This is my tribute to Sasuke.
Things to remember:
A) I began writing this in '06, and it is awkward. I have a beta, but I asked them not to change much because I wanted this story to remain as young as possible, so my readers could watch me grow as a writer.
B) I will insert quotes that are relevant to the Uchiha family in between scene changes, so don't ask. You'll find out later.
C) Don't own Naruto, nor would I want to. It's losing my respect, and fast.
D) This is a work of FICTION. So because of this fact, anything I say goes. If I decide Sasuke needs to wake up pregnant and with blond hair, then he will(though I wouldn't do that because I love him). No complaining if something below does not make sense. I will be more than happy to explain my logic if you ask me.
More relevant info to this chapter: Happy late birthday to me! I turned 17 yesterday :). So yeah, this is late. But, honestly, I don't care. I'm not going to set a regular day, though I do aim for Wednesdays, if at all possible. Expect the next, at the latest, two weeks from now. Maybe sooner. Depends on how tomorrow goes. So this is NOT a SasuSaku chapter. It's a bonus. Read on to see why XD. Also, I included a preview for my Kyo Kara Maoh story, which will be up on Friday. You can read it, if you want. If not, I won't be heart broken. My darling sister Charlie thought it was wonderful, and that woman is so hard to please(she refuses to read this) so I guess it's good. Okay, shutting up now.
This chapter is dedicated to:
Ren Isayo(her birthday was the 9th, and I don't want to share myself yet): green hair, brown eyes, the first Uchiha niece; Akina's oldest; in her later years, a mother of two: Yuki II and Kane
Sincerely wishing you all well,
Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius
All of Konohagakure was in the center of the village. Everyone from the Hokage and her spouse, to the local beggar man in front of Ichiruka's. As the town got well and thoroughly drunk off their bottoms, the lantern light twinkled merrily. Small children were running around, 'playing ninja' and observing their drunken parents. The older boys were looking bored, and the older girls gushing.
The occasion, you ask? Why, a wedding of course!
Yes, today was the wedding day of the new Mr. and Mrs. Neji Hyuuga. It was a big occasion because this was the first wedding in the Hyuuga clan in twenty-five years. Even the Kazekage from Sunagakure sent them a wedding basket, which Tenten and her friends were currently going through, along with the other gifts. Neji and the guys were observing behind them, occasionally commenting.
Despite the wedding's lavish appearance, the bride was happy about other things. First and foremost, she was now bond eternally to the love of her life. This had been her dream since about two weeks after they met, and with it fulfillment, she could now breath a sigh of relief and focus on less life changing dreams.
The next happy part of this day were her friends. Her happy friends. Watching Ino and Sakura laugh merrily with Hinata and Yumi, Tenten felt relief. It had been so long since anyone in the village had seen both girls at ease, at the same time. The newlywed was sure that many of the people watching would agree.
"Look at this, Ten!" Sakura exclaimed, lifting up a hand-knitted blanket.
"Aw, its so cute." Yumi commented. Hinata reached out to gently feel it, smiling.
"It's so soft." She breathed in awe. Ino chuckled, feeling as well.
"This will be useful come winter." The blond stated, nodding to herself. Tenten turned when her brother chuckled beside her.
"It will be." Haku agreed, shooting Tenten a mischievous wink. Blushing, the bride looked down at the ground as her friends chuckled.
Haku. Her big brother, and her final reason for feeling happy about this day. His return two months ago had been a miracle, and the two of them treasured every moment they had; it was like making up for lost times.
"Sasuke-kun, we should order some of this. It looks like it would be great on our toast." Sakura called over to her boyfriend. He walked over, onyx eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the jam. He nodded, noting the strawberry flavor with approval.
"Hn." He agreed verbally.
"Buy me a jar too! Your little nephew wants some!" Rin teased from her spot in Kakashi's arms. The two were sitting with Tsunade and Jiraiya at a nearby table. Sakura chuckled, nodding.
"No problem." The pinkette promised. Tenten let out a content sigh, looking up as her spouse gently squeezed her shoulders. Silently, he gestured with his eyes to the setting sun. Nodding, Tenten stood from her chair. Taking his hand, the newly wedded couple turned to their guests.
