That He's Not Waiting For You Any More

Sakura

20 year old Chunin Haruno Sakura sat next to Kakashi. Everyone in the village were sitting in chairs, while the Hokage and all the ANBU sat up front. Uchiha Sasuke and his husband were standing with team seven, waiting for the man of the hour. Naruto Uzumaki.

This was the day of his wedding and he looked anxious. Someone rung a bell and Sasuke stood up. "Here comes are guy." He stated to Kakashi and Sakura. Naruto ran up to the alter. Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara following suit.

Naruto was practically begging Sasuke, his best man, to hurry to the alter. Sasuke jokingly took his time. But when the music started, He ran next to Naruto. Many girls, including Sakura, were staring at Naruto.

Over the years, he had grown taller, His hair longer. It evened out and came down to his shoulders making the vessel put it into a high ponytail. His cheekbones were more defined and He lost all his childhood chubbiness. Everyone thought he was hot. But, there he was gaping with his mouth open at the door behind the seats.

Sakura turned. Hinata was glowing. Her hair was up in a bun with a few strands hanging down over her neck and face. Her dress resembled that of a princess and her lips were slightly parted.

She and Hizashi made it to the alter. Sakura rolled her eyes because Naruto was still gaping. Sasuke leaned forward and closed Naruto's mouth, earning a giggle from Hinata.

When the minister asked who objected in their marriage, Sakura coughed in the deafening silence, but Naruto's eyes stayed glued on Hinata.

'The moment you realize that he's not waiting for you anymore." She thought.

Sakura was walking down the street headed for Naruto's house. It had been a few hours since Naruto was instated as the sixth hokage. After the ceremony, she had overheard Hinata and Naruto arguing. Hinata was screaming the most about Naruto only paying attention to his sensei more than her.

She assumed they had broken up and were ready for divorce, hence her direction. Now was the chance to confess her love for Naruto. Sakura knew that Hinata couldn't keep Naruto forever. Because only she knew how to put and keep Naruto in his so she thought.

Knocking on his small apartment door, she called "Naruto." No answer. She knocked a few more times. Again, no answer. She went to his window, presuming that he was asleep. However that made her wonder, Naruto was living here until he moved into the hokage tower the next week. Usually when he slept, there were ANBU outside his door.

Looking in the window, which was slightly open, she gaped and narrowed her eyes in anger. The sight disgusting and hurting her all at once. Hinata was lying on the bed Naked. Naruto was hovering above her, eyes closed as her hands trailed his whisker marks. A silky sheet was covering them both. The hand finally stopped behind Naruto's neck. The commander began thrust above her. Sakura could not take anymore and she ran away.

Had she stayed any longer, she would have cried. Because Naruto leaned down and kissed his wife's forehead and stated that she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever saw. Inside and out.

Sakura later found out that it was actually Lee and Neji who she heard fighting, about Lee and Gai-sensei's relationships. She understood that. She also knew that they had made up as well.

She had been near the training ground entrance when she saw them. The whole field was occupied by moans and groans. Neji was on the ground, straddling his lover's waist and silently whispering sorry each time Lee thrusts into him.. Lee kissed Neji's neck, lips, and forehead. Sakura then realized she had missed her chance with Lee as well. She quickly left. But she was sure the whole village heard Hinata scream "Naruto!" and Neji scream "Lee!" at the same time. It was missed.

Sakura, Tenten, and the very pregnant Hinata and Ino were walking through the village looking through every store for baby clothing. Ino was gushing over the fox onesie that "Little Naruto" could wear. Hinata was listening to a very cheery sounding ANBU. Tenten was gushing over her best friend being married to the man she always wanted to be with, and how much it sounded like a fairytale. Sakura was annoyed.

She wanted to believe that it was because Ino decided to go on a stroll with Hinata and Tenten without telling her. If she had not seen them and tagged along, she would not have known they went at all.

She refused to believe that she was annoyed that Uchiha Sasuke, the ANBU with them, was only there to protect Hinata by the Hokage's orders. Sasuke did not even accept it as an order. He accepted it because he would "kindly give up my position as next ANBU commander to help my best friend out. And plus Hinata is great company. It's almost like talking to a calm feminine version of Naruto. She is great." Sakura scowled as she remembered Sasuke's small speech as said that word for word.

All Sasuke gave Sakura and the others a small hello and now he was currently talking to Hinata about his marriage. Again, she had never seen Sasuke so happy. His smile would have been bigger if her were with Naruto, but it was a different kind of smile nonetheless.

Ino squealed. "This has to be fate. Here we are looking for baby clothes and we come across a fox onesie. You and Naruto are made for each other, I swear."

Sakura snorted at the onesie when Hinata and Tenten were away. Ino gave a glare. "Stop it with your negative attitude Sakura. If you were going to act like that, you should not have come along."

Sasuke nodded. "Ino, do not stress with the child. She is right, Haruno. I don't know what your problem is toward Hinata, but stop it. You will not ruin anyone's happiness. Especially, not Naruto's."

Sakura gaped. Sasuke was always serious, but this time he was angry. He was ready to kill Sakura. All for Naruto. Why did she come?

Oh, yeah. Because she should have been in Hinata's place. Naruto should have gotten Sasuke to protect her. She should have had Naruto's child within her right now. She was bitter. She wanted one slip up to happen with Hinata. And then maybe she'd have a chance.

Sakura stood watching Hyuuga Hinata and Tenten while they were in the park. Everyone stared at Hinata. Not only because she looked beautiful with her tight black shirt and pants on, but also because she was currently crawling toward a giggling baby in a fox onesie.

