Chapter 9: My Story has just finally begun…

EPILOGUE

"Sai, do you take Sakura to-" the priest was cut off with a smiling Sai.

"I do". Sai said kissing Sakura at the cheek.

"Okaaayy…" the priest sweat dropped anime style.

"Sakura, do you ta-" again the priest was cut off with a smiling Sakura.

"I do." Sakura said slightly squeezing Sai's hand.

"Okaaaaayyyy…" the priest sweat dropped again anime style.

"You may now kiss the br- sigh" the priest sweat dropped again. (A/N, Me: -smiles evilly- evil laugh-)

Sai kissed Sakura.

After three (3) minutes……

"Yehey! Yeah!/Congrats/Congratulations! Woohoo!" Everyone cheered as confetti started to fall on the newly wed couple.

"Picture Taking time!" Naruto suddenly shouted as Hinata giggled and the newly wed Setoshi couple laughed.

Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and went straight to the couple. So did, Ino with Shikamaru and TenTen with Neji. The first picture was Sai and Sakura kissing. The second picture was Sai and Sakura hugging. The third picture was Sai and Sakura holding hands. The fourth picture was with Naruto on Sai's side and Hinata on Sakura's side. The fifth picture was Naruto on Sakura's side and Hinata on Sai's side. The sixth picture was Ino at Sakura's side and Shikamaru at Sai's side. The seventh picture was Shikamaru at Sakura's side and Ino at Sai's side. The eighth picture was TenTen at Sakura's side and Neji at Sai's side. The nineth picture was TenTen at Sai's side and Neji at Sakura's side. The tenth picture was Hinata, Ino and TenTen at Sakura's side and Naruto, Shikamaru and Neji at Sai's side. The eleventh picture was Shizune at Sakura's side and Tsunade at Sai's side with TonTon (the pig) at the middle.

The twelfth picture was Shizune at Sai's side and Tsunade at Sakura's and still with TonTon at the middle. The thirteenth picture was Kakashi in the middle beside Sakura right side and Sai on the left side. The fourteenth picture was Yamato in the middle beside Sakura's right side and Sai's left side. The fifteenth picture was Anko at Sakura's side and Ibiki at Sai's side but Anko and Ibiki are not together like husband and wife nor girlfriend boyfriend. The sixteenth picture was Temari at Sakura's side and Kankuro at Sai's side with Gaara sitting in the middle. The seventeenth picture was Kankuro at Sakura's side and Temari at Sai's side still with Gaara sitting at the middle. The eighteenth picture was Kankuro and Temari both sitting in the middle and Gaara separating Sakura and Sai so he was at the middle standing. The nineteenth picture was with Shizune, Temari, Tsunade, and Anko at Sakura's side and Kankuro, Ibiki, Kakashi, and Gaara at Sai's side. The twentieth picture was the total opposite of the nineteenth picture; Kankuro, Ibiki, Kakashi and Gaara were at Sakura's side and Shizune, Temari, Tsunade and Anko at Sai's side. The twenty-first picture was with Idate at Sakura's side and Jirocho at Sai's side. The twenty-second picture was Idate at Sai's side and Jirocho at Sakura's. And so on and so forth there picture taking time went………There were loads of picture developed and taken. One picture each for each family- it means that all the picture that were taken; the families or the persons invited will have one collection or one pack with all of the photos taken during the wedding and the reception.

Their reception was in the middle of the forest. Sai also invited the crew of Ichiraku ramen since he loves ramen. There were loads of goodies, give aways, gifts and loads of foods! Everyone had a wonderful time. They were dancing and laughing and even Kakashi was not focusing on his Icha Icha Paradise book. The funny part was when Chouji slipped because one of his foods the steak fell on the floor with out him knowing and he stepped on it and it made him slip. He was covered with his own food. Everyone laughed but it was okay with him. He wasn't embarrassed or anything he was even happy that he made everyone laugh.

At their honeymoon, Sakura and Sai were having a wonderful time. They were at a hot spring. Tsunade had reserved the whole hot spring for only the two of them. The good thing about it is that it only has one hot spring so they have to share one. (A/N: evil Tsunade)… Sakura was happily humming her favorite song when Sai jumped into the hot spring luckily Sakura had her body wrapped around a towel.

"hmm hmmmm ohhh yeahhhAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

BAM! SMACK! BAM! BAM!

Poor Sai he got a bruised face for suddenly jumping in to the hot spring. It was no accident, he actually knew Sakura was in there. Too bad, after punching Sai, Sakura went directly to their bedroom to change. Why? Remember, Sakura is pregnant with Sasuke's child. Sai decided that they would let the baby live. Everyone must have a chance to live. So that's the reason they let the baby live.

