Twenty: Lost Tales

NaruHina
Naruto is pacing back and forth in his hotel room. Every couple of seconds he lets out an aggravated grunt while roughly running his fingers through his wild untamed hair. He sighs heavily and looks out the window at the villagers running around preparing for the upcoming event.

Sai and Sasuke sit on the couch and watch him in amusement as they along with Kiba, Gaara and Neji share a large bucket of popcorn.

Neji whispers to Sasuke, "You were right Uchiha. This IS entertaining." Sasuke nods stuffing a handful of the buttery delicacy, as Chouji called it, in his mouth before sipping some tomato juice.

Shikamaru comes in with Shino, Chouji, Lee and Konohamaru to check on the guys. "You guys all set...." Shikamaru starts then facepalms. "Seriously Naruto?! What a drag?"

Naruto looks at him with a glare but softens his gaze immediately. "Sorry. I'm just so nervous."

Konohamaru asks, "Nervous? But you and Hinata are already married technically. So, why are you nervous about having the actual ceremony?" Naruto looks at him a sighs deeply running his hand through his hair yet again. "When we first got married, there were only a few people involved to witness it. The WHOLE village is here. All of my friends are here. I just....will I make a good husband?"

Everyone chokes at Naruto's question. Shocked does not describe their reactions. Before anyone can say anything, a deep stern yet comforting voice speaks, "The fact that you care enough to ask is all you need to assure that you will be the best husband for my daughter." All eyes fall upon the door to see Lord Hiashi standing there. He walks towards Naruto's to and helps him fix his tie while speaking,"I actually came here to give you a lecture. But seeing how nervous you are and hearing you question how good of a husband you are lets me know that Hinata is in good hands. As long as my daughter is happy, I am happy. And I accept you Naruto Uzumaki as my son-n-law."

Naruto's eyes water as a vision of his father appears before him. Even though Hiashi is the one to say those words, it's as if his own father just told him that. He looks down and grins widely before looking up with his usual mood. Scratching his head sheepishly, he says, "T-thanks sir." Hiashi stops him, "No. It's thanks dad."

Everyone smiles at this, except Neji and Sasuke who are too cool to smile so they just smirked. Naruto and his groomsmen finish getting prepared and enter the coliseum.

As Hinata prepares to walk out, Kakashi leans over to inform Naruto that Ichiraku's was not going to be able to serve ramen at the reception due to the supplies not arriving on time. Naruto looks at him wide eyed before breaking down into tears. Sasuke and Neji facepalm. Hinata walks down the isle and sees Naruto crying. Thinking he's happy because of the ceremony, she begins to cry as well. During their vows, Naruto, still upset about the ramen, chokes up constantly between tears while saying his vows causing many others to cry as well, not knowing he's still crying about his precious ramen. Sasuke, Sai, Neji, Kiba and even Gaara fight their hardest not to laugh at him. Even to bridesmaids, who are completely clueless, cry with him. Hinata says her vows and mentions ramen...

"My dearest Naruto-kun. I never thought you would ever love me as much as I love you. To be honest, I didn't even think I'd be loved more than you love ramen..." At the mentioning of ramen, Naruto sobs even louder and Sasuke and the others, even Kakashi are on the verge of tears from holding their laughs in. Hinata wipes the tears from his eyes and gives him a small smile. He jumps slightly from the sudden feeling of her soft hand caressing his cheek and stop crying instantly while blushing furiously. Hinata blushes as well and drops her head looking down at the ground. Naruto lifts her head to look into her eyes but accidentally stares at her cleavage. 'Little Naruto' begins to get excited as Naruto hurriedly places his hands in front of himself to hide it. Hinata noticed though and blushes even deeper at the pervy thoughts in her head.
