The last chapter! The end of the epilogue! The weddings and the babies! Well... kinda... Yeah, I didn't put the wedding scenes. But! I put a real, nearly-living baby in this last chapter. And it is for our favorite couple: Sasuke and Naruto!
Naruto: Oo' "Nearly-living"?
Me: Yes. This baby doesn't exist whatsoever in reality. Just like you guys from the mangas... sadly.
Disclaimer: I own only what's new from the series! This means a lot of things and at the same time it's almost nothing.
Warning: Sasuke is a perv! Really! But girls have nothing to worry about. Nor guys, except of course Naruto.

It has been months, now. I mean… since we came back to Konoha. Tsunade-baachan has promoted us all, in accord with the other Kage's, to the rank of chuunin. I have been doing missions alone with Sasuke. And six months ago… we married, along with two other couples. I wasn't surprised that Sakura wed Deidara, seeing as they were together since the end of the werewolves. What surprised me, though, was that the others that married… were Kiba with some ninja from Suna. The rumors say that Kiba went to Suna to retrieve Akamaru or something and he was caught in one of the land's problems. And he fell in love with that girl named Zanne. She's pretty, but weird. I don't know the details, really. And concerning Yuki… no news at all. No rumors, no letters, no sign whatsoever. Almost as if she had…vanished. Anyway… As I was saying, there were weddings. But that was… like… six months ago. Since then, we heard the news that Sakura and Zanne were pregnant. I am so jealous! Sasuke doesn't even want to have sex with me when I use my sexy jutsu! He's such a cold-hearted asshole! But that's what makes his charm, I guess. We are right now sitting in the living room, on the couch. He is drinking a coffee while I… well… I look at him, what else? I'll ask him again.
"How about we adopt a kid, huh? What do you say?" I ask, hopeful.
He doesn't even look at me to answer. "I already told you, Naruto. Orphans are rare in Konoha. Not like we can adopt any kid."
"But Sasuke…!" I whine, making the fatal "puppy eyes look" no jutsu. "I really, really really want a kid!"
He still doesn't look at me, avoiding the fatal jutsu. "Be happy that you'll be uncle, kitsune, and stop whining. Besides… I hate kids and kids hate me."
"How can you know that?" I ask, surprised at his last argument.
"I went to visit Iruka recently. I got beat up by the kids when Iruka went to see Tsunade about something and ordered me to watch the children."
I sweat-drop. This is some pretty good argument. Can't say anything against that.
"But…" he begins, putting down his empty mug. "If you find a young orphan, I could always change my mind."
I jump on his lap in glee and kiss him fully on the lips before breaking the kiss and embracing him tightly. "You're the best, Sasu!"
He smirks. "Before I forget again… Tsunade wanted to see you thirty minutes ago. You better hurry."
I jump up, panicking. "Why didn't you tell me earlier! She's gonna kill me!"
"Find some argument, kitsune. I can't live without you."
I kiss him on the cheek. "Well I'll be going…"
"Later."
I open the door to go outside and stop dead in my tracks. At my feet lay a baby, all rolled up in a bed sheet. I hold my breath a moment. I can't believe what I am seeing. Sasuke walks up to me.
"What's up, kitsune? I thought you were in a hurry." he says. He looks at my feet and gasps. "Oh my gosh!"
I crouch and pick up the little thing. Then I notice a letter left under the baby. I take it, unfold it and look at the signature while Sasuke steps outside.
"Who could have left this kid here like that?" he asks, looking around.
"I know who it is, Sasuke." I say lowly.
He looks at me and I point at the signature on the letter. He takes the same sad look as I. "Oh…" he simply replies.
¤¤¤¤¤
Tsunade reads the letter a third time and sighs. "Well boys, I have no other choice than to leave this little girl to you." she says, putting down the letter.
¤¤¤¤¤
I read again the letter as Sasuke feeds the baby.
Dear friends, Hey… It's been a while since last time I saw you. Guess it wasn't quite the good time yet. How am I doing? Well… worse than you two, that's for sure. There is a hunt going on in the forests recently. I am the prey and I haven't had a good look at my hunters yet. This is why I've decided to let my daughter in your hands. I don't know how much longer I can survive. They are trying to corner me and I can't go in any village for shelter for this would put innocent lives in great danger. You can't do anything to help me aside of taking care of my kid. Her name is Eriole Uchiha, in memory of her father, Itachi. She has been born on the last full moon, nearly a month ago. I'll try to come see you as soon as things cool down a little. Can't promise anything, though.
Note to Tsunade: As I am sure you will read this, Tsunade, I've decided to leave you a note. Do not try anythingto retrieve me or they will go into your village, too.
Your friend,
Yuki Suikitsu
I notice something weird on the letter. Just at that moment, Sasuke comes into the living room.
"She's finally asleep…" he sighs.
"Hey, Sasuke. Don't you think there is something weird with this letter?" I ask him, motioning to the piece of paper.
He frowns. "What do you mean, kitsune?"
"Nothin in particular." I reply.
Sasuke takes the letter from me, activates his sharingan and examines it. Then he uses a little of chakra on it and letters begin to appear between the already visible lines. He smirks.
"She hid a message with chakra." he says.
I look at the words written in red ink or something.
