Disclaimer: I only own the fact that I put these two characters into such a situation.
Author notes: Hello yet again my lovely readers! Sorry that I took so long to finally put this up. Thank you for all the reviews though. They really made me smile. So, here is the latest installment of this story, do read on.
My morning was impeccably peaceful and serene until I turned to see two green orbs bearing into my blue ones, scaring the hell out of me. I really hated it when Gaara thought that staring at me until I woke up was the best way to take me out of my sleep. I almost forgot what day it was due to all the stress of the past few days (days? More like months) and I covered myself once again in my covers, which were pulled away roughly from my body.
Naturally, I made a fuss and kept yanking the covers back. "Aww come on, let me sleep some more."
"Naruto, get up. You've had enough sleep, and today is your wedding day! It is 8 A.M. and Sasuke will be here any minute with those damn annulment papers." I stiffened due to his words and the covers were completely taken from me and the bed, and I stared up at Gaara. "Naruto? Come on. You have to get some clothes on. The suits and stuff is at the hall already."
I shook my head. "No, Gaara. No! I don't want it to be like this now." I choked on a sob that was threatening to come out, and my hands made a beeline for my hair. I was tugging harshly hoping that the pain would make it a little bit better or maybe I was just hoping this was all a bad dream. But then again, I woke up. Fuck. "Gaara, this is really happening. I'm going to get married to Sakura while I'm married to Sasuke, who probably has the annulment papers asked upon my request and I have no idea if I want to be with Sakura for the rest of my life or start dating the bastard who I can't help but kiss."
"…You really do like making trouble for yourself."
"That's not funny Gaara!"
He sighed and sat beside me on the bed. "Look, I didn't say it to make you feel bad or anything. But you do get yourself into the worst situations, but somehow you majestically pull through. What happened to the 'Naruto Uzumaki charm' you used to rant and rave about? Remember before we became friends we caused trouble for each other and look at us now. You'll get through it, and I am here to help you. Now, go take a shower, you smell."
I scowled at him, and got up from the bed wishing that today didn't happen at all. Having the warm shower water run over my body I felt a little bit more alive but still groggy. I could hear through the loud running water that someone had knocked on the door to the suite and Gaara let whoever it was in, and then a few hushed conversations and the door snapped shut. Then I heard some shuffling towards the bathroom door.
"Naruto? You in there?" I bit my lip at the sound of Sasuke's voice. It was automatic and I smacked myself a little to make it stop. Honestly, I needed to stop acting like a lovesick girl.
"Y-Yeah. I'm here." Why was my heart beating so fast again? Was it time to get out of the shower? I looked down and saw that my hands were getting a bit too soaked and decided to get out. I wrapped a towel around my waist, turned off the water, and there he was sitting on my bed facing me. Talk about déjà vu. "So…you got those papers I guess?" He stared me up and down pushing the papers behind him and licked his lips. Of course, another part was reacting to being out into the cold air as well as Sasuke's lip licking. "S-Sasuke?"
He got up from the bed and started to walk towards me, and I moved to the side trying to by-pass him. It wasn't with any real effort and he caught my wrist as I was holding the towel wrapped around my waist that was threatening to fall down. I bit my lip looking down at his hand on my wrist willing it to move away because I know what would happen if I moved my own arm. Unfortunately, my rotten luck got the better of me and he moved my arm, and the towel dropped.
Now, I was completely shown to him. I already knew that I was half hard and I could feel the blush creeping in as he took his hand off my wrist and onto my hips, guiding me backwards into the wall. I couldn't say anything at this point because in all honesty, this was what I wanted, and I wasn't going to say no like the first time. I just let him do whatever. I craved his touch, and the pleasure he would give me. "Sasuke…" I said his name looking up at him and gave him a quick kiss, just to assure him to go on.
And that was all the coercing he needed. His hands were roaming all over my body; my body temperature started to escalate as I became excited just from that bit of attention. Then he began to kiss my passionately and I started to lose all sense of everything else. When he started to stroke me in between my legs my knees were about to give out, but he had wrapped his other arm around my waist pulling me upwards so that I wouldn't touch the ground. I kept on moaning into his kisses, my eyes closed so tight that if this were a dream, I wished I never woke up and then he stopped abruptly making me involuntarily shudder.
