RECAP: Getting closer to the end

The days started passing. Sasuke was still in the hospital. 3 had her son back. Naruto and Gaara had finally gotten their married time alone. Kankuro was finally out of physical therapy and had gone back to the sand with Matsuri and Temari. A month later and Sasuke was able to walk again. They were getting married finally. Unlike Naruto and Gaara they were going to have a ceremony.

Naruto and Gaara were in Sakura's dressing room helping her get ready. Her maid of honor was Ino, they had been friends for a very long time and long ago had promised eachother that this was how their weddings would go. Gaara was waltzing around the room with Sakura's dress against him and Naruto was filming. Sakura came out in her underwear and shot a look at Gaara. Who carefully laid it down.

"Sakura what are you wearing?"

"Bra and panties why?"

Naruto started talking to the camera he was holding as he panned over Sakura.

"Look at this Sasuke. We went through the trouble of getting her bridal panties and a bra and she wears this. Don't worry though I'll make her change."

"I don't need to change."

Naruto snapped her bra.

"Yes you do. Look at how much elastic is in these things."

Naruto demonstrated just how far each article of clothing could stretch.

"You could fit almost two of you in these. Sasuke can't take your dress off later tonight and not see the sexiest underwear ever."

"Fine fine, I'll go change."

Sakura went to go change and Gaara kept waltzing around with the dress. Sakura came out a little later in her new underwear and looked over at Gaara and after a pause the three of them started laughing very loudly. Naruto put the camera down and helped Sakura into her slip and the got her to step into her dress. He adjusted it on her and zipped it up. Naruto's eyes started getting a little watery as did Sakura's. He hugged her around her shoulders from behind. Gaara couldn't help himself and joined in from the front.

"You look so beautiful Sakura."

"You two don't look so bad either."

"I don't want to have to give you away. I wanna keep you."

"I love you guys."

"We love you too."

Gaara and Naruto kissed her cheek and let go. Naruto picked the camera up again and they walked out to the hall where all the bridesmaids and groomsmen were waiting to go. Gaara got in position and Sakura put her arm around Naruto. The pairs started walking out.

"Ready?"

"I have been ever since I met Sasuke."

"I love you Sakura."

"I love you too Naruto. You're my best friend."

"You too. OK, it's our turn. I'd still rather keep you though."

"OK, let's go."

Sakura and Naruto started walking and eventually made it to the alter. Naruto gave her away and took his spot as Sasuke's best man. The minister started the ceremony. The exchanged vows.

"Sasuke, never in a million years did I think you would fall in love with me. I've had a crush on you since the day I met you. I was lucky enough to have you on my team. After all that time we spent together I've learned so much about you. You're turned into so much more than a grade school crush. We've been through a lot. We've lost a lot but everything we went through made me fall deeper in love with you. I can't imagine my life without you. I will never stop loving you Sasuke."

"Sakura, you are the love of my life. I've never loved someone as much as I love you. All the time we spent together as a team was amazing. Every mission, every training session, every day I was with you I fell more in love with you. I know we've lost a lot but we've also gained a lot. We have a beautiful daughter. Sakura, I love you more than life itself, I couldn't imagine life without you. You're my soulmate and my best friend. I'll never stop loving you either."

They gave eachother the rings and kissed. They were married. They filed out and rode to the reception. Naruto and Gaara were on the verge of crying as they started on their own way to the reception along with the other guests. Sakura and Sasuke were getting a little worn out and not looking too forward to talking to a few close friends and lots of acquaintances.

"Sasuke, we're finally married. I've been waiting for this for so long."

"I love you so much Sakura."

"I love you too."

"Reception time."

"Do we have to?"

"We have to have our first dance, come on."

They met up with everyone at the reception. Naruto and Gaara gave toasts even Ino gave a short speech. Sakura and Sasuke dance for their first time. Sasuke had to go mingle with some people he didn't like and Sakura took a break with Naruto, resting from dancing so furiously during fast songs.

"More champagne."

"No I've already had my glass. There's nothing tackier than a drunken bride."

"Sakura...I'm gonna miss you."

"Why? I'm not going anywhere and the honeymoon'll only last about a month."

"But you're married now...it's different."

"Aw, Naruto. No it won't be different. I promise. I love you."

"Love you too."

"Oh a slow song."

"May I have this dance."

"Of course."

