Chapter 20- Husband and Wife
Sakura eagerly woke up early that day. It was the day of her wedding to Sasuke. The day that she fought for. It was finally happening. Sakura skipped on her shower and threw some clothes on. She pecked Sasuke goodbye in his sleep. Sakura bolted out the door. She was on her way to Ino's apartment. To get ready.
Sakura stood outside Ino's apartment. She knocked nicely.
"Ino? Are you there?" asked Sakura.
No response.
Sakura knocked on the door again. Still no response. Sakura was done with being nice.
Pound! Pound! Pound! Sakura did the cop knock on Ino's door. No response.
"INO! YOU ARE THE MAID OF HONOR! IF YOU DON'T HELP ME WITH MY WEDDING, I'LL KILL YOU!" screamed Sakura. She already knew that she was going to be the bride from hell. God help them all.
"I'm here. I'm here woman," said Ino.
"Alright then, let me in," said Sakura.
Sakura heard a click, and Ino opened the door. In a nightie. Sakura's mouth dropped.
"Are you going to just stand there Sakura? We have to get ready for a wedding!" said Ino.
"Uh, Ino…Did you and Shikamaru move in together?" asked Sakura. She was so oblivious. They have been together longer then Sasuke and Sakura have been engaged. Maybe that wasn't a good comparison.
"Oh, this?" Ino motioned to her nightie. "No, no. Shikamaru spent the night. But I sent him away about an hour ago. Come on in. We have to get all dolled up," said Ino.
Sakura walked into Ino's apartment, and thanked the heavens that she wasn't her roommate. She was a slob. Sakura knew that the apartment would never get clean if Shikamaru was around too. Swallowing the last breath of fresh air; Sakura dared to step into the apartment.
It took the total of three hours, a bubble fight, a fried curling iron, and very very messy bathroom. When Ino and Sakura emerged from the bathroom, they were gorgeous. Natural make up always flattered better.
Ino got into her dress before she helped Sakura into hers. Ino's dress was a deep purple and form fitting. She had matching shoes. Oh, Ino loved her shoes. Once Ino had her outfit on; she rushed to help Sakura.
Sakura wasn't having any problems. She glided her dress on like a pro. If she could get the dress on by herself at the dress shop; then she can do it again. As Sakura was finishing tying the halter top up; Ino stepped into the room.
"Sakura. You look stunning," said Ino. Sakura was absolutely beautiful.
"Thanks Ino," said Sakura.
"We should get going soon," offered Ino. "Wedding starts at five."
"Okay," agreed Sakura.
They made their way to the wedding. When Ino and Sakura actually got the wedding. It was ten minutes before it would start. Ino got a little distracted with shopping. Sakura had to drag her out the shops. They went to the room where brides go. Where no one would see them. Sakura was train wreck. Nerves and panic kicked in. Big time.
"Sakura, just breath! You have wanted this since childhood!" exclaimed Ino.
"It's time," said Tsunade.
Sakura watched as the little flower girl and ring bearer making their way down the dark purple aisle. The little girl was throwing irises. Sakura's favorite flower. Sasuke knew. He knew how to make a wedding perfect. Perfect planning.
Now Ino waved at Sakura when she left walking down the aisle. It was only Sakura left. Kakashi was going to walk Sakura down the aisle; since her parents died on a mission. Sakura knew this wedding was perfect but she couldn't hide her nerves.
"Sakura," said Kakashi.
"Yes?" replied Sakura.
"I am proud of you," said Kakashi. Sakura was about to cry. It was a very emotional time for her. Kakashi just had to say the something that put the icing on the cake. Sakura sniffed. She would cry after the wedding. Damn it!
The music started. It was time. Time for happiness. Time for her dreams to come true. Kakashi led her down.
The guests were dazzled. They were dumb-struck. Sakura was beautiful. They all looked at her. Tenten nodded her head at Sakura. Neji was nowhere to be found. Naruto was balling on Hinata's shoulder; she had the little baby with her.
Sasuke's mouth dropped. The calm collected Sasuke had such a comedic facial expression; Sakura laughed a little. Sakura smiled at him. He smiled back. It was the happiest day of their lives.
When Sakura reached the end of the aisle, Kakashi gave her a peck on the cheek and whispered,
"Be happy."
Sakura smiled at Kakashi and nodded. She will be happy.
Sasuke gave her his hand to help her up the stairs. She was absolutely radiant.
"We are gathered here today to wed this woman and this man together today,' said Tsunade. " If anyone objects, get out now."
Nobody left. No one would want to miss the marriage of the century. It would make the history books.
"Sasuke Uchiha, I want you to repeat after me," said Tsunade.
Sasuke nodded his head.
"I, Sasuke Uchiha…" said Tsunade. "Take you, Sakura Haruno, to be my beloved."
Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hands and he looked into her eyes. "I, Sasuke Uchiha, Take you, Sakura Haruno, to be my beloved," said Sasuke.
"To have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side through sorrow and through joy," said Tsunade. "In the good times and in the bad, to love and cherish you always."
"To have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side through sorrow and through joy. In the good times and in the bad, to love and cherish you always," said Sasuke.
"I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life," said Tsunade.
Sasuke looked her eyes at this last part. He meant every word. "I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life," said Sasuke.
Sakura wanted to cry. The vows were beautiful. She wouldn't cry she wouldn't; Sakura was determined to cry after the wedding. It was Sakura's turn to do the vows. Sakura didn't need Tsunade to relay it for her.
"I, Sakura Haruno, Take you, Sasuke Uchiha, To be my beloved. To have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life," said Sakura.
It was time for exchanging of the rings. Sasuke gave Sakura a silver band. Sakura gave Sasuke a thick silver band with three onyx stones.
"With the exchanging of the rings. If there is anyone in this room that objects to this holy bond. Speak now or forever hold your peace," said Tsunade.
The room was quiet.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," said Tsunade with a smile. She was happy that her student was going to be happy.
Sakura beamed. It was done. Happiness was achieved. Sasuke grabbed her, and gave her the first kiss of being Mrs. Uchiha. The kiss was mind blowing, heart stopping. Sakura knew her heart exploded right then.
The people cheered. Happy that this couple was together. Finally. Sasuke and Sakura walked down the aisle. People giving their congratulations and good wishing. Naruto was still crying. Tsunade started to cry even though she wedded them. Kakashi was happy. His two students were finally together. He thought it took Sasuke long enough to realize it.
Sasuke wasn't going to wait anymore. He wanted to make her his in all ways. He took off running, dragging her out of the hall. Down the street. He picked her up and carried her up the stairs in order to reach their apartment. He kicked the door open and stepped inside. Then he sat Sakura down. Gave her a kiss, and he closed the door and locked it. No one was going to interrupt or he would kill them.
