Thanks to Hikari no Okami for making this text readable
Blue Butterfly
She leaned on the edge of the window and stared into the dark blue night, watching how the light of the moon bathed the gardens. The nervousness was killing her; only in her wildest dreams had she considered this scenario. At that same hour the next day she would no longer be Hyuuga Hinata, but Uzumaki Hinata, head of the Hyuuga clan, and wife of Uzumaki Naruto. Gods! She had dreamed of this since the academy! And now she was having second thoughts!
She was leaning in the edge of the window when something called her attention
"You know?" she asked suddenly to the darkness of night "it does not matter if you are able to render yourself invisible even to the Byakugan, an amazing jutsu let me tell you that, it helped me a lot in the fight with Hanabi-chan; however I can still see your echoes sweetheart"
"What?! That's not fair!" the loud voice of Naruto filled the quiet room "Wait, wait! How can you see my echoes if you don't even have your Byakugan activated?" said the blond appearing slowly next to Hinata
"He, he, I have it activated, but I use a Genjutsu to cover the tale tell veins around my eyes, it helps me as a training for both the Genjutsu and the Byakugan" she explained with a smile
"Wow, that's amazing, and it's a very good Genjutsu also! Almost as good as Tsunade-obaa-chan's!"
Hinata blushed a little at the praise "Th-thank you N-naruto-kun"
"Why did you stutter? You haven't done that for a very long time, what's wrong?"
"N-n-nothing" damn I did it again
"Ok what is it?" Hinata looked away and then send him a look that he translated perfectly "You are nervous? Why? Don't you want to…marry me?" he finished with a tone of terror in his voice
"NO! It's not that!" she quickly negated
"Then?"
"It's just that, well, marriage is such a HUGE step! I'm not sure if I'm ready for it…don't get me wrong I love the idea of being your…(blush and playing fingers)…wife (deeper blush) yet! As if that wasn't enough there'll also be the responsibilities of the clan! For god's sake I'll be the younger head in over a century!"
"Hey, easy Hina-chan, don't worry about it, at least not yet. Once we get to that part we will solve it, one step at a time ok? There's nothing we can't solve together!"
"I wish I could be that confident all the time, you never seem to have any doubt, you are…fearless"
"That's not true!" protested Naruto "I live dying of fear dattebayo"
"Sorry?"
"There's the fear of being rejected if someone would get to discover about my prisoner, also the fear of losing Sasuke to Orochimaru, and the thing that scares me the most, losing you, my dear, and lovely Hina-chan"
"Don't worry sweetheart, I'll be here, always, always, and always" she said in a motherly voice resting her head his chest
"I know, but I can't help to think that I wouldn't be able to live anymore if something happened to you"
They stayed in silence
"Eto, sweetheart? Not that I dislike your presence here, but, why did you come?"
"Uh? Oh right! Almost forgot it!" said the blond taking a little blue box from his pocket and putting it in the hands of the blue haired girl "this arrived to my house a few hours ago, I had it delivered all the way from Wave Country, I know a master artist for this sort of things"
Hinata pulled herself back, separating a little from her boyfriend; she gave the box a good look "What's this?"
"A box!" he said with a toothy smile as if that were the ultimate knowledge of the world
Amused by the comment, the white eyed lass laughed nicely "I know that silly!" she said playfully "but I want to know what it contents"
"Then why don't you open it?"
And thus, holding the box in one hand Hinata used the other to open the small box. Inside, she found a gorgeous ring made out of white gold that was crowned with a brilliant purplish jewel. She was speechless
"You can't have a wedding without an engagement ring, right?" asked the orange wearing shinobi softly "Do you like it?"
"I do!" she squeaked jumping to the man in front of her giving him a passionate kiss, after several second they broke it. The blond leaned forward and rested his forehead with care on hers
"Hey, you are not suppose to say that 'till tomorrow"
"He, he, my silly Naruto-kun. Say would you like to put me the ring?"