Naruto and Sakura danced. She later dance with Gaara and then Naruto again. She spent the rest of the reception with Sasuke. Once it ended they were off on their hotel. Sakura and Sasuke made sure to hug both Naruto and Gaara before they were pushed into their car. They were off to their destination. A spa just outside of Konoha. Once they'd left Naruto collapsed on Gaara. He was bawling. Gaara started crying a little too. They didn't have time for that though, they had to take care of Naru while they were away plus they'd see her after their honeymoon. They went back to Sasuke and Sakura's apartment and put Naru to bed.

Sasuke and Sakura started kissing on the way over. After a while of kissing Sakura put her head on Sasuke's shoulder.

"I love you so much Sasuke."

"I love you too."

"I can't wait for tonight."

"Me either. We haven't been together since before the mission."

"It'll make tonight even better."

Sakura and Sasuke laid down in the back of the car and rested a little while. Once they got to the hotel they immediately got to their room. It was already pretty dark out. Sasuke kissed Sakura onto the enormous bed and got on top of her. He moved to her neck which enabled her to talk.

"Sasuke, we're married."

"I love you Sakura."

"I love you too."

Sasuke remembered that they still had the camera. In order to make sure they'd captured everything he got it from across the room.

"Say hi to the camera Sakura."

Sakura smiled.

"Don't make me wait. Come on."

"We need to film every part of out wedding so when our memory goes we'll remember. And we can recommend this hotel."

He panned around the room.

"This is our hotel room until our honeymoon. This is what I look like after the wedding. This is what my gorgeous wife looks like. Now when we watch this 40 years from now we'll remember how incredibly hot we were."

"Get over here."

Sasuke chuckled and put the camera down, accidentally keeping both of them in view. Sasuke got back on top of Sakura and kept kissing her. A little while into it she sat up and Sasuke unzipped her. Sakura climbed out of her dress and Sasuke tossed it across the room. Sasuke took his jacket off as he kissed her and she started unbuttoning his shirt. He helped her along and took his shirt off. She wrapped her arms around him as he kissed her chest. He got his hands underneath her and unhooked her bra.

"Wait wait. How do you like this bra?"

"What?"

"You like it right?"

"Of course, it's on you."

"Knew it. Alright keep going."

Sasuke laughed a little and got her bra completely off. He kissed down her chest and started teasing one nipple with his tongue and the other with his hand making Sakura squeal. She arched her back and Sasuke moved accordingly. He then started kissing down her stomach and running his hands over her chest. He kept kissing her all down her body then moved his hands to take off her panties. He did in one motion and threw them across the room.

Sasuke got lower with his kisses and spread her legs more. He slipped a finger inside of her and she moaned. With his other hand he massaged her inner thighs and then licked her. She writhed and unconsciously started riding his finger as he slipped another in her. She moaned loudly and he kept licking her. He started feeling around inside of her for her spot. He soon found it when Sakura squealed louder than he'd ever heard. He looked up at her and saw how red she was.

"Did that feel good?"

" *pant* Mhm."

Sasuke smirked with his lips still against her, she could feel it.

"Want me to do it again?"

"God yes."

"OK. How's this?"

He teased it again and Sakura screamed in pleasure. He kept licking her and kept teasing her spot . She was screaming and writhing in pleasure until Sasuke sent her over the edge. He felt her inner walls contract around his fingers. He made sure to lick up all of her juices before talking to her.

"How'd that feel?"

" *pant* In-incredible *pant*"

"Glad to hear it."

Sasuke teased her spot a little which made her twitch uncontrollably, since she'd just climaxed she was incredibly sensitive especially after such an intense orgasm. Sasuke pulled his fingers out and she moaned. He crawled up and kissed her and she put her arms around him again. Sasuke broke this kiss and smiled at her as he took his pants and boxers off. Their fingers intertwined above Sakura's head and Sasuke began to enter her. As he did Sakura's back arched and he leaned down to kiss her.

"I've missed you Sasuke."

"I've missed you too, it's been so long."

