This is the last chapter of this story. Stay tuned for the sequel, "Together".
Naruto is owned by Kishimoto-Sensei!
Six months later, Kakashi and Sakura got married. It was a big wedding, because it's Kakashi and Sakura; the great Copy Ninja and the 5th Hokage's apprentice and best medic in all the Great Nations. The whole ninja population of Konoha and a few civilians was there, the Sand siblings, Kakashi's family, even Tazuna and his daughter and grandson came from the Land of Waves.
Kakashi was only 20 minutes late, which surprised everyone. Everyone was making bets to see when he will get there. What surprised everyone more is that Gaara won the pool. The young Kazekage was just as surprised as everyone else. He got so much money that day.
The wedding was actually on their one year anniversary, May 14th. Sakura was 20 and Kakashi was 33 years old. They've known each other for eight years and they felt like they were ready, so why wait any longer?
It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Tsunade was actually in tears when Sakura walked down the aisle with her father.
"There, there. Tsunade. It's okay." Jariaya patted her back.
"But, my little girl is growing up!" Tsunade cried aloud, making a few people near her look at the scene.
"You still got Shizune." Jariaya tried to calm her down as both Sanin looked on stage to where Shizune was the maid of honor. Genma was the best man.
A/N: Just go along with the wedding. I know they're in Japan, but I'm basically making it Americanized. Deal with it. (:
"She'll be leaving me soon too. I'm surprised Genma hasn't married her off yet." Tsunade told her best friend.
Sakura had four bride's maids; Temari, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata. The groom's men were Yamato, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sai. Sakura and Kakashi made sure their team was included in the wedding. Of course they wouldn't even dream of not including them. Mebuki Haruno was a few seats from Tsunade and she was crying too. Kizashi was next to Jariaya who was next to his crying wife. Jariaya and Kizashi turned to each other and both had the same thought: 'There's no stopping them from crying.'
Kakashi's aunt, uncle, and cousins were really happy to have a new member to the Hatake clan. Uncle Haroki and the cousins loved Sakura from the start. It took Aunt Namie quite some time, but she finally warmed up to Sakura and accepted her with opened arms. She was close to tears herself, but Kasuki patted her back to let her know that it's okay.
The elders didn't really accept the fact of Kakashi and Sakura getting married, but they attended the wedding nonetheless. It WAS the wedding of the century for a reason. Anyone who's anyone went, that did include the village elders. They didn't really want to be there, but Tsunade made them come for reasons unknown.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest told them. Sakura and Kakashi looked at each other and then at the boys. They had a plan.
98% of the people who had come wanted to come so they can see Kakashi's face. All of Team Seven knew that anyway. So, they had a plan in mind. The only people who have seen him without his mask other than his team are Genma, Gai, Jariaya, and Tsunade. It'll take more than a wedding for everyone to get to see his face.
Everyone was waiting in anticipation to see what will happen. They all had their cameras out so they may see Kakashi's face.
Sasuke pushed Naruto and Sai in front of Sakura and Kakashi just as their lips touched for only a few seconds before they pulled apart and Kakashi's mask was on his face again.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!." One of the very angry guests asked.
"Sorry. My hand slipped and accidentally pushed Naruto and Sai in the way. My bad." Sasuke apologized so insincerely.
"Sorry. I thought I could balance myself, but I didn't. Some ninja I am." Naruto chuckled. Sai nodded his head.
"Did anyone see his face?" Kiba asked no one in particular. Everyone shook their heads, beside the priest.
"Hey. Look at the priest guy." Ino pointed him out and everyone turned their attention to the blushing, heart eyed priest.
"He's so-beautiful." The priest said.
"What the hell?!" Kankuro shouted. Temari glared at him and he shut up.
"Well, looks like it's time to go to the reception now. Queue us out please." Kakashi asked the organ player and Sakura and Kakashi walked down the aisle away from everyone else, leaving everyone but Genma and the rest of Team Seven stunned.
"You look beautiful." Kakashi told his new wife as they were dancing to the first song. It was just the two of them and it was so nice.
"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." Sakura joked.
"You hurt me, Sakura-Chan." Kakashi feigned being hurt.
"You know I love you, right?" Sakura asked her new husband.
"I may. I love you too." Kakashi told her back. They continued dancing until the song was over and they both sat down next to the maid of honor and best man.
"That was a dirty trick you did at the ceremony by the way." Tsunade came up and grinned to them.
"It was worth it though." Kakashi replied. Tsunade rolled her eyes.
"Good luck being married to him, Sakura-Chan. He's a handful." Tsunade told her.
"I know, Tsunade-Shishou. I've dealt with him for eight years now." Sakura chuckled lightly. Tsunade smiled sadly and left to join Jariaya and Orochimaru at their table they had to share with Kabuto and the two village elders, Homura and Koharu.
"Why don't you two dance?" Tsunade turned to the village elders. She doesn't particularly like them, but she doesn't really want to sit at the same table with them at the moment.