"Come here, Boruto." she cooed. "Or go to Auntie Tenten."

The baby giggled and crawled away some more. He was almost off the blanket when an ANBU in a hawk mask, Sasuke again, pushed his foot out, blocking the baby's path. Boruto looked up. "Uncoo Sasaaa" he screamed. Yes, Boruto recognized Sasuke even with his hawk mask on.

Sasuke had become Naruto and Hinata's personal guard, which for Sasuke had been more exciting than just going on regular mission. Someone always wanted to put their hands on Naruto, Hinata, and Boruto. Naruto was still ANBU commander. He still went on missions, stating that he could not stay at a desk all day and that he would rather fight alongside his ninja then let them fight alone.

Naruto was strong, Sakura thought. He should have been hers.

Sasuke took off his mask and smiled down at Boruto. Said child put his arms in the air. Indicating that he wanted to be picked up. Sasuke complied. "Where Dada?" Sasuke smiled at the indirect mention of his best friend. He stared into Boruto's blue vibrant eyes.

"Should be here any moment now." Sakura heard him reply.

Sasuke gave Boruto back to Hinata, who squealed at the child, earning a soft jab from Tenten. "Hello Sasuke. How is your husband doing with his pregnancy?" Sakura scowled at the sweetness of her voice, but smiled at how Naruto's crazy inventions have actually helped people.

Sasuke had a crisis sometime ago where he was trying to choose between his husband and restoring his clan. Naruto attempted to help his best friend. So he derived his new Pregnancy no jutsu from his sexy no jutsu. Now gay men could become impregnated. Sasuke had cried. Actually cried and thanked Naruto with his life, even telling him that he was so happy that he met him.

"He is well, Hinata. About ready to pop."

"Wonderful." Sakura took this as her chance. She walked up to them, aiming for Hinata. Before she got there, Sasuke had his mask on and was standing in front of her.

"Sakura Haruno. What do you think you're doing? Just walking up to the hokage's wife without permission is near treason."

Sakura looked into Sasuke's mask. Hinata handed Boruto, who was mumbling "Mama," to Tenten. "Is there a problem, Haruno?"

Sasuke dared her to say something. He was forgetting that after Hinata, she was the best medic nin in the village. She would not back down now. "I wish to fight you."

Hinata laughed and Tenten laughed with her. "Why, may I ask."

"Because Naruto is mine. If I win, I have him."

"You still think this is the academy don't you? This will not be easy you know? You're forgetting that I am a Former ANBU captain. I can easily beat you. But, this is my marriage that's on the line. I do not want to fight you."

Sakura turned her head and let a few tear fall. Hinata continued. "You will find someone who can be there for you. You are beautiful. I promise." She smiled.

Just then Boruto crawled to his mother's leg and used it to hold himself on his small legs. He pointed. "Dada!" he said. They all turned to see Kakashi and Naruto walking alongside each other. Kakashi put his arm around Naruto in a fatherly way. And again, Sakura saw a few tears prickle. But, this time, Naruto held them in. Naruto had never grown up with family and Kakashi was there for him now. Boruto called him again.

"Oh my. Who is that handsome devil that looks just like our great and wonderful Hokage?" Naruto asked.

Boruto tried to stand, but fell down. "Ttebasa!" he yelled. A verbal tick from his grandmother and father. He reached his arms up.

Naruto swayed. "Oh my. My heart. He's so handsome. His father must be the hottest in the village. I want to meet him!" Naruto picked up Boruto and gave the baby a raspberry kiss. Naruto took off his hokage hat and placed it on Boruto's head. Everyone, even Sakura, laughed at that.

Naruto feigned hurt. "I want to be with this baby's father so much." He sniffed as Boruto put his small hands on his face to comfort him. "But I heard the man is taken by the most beautiful woman in the village."

He ran to Kakashi and clutched the older man's chest. "Have you seen her? Pupiless eyes, a curvy body, midnight-purple hair, kind, heart sweet smile. I mean, I don't mean to talk bad about her, but I think her beauty and personality are sinful. Is it possible to be that cu-"

"Dobe?" Sasuke interrupted him.

"Yeah, teme?"

"First get off Kakashi-san's shirt, and second have you been drinking?" Naruto laughed. He was the only one of team seven who still respected Kakashi enough to call him sensei.

"No." Naruto answered. "But, I think I just saw the most beautiful woman. More beautiful than Hyuuga Hinata." Sakura held a hopeful gave until Naruto turned to a confused and almost hurt Hinata. "Her name is Uzumaki Hyuuga Hinata." Naruto walked over to Hinata and kissed her. Tenten and Kakashi awwed as Boruto pulled onto Hinata's neck to get both their attentions.

"I missed you, love." he told his wife.

"I saw you thirty minutes ago." Hinata said.

"Exactly."

Sasuke turned to Sakura and whispered. "Forget about Naruto. If you try to ruin my best friend's happiness and his wife's again, I will not hesitate to kill you."

Sakura sighed. "No one can replace Naruto.

Sasuke smiled softly. "Naruto is stubborn. No one can replace Hinata. Not even you." He walked to the small crowd.

Naruto then noticed the dried up tear on his teammates face. "You okay, Sakura-Chan." Everyone looked at her. She wouldn't ruin Naruto's happiness even if she wanted to.

"Everything is fine." She replied.

"Good." Naruto sat Boruto on his shoulders and smelled Hinata's hair.

Yeah. Sakura had definitely missed out.

And there it is.
