Hey! I'm back! And i have an Epilogue for you all. It's a quick summary of what happened to everyone and also just a continued chapter of the story...pretty much. So yeah sorry i took a while to get this up and everything but i kept forgetting. Thanks for reading!

A small black car pulled up and parked in front of what seemed like an old rusted up white truck on the side of the road. The driver's door opened and a young woman with long black hair stepped out. As she shut the door, she took her glasses off and looked at the truck before her. Then she sighed as she began to walk. Careful of on-coming traffic, she walked over to the truck's driver's door and peered inside. There were small puddles on the seats and floor and everything seemed to be ruined from being wet too long. She immediately knew who's truck it was once she recognized the belongings inside.

'Geez…what happened' She thought. Then with a sigh, she walked back over to her car and stood by the driver's door before taking her cell out of her purse. As she speed dialed a number and held it up to her ear she noticed a blond man by a dirt road trying to set up a sign. His right arm was broken and was being held up in a sling or brace – whatever you'd like to call it. She leaned over while the phone rang and read the sign.

'Spirit's Spa and Festival:

A soothing bathhouse for both Spirits and Humans

And

A field and Festival for family picnics and more

All Welcome'

As her brow raised and the young man struggled, her phone call went to an answering machine to signify the trucks owner not being able to pick up the phone.

"This is Sakura. I can't get to my phone right now so…well, you know what to do'

Hinata sighed and waited for the beep. When it was sounded, she spoke. "Sakura…hey." She said. "It's Hinata…I found your truck sitting on the side of the road." She paused when the sound of the sign falling was heard. She glanced over to the frustrated blond before moving on. "Mind calling me back and telling me what happened? You've been gone for weeks…" She watched the blond pick the sign up with one hand "Ok…call back soon"

Hinata shut her phone and set it back in her purse. Then she made her way over to the blond man with the broken arm. She hesitated at first; being the shy woman she was but soon got her wits. "E-Excuse me…" She said as he looked over. He set the sign down and backed up slightly; as if he wasn't used to being around other people. Hinata smiled and waved her hand to call him back over, and then pointed over to the sign. "D-do you need any help?" She then asked. "You seem to be having a b-bit of trouble"

"Oh…" The blonde man sighed. Then he looked up with sapphire eyes and nodded. "Yes of course" He then said. Hinata smiled back and made her way over to the sign, as well as he did. "Um…thanks…" He said as she lifted it up.

"Y-You're welcome" Hinata shyly said back as he picked up one of the wooden posts. "What kind of bathhouse owner would send a crippled guy o-out here to so this kind of work?" She then asked; mostly to start a conversation as he set the post up below the sign. He let out a sigh and then a small chuckle; making her raise a brow. "What?" She asked. "I feel that it's wrong to s-send a young man with a broken arm to put up a sign…Who is it that is your b-boss?"

"My fiancée"

"Oh…" Hinata now held the right side of the sigh as he took another wooden post. "B-but why would you fiancée make you do this?" She then asked; completely appalled and confused.

"She didn't" He answered. Hinata raised her brow once again. "I volunteered." He then said as the wood fell to the ground. "Damn wood…" He sighed and reached down to take it and stand it back up.

"Hey! I'll take it from here Noon!"

"Ino…" The blond man apparently known as Noon muttered as he glanced over his shoulder and up the dirt road. "I don't go by that name anymore remember?" He then said to the blonde woman walking down the dirt road. Hinata looked over as well and saw that she had long blonde hair and clear crystal blue eyes.

"Oh right right" She muttered as she stopped in front of him. "I keep forgetting. Sorry" She then said. The blond man now known as Naruto nodded to her and then stood up straight. After he did this, Ino walked over and grabbed the sign. "Thanks for helping Naruto, but I got it now" She told her.

Hinata nodded and let go of the sign. Then as Naruto turned to walk up the dirt road, she remembered. "Hold on please" she called out; making him stop and looked over his shoulder. "Y-your name. It's Naruto?" She asked. He nodded and she smiled. "Naruto really? Th-then that means you know Sakura right?" He nodded again with a large smile. At first Sakura didn't tell her about Naruto. But after she kept nagging about the whole 'I'm taken' thing, Sakura finally did.

