The Shadow's Fox

Chapter 14

Well, here it is. The Wedding Chapter! For this chapter I wanted to do a traditional Japanese wedding, but since I am not Japanese, never been to a Japanese wedding, and only know how it goes from videos I found on the internet and webpages, I feel like I didn't get it exactly right. I also think I added some western style parts to it, though not very much. So I just want to apologize now if I did something wrong, and you can correct me, but I still hope you all enjoy it.

Warning: Mature scene in this chapter

Naruto paced back and forth in the room he was in, occasionally looking up at his montsuki outfit. It was his wedding day, and boy was he nervous.

'Will you calm down already?' Kurama said, annoyed. Naruto had summoned him not long after they reached the room, but he was now laying on the side of the room just watching Naruto pace. Right now, he was the size of a large dog.

Naruto stopped and looked over at Kurama. "How can I? I'm getting married."

'Exactly. You're getting married, not going out to fight to your death. Stop pacing.'

Naruto rubbed his hands together and sat down on a small stool. He stared at his montsuki, a light orange montsuki kimono, with a darker orange haori, which had little black Uzumaki clan swirls on it, his family crest, a black obi that peeked out under his black and white striped hakama, and the tabi socks and setta sandals laying underneath it. His leg bounced up and down quickly, and he finally stood back up and started pacing again.

A knock was heard before the door opened to reveal Jiraiya walking in. "Hey, kiddo," the man said with a smile and hand raised.

"Pervy Sage!" Naruto yelled and ran over to the man, bashing into the guy and wrapping his arms tightly around him. "Why the heck were you gone so long?"

Jiraiya rubbed the boys back. "Sorry, kid. Took longer than I thought."

Naruto stepped back and glared at him. Jiraiya did show up not long after Shikadai's second birthday, but then disappeared again only a day later. "Three months? On top of being gone almost six months before that?"

Jiraiya rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry. The Akatsuki are very difficult people to track. I lost them several times."

Naruto relaxed. "What did you find out?" he asked, a bit worried about the answer.

"Nothing you need to worry about right now. Aren't you getting married in an hour? Why aren't you dressed?"

Naruto looked back over to his montsuki. "Uh, I..."

'He's been pacing around, overthinking things, all morning,' Kurama replied, still annoyed, his head laying on his arms.

Naruto blushed. "Hey, this is a big step."

"Well, if you think about it, you are doing this out of order," Jiraiya said.

Naruto looked back at the man, an eyebrow raised. "Out of order? What do you mean?"

"Well, kid, normally a couple doesn't have a kid and move in with each other until after the wedding, and they definitely don't have sex."

Naruto's face went bright red. "Pervy Sage!"

Jiraiya shrugged. "What? I'm just stating the facts." He walked over to the montsuki that was hanging on the wall and picked it up, holding it out to the blonde. "Come on, let's get you ready."

Naruto took a deep breath then smiled as he walked over. Jiraiya helped him to put all the pieces of the montsuki on, and as they finished fastening the hakama around Naruto's waist, another knock sounded.
