The Beauty of Power
Chapter 22
The Uchiha heir figured that he should take on a different approach to Hinata's friends for the sake of her, he realized that she cared about them, deeply, and he need to change his policy of intolerance. He could at least tolerate them somewhat and be civil. Sasuke didn't want his bride to feel divided between her friends, and him, and their disparities. It would be unfair to make her mediate between the two.
Sasuke watched Hinata place the invitations in a small bag, he walked up to her, and wrapped an arm around her waist. With his free hand, he pushed back her hair, and kissed the back on her neck. Hinata smiled, warmly, and she placed her hand on his cheek.
"You're going to pass them out today aren't you?" Sasuke asked as he planted kisses down the back of her neck.
"Yes, since the w-wedding is in a couple of days." Hinata stated. "I have to get them out a-as soon as possible, I don't want it to be l-last minute."
"I will come with you to pass them out."
"Really?"
"Yes, then everyone can see us as a couple." Sasuke informed. "And everyone can know that soon you will be Mrs. Uchiha." He made his way to the nape of her neck, sucking it, lightly, and her head titled to the side. She bit her lip, and moaned.
"I like the s-sound of that." Hinata said as she closed her eyes. "Being r-referred to as Mrs. Uchiha." Sasuke's hand moved from her waist, and disappeared underneath her shirt. She flushed red, sighing, and the Uchiha heir licked her ear, earning him a small gasp. He chuckled, relinquish his hold on her, and a teasing smile was on his face. Hinata covered her face with her hand, placing the remaining invitations in her bag, and Sasuke took her hand, interlacing their fingers.
"Your embarrassed face is hot." Sasuke stated. Hinata gave him a sour look, removing her hand from her face, and she giggled at him. "Come on, let's pass these out."
"Un." And with that, Sasuke led her out of the front door.
XXXX
"Hee!" Ino shouted, surprised as her eyes nearly fell out. She held the invitation in her hands, then brought it back to her face one more only to pull it away. "You never told me it was this serious!"
Hinata turned red, and she looked down. "I'm s-sorry." She looked at Sasuke who stared at the blond head Yanamaka with a cooled expression, and Hinata squeezed his hand, gently.
"There is no need to be sorry." Ino said as she waved her hand. "I am so happy for you two. So let's see the ring?" Hinata held out her hand, Ino's mouth dropped, and she grabbed Hinata's hand, scrutinizing it.
"Kami, that is amazing." Ino marveled. Her sea foam colored eyes rested on Sasuke, and she smiled at him. "You picked an amazing woman, Sasuke."
The Uchiha heir closed his eyes, and sighed. "Why do you think I am marrying her, Yanamaka?" Ino looked at him, speechless, and then she nodded, turning red.
"I will be there at your second ceremony." Ino stated. "I can't wait." Hinata chuckled at her friend, and then they made their way to Kiba.
When Kiba received the invitation, and he grinned at Hinata.
"Well, I'll be damned." The Inuzuka smirked, and his eyes flickered to Sasuke. "Don't hurt her, Uchiha." Sasuke shrugged with an unfathomable expression.
"That is a foolish concern of yours." Hinata smiled at Sasuke, leaning over, and she nuzzled her face in his arm.
"Well, seeing Hinata happy makes me happy." Kiba informed. "And I don't know why you gave me this invitation, Hinata, I'll be there."
XXXX
The Uchiha heir knew this would be tested when he came in contact with Naruto, and Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata, lifting her off the ground. Sakura chuckled at the two, Sasuke hissed, not liking another man touch her, but he restrained himself.
"Congrats, Hinata-chan!" Naruto shouted. Naruto smiled at Sasuke, goofily, and he slapped his shoulder. Sasuke flinched.
"I didn't think you were ever going to get married!" Sasuke rolled his eyes, and Sakura smiled at Sasuke. "It is about damn time!"
"We are happy for the both of you." The pink haired kunoichi cooed. "We will be there."
"What kind of food will be there?" Sakura hit Naruto upside the head, and Naruto looked at her, pouting.
"I was just asking." Hinata giggled at the two.
"There will be p-punch and cucumber s-sandwiches."
"Sounds good." Naruto grinned. "Two of my best friends getting married. I look forward to it."
