OK hey everyone. I am SOOOOO tired of keeping all of you guys waiting, and I just want to go work on the sequel, so I fought with my Inner-
Inner Maybelle: YO PEOPLE!
Er. Anyways...and I decided to just post this, no matter how many people STILL haven't read chapter thirty-one.
I will reply to all reviews for the epilogue and chapter thirty-one by a review reply (no duh).
Annnnnnnd...I might post a teaser for the sequel at the end of this "chapter".
I haven't decided yet.
I'm keeping you all in suspense...lol...

Disclaimer: For the last time on ITSODA; I do not own Naruto I probably never will.

In the Shadows of Dark Alleys
Epilogue
Kohona City, Southeast Suburb
Uni Lane
Sakura awoke to warmth. Blinking, she sat up.
"Ah, you're awake. Great. TSUNADE, SHE'S AWAKE!"
Bam! "You don't need to shout!" Tsunade screamed.
Irony.
"But-"
"Jiriaya, I'm warning you…"
"OK OK," Jiriaya put up his hands. "I'm being quiet now."
"Good. Hello, Sakura."
"Tsunade," Sakura smiled.
"Are you OK?"
"I'm fine," I need Sasuke…
"Well, good,' Tsunade smiled. "I would not dream of keeping you from your friends, so…"
Silence. Tsunade huffed.
"DAMMIT, JIRIAYA, THAT WAS YOUR CUE!"
"Really?" Jiriaya looked confused.
'YES!'
"Sorry…"
There was a whoosh, and Sakura found herself, Tsunade, and Jiriaya outside SBK's hideout.
"Good luck, Sakura…" Tsunade winked. "See you around."
Sakura waved. "Good-bye."
'later."
Whoosh.
They were gone, and Sakura found herself standing on SBK's stone steps alone. Sighing, she pulled open the door.
Kohona City, North Suburb
SBK North Hideout
Everyone's head turned.
Sakura was standing there.
Rika, Ino, and Elena just about cried.
Sakura smiled. "Hey guys."
She blinked, and Sasuke was next to her, hugging her tightly.
"You idiot," He murmured in her ear. "We had no idea where you were…You had us worried."
"Sorry," She said, looking around. Everyone looked incredulous. It had bene two hours since Ino, Shikamaru, and Kiba had stepped in the door.
Suddenly, her eyes connected with Rika's, and her grip and Sasuke dropped.
"Sakura…"
"Rikee….Eena…" She whispered, quietly, crying just a little bit.
Sasuke stepped to the side, and there was a reunion between two of the most powerful Harunos.
"I missed you," Rika said.
"I thought you were dead," Sakura said.
"Obviously not," Rika said dryly. The two sisters laughed.
"Sakura…" Gaara said. "Can you…"
But she had already spotted what he was talking about. She crouched next to the unmoving Sia and placed a glowing green hand on Sia's forehead. "She's in regular sleep now. She'll be fine when she wakes up."
"good," Gaara murmured, kneeling beside Sia and brushing her hair out of her eyes.
Sakura smiled.
"Did…did you win?" Tenten asked.
"Yes. SESG is no more."
Everyone sighed in relief.
Sasuke hugged her once more.
"I missed you," Sakura said.
"Same."
"N-n-naruto…" Hinata said, twiddling her fingers. "I…love you."
"Really? ME TOO, HINATA!"
THUMP.
"…"
"Don't kill him, Neji!" Tenten said, grabbing the back of the Hyuuga's shirt and pulling him away from Naruto, who was frantically trying to get Hinata to wake up.
'Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered, trying to sleep against Ino.
"SHUT UP SHIKAMARU!' Ino hit him on the head, causing him to utter another, 'Troublesome.'
Sakura smiled.
They were family…
…And she was home.
THE END…
FOR NOW

I have decided to put the teaser here.
TEASER 4 From Shadows to Dusk:
Sakura was staring out the kitchen window, musing, when she heard a knock on the door.
She ran over to it and opened it.
There was Kin, looking as if something terrible had happened.
Oh no, Elentra sighed.
"Sakura!" She gasped. "Sai…he's…"
"Kin, calm down," Sakura ushered her friend in. "Come in, sit down, and tell me what's wrong."
Kin did that. As Sakura grabbed her some tea, the black-haired, green eyed female pressed her hands together, looking like she was going to cry.
Sakura handed Kin the tea. "Alright Kin. What's up?"
"It's…Sai. He's…gone!"
Sakura felt something sink in her stomach. "You mean…"
"He's missing! I haven't seen him for three days!" Kin said, her hands flying up to her face.
And...so there's your teaser.
Wooooooo.
Wow.
I'm sad.
ITSODA has ended.
BUT, FSTD (From Shadows to Dusk) will soon begin, so don't be TOO sad.
Wow.
I feel VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY sad.
No flames (I thought you would've learned by now...JEEZ!) but do leave a review.
I HOPE YOU ALL READ THE SEQUEL!