"Sure" He took the ring from the box and the soft hand of his girlfriend, and put the ring delicately on her finger
"It's lovely!" she said with shinning eyes
"Yeah! And it's very special too! The gem in it is a fragment of this necklace" said naruto taking the necklace out
"The one that the fifth gave you!?" she asked after seeing the adornment. She understood a little more the value of the ring. It could be worth millions
"Yeah, she said it was of an ultra rare material, very valuable, and that it was property of the first Hokage once"
Ok, maybe billions would be more accurate "That's really amazing, but it's not the material, the cost, or the history of it what makes it special"
"No? Then what?"
"What makes it special is the fact that you gave in to me"
"Hyuuga Hinata, you will never change, dattebayo"
"Hyuuga Hinata" repeated the girl "that part of me will change"
"Will you miss it? The 'Hyuuga' part in your name?"
"Well, yep, I suppose I will. But I have to admit I like the sound of Uzumaki Hinata"
"Talking about Uzumakis, did the photographs arrive?"
"Yes, Sora-neechan send me a hawk, they are in my father's office"
"You mean YOUR office"
"Eh, right, sorry still not used to this"
They walked out of the room and into the moonlighted hall, going to the office that was very close to Hinata's new room, as she had also moved to the master bedroom of the mansion.
They entered the office and Hinata turned the lights on. It was completely reconstructed, and now showed paintings of all the previous clan heads on the walls, and behind the desk there rested the image of Hiashi. They advanced to the desk.
"I like the new decoration" said Naruto
"It was idea of my sister and the council liked it; however, every time I enter I feel that they are all watching my actions"
"Hum, now I understand where all the 'being nervous' stuff came from, dattebayo. But I think Hanabi-chan didn't made it with that intention, I feel that it's more like the Hokage Monument, their images are there not because they judge our actions, but to watch over us, and is also as a way to honor and remember them"
"I guess you are right, I had never though of it like that"
When they reached the desk, a letter rested over it
Dear Hinata and Naruto:
I was so glad when we received the note of your wedding, sadly we won't be able to reach Konoha in time for it. However Yasu, Miki, and I are parting now and will be there a few days after the wedding. We send you our most deep congratulations.
With love SoraP.D. Along the photograph you asked for, I'm sending something else with the hawk: a hair brooch that was Nanashi's. It can both function as something blue and something old for Hinata, and a special bottle of whine, but that one is for you to drink it after the party when you are alone in your room ok? And no cheating (that's for you brother). Good Luck.
And a pair of large pictures was near the desk against the wall
"A hair brooch, from my mom?" asked the boy
"Yes, it's a very beautiful one" the kunoichi explained taking it out from the drawer of the desk
It was a stunningly beautiful blue butterfly, made out of silver and sapphire that shinned lightly on the light
"And also came this bottle" finished the girl taking out a blue-green crystal bottle filled with liquid
"It smells nice, let's take a drink of it!"
"No, she said that we had to drink it after tomorrow's party; no sooner, and no later and I intent to stick to it"
"Oh, come on Hina-chan, just a slip!"
"She even says specifically to you 'no'; can't you wait till tomorrow night my love?"
"Jeez, ok I will wait" he released a sigh "Anyway, I need to go leave this pictures in the temple, so I better get going or they will close and I won't have the time to do it tomorrow"
The boy picked the pictures up, gave a kiss to his girlfriend and jumped out of the window, into the nigh. Hinata was left into the office and saw the figure of the blond man shrinking in the horizon. When he was outside his range of vision she went to sleep.
…
Naruto had delivered the photographs at the temple and was walking in the street. Not a soul was to be found in the area. But Naruto knew better. He was being followed, and they were many, even considering how his power had improved after the training he was no match for such a number, at least not without Hina-chan there. His best chance was to flee.