- A few days later-
The wedding was held at private shrine. The Uchiha heir had on a dark blue kimono with gray hakama pants, and a jacket draped over the kimono. The jacket had the Uchiha fan on the back of it. Behind him was a wall, it had the two symbols of the clans, and a bowl of fire was in the middle. There were two men tapping small taiko drums, and a shakuhachi flute was in the background with instruments making a shaking noise. Hiashi stood on the opposite side, and an elderly man draped in fine kimonos stood with a book in his hand. According to Hiashi, the elderly man had been a part of a long dynastic family who performed Hyuuga clan marriages both for the main branch, and second branch for centuries. Hanabi started to come into sight, she sprinkled some flowers on the ground, and Hinata came from around the corner. She had on a triple layered kimono, it dragged behind her, and her hair was adorned in all sorts of ornaments. Tassels were on her kimono, and her lips were stained red. The Uchiha heir stared at her, intently, a smile settled on his lips, as she met his eyes, and Hinata walked up to where they were standing. The Uchiha heir, and Hinata knelt down in front of the fire, and the elderly man opened his book, reciting a couple of chants. When he was finished, he lit sage, and blew the smoke in their direction, purifying their union.
"Now, onto the ceremony." The elderly man stated as he closed his book. "Would the bride and groom face each other?" Sasuke took both of Hinata's hands, and she looked at him, elated. "Now, do you, Sasuke Uchiha take Hinata Hyuuga to be your wife?"
"I do."
"And do you Hinata Hyuuga take Sasuke Uchiha to be your husband?" The elderly man asked.
"I do."
"Then, in front of his monument, and in front of the Kamis in heaven, I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The Uchiha heir leaned over, wrapping his arms around her waist, and kissed her, eagerly. She giggled against him, and the elderly man lit a candle from the both of fire. He handed it to the now husband, and wife, and they both touched it. The fire changed colors, glowing a vibrant green, and it lit up the sigma of the Uchiha and Hyuuga clan. The flames encircled them, and then went out, suddenly along with the candle.
It signified that the two prestigious clans had been bonded through their marriage.
XXXX
"I am going to miss you, sis." Hanabi said as she hugged Hinata's waist, and Hinata hugged her back.
"I promise to visit as much as p-possible." Hinata turned to her father, he placed a hand on her shoulder, and gave her a nod. He didn't say much too her, nor to the Uchiha heir.
"Come on, Hanabi." Hanabi kissed Hinata on the cheek, running up to Hiashi, but before he left, he turned to Hinata.
"For a moment, I thought I was looking at your mother." Hinata's eyes widened, and she felt her eyes water up at the rare display of affection from her father.
"T-thank you, father." Hinata said with a cracked voice. And with that, Hiashi and Hanabi were gone. The Uchiha heir walked up to Hinata, she smiled as tears fell down her cheeks, and she took a cherry blossom from her bouquet, placing it inside of the collar of Sasuke's jacket.
The Uchiha heir titled her head upwards, and he stroked a free strand of her hair.
"We can't just stand here all day." Sasuke said as he pulled away. "Otherwise those invitations would be all for nothing."
"Un." The two lovers made their way to their home, grabbing all of the food and drinks, and reception, hand in hand. As they headed there, Sasuke whispered into her ear.
"I couldn't have asked for a better bride and now wife." A smile was on his face, and Hinata kissed his cheek.
"I love you." Hinata reiterated. "I am the l-luckiest woman in the w-world."
"Well, I don't know if you're the lucky one here."
XXXX
They were met with awes once they reached the gazebo, tables were pulled out, and white table cloths were spread out on top of them.
"Let's see a kiss." Ino urged. Sasuke glared at her, Hinata turned red, and she bit her lower lip. But, before he could object, she had pressed her lips against his, and she pulled away, covering her face, giggling. The Uchiha heir's lips curved into a smile at the affection of his wife.
"Is that a smile on your face, Sasuke?" Naruto teased
"Shut up, dobe." Sasuke said as his smile instantly fell, and Naruto chuckled at him. Sakura elbowed Naruto in the side, the blond headed Hokage grunted, and he rubbed it, gently. The pink haired kunoichi had something behind her back, and she smiled at Hinata.
