~Closure For One ~

:: The Station ::

On a cold misty afternoon, days after leaving the warmth of the hospital and dealing with the strenuous court scenes, spelled a new beginning for everyone. Those getting ready to pack it all up and go, were happier than others. Some had something to say though before it all could end for now.

"Put on your gloves." Sasuke hurried over to the bunny once out of his car, helping her get them on. He loved that smile he couldn't act on. It gave him a reason to fight his insomnia. Life had become kind of draining with the meds he had to take, court calling him out of bed and so on. More importantly, he had to worry about her too. Good thing she was doing alright better than him.

"It's n-not that cold." She mumbled, accepting his care outside the police station. She could see the sleep he fought against and so appreciated his constant assistance.

"That's because of me." Which is true. He fixed her scarf, hat, and the gray all weather coat that he made her wear. "You can take it all off if you want the sniffles." He smiled softly at that shake of her head that made her locks bounce about. "Is it that bad for real?"

She nodded, turning to hurry and get inside. She then blushed when she had to move her hand away because he tried to hold it. "N-No!"

"What if he's planning something?" Over the days they'd spent healing together, a discussion of the events passed came to be, so it made him a bit anxious for this meeting. He did not like how the blond wanted to know about their relationship afterwards and now he requested to talk to her. "He could try to lie to you to win you back and-"

"Sasuke." She hushed him with a digit to his lips at the door, moving that hand down to fix his coat too. He had a bad habit of letting his collar pop up like a vampire. "I'll be okay. Just wait outside with Kakashi for me. Take a nap too!"

"I'm good... Your dad cop thinks I'm copying him to lure you in by the way." He and that guy did have an argument over eye patches, so Kakashi went out and got a navy mask instead.

Hinata thought it was the cutest thing. "No he doesn't. I think he's starting to like you actually." She patted his shoulder, entering with her one-eyed wolf to the noisy station. "So play nice and take it easy, please... I'll be right back."

"Hinata, there you are." Kakashi sat his cup down from his half-assed sitting position on the front desk. "I see you brought... him...with you." He gave the sweet girl a tender hug, eyeing the tired raven over her shoulder who glared at him right back. "Why wear a patch if you're just going to cover it with your hair?"

"Why cover your mouth if it's just your eye that's busted?"

"Guys." Hinata frowned, making both men concerned so much that they immediately tried to give their cases. She blandly looked to them, seeing a sleep-deprived wolf and an older white wolf plead their point dramatically.

"He started it though, Hinata. I really don't see why he's even here." Kakashi grumbled when the raven came up beside him and challenged his word.

"See?" He grunted. "You sure? I'm here clearly because I can't drive by myself."

"Then you should have stayed home."

"But I have to protect her!" Sasuke shot back with too much energy exerted, bringing him to hold up against the glass window nearby. He struggled anyway when the cop tried to help him.

"That's what I'm here for." He put the man's arm around his shoulder to assist him in standing, arguing with him regardless. "Or do you not see this badge?"

The raven saw it, he just didn't acknowledge it. "I see you need to retire." That did it right there and they got in each other's face quick, electric sparking until they noticed their adoring audience member was leaving this nonsense. "Hinata!"

"Wait, I'll walk yo-"

"No, I will!"

"Will you two stop it already." Hinata rolled her eyes and smiled back to the idiots struggling to get through the door because they had to enter at the same time. "I'll be okay. Kakashi, make him rest for me please." She caused them to worry more once her kind-self exited from their sights.

'Stupid old man!' Sasuke considered going to jail today. "Why won't you accept me around her?!"

"Look where that's gotten the both of you" His over protectiveness didn't come from nothing but at least he could tell the raven was not too hard-headed. He helped him over to a bench and sat him down. "You look like you're about to pass out at any minute."

"I'm fine..."

Kakashi shook his head at that stubbornness, dropping down some ways beside him with his arms back on the bench. He glanced at the raven slumping against a filing cabinet nearby. "When's the last time you slept?"

"The night before they cleared me."

"Days ago then?"

