Iruka sat calmly in the third row of chairs set up for the VIPs of the occasion and fidgeted with his tie nervously. He wasn't like Kiba, who would sooner die then put on a tie, but he still hated them. It was finally the blessed day of the king and the prince's wedding and he had been given a great seat for the historic event. Only a small group was in attendance for the actual ceremony, but hundreds upon thousands more where waiting outside the palace for the couple's first appearance.

A distant bell chimed loudly above the courtyard and the mingling guest all took their appointed seats. Soon every last one was filled, but the one to the right of Iruka. The wolf demon growled lowly under his breath and looked around anxiously for his date. The man was no where in sight and Iruka was already planning the chewing out he was going to give him the moment he dare show his face again. Of all the things to miss!

The wedding march began playing in the background as Neji made his way up the aisle in white robes and veil. His face was flushed the most lovely of rose colors and his lavender eyes seemed to shine like gems as they ignored the other guest and gazed only at his awaiting groom. Gaara stood proud and tall at the alter in robes of black that accented his pale skin in the most appealing way. His smile was full of pride as he waited for his bride-to-be calmly.

Iruka was torn between the happiness he felt for his country's rulers and the longing for his lover. This was the first time the pair had been able to be together in public without the threat of prison or death since they had met. It hurt him that his human had not come to share this special time with him. Than like a wish come true Iruka felt hand on top of his and looked over to see the silver eyes of his lover shining like a pair of polished coins. The scarf that covered his mouth and nose couldn't hide the smile on his face. Iruka wanted to be mad at him for being late, but the joy and relief that he was there overwhelmed those feelings. He intertwined his hand with Kakashi's and leaned his head onto his lover's shoulder.

Kakashi's presence was soothing to his frayed nerves and the two watched the ceremony in silence. Only when Neji and Gaara had their first kiss as a married couple did Kakashi speak.

"Sorry about being late, I had to pick something up on the way over."

Iruka looked at his human incredulously and frowned lightly.

"What could have been more important than our king's wedding and our first date out in public?" He asked in a hurt tone.

Kakashi kissed the back of Iruka's hand and smiled at him.

"Well a certain jeweler failed to realize how important it was to me that I have this before the day was through."

With nimble fingers Kakashi slipped a diamond ring onto Iruka's clawed hand and watched the amazed look appear on his lover's face.

"I knew you'd be speechless, but I would like an answer….Will you be my husband Iruka?"

The wolf demon was astonished at his boyfriend's proposal and could only nod numbly. Kakashi smiled at how cute he looked.

"Good because there's no one on Earth I'd rather marry then you, my little demon."

Iruka blushed scarlet and kissed his Fiancée with everything he had.

Neji and Gaara spied the couple as they kissed and shared a knowing look. Looks like they weren't the only one to get their happily ever after.

I kept wait to get 5 reviews for the last chapter like the rest, but they never came, so I'm just adding the ending now. Hope you all like it!

Yours truly,