He jumped to the nearest rooftop, and ran as swiftly as his legs allowed him. But his way was stopped by a tall man in a coat, which charged against him. Yet the blond evaded easily jumping above the man. Using the opportunity he tried to ran way but was yet again to be interrupted, this time by a slim man, that appeared out of nowhere with a blinding speed and a whirlwind of leafs. Naruto was forced to leave the roof where those men were, landing back on the street
"I was wondering when you would come after me, I see you have also become stronger since the last time we fought. Even if the last time I was a weakling, now I'm more powerful. Thus you will have to excuse me if I don't go quietly"
Suddenly a large man came out of the ground and grappled the blond from behind. However, using the large mass of the man Naruto bended forward and released from the lock, tossing him to the ground.
But the blond had no time to feel relieved because immediately after he liberated himself from his attacker, a large beast crushed him to the ground, its large paws holding him; its sharp fangs near his face dangerously menaced the shinobi.
The blond yelled "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" and two more selves came to his aid, removing the large animal from above him. "You are lucky Hinata isn't here with me, or we would kick your ass in a snap!" he said incorporating
"Is that your excuse? That your girl is not here? Ha, ha, you can't against all of us, even if she was here the result would be the same!" said the master of the animal who had also joined the group now.
Naruto prepared to continue, but when he tried to move, his muscles failed him. He had forgotten about their leader, now he was trapped in his jutsu. And to make things worst a man with long brown hair attacked him from the front, his attack making him unable to tap into his chakra. Naruto could barely walk now. He knew he now had no choice but to do what they wanted.
"Uzumaki Naruto" said the leader "You are coming with us"
…
Next morning the Hyuuga compound was pandemonium. Early in the morning a caravan of girls had arrived with tons of makeup, dresses, accessories and other stuff. All the morning anyone could see Hinata running, in different stages of preparation, with Sakura, Ino, and Tenten running behind her, each one holding a different makeup, or hair brush, or jewelry or pair of shoes each time.
It was passed eleven in the morning and after more than four hours, all of the girls had finished getting ready and putting make up on. In the master bedroom Sakura and Hinata were finishing the last touches.
"Ok, let's check up the list ok?" asked the pink haired
"R-right" Hinata was a boiling cauldron of nervousness
"Something old?"
"My mother's wedding dress"
Hinata was wearing a gorgeous white dress with flowers and pearls on bottoms, and brilliants and lace in the top. The dress remarked her wrist and her breast. These last had a size that made Sakura very jealous. (Okami's note to Tohru: pervert ¬¬)
"Ok, next, something new?"
"My shoes"
Her shoes were white with an inch and a half heel with a small silver buckle that finished rounded
"Alright, something borrowed?"
"Eto…" Hinata blushed "…ano"
"You got something borrowed right?"
"Y-yes I did"
"well, what's is it?"
"Under…wear" the blush deepened
"Underwear? Who you asked for underwear?"
"I didn't ask for it! She offered them, she said Naruto would like it" the blush became deeper to an impossible red
"Who gave it to you?" asked a now also blushing Sakura
"I-Ino"
"What?! Well I kinda understand that she's the only one that could lend you a bra…"
"Yeah, but I think that it is a little tight…"
"Hmmmm" now Sakura was getting really jealous
"Fine. Last point in the list, something blue?"
"Naruto's mother hair brooch"
Her hair was raised in such way that it resembled her looks of her younger days, when she used it short. Topping the arrangement it was the beautiful blue butterfly, which sparkled in blue surrounding her head
"Well, now, don't be nervous…hell, girl you just can't be not nervous, but breath ok? Everything will be fine"
"O-ok if y-you say so…"
There was a knock at the door
"Hinata?" it was Tenten "they have come to pick us up, Ino and Hanabi are already there"
"Hai, we are coming!"
That was the last time she would be there as Hyuuga Hinata
…
The ceremony was to be held in a temple in the outskirts of Konoha, close to the Fire Country capital. It was a beautiful building with adornments in precious woods and metals, and a large garden in the back where the party was to be held afterwards.
