My Neighbor Naruko (SasuNaru AU) ✔

Epilogue: Naruko Is The Only One For Me

The next morning, I woke up with her in my arms. I smiled at how cute she looked, and I lightly kissed her forehead as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mornin' kid," she said playfully.

"Morning," I whispered as I kissed her lips happily.

We were caught in a trance with each other. We became oblivious to the world around us, but that was quickly broken by the sound of my brother's voice.

"Hey Sasuke, can I talk to you?" I heard my brother say at the door.

Naruko and I looked at each other in fear. She looked around everywhere and spotted my window. "I'll jump out the window!" she whispered in a panic.

"Are you crazy?" I whisper shouted back.

"Naruko...you can stay...don't worry, I won't open the door," Itachi said behind the door.

We looked at each other again, feeling the hearts within each other drop in guilt.

"How did he...?" she whispered in shock as she dug herself deeper into the blanket in guilt.

"I knew what mom did was part of her plan to get you guys together...dodon't worry, she didn't tell me. I overheard the doctor talking to her about it when I stepped out of the room."

"Damn...Tsunade's such a blabbermouth..." I mumbled under my breath.

"But can I ask you something, Naruko?" Itachi asked with some pain in his voice.

Naruko looked at me in fear as I hugged her, reassuring her safety. "It's okay..." I whispered.

"Sure..." she said to Itachi.

"I noticed when we went out...all you talked about was Sasuke, so I had my suspicions about you two," he then cleared his throat and continued, "Why did you go out with me, when you liked my brother the whole time?"

Naruko stayed silent as she placed her hands over mine. She breathed out and finally spoke, "I dated you to try and forget my feelings for Sasuke. I thought, if I dated you, then I might end up liking you and forget about Sasuke...but I ended up liking him more when I was you...I'm sorry Itachi..."

He began to laugh as he replied, "Don't worry about it, I prepared myself for this when I opened the door to the room last night."

Naruko and I jolted in embarrassment. He did come in last night!

"Mom's awake by the way, and if you don't want a scene, I would have her sneak out the window. I left a ladder there last night, guessing you might need it today," he said while walking away.

Itachi...

I felt my heart drop and guilt consume me. "Itachi!" I shouted, "You're...I-"

"I know Sasuke," I heard him chuckle from outside as he told me he loved me.

Naruko giggled and kissed my cheek. "Awww I ship it."

My face flushed red as I looked at her, "Sh-shut up and get out!"

She giggled happily and made her way to the window. "Well, I gotta get going...see you in a few?"

"Of course," I replied happily.

She began to climb out the window when I called out to her: "Hey."

"Yeah?" She asked while holding onto the ladder.

I walked to the window and stuck my head out to look at her. "I love you."

Her face began to turn different shades of pink as she smiled at me happily, "I love you too, kid."

As I watched her climb down the ladder, I couldn't stop thinking about how lucky I was to have met her.

5 years later

Once I entered Highschool, I decided to take up Iruka sensei's offer about an early college education. I started taking college classes, finishing high school, and dating Naruko all at once.

After I graduated High School, I proposed to her. We got married 6 months later, and I moved into her home. We then went on a honeymoon to the hot springs in Konoha for 2 weeks. After, we went on with our busy college and working life. Soon after we found out she was pregnant. A year later, Naruko gave birth to our son Fuji.

Naruko and I were laying in bed when Fuji began to cry. "I'll get him," I said as I stood up.

"I owe you one," she replied in a haze while nodding back to sleep.

I ran to the crib quickly and gently cradled him in my arms, successfully rocking him to sleep. I slowly walked out of the room when the doorbell rang.

I walked over to the door and opened it to see my mom. "Hey Sasuke! Oooh, look at my adorable grandson~!" She said quickly ignoring me to grab my baby.

"Hi to you too..." I whispered.

"Where's Naruko?" She asked while rocking Fuji in her arms.

"Napping in the room," I replied while letting her in.

"Good. She deserves that nap," she said as she sat down on the couch.

"How's Itachi?" I asked while sitting next to her.

"He's good. He's still working in the city for that company Akaski, and he still has no girl," she said with a sigh.

"Sasuke, is that mom?" I heard Naruko ask as she came out of our room.

"Ma! How are ya?" my wife asked while walking over to her.

"Good good," she said as I got up to give Naruko my seat.

My mother looked at us with a smile.

"What?" we asked.

"Nothing...Just...Naruko, you changed Sasuke so much! I never thought he would ever get a family. Maybe a forced marriage with the Harunos, but that's it. Thank you for being our neighbor, Naruko," she said with tears forming in her eyes.

I slowly placed my arms around her and smiled, "If you were never my neighbor, I wouldn't be the happy man I am today. You were meant for me...and only me. I love you, my neighbor Naruko."
