Wedding day...

Neji's thoughts...

We have sprayed sleeping gas before entering the bungalow... Tonari has already left for the church making our rescue mission easier. My hands almost shake thinking about Hanabi. His bodyguards lay unconscious on the floor as we checked all the rooms carefully. My heart shrank as we found all the rooms empty. Even storeroom was searched but.... Everything went in vain. My heart skipped a beat when one of the officer came up to me panting.

Officer : S-She in the g-garage b-but...

Before he could complete his sentence I ran down the stairs as fast as possible entering the garage. To my utter horror I found her hands and legs tied up while being blindfolded. Walking up to her I untied her opening the cloth covering her eyes. She looked me in horror as I removed the tape from her mouth. It was at that time when I noticed a time bomb attached to her with the help of a belt fitted above her waist. My pulse rate increases as I heard my heart beats. My mouth dries up as I hurriedly opens it. Taking it in my hands I went towards the rescue team with a pale face.

Me : Go... And throw it away.

Officer 1 : Are you out of your mind Neji?! Throw where? What if he activates it?!

Officer 2 : Many will die!

Officer 3 : We gotta defuse it!

Me : Then call the defusing squad! What are you waiting for?!

Hinata's Thoughts....

I was looking out of the window sadly waiting for Toneri when the door is opened and someone walked in.

Naruto's Voice : Is this necessary? I mean Neji is trying his best to find Hanabi ya know!

Ignoring him, I looked at the door as Toneri entered the room.

Wrapping his left hand around me and holding my hand in his hand he almost tries to kiss me to my great annoyance.

Toneri : Shall we proceed my beautiful wife?

Me : (pushing him away) We should get going. Everyone is waiting for us.

Walking towards the door I looked at Naruto for a moment.

"Am sorry Naruto kun. "

Even while we stood in front of the priest in the wedding chapel I only hoped for a miracle to happen. All my friends have filled up the front row clearly showing that they're against this marriage with their facial expressions. We were about to take our marriage vows when Gaara entered the room and walked towards us. Sakura stands looking at Gaara kinda annoyed and worried at the same time.

Sakura : Where did you disappeared since yesterday night?

Gaara : Come with me Naruto.

Naruto : Huh?

Gaara starts walking towards us as he took out a check and handed over to Toneri.

Gaara : The amount Mr Hyuuga borrowed from you. It would be better if you leave now.

Me : Naruto Kun....

Toneri : Did you really think I have done all these just for money? I love Hinata more than anything.... She will marry only me...

Gaara : Wtf! Just take the money and get lost!

Toneri : If she don't marry me then... (Takes out a remote) I will press this button and kill Hanabi!

Neji : *entering* It's useless. We have already rescued her. So it would be better if you surrender. We may go easy on you.

Me : (walking towards Naruto with teary eyes) Naruto kun... Missed you....

Naruto : Hinata.... (His eyes becomes wider as he turns pale with fear) Hinata! Look behind!

Before I could turn around Toneri roughly caught hold of my hair and pointed a gun on my head. Soon the people in the chapel starts screaming in fear. I could hear my heartbeats as sweat drops appeared on my forehead. He points his gun towards Naruto as he tries to save. I gulped a spit ball as my throat dried up. My body starts shaking in fear.

Naruto : If you want. Then kill me. But don't harm Hinata.

Me : N-No Naruto kun. Don't say like that!

Naruto : Don't worry Hinata... Kill me Toneri.

Toneri : Are you a psycho?

Naruto : I can't live without her. So it's better to die.

Toneri : *confused* Are you for real? (Laughs a bit)

Finding him off-guard motioning towards him Neji caught hold of his wrist. Diverting his aim making him shoot towards the ceiling and takes away his gun before finally putting handcuffs. I ran towards Naruto giving him a warm hug before both of us broke into a cry. Toneri looked at us smirking a bit.

Toneri : Hope we meet again in the future Naruto.

Neji dragged him out of the church as everyone walked towards us. Tears of joy appeared on Sakura's face as she grins.

Sasuke's Thoughts....

Getting on the stage I grabbed the microphone as a loud cheer came from the audience.

I start singing as sweat drops appeared on my forehead and my breathe started becoming heavy. Even among all these loud voices my ears only searched for that sweet melody..

"Sasuke kun... "

Sakura? My eyes searched for her among the crowd... What was that just now? Am I really missing her that much that I am hallucinating?.... I started feeling dizzy and cough out blood. I could hear my band mates screams as I started loosing consciousness.

"Goodbye... Sakura.... "

Sakura's thoughts....

"Sasuke kun.... "

What was that just now?.... Why am I having a bad feeling? My heart started beating faster than usual. I hope he is alright...

Ino : Go and get ready for your wedding Naruto.

Naruto : Nani?!

Ino : hey forehead! You didn't tell him about it?! Um.. Sakura?... Hey what's wrong?

Me : Huh? What happened?

Ino : You seem lost.

Me : Am sorry.

Gaara : We have prepared for your and Hinata's wedding so go and get ready.

Naruto : Really?! You people are so great!

Me : We will be waiting for you.

Naruto : Give me five minutes.

The moment he exits from the spot my phone starts ringing. Receiving it I heard a serious voice of Lady Tsunami coming from the other side.

Lady Tsunade : Sakura. I have a bad news for you. It's about Sasuke. He may not survive. I would suggest you to come here as soon as possible.

Phone almost dropped from my hand as I started tearing up.

"Am sorry Naruto... I can't attend your wedding...."
