Chapter Sixteen

A/N: It is now Naruto Shippuden! There has been a time skip. :)

Forever and Always

Present:

I lay on the couch in the lounge area in our new base. It's been many months since Itachi proposed and honestly, I've been living the best life since.
     I still remember when we returned to the base and saw everyone's expressions, the day will always be in my memory and man, was it funny!

Flashback:

"What?!" Hidan exclaimed as I let my ring expose itself to them. "When did this happen- Itachi...?" We all looked over to him and he was chuckling, he grabbed my other hand and intertwined our fingers. A serene smile was placed on his beautiful features as he then kissed my hand, I heated up.
"I knew this would happen, hn. Always wondered when, un. How artistic, Itachi, I commend you, hn." Deidara stated as he put a hand on his chin, he nodded continuously and Hidan gave him a glare.
"Am I the only one who didn't fucking know this was gonna happen?! I thought they were only in it for the sex!" Hidan exclaimed as Tobi smacked his head with a fan.
"Hidan-senpai! Congratulate Itachi-senpai instead of yelling! Congratulations, Itachi-senpai, Y/N-senpai!" He shouted at Hidan and us, we merely chuckled.
"Congrats, Kiddo, I never thought you'd be the one to conquer the ice king." Kisame patted me on the back and Kakuzu looked over his shoulder.
"I wonder the amount the ring would sell for..." I glared at Kakuzu and shook my head.
"No." I simply stated as I shooed him away.
"Congratulations, Y/N, Itachi, I hope you both lead wonderful lives." Sasori simply stated before leaving, an unreadable expression placed on his face.
"It still gives me chills when I realize he's a puppet." I whispered to Itachi, who merely nodded in agreement.
     "Congratulations, Y/N, Itachi." Konan stated monotonously as she bowed, to which we bowed back. Pain walked forward.
     "Congratulations to you both. Itachi?" Pain beckoned him forward and put a hand on his shoulder, whispering something in his ear to which Itachi lost his smile. Itachi nodded with his usual expression and I could see a bit of hesitation in him.

End Of Flashback:

I smiled and looked up at Konan, who was doing my hair for my big day. Yup! Today's my wedding day. Time flies, right?
"Is it almost done, Konan?" I asked with a nervous tone, Konan merely chuckled and I smiled. This is the first time I've ever heard her laugh.
"Almost." She stated before she continued, hesitant. "I've always wondered how it feels like to love someone, can you... tell me?" I felt Konan's fingers work a little faster, showing that she was a little nervous.
"Of course." I smiled at her sigh of relief, her fingers working at a normal pace now. "Love is when you care for someone, possibly more than your life, and you'd do anything for them."
"Of course, there are different types of love, but I'll tell you about the romantic kind. Romantic love fills your heart to the brim, it makes you warm all around and you always think about that person."
"You think about being with them, caring for them and showing them affection. When you love someone, you do everything possible for them to be happy."
"And last of all, when you're around them, it makes you happy." I finished as I felt her fingers working slower. "You know, you and Pain should get together. I'd like to see that."
"Oh, no, no, no, he's much too busy and... he doesn't see me that way I can assure you." Konan quickly replied as her fingers picked up pace and left my hair.
     "You never know, Konan." I replied with a smirk as she pulled me up off the couch to show me how it looks. "Wow," I paused, my mouth agape. "I look so different! My hair looks beautiful, thank you Konan!"  I bowed a bit and she bowed back, a smile plastered on her features.
Kisame peeked his head into the lounge area, he spotted me and Konan pretty quickly. "Hey Kiddo, when're you going to be ready? Itachi's so nervous I can see him getting ready to kick the bucket! It may not look it, but I can read Itachi pretty easily, you know." Kisame chuckled and I did too.
"Oh, Kisame! Just tell em I have the dress and I'm done, I'm not wearing that white powder on my face." I waved him off and he chuckled, nodding. Once he left, Konan took out the carefully embroidered kimono and left it in my hands.
I set it down and she helped me put on the layers underneath, which felt like ten more pounds, and I put on the kimono by myself afterwards. She tied the soft, silk obi and created paper flowers to decorate my hair with.
She put the red lipstick on me, much to my reluctance and dismay may I add, and hauled me out the door.
The shrine we created, or more like Pain created, stood tall and proud; the colors that Konan had painted on showed themselves beautifully in a display of art. I smiled as I saw Itachi, in the traditional Japanese wedding montsuki, visibly loosen up.
Every Pain stood by Itachi, accompanied with every male member except Tobi. Where was he? You guessed it! On my side, waving a fan around and calling me over repeatedly with the accompany of goofy dancing.
I chuckled and walked forward with Konan, who left me with Itachi and went to stand beside Tobi.
We decided to wear traditional wedding attire, but we wanted to do something different than the usual. When I told Deidara this, he beamed with inspiration and decided to plan this all out for us.
     Itachi grabbed my hands and searched my face for any signs of nervousness, there was none. He smiled at me and I smiled back as Hidan sighed and stepped in front of the shrine, to our side looking at our hands.
     "The Akatsuki is gathered here today- Wait, why the fuck am I doin' this? Deidara, why'd you hafta put me in it?" Hidan looked at Deidara, who gave him the glare of his life. "Yeah, yeah, okay."
     He cleared his throat and looked at me, I smiled at him and he scoffed. "The Akatsuki is gathered here today to celebrate the union of Y/N L/N and Itachi Uchiha, if you have any problems with this pairing then shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down because I'll kill you; no problems? Okay, cool." I facepalmed loudly and Hidan chuckled.
     "Okay, so, onto the next part. Y/N and Itachi, you will share a sentence about how much you care for one another. Simple, right? Okay, go on, Y/N, and hurry the hell up."
     "Itachi, you know that I love you and I always will, thank you for being my everything." I brought his face forward and kissed him on the cheek.
     "Itachi." Hidan looked at Itachi and they both nodded.
     "Y/N, thank you for sticking by my side, I adore you and you better know that." Itachi pulled me forward into an embrace and kissed my forehead lovingly.
     "Itachi, Y/N, by the power invested in Jashin, I pronounce you husband and wife. Itachi, if you get a second wife I'm going to kill you. Now then, kiss the fucking bride!"
     Itachi grabbed my hand and spun me around quickly, he put his arms around my waist and kissed me while everyone clapped.
     "I love you, Y/N." Itachi whispered as he embraced me tightly. I smiled at him.
"Forever and always?" I asked bringing out a pinkie, he chuckled and put out his.
"Forever and always." Itachi stated as he wrapped his pinkie around my'n and kissed my cheek.
