PART 3
It was the day of Naruto and Sakura's wedding. Everyone was whispering in excitement.
The priest held a book in his hand, and was announcing the oaths. After the "I do"s were done, and the kiss was to come, Naruto swept Sakura into his arms dramatically, and kissed her passionately.
In the audience, Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto was so dramatic. Hinata giggled silently.
On a long table, exquisite food laid. Everyone held a glass of champagne and were toasting the newly weds. The two never looked happier as everyone congratulated them.
Naruto stood up on a chair and cried, "Thank you everyone! I owe it most to Tsunade-obaachan, my teachers, my friends especially Sasuke! Even though he looks like the emo person he is, he was there for me!"
Everyone raised their glasses to the toast. Sasuke wore the annoyed expression on his face, but it disappeared when everyone slammed their hands against his back.
Music started playing, and everyone began dancing. Sakura began chugging down wine, with everyone chanting.
Hinata was asked to compete with Ino in a drinking contest, but she refused to. Sasuke, however, began drinking a lot.
Tsunade had gotten pretty drunk, and was laughing pretty hard.
The music changed to "Girlfriend" and Sakura and Ino jumped onto a table and started singing to the song.
Kakashi was reading a book in some isolated area. Everyone was surprised to see him in a tuxedo, although he still wore his mask and headband.
Shikamaru and Temari were dancing when the music got changed to "Come Clean."
Hinata held a hand to her face, and felt strange. She didn't know how to explain. It was an aching feeling. She stumbled to the door of the church. She disappeared behind the doorway, and nobody seemed to notice.
Sasuke won his drinking contest against Narut. He felt a little light headed and looked around for Hinata. Where could she be?
He strided over to Tenten who was pulling Lee away from the table of sake and wine.
"Have you seen Hinata?"
Tenten seemed little distracted as she said, "No, sorry. She could be in the restroom."
Sasuke walked into the church, to look for Hinata. He found her laying on a bench. He ran over to her side, and saw that her eyes were closed. He placed a hand over her forehead. She's burning up! How? She didn't drink!
Suddenly, Hinata's eyes snapped open in fear, but then softened they softened when she saw Sasuke.
Sasuke held her hand tightly, "What happened?"
"I don't know. I was feeling strange. But I'm alright now." she said hurriedly. She tried to sit up, but Sasuke pushed her back down. He felt she was hiding something.
"What are you hiding?!" he said harshly.
Hinata was surprised at the harshness of his voice, and replied shakily, "I-I feel as if something is eating me away. I feel another presence, it's so familiar, but I don't know why. And then I dreamed of so much darkness."
Sasuke pulled her up into his arms, and felt her forehead. It wasn't burning up anymore, but still, why was she shaking so much.
"Come on, let's get back to the party." He staggered a little, and hoped that Hinata didn't notice.
Unfortunately, she did.
"How much did you drink?" she asked suspiciously.
"Umm, well..not much." At her accusing look, he submitted. "Ok,ok, 2 bottles of sake."
An irritated face glared at him.
He said quickly, "Hey, I'm not that drunk. I can hold up to 4 bottles, and still be sober!"
Her face softened two inches. "Well, it's a special occasion I guess."
Sasuke smiled, and kissed her lightly. They walked out of the church, Hinata trying to forget the terrible feeling she had earlier.
Somehow, she felt that there were traces of that feeling somewhere. It felt tainted with pain and evil.
When they returned to the party, they saw that nothing had changed. The moment Sakura saw Hinata, she pulled Hinata and threw a microphone into her hands. Hinata looked at Sakura confused, and Sakura whispered something in her ear.
A horrified look crossed Hinata's face, and she shook her head. But Sakura insisted. She cried, "Who wants to hear Hinata sing??!!!"
Everyone froze, and then there was a loud cheering. Nobody had heard her sing before. Sasuke had heard her sing before. Except the moment she saw him listening, she clamped her mouth shut. And he only heard 2 words.
Hinata was blushing, and tried to give the microphone back to Sakura, but Sakura wouldn't take it.
Finally, Hinata gave in. She opened her mouth, and began singing, shyly at first. But she grew more confident, and closed her eyes.
Everyone was dumbstruck. Her voice was so angelic, and even Sasuke was surprised.
I'll give you everything I am.
Everything I want to be.
I'll put it in your hands
You could open up to me.
Can't we ever get behind this wall?
Cause all I want
Is just once
To see you in the light.
But you hide behind
The color of the night.
The song ended, and Hinata opened her eyes. Her pale eyes peered behind her eyelids, and she saw that everyone was frozen.
"Oh my god, Hinata. Your voice…it's so…beautiful." Sakura stammered.
Hinata blushed and a cheer erupted from the audience. But they couldn't finish.
Because there was a loud boom, and everything was on fire.
