A/N: This is actually the official ending of the story I had in mind when I was in the process of writing Little Things, I have decided that the first chapter will be the official one. Ya'll can freely read this if you want, but if you're already contented with the ending in the first chapter, then it's alright if ya'll won't read this anymore. I'm really sorry if the ending's kind of sad, but I did tried to make it somewhat happy in this chapter ^_^ I'm glad that Minato0077 appreciated it. And I hope that you'll like this not-so-happy-but-happy ending, Zatheko ^_^

It's been a week since I've read his letters that day. And I immediately head back to the province, in hope to see him there sitting on the railing, playing his old guitar. But all I saw was an empty house, with all the furniture covered with white cloth. All the picture frames and albums were kept in a box with my name written on it. But it wasn't his handwriting.

A month had already that time passed since Naruto left the world. And Ino was the one who took care all of his things. The moment Ino left me when she delivered his last letter to my apartment, she head to the house that use to be ours, and cleaned all our things, placed them neatly inside the boxes, and piled them all the corner. She did not even bother to tell me before hand. And now I am stuck in accepting the fact that I will never see him again.

I thought he was physically and mentally well? It makes me want to loath him for not telling me his condition, despite of the promise that we made for each other. He did not even bother to tell me that his kidney is slowly failing him. And now what should I do? Stare at these boxes and accept the fact that I will never see him again?

Why can't he just... Is really that hard to approach me? What he did before hurts me, but secretly dying behind my back kills me. And now as I stood still in front of the piled boxes that I am not allowed to touch – Ino doesn't even know I'm here. But my hands are itching to open them – I wanted to feel you once more, to hear you again. I... I wanted to be with you. And I would do anything just to be with you again, even if it would cost my life. And I am not afraid to take my life if all else failed. But you wouldn't want that, huh?

Now all I could do is stare at these boxes... Yes, the boxes.

That was before. And I can safely say that since that day, I have never found someone that would replace you in my heart. I became a doctor that specializes in kidney, to be able to help people, and maybe give them another chance to live, the life you should have continued living. I never stopped thinking about you, Naruto. I've even memorized the only letter you gave me. You were the reason why I kept living. But you're the only reason why I closed my doors permanently to all the men who wanted to win my heart, because no one can ever replace you here, no one.

Fifty-five years had already passed. I retired in our old house five years ago and lived all by myself. I was happy. And still am. And now that my time would soon end, I want you to be the one who would take me where you are. And together, we will live happily, ne? No problems, no hindrances, just me and you, together forever. A fairy tale ending for our fairy tale love story.

"Heh, are you ready?" The blond asked as he sat by the edge of the bed, eyes locked at the green ones of the rosette. The rosette was surprise to see him early in the morning. Ironic thing is that she was thinking of him that very moment, and she was so amazed how youthful he looks. She felt embarrassed because of her old face and looked down. But the blond cupped her face, and leaned his forehead to hers, and whispered in the softest voice he could make. "You're still beautiful, my Sakura." And with that, he stood up and reached out his hand that the rosette happily held without any doubts, without any fear, for she is now with the man she loves.

And as their hands entwined, Sakura felt youthful once more. And the feeling she has right now, is so much like the first time they stroll together with hands entwined. But this time, she knows for sure that this would last.

End.

A/N 2: I'm really sorry if ya'll have false hope and was not expecting death in the story. Though I am greatly thankful to all of you for reading my fic, I really appreciate it.

Though I kind of have a question, and it is somewhat bothering me. Wouldn't such thing be considered happy, the fact that the person you love the most is the very same person that will fetch you as your time approaches? My point is that, even though both will eventually die in the end, they will be together forever, though not in real world. They may have not met when Naruto was still alive but she is seeing him as her time draws near. And Naruto did not die during Sakura's monologue, he already died. I still considered this as angst because even though the whole plot of this chapter will soon lead to Sakura's death if prolonged, Naruto was the one who died, and not Sakura, and she is still alive. But the fact that she's seeing Naruto already means that her time is really near, but I did not kill her in this chapter, so no tragedy happened. :D

I hope ya'll consider my perspective regarding the story, tags, and all. We all have our own view on things, so I will respect if ever some of ya'll disagrees with my view, no hard feelings :)

Take care ya'll :D