"Why'd you stop?" I asked. A pout on my lips, and he pulled me as he walked backwards, and we collided on the bed. "Oh." I smiled and gave him a chaste kiss before I licked at his lips. "More?" He granted my wish and gave me another passionate kiss before flipping our positions, and having me on my back while he was above me. He started to take off his clothes, baring more skin than ever to me, and I couldn't help but stare at his gorgeous body.
"I'll ask you one more time Naruto, are you sure? You can't go back…you'll always remember this."
I sat up, my eyes gazing into his before I replied, "Then let me not regret it and get inside me already. I don't want to think about it, so shut up." I tugged onto his soft hair an crashed his lips onto my own. It was a vicious battle for dominance in which I relinquished control to Sasuke (as if I had a choice) and lost myself in him. I was starting to drown by the time he was kissing me everywhere that he could and then he started to prepare me.
"Ready?" He asked as he stuck a finger into me. I'm not going to lie it hurt like hell, even with the spit he had coating it, and he added another which increased my discomfort, but he started to try and get me to relax by stroking my pride and glory, having me arch my hips and hum. As he added the third, I cried out due to a huge increase of pleasure as he hit a bundle of nerves. He hit it with his fingers a few more times until I yelled at him to stop playing with me and get inside me. His fingers were replaced with his length that I stared at right before he plunged into me. The fucking thing looked like a huge snake, like a python or something! Okay, maybe I was exaggerating, but he was big, and throbbing, and it was so...there were no real words. And of course he was smirking. "Like what you see?"
I bit my lip and instead of answering him (because I really did like it and I couldn't take his teasing anymore) I forced my legs open wider and moved myself forward, impaling myself on him in one go. I moaned louder than I have in my entire life, and I could hear his sharp intakes of breath, trying to calm himself down before pounding into me prematurely…success. After a few more minutes that felt like eternity, I moved my hips hoping he would take the hint and start thrusting. Thank whatever higher power there was because that's exactly what he started to do, and none too gently I might add. We ended up denting the wall and nearly breaking the bed with the force and speed of our lovemaking and when I climaxed there was nothing but darkness as I scrunched my eyes so tight that I thought I had died and was on my way to heaven.
I opened my eyes slowly to see his python sized cock sliding out of me, which sent me moaning in my afterglow and I tried to catch my breath as he laid next to me, linking our hands together. "God…Sasuke that was fucking incredible!" I panted out, as I looked at him. He was glistening with sweat, and his hair was plastered to his face, covering his eyes, that I moved once I found some strength to move.
He smiled. "Yeah, you really are." He said in between breaths and I beamed at him. Then I looked behind him at the papers that were careless strewn across the room now, and tried to sit up. I groaned at the ripe soreness that was starting to take over from what we had just done and laid back down.
"What's going to happen now?" I stared up at the ceiling, my body relaxing because Sasuke stated to stroke my sides, but my mind was at a great state of unrest.
"What happens next is all up to you. No one can really help you. Are you starting to regret this?" That last sentence he said so low that I almost didn't hear it. I shook my head. I didn't regret anything that had happened so far as meeting him and well…this. I was just worrying about what I was going to tell everyone else now. I sure as hell could not marry Sakura. I knew that now. It wouldn't be right when I'm not in love with her. Sure, I loved her, but the feelings had changed. It wasn't love for a lover, more like a friend, a best friend even. Damn it…she was going to have my head on a silver platter.
"Did you sign those papers Sasuke?"
"Actually Naruto…I have something tell you about our marriage."
His ministrations stopped at I looked at him. "What is it?"
"We didn't really get married, like I had originally thought we did."
I blinked a few times to process what he just told me. We weren't really married? So, all this time I was worrying for nothing? But…why does that hurt my heart more than bring it ease? Did I really want to be married to Sasuke? Sure, I liked him, okay that wasn't right either, I was falling for him and I knew it. But…marriage was something not to toy with, which I had thought we had done and now…it was a lie? Now I really sat up, and brought my knees to my chest despite the fact that I was really sore now. "So…it was all a lie?"
He sat up beside me touching my knees. "My feelings, and words weren't. I had thought we really did get married. It's just…I found the guy who gave us the license. His name is Jiraya, and since last night was a festival, most people end up getting married on a whim, but it means that the next day they have to legitimately get marriage licenses. So, it wasn't a real one like I thought it was. And of course when we went to see him, he wasn't there…he was out chasing girls or something or other. Naruto…are you upset because we're not married or are you relieved?"
