14 Chapter 14 (2/2)
The ceremony was going well and only the final stage is yet to happen, the exchange of the bride's and groom's sake. The two golden cups of sake are on the table, waiting to be drunk by the groom and bride.
But in all of a sudden, countless of fireworks shot up right to the sky from behind the wedding ceremony. During this time, all attention are distracted giving Kagura and Hanabi to switch positions.
The chief believes that the fireworks is a sign of good luck but at this very moment, he senses something bad. They all turned their attention back to the couple who is now holding the cup of sake. They only have little time and they'll be announced as husband and wife but when the two of them is about to drink, the chief interrupted them.
Kagura and Hayabusa could not keep still. The groom suddenly felt that tje gut feeling that has been bothering him since the moment he woke up is now happening.
”Stop the ceremony!” the chief yelled which made a commotion. ”Take off the headdress of the bride!”
No one dared did his order for it is a disrespect if the woman's headdress is removed by another man.
”You dare fool me and people! This is a shameful act!” Chief Haruno announced as he takes off the headdress of Kagura which revealed her silver-coloured hair.
”Do you think you could fool me?” the chief asked. ”Hanabi is much taller than you are. She also have dark hair. Do you know the consequences of your actions?”
The chief looked at Hayabusa and Kagura who held each other's hand for support. ”Imprison them! Soldiers, search for Hanabi.”
Kagura's mother came running to her and stopped the ninjas who are straining her daughter but a pair of soldiers came to restrict her.
On the other hand, Hanabi is riding the hazelnut-coloured horse going out of the Shadow sect village and is heading back to her town.
”Where is Hanabi?” Kagura impatiently scoffed while inside the prison while Hayabusa is imprisoned across her cell.
”I should have known,” he said with gritted teeth.
”Known what?” the woman asked.

”Hanabi made us her escape goat, she took advantage of our situation and left us,” he replied. ”From the very beginning, she is actually planning to leave the village. It all makes sense now as to why she wanted to rush the wedding.”
”It is not good for her as well to leave the village. She'll be devastated upon seeing the current Scarlet village. It'll be her karma,” Kagura said.
After some time, footsteps echoed through the hallway, and the two guessed that the chief is now on his way.
Hayabusa regretted in taking their plan into action. He should have considered that their plan would fail. He should have considered the fact that Hanabi is only using them to escape. Now that everything happened, they'd have to face the wrath of Chief Haruno. Will Kagura be able to take the pain of their punishment? That is his most concern.
