Naruto's POV
Sakura looked stunning in her wedding dress. That says a lot since I don't use words like "stunning" to describe stuff like this…
Anyways…
The day had come. The Uchiha/Haruno wedding. People crowded the streets, a variety of flowers decorated the streets of Konoha and everyone had a smile on their face. Except for one.
Uchiha Sasuke. The groom.
One would think he would be happier than all the orders marrying this beauty whom stands before me at the moment. But no, he's is the exact opposite.
And unfortunately, I knew exactly why (and it involved me too).
Sasuke doesn't love Sakura. I know that. He knows it. Hell, even Sakura knows. The only one's here being deceived are the villagers.
So here stands Sakura, in front a tall mirror checking if her butt was too big in her dress.
"Sakura," I sighed, "Haven't you worn did dress before? You know for the fitting? Why are you checking if your butt looks big in it now?"
She looked at me through the mirror and glared. "Now Naruto, a women never knows if they have gained weight around the booty area. Especially after soo much time has passed after I've worn this"
"You had it fit a week ago…"
"That's still a long time!" She turned to look at me and I fell back on my office couch. She wrinkled her nose in disapproval and yelled at me to get up.
"You're going to get your new clothes wrinkled! After I spent so long looking for the perfect thing for you to wear…"
"Sakura, its pretty much the Hokage robes but with a little more…gay." I got up and walked towards the door, ready to prepare my "sermon" for the wedding.
"Gay?! Honey, the clothes don't make you gay." I heard her giggle and, before I closed the door, I said " Shut up and hurry up."
When I arrived at the balcony of the Hokage tower, the guest's of honor were already seated behind the podium. I smiled as Kakashi and Tsunade turned to greet me.
"Nice to see you Naruto" Kakashi said as he stood up to pat my shoulder.
"Looks like you haven't ruined the village yet, brat" Tsunade commented when she hugged for she had been gone for a while (probably gambling) for business (again, gambling).
"Oh Hokage-sama! What wondrous but depressing day today is!" and that was Lee, heartbroken but happy to see his long time love getting married.
"You don't have to call me that, Lee. I'm still Naruto you know"
"But you are the Hokage. It is only right the villagers address you as so." I jumped when I heard his voice behind me. I quickly turned around and threw my arms around him.
"Gaara! I'm glad you could make it…" I grinned at him and he smiled. We were lost in our own world's until the other guest's of honor arrived, which were other teachers and instructors, and greeted me as I did them.
Gaara took a seat next to Lee, who proceeded to yak his ear off, and I waited until all Konoha residents (or whomever wanted to watch the wedding) were seated or in an area where they could see the bride and groom.
Of course many of the Konoha ninja's took seats in trees and roofs but it didn't bother me in the least.
When I stood at the podium and raised a hand in the air, the entire village silence (God, I love being Hokage) and I cleared my throat.
"People of Konoha," Yeah I'm going to bull shit my way through this…, "we are gathered here today to witness a bond in matrimony" am I saying this right? Aw, who cares, I'm hokage.
"Here to be wed today, under the law of Konoha is one Uchiha Sasuke to Haruno Sakura…" I should have rehearsed or memorized what I had to say.
When I said his name, Sasuke stepped onto the balcony, everyone stood and bowed, and walked to the front of the podium. I smiled and put my hand on his shoulder he didn't even bother looking me in the face and he shrugged my hand off.
I just continued with my sermon.
"Uchiha Sasuke everyone! Everyone give the groom a round of applause for one of the happiest day's of his life!" Everyone cheered and few catcalls could be heard here and there. This only seems to anger Sasuke more. I whispered for him to lighten up and when the crowd quieted down, I said " Cue the music!"
"Here comes the bride" was played by the Konoha elementary band and Sakura came out, her arm hooked around her father's, and Ino holding the end of her dress. This was no traditional wedding mind you.
With me being Hokage, this wedding will be anything but normal. You know, the way I like it.
When Sakura came to stand beside Sasuke, I began finishing the rest of my sermon, rings were placed on each other's fingers, and the question to finally determine Sasuke's fate was aksed.
"Will you Sasuke take Sakura to be you're wife?"
Sasuke was staring at the ground and I received no answer.
"To spend the rest of your life with?" no answer, "To cherish and love?" again, nothing.
The last bit I whispered him.
"To be loyal and truthful to? To forget al past loves, even me?"
He looked up at me surprised and he slightly shook his head. I nodded and whispered "This was your choice. You're too deep into it to back down." The crowd began to get a little fidgety, "Please, forget about me. If you can't…at least revive your clan."
With his original motive stated, he snapped out of his daze and looked Sakura straight in the eye.
"I do, only for the good of the clan."
Sighing, I shook my head. There was a bit of an uproar in the audience and even the guests of honor looked disapproving. I quieted the crowd and turned to Sakura who didn't look the least bit phased by this.
"Sakura…do you take this bastard to be your husband?"
She smiled and said "I do" without a trace of doubt in her voice.
"Are you sure…?" I asked.
"Yes, I am."
"Well then, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Sasuke you may kiss the bride."
Sasuke gave Sakura a peck in the cheek, though I'm sure she was expecting more, and wham, Sasuke was a married man.
The Crowd cheered and threw flowers at the happy couple as they waved while they walked down from the balcony to the after party. I'm sure Sasuke wasn't going to be attending that.
He was married and all he cared about at the moment was getting Sakura pregnant and continuing his clan's legacy.
At the moment, I was really hoping Sakura's plan would work.
After I mingled with the guest's and got into more comfortable clothing, (by now it was late afternoon) I met up with Gaara who was waiting for me in my office.
"So, the Uchiha's finally married…" He began as I sat next to him on the couch and leaned against him.
"Yeah…doesn't seem too happy though…"
"How do you feel about that?"
"Not too happy…" I frowned, "Sakura deserves better…" I sighed and he wrapped his arm around me.
"It was his choice, don't worry about it. I'm sure Haruno-san will have Uchiha wrapped around her pinky in no time…"
I laughed, "I hope so. That boy needs to be whipped"
He chuckled and kissed me. We stayed like that for awhile until we decided we should join the rest of Konoha
Yeah I took long time….yes that makes me a horrible person…
And yes I do have the final chapter is the next one…
I'll have it out by the end of this week hopefully.
For now I'll put up a one shot of sasunaru friendship! (and maybe it's sequel).
sorry for any mistakes...i got lazy with editing...