"So, Naruto and I kind of decided to buy something for you two." Sakura said as she pulled out a box, and opened it, revealing a small cake. The cake had white frosting on it, it had congratulations Hinata and Sasuke written in blue, and Hinata looked at her, taken aback.
"Sorry, it is not big, but you can't just have no wedding cake."
"Oh you're so k-kind, thank you."
"Oh, what good will a cake do." The blond headed Yanamaka said, wavering here. "Hold on, I have to get something." Ino disappeared for a moment only to come with a stack of wrapped gifts, and Kiba trailed behind her with several more of them. Hinata's looked at her, speechless. "What is that?"
"Wedding gifts silly." Ino chuckled.
"We were already going to give her some." Sakura said as she frowned at Ino, and pulled out two small boxes.
"Well, mine are better." Hinata chuckled at the two and their rivalry.
XXXX
"Yanamaka, Haruno, Inuzuka…. Uzumaki." The Uchiha heir stated their names, firmly, and they looked at him, shocked. His eyes flashed to Hinata. "Thank you for making my wife feel special during this day."
There was a uniform silence, their mouths hung agape, the Uchiha heir had never done something like that before. He never thanked anyone in all of the days of his life, but Sasuke had to give appreciation to anything that made Hinata happy. Agitated at their prolonged response, he scowled.
"What?" he hissed.
"Nothing, nothing, now let's enjoy this reception." Ino suggested.
They enjoyed the food, and the reception was met with laughter and bliss. When the cake was cut, and Hinata took a whip of the frosting. She placed it on Sasuke's cheek, everyone laughed, and he cocked an eyebrow. She giggled at him, he took a whip of the frosting, and placed it on her lips where he licked it off. Hinata nearly fainted, and he whispered in her ear.
"Pay back."
It lasted late into the evening, the lake glistened in the setting sun, and the two lovers sat in silence, overlooking the water when everyone left.
"you know, Hinata, I used to come here as a small child and sit here, trying to figure out what my purpose was in life.' The Uchiha heir stated. "But now, I have figured out what that purpose is, and it is you, Hinata."
Hinata looked at him, speechless, and then she blushed. She leaned over, resting her hand against his neck, and kissed it.
"Let's go home."
XXXX
They carried the gifts home, and sat them down in the living room. Before, Hinata could say anymore, Sasuke grabbed her. He picked up Hinata in his arms, bridal style, and they entered their bedroom. Hinata giggled at him, and nestled her face in his chest. He couldn't help but smile at how elated she was, and they fell together on the bed.
"Did you think it was a b-beautiful wedding?" Hinata inquired. "And did you like the r-reception?"
"I really didn't pay attention." Sasuke said as he looked at her, intently. His fingers caressed her lips, and cheek. Hinata looked at him, sourly, and she grimaced. "You ignored the whole thing?"
"Well, it is kind of hard to focus on everything when you are around me." The Uchiha heir stated. Hinata smiled at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and she kissed him gently.
Sasuke opened the collar of her kimono, diving his hand down it, and he cupped a breast. Hinata pulled away, moaning, and Sasuke chuckled at her. He traced his lips along her jawline, and then nibbled down her throat.
"Sasuke, w-what are you doing?"
"We haven't consummated our marriage yet." Sasuke said as he began to untie her obi. "It is tradition that we have sex afterwards."
"You're not the o-one who like t-tradition." Hinata defended
"Ah, but I want to have sex with you." Sasuke informed. "And wouldn't you say it would be a little special to do it today." The obi sash fell to the ground, and the Uchiha heir took off his clothing, and undid his hakama pants. "And I want to show my wife just how much she means to me."
Hinata laid on the bed, wrapping her arms around her nude body, and she shivered. "It's a little c-cold."
"We can create our own heat." He took the ornaments out of her hair, and it fell down.
Hinata looked back at him with parted lips, and her hair now sprawled out over the bed. Her pallid skin was flawless, unscathed, and her body was slender silhouette. Sasuke pinned her down, and he felt his member stiffen at the way she was laid on the bed. The Uchiha heir pulled her legs apart, sitting in between them, and she gasped at the feel of him against her leg.
