A/N: This wasn't one of my better stories, but none the less, I still like it and it's sad to see it end. Um … so sorry for the cliffy, but it was necessary! I think… Anywho, um … I know this chapter isn't nearly as long as the last, but it's the end and yeah … Um… I think that's it. I don't think I'll do a sequel to this story just because it ended nicely (well I think so), but if you guys think I should do a sequel, review and if a lot of people review, then I will try to make a sequel! But a lot of people have to want a sequel or I won't do it, sorry for those who want a sequel! I think that's it, so please enjoy! R&R&F please for the last time … for this story anyway. I hope it's okay!

Disclaimer: I shall go normal for this one. I do not own Naruto!

"I am your conscience. Take my advice and you'll survive. Hey, are you still reading this? Here is some advice: stop reading. No seriously, stop. You hate listening. I can tell." – I love that.

"Wha… Hotaru, why would you save a Konoha shinobi?" The Sound shinobi asked me, with the katana still in me. Then, before I could answer, he was dead. Sasuke slit his throat with a kunai and took the katana out of me and caught me as I began to fall to the ground.

"Why? It's only a katana." He didn't know? 'Figures.' I thought as I choked on my own blood.

"Why twin sister would I be if I let you die?" His eyes widened.

"But you said-"

"I know … but Orochimaru … injected with something … when I was younger … to forget … I only … just remembered." I finished as I felt the poison spread throughout my body.

As Sasuke helped me stand, I noticed Konoha had killed all of the Sound shinobi and were looking at me. The Hokage, Fugaku, Itachi, and Shisui came up to me.

"Why did you save my son's life?" Fugaku asked. I looked him in the eyes and answered with certainty.

"He is my brother. Why wouldn't I?" That was followed by silence. I was about to tell them what happened, when I felt my heart begin to slow. My eyes widened and I fell to the ground.

"What is happening?" Shisui asked.

"I don't know. It was only a katana. This shouldn't be happening!" Sasuke half yelled. The Hokage kneeled down over me and her hands began to glow. Then her eyes narrowed. She had figured it out.

"The katana was poisoned. Get her to the hospital fast! Itachi and Sasuke go with her. Sakura, make sure everything goes accordingly. Fugaku, get Mikoto and bring her to my office. Kakashi, I need you to go get Shizune. GO!" Then I felt myself be carried by someone, but I had closed my eyes a long time ago. Then I heard him talk.

"Stay with me Hotaru. Don't leave me again." I smiled faintly. It was my twin.

I fell into unconsciousness and regained consciousness about every ten minutes. I felt pain all over my body, worse than what Ibiki had done, worse than what I experienced with Orochimaru. It was far beyond unbearable. It was excruciating. Whenever I was conscious, I heard people around me talking.

"How is she?"

"… Poison … everywhere … hard … not impossible." I only heard parts of what they were saying and I didn't really know what they saying most of the time, I just knew it was about me.

"Is … really … Hotaru?"

"Blood … verify…" Then I was out.

I woke up and tried to open my eyes, but quickly shut them because of the sudden brightness. I then heard someone by the side of the bed.

"What do you think?" I heard Sasuke ask someone.

"I don't know otouto. We have to wait for the test results." Itachi told Sasuke. They hadn't realized I was awake yet.

"But what do you think?" Sasuke asked again. Itachi was silent for a while and when I thought he wasn't going to answer, he did.

"I want to believe it's her. But I can't be for certain." I felt his stare, but still didn't move.

"Me too aniki." Sasuke answered. I figured now was the time to 'wake up' and I groaned.

"I think she's waking up." Sasuke said. I opened my eyes, slowly this time, and saw Sasuke to my left and Itachi to my right.

"What … what happened?" I asked trying to sit up only to feel pain in my stomach.

"Ow." I said holding my stomach. Itachi pushed, gently, on my shoulders to get me to lie down again.

"You saved Sasuke's life by getting stabbed by a poisonous katana. You have been out for a week." 'A whole week? Wow, the poison must have been really strong.' I thought looking at the ceiling.

"When did you remember? What do you remember?" Sasuke asked. I sighed and looked at him.

"When I saw you guys fight Sound. The kunai Fugaku threw helped mostly, but the fight, for some reason, brought back the memory of when I saw Orochimaru's real daughter. He was about to hurt her when she asked about me. He said that I would never figure out I was an Uchiha. I tried to stop him, but he injected something in my arm and I don't remember after that." I said closing my eyes. I was still tired, even after a week of sleep.

"He must have erased your memory of that night. But thank you for saving me." Sasuke said. I nodded. Then the door opened and I opened my eyes to see who it was: the Hokage, her assistant, Fugaku, a woman with long black hair that looked like Itachi and Sasuke, Shisui, and Kakashi. They all looked at me as the Hokage walked up to me and checked my vitals.

"You seem to be a very lucky lady Hotaru." She said. I looked at her and then everyone else, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Hokage-sama, why did we come down here?" The woman asked the Hokage, who in return smiled.

