So this is an epilogue for the NejiIno story, "Could It Be Jealousy?" But you don't actually have to read the story to get the basis of it.

Part 1 is totally kid-safe. Possibly teen, but I would think it was K-rated.

Part 2 is not, and is why the story is rated M. Although, the lemon isn't anything explicitly detailed. It's like a mini-lemon. Haha.

Leave a review, and I will definitely reply to it(:

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Just in case you hadn't noticed, you know? xD

Epilogue

Part One: What Happened Next

"Marry me?"

It only took me a few seconds to squeal, jumping into his arms happily. "Yes!"

He took me by the waist, twirling me around in the air and laughing, planting a kiss on my smiling lips when my feet touched the ground.

When we pulled away, he smiled down at me brightly, taking the ring and placing it on my finger. I couldn't help but giggle and smile even more. I'm marrying Neji Hyuuga…! I thought joyously. I didn't even try to stop myself; I hugged him tight, the smile never leaving my lips.

The paper fell from my hands as he hugged me back, tucking my head under his chin. I had been happy before, but never to this extent. Tears spill from my eyes.

He tilts my head up to wipe them away, smile ever present. " I love you," he tells me.

The response was automatic, but it was nothing less than the truth. "I love you, too."

He kissed me softly, hand under my chin.

But just as the kiss was deepening, kids and parents and relatives and family friends of all sorts started to pour out of the gymnasium doors. My mother was smiling, tears rolling down her face. I think even my stony father had a tear in his eye as he held my mom.

"Do they already know…?" I ask Neji quietly.

He nods. "I'm kind of old fashioned," he says with a laugh.

I look up. "You mean you asked his permission?"

He grins but says nothing.

I laugh, hugging him tighter.

Hinata and Sakura's voices barely make it to my ears. "So cute…"

"Adorable. They'll be so happy…"

I beam. So everyone knows… I strangely, I didn't care. I was overwhelmed by absolute happiness. I was marrying Neji Hyuuga.

My parents, along with Hiashi, Sakura, and Hinata, made their way over to us. "So," Hiashi said. "I take it you said yes."

I nodded excitedly.

He smiles more brightly than I had ever seen the cold man smile before. "I am delighted. Welcome to the family."

Hinata hugged me tight. "We're going to be cousins!" she exclaimed.

I hugged back. "Hinata, we're going to be like sisters."

Both Neji and Hinata smiled at that.

Sakura joined in the hug. "God, I'm so happy for you, Ino," she told me, tearily. "But you had better be inviting me to the wedding!"

I laugh. "You will. Don't you worry."

She smiles.

We all smile.

After the ectsasy had faded, I was a little begruding of them paying for college. But Neji finally got me to budge enough to make me allow them to pay fo it for me (but only on the condition that I was going to the same college as Neji.)

Yeah. I'm going to the same college as Neji.

Harvard.

Wow.

Neji and I got a little apartment a few blocks away from campus, and two nice cars. Both of us are working: him in at the airport, loading baggage on and off of the planes, me at a daycare with almost fifty loveable bundles of joy.

We finished our freshman year of college with outstanding GPAs. And, on May 23rd, we were married.

The place was beautiful: located in a park on the outskirts of town, with a fountain in the middle, flowers lining the walkways. There were Cala Lillies, my favorite flower, everywhere.

It' was nighttime, with the stars twinkling brightly overhead. The tents were white silk, thin enough to see through them. The guestlist was just family and friends, but it was a well-sized guestlist considering the size of Neji's family and the number of my friends.

My bridesmaids, Hinata, Tenten, and Temari, were dressed in a soft powder blue, and Sakura in a slightly more viberant tone of the same color as my maid of honor.

Neji chose Naruto for his best man, as the two had gotten closer after Hinata and him had gotten engaged as well.

I had all the four somethings. Something old: my grandmother's flowery lace veil. Something new: the pearly white dress I wore. Something borrowed: Hinata's silver hairpins. Something blue: a silk bow tied into my hair.

When I looked at myself in the mirror right before I had to walk, I saw something I hadn't seen before. I saw a woman that was beautiful: not just because of the curves and colors of her face, but because of the happiness in her eyes. I was happy: happier than I ever had been before.

I'll never forget the look I saw in Neji's eyes when he first saw me. I saw him draw in a breath, holding a hand to his chest. I smiled brightly. He was beautiful to me.

And when he held my hand in front of that altar, when we read our vows, when we slid the rings onto each other's fingers… it was magic. If magic was ever to exist in this world, it was when his lips sealed over mine: when we were finally wed together, and were bound together forever. In that moment, there was nothing I could not have done.

When we broke apart, my husband wrapped his arms around me and spun me in the air like he had when he asked me to marry him.

My husband…

Hinata was the one to catch my boquet. She looked over at Naruto and they both smiled.

The night was easily the happiest of my life. For the first time in probably my whole life, I saw my father cry as he danced with me. He said he was expecting grandchildren before he died. I laughed at that, but nodded.

And then Neji turned to me. "Might I have this dance?"

I beamed at him. "Of course you may."

He pulled me into his arms, and everything was perfect. We danced the rest of the night.

And when it was all over, we got in the cab and headed home after the croud had finished their goodbyes. I fell asleep laying on Neji's shoulder, more happy and calm than I had ever been before.