"We don't dance." Homura admitted.
"Oh, c'mon. Try to stay young and dance." Jariaya figured Tsunade's motives and tried to get rid of them. Him and Orochimaru feel the same way as Tsunade.
"There's no point in trying to stay young when half the village doesn't really listen to you." Koharu adds him.
"Not our fault no one likes you." Kabuto muttered under his breathe.
"You need to get laid." Orochimaru commented, surprising everyone at the table, including himself. Silence followed that comment.
Homura cleared his throat. "..Right. Then, shall we dance?" He offered his hand to his long time friend.
"Sure. Why not?" She took his hand and they both left the table.
"..Wow. Thanks, Orochimaru." Jariaya thanked his team mate.
"..Yeah. No problem.." The snake master said, wondering what the hell just happened.
The now 65 year old drunken bridge builder got along nicely with Tsunade while at the reception, with the both of them getting drunk together. It got weird.
"Tsunade. Tazuna. You're both drunk. Get off the table, Tazuna!" Jariaya shouted.
"No. You're not my mom!" Tazuna shouted back running away from the Sanin.
"Dad!" Tsunami tried to get her dad off the table he just climbed on.
"COWABUNGA!" Tsunade jumped off the table and landed on the ground with a big 'thud'.
"Excuse me. I'll be right back." Sakura stopped the conversation she was having with Neji and Kiba. She walked over to where Tsunade was on the ground, picked her up with her right hand and hit a spot on her neck and knocked her out for a few minutes. "She's out for about ten minutes. Watch over her unconscious body please." She asked Jariaya to do that and he nodded his head. She went back to her conversation with her friends.
"Nice." Ino said as she watched what Sakura did and went back to her conversation with the other girls.
"Sakura-Chan. There seems to be a little problem." Naruto ran up to his team mate, who was having a wonderful conversation with her brother.
"What's the problem now, Naruto?" Sakura sighed. More problems. Great.
"Well, the two turd faced elders are drunk and they're starting to take their clothes off. Teme, Sai, and Yamato are trying to stop them, but they won't listen. She sighed and got up from her seat.
"I just wanted a nice wedding. That's it. I don't think I did anything that terrible recently that made me deserve this." Sakura whined and walked up to Homura and Koharu. "We didn't even want them here, but Tsunade-Shishou insisted they come. What the hell?" Sakura knocked both village elders out as well. "Can you please get them dress?" She asked her team mates.
"Uh..., Well, you see.." Yamato tried to start.
"I'm not really in the mood. Please?" Sakura asked sincerely. Weird. They nodded and she left.
"What happened?" Tsunade woke up from her ten minute nap. Jaraiya was sitting next to her with his left hand under his chin looking bored and Orochimaru eating a plate of chicken.
"You got knocked unconscious." Orochimaru said with food in his mouth. Tsunade looked at him with a gross expression on her face.
"BUT, you're back to Earth now. You should take it easy on the sake now though. You thought you could fly, so you jumped off the table and landed on the ground in a very unceremonious way. Let's just say the bride wasn't happy." Jaraiya filled her in. Tsunade took a piece of chicken off Orochimaru's plate and ate it.
"Hey! Get your own chicken. This is mine." Orochimaru hogged his food as he whined a bit.
"Hey. You wanna dance?" Tsunade turned her attention to the pervert sitting next to her.
"Who, me? Are you serious?" Jaraiya wanted to know.
"Yeah, you. I'm serious. I wanna dance with you." Tsunade looked at him and smiled.
"Really? Are you sure?" Jaraiya was testing. He's happy she wanted to dance with him.
"Yes, I'm sure. I wouldn't have asked you if I wasn't sure." Tsunade declared and Orochimaru nodded his head, agreeing with her.
"It's true. You should dance with her." Orochimaru said with food in his mouth again.
"Shush and eat your chicken, snake boy. Yes, I would love to dance with you." Jaraiya got up and held his hand out, which Tsunade accepted with a smile and both went on their merry way to dance. They were dancing next to Asuma and Kurenai and Genma and Shizune.
"Hey. look at that." Sakura pointed out for Kakashi.
"Wow. She's actually dancing with him. I'm impressed she said yes." Kakashi told his wife.
"I bet she asked him to dance." Sakura smiled.
"Why would you think that?" Kakashi looked at his pink haired lover, confusion on his face.
"Because she wanted to. I know how Tsunade really feels about Jariaya. She doesn't even know herself, but I do. i told her to ask him though. At least one dance and if she finds the spark that I know is there, well, things will definitely be more interesting around here."
"Hm." Kakashi seemed to think about it. "I guess it does make sense. Her and Jaraiya definitely have history together as team mates and he was always there for her."
"Like you and I." Sakura said softly and he looked at her. "You've always been there for me. I never thanked you enough for that. Thank you." She smiled. He smiled back.
"It was my pleasure. It always is." He kissed her. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Well, that's the end of this story.