A large group of people were already there. Most of the guests and the people that were organizing the ceremony: some representatives of the Hyuuga clan along the fifth Hokage, Shizune, and Jiraiya were the honor guests. In the semi-empty interior of the temple, sitting on the front, were the young shinobi that considered themselves close friends to the couple: team nine and ten, along with team Gai and the just graduated team Ebisu. Beside the Hokage was the master teacher of the academy, Iruka sensei, representing the place of the teachers of the groom and also taking a special place as a fosterfather for him. It was a small ceremony, but the temple was fully adorned with red, blue, and golden ribbons, and between the benches there were flower arrangements above golden pedestals.
The girls were wearing pink dresses with violet roses, while the boys were using tuxedos.
On the side of the altar rested two large photographs, the first showed a young man with spiky blond hair and lightning blue eyes, and a woman with long brown hair; the other picture showed a man in his late twenties with brown hair and white eyes, with a shoulder length blue haired woman.
A certain blond was waiting with the priest at the altar; he was wearing a normal black tuxedo that contrasted with a bright orange necktie.
Suddenly silence reigned and in the door of the temple appeared a beautiful Hinata, holding a bouquet of white roses and lilacs; Neji was at her side, the tail was being carried by Hanabi and Moegi. The nuptial march sounded in the temple.
Naruto was left with his mouth on the floor at the sight of Hinata. Neji took Hinata all the way to her groom, and delivered her in the altar before taking his place near Tenten.
"You look freaking awesome" whispered Naruto
Hinata giggled "You look handsome too" she whispered back "what's with the orange necktie?"
"I suppose I feel weird when not wearing something orange"
…
They advanced without much trouble, Tenten was the lasso maid, Ino the maid of the dowry, and Sakura was the maid of the rings, finally reaching the climax of it
"Uzumaki Naruto, do you take this woman, Hyuuga Hinata, as your loving wife, in wealth and poverty, in health or illness until death tears you apart?"
"I do dattebayo!"
"And you Hyuuga Hinata, take this man, Uzumaki Naruto, as your loving husband, in wealth and poverty, in health or illness until death tear you apart?"
"I do"
"Thus, by the power given to me by the Fire Country, I name you husband and wife. Boy, you may now kiss the bride" finished the old priest with a warm smile
Naruto removed the veil and slowly gave Hinata a caring kiss as everyone else in the temple cheered and applauded
…
Once the ceremony finished they all went to the garden, where beautiful fountains were adorning the place. After they ate a midday meal, a microphone was given to whoever wanted to say a few words to the happy new wed.
The first one was Sakura "Well, first of all, congratulations to both of you!" said the pink haired "it was a big surprise when we knew you two were dating each other, and a relief also. I mean, Naruto it took you ages to notice her! Anyway you are married now, and although a lot of stuff will come out, I'm sure you will be able to get over all of them, and we will be supporting you! Oh and Naruto, you better make her happy or I'll kill you"
Sakura finished and the microphone was snatched by Ino "Let me show you how this is done, forehead girl" the blond cleaned her throat "WAY TO GO GIRL! I totally knew you would get him to notice you, it's kinda sad that it was later rather than sooner but everything will be ok now, right? Oh and Naruto, let me tell you that you got a great wife! Way better than Sakura, I mean how you could ever be attracted to that! Of course no one is better than me, but you never had a chance to land it with me! Anyway, way to go, have a lot of children, and be happy ok?"