Their bedroom was stupendous! Their bed was colored red and in a heart shape. Their room had their own refrigerator, kitchen, comfort room, dining room, and living room. It was like a normal house. Their kitchen was complete with utensils, oven, coffee maker, faucet, sink, toaster, stove, and so on and so forth. Their comfort room had a shower corner, a bath tub corner and the sink with loads of cabinets. Their dining room well was it was just normal. It had at table for two (2) and an air conditioner (aircon). Their living room also was normal. It had an LCD 32 inch TV, two (2) laptops, one (1) desktop computer (PC), and two (2) sofa's.

Sakura went outside the bathroom to dry off her hair and change. Once she was done, Sai came in and she healed his swelling cheek.

"Who do you also target my cheek when hitting me?" Sai suddenly asked pouting anime/chibi style while Sakura sweat dropped anime/chibi style.

'sigh, you always face your cheek when I'm about to hit you' Sakura thought.

"Sigh, its because you always face your cheek when I'm about to hit you sigh" Sakura explained to him and he nodded in response.

"Sai!!" Sakura shouted as her tummy was aching and on her legs were blood.

"Sakura!!" Sai shouted and carried her immediately to the hospital. Ryu, Sasuke's and Sakura's son, was left behind together with the four (4) maids. Ryu was crying seeing her mom bleeding. Ryu was already two (2) years old and about to become three by September.

Ryu looked a lot like Sasuke but in a way he also looked alot like Sai. Ryu knew his true father's true identity but still he loved his step father and step brother. Sai was no step father to him but Sai was a real father to him.

"Good Morning mommy!" Ryu said as he ran to hug her.

"Good Morning Ryu!" Sakura said as she opened her arms to hug her son.

"Mommy, Daddy, what are you going to call the baby in daddy's arms?" Ryu asked in a thinking pose.

"Ummm… Sai you choose" Sakura turned to Sai and he nodded. He too like Ryu, went on a thinking pose.

"Michiko" Sai said and both Ryu and Sakura smiled.

"Good name!" Sakura and Ryu said as they both gave him the thumbs up. Baby Michiko smiled too! Michiko had pink hair and black eyes. Her skin is tan colored. She mostly looked like Sakura but her eyes and nose were from Sai. Luckily her forehead is normal.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Michiko said as she ran to her mommy showing her test paper which got a score of 98.

"98!! That's wonderful Michiko! Tomorrow let's go shop for your prize okay?" Sakura said and smiled.

"Yehey!! Thank you mommy!" Michiko thanked her mommy as she ran to her daddy.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Ryu said as he ran to his daddy showing him his test paper which got a score of 99.

"99!? That's superb Ryu! Tomorrow lets go train and shop for your prize okay?" Sai said as he hugged his son.

"Yehey! Thank you daddy!" Ryu said as he ran to his mommy.

"Daddy/Mommy! Daddy/Mommy!" Then……

THUD.

"Ow… that hurt" Michiko and Ryu said in unison as they both touch their forehead and butt. Both their parents laughed and they pouted. Sai and Sakura laughed but they helped them stand up.

"Mommy/ Daddy! Look I got 99/98!!" They chorused.

"99!? That's wonderful Ryu!" Sakura said as she hugged her son.

"Hmm… lets go shopping tomorrow okay?" Sakura said and Ryu grinned.

"98!? That's superb Michiko!" Sai said as he got up and hugged his daughter.

"Shopping tomorrow, I'll buy you a doll and a big teddy bear!" Sai said and Michiko grinned.

"Michiko, Ryu lets go!" Sakura ans Sai chorused.

"Coming!" Michiko and Ryu chorused.

They jumped through tree to tree as they reach their location. It was beautiful, cherry blossom trees were surrounding them. Sakura smiled and Ryu and Michiko giggled.

"Lets go picnic!" Michiko and Ryu chorused as Sakura and Sai happily prepared and organized their things.

THE END

A/N: Hope you liked it! Totally , I was out of my mind when this chappie was the ending. I was so freaked out!! Anyways thank you all for reading and reviewing.

Also, I have lots of upcoming stories entitled:

1. Hoping and Loving?

2. Just for the Publicity

3. Forbidden Love

4. Why faking it when you can do it truthfully?

5. She's mine and ONLY mine and lastly,

6. My True Love, My Angel

Hope you'll read it!

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.

Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world,
You entered, bringing light and life to me,
The vivid colors, painted with a swirl
Of wit and charm, of personality,
With tender care, you added comfort, warmth,
And images that line the now bright walls.
I look upon them fondly, bringing forth
A thankfulness that you walk in these halls
With me; our friendship has become a part
Of my world now; it has its special place,
Within my being, life, and in my heart,
Your name hangs right beside your smiling face.
Rememb'ring just how drab these walls had been,
I have to thank you for the light, my friend.