"Yeah…" Sasuke nodded, closing that eye for just a few seconds.

"How come?" He propped a leg with an ankle on a knee. "Are you really that worried about her?"

"I messed up so of course. I shouldn't have left her alone with him after we..." During the trials, he was asked a lot of questions that made him doubt himself. "Naruto nearly got off because of it."

"Hardly. I think you're just embarrassed the tape was seen by a few other people It does make you both look bad but… Sakura admitted to a lot of things that helped put them away." Kakashi had never seen a more honest suspect ever in his life. "Her mother is still quite pissed though. You should be happy."

"How can I, when I could have stopped this…"

"Easy. No one died." For him that's one hell of a good day. "That's why Hinata is doing so well and you should cheer up too. They're going away for a long time and the only thing you lost was 25% use of your arm, an eye, and possibly all hope of going out with her."

Sasuke opened that one optic and narrowed it to the man. "You sound happy about that."

"Do you think you deserved to leave unscathed?" Kakashi got him to think about that, brow up to his silent head shake. "No?"

"I think this is payback for what I did to Naruto… again actually but not intentionally this time."

"Which is probably why you're alive or anyone is."

"Are you Death himself?" Sasuke flat out asked the closet pervert who chuckled and shrugged.

"Break her heart and I can be." He warned the startled raven on the sly with a pat to his holster.

"You know what, I'm starting to think your gun didn't accidentally go off in that courtroom, did it?" That stunt got the cop dismissed from the rest of the case. "You missed his head by an inch."

"Actually, he sneezed." Kakashi doesn't miss. The universe screws him over and makes that happen. Everyone in the courtroom was astounded, including him who dropped the gun in shock like he didn't know what happened. "It was an unfortunate accident."

"Sure." Sasuke shook his head, staring at the window where Hinata was finally getting done being searched. She had to remove her coat and such, resulting in her neatly folding it all. "Has he said anything strange?"

"Not to me." And for that, Kakashi and the raven shared a concerned look to each other.

:: The Ex-Husband ::

Hinata didn't know what to expect and it left her butterflies all in a steel wing flight to protect her. She prolonged it by taking care of her clothes to the confusion of the jailer. When she had nothing to fold, she gave a small apologetic bow and then finally went in. She had twenty minutes. She entered through that door and instantly felt uncomfortable... She was bothered by that greeting smile of his behind the glass and his weird wave like this was a casual thing. "Naruto?"

He nodded, not saying anything until she sat down. "Hey, Hinata. How are you doing?"

"... I'm okay." She didn't think it was right how he wore his prison uniform and looked so comfortable and anxious at the same time. "I take it you're fine."

"Fine? I'm… Hinata, I'm going away for life." His grin didn't fade though which troubled her more. "I mean I know I should be upset but what for? It's not like you put me here. I did that. Can't give you all the credit." He tried to lighten the mood to get her to chill but it wasn't working. It was barely helping him get by.

"What do you want, Naruto?"

"To apologize."

"..."

"Don't believe me? That's fair. I think I'm lying to myself too like this really isn't happening, you know? I'm… I'm actually going to jail for life with the possibility of parole! A possibility..." He repeated with an uneasy laugh and clasp of his hands together on the surface. Adjusting to the news is still jarring for him. That's what the court had ruled however, but hopefully the deal Mebuki struck could change that in the future. "It all seems a bit surreal even now. My head has been non-stop and- I just wanted to make sure you were well. Heard you were moving from here... That's good. Are you going home?"

"That's not your concern." Hinata would rather him never know where she was.

"Okay, okay. Then let me say this, I hope we never see each other again until we've moved on past this. I doubt we ever will but… there's no harm in asking, right?" Her slight shrug was enough for him. "So, are you still talking to Sasuke? I thought I heard him out there." He might have forgiven her but he still had a bad disdain for the raven bastard. "Is he treating you okay?"

She stayed silent, staring at him skeptically because he had a strange need to know.

"You're really not going to tell me?"

