Chapter 14- The Wedding & Epilogue
Soon after adopting the boys and the caravan incident Tsunade finally asked Neko when she and Kakashi were going to get married.
Neko Smiled "I'm sure it'll be soon" she replied "Why?"
"I would like to officiate"
"Really?"
"Well yes you know my love for you and my affection for Kakashi I would be honored to do this if you both would like"
Neko sat for a moment "Hold on" she said
She sent a shadow clone to Kakashi and informed him of what Tsunade offered
"He agrees" she said to her friend a moment later
"How do you do that?"
"I think of where I want to be and send my other self there, it's rather easy- I did it as a kid if you remember"
Tsunade laughed "yes I do remember you playing hide and seek with yourself"
Neko laughed back at her "I still had fun"
Tsunade smiled "you know when you told me about the boy I knew it was Kakashi"
"Did you?"
"Yes you were only a year behind him yet on the same level, but with your parents gone it was best to let you go as opposed to keeping you here."
"It turned out to be a wise choice" Neko answered She laughed "I wonder what would have happened if Kakashi and I had grown up together"
"Things may have been different for him and you"
"Yes and then again we may not have gotten this far either"
"He has loved you since he 1st saw you"
"Yes and I him, in my own way he has always been the one for me"
"You've been the same" he said from the doorway
Neko turned to him as he walked across the room
"From the moment I saw you dancing and heard your laughter"- he put his arms around her and kissed her forehead "when you smiled at me I was lost- I got here as fast as I could what did I miss?"
Tsunade laughed "we were discussing Neko's childhood and how she would play hide and seek with herself, plus how things may have been different had she grown up with you"
Kakashi laughed, "Well I would like to think we would have been married way before now"
Neko wrapped her arms around him
"Either way I have you now and I am not giving you up"
Tsunade laughed "Ok then when would you like to get married?"
"Friday" Kakashi said "I don't want people talking about us living together"
"Have people been talking?" Tsunade asked
"Some not enough to bother us"
"Well Friday it is and then I am sending you to the land of waves for a honeymoon for 2 weeks Naruto and Sai need siblings, along with the other fosterlings I am going to bring to you."
Neko Laughed, "filling up my rooms?"
"Yes I am, Kakashi do you have any objections?"
He smiled "no we'll take care of them"
Tsunade grinned "good now go so I can make plans see you Friday at 2 pm at the main grounds"
They nodded and left the room
Kakashi grabbed Neko and swung her around
"Soon my pet you'll be all mine"
She laughed; "I already am my love" she replied.
When the boys got home that night they told them of the wedding plans and how they wanted them in the wedding. Both of them were thrilled to be a part of the ceremony, Then Kakashi and Neko explained how they would be fostering more children
"It's not like I will adopt more as you 2 are dear to me" Neko said "But some need the care"
"We understand mother" Sai said "really we do our home is large enough for more than just Naruto and myself."
"Yeah" Naruto said "I don't mind others it'll give me more training partners"
Kakashi laughed "and give you a chance to teach as well"
"Oh yeah I forgot about that"
"And hone your Hokage skills" Neko said
"What?"
"Well yeah think about it as Hokage you must love and care for many. How better to start than with the younger generation."
"Great Idea mom" he grinned in his own way "I really never thought about that"
Neko winked at him "it's ok I thought of it for you. Also Kakashi and I will be away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon can you 2 hold down the fort here?"
"Yeah believe it" Naruto exclaimed
"Of course you and father deserve a nice honeymoon" Sai said
Neko grinned at her sons
"I'll bring you something nice" she said
The boys smiled back at her as they finished discussing the upcoming wedding.
Kakashi stood at the altar waiting. He was dressed in a black tux his mask in place. Their team stood around him in various stages of nervousness Kakashi had his hands clasped behind his back.
Tsunade waited, as Hokage she could minister to weddings and was honored to wed 2 of her favorite people- Neko finally started walking down the aisle she wore an antique white and rose dress with a small train. Her eyes locked with Kakashi's and she smiled at him- Once she reached him he breathed a sigh if relief. They turned and Tsunade raised her hands.
"My friends she began we have gathered today to witness the joining of 2 of our own"
"Kakashi Hatake do you promise to take Neko Kundai as your wife, your partner, your soul mate, forsaking all others until the day you breathe no more?"
Kakashi looked deep into Neko's eyes "My life I pledge to you forever" he said
Neko smiled at him as Tsunade continued "Neko Kundai do you take Kakashi Hatake as your husband, your partner, your soul mate, forsaking all others until the day you breathe no more?"
Neko stood there a second then she smiled at Kakashi "My life I pledge to you forever" she could see the grin behind his mask
"As these 2 pledge their lives let none come between, May I present to you Kakashi and Neko Hatake, make her your Kakashi."
He nodded briefly as he bent he slipped his mask down to capture his wife's lips with his
Everyone applauded as they kissed when it ended he slipped his mask back into place, no one got a glimpse of his face with the exception of Neko. They turned to wild applause from their friends and family.
Kakashi and Neko spent their honeymoon back in the land of waves relaxing and enjoying each other in more ways than one. They were rarely out of sight of each other. They bought a paint set for Sai, a new Kunai for Naruto, and 2 medical books for both Sakura and Tsunade. Which they presented to each of them upon their return after being gone for 2 weeks.
Epilogue:
Tsunade installed another fostering into their home - Konohamaru Sarutobi, Neko laughed when he showed up at the door with his bags. "Naruto" she called "I have the future seventh Hokage at the door"
Naruto came running "alright Konohamaru welcome home your room is next to mine"
"You live here big brother Naruto?!" he exclaimed as he entered the house
"Yeah Neko sorta adopted me she's my mom now and you can call her mom too if you want"
"Can I?" Konohamaru asked
"Of course" Neko said turning to Naruto she said "Son go ahead and show Konohamaru his room dinner will be ready as soon as Kakashi is home"
He followed Naruto asking dozens of questions- Neko watched them with a smile on her face she had new for all her boys when they sat down for dinner.
~~ Kakashi returned home in time to help prepare the meal once they were all seated around the table Neko cleared her throat.
"I have some good news" she said Eight pair of eyes looked at her- Neko stood up and walked around the table to Kakashi- she wrapped her arms around his neck "We're going to have a baby"
"WHAT?"
"NO WAY!"
"COOL!"
Kakashi gasped, jumped up and swung Neko around.
"You're happy?" She asked He turned his back to the boys pulled down his mask and kissed her. She had her answer.
10 months after their wedding Neko gave birth to twins. Both children shared their fathers white hair. They named their son Obito and their daughter Rin. Both Naruto and Sai were elated to help out with the children and the other orphans that Kakashi and Neko brought home.
Kakashi finally found peace in his life he was surrounded by people who loved him, he had a wife who adored him and had given him the gift of children. After missions he would always rush home to be with them.
Standing looking down at the sleeping twins Neko slipped up and put her arms around him
"Stop thinking so much" she said to him
Kakashi smiled, slipped the mask down off his face, kissed his wife sweetly and replied
"For the 1st time ever, I am not."
