Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
A/N: ehm… First, I want to say sorry of it took me a long time to update this story. Actually, I was thinking on discontinuing this fic already, but I thought of my love for Naruhina, so I decided to continue. I'm really sorry. I was so busy the following months, we were doing a computer system and we had to undergo a system defense first to pass some of our first semester's subjects. Aside from that, I loved someone and got brokenhearted… I don't want to write any stories back then; coz every single thing hurt me… Anyway, as of now, I found a new love…who's always there whenever I need his shoulders… It was hard to admit…but I started loving him… three years ago… I just didn't notice it… I guess I'm as oblivious as Naruto neh??
Second, I want to thank all of those who read and review. I'm so happy that you're supporting me guys… thank you… I'm sorry too that I can't reply to all of you… I just always don't have enough time. Sorry… But I want you to know that your reviews are greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I want you to know that this chapter is second to the last chapter. I'll be posting the last chapter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Just please bear with me. Thank you!! Mwah!!

"Gah!! Nyahahaha!" Naruto laughed comically as he talked with Kiba, while his eyes keep on searching for that white-eyed girl of his life. He wanted badly to see her, just so the nervousness will stop… Because that's what she is for him… his courage…
"Oh, freaking shit!" he heard Kiba gasped as he looked wide-eyed in one direction. The look on his face was priceless and upon seeing his surprised look, Naruto slowly turned his head and met a certain Hyuuga staring at him with a weird look.
Hyuuga Neji…
He was about to laugh at Kiba on his reaction but his gaze slowly turn to a girl standing beside or rather behind the Hyuuga prodigy…
It was his turn to widen his eyes and drop his jaws…
While Neji look like a creepy war angel, ready to die for the woman standing beside him… in Naruto's eyes, even Kiba, Neji and other people's eyes… she is a goddess…
Her long smooth hair is up in a bun, as several curly locks falls in her side. Her face made simple, young and elegant by a mere powder and a lip-gloss to match. It seems like she's the only girl in the mob who didn't put any make-up, yet she's one of the most beautiful in the crowd. Her never fading blush makes her cheeks glow naturally, and her long satin lavender gown flows beautifully to the toes of her feet, which are wearing glass sandals… Everything about her seems so beautiful…outside and inside… It made her so spectacular…
Naruto felt like he's a mere human who doesn't have any right to stand before her beauty. As he looked at her in amazement, affection, love, desire… he heard the 'goddess' speak.
"N-naruto-kun? Are you okay?" she asked in concern as she saw his face almost contorted in shock. Besides, the feeling of everybody's warm gaze on her, including Naruto, made her so…uncomfortable…
"Hinata… y-you're beautiful…" Sasuke said before Naruto has spoken. Naruto turn his head rather ferociously that Hinata was afraid that it'd gone out of his neck. He gave the Uchiha a glare as he thought, 'That's my line teme!'
"Y-yeah, you're magnificent Hina-chan!" Naruto blurted out as he blushed madly. He let go a comical laugh to hide his embarrassment at the situation.
"Arigatou…" she replied with a crimson color on her cheeks, while Neji seems like he want to Kaiten to death everyone whose been looking at Hinata, which includes Sasuke, Naruto and Kiba.
He gave a stop-staring-at-her look at them as he gritted his teeth thinking, 'These idiots obviously have dirty thoughts on my cousin… I'll never allow that, I have to protect Hinata-sama on these filthy bastards… '
He gave an almost kunai-sharp glare at Naruto as if saying, 'Even you Naruto! Go tell her first!'
"I wonder why it suddenly got creepy in here…" Sasuke suddenly whispered as the hair on his neck stood up.