"Does it bother you that much?" She looked to his hands he held tight and then hid under the table. "I don't see why it should."

"It doesn't. I'm just asking to be polite." Naruto bounced a leg under the table for that was a huge lie. Seeing them together in court was bad enough. He thought it was because of his hate for Sasuke. The truth was that since he made this happen himself, he lost her over his own doing. If he hadn't, then the raven's advances on her would have meant nothing. They wouldn't be here like this... That's why he kept staring at her like he didn't know what to say. Jail has granted him way too much time to think about everything he lost for a cell room. "Do you remember when we got married?"

Hinata barely tilted her head up and down, unsure why he was bringing that up. "You mean our private wedding?"

"Yes! You uh… You wanted to wear a purple dress because it was just us and I said no since it wasn't traditional and what not." He grinned despite that frown on her lips. "I actually bought you that dress you wanted though. It's in storage."

"Why are you telling me this now…?" Or why wasn't this spoken of then? She had no idea but it was beginning to make her shift in her seat.

Naruto shrugged and blushed faintly, pointing to her head with those chains on his wrist coming up. "Because of your hair. It's the color of your hair…"

Hinata touched her short locks at a loss. 'My hair?'

"Hey, why did you cut it? Did he ask you too?"

So this is about Sasuke again... She rolled her eyes and got up from the seat, shocked to see him touch the glass and look kind of afraid for her to go.

"Five more minutes. I just need five more minutes." Prison was calling his name and Sakura didn't pop up into his mind whenever he was afraid. She'd yell at him to get over it. His ex-wife would… hold him or something silly like that. This brought him to think of all those precious little things that were now just gone. A warm home is no longer a luxury. Driving or waking up to her giggling self, all of that is just out of his reach for a very long time. So, he had to accept what he could get. "I won't say anything."

Hinata sighed and sat back down for the short minutes requested. There she experienced what it was like when she first crushed on him but in reverse and unknown. She was the uncomfortable one now and he was her unsure shot-nerves. Each timid glance up put a shot of warmth on his face. She didn't get why nor did she want to put up with the weird behavior any longer. "I c-can't. I have to go," she said in a hurry, lifting from that seat and hustling off to get out of there.

"Hinata! I really am sorry, I-!" He sat back down when she was long gone, stuck gazing at the iron on his wrist. 'She really doesn't… I'm actually going to-' And he just kept thinking about it all.

:: Oh Bunny, It's Okay ::

Hinata went straight into Kakashi's arms since he was there waiting for her. She was held securely and petted to ease her distraught state. "Thank y-you."

"Did he say something that awful to you?"

"No." She shook her head and exhaled against him, wanting to erase that weird sensation she was feeling. "I think he… I don't know. I don't want to see him again."

Kakashi thought that was best too. "Just say the word and his bus will never make it there."

"Kakashi!" Hinata gasped and snickered nonetheless, hugging him tighter. "You need to stop before someone hears you."

"I'll make them vanish too. I have many connections." He joked with her to help her calm down, grateful for the smile he put on there. "Look what I did to Sasuke."

"What?" She looked around him, becoming grumpy at the lack of the wolf in sight anywhere. "You d-did not!"

"You're right. I didn't. He's speaking with Sakura right now on the phone." Kakashi guided her in the opposite direction to the break room. "I told him he needed to settle some things."

"Settle..." She didn't want to be nosy but, "Settle what?"

The cop reminded her it was all going to be okay in a bit. "Don't worry. He's doing the right thing for now. Till then, we need to have a talk about him."

"Okay..." Hinata became distracted from her search given how grave he sounded. "What did he do?"

:: The Ex-Wife ::

Sakura didn't expect this at all. She was in her orange jumpsuit, about to get on her ride to the women's prison before someone told her she had a call. She assumed it was Ino but she'd already told her to stay away for a while to keep out of the picture. Denying her hand in anything was easy enough. The person they said had actually called though, brought her running back in the place to the cord phone. She answered it eagerly, probably too excited. "Sasuke?! What- Why are you- Are you okay?!" He looked fine during the trials though a bit on the drained side. "Shouldn't you be sleeping or someth-"

"You're talking too fast."

