Author's Last Note: I understand the frustration that some (or most, for that matter) of you might have. With the length of this fic, and every drama going on, it is annoying not to have them end up together. But don't fret. Because the sequel is already up and running.

Check out Of Waiting. Continue reading below for teasers.

Everyone heals in their own time. Sakura had done it in seven years: leaving Konoha, coping from Sasuke and forgetting a child she still hopes never existed.

"We won't tell her about Uchiha Madara. Instead, her real father was Sasuke. That way, the poor kid wouldn't have to go through another rejection from her dead father – not the way she had with her mother, right Sakura?" Shikamaru spat.

To which Sakura responded with a slap square on his face.

Enjoy the sequel. And review – here and there.

See you on the other story/ies.
