Hello everyone, and welcome to Death Do Us Part! This is my very first SasuHina and my first time posting a story on fanfiction. This story is set in an AU, and it is rated for strong language and possible inappropriate situations. I am not sure how people will respond to the story, so I'm posting the epilogue for now. It is short, but I don't want to give too much away so soon.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! I AM MERELY JUST A FAN WHO HAS TOO MUCH TIME ON HAND.

.~Prologue~.

I knew that the moment we locked eyes, we were meant to be. We barely know each other, but that doesn't matter.

When you walked next to me that day, I could feel your warm body heat on me. I'd never felt something quite like it.

I remember when you held my hand as we crossed the slippery wet street. Your skin was rough and soft at the same time. I couldn't understand it, but at the moment, I really didn't care.

We shared an umbrella together, so I could never forget the sound of your breathing as you stood so close to me. The hard drops of the rain couldn't drown you out even if it tried.

You walked me all the way home because you wanted me to get there safely. You asked me if anyone was home, and promised to stay with me until someone arrived. I should have lied and told you no, that no one was in the house. Then, maybe you would have stayed a little longer.

Before you left, you placed your large hand on my head and ruffled my hair. I know I should have been upset with such a childish gesture, but I didn't mind at all. In fact, I'd hoped that you would have done it again.

But you didn't.

You waited until I went inside, and then you left. I rushed up to my bedroom and watched you leave. I could only see the top of your umbrella, but I knew it was you underneath. The bright orange color stood out in the dark and gloomy weather.

At that moment, I could feel something inside of me bursting with joy. I thought about you for hours. Every time your soft blue eyes crossed my mind, my heart sped up. When I remembered how blonde your hair had been, I'd regretted not running my fingers through it.

I spent days trying to forget about our encounter, but I couldn't. I often found myself day dreaming about you and the way you made me feel that day.

After a few more weeks of thinking about you nonstop, I realized that I cared about you. I loved you.

It sounds silly, I know, but it's the truth! I could never mistake such a powerful feeling.

I was hopelessly in love with you, Naruto Uzumaki.
