Chapter XXVI:

Sasuke sat on the tub embracing Hinata from behind kissing her neck with light kisses Hinata leaned her head backwards to give him more access, he licked the hickey he gave her a week ago before remarking it with his teeth earning a hiss from Hinata out of pleasure and pain.

"Hinata…" He rasped huskily before kissing her softly on the lips.

Hinata matched his tongue movement with ease for doing it a lot of times with him already and changed her position to face him to run her fingers on his hair while deepening their kiss at the same time. After their make out session Hinata started leaving light feather kisses on Sasuke's firm jawline and throat and neck and bit on his hickey.

"Minx" Sasuke said adjusting Hinata's position above him. "Do you want to do it again it won't hurt like the last time."

Hinata nodded.

"Grab my shoulders hime." He said as he gripped Hinata's waist and slowly lowered her to his already hard length.

Unlike the last time they made love, Hinata moaned this time not from pain but from pleasure since it doesn't hurt the same as before with the water in the tub helping in making the friction less. Sasuke meets each of Hinata's thrust pulling her closer to him as possible to kiss her briefly on the lips.

Sasuke can feel her walls tighten around his and he increased the intensity of his thrusting to put them both on the edge and when he sucked on one of Hinatas nipples he knew his climax coming soon as he pulled out of her and screamed her name.

"Cum for me hime." He whispered in her ear and licked it as he increased the intensity of his rubbing on her clit.

"Sasuke kun!" She screamed as she came and rest her head on Sasuke's shoulder while catching her breath.

Sasuke put his arms around her running circles on her back to soothe her, "We should hurry in washing ourselves up or we won't be having dinner with our hosts."

"Hai." Hinata said blushing as she entangled herself from Sasuke.

After taking a bath and changing into a new set of clothes with Hinata wearing one of the kimono Sasuke bought for her and Sasuke changing into a black yukata as well. Hinata blushed like a tomatao when she saw the stain on their bed cover and changed it with a new set of cover.

Sasuke picked up his katana from the ground where they left it and tied it on the obi of his kimono.

"Come now omae." He said extending a hand for Hinata to hold.

As they reached Keisuke's cabin, the long table in the dining are filled with roasted meats, sake, rice and salads. Foremen of the workshop are all there merrily drinking and eating while waiting for them to arrive.

"You finally came, how about you join us here." Keisuke said and urged Sasuke and Hinata to seat on their respective seats.

"We officially congratulate your union in marriage and for trusting our workshop to build your compound where your future family will grow. Let's all raise our cup for Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Hinata."

"For Sasuke and Hinata!" Everyone beamed as they raise their cups.

"Congratulations Hinata sama, the last time I saw you you're still single." Tetsuya, Keisuke's son and general foreman who have the same body built as his father with a shaven head and goatee greeted.

"2 years passed already Tetsuya san." Hinata answered.

Sasuke who had been watching the entire scene before him drank a glass full of water and extended his hand for Tetsuya, "Sasuke by the way Hinata's husband."

Tetsuya shook hands with Sasuke, "Nice to meet you as well. I hope you two will enjoy your stay here with us for as long as you want."

"We appreciate the offer Tetsuya san but Sasuke kun and I still have to go to steel country."

"Steel country, why are you in need of weapons?"

"No, we would like to open a blacksmith and steel manufacturing business in Konoha."

"I see, you can go find Takashi in steel country I'm sure he'll help you put your plan into fruition. Tell him I recommended you."

"Thanks." Hinata said smiling.

Sasukesighed audibly with Tetsuya's flirting of his wife however he restrained himself from showing him a piece of his mind as a courtesy to them being their hosts. Hinata can see her husband getting uncomfortable with the way Tetsuya was acting with her, she squeezed his hand to calm him at least.

"Why aren't you drinking did Hinata san forbid you to drink?" Tetsuya asked as he munched a piece of roasted chicken.

Sasuke kept his silence and want nothing more but for the dinner to end so he and Hinata can rest.

"I see you don't talk much."

After dinner was finished Sasuke took Hinata for a walk down the lake.

"You hate him don't you?" Hinata asked while they were walking.

"Not much but he reminds me of someone."

"Naruto san?"

Sasuke sighed and nodded.

"He's just a jolly person but he's really kind. He supervised the repairs in the Hyuuga mansion after Pain's invasion."

"He likes you omae and I don't like it when other men fawn over you."

Hinata puts her hands on Sasuke's face cupping it to level on his forehead with hers, "I know but you shouldn't worry about them because I belong to you alone. You fixed me when Naruto san broke me beyond repair, you helped me learn to give my heart again and I love you anata."

Sasuke embraced her, "I know I don't deserve to hold you with my hands that brought nothing but death and destruction but you showed me the light that's why I learned to love and for that I love you."

That night Sasuke and Hinata slept peacefully while embracing each other, feeling content for their lives for the first time after both facing different tragedies in their life yet they the most unexpected pair found each other and love.

The following morning Sasuke and Hinata decided to go to the city to look at the wooden furniture they will need in their compound. They walk together hand in hand in the woods to the city, due to Sasuke's increased senses after being a missing nin for years he already sensed the chakra of someone he hates to see.

"Sasuke kun is there anything wrong, why did you stop?"

Hinata was about to activate her byakugan to look for threat but Sasuke suddenly pulls her for a mouth searing kiss that caught her off guard but nonetheless enjoyed when she embraced him to deepen their kiss.

Sakura who was near them saw the scene before her.