"I asked all of you here because the results are in of Hotaru's blood. Shizune, would you please?" Shizune smiled and looked at the Uchihas; I was guessing the woman was Itachi and Sasuke's mother because of her appearance.

"The blood tests have concluded that this young lady, Hotaru, is in fact Hotaru Uchiha." Everyone was silent and all eyes were on me. I looked at Itachi, he seemed … calm and maybe even a little happy. Sasuke looked happy as well, for he had found his twin. Shisui seemed his usual, but he was happy too. Fugaku, seemed a little apprehensive, but he also seemed to accept it. The woman had tears in her eyes. I couldn't remember her name for the life of me.

"Shizune com on, let's leave the family alone." Then they left and Shisui's mouth started.

"You're back! Finally, I have a girl to pick on!" He was then punched by the woman and glared at by me. Sasuke came up to me and hugged me. I smiled then, a genuine smile for the first time since I could remember.

"It's good to have you back sis." Itachi walked up to me and also hugged me. I didn't know what to say or do. I had never had a family that cared for me. Then Fugaku came up to me and Itachi and Sasuke stepped away.

"You've been gone for fifteen years. You forgot about us. You made your mother miserable. You…" He was not making it any easier for me. I already felt horrible for not remembering my own mother's name and for being … me, but he was not helping at all.

"You finally came home. You have brought us together again. And we will be a family again, in due time." Then he smiled. I felt tears come to my eyes as my mother walked to me. Then she hugged me for about ten minutes. I hugged back and I didn't let go.

"It's good to have you back honey."

"Kami, it's good to be back." I didn't know what it was like to have people who truly cared for me until now, but I already loved it. I was happy. I was genuinely happy. My mom finally let me go and did something I never thought she would do.

"You are grounded young lady!" 'WHAT!' I thought. I stared at her, stunned. Then I heard people laugh. Itachi, Sasuke, Fugaku, and Shisui were laughing at me!

"This is not funny!" I screamed at them. They stopped laughing, but they all had smiles on their faces.

"Come on Mikoto, give her a break!" Shisui told Mikoto. That was it! My mother's name. It was beautiful.

"No, she will be grounded the rest of her life if she has to be! She will not leave again!"

"Mom, that's not fair!" Then she smiled.

"I always wanted to hear you say that." I smiled. The best was only to come.

1 month later

"Mom, I'm going out to train with Itachi and Sasuke." I said walking out of the house.

"Be careful!"

"Yeah, yeah." I said as I sprinted to the training grounds where I met Itachi and Sasuke.

"So who's ready to get beat by me again?" They glared.

"It's not fair! You have Madara's eyes!" I smiled.

"So? Alright, who's first?" Then Itachi puffed. 'A clone.' I thought as I looked for Itachi, but Sasuke attacked me.

"Hey, two on one isn't fair!" He smirked.

"So?" 'Jerk!' He had used my own words against me. This was going to be fun. I attacked with my katana and fought off both Itachi and Sasuke.

After about an hour, it was almost dusk, so we headed back home to see Mikoto waiting for us with a smile.

"Dinner is ready. Wash up and get back down in five minutes. And no fighting you two!" My mom called out to Sasuke and me as we raced toward the bathroom, even though we had multiple bathrooms, we were twins after all! Itachi had waited for us and then afterwards we headed downstairs for dinner.

"Thanks mom for dinner!" I said as I began to eat. Everyone was silent for about two minutes before Shisui darted through the door panting.

"There … come … quick!" We all got up and grabbed kunai, we didn't know what was going on, but Shisui was in a hurry for a reason.

We ran down the street to the Hokage tower ready for battle, but then Shisui disappeared.

"What's going on?" I asked activation my External Mangekyo Sharingan. No one had the answer though as we looked for signs of trouble, but then lights came on. 'Huh?' We looked up to see fireworks and then people began to come out of buildings smiling. I put my Sharingan away and stood down waiting for someone to explain what was going on and I looked over at my family to see them smiling too.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked. I was mad that I wasn't getting told what was going on. Sasuke was the one who came up to me.

"Happy birthday sis." My eyes widened. It was my birthday? I was seventeen? I smiled then. It was Sasuke's birthday and my birthday party. I hugged everyone and thanked them, but then I punched them for not telling me. I smiled and looked at the fireworks. It was beautiful and I was happy. I had family, friends, and a real life. I was never going to get any happier. My life had started off horribly, but ended with happiness. Life was turning out to be fantastic. It was my happy ever after.

"Wouldn't life be perfect if sweatpants were sexy, Monday's were fun, junk food didn't make you fat, girls didn't cause so much drama, guys weren't so confusing, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow?" That would be nice. But for now, sayonara readers and thanks for reading my story!

*cries* It's over! V-V So sad, but I am glad it's finished. So again, only if enough people review for a sequel, will I comply. Um ... I hope it was okay! And I know that the ending was a little cliche and blah blah blah, buttttttttt, I like happy endings, so ... deal with it! I think that's it. But again, I hope it was okay, for it was not my best work, but still worthy of FF. ^-^ R&R&F