She bit back and nodded, too overjoyed to hear his voice. She was sure he'd not want to speak to her after her mother tried to get him thrown in jail instead. "Sorry. I'm just surprised is all…"

"Me too... I'm leaving soon."

Random but, "Huh? You mean you're moving?" Sakura gripped the phone like that would keep him there. "But why? We won't see each for a while and even when we can we shouldn't- What about your parents? Your brother!"

"That's not going to change no matter where I'm at."

"I suppose but- Oh… I get it now. You're going with her then, aren't you?" She hid her gloom with a smile he could not see. "That's good."

"How are you doing?"

'Of course he won't say anything about it.' Sakura leaned against the wall, face scarred with polka dot wounds that would heal oddly over time. The bandages made her look like a mummy and would be quite a conversation starter along with all the bruises. "My new home is a cell block, Sasuke. I'm not happy but there's not much I can do is there? I'll be okay."

"Figured you'd be."

She smiled at his words that brought out the good in her to appreciate them. "Sasuke… Sasuke I really do stil-"

"Thanks."

"Huh? You mean for the case?" That had to be it because he didn't let her finish. "You're welcome! My mother wouldn't of won anyway even wit-"

"That's not what I meant."

She stilled after holding the phone closer, heart beat racing to bring a glow to herself. "For what then…?"

"The good things. Our start was wrong just like our end so… the in between was okay."

"It was!" She smiled in happy tears that stopped at his next words.

"But we should have never been together. I don't want you to forget that."

Sakura nodded slowly. "W-Why?... We had some real good times though."

"Of course. I loved you... I'm saying it was an accident and one I don't regret, but we won't be able to move on if we don't acknowledge it shouldn't have even happened. We wouldn't be here if it was meant to be."

That gave her broken heart a reason to snap back in place. "Heh, you do what you want though and so do I."

"And that's selfish."

"It's us."

"Not anymore… I do hope for nothing but the best for you after all this."

"Being the bigger man now, huh? You sound exhausted already." She grinned despite a tear rolling down her cheek, breathing staggered some.

"Goodbye, Sakura."

Another drop escaped at her name then as she stared ahead to that open door waiting for her. She put the phone back on the hook slowly and then slumped to the floor. He'd given no snide remark back. He really meant it. 'Sasuke, I'm-…!' She hugged her knees and cried out this heartache that would have time to mend. The love she had would never be requited and that pain would be everlasting.

:: Somebody Fetch His Soul ::

Sasuke had his hand on the phone still, hoping that was the right thing to do. He then let go with a sigh for his own first breath of life, walking away. He left his old ways behind with her, a choice given to him to start this change. He was told to strive for something with less pain and strife. To settle old ways and bury them. It wouldn't be easy but it was a start. The journey already annoyed him. He missed his damn bunny who was nowhere to be seen. He needed a hug or to annoy her or something. He went to the break room like he was instructed, finding three people within. One was in a corner reading a newspaper and the other two were… Hinata and some guy in deep conversation. She was blushing and the other guy was looking as relaxed as ever. "Excuse me?"

"S-Sasuke, there you are!" Hinata tried her best. "This is Shikamaru. K-Kakashi called him here for me!"

"He did? " Don't flip out. Calm down. He doesn't know the full situation so he should think twice about this. The raven swallowed hard and looked to the man with the unlit cigarette in his mouth. "Is there something going on that I missed?

"Just catching up." Shika lazily propped an arm on the window sill and nodded to the bunny. "Can you believe he let's her walk around by herself?"

"Sometimes..." Sasuke held it in when she giggled a lot for some reason at this guy who shrugged his response. He felt a little self-conscious but he had to gulp that down too. "So do you work with Kakashi?"

"Rarely, man. He says I take too long but I'm still never late for anything."

"Even when he's n-not trying he's good." Hinata clapped for him, gushing over how he scratched his cheek all bashful like.

"You would know, wouldn't you, Hina?"

