is waiting for you."

"I'm coming Neji-nii-san," said Hinata, as she thank Akemi for calming her somewhat.

"Hinata you look jsut like your mother," said Hiashi.

"Thank you Otou-sama," said Hinata.

"Shall we go," said Hiashi. Tsunade was performing the ceremony so Hiashi could walk his eldest daughter down the aisle.

Hinata breathed in and out. With her father at her side and Hanabi ahead of her, and the other boys there calmed her. But she noticed Sasuke and Sai weren't there. Maybe they were trying to stall Naruto or waiting for him to show to stall him. Hinata was being gazed at. Now she felt as if she was twelve again, when she was a dark timid weirdo. Well, she still is dark and weird though.

"Who gives the bride away," asked Tsunade.

"I do her father," said Hiashi, letting Hinata go over to Washi. Hiashi's eyes told Washi that his daughter better be safe with him.

"We shall begin," said Tsunade. Everything felt like a blur to Hinata. She felt the words 'I do' come out of her mouth and Washi's as well. The kiss the bride part was nothing to remember, Washi did it quickly.

"Hinata-san you look very pretty," said Washi as they headed to the room where the reception would be held. Tsunade went off to go to a session with Kurenai, Shizune, and Anko.

"I just hope Naruto-kun will show up tomorrow," said Hinata.

"I'm sure everything will be fine," said Washi, "Sasuke-san and Sai-san went to stall him because Hanabi-san kicked both of them out."

"I hope they weren't doing anything bad," said Hinata.

"No just trying to scare me," said Washi, "I think it's because they lost Sakura-san, Ino-san, Tenten-san and Temari-san."

"Yes, Sakura-chan leaving broke Sasuke-san again," said Hinata, "Sai was quite depressed after attending Ino's wedding. Shikamaru was looking like he was the walking dead after hearing from Kankurou that Temari-chan got married. Neji-nii-san faired no better with Tenten-chan."

"Don't worry," said Washi, smiling, "Try to have some fun okay?"

"Hai," said Hinata, taking Washi's hand as the went into the ball room.

Sasuke and Sai were walking in their kimono's next to Naruto, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Yamato. Kakashi, Sasuke and Sai looked uncomfortable.

"So how come no one else came," said Naruto.

"Uh, busy I think," said Sasuke.

"I'm glad that you are alright Sasuke," said Naruto, "You are even being nice."

"Uh, yeah," said Sasuke.

"Man, why is there so much snow on the ground," said Naruto.

"It's winter Naruto," said Sai.

"Ah," said Naruto, "So, what's with the kimonos?"

"Nothing," said Sasuke, Sai and Kakashi too quickly.

"OI, Ero-sennin what's the deal," asked Naruto.

"Oh, I think today's Hinata's wedding to her betrothed, you know someone she doesn't love," said Jiraiya. Sasuke, Sai and Kakashi turned pale and paler.

"Oh...WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN," yelled Naruto, after a second.

"NICE GOING," yelled Sasuke and Sai at the sennin. Sasuke and Sai grabbed Naruto who was ready to bolt to the Hyuuga compound.

"LET GO," yelled Naruto, struggling against the two. Yamato ran off to the Hokage to alert her. "WHO THE HELL IS HINATA MARRYING???"

"She's not the only one kid," said Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, shut the fuck up right now," snapped Sasuke. "Do you want him to go demon on us all."

"WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME," yelled Naruto.

"Temari, Tenten, Ino and Sakura are married off in different countries," said Jiraiya, calmly.

"WHAT?"

"Oh dear Kami," said Kakashi, who began off to the Hyuuga compound to alert them. Naruto broke free of Sasuke and Sai's grasp and in an instant he ran off to the Hyuuga's place.

"What the fuck did you do that for," asked Sasuke.

"I couldn't tell him while we were on the training trip," said Jiraiya, "Plus it's too late now right. Hinata's ceremony is over."