"S-Sasuke…" Hinata said with her voice trailing off. Sasuke groaned to himself, his erection becoming uncomfortable, and he leaned over. He kissed the base of her throat once more, and she ran her hands up his back, and into his hair.
"I want you, Hinata, I want you, now." Sasuke said almost demandingly
Then, he kissed her again, but with such an intensity that it left Hinata gasping for air. He sucked her bottom lip, she moaned against him, and he took advantage of her open mouth. His tongue delved into her mouth, caressing her tongue, caressing the inside of her mouth, and his hands moved to her now exposed breasts. He squeezed them, hard, she gasped, pulling away, and her head turned to the side. He liked the innocent look on her face, the way her face twisted in pleasure, and he wanted more.
"Sasuke!" she rasped. Hinata began to mumble his name.
Louder, Louder.
She was so easy to arouse, but he would take his time with her. He wanted to explore every orifice of her body, leaving nothing untouched, unclaimed by his tongue, mouth, and hands.
The Uchiha heir clasped a nipple on his mouth, rolling it in between his teeth, flicking it with his tongue, and sucking, lightly. He enjoyed the taste of her bare skin on his lips. She was soft against him, almost as if she had been created just for him, and she grabbed hair, gently. When he was finished with her breasts, he began to suck the skin that made them, and soon her breasts were covered in teeth and red marks.
"Don't let your shirt go down for any reason." Sasuke chuckled.
"I-I won't." Hinata assured. He could see that right now, she would comply with anything that he did to her.
"And if I hurt you let me know." The Uchiha heir informed. Hinata nodded at him, the Uchiha heir ran his tongue down her stomach, and dipped it into her belly button. She giggled and moaned at the same time.
This woman was truly beautiful. His hands moved in between her thighs.
"W-what are y-"She was cut off as the Uchiha heir stuck his finger inside of her, her back arched, and she screamed his name. Her screams were getting louder, Sasuke was pleased to see her wet for him, and his finger moved in and out of her, roughly.
"Ah… Mm." His mouth clamped over hers, hushing her unintelligible words, and her nails grazed his back.
He liked to see her in a state of ecstasy. She hissed when he pulled his finger out of her, and stroked her entrance, tenderly. Hinata shuddered against him. She leaned up, pressing her lips against his throat, and Sasuke took a steady breath. Hinata kissed the scars on his chest, her kisses were tender and sweet, and the Uchiha heir groaned. It was almost as if she were trying to kiss the scars away. Then, she traced another scar with her fingers and pressing her lips against that one. His eyes rolled, and he pushed her back down on the bed. He stopped stroking her, not wanting to wait any longer, and positioned himself.
"This will hurt are you ready?"
"I a-am." He grasped her hips, thrusting into her sex as hard as he could and Hinata covered her mouth, muffling another low cry. Her walls were clenching his member so tightly that he thought it would choke, and he sighed. He gripped her hips, keeping them in place, and began to jerk out her, madly. She moaned his name, their grunts, groans and other sexual noises resonated off the walls of the bedroom.
"You're so tight." The Uchiha heir rasped as he increased the intensity of his thrusts. "But, I can fix that." Hinata threw back her head, and she held onto him, tightly. Their bodies started to make noise as they hit against one another's, and he kept pounding into her as hard as he could. His hard grip on her legs left hand imprints, and the two lovers found themselves climaxing fast. At his pivotal point, he spilled hot semen into her womanhood. He leaned down, kissing her one last time, and rolled off her. Hinata snaked an arm around his waist, she snuggled up to him, and kissed his chest. He sighed as her lips made contact with his skin. Hinata looked up at him, and he brushed her hair out of her face. The air in the bedroom was heavy, and hot.
"I love you, Sasuke." Hinata mouthed.
"You're my everything, Hinata." Sasuke noticed a strained look on his lover's face, and he pulled the cover on her body. "Go to sleep, you've had a long today."
And tomorrow, and for the days of all my life, I will wake up next to this woman. To her smell, to her body, to her essence.
The indigo haired beauty nodded in compliance, resting her head on her husband's chest, and fell asleep to the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat.
