TIME SKIPS TO WHEN THEY'RE TWENTY!
I can't believe it's over...
I hope you've had as much fun reading it as I had writing it.
*Sad smile*
~I Love You~

A redhead shifted her pack as the gate to Konohagakure came into view. Her yellowish-green eyes were bright with excitement and she had a huge smile on her face. 'I hope he'll be surprised,' she thought.
She was clad in a mesh shirt and an olive-green jacket over top, along with black capris and shoes. No one was with her as she made her way through the streets of Konoha, the sun hitting her face. 'I'm back home,' she thought, another smile coming across her face.
She stepped into the Hokage's office five minutes later. "Fijui," said Tsunade, examining the twenty-year-old from her desk. "M'lady," she replied respectfully, bowing her head. "It's nice to see you again. He'll be happy to see you as well," the Hokage told Fijui. She laughed, the sound filling the room like a chorus of bells.
"So why are you here?"
"I'd like to become a citizen of Konoha."
An arched eyebrow. "Why're you leaving Iwa?"
The redhead explained, "That's not my home. When I came here, I found out that Iwa was never really my home. I never really fit in there. But then here... I found people just like me..." Tsunade sighed. "Fine. But you're going to have to find a place to stay for tonight."
Fijui grinned. "I think I've got that covered."
. . .
Sai could barely bite back a groan. He had had a horrible day. Sakura had found out what Naruto had made him do and beat him up despite his efforts to fight her off, the woman, Karin, was following him around, and Naruto was teasing him about not having a girlfriend.
Now, the blond twenty-year-old was approaching, a grin plastered on his face. Sai bit back another groan. "Hey, Sai... Did you hear the news?" Sai asked, "What news?" The blond threw back his head, laughing long and hard. "W-Well, I can't tell you," he panted. "But I'll give you a hint- definitely gotten curvier since the last time."
"NARUTO!"
He was smacked by a pink-haired woman. "Sai, just go home and rest up," she said, dragging his former teammate away. He raised an eyebrow before heading towards his apartment. He was so tired he didn't even realize that the door was unlocked.
As he walked in, he unzipped his jounin vest and let it drop to the floor. Then he untied his headband and was about to go into his bedroom when a voice giggled, "Awwww, you're gonna stop there? I was enjoying myself." His head snapped up and he looked over to see a red-haired woman around his age. He hadn't seen her for four years. It had seemed that every time they made plans for him to visit, he was sent on a very important mission.
But there was no stopping the letters they wrote.
Now, he allowed himself to stare at the woman on his couch. "Fijui..." With a smile, she stood and walked over. "It's nice to see you again... Sai..." Lips clashed as soon as his name left her mouth. He dug his fingers into the fabric of her jacket, pushing her against him completely.
They broke the kiss and she rose on her tippy-toes and whispered quietly into his ear, "I love you." Seizing her in his arms tightly, he whispered it back and kissed her again, this time running his fingers through her longer hair.
"And, Fijui, one more thing..."
"What?"
Sai pushed her away and looked at the ring he had slipped onto her finger without her even noticing. She realized what he was asking and tears poured out of her eyes. "YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" se screamed, throwing her arms around him again.
Sai kissed her neck and thought about the letter he had gotten when he was sixteen.
The one that had changed his life.

{Five years later}
"Mommy! Kiello took my toys again!"
Fijui opened her eyes as her four-year-old called her attention. Lunil was a quiet boy, much like his father. He had dark red hair and black eyes, which were glaring at her. Her infant, Kiello, was crawling towards them, giggling happily.
Kiello had black hair and her mother's eyes. She was active and bubbly. She crawled onto the couch, as did Lunil. "Mommy!" Fijui laughed, shaking her head. "Kiello's a baby, Lunil. Why don't you go get Daddy?" The boy perked up instantly. "Yeah! I'll go get Daddy!"
Kiello looked over before grabbing the red locks in her fists and gently tugging. Sai came in, Lunil complaining about the little girl, who giggled and let go of her mother's hair so she could lift her arms and ask to be picked up. Sai took her into his arms and looked down at Fijui, who shook her head and laughed.
"Mommy, how did you guys meet?" asked Lunil curiously. She pulled him into her lap.
"It all started when I sent a letter out, hoping to find a pen pal."