"Before we run off into the night, Neji and I would like to thank everyone of you for coming to our lovely wedding today, and making it so. It meant so much to us." Tenten said, smiling at the crowd. Neji nodded.
"It really does. Thank you for your wonderfully generous gifts, and your company. I hope that while we are on our honeymoon, things stay peaceful here." He said, wrapping an arm around his wife.
"Just get going, dude!" Kiba exclaimed loudly from beside Shino, Akamaru resting at his feet.
"Seriously, we're tired of seeing your face!" Naruto agreed, teasing the two from behind. Hinata sighing, shaking her head and Ino and Sakura smacked the blond on the back of his head.
"This is why weddings are so troublesome." Shikamaru muttered to Sasuke. The Uchiha male nodded, redirecting his attention to the married couple.
"Anyways, feel free to fight over our food and alcohol. Thanks again, everyone." Tenten concluded, biting her lip to keep from chuckling at the scene behind her. The crowd clapped, then went back to its own devices. Turning, she pulled away from her husband to hug her brother.
"I love you. Stay out of trouble while I am gone, okay?" She asked him softly, kissing his cheek. Haku nodded, resting his head on her shoulder.
"No problem. I love you too, and stay safe." He said, smiling down at her. She nodded, then pulled back to take Neji's hand. After waving their goodbyes, the two headed home to change and shower, and would leave soon after.
- "Sasuke Hyuuga?" Oten asked, fighting back the urge to vomit into the nearby waste back as he thought about the name. It caused disturbing mental images. -
"Neji?" Tenten questioned three days later, sitting beside him on the beach.
"Hm?" He replied without opening his eyes. She chuckled, resting his chin against his shoulder.
"No babies for awhile, okay?" She teased. Cracking an eye open, Neji chuckled.
"Agreed. Now is not the time." He said, gently kissing his forehead. She giggled at the ticklish feeling of it. Laying against him, in the sand, she watched the sky.
As the clouds drifted lazily across her view, she smiled at the warm feeling that settled in her stomach…and knew that the cause of it was the man beside her.
"I love you, Neji. Thanks for everything." She said without looking at him. He silently took her hand in his. As he squeezed their fingers together, their wedding bands clinked.
"I love you too." He replied, not looking at her. There was no need. Tenten smiled at that thought, giddy again.
With Neji, there was no need for much. It just came naturally.

"Yuri.." Wolfram whispered, eyes wide as his fiancé leaned forward.
Hateshinaku tooi sora ni "Arigatou" no kimochi dake
Todoku you ni ryoute hirogete warau
Yuri smiled at his kingdom as the villagers crowed the streets, crying out his name as he waved from his position in front of Gunter, who was sobbing hysterically.
"Heika!" He cried. Conrad laughed, smiling at his king, standing to his left. Yuri's smile widened.
Chiisakute kowaresou na inochi no kakera o kimi mo boku mo
Hitotsu-zutsu motte iru
Wolfram giggled, blushing as he sat on their bed, leaning over to bite into the chocolate the Yuri offered. He smiled again as he savored the taste. His blushed darkened when Yuri leaned over, gently pushing him back onto the bed. Wolfram gulped as he caught the look in Yuri's eyes.
Shinjitsu no hikari wa Akarusa o mashite iku
Yami wa kiesari Kimi no kokoro ga mirai o terasu
"What the hell did you just say, you stupid wimp?" Wolfram cried, pulling his knees closer to his chest as he pushed himself against the wall further. There was no way he had heard that right. No, his mind was just messing with him because he had not seen anyone in awhile.
Yuri frowned at the sight before him. His proud fiancée was shaking. He was in his pink night gown, clutching hi sword fierce fully. Blood was dripping down his legs, and from his forehead. Taking in a deep breath, Yuri moved forward, ignoring Wolfram's flinch at the move. "Wolf, I've finally found you…and I realized I love you." Wolfram's eyes began to tear as he began to sob. Above them, the sun revealed itself from the rain clouds.