I pulled away and rolled off the bed, wincing a little. "I don't know…I've got to do some thinking okay? Go, and wash up if you need to. You know where the bathroom is…I'm going to go out." He was motionless, and I could see a flicker of concern in his eyes, but he didn't voice anything anymore. I went to the bathroom, cleaned myself up, then put on some regular clothes. Gaara had all of my things and speak of the devil once I was finished (and Sasuke had finally got up from the bed and got into the shower) he called me wondering where the hell I was and what had happened. "I'll see you at the hall in a few minutes, okay?" I hung up the phone, left a note to Sasuke asking him to meet me in the front of the hotel in an hour and a half…that's all the time I needed. And I left to the hall.
As Naruto took his leave…(Sasuke's POV)
I heard the door shut close and I had lost it. I sobbed as the warm water cascaded down my face and body, hitting the tiles on the wall repeatedly. I felt like I had lost everything, even though I barely knew him. This was not supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to end like this! My eyes grew red as I continued crying and somewhere along the way I had leaned onto the wall and slid down, sitting there huddled like a mess. "Naruto…I'm sorry…" It was all I could keep repeating as I had just destroyed the one person who had begun to matter to me. It was all over, and I knew it. I don't know how long I had stayed there like that, but soon enough someone had entered the bedroom with a card, and rapped on the door to the bathroom.
"Sasuke, you in there? I was told I would find you here. Come out, we need to talk." What the hell was he doing here? He was supposed to be on the other side of the world, and away from me. He was not supposed to be on this beautiful island and trying to find a way to give me false hope or something or other. I yelled at him to back off and get away. But even I knew he would stop at nothing, which meant he would break down the door if he needed to. "As your loving and caring brother I suggest you get the fuck out of the bathroom and stop acting like a prissy bitch. And I mean right now Sasuke, or else this door will have no hinges."
I sniffed, getting up and turning off the water. Wrapping the second towel in the bathroom around my waist I opened my door before my brother, Itachi, was about to tackle it. "The hell is your problem? Why are you even here anyway?"
He gave me a smirk that matched my own when I was being mischievous, but then again I think that was the only way he had functioned. He always had some stupid scheme up his sleeve. To other people, he was a mature adult and I was the bratty kid brother that was moody for no reason. But in actuality, I was more mature than my older brother, and I was moody because he was so perfect and I was the runt that would always get the short end of the stick. And I knew he was about to talk to me about my problem and rub it in my face. He had never been turned down (well none of the Uchihas ever are, but still) and he was going to act like a total asshole about it.
"I came to bring my support and love for you dear brother. Can't I just come here to see you? Then again, I hear from the staff you're having some love troubles. So, who is he, and how shall I deal with him?" Another point about my brother. He loves me (even if he has weird ways of showing it) and is actually protective of me. Which is annoying because I can take of myself, even though he never believes me.
"It's none of your fucking business. Now let me get dressed in peace."
He pouted at me, which made me scowl even more. "Brother, that's no way to act towards me. I'm just trying to help you, and here you are turning away my services. What kind of loving brother are you? I just want to help is that too much too ask?" He started shimmying, making me rub my temples in aggravation and I by-passed him, gathering my clothes and getting dressed. When I was fully dressed I rolled my eyes at the scene before me. He was still pouting like a child whose candy had been taken away.
"Fine…what do you have in mind?" He smiled happily grabbing my arm, waving a piece of paper in front of my face. I snatched it out of his grasp, and he started bouncing like a kid. It was a letter from Naruto asking me to meet him in an hour and a half, wondering exactly what he could be thinking. What could take that long? Was he going to get married to Sakura? No…I hoped not…but then again, he could. What if the sex we had was his last fling before he married her? I had all of these troubling thoughts running through my head, whizzing past that I didn't notice that Itachi had stopped bouncing and was staring at me curiously. When I came to, I looked at him. "What?"
"You really like this guy." He smiled at me. "I'm going to help you whether you like it or not. So come on princess! Let's get this show on the road!" he grabbed my arm again and I proceeded to be dragged out of the room and down the hall with my deranged brother. God…this was ending up to be the most horrific day of my life…I could tell.
Meanwhile…(Back to Naruto!)