'Hina?!' It's going to be okay. Sasuke's bad eye nearly started bleeding from strain when the calm guy had the nerve to flick at her hair. She even got all in a mood about it. 'What the fuc-Who the fuc- Why the fuc-' He was losing his mind and trying his hardest not to let it out. "So. You two know each other. Then?"

Shika raised a brow with interest to the man's tone that shifted with each word. "Yeah. We were childhood friends actually. We played tag, hide and seek, husband and wife, and so on. Brat stuff." The pain he was putting this man through was as entertaining as promised. He took that cig out of his mouth and smirked at the raven. "She liked playing husband and wife a little too much."

"No I d-didn't." She fidgeted with her coat, pouting and then turning a bright red when the guy lifted up and put an arm around her.

"Yes you did. How many kids did you want with me? I think it was five. I told her I don't know about that. Our playhouse could only fit us." He put that cancer stick back between his lips and then went searching for his lighter. "Shit, hold on." He took it back out to ask the silent raven, "You got a light?"

Sasuke should've guessed this would happen. Of course there is another guy. There's always another guy. He'd not make the mistake he did last time though so he said, "No... I don't, but allow me to go find you one."

"Really? Thanks."

"Don't mention it." He was choking inside. He turned slowly, leaving with this aura of dismay.

"Could you make it quick? I need to puff this one out before my wife gets here."

Uchiha Sasuke then felt like a truck had hit him at those words. It drove through him so hard that it took his soul right from his body. That's all that was left standing in the doorway as he heard the bunny behind him laughing and getting louder with it by the minute.

Next Kakashi came around with the drop of the newspaper and clapped for him. "Well done, Uchiha. I really expected you to show some possessiveness there."

"What about me? I should of been a fucking actor." Shikamaru and the woman he'd only met today, shared a high-five for their work done. "You too."

"Hehe, I know right." Hinata beamed, turning to see her wolf drop to the ground. "S-Sasuke!"

"I think we might have overdid it a bit." Kakashi got up to see the raven was out cold and stunned, one eye in a daze. "Or he did… You should seriously get him home to get some sleep."

"If he needs a shot, my woman's a nurse." Shikamaru offered, hands tucked in his pockets.

"There's n-no need for that. I'll take care of him." She assured them with a deep fluster of pink because her handsome wolf had the cutest face when out of it. She couldn't help but cradle the poor man's head.

"Alright then but tell him when he wakes up, I might approve of this if he can keep resisting his bad habits."

Hinata nodded and smiled at her cop father, all thrilled inside. Back to the fainted Uchiha who finally got some rest, she hugged him dearly. 'I told you he was beginning to like you!'

:: Moving Day- Hinata ::

Today is the day.

Time to pack it up.

On Hinata's end, she only had a few things to get from the house. Naruto's truck was taken for evidence but she didn't want it anyway. All she had were her clothes really and yoga mats. Not much but it was hers. The blond had given her range to his bank but she refused. Like her raven dog of darkness, she wanted her own stuff too. That doesn't mean she'll reject help constantly though.

Kiva was kind enough to gift everyone meal packages for the road as her goodbyes. She smiled and thanked the woman for being so pleasant, glad she stayed free of the drama.

The only thing she was sad about was not hanging out with the raven's mother. She was so busy with everything and when their paths could cross, one of them was somewhere else. Like her son though, Mikoto promised her she could always come down for a visit with her husband who was in a mood because his baby boy was leaving. She found it so cute how Sasuke refused to talk to his father who wanted him to stay. Even Itachi shed a few tears and was reluctant to let go of his troublesome brother.

She smiled at the scene in her head, carrying one of five boxes of her things to her sister's car. "What am I thinking about? Nothing," she lied over her new phone bought by her sister. "I was not b-being quiet."

"Are you talking to him agai- Get off your phone!" Little sis came around to mess with the oldest. "You guys have been talking everyday. I'm here too." She fake cried and held onto her waist. "I need to make up for so much!"