XXXX
Hinata woke up on top of Sasuke, she lifted her head up, and Sasuke had his eyes closed. His lips moved, slightly as steady breaths passed through them. He had his arms wrapped around her, she gently rolled off of him, careful not to wake him, and tip toed to the bathroom. She turned on the shower, she need to wash up. She had expected there to be pain there, but there wasn't, and she blushed as she recalled the events last night. Hinata couldn't believe that she had sex with Sasuke last night, it was what a man and woman did when they were married, but the fact that she did it was what got her. He never seemed to get enough of her, his desire for her consumed every fiber of her being, and she shook her head. Hinata stepped into the shower, but soon the curtain pulled back. A pair of arms wrapped around her, and a pair of lips pressed against her neck.
"How dare you leave me alone in bed?" The Uchiha heir said with a smirk. And with that, she was pushed against the wall, her legs were spread far apart, and he began to pound into her once again.
-Several days later-
While Hinata was changing clothes, Sasuke was leaning up against the door frame, with crossed arms. As Hinata searched for a shirt, she found herself staring at her husband, favorably. Hinata had noticed that he really didn't like to leave her in a place by herself, if she took too long in the bathroom, he would check on her, he always seemed to be there. At every moment, the Uchiha heir was at her side, if she couldn't reach something high on a shelf or need to put up something, he would do it for her. Sasuke seemed to be in deep thought, an unfathomable expression was on his face, but he caught sight of her kind gaze upon him.
"What?" The Uchiha heir asked as he cocked an eyebrow.
"N-nothing." Hinata walked to another side of the rack of clothes, she reached out to push a hanger out of the way, but Sasuke grabbed onto her arm, and pulled her into him. Sasuke stroked her hair, and Hinata couldn't get enough of the fond look he gave her.
"Anata, I need to know do I hurt you when we have sex." Sasuke demanded. Hinata shook her head, and he stroked her cheek with his thumb. "You would tell me, right, I know how you are."
"Of c-course."
"Good cause the last thing I want to do to you is hurt you."
"I know."
"Do you enjoy it?" Sasuke asked, curiously. "When we have sex?" Hinata turned red as a tomato, pushing him away, and she turned around, getting a shirt. He chuckled as she tried to hide her bashful face, and he leaned down, kissing the space between her shoulder blades. "I enjoy it very much."
"Please." He chuckled once more, figuring that he had better stop teasing her before she had a heart attack.
"So tell me, my love, when do you start your missions?"
"In a w-week or so, Naruto said that he wanted to g-give us time off to enjoy our marriage life." Hinata said as she pulled down the bottom of a blue blouse. "And what a-about you?"
"Well, as per the agreement between Naruto and me, I will be starting a mission in about three weeks." The Uchiha heir informed. "So we have plenty of time to enjoy this serene moment of our lives."
"Good c-cause I don't want it to end a-anytime soon." Hinata admitted.
"You have yet to open the wedding gifts." Sasuke said as he brushed a piece of hair behind her ear. "Do you want to open them?"
"Oh, yes, let's do it together." Hinata walked into the living room, stacking the boxes, and Sasuke leaned up against the wall. She sat in between his legs, her back to his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her waist as she pulled out the boxes. The gifts ranged from bed sheets, pictures, teddy bears, and a plague that had their names engraved on it. The last box made Hinata blush as she opened it up, and she quickly closed it.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked. She shook her head, and pulled the box away from him. The Uchiha heir raised an eyebrow, and grabbed the box.
"Sasuke, n-no!" Hinata squealed, lowly. The Uchiha heir pulled out a one piece lingerie, it was white with blue trimming. Sasuke pursed his lips, Hinata frowned at him, and he remained silent as he put it back in the box.
"I didn't realize you had perverts for friends, Hinata."
"I-I don't." Hinata stammered. "I had n-no part in t-this."
"Still, she has good taste, you will have to model it for me tonight."
"Let's just finish opening the rest of them." Hinata said as she tried to change the subject, and grabbed another box.
XXXX
It didn't take long for the word to spread around Konohagakure that Hinata Hyuuga and Sasuke Uchiha had married. The Uchiha heir had wanted to keep it private, but nothing was kept secret around the village for long.
Sasuke had expected some girls to wail over the news, all of their aspirations for him suddenly squashed, but the villagers didn't come up to his wife and ask her why she had married him. Instead, the Uchiha heir had been told that the villagers were curious about the whole thing. Stopping, Hinata in the grocery stores, and asking about their relationship.