"Of course I know Sakura-Chan" Naruto said as he laughed slightly. "Why?" He then asked as he set his free hand down from scratching the back of his head. "You a friend of hers?"

"Yes" Hinata answered. "Do y-you mind telling me where she is?" She then asked. It had been a long time since Sakura left the café. When she did she only mentioned leaving for about a day or two. But she ended up being gone for nearly a month. "If you know…that is…"

"Well yeah" Naruto said to her. "She's up at the bathhouse" He jerked a thumb over his shoulder. "Come on. I'll take you to her if you want to see her" Hinata nodded and he turned around to walk up the dirt road. "She shouldn't be too busy…"

"Sakura told m-me many stories" Hinata said; making him look over his shoulder as he walked. "It took her awhile to mention you but when she did she said a lot of good things. You're a fox spirit that was human once. A-And you died saving her from drowning right?" She noticed him give her a nod. "Y-you know…she really likes you. How does she feel about the whole…you having a fiancée thing?"

"Um…well she's excited…I guess"

"Huh?"

"Well why wouldn't she be?" Naruto asked. "I mean…she's my fiancée…" He then said. The news made Hinata's eyes widen in surprise as they approached an old building. They entered and he turned around to walk backwards. "Oh…and by the way" he started. "I'm not a spirit anymore." He pointed to his broken arm and smiled. "I lost my arm because I was turned into a human about two weeks ago" He told her. "It was the only way I could be with Sakura-Chan in the way I wanted…" He blushed fiercely and turned around to keep leading the way. "Oh and by the way…I'm the bathhouse owner"

"Oh!" Hinata gasped. "That's weird…s-sorry…"

"It's alright…"

They walked through a beautiful grass field that Hinata simply fell in love with. It was a beautiful sight. There were very few small groups of people picnicking here and there. Naruto mentioned that they weren't very popular yet so there weren't many customers. But they were popular with spirits, which Hinata believed in even more as she walked through the small village. Black spirits were behind counters severing food to people who seemed to not even care what they were. A spiritual place – people would call it. That's what Naruto told her. So they didn't care.

Soon they came up to a large building that Hinata immediately recognized as the bathhouse. When they crossed the bridge, she looked over the edge and saw a train go by at the bottom of a trench. Her view was interrupted as a few people walked by; blocking her view. "This place," Naruto started as he lifted the cloth at the entrance. "Serves human by day and spirit's by night." He finished telling her this as she entered as well.

As soon as they were inside a boy with black hair walked by after speaking to the pinkette by a podium. She looked up and smiled at Naruto but when her eyes caught on to Hinata she gasped in surprise. "Hinata!" Sakura yelled as she ran over in her uniform. She hugged her friend tightly and Hinata hugged back. When she pulled away she shook her head still smiling. "Hinata why are you here?" She asked. "Was there anything you want—"

"You never came back to work"

"Oh…" Sakura dropped her hands and sighed. "Sorry Hinata I…" She trialed off and looked at her fiancé. "I've been busy with this job and all…you know…I really needed to see Naruto too and...Well I ended up becoming the co-manager…" She laughed slightly and then went to say some more but Hinata beat her to it.

"Well it doesn't matter much anymore" Hinata said. "Because I quit"

"You did what?!"

"I did" Hinata answered. "I was tired of the place" She then said. Just as she explained her problem to Sakura, Naruto noticed one of the spirits that were still up and running. Kiba; the dog spirit. He was on his way over. Even if they served humans during the day, Kiba was always up to take a bath anyway. He smiled and shook the dog spirits hand before both looking at the girls again. "So pretty much…I've been needing a job for awhile now. And I'm still looking"

"Why not work here"

Both girls looked at Naruto and Sakura smiled. "That's a great idea Naruto" She said to him. He let out a proud smile as she looked at Hinata again. "You can work here Hinata" She said to her. "This place is great once you get to know the people" She pointed to Kiba. "Take Kiba here for instance. He's the dog spirit. You can help him for about a month or so and get to know him along with the other workers. If that's ok?"

