Switched

Chapter Ten – Wedding Crashes

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the other non OC's in this story.

Summery: What if the royal son and a peasant girl are "accidentally" switched at birth? And what if they eventually fell in love? AU.

Sakura lay the tiara on the top of her head, fitting it in her pink hair perfectly. She sighed, staring into the mirror. Mikoto zipped up the back of her white, corset-style dress with a baby blue sash around her waist. Her mother lowered the sky blue veil over her face and pinned it to the sparkling tiara.

"Mother." Sakura whispered, raising her fingers to the veil and stroking the lace.

"Yes, Sakura-chan?" Mikoto asked, messaging her shoulders.

"I don't want to marry Hanto. I don't love him."

Mikoto sighed, "Let me tell you a secret, Sakura," she sat down next to the pink-haired nineteen year old. Sakura looked curious, "Your father and I hated each other when we got married. We eventually came to love each other as close friends, who share children with each other."

"Mother," Sakura whispered, looking down at her lap, "I love Sasuke."

Mikoto blinked at her for a short moment before looking away. Sakura stared at the beautifully craved box on the vanity. She opened it and pulled the jade jewel from its depths.

Sasuke tapped the rusted metal bar with his fingernail. He stared at his best friend, who was sitting against the prison wall, rubbing the back of his head where the guard had hit him. Sasuke waited for his blond friend to start talking. When he didn't, the raven-haired man questioned, "Why did you try to kill Kotuz?" he asked, gripping the bar, "That's not like you, Naruto."

"He tried to kill me!" Naruto grunted, standing up, "Sasuke, there's something you need to know." the blond came up to his friend and they stared at each other seriously, it took him a long time to say something, "Sasuke," he paused, "That bastard was the one who plotted to switch you and Sakura, so that Hanto would marry the Uchiha heir."

Sasuke scowled, "Why would he do that?"

"I have no idea, there was probably more to the plan, but he tried to kill me before I could ask anymore questions!" Naruto told her best friend.

"How could he have had killed you?"

"He has a magical staff."

"But magic has been banned from multiple kingdoms for centuries," Sasuke eyed Naruto with ebony orbs, "Including both Konohas."

"Well, it's obvious this guy doesn't play by the rules," Naruto growled, "He tried murdering me, kidnapped two innocent infants, and uses magic, pure evil, I tell you, PURE! Can you let me out of here so that we can stop them?"

Sasuke sighed and inserted a key into the key hole and opened the cell door to let his friend out. Naruto patted his friend's shoulder in thanks.

"Lets go crash a wedding."

Sakura stood in front of the oak double doors, feeling as if she was going to hurl her entire stomach. She really didn't want to go through with this. She couldn't go through with this. She thought of what Mikoto had said earlier, how she and her father had never loved each other as lovers. She sighed. Over the few weeks, her relationship with Hanto had gone from where she considered him a good friend, to where she was starting to hate him. He had been being a bastard ever since he had kissed her.

Before she knew it, the double doors opened and she slowly walked down the aisle, pass many people she knew, like Princess Tenten. Knights and squires lined the walls, and she noticed both her fathers standing near Hanto. But where was Sasuke? He was supposed to be the best man, so where was he? And Naruto, he was supposed to watch.

Where were her friends? Hinata was there as her only bridesmaid. But it wasn't complete without them.

The priest began the ceremony.

"In this spirit, Sakura and Hanto ask all of you now: do you support their marriage and accept the new partner into your life as family and a friend of your own?"

Sakura's eyes teared up. She heard the 'we do's' echo through the hall. She closed her eyes.

The wooden doors flung open, making a loud bang against the wall. Sakura spun around, her jade necklace hitting her neck. They were standing there. She smiled.

"We don't." Sasuke said, hitting his sword on his shoulder. He and Naruto were both wearing durable leather, as if they were expecting a fight. Naruto slowly turned to to look at Hanto's father, his hair bristled, his birthmarks on his cheeks looked like whiskers, and his eyes had turned red and wild.

Naruto shot forward, all he was an orange and blond blur. The wall broke through, sending large bricks falling to the floor.

Both Naruto and Kotuz had gone through the thick wall. Sakura heard Naruto scream, "What is the rest of your plot to destroy the kingdom?"

Sakura suddenly found herself running past Hanto and the crowd. The crown fell off the top of her head, her dress tore up to her knee, giving her space to run in the tight skirt. Time seemed to slow as she ran toward the huge gap in the wall, she saw Sasuke sprinting through it, jumping over rumble as if they were those barrels that she and Naruto had leaped over months before.

She stood at the entrance of the hole, that lead out into the court yard. Naruto had one knee on the man's chest, clutching his collar so that their noses were almost touching. Sasuke was still running toward them, sword in hand.

"Tell me!" Naruto yelled, spitting in the man's eyes, his knife flying out from inside his sleeve. He pressed it onto the old man's throat.

"Fine," Kotuz croaked, loudly enough for everyone who had filed out into the open sun to hear, "I have hired an assassin to exterminate all the Uchihas after Hanto got married to Sakura-chan. That way, the South royal family would finally have a higher rule then the North ever did!"

"'Cuse me, could you say that louder?" Sasuke grunted, holding up his blade, as if to slice off the old man's head.

"I plan to kill every single Uchiha so that my son will gain power!"

Hanto's laugh of pure ice pierced the air behind Sakura.

Sasuke turned, wide-eyed, as Hanto grabbed her and put a knife to her throat.

Uh oh. We're getting awfully close to the end. Don't worry, they're be a Naruhina squeal to this. Most likely one-shot. It'll also explain why Naruto went magic(kyuubi) on everyone. And yes, Sasusaku0129, Hanto and his whole family are jackasses.