Hitotsu yakusoku shiyou Boku wa koko de ikiteru
Aru ga mama de ii Mitsumeyou masshiro na iro
"Promise me Yuri. Promise me that this is for real. That we really are together. You didn't marry me just to shut me up.
Omoi wa yagate itsuka Unmei ni tadoritsuki
Kagirinai tsuyosa Mitsukeru n da
"It's the Maoh!" A villager cried out as the demon king revealed himself. Glowing, Yuri gently cradled Wolfram's head, handing him to Conrad as he turned to King Lindberg.
"Did you honestly think that I would let you get away with stealing what is mine?" The Maoh asked. The obviously ill king smirked,
"He wasn't your, Maoh heika. You have never claimed his as yours before, so I figured he meant nothing to you." The man said smirking. The Maoh and Yuri were internally fighting, but hearing that statement, Yuri grasped the Maoh's hand, pulling them together. The most powerful attack ever unleashed by the Maoh was aimed at King Lindberg of Big Cimaron.
Shinjitsu o motomeru n da Kanashimi ni uchihishigareta to shite mo
Makesou na yoru de mo
'It turns out I was pretty useless after all' Wolfram thought miserably as he was locked into a cold cellar. Staring u at the moon, he allowed himself to cry for the second time in his adult life.
Shoudou wa shizuka na Toki no naka de umarete
Kakugo o kimeta Kimi no kokoro wa Subete o kaeru
As the Yuri and his guards watched Wolfram breath into the oxygen mask, Yuri once again called forth his other self to his mind.
"I suppose it was not a bad call to take him to this hospital." The Maoh said, eyes softening as Wolfram sighed in his sleep. Yuri nodded, turning to him.
"I realize now what you are trying to do. I agree. This situation has made me realize that the war is far from over. If you promise to not kill on the battlefield unless given a choice, I will promise to listen to you more. If I had listened to you to begin with, Wolf wouldn't be here." Yuri replied. The Maoh smiled, and shook his hand.
"We have a deal. I will do my best to protect him." He said. Yuri realized that he didn't need to worry. It might actually be true that his other self is more protective of Wolfram.
"Excuse me, you all may see him now." A nurse said. Yuri rushed in, taking Wolfram's hand as the blond opened his eyes.
Hitotsu yakusoku shiyou Boku wa koko de ikiteru
Aru ga mama de ii Mitsumeyou masshiro na iro
"Yuri! I thought you said this stuff was good. It's cold!" Wolfram said as he tried to spit out the ice cream Yuri gave him. Yuri laughed.
"It's suppose to be cold Wolf. It's called 'ice' cream for a reason. Yuri smiled as a thought struck him. The Maoh chuckled in delighted approval.
"Ah, great idea." He said as Yuri took the spoon from Wolfram, and after taking a bite of the ice cream, kissed the much older male. Wolfram's eyes widened before he blushed. Yuri smirked, kissing his lips as he pulled back. Wolfram, still very much in shock, blinding put the ice cream on the table and pulled Yuri close again. Conrad and Celi smiled as the watched the couple finally come together.
Omoi wa yagate itsuka Unmei ni tadoritsuki
Kagirinai tsuyosa Mitsukeru n da
"Um Yuri, I have something to tell you." Wolfram said as he stood in Yuri's office, playing with the hem of his night gown. Yuri smiled, pleased to see Wolfram up and walking around.
"Come on in Wolf and tell me what's up." The Demon King said as he pulled Wolfram onto his lap before resuming his paper work. Summoning up his courage, Wolfram opened his mouth to tell his husband what was going on.
"Daddy! Papa-Wolf! Am I really getting a sibling?" Greta exclaimed as Wolfram shut his mouth, blushing and looking at his hands. Yuri gasped, quickly looking to Wolfram. The blond Mazoku's blush deepened. The Maoh smiled, both Maohs.
"Oh yeah, he's having my baby, what a wonderful way-" The Maoh cut himself, not quiet remembering the rest of the words to the song. Yuri grinned, quickly kissing Wolfram.
"Are we really Wolf?" He asked. Wolfram glanced up before nodding. Yuri's grin widened as Greta squealed in the back ground.