"I hope Naruto doesn't do anything stupid," said Sai. Sasuke looked at him and then bolted off after his best friend. Sai was following after. Jiraiya shrugged, the boy would have to get over it eventually.

"I just hope he doesn't kill Hinata's husband," said Jiraiya, sighing. He went off in the direction of the Hokage Tower.

Hinata and Washi were sitting down. Hinata felt something was wrong in the air. Something bad was going to happen As the thought went through her mind, about ten Hyuuga's went flying in trying to stop a demon's rampage.

"Shit Naurto," said Shikamaru, becoming alert. "Chouji, Neji, Shino, Kiba you guys know what to do."

"Hai," said the four. The formation was to stop Naruto and calm him. But they weren't going to attack him.

"Naruto," said Kiba, "Get hold of yourself!"

"Naruto don't be stupid and calm down," said Shino.

"Naruto stop your scaring people," said Chouji.

"Naruto," said Neji. But Neji noticed something. Kyuubi's energy wasn't out, it was all Naruto. "SHIKAMARU I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO WORK!"

"Shikamaru let me do something," said Hinata.

"Fine, but be careful," said Shikamaru to the girl. Hinata nodded and approached Naruto.

"HINATA HOW COULD YOU MARRY SOMEONE THAT I KNOW YOU DON'T LOVE," yelled Naruto.

"I had to Naruto-kun," said Hinata, calmly as she stared at him.

"And the others," said Naruto, finally calming down after seeing Hinata.

"Naruto they left to protect Konoha and I'm doing this so I can change the Hyuuga clan," said Hinata, "Washi isn't a bad person."

"Washi so that's the guys name," said Naruto, still angry.

"Naruto calm down," said Sasuke, jsut showing up.

"Why didn't anyone tell me this," said Naruto.

"Because we knew that you would try and save them all from unwanted marriage," said Sai, showing up right after Sasuke.

"Even though they decided to do this of their own free will, the heart was against it," said Neji.

"We are kunoichi Naruto-kun," said Hinata, "It's going to be okay." Hinata hugged Naruto who broke down crying. He was crying because he really did lose Sakura and the fact that all the girls that he wanted to protect were not in his protection reach.

Temari and Sakura were at a ramen stand eating, when a ramen bowl that the cook was holding dropped and broke in pieces. Temari and Sakura exchanged glances and new something happen with Naruto.
Ino was tending to some flowers, when a sunflower, which are not in season wilted in a green house. Sunflowers remind me of Naruto...

Tenten was polishing one of her old swords, when she noticed a crack in it. Naruto gave me that sword after Sasuke returned...

Tsunade was listening to the three women in front of her. Shizune felt like she is a bad person for seducing that man, Anko couldn't get the sight of blood off of her and Kurenai lost a baby she didn't even know that she was going to have. Tsunade was thinking of putting them on inactive duty for awhile, but she needed her shinobi right now.

"Hokage-sama," said Yamato, barging in with Kakashi after.

"Yamato, Kakashi," yelled Tsunade, "What's wrong?"

"Naruto crashed the Hyuuga reception," said Yamato.

"Oh no," said Tsunade.

"I had to tell him," said Jiraiya appearing.

"Could you have done it in a better way," asked Kakashi. "But Hinata has Naruto under control for now. At least he didn't take a swing at Washi-san."

"Kakashi see to it that Naruto is filled in about everything," said Tsunade. "I know you have a way with words."

"Sure thing," said Kakashi, popping out of the room.

"So, inactive duty for you three for a month," said Tsunade. "You three kunoichi are dismissed until tomorrow. Yamato you can go home. Jiraiya and I need to talk."

Jiraiya gulped and knew he was in some trouble.

ACGOMN: Next chapter is the last. I know I'm going to get some people who wanted the girls not to go through with it, but I felt this story needed an unhappy ending. I know Sasuke is out of character, but I think that after killing Itachi it would change him. Naruto freaked out like I planned.