"That actually sounds good" Hinata said. Sakura and Naruto smiled as she said this. Only Kiba stared with a strange love struck smile. "I'll take the job. Anything but being a waitress at an old café." She and Sakura laughed before Kiba put an arm around the timid girls shoulders.

"Great then!" He barked. "Then that means you'll be my care-taker for awhile huh?" Hinata shyly nodded and he began to walk. "Well then Miss. Hinata. Let me show you around. I know this place like the back of my dog's paw"

Sakura giggled as Hinata and Kiba disappeared around the corner. Then she looked at Naruto. "So, did Ino take over?" She asked. "I asked her to go and help because I knew you'd have trouble with your arm being broken and all."

"Meh…I could have handled it" Naruto said as she walked over to grab his black T-shirt. "Beside's…Hinata was helping me" He then said as she slowly pulled him down for a peck on the lips. "She just like…came up to me and asked to help. But I could have done it without her too!"

"I'm sure you could have…" Sakura mumbled before kissing him again. He rolled his eye and pulled away; mumbling something about Hinata's paper work now that she worked there and walked up stairs to go to his new office. She blew him a kiss goodbye and walked back over to the podium with a smile. She glanced over to the paper and when she looked up she saw two new people come in. A couple most likely. "Hi there. May I help you?"

The woman with the long red hair let out a smile that seemed almost like she was seeing a long time friend after many years. The man with her had the same bright blonde mop of spiky hair as Naruto had and he seemed to be smiling at her the same way. "Sakura Haruno…right?" He asked; walking over. Sakura nodded as the red-headed woman walked over as well. "Hello there again Sakura." He then said; setting a hand on the woman's shoulders. Sakura raised a brow and tilted her head to the side slightly.

"I'm sorry…" She mumbled. "Do I know you?"

"You probably don't remember us" The woman answered. She looked at what Sakura guessed was her husband and then back to her. "This here is my husband Minato Namikaze, and I am Kushina. I actually was once an Uzumaki" Sakura's eyes widened. Now she knew who these two were. They were Naruto's parents. She was right. They actually stumbled in one day. They actually came. "We're here because we ran into your mother and father yesterday" Kushina continued. "They spoke about you working here and also said that our son…" She trailed off as she felt tears coming to her eyes.

"Is here and alive"

It was Minato who finished for his wife and Sakura nodded. "Yes. Yes he is" She told them. Kushina began to cry in happiness as Minato let out a sigh of relief. "And actually…Naruto and I…we were planning on getting married sometime next year—"

"Really?!" Kushina asked in excitement. She looked at her husband and brought her hands up close to her face "My baby's alive!" She said to him loud and happily. "And he's getting married!" Minato let out a small laugh as Kushina hugged and cried on him.

"Can we speak to him?"

"Of course" Sakura answered with a smile. "I'll get him" She then told them as she walked over to a phone on a small table. She picked it up and dialed a number before holding it up to her ear to wait. Kushina kept rubbing her face in her husband's chest as Sakura waited. Then finally both parents of the former fox spirit looked over when the pinkette spoke. "Thanks hunny" She finally said into it before hanging up. When she turned around, she gave the couple a smile just before her fiancé slid down the hand railing. When he stopped, his face was still facing her and he smiled. Kushina nearly passed out.

"What is it Sakura-Chan?"

Sakura looked at him with a smile before looking and pointing to both his parents. He looked over and blinked at first. But when he recognized them, he flung himself off the hand railing of the stairs and quickly bowed. "What are you bowing for?" Sakura asked; setting a hand on his back. Once again, Kushina nearly passed out – but this time it was because she saw that his arm was broken. "Why don't you guys go have a talk or something?"

