Chapter 3: My New Spouse

The sun had just risen and four sleeping bodies were sprawled across a hotel room. Tenten, whose hair looked like a mess from the crazy night last night, had fallen over Neji's chest as they both laid on the floor in a peaceful sleep. Shikamaru and Ino were the lucky two that actually made it to the bed. Ino's head rested on the pillow near the foot of the bed while Shikamaru rested his head on her stomach.

"Mmm…" The feminine groan was heard as she and the others began to wake up. "What happened last night, my head is pounding?"

"That's what happens when you drink too much."

"Oh shut up Shika!" Came the angry retort from his sister who immediately regretted her outburst.

A ring sparkled on her left hand in the early beams of light which caused her to jump in astonishment and run over to her partially awake blonde companion.

"Ino, why are we wearing wedding bands?"

"What are you talking about Tennie?"

"Look at your hand."

Ino looked down only to be astounded by the sparkling diamond on her ring finger. Her next immediate reaction was to look towards the man that she remembered spending the most time with the previous night.

"Did we…" Ino cut herself short at the idea but it was in vain as Tenten finished her unspoken thought. "get married? I think we did."

Tenten's gaze travelled back over to Neji and noticed two papers on the nearby table. She instantly made her way over to the table only to find what she was dreading.

"What are they?" Tenten looked down at Neji who had just spoken and then to her brother and the blonde. "Marriage certificates. Our marriage certificates."

He was comfy and warm. He had awoken hours ago but found more entertainment in staying in bed and watching his new wife sleep. Her raven locks were a bit tousled and her neck a bit bruised with the love bites that he had given her last night. Her body was pressed against his for warmth and he was content in staying with her until she opened her eyes to reveal the lilac orbs that he had always secretly loved.

"Naruto…" Came her gentle voice as her eyes strained to open up from their blissful sleep. Her body ached with pains she had never felt before but an overwhelming joy still radiated from her. "What is it Hinata?"

"I love you." She spoke in the most delicate of voices as her eyes seemed to overflow in the love that she was proclaiming. "I love you too, forever and always."

"What will they say?"

"Who?" He asked, as the confusion he felt was layered into his voice. "The others, our friends, your sister, my cousin, what will they think?"

"I think that they'll be happy for us and that Neji will come around after throwing a few punches at me…but if I know them as well as I think I know them, they'll probably have gotten into their own little mess, so much so that they won't care so much about our eloping."

"Do you have any regrets?" She was scared of what he might say but was prepared for whatever words he spoke. "Only that our family and friends couldn't be there to see one of the happiest moments in our lives, but I'll never regret marrying you."

Pleased with his reply, she rested her head on his chest and basked in the morning glow.

His head felt as if it had been trampled on by elephants and his body felt a bit achy to boot. The clock on the bedside table was blinking 12:00pm in bright red. He closed his eyes once again and pulled the warm fleshy object that was in his arms closer to him, causing the object to moan in opposition. This caused Sasuke to reopen his eyes as he was met with a face full of pink.

"Oh no." He lifted up the covers slightly and his face began to grow red with mixtures of embarrassment and horror. "Oh no."

Jade eyes met onyx as both stared at the other in alarm. She raised her left hand into view, only to look down at two diamonds with a ruby embedded in the middle of the two on a black hills gold ring…wedding ring. Sasuke's eyes travelled from the ring to the piece of paper that he picked up off the bedside table.

"We're…married."

After Sasuke spoke, all was quiet. Sakura was scared out of her mind at the possibilities of what had happened last night to cause such drastic changes. It wasn't until an hour later that she realized that she wasn't dressed.

"Oh no." Her hand came up to cover her mouth as she looked back to the onyx eyes of her new 'husband'. "That's what I said."

"We didn't…" Came her denial as she tried to think through everything logically. "No, we did."
