Last Chapter everyone! The end to my first multiple chapter fic. Yay~ I got through it!
~Thousand Years Later~
It was another Dinner with both Courts together. They've been having more of them since everyone found their Mate.
Lee and Sakura immediately did their Mating Ceremony. Lee said that they were too youthful to wait any longer or something like that. Sakura just said she couldn't deny Lee anything. Their Ceremony was held that Fall, and, though Ino, who reacquainted her friendship with Sakura now that they weren't fighting over the same guy, complained that it was too fast to do anything spectacular, Sakura would defend till the end of eternity that it was perfect. Lee would agree with her, because he said nothing looked more beautiful than his Sakura, who spent the entire Ceremony with bright gold and deep red leaves tangled in her pink hair.
Next came Neji and Gaara. Their Mating Ceremony was a bit…unusual. They held it at the beach where Gaara first kissed Neji, and, at the end, they made it rain sand and water to symbolize their coming together. While no one complained then, not wanting to ruin the Ceremony, Ino and Sakura would complain about it for the rest of their lives. Naruto thought it was cute, making the Sand God blush as bright as his hair when he told him so. Then Neji smirked and said "Yes, yes he his." Gaara would blush some more but he always smiled back at Neji. It was Neji's confidence that allowed Gaara to claim that he had the best Ceremony of them all.
At Shino's and Kiba's Ceremony, it was a bit cramped since Kiba had one of every animal there. Neji teased about having to swat fleas off him the entire time, but Kiba only rolled his eyes and grinned. Then he would remark "At least none of them tried to eat you." Neji would see the twinkle in Kiba's eyes and he could never figure out if Kiba was joking or not. Shino constantly worried that the Ceremony wasn't good enough, but all it took was a kiss from Kiba to shut him up. Then he would mumble that nothing could have made the day better and Shino would smile before picking him up, bridal style, to ravish him back at their domain.
Naruto claimed that his Ceremony was the most beautiful. When the Sun and the Moon came together to create an Eclipse, no one could really argue with him. But then Naruto would claim that the most beautiful thing there was Sasuke's smile and there, people could argue because not one of them saw it. Anytime they looked at Sasuke, he was smirking down at Naruto. Naruto would just give them a confused look, because anytime he looked at Sasuke, all he saw was the softest, smallest, most genuine smile he had ever saw. When Sasuke was asked about it he would just 'hn' and smirk. But when they lied together in their bed, Sasuke would whisper that his smile was only for Naruto.
Shikamaru's and Ino's Ceremony came much later, part of it because Ino was trying to make it perfect and part of it because Shikamaru was too lazy to plan anything. But when the day did come, not once did they catch Shikamaru sleeping and everyone agreed that Ino looked radiant and just like what a Goddess of Summer should look like. Almost everyone agreed that the best part was when the butterflies carried Ino in, though Kiba and Naruto thought the best part was when Shikamaru put everyone to sleep so he could carry a blushing-and loud- Ino to their domain.
The only ones not Mated were Iruka and Kakashi. They were still taking it slow for Iruka, who always apologized to Kakashi. Kakashi instantly hushed him and told him to take as long as he needed. Though Tsunade didn't stop asking them when they were going to have their Ceremony anytime they got together. Like now.
Kakashi sighed. "I don't know why I have to keep telling you this, but I'm waiting for Iruka to make the decision. I don't want to rush him."
Tsunade frowned at the answer she always received and glanced at the empty chair next to Kakashi. "Where is Iruka?"
Kakashi was about to shrug when the doors opened to reveal the Love God.
"Ah, Iruka, we were just talking about you." Kakashi said before his stopped and his eyes widened.
Iruka smirked as he leant down to give Kakashi a light kiss. "Sorry, had some stuff to take care of."
Kakashi couldn't stop staring, and, if he didn't have his mask on to see for sure, Iruka could have sworn his mouth was hanging down. "What's the matter?" He asked innocently, though his eyes were anything but innocent.
Before Kakashi could answer, they heard Naruto, who had stopped talking to Ino (yes, they did renew their friendship and it had enough tears and hugs and "Besties!" to embarrass both Sasuke and Shikamaru) long enough to notice the Love God's presence, ask "Hey, Iruka, what happen to that scar on your nose."
Iruka just smirked.
Later, when everyone decided to return to their domains, Tsunade smiled as she drank her wine. She had a feeling that another Ceremony was coming up and she couldn't be more pleased.
"My, my, what a big head we have." Jiraiya mocked, though it was anything serious. He enjoyed when his Mate was like this, it usually made it easier to get what he wanted.
Tsunade mocked glared at him, but it was ruined by the smirk she had on. "Why shouldn't I be? Thanks to me, both of our Courts are happy at last."
"You know they did all the real work, right?" Jiraiya pointed out.
"Big words from someone who wants to have sex later." Tsunade replied, smirking when Jiraiya tripped over himself trying to apologize. She smirked again.
Yes, she was defiantly pleased by how things turned out.
