Here's the epilogue. Thanks for the reviews. Stay tuned for the new SasuSaku fanfic (Murder of Matsumoto Yuki) Enjoy!
EPILOGUE
It's been two years and life was so much easier now. Let me brief it down:
Suigetsu was the participant who made it to the final round. He fought Kisame with all he got but lost. Kisame, however, was very impressed with Suigetsu and took him as his student. Kisame also promised me that Suigetsu would be taken care of and that someday, he would surpass Kisame and take over as Supreme Sword Master.
Suigetsu stayed in Kiri but we still stayed in touch. We even visit each other once in a while. He even found himself a girl; a really pretty girl who is bright and cheerful and is just as crazy about swords as him.
Jugo is now in college and lives on his own in an apartment not far from my own. He has found a really nice girl; both of them are innocent and kind. They're the perfect pair; a match made in heaven. He works at the Yamanaka flower shop with Ino as a part time job. He's really happy with his life. Kimimaro is very proud of him and as a gift, he bought Jugo a car. How cool is that?
Kiba participated in almost every sport event and won them. In the end, he focused more on football and was able to get into the national team. He's still single but a lot of ladies are after him. At first, I thought fame would change him and that I'd lose the Kiba I loved but he stayed his goofy self. Akamaru is now healthy and strong. He's old but still has a lot of energy in him. He helps Kiba train and once, he even did a commercial for dog biscuit!
Tenten and Neji are engaged; the two are an inseparable pair. Naruto is dating Hinata and pretty much the same; loud and hyper. Lee started his dojo and started to spread the word of his "power of Youth" philosophy. Ino and Shikamaru are dating and they are just like a married couple, always going at it with their little love quarrels.
And me? Well, I sang with Sharingan for about a year and then I quit so that I could start singing solo. Of course, the guys and I are still friends. I still have a relationship with Sasuke and about a month ago, we moved in together and last night, we became intimate.
I woke up to see Sasuke sleeping next to me. I smiled as I ran my finger along his jaw and blushed as I recalled our love making session last night. What did I ever do to deserve a man like him? I grabbed Sasuke's shirt from the floor and headed for the shower.
After shower, I changed into a pair of jeans and a lime green t-shirt and headed into the kitchen for breakfast. My legs were kinda sore but I wasn't going to tell that to Sasuke because he'd give me that annoying, smug smirk of his.
I was flipping pancakes when Sasuke stepped into the room. He had showered and was wearing black jeans and was shirtless.
"Morning," I told him. "Breakfast is almost done."
"Hn." He muttered as he kissed my cheek and sat at the table.
I wobbled when I walked; damn sore legs! I placed breakfast on the table and Sasuke raised an eyebrow at me.
"Sakura," he said with a smirk tugging his lips. "Can you get me a tomato?"
"Do it yourself." I told him as I playfully glared at him.
"Please?" he said with a small pout.
I sighed as I got up. I wobbled to the fridge. I bet Sasuke knows about my soreness and is making me do this on purpose. I gasped as I felt arms wrap around my waist.
"Kinda sore, are we, Sa-ku-ra?" He whispered huskily as he tugged my earlobe with his teeth.
"Your fault." I muttered as I pushed him away.
"You weren't complaining last night," he said with a boyish smirk. I turned beet red. "In fact, you were begging me to-"
"Shut up." I said as I covered my ears and closed my eyes. Sasuke took my hands in his and chuckled. He kissed me and I felt my insides melt like butter.
After we finished breakfast, Sasuke grabbed my coat and handed it to me, "Let's go."
"Where?" I asked him.
"You'll see." He helped me wear my coat. Then, he put a blindfold and led me outside.
"This better not be a trick, Uchiha." I said threateningly. I heard him chuckle. He drove us somewhere and finally the car stopped.
"Now will you tell me where I am?" I asked him. He got out of the car and helped me out. He led me somewhere, I think near the forest because I could feel wild plants brush across my legs. Finally he opened my blindfold and I realized we were at the graveyard and I was standing over mom, dad and Mangetsu's graves.
"Sasuke . . ." I started to say.
Sasuke simply placed a rose on each grave and kneeled before my mom's grave.
"Hello tou-san, kaa-san, Mangetsu," Sasuke said softly. "It's been a while. It's me, Sasuke. Suigetsu is doing well and so is Sakura. That's the reason . . . we're here today."
I stared at him.
"Sakura," he started to say with a small smile. "She's a completely different person. She's brave, beautiful, loyal and kind. She never gives up and always puts others ahead of herself; she has a heart of pure gold.
I don't know what I did to deserve her. Our relationship is going well for the past two years but now, I want it to last forever. I would like . . . to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage."
I couldn't believe my ears! Did Sasuke just say what I think he just said?
"I love her with all my heart and I promise to protect her and keep her happy. Please give us your blessing." The wind blew softly and played with Sasuke's hair. The wind whispered something and Sasuke smiled like he understood what it said.
"Thank you." He murmured.
He then looked at me. He stepped towards me and took my hand. He pulled out a ring; it was a silver band that was shaped like woven branches of a tree and tiny pink diamonds were scattered on the top making them look like cherry blossoms. I was speechless.
"Sakura," he said softly. "I love you and I will love you till the day I die. Maybe even beyond death. I want to spend the rest of my life with you; wake up in the morning with you in my arms, have a family with you and grow old with you. Will you marry me?"
I was silent and I could see the worried look on Sasuke's face. I smiled, "Don't you have to get down on one knee?"
Sasuke smirked, "You told me you didn't like that kind of stuff."
"True." I agreed.
"So?" He said slowly. "Will you, Haruno Sakura, be my bride?"
I smiled, "Yes."
He smiled as he slid the ring onto my finger. I tackled him with a bear hug. He chuckled and hugged me back.
"Let's go home." He said as he held my hand. We started to walk back to the car.
"Mikoto's gonna flip!" I said with a grin.
Sasuke smirked, "I talked to my dad but not to her."
I looked at him, "Is your dad okay with it?"
He nodded, "He's glad you're joining the family. So is Itachi."
"Let's go tell Mikoto now!" I told him. I wanted to know if she accepted me as well. Sasuke nodded, "Let's go." He was about to open the door but I stopped him.
He raised an eyebrow. I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He kissed me back eagerly.
The kiss was full of love and passion. I was going to spend the rest of my life with Uchiha Sasuke; the man who bumped into me in the hallway, the man who made me feel better about myself, the man who stood by my side all the time, the man I fell in love with.