Kakashi waited for her as she walked slowly in the aisle, not taking off his glance even once. Before he had thought, that this day, this very moment would be a very memorable one, and
He wanted to imprint everything of her in his mind. As she smile at him softy, a special smile he knew just for him, he felt the incredible happiness growing inside him. It seems like she's flying to him, her beautiful gown trailing at her back. Her veil hides a little of her beauty, she's radiant in and out. Collective oohs and aahs were in the crowd, but they didn't seem to hear… All he wants this time is to be able to hold their hands together, to feel her warmth and know that she's real.
And indeed, when he reached for her soft hands, it's warm… And he knew he isn't dreaming, she's there, she's real…He's holding her hands tightly as if he doesn't want to let go.
Sakura, on the other hand, knew that it is the thing that is hers and only hers. She had once spent her time looking at the wrong direction, wrong man, not knowing that from the very start, her real prince charming had always been beside her. Her real prince charming, who waited painfully just for her to look at him even once, who wanted nothing but to see her smiles, who really care for her even though he was also in pain… And yet she had never seen him… because she was looking at the front… Not knowing, that true love can be found beside her…
And she was lucky… that she had been able to open her eyes in time…
Before they knew it, it's time for changing vows…
"Ehem ehem", Tsunade started with a comical cough that the crowd laughed a little," Today we are here to witness the joining of two hearts, two destinies, two lives bound by love. Kakashi…" she paused to look at the copy ninja, "Sakura…" she called turning to the girl she used to teach...
"You may now present your vows…" she said before nodding at Kakashi.
"Aherm…" he cleared his throat and took her left hand, " Sakura…I-I…had waited for you to notice me… I had always stared at you from behind…But now…I…it's hard for me to believe it….You're here… I can kiss you… I can hold you… I can stare at your face freely and you'll smile at me…I won your heart…I promise to you that you'll never walk alone again, that I'll always be beside you to hold your hand when you feel bad… I promise that I'll kiss you and hug you and hold you everyday of my life and won't get sick of doing it…I promise to take care of you…I promise that I will be a good husband…a good father to our children. I promise… " he trailed off when he felt her warm hands touch the brink of his eyes. He smiled tenderly; he didn't notice he's already crying.
"Go, Kakashi! Show us the undying power and courage of pure love!!" Gai exclaimed, standing up to make a horrible pose. Tsunade glared at him, which made him sweatdropped.
"I…I promise… that I'll cook for you, that I'll be faithful to you…I-I promise…that I will love you…until I draw my last breath… I love you Sakura…" Kakashi continued, ending his vow with slipping the ring on her left ring finger that gained a large applause from the audience. They never knew that the nonsense type of guy, Hatake Kakashi, is such a romantic type.
"Sakura..?" Tsunade nodded to her apprentice who's now letting her tears out that she found it hard to speak.
"K-Kakashi…I…Me too… had waited for this day… Me too…can't believe that you're here, that you're real… I am so happy that I found you in my life… I looked at another guy long enough that I didn't notice you're there… But now…. But you…you changed my whole life completely. You taught me so many things, you made me gain confidence in my self, you helped me move on. You were there when I needed you… and up to now, you're still here. I promise you that you'll the only guy I'll look with such loving eyes… I promise I'll be faithful…I promise we'll walk together, stand up together when we come in the dark side of the road and problems approached us. I promise you that I'll give you my whole life as long as you want to… I'll make you happy… I won't let you have regrets that you love me… I'll be a good wife and mother…I promise I'll always make you feel that I love you…I promise that you'll the only one this heart will love on my entire life… I love you Kakashi… Till eternity ended…"
"With the power bested on me as the Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure, I now pronounced you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Tsunade said after Sakura slipped the finger on Kakashi's hand.
The latter lift up her veil, and as if deaf with all the excited voices around them, he slipped out of his mask so fast then captured her lips in a passionate kiss. The crowd was so astounded that they couldn't speak.
"Gah!!! Sasuke-teme!! See that!!! We now see what's behind Kakashi's mask!!! Waaaa!!! I can't believe he's that handsome!!! " Naruto's voice broke the silence, yelling at Sasuke while his hands tried to stop Hinata from seeing Kakashi's look.
"Na-naruto-kun!! I can't breath" came a muffled sound from Hinata, because apparently, Naruto covered not her eyes but her nose and mouth.
"Aw.. Sorry Hinata-chan…" the blond apologized as he scratched the back of his head clumsily.
Gai, Neji, Lee and Sasuke were the next ones who recovered from shock.
"Surprised everyone??" Kakashi grinned after their kiss. Sakura look at him and grinned too.

At the reception…
'Okay ...fine…This is it Naruto! You can do this! Relax! Relax!' He silently told himself as Kakashi winked at him, a signal that it is time.
'Okay…Hinata…You can do this!! Don't panic!! Just tell him you love him!' Hinata, on the other hand, is also cheering for herself. She met Sasuke's encouraging look. She smiled and looked around to find Naruto standing a few meters behind Kakashi. She approached him nervously.
"N-naruto-kun!"
"H-hinata…" she thought she heard him murmured her name with so much emotion.
"A-anou… N-naruto—"
"Ah…Hinata--- Ah, you first!" The blond exclaimed when they both spoke at the same time.
The Hyuuga smiled with the faintest hint of pink on her cheeks. "N-no…you first…"
"Ahm… Ah…I'm going to tell you something! Just wait for me okay! No matter what happen… can you promise me, that you'll never ever leave here…?" Naruto asked nervously, scratching the back of his head, as cold sweat began to appear on his face.
"I…I promise…"
"Can you give me a pact then?" Naruto asked as he stared at her tensely, as if what he is about to do, is a matter of life and death. Well, for him it is. He held out his pinky to intertwine it with hers. They both smiled and sighed.
"It is a promise then…" said Hinata blushing more as their finger's interlocked.
"Can I ask you another favor, Hinata-chan…? Can you… say good luck to me…? I'm about to do something really scary…Hahaheheh" he tried to laugh and failed so badly.
She smiled, "Ganbatte… Naruto-kun… I know you can do it… I trust you…N-naruto-kun?? Are you okay…?" she asked as she saw him staring so hard at her.
It is now Naruto's turn to smile.
"Arigatou Hinata!! You just gave me courage!!" he said turning his back as Kakashi called him. Hinata watched his back wondering when he suddenly stop back on his tracks and said something.
"Keep on smiling Hinata-chan… You look so beautiful wearing your smile…"