I was standing in front of the hall, looking at the area that Sakura would make her grand entrance and smile happily as she would make her way to me. Then I had a huge knot in my stomach attacking me, as if it saying this isn't right anymore. It's not what you want you idiot! Of course it wasn't what I wanted (I wanted a dark haired bastard that I wasn't married to in the first place as I found out a few moments ago) but I had to think of a plan and fast. That would be the reason that my emerald eyed friend Gaara was coming to see me before my wedding that wasn't happening for two more hours. I knew the girls were all getting ready right now, and hopefully I could speak to Sakura before they were done and everyone would be sitting patiently in the hall…I just hoped that my balls weren't going to be on the line.
I touched them wincing, imagining Sakura doing something particularly violent and shook my head. God, I really hoped Sakura didn't do something to them. I would be so fucked forever…"Naruto!" I looked behind me to see Gaara and Neji coming towards me and I felt somewhat relieved. Gaara would know what to do. He would help me get through this, because that's what great friends do. They help you with the most fucked up things imaginable. "Did everything go well with Sasuke?" He asked as they were both within earshot of me. I fidgeted not knowing exactly how good things were with Sasuke and me now. Neji and Gaara shared a glance before turning back to me.
"Something happened, Naruto?" Neji asked. I bit my lip. I wondered if saying that I had sex with him, then left would count as something that "happened." Well…it did, but…ah! It was so frustrating. I started pulling at my hair again, and Gaara grabbed my hand before I could tear anything out.
"Stop doing that. Did the two of you fight? Is that why you said you would talk to me here?" I stopped and shook my head. He and I didn't fight, it was more like we talked, then I walked out. I furrowed by brows, and pursed my lips. I was really in a pickle. "So the two of you didn't fight…but here you are. Did you both sign the papers?"
I looked at Gaara then down to the floor before mumbling, "We were never really married."
"What do you mean you were never married?" That was Neji.
"Exactly what I said. We were never married. It wasn't something that was finalized or anything. There were no papers to sign."
Gaara sighed. "I figured as much. But your heart is invested in him and not Sakura now. So…you're caught between a rock and a hard place yet again. Naruto…are you really going to marry Sakura when you don't love her like you thought you did. Especially, since you fell for Sasuke?"
"Marrying her isn't even an option anymore. I just…can't. You're right Gaara. I'm too much involved with Sasuke now. But what do I do then?"
Neji walked past me staring at the hall like I was only a few moments before. Then he turned to me and said, "You have to tell her. You need to tell her the truth, no matter how much it's going to hurt her. She may not accept it, but Gaara and I will be there for you afterward. I'll go talk to the others and tell them that the wedding is cancelled. But right now, you've got to do your part. I wish you luck." That's probably about the nicest thing that Neji has ever said to me. I stared at him for a few moments wondering that really came out of his mouth, when Gaara had chuckled, patting me on the back.
"He can be nice when he needs to be. Now go get a move on. We'll deal with everything else. Sakura is already here by the way, her ladies in waiting aren't here yet though. They're all still in the hotel. We'll catch up with them. Good luck, Naruto." Neji and Gaara walked away from me, toward the hotel again, as I waked inside the hall wandering around, until I could see a familiar patch of pink hair, side by side with someone I remembered as Sai. The two of them were talking about something, and I walked right up to the both of them.
"Hey…" They both turned around startled to find me before them, and Sakura hide behind Sai.
"Naruto! It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding! You've got to go!" She was yelling at me behind Sai, and he stared at me with his penetrating gaze.
"Sakura…I have to talk to you. It can't wait. I really need to talk to you about some things…" Sai furrowed his brow which I could imagine Sakura was doing the same. She peeked her head out from behind him and stared at me curiously.
"What do we have to talk about? And why can't it wait until after the ceremony?"
My stomach had tightened in knots even more so, when she poked her head out, and I found it beginning to be difficult trying to talk to her. "Let's just…please. I need to talk to you…" I looked at Sai. "Alone." She finally pulled away from him, and moved towards me, hugging me and trying not to let me go. "Sa-Sakura?" Sai took this as a sign to start leaving, and left without a word. Sakura stood clinging to me for a few more minutes before I was able to push her away slightly. "Sakura…"
"Naruto, is something wrong? Is that why you're here? It's not going to be our wedding day, is it?" her voice was so low and her lip was trembling. I hated it when she cried, it made me feel even worse than before. I couldn't even respond to her, and she just balled her fists on my shirt, and started to hit me softly as if she had no strength. And of course she started shedding tears.