"Cha, Is that better? Ino-pig got nothing!" Inner Sakura was laughing
Neji was the next to speak, his forehead was reveled and free of the seal "Naruto, Hinata-sama, my most sincere congratulations, I wish you both the best. Naruto, I just wanted to thank you for keeping your promise, I am eager to see what you will do once you are Hokage, especially with such a woman at your side. Hinata-sama, your husband is a great man"
When he finished Neji gave the microphone to Tenten "Wow, I'm sure more than no one can believe this is actually happening, not just because Hinata and Naruto got married, but because the shiest girl of all of us was the first one to land a boy! No, now, seriously, congratulations. I'm sure you will be very, very happy together, best of lucks"
"NARUTO-KUN! HINATA-CHAN!" it was Lee who, with his blinding speed, had taken possession of the microphone "YOUR FIRES OF YOUTH FILL THIS VERY GARDEN AND IMPREGNATE US WITH THE AURA OF LOVE THAT SURROUND YOU! BOTH ARE THE TORCH THAT GUIDES IN THE DARKNESS THE LONELY SOULS OF-"
"Yeah, thanks for that" interrupted Kiba taking the microphone "so…you guys finally got married, I've to admit I'm surprised you could get yourself a girl at all, so this is kinda shocky and all that. Hey blondie, one warning, you make Hinata-chan cry just once and will kick your ass to last year, ok?"
"What Kiba means" explained Shino taking the microphone "is that Hinata is a valuable friend to us, and that we appreciate and deeply care for her, thus, we hope for you to make her happy, and I'm sure you won't disappoint us in that"
A smoke cloud appeared and Jirayja was now holding the microphone "UUURRREEE! Feh, Naruto married uh? Well I have to say that I'm no less surprised than the rest of the presents, you know? Who would say someone could love that hard head of yours? Poor girl indeed…hummm my girl I have to admit that you have a hot body! If you ever get bored of the blond you can always come to m-"
Tsunade smashed her punch in Jirayja's head and took the microphone from his unconscious hand "Well, well, here we are, when I sent you to work with Sora I was hoping for you to come back closer to each other, but it has to be said that not even in my wildest dreams had I considered that you two would marry; and that's not bad at all, it gives us a place for happiness and relaxation, however I'm afraid I'll have to ask you all to go get some sleep, 'cause I'm probably calling you tomorrow morning for a mission. My apologies for the new weds, but I'm sure that you are also eager to finish so you can have sometime alone"
Naruto stood up, and took the microphone, the sun was already setting "alright everyone thanks a lot for coming, but you heard Obaa-chan and you all know what she's capable of when she's angry. Just take a look at ero-sennin, so let's not push her ok? I just have one comment to add, why you all menaced me with killing me? You seriously think I'm going to make Hina-chan cry dattebayo?"
…
Two hours later, the Uzumakis were in their bedroom in the Hyuuga mansion, the moon was already reigning in the sky
"Wah, I'm exausted! Last night the boys kidnapped me and make me a party, got only a few hours of sleep" said the blond letting himself fall in the bed
"Oh yeah, the girls also had one for me, but it was the same day the council approved our marriage, they said at it was the best moment to have it" answered Hinata from the barthroom
"It was a nice day isn't it, Mrs. Uzumaki?"
"Yep, it was very nice" said Hinata coming out of the bathroom wearing a nightshirt "it was lovely, and the food was delicious"
"Yeah…hey! Now that I remember, can we check out that wine Onee-san sent us?"
"He, he, he you were waiting all night to see what it is right?"
"Yeah"
"He, he, I suppose it's ok now" Hinata took the bottle from his night table and read the label, she blushed madly when the word 'aphrodisiac' appeared in her reading. Naruto took the bottle and also blushed a little but said
"Well, it's our wedding night after all, right?"
Hinata only nodded
…
Next morning, a large group of shinobi was reunited in front of the Hokage. Of the group which used to be known as the rookie nine and team Gai, now called Leaf's Front, only the Uzumakis were missing. Tsunade had decided to give them vacations for their honeymoon.
"Well, team" said the slug-sannin "we are going to the war"
That's it for today! in the next chapter we will see the result of the hard training along this years for our favorite couple and their friends. We will also see why Gaara and his siblings didn't asisted the wedding