Of course, he knew she wouldn't disclose anything, they were both private people.
The Uchiha heir found himself, oddly fond of public displays of affection with Hinata to an even greater degree, being married to her was something that he couldn't have anticipated.
Sometimes, he would spend all day, asking her favorite foods, and things to do. And when she told him, the Uchiha heir would make sure that they did something the next day that she liked.
One time, she told him that her favorite flowers were irises, and he bought her a bouquet of them. Yes, when it came to Hinata, he was enamored with her.
And he wouldn't have it any other way.
-Later on that night-
The lingerie given to Hinata laid on the ground, tattered, and labored breaths could be heard outside the door.
"Anata, look what you do to me." The Uchiha heir said, huskily. His member pounded into her womanhood over and over again. Hinata took a deep breath, catching her breath, and she placed both her hands on his cheeks. Sasuke leaned down, and pressed his forehead against hers. After a few more countless thrusts, Sasuke finally released his seed inside her, and Hinata's chest rose and fell, rapidly. She pulled him against her body, he wrapped his arms around her, and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"Sasuke…" Hinata says with her breathing starting to settle down. "W-what if I get pregnant?" Sasuke grimaced, still laying on top of her, and he propped himself up on his elbow. He reached over a hand, and ran his finger up and down her sides.
"Hm… I am pretty sure that it doesn't work that fast." Sasuke chuckled, velvety. "You would have to be incredibly fertile for that to happen."
"Yes, b-but it will happen, eventually." Hinata said as her eyebrows furrowed together. "I mean do you want c-children?" There was a silence exchanged between the two, and Sasuke stared at her, intently.
"It is hard to say." Sasuke informed. "I really haven't given it much thought since my preteen years, when I was a preteen, I wanted nothing but to resurrect my clan, but obviously that requires a female, and as I got older, I abandoned the notion with much reluctance, there were no women around that I wanted to inseminate, I wanted the right woman to carry on the next generation of Uchihas. I didn't really anticipate finding the right one until you came along."
Hinata smiled, warmly, and she reached up a hand, tracing the outline of his brow.
"Do you want children?" She nodded at him, "Then, we will have them."
"But, I want both of us to d-desire them."
"Hinata, you being my wife, who I am now, this life is so different from my life before, and who I was before, it is all new to me." Sasuke stated as he planted kisses down her sternum, and to her flat belly. "But, that is something that I am willing to experience with you."
"Sasuke…"
"How many do you want?" Hinata shrugged a bit, and she began to ponder.
"M-maybe one or two, and you?"
"As many as possible." Sasuke smirked, teasingly, as Hinata's eyes widened in shock. "No, probably about three."
"Three it is." Hinata settled. "Do you like g-girls or boys?"
"I really don't care."
"And w-would it bother you if one of them have the byakugan i-instead of the sharingan?" The Uchiha heir groaned, burying his face in her stomach, and his grip on her tightened.
" Hinata, I don't care what the children will be like, boys, girls, and the whole kekkei genkai thing is bound to happen, not all our children will have sharingan or byakugan as I would expect them not, but as long as they come from you and have our features, then I don't care." Hinata smiled, running her hands through his hair, and closing her eyes.
"I think t-they'll be beautiful when we have them."
XXXX
They didn't go to sleep that night instead they laid in bed, and enjoyed each other's company with dim lights in the room on. Both of the lovers satisfied with each other's presence, the Uchiha heir rubbed his thumb over her forearm, and with his free hand, ran his fingers through her indigo colored locks.
"I've enjoyed t-these past days with you, with us being an m-married couple." Hinata said as she squeezed his hand, affectionately. "There are just so m-many wonderful emotions I am having." Sasuke smiled, one of his rare smiles.
"And those emotions will never waver, anata." Sasuke informed. "But, remember this is only the beginning for you and me."
"I know." Hinata assured. She rested her hand over his heart.
"Because, my love, we can experience this for the rest of eternity." The Uchiha heir said as he pressed her against him, affectionately. "We have all of eternity to be with one another."
Please review the story, I would greatly appreciate it, and I hope you all enjoyed it as there will be more to come- FireGladiator.