"They hunt at night. Alone or in packs. Receivin orders from the shadow that vanishes when mornin comes round. Ye see them from the corner o yer eye, but when ye focus on them, they vanish, as if they were never there."
-NightHawk Daemons, Kenlo Khi, p.165-
"NightHawk Daemons? I've never heard of that book before." I exclaim.
"Seeing the form of language it has been written in , it must be pretty old." says Sasuke, looking too at the writings. "Maybe Tsunade will know what and where this book is. Let's go see her tomorrow, okay kitsune? For tonight, I need sleep. I've been hearing the baby cry during most of the day and I could use some rest."
I take a smug look. "Yeah. Me too. It's not as easy as it sounds to have a kid. Especially a baby." I agree.
And then we both go to bed. An hour or so later we are awaken by a loud noise, coming from the room next to ours. Sasuke turns around, putting his arm around my waist and leaning to my ear.
"Kitsune… it's Eriole… I think she's hungry again." says Sasuke, the smirk evident in his voice.
I groan. "The heck with milk. I'm putting her to a ramen diet." I say, frustrated that the lovely girl woke us up.
I get up and walk away from the bed. I exit the bedroom and go into Eriole's room. I pick her up.
"Sssh… Don't cry, please…. Spare daddy Naruto's ears, ok Eriole? Daddy Naruto's gonna feed you something better than plain milk." I say softly, rocking her a bit.
I make my way to the kitchen and prepare some ramen, accompanied by the continual cries of Eriole. When it's ready and at the good temperature, I put some in a plate and take a knife to cut those long, yummy noodles. Then I present some under Eriole's nose. She immediately stops crying and sniffs what's under her nose.
"Come on, Eriole. This is Daddy Naruto's favorite food. You just gotta like it." I say, pushing it against her closed lips. "Open your mouth, Eriole. You can't eat with your mouth closed." I push again a little against her lips but they don't budge. "You want a proof that this stuff is good? Fine. Watch me."
I eat some of the cut ramen in the plate to show her that it isn't bad at all. Then I try again to make her eat. This time, she opens her mouth to taste it. And she actually eats it!
"I'm a genius!" I cry triumphantly as I make her eat up more ramen.
When the plate is empty, I smile brightly at Eriole.
"You see that it wasn't so bad, huh?" I say to her.
She giggles in answer. And then I sense someone looking at me from behind. I turn around to see Sasuke, leaning on the door frame, a smirk on his handsome face. I pout.
"What are you smirking at, teme?" I say, on my guards.
"Sorry. I was just thinking of how cute and sexy you looked when you just found the answer to a problem concerning a baby." he simply says, still smirking.
"Horny bastard. What exactly do you have in mind?" I ask, still pouting but with a faint blush on my cheeks.
His smirk turns to a hungry and predatory look. "Nothing in particular, kitsune. Or should I say Daddy Naruto?"
"You're hopelessly obsessed with sex, aren't you?"
"How can I not be when there is a cute little ass, belonging to me and just waiting to be fucked, under the same roof as I?"
I sweat-drop. "How can you be permanently horny? I'm sure you even have wet dreams when you sleep."
"It can't be helped, kitsune. I'm addicted to you and it's not a baby that's going to change that."
"You're a selfish, idiotic, horny bastard with no sense of self-control whatsoever."
"I love you too, kitsune. Now go put that baby back in its bed and take your cute little ass in our bed so that I can make you scream my name."
And then he just walked off. I sighed. He would never change. Sometimes I wonder which is the most pervert. My pervy Sasu, the pervy sage Jiraiya, or that sensei of mine who's always reading his pervy books. After a time of reflection, I'd say Sasu is the most pervert of them all. On my point of view, anyway.

The End! I know. I'm evil do end the story with a chapter such as this one. Although there might be... and I said MIGHT... a following story. MIGHT!
Itachi: OMG! You fed my flesh-and-blood with that junk!
Naruto and I: It's not junk! It's really good!
Sasuke: No wonder this chapter was in my kitsune's point of view. The writer has a side just like him.
Yuki: But beware, readers! DO NOT feed ramen to a TRUE baby when it is at the age of one month!
Me: Yep! You must first gradually give them cereals, then other stuff when they're a little older. But at the age of one year, they should be able to eat almost everything edible. Except alcohol and drogs!
Itachi: Alcohol is bad!
Naruto: And drogs are bad, too!
Sasuke: You guys are hopeless. Stop telling the readers what other people are paid to tell them.
Me: (sweat-drop) Sorry. I got a little carried away.
Yuki: Who the heck is this Zanne girl, anyway?
Me: It's a ninja from Suna. I'm actually writting the side-story in which she will be. I have presently posted the first chapter. The name is "Gray Night, Silver Skies". If you don't like Kiba, ShinoKiba near-rape, vampires, if you didn't like this story, or if you don't like me, then DON'T GO READ IT.
Sasuke: Who the heck would read an author's note this long?
Me: (smile) You would.
Sasuke: (sweat-drop) ...
Me: So readers... (puppy eyes look) Review! Since this is the last chapter. Depending on your reviews, I shall or shall not write a sequel and/or give you a little bonus episode of the new Uchiha family. It's up to you! Just click on that little, square, lilac button on the bottom left of your screen. You know... just beside a little thing written on it "Submit Review"?