"Oh my go- Hanabi! It's o-okay." She put the box in the trunk and held her kin back lovingly enough. "Huh? No, my sister is being clingy is all."

"Clingy?!"

"Heh, yeah, like you."

"You're not even listening to me." Hanabi was released soon, bringing her to pout and cross her arms. "Hinata."

The bunny twirled a strand of her hair on her walk back in the house for the fourth box since Kona was coming out with two in his arms. "I'm not clingy. I never s-said that. That's a-all you." She blushed like mad over their conversation that was mostly teasing now-a-days since they couldn't date yet.

The bodyguard shook his head, coming over to his own denial that glared him down hard. "What I do?"

"If they get together before us, we're going to have a problem!" She bumped his chest with a digit.

He kind of smiled goofy like and said to her surprise, "Okay... Want to go out when we get back then?"

"What- No! Not now anymore since I had to threaten you!" She could glow redder than her sister sometimes, turning to barge off. "Neji, keep him from me please!"

"But Hanabi-" He swallowed his tongue when the cousin came out of the car with that baby in his arms like he'd still drop him if he made another move. "Neji-san!"

"Kona." His little girl had two pink ribbons in her hair and was happily sucking away on that bottle, watching her daddy do the death stare of a lifetime. "Why don't you sit up front with me for a while?"

"Yes, sir..."

"But don't get down about it. I'm sure she'll come around soon…. My wife still hasn't forgiven me for dropping her phone in the baby bath." Which is why he had to take his bundle of joy everywhere with him.

"So I'm S.O.L then."

"We both are." Neji sighed, looking down to the baby that favored her mother. She gurgled and spit up some, starting his punishment already. He pulled out a napkin from the fanny pack and got to cleaning her up. He then looked up to see Hinata returning all in her happiest face he'd ever seen on a phone call. "Sasuke, still?"

"Ten out of ten." Konohamaru chuckled.

"How is he? I haven't met him yet."

"Me either personally. I've seen him during the trials but communication was limited in case of nduced biased talk among the witnesses and such." He smiled at how she didn't notice them talking about her and the raven at all, going back in for the last box. "Kakashi says he's okay and we'll know for sure since he's moving down there with us."

"With you?" Neji quickly gave his child back her bottle when she started to dry cry from all the cleaning he did unconsciously.

"With friends I mean! He's got some help down there."

"That's good. I was about to say it's a bit soon." He and Tenten dated for a year or so. "Do you think he's serious about her?"

"I hope so." Kona said with a dip in his lips. "I'd hate another repeat."

:: Moving Day- Sasuke ::

Suigetsu stirred awake in the moving van, shaking his head. "No, no, no, no, no." He took one look out the rear view mirror to see his fears were still true. The raven was on his damn phone, seeming to barely help Karin get everything else into the back. "No-" And then he lost consciousness, hitting head first on the now cushioned dashboard.

Jugo looked up from his phone to the passed out man, shaking his head. His task was simple. He had to drive, tilt Suigetsu back upright and fix his seat belt. He did so diligently after he was told what happened, afraid to leave them alone for even a minute.

"Did you hear him screaming?" Sasuke smirked on his own cell, walking around in the tank top she last wore that smelled so much like her he had to wear it. "It is getting old, what are you talking about? Karin's laughing though still."

"That's because you don't understand. Suigetsu never gets like this. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts." She put up the ironing board and hurried around to the passenger side. There she quickly opened the door and stole five kisses from her husband.

The raven chuckled and slipped that towel from around his shoulder to wipe his face. They had a lot of crap to move and it was a bit hot outside. "Yeah, she's assaulting him again. Jealous?" He smiled at how confused she got over the phone. "Why? Because you want to do that to me." The second she hung up, he started laughing behind a palm, calling her back just to hear her hang up in his face. Text messages went out from then on. "She's pissed."

"You keep messing with her so of course!" Karin shouted with her butt hanging out the car, still loving on her dramatic fool. "Try sending her a selfie."

"A selfie?" He never thought about that. Then again, he didn't really take pictures of himself so he had no idea what to do. "Help me out."