"No…it can't be true." Sakura said crying and focused her stored chakra to release strength of a hundred seal and rushed towards Sasuke and Hinata ready to punch on Hinata.

Sasuke already anticipating the situation summoned his hawk below him and Hinata to lift them off the ground causing Sakura to hit instead a century old tree destroying it completely.

"Sa-Sakura san?" Hinata asked as she cling into Sasuke.

"Why you!" Sakura screamed about to lift off the ground but Naruto stopped her.

"Enough of this already Sakura chan."

"Let me go Naruto I will kill Hinata and then Sasuke will be all mine again!" Sakura said struggling to free herself from Naruto, but Naruto was already wrapped in the kyuubi's chakra making him stronger than her.

Sasuke jumped off his hawk with his mangekyo sharingan active while stalking towards Sakura, "How dare you threaten my wife Haruno, I'll put you in endless pain by what you just said!"

"Don't Sasuke she's still our friend."

However Naruto's words fell on deaf ears as Sasuke' rage are getting the better of him at this moment and just when he's about to put Sakura on a curse he felt a familiar hold on his waist.

"Calm down anata." Hinata said that immediately calmed Sasuke and wrapped his arms around hers as he closed his eyes.

Naruto and Sakura seeing the scene before them can't help but feel amazed and Sakura who was blinded by her desire to destroy Hinata weakened before Naruto's arms for realizing her mistake.

"You can let go of me now Naruto kun…I won't do anything harsh now." Sakura said softly as her chakra returned to normal deactivating her strength of a hundred seal jutsu.

Naruto let Sakura go and returned to his normal form.

Sakura kneeled in front of Sasuke and Hinata who are holding hands to keep Sasuke's temper at bay, "I'm sorry for everything I did to hurt you Hinata chan, for taking your fiancé away from you the night before your wedding and threatening to kill you today. I just love Sasuke kun so much that my feelings bettered my judgment that I hurt you and Naruto kun, but when I saw what you did…that's when I realized how much Sasuke kun loves you and that I will only be a friend in his eyes. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me for my mistakes."

"Do you know how much I wanted to be like you before Sakura san?" Hinata asked.

Sakura moved her head sideways and Hinata continued, "You are strong admired by everyone especially by Naruto san who I loved before and I always wanted to be you because you are a proud kunoichi, but when you took Naruto san away from our wedding my respect for you was thrown in the gutter for I was left broken by the only person I have loved because of you."

Sasuke puts his arm on Hinata's shoulders to give her comfort she needs with her pouring her emotions out.

Hinata who are with tears for remembering her heart being broken continued, "That's when Sasuke kun came to my life, he offered to marry me than face the shame of my clan and people of Konoha for being left alone on her wedding day. Our relationship started out as acquaintances for we barely know each other we can even count with our hand the number of times we had a conversation before we married. (Sasuke laughs at this making Naruto and Sakura look at him with bewildered faces) The time we spent together helped me not to think about the misery I felt, we then become friends as we slowly open ourselves to each other and when we had our first argument and we were separated for a week until I found him that's when we both realized that we already like each other."

Sakura and Naruto nodded in understanding on how Sasuke and Hinata's relationship grew.

"Until now we are still learning together the husband and wife stage." Sasuke said not wanting to give the detail on how he learned to love Hinata chan since it was a private matter only for them and their future children to know.

Hinata knew why Sasuke said those words and she just leaned her head into her husband's chest.

"I now understand why you chose Sasuke, I'm sorry for causing your heartbreak Hinata chan." Naruto said softly as he now understood why Hinata chose Sasuke over him.

"That's right and thank you for breaking her heart dobe or Hinata chan and I wouldn't have found each other." Sasuke said causing Hinata to laugh softly and Naruto to growl.

"Why you." Naruto growled.

"Congratulations Sasuke kun, Hinata chan. I hope we can all be friends again."

"Maybe but not now."

"Sakura san…For what it's worth I hope you will find the man who will love you the same as you love him." Hinata said softly.

"Thank you Hinata chan and again I'm sorry for everything. Sasuke kun I'm sorry for threathening to hurt your wife earlier. Naruto kun I am about to return to Konoha are you coming with me?" Sakura said and waved her goodbye before leaving.

"Yes, I have to report immediately with Tsunade baa chan. Enjoy your honeymoon." Naruto said grinning before following Sakura.

"You know I would kill her for what she did right?"

"I know that's why I stopped you and did you kiss me on purpose to irate her?" Hinata asked teasingly.

"Yes and I would kiss you anywhere in front of anyone if needed even in front of Gaara and Naruto."

"Then why didn't you kiss me right then in front of Naruto san earlier?"

Sasuke carried Hinata bridal style, "Are you suggesting we catch up on them so I could kiss you in front of them? Or would you like us to retreat back in our cabin and…(he trailed off)"

Hinata playfully hit Sasuke's arm, "We should really be going to the city to choose furniture while we still have the time to do so and your "other needs" can wait."

"Minx." Sasuke said kissing Hinata's head before lowering her down and continue walking to the city.

"Sasuke kun, you know I…can' be pregnant right?"

"I do, that's why I am being careful, besides we still have no home to provide for our family…until then I can't have you getting pregnant. How long do you think will you be apart from me when you go on your heiress training?" He asked suddenly feeling alone again at the thought of Hinata leaving him.

"I don't know…8 months to a year maybe."

"Then I shall train you well to shorten your time apart from me. I'll even ask for team Taka to assist in your training."

"Arigatou anata." Hinata said leaning her head on Sasuke's arm.