Naruto looked up immediately after she said this and nodded. Then he walked over to his parents; only to get attacked by a hug from his mother. He barely remembered them but he remembered her hugs as well as he remembered his hair color. Sakura smiled as she watched the man she loved catch up with his parents. They sat across from each other asking each other questions and she heard Kushina ask about the arm once. And even Minato asked about how he was lucky enough to meet Sakura again after all those years.

They talked for hours. They talked about what happened after Naruto…well…died, and they talked about how Kushina promised herself no more children no matter what. Minato mentioned going along with the promise but also was very sad about the whole…needing to be 'careful' during those passionate times. He mentioned hating it before he got used to it. Sakura's parents came in for their second time since it opened to humans and they were able to speak to Kushina and Minato as well. They had talked to them just a day before but Sakura guessed that parents spoke with each other when ever.

"Sakura-Chan" Naruto said as he walked up to the pinkette at the podium. She was writing something down on a piece of paper. Desperate for her attention and wearing a smile, he leaned in a little and stuck his face right in hers. She glanced over in the corner of her eyes. "Hey…Sakura-Chan, guess what…"

"What?"

"They're letting me keep my last name Uzumaki" He told her happily. She set the pen down and looked at him fully. "So that means you're still the future Mrs. Uzumaki." He let out a chuckle as he rubbed the bottom of his nose with his free hand. "I really like that name…don't you?"

"Yeah" Sakura answered. "I do like Uzumaki better." She then said before giving him a kiss. When she pulled away, she kept her arms wrapped around his waist and smiled up at his whiskered face "So how long did they say they were gunna stay?"

The blond looked in the upper right corner of the room to think; putting on that silly thinking face he always wore when he did so. "They said about…a week or so." He told her as he looked back down. "They still need to work and stuff. They promised me, though, that they'd come visit often. They even said they'd be at the wedding"

"Well of course they will be" Sakura told him with a small laugh. She then kissed him again and with one hand, reached over to the podium and wrote one more thing down. "Come on. The day shift is about to end. Do you wanna get some sleep or do you want to work night too?"

"Well I didn't really work…" Naruto mumbled as he pointed over his shoulder. "You know…mom and dad…" He then said. "I talked to them all day, but…I'm still tired of course" He only said the last part because Sakura raised her brow; telling him that she was tired and even if he wasn't 'they' were going to bed. "Yeah ok…let's go" He threw his good arm around her shoulders and they both started up the stairs. "Get my parents a room please" He then said to one of the frog men that had woken up for their shift. When he said it, he pointed to the two Namikaze's at the bottom of the stairs and the man nodded.

As they walked, Sakura peeked into a room. A few spirits were being handed their food by a now completely mutual Sasuke. Konan put him threw some kind of therapy that involved talking with his older brother who had died before him. Somehow it traumatized Sasuke so badly that the boy became a mute and rarely showed emotion. And speaking of emotion: Sai had finally smiled fully for the first time the week before. Ino was doing a great job on helping him with understanding friendship, teamwork, and love.

Sakura was happy about what she did to that place. It was almost hard to believe how different it was when she first went there. The spirits were mean and crude. They didn't have their real names. Naruto was…well he was exactly the same just taller and with less baby fat still hanging around. Karin never showed her face around there again and Tsunade and Shizune worked in the bath house still. Shizune volunteered to be Naruto's assistant but Tsunade wanted to be downstairs and hang around to be the second Forman. She even found out about the other Forman's little 'secret'. The book he was writing.

Sakura laughed. Now that Naruto's parents were around, there wasn't going to be anything the same when it came to her fiancé. She knew he'd probably hang around them a lot more then her now but she knew it was only because he hadn't seen them since well…he died. But now none of that really mattered. The bathhouse wasn't dangerous any longer with Sasuke being all unemotional and mute. It all made her think about what would have happened if she Sasuke hadn't of done that bad deed. She even wondered about what she would have down without Naruto. And now that every time she and Naruto went to sleep, she'd hold him tight and think about what her life would have been like if she and her parents…never took that wrong turn….