"Aghhh, fine." She trudged from the truck and snatched his phone. "Alright now smile."

"Smil-?"

She took the picture right then.

:: On The Road ::

Neji was dead asleep on the passenger side on the window, taking his first nap in days as the bodyguard drove. Behind him sat his cousins; one asleep and the other up on her phone with the baby in her arms.

The tiny thing was having a ball giggling over the funny picture her auntie was showing her.

"Isn't he a f-funny looking wolf, Torimi?" Hinata held the happy child with an arm around her, hugging her close on her lap. She kept her voice down the best she could, enjoying this shot of the raven caught in the moment of looking affronted about something. "This is his permanent face all the time." And she loved it.

He had that small hint of a canine showing. Put on a tail and ears, and she had a handsome wolf-man picture. Consider it her new lock screen. Now every time she tried to open her phone, she'd see his funny face that looked like it was saying, 'Do you really want to open your phone? Do you really want to open your damn phone? Really?!' It tickled her too much to imagine. She had to send one back. She hugged her niece close and kissed the bundle of laughs on the forehead.

That should do.

:: And Still Thinking Of You ::

Sasuke had to ride with Karin snoring like a truck in his passenger seat because she'd never stop messing with her husband if she drove with him. Since he wasn't supposed to be driving without constant surveillance, he had to be careful when he checked his phone. Suigetsu would never forgive him if he got into a wreck with his wife. At the next red light, he checked his phone quick enough, taking an arrow to his heart that received another right off the bat. This was the cutest thing he'd ever seen in his life. The damn kid had black hair too so it was easy to imagin- He needed to stop looking at it for a second.

'A month.' He has to wait.

Then they date, move in together, work together, and maybe eventually marry? All that good stuff.

He smiled like no one was watching. He then took a picture of Karin's mug with her mouth open wide and all. He sent it to Hinata and asked her to switch with him. Of course the topic of kids came up and he told her he didn't mind the little bastards. He was a big one himself. Her lol was something he wished he could hear and see.

Her and that baby became his home screen since his lock screen was already claimed. A certain woman in a yellow dress from the past he'd like to go back and meet, took that spot. Her long hair fell around her shoulders and she had the shyest smile. Which made unlocking to get to her in the present, even more wonderful.

The car behind him blew because of his prolonged staring, but he didn't rage though he had the urge. Looking at her and that baby, subsided that. He put his phone down and drove on off to catch up with Jugo, safely responding only when he could.

~ Small Conclusion ~

Sasuke did land a temporary job after a lot of convincing.

And Hinata secured a good place for practice while going to college.

But do the pair actually get married?

Yes.

How, is the question.

Well it all happened when the wolf put on a bright pink, tutu dressed bear suit.

A/N: I glossed over the court scenes with mentions because my tv show knowledge surely would not do it justice.

I pray that's okay because...

We MADE IT! You are all free to hop off right here unless you'd like to see their lives afterwards, meeting the parents, what happened to NaruSaku, little babehs, and so on. That will be a separate book because the thirst is over! The second one will be more SasuHina centric, fluff, drama, strictly suggestive themes, Karma's debt collecting, and the final end to the hate.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT!

I am so grateful for EVERY comment, no matter the context. I saw some of you liked the happier ending and even the darker ending too. The comments made me smile so damn much! More importantly, I deeply appreciate you all for just taking the time to read ANY OF IT and still sticking through the good and the bad! That means a lot for my first story so thank you T.T! I'm about to play out the TY phrase so get ready.

EVERY fav, follow, and inbox, I've adored for days. You've all been so patient and understanding that it's given me a lot of courage to push through out of my norms to write more. I've been scribbling a lot of parodies and hopefully new ideas to come. Those stories will likely be posted with the second part to this or before.

I thank you again over 9 thousand times!

I love y'all so much! T.T

See you all soon hopefully.

And the word, it was 'mine.'

'You are so fucking mine.'

~ Have a lovely day and a hopefully satisfying read. XoXoXo ~