Sakura kissed him again and he pushed himself in her. Sakura moaned into Sasuke's mouth and he did the same. He was going at an agonizingly slow rate making Sakura writhe even more. Finally when Sakura though she couldn't take anymore he increased his speed and she moaned again. He got even faster. Sakura broke the kiss and started screaming in pleasure with her eyes shut tight. Sasuke could do nothing except watch her as she writhed underneath him. Her legs wrapped around his waist and twitching, her breasts heaving and her moans making him want to never stop, both yelling out eachother's names over and over again. They were both in complete bliss and soon were over the edge and climaxed. Both screamed eachother's name even louder at the feeling and started panting. Sasuke who had been looking down on her collapsed on top of her. Their hand were still locked together above Sakura's head. Both panting in eachother's ear. Sasuke kissed Sakura's neck a few times then resigned to lying on top of her. They hadn't talked for a few minutes but they were still panting.

"Sakura. *pant* You were *pant* incredible."

"S-so *pant* were you."

Sasuke lifted himself up a little and kissed Sakura. She kissed him back and they smiled at eachother when they broke the kiss. Sasuke pulled himself out of Sakura which made both of them moan again. Sasuke rolled off of Sakura and onto his side next to her. Sakura kissed him again.

"That was incredible."

"Mhm. I love you so much, Sasuke."

"I love you too. Oh my God, that felt-that felt so good."

"Oh, I know. It's been so long. That really exceeded my expectations."

"Are you saying you thought I wasn't gonna do good?"

Sakura and Sasuke laughed and she kissed him again. Sasuke put his hand on the small of her back and drew her closer. She put her arm around him and through his hair. Finally they broke the kiss and put their foreheads together.

"Sasuke? Ya know what I've never done?"

"What?"

"Taken a bath with someone."

"Me either."

"This is the honeymoon suite. The bath's huge."

"Alright, let's get in."

"I'll go run it."

Sakura wrapped herself in a sheet and climbed off the bed. She noticed as she started to stand up that the camera was right in her face.

"Sasuke?"

"Hmm?"

"Is this camera on?"

"I don't know is it?"

She looked at the camera closely and saw a red light.

"Oh my God. It was here the whole time. You never stopped recording."

"So we just recorded all of that?"

"...I feel so...dirty..."

Sasuke chuckled a little and Sakura turned the camera off. She then got up and ran the bath. Sasuke followed her. She was sitting next to bath waiting for it to fill. Sasuke sat behind her and hugged her. The bathroom floor was cold but Sakura had a sheet around her.

"You are so beautiful Sakura."

Sakura leaned back and kissed him. Sasuke tightened his grip and she got closer to him. They waited for the bath to fill and added lots of soap on the way to make sure it was good and bubbly. Once it was full Sasuke took Sakura's sheet off and they climbed in. The tub was so big. Sakura was relaxing from a very tiring day. She leaned her head back on the edge of the tub. Sasuke started massaging her feet.

"Oh, Sasuke. That feels fantastic."

"That's the idea."

"Those heels may have permanently damaged my feet. Of course it was worth it though."

"Nice save. I wish our bath was big enough for this."

"If it was we'd be prunes all the time. I could fall asleep like this."

Sasuke started massaging her leg as well has her feet and switched off.

"Do your feet hurt?"

"No they're OK."

"Let me rub 'em."

"It's OK, I'm fine."

"Come on, so far it's been all about me. Let me rub your feet."

"You want to do something for me?"

"It's only fair."

"OK, will you enjoy this footrub I'm giving you? For me?"

"...OK."

Sakura closed her eyes and almost fell asleep. She did after a little longer. Sasuke got out and wrapped a towel around himself. He drained the tub and picked up Sakura. He managed to hold her with one arm as he grabbed another towel. She was amazingly still asleep. Sasuke dried her off before he put her down on the bed. They were both so tired from everything. Sasuke pulled the covers up on her and kissed her goodnight. He then climbed into bed next to her and put his arms around her. He fell asleep a few minutes later. Happier than he'd ever been.

MEANWHILE

Naruto and Gaara had put Naru to bed and were going to be themselves. They'd be sleeping in Sakura and Sasuke's bed. They got in bed next to eachother and started falling asleep.

"I miss Sakura."

"She's not gone Naruto."

"I know but now she's officially Sasuke's wife."

"Doesn't mean she can't be your friend."

"...I just miss her."

"I know."

"I love you Gaara."

"Love you too. Are you as tired as me?"

"Yes, getting Sakura ready was very tiring."

"She's probably thanking you right now for making her change though."

"I think Sasuke'd be thanking me more."

Gaara laughed a little and kissed him. The two of them fell asleep soon after.
