Meep I thank you for reviews and apparently well it seems that Itsuka will indeed end up with Deidara since because none of you want to see her with Kakashi. I'm happy I was rooting for such a result.

Chapter 18: Aftermath

It was a clear sunny Saturday afternoon classes had already started and things had started to progress to a better state. Sasuke and Sakura had started dating and severed family ties were restored.

--Haruno Shrine--

Sasuke and Sakura were in the backyard of the shrine laying on the grass looking at the sky as they held hands.

"Sasuke what will you be doing after you finish High school?" Sakura asked innocently.

"I don't know I don't want to think about that right now I just want to stay here with you." Sasuke replied sitting up.

Sakura went right in front of him and kissed him softly.

"I don't want you to leave anywhere without me or I'll swear I'll kidnap you." She said with a smile.

"Really how are you planning on doing that?" He asked with a smirk.

Sakura gave him a smile and opened her wings and covered him.

"I can simply go wherever you are and fly away with you." She replied with a small smile.

"You already have me Sakura." He whispered.

Sakura hid her wings and pushed him to the ground. Sasuke placed a hand behind her head and kissed her. Sakura responded to the kiss eagerly as she held one of his hands. After a while Sakura sat on the grass and looked at Sasuke with a smile.

"Sasuke how are things going on with your family?" She asked.

"Our family it's getting restored and I don't know and I guess Deidara has also helped a lot." Sasuke replied with a smile.

"Deidara who's that?"

"Well he's my sister's best friend and they seem to be on their way of hooking up." Replied Sasuke with a grin.

Sakura stretched her arms and then sat between Sasuke's legs while he looked at her with a gentle smile.

"Sakura you have helped so much."

"Really?"

Sasuke gave her a kiss on the head and then laid back down on the grass.

"Sasuke when you came here your mouth tasted like alcohol." Sakura mentioned absently.

"Oh that, Deidara, the twins and me were drinking whiskey." Sasuke replied.

"Whiskey, I'm more of a fine red wine kinda girl." Sakura replied looking at him.

Sasuke quirked an eyebrow at her sudden mention of her taste in alcohol and made a note to self to ask Deidara to get him a bottle of wine for Sakura later. While he was thinking though Sakura went on top of him and laid her head on his chest.

"Sakura?"

"Just gonna take a small nap." She replied innocently.

"Okay." Sasuke murmured and closed his eyes.

--Uchiha House--

"Dei-kun stop it." Itsuka said laughing.

"No, I'm not until you say sorry." Deidara replied.

This went on for a while Deidara tickling Itsuka.

"Fine I'm sorry please stop it." Itsuka screamed crying of laughter.

Deidara stopped and got off her while her cheeks were a real dark shade of crimson. She sat up her hair looked all messy and her cheeks were tear stained.

"I have never laughed so hard in my entire life Deidei-chan." Itsuka said and jumped over to him.

Deidara turned red and grabbed her shoulders trying to pry her off him.

"Itsu-chan can you get off me please." He said as he slowly looked up at him.

"Dei-kun can you stay here with me I'm tired of being alone." She whispered.

Deidara looked into her crimson eyes that were starting to fill with tears.

"Are you sure my sweet one?" He asked placing a hand on her cheek.

"Yes please Deidara." Itsuka replied holding her tears back.

"I'll stay then but you know I still have to go back to Iwa right un."

"Yes do everything you need and come back here I'll be waiting for you." Itsuka said and planted a kiss on his lips.

Deidara looked at her with a gentle smile and helped her stand up.

"Can you come with me to the Haruno Shrine I need to pick up Sasuke?" Itsuka asked.

"Sure un?" Deidara replied and took her hand.

Then they both left to shrine in about five minutes or so they reached the sakura path and went through there and came across someone they didn't like very much.

"Why hello Itsuka-chan."

"Kakashi fuck the damn hell off." She replied.

"I didn't know you would be so touchy." Kakashi said fixing his shades.

Itsuka took a step forward with her fist clenched but Deidara just motioned her to ignore him to which she complied obediently.

"Why did you stop me Deidara." Itsuka whispered.

"You don't deserve to waste your time with a bastard like that." Deidara replied with a nice smile.

Itsuka couldn't to smile back at him and kissed his cheek.

"Fine then."

They both arrived to the shrine and went to ask Kiyo where the two lovebirds were located.

"I guess the best place to look for them would be the back yard and judging from the silence they must have fallen asleep." Kiyo replied with a smile.

"Arigato." Itsuka said and ran off to the back yard where she saw them in deep slumber.

Itsuka ran towards them making noise on purpose but they didn't even move so she decided to tickle them with her wings as Deidara looked trying his hardest not to laugh.

"Let me sleep." Sasuke mumbled swatting the wing away.

" Hey careful with my wing you little dweeb." Itsuka shouted and with that Sasuke's eyes shot open.

He slowly sat up and his movements woke up Sakura who looked at them.

'Hi Itsuka." She murmured with a slight yawn.

"Hi we are here to pick up Sasuke." Said Itsuka when Sasuke pouted.

"No pouting you can come whenever you feel like it which its always un." Said Deidara with a grin.

Sasuke nodded and stood up he then took Sakura's hand to brought her close to him.

"I suppose this is good bye for today." She whispered in an hushed tone.

Sasuke nodded and kissed her forehead lightly making her smile.

"Well miss Sakura have good day un" Deidara said and waved his hand.

Sakura bowed slightly and smiled at them and watched them leave then she went back inside. On the way out Sasuke noticed Deidara and his sister were very close and smiled inwardly hoping that finally she would ward off her bad luck with men.

"Itsuka-chan is oniichan at home?" Sasuke asked her curiously.

"No he is at the hospital visiting a friend." Itsuka replied.

"Well heck, hey Deidara do you think you can get me some good red wine for Sakura."

"Sure."

They kept going on their way home peacefully and two days later Deidara had to leave to Iwa but with the promise of returning as soon as possible.

Deidara will come back don't worry you know when you are moving you have to change addresses and such things that's what he'lll be doing so it won't really take long for him to come back.
