The Siblings

Epilogue

So this is the end, I guess...I'm really pleased with how I ended it, but I'd love opinions as well. I am taken aback by the amount of votes and reads I got these past few months on this story. It has given me self-confidence, for which I can't thank you readers enough.

Enjoy this ending and until next time, I bid you farewell.

Octipus.

Aaaaand....I posted a sequel ^.^(January 28th 2014)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I glanced nervously at the mirror in front of me, taking in the image. I was all dolled up in a white kimono that contrasted with my red hair, which was gathered on top of my head in a complicated hairdo. I shook my head and started undoing it, letting the locks fall freely down my back.

“What do you think you’re doing, Naoto?” I heard the exasperated shriek of Sakura, who rushed into the room, sliding the door back once she got in.

“I don’t like this. I want something simple, cute, ya’ know?” I sighed.

Sakura looked at me amusedly with her green eyes. “You’re so cute when you’re nervous, you know that?” she laughed, then handed me a white hood. “Here’s your wataboshi”

I took the hood from her, inspecting it carefully. “I can’t not wear anything, right?” I grinned sheepishly, batting my eyebrows.

Sakura took a mock dead serious face. “No” she said.

The door slid open again and two flashes of dark blue hair darted before me and one of them grabbed me by the cheeks.

“What the hell, Naoto-chan?” Hinata squeaked, obviously pissed at me for ruining the hairdo she’d been working on all day.

I pried her off with difficulty, careful not to rip the pristine kimono. “Chill out, Hinata! I don’t want to look like a ram at my wedding, ok?” I sort of shouted. “I’ll let you braid it”

Her sister Hanabi just laughed. Hinata huffed and threw herself on the wooden floor, sitting in the lotus position. “So what’s the plan for tonight?”

“What’s happening tonight?” I asked, looking from Sakura to Hinata, utterly confused.

My plans for the night were to cuddle with my fiancé on the couch in our living room, discussing the upcoming wedding.

Ten-Ten, Ino and Temari entered the room, grinning from ear to ear.

“We’re taking you out tonight for a bachelorette party” Temari slyly grinned.

I was shocked. “Bu-But…what about…” I mumbled.

The blonde raised her eyebrow. “Gaara? Don’t worry about him. The guys are taking him out as well”

I shook my head. “I’m not sure I want this”

“Oh, come on, Naoto!” Sakura whined. “This is our last chance to have some fun while all of us are free women! Tomorrow you have to become a fit wife for a Kage, and welcome the large number of guests with dignity. After that you’ll be married and you’ll have kids and you’ll forget how to have fun like a teenager” she lectured.

I pondered upon the idea. The pink-haired was somewhat right, and I hadn’t had much fun in my life. Two years ago, I barely stepped out of living between dragons. Then the war broke out then I became the Ambassador of Konohagakure in Sunagakure, which meant paperwork and errands and a lot of stuff on my mind. I was almost nineteen already, a mature adult and I went my whole life not having had wild teenage fun with my friends.