"Sakura, I…" I didn't know what to say. She had guessed that we weren't going to get married. I mean, that could be the only explanation for me being here before the wedding right? "Sakura, I'm just…I'm so sorry." She began to cry even harder and I had to hold her waist, because she was about to fall. My shirt was becoming wet with her tears and I had no idea what to do.
"Who?" She sobbed. It took me a moment to understand what she was going on about. I shook my head.
"Now's not the time-"
"I said who, Naruto!" She looked up at me pitifully. She didn't have any real anger in her voice, just sadness. It was like she was losing a friend more than a lover. I wondered exactly how much she loved me in that moment.
"Answer one question, before I tell you the answer to that one…okay?" She nodded pulling away from me. "Why did you say yes to me? Was it because I asked after such a long time, even though…you knew it wasn't right." She looked down, and that was all the answer I needed. "It's Sasuke."
"Didn't you just meet him?"
"W-well yes, but-" She put her hand up to my lips, covering them before I could even explain myself. She wiped her tears with her other hand and smiled sadly at me.
"He better take good care of you then. He better make you happy, if I couldn't. I don't want to lose my friend Naruto…" I blinked not believing what she just told me. Did she just…give me her blessing? Here I was screwing everything up for someone I had barely known. For someone I had just met, and the girl I knew everything about was just throwing away the wedding we had planned for months…all for my happiness.
"Sakura…why are you-"
"Because, happiness isn't just a one way street. Marrying you would have been a perfect plan, but it's not the correct plan. I've got to think about other things besides marriage you know? I really do wish that I could have worn that beautiful dress, but it'll be a waste now right?" She laughed and sniffed. I couldn't help but take her in my arms, and she responded to the hug after being stunned for about fifteen minutes. "I wish you the best of luck Naruto…I should probably tell everyone."
"Don't worry about them. Neji and Gaara actually went to go and tell everyone."
"They know?" I nodded at her. We started to walk side by side up the aisle and stopped at the altar. There were various flowers and some candles placed on the table before us, and Sakura ran her fingers over the flowers smiling at them. "It would've been a nice dream." I just looked around the hall imagining all of the people who would have been sitting before us, and I looked down the aisle. I blinked not really understanding what I was seeing, and then Sakura turned around to see what I was staring at.
He cleared his throat holding a bouquet of flowers and a scroll in his hands. Beside him was an older version of himself, smiling a little too cheerfully and started to push him to walk toward me. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out, so I immediately closed it again. Sakura moved away from me and started to walk to where he was. They both stopped, facing each other, and then Sakura touched his shoulder, then by-passed him walking to I could only guess was his older brother. As Sakura walked downward he kept coming forward, and I could only stay rooted to the same spot, not believing this was happening.
He stopped right in front of me, holding out the flowers for me to take. "Naruto…will you accept these?" I looked at the bouquet, then took it hesitantly. I could hear Sakura and Sasuke's older brother whooping in the back. I couldn't help but smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, after you left my asshole brother Itachi, ended up breaking into the room and had me go around this island for some flowers and go find Jiraya as well."
"Jiraya? The guy who gave us the marriage certificate that's not real?"
"It's not real…for now, unless…" He opened the scroll showing me a marriage license that had Jiraya's signature, as well as Itachi's, and of course Sasuke's. The only other people who could sign it were myself and Sakura because she would be a witness. "All you have to do is sign it…if you want to that is…but if you don't, I can just rip it and-" I put the flowers on the table, and took a hold of the collar on his shirt, mashing our lips together, then taking the scroll.
I looked at Sakura and Itachi. "Yo, either of you got a pen on you? I want to go to the beach and celebrate this afterward, think I can do this quick?" Sasuke pulled out a pen from his pocket and I signed it. Then I ran to Sakura asking if she would sign it, and she did with a huge grin on her face. Sasuke wrapped his arms around my waist smiling a little, despite trying to keep it in line. I could tell he was trying very hard. Sakura and Itachi laughed at us, then started walking out of the hall together, chatting. Sasuke and I shared a look before following after them, hand in hand.
Time skip!
It's been three whole months since I was "married" to Sasuke, we had signed the papers and everything in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He stayed on the island before going back to Japan for a little while with his brother Itachi (who was getting close to Sakura I might add) and I had to go back home in the United States to get all of my things. Sasuke and I had officially moved to Puerto Rico, near the hotel, with an amazing view of the beach! I was super excited. Now, we were going to have our official wedding day with all of our friends and family present.
