A/N: this short chapter kind of wraps up the story.

...
A whole year had passed since Itachi and Sakura had met. They had gotten to know each other better and were now a stable couple.
Sakura, as expected, passed Tsunade's test and became a permanent medic of the Senju Hospital. Her working hours lessened and the pay was higher. She finally found the time to catch up with her friends, whom she had missed dearly in the year and a half of hard-working at the hospital.
Having less hours proved beneficial to her relationship with Itachi. They had time to spend together, free time to enjoy each other's company and immerse themselves in the life of the other.
Itachi had received a job at the Police Departments and was doing very well. He was taking a year-break from his band, the Akatsuki, but they still heard from each other quite often.
The fans, of course, had been outraged. That their beloved band was going to scatter was a shock for them, and it brought many people to hysterics. Only when it was announced that the Akatsuki was taking a pause of one year to decide what to do in the future, the fans calmed down a little.
As the year was coming to on end, Itachi began to be a little more restless. At Sakura's gentle questions, he had admitted that he missed singing with his friends. He also confessed that during that year, which he had spent with her, she had been his muse for several other songs. He had already sent those songs to his fellow band members, and they had been enthusiastic about them. They had written new songs themselves, proving that that year had been productive and useful.
When it was almost time for the band to meet again and decide what to do, Itachi knew what he wanted and discussed it with Sakura. He explained to her that he wanted to sing again, and his friends wanted to perform together as well, even though they had also all agreed to take it slow and easy. An official announcement was made, about the soon-to-be reunion of the band Akatsuki.
However, Itachi was also torn. Going back to sing meant that he would have to travel and go on tour. Which would have been fine if Sakura could have accompanied him, but she couldn't. She had her job at the Senju Hospital, a job for which she had sacrificed one and a half year of her life, and she couldn't just quit to follow her boyfriend on tour, because the job wouldn't still be there when she came back.
Therefore, Itachi was uncertain. Sakura was the most important person in the world for him. A few months before, they had brought their relationship to the next level, and they were certain of their mutual feelings. But they didn't know how to make their wishes for the future coincide.
Sakura was conflicted as well, because she wanted to support Itachi and his dreams, but she couldn't possibly leave her job. Those last days before the final decision had to be reached were torturous for both of them.
…
That was the situation, until Lady Tsunade, one morning, summoned Sakura to her office. The blonde woman was well aware of the relationship her best medic was in, and had noticed the dark shadows under her eyes in the last few weeks, which emphasized her lack of sleep over the matter.
The head of Senju Hospital, who was a good person at heart, had thought about that situation and had found a solution to make everybody happy. She herself needed someone who would be some sort of 'ambassador' and visit all the main hospitals of the region on behalf of the Senju. Sakura was the best one for the job, and Tsunade had already been thinking about asking her to do it. And since Itachi was to leave soon because of his tour, that job became extremely convenient. Especially because each city that had a hospital was also going to be a place where a concert was held.
Sakura couldn't believe it. Forgetting every restraint, she embraced the blonde woman and jumped out of the hospital to speak with Itachi, as quickly as she could.
As she expected, the black-haired man was overjoyed. They could travel abroad, he on tour with the Akatsuki band and she visiting the various hospitals, but what counted the most was that they could do it together.
And so the couple left for the new adventure.
…
…
When they came back to Konoha, many months later, Sakura was pregnant. And both she and Itachi couldn't have been any happier.
And to think that it had been an accidental meeting – caused by a horde of fangirls – and a song, written about that same accidental meeting, to bring them together.