Sasuke had wrapped his arms around me nuzzling my neck as we woke up together from our rambunctious lovemaking the night before. It was always passionate and could make anyone blush with the energetic way we did it, as well as the profound swears we liked to call out when we were nearing completion. And of course, it was always sweet in the afterglow, and it made me fall in love with Sasuke over and over again (as if that were even possible) making life perfect. Of course we knew we were only in a honeymoon stage, and we always argued during the day anyway because we were so different from each other, but the fact that he was so different felt more like he was my other half; he was everything that I wasn't.
"What are you thinking about?" He said to me lazily as he leaned onto me, making me stroke his hair, lovingly.
"Today, and the rest of our lives?"
"I never pegged you for such a romanticist."
"Funny, I thought the same thing for you, when you gave me that bouquet of flowers three months ago." He stuck his tongue out at me, a horrible habit he picked up from being with me, and started to get out of the bed, stretching his body in all of it's naked glory. "Can we just stay here today? I really like the way you look right now."
"Horny as ever, Naruto."
"I can't help it, if you make me horny baby." I waggled my eyebrow and he laughed throwing a pillow at me.
"Neji and Gaara will be here any minute to come and get me and you. All we can do is shower and get dressed."
"Shower together?" I said hopefully. He nodded, beckoning me to follow him, which I didn't think twice about. After our shower (trying to clean each other off and ended up having shower sex) we got dressed and Gaara and Neji had finally arrived. They had everything ready, and were going to get us in our suits and everything else we needed for our wedding.
"Finally the two of you are ready. We've been waiting outside forever. What were you two doing?" Neji asked. I smiled widely and Sasuke smirked. "Nevermind, I don't think I want to know." Gaara shook his head, trying to get the thoughts out of his head.
We ended up at the hall yet again and Sasuke and I went our separate ways with Gaara and Neji. (Me with Gaara, Sasuke with Neji) The girls had insisted on being bridesmaids and walking out before me, while Sasuke would be walking with the groomsmen. I didn't even argue about it (well I did but he made me shut up about it easily) and just decided to go along with it. After another hour of getting everyone dressed and prepared, the wedding started and the ladies began to go down the aisle. I followed soon after, trying hard not to smile too much, even though I was so excited. I beamed at Sasuke down the aisle, and when I finally got to him, I could help but take his hand eagerly. He smiled back at me, just as excited as I was, and we faced Jiraya who began the ceremony.
An hour later, we were finally married and the party began! Everyone was enjoying themselves and I caught a lot of people dancing together, wondering who was going to end up getting together for the night. Kiba and Hinata were dancing, as well Sakura and Itachi, then there was Neji and Gaara, and Shikamaru and Ino. Sai had ended up chatting up Chouji and Rock Lee, and a few other guys as well. I could see my caretakers Kakashi and Iruka talking as well as Sasuke's parents with them. The entire night, I was by my husband's side, knowing exactly where I always wanted to be.
As the last song played, we danced together slowly, my arms around his neck and his around my waist. "Think this could be the start of something amazing?" I whispered to him.
"It's not the start. It started when I first met you, moron." I scrunched my nose at the insult and stuck out my tongue to which he did the same thing right back. I could help but chuckle. He was so cute sometimes. Then he leaned in and captured my lips in a kiss, and everyone in the hall applauded. Yes…this was definitely where I always wanted to be.
~THE END!~
More Author's Notes: I thank all of you readers out there for taking the time to read this. Your words really did make me smile, and I am glad that you have enjoyed this. There is now a poll on my profile about whether or not you would like to see a sequel so please do go and vote if you could. It would help me a lot.
Hmm, let's see if I can clarify anything before you might ask. Remember in chapter one Kiba had seen the marriage papers (license) and thought it was a legitimate document? Well, it was, but the contract is void after 24 hours because of that festival. If it were any other time, it wouldn't be void, and they wouldn't have to do it over again. None of them read the fine print for it (believe me it would be in there because of that festival) so none of them had actually known about it until Sasuke found Jiraya. I hope that clears it up for you guys.
Oh and I forgot to say something in the first chapter as well: The whole festival was inspired by the movie "Blame it on Rio." If you haven't seen it. go watch it! Michael Caine is hilarious!
Also, sorry if there are any grammatical errors!
Bye Bye!~ *waves*
