Chapter 1
Changing Rooms
It was a blissful, blazing, sunny evening.
The bells of Konoha High had struck at quarter past four, it was now half five and students still roamed the school.
They were either: reading in the library, doing paperwork in the student council office or doing some sort of sport outside.
Heavy beats in rhythm shook the ground as long, skinny tanned legs ran round the wide yet long path.
Slight huffs and puffs escaped past light plump pink lips, taking sharp intakes of breath as the runner came down from their pace.
Placing their slightly sweaty hands on their knees they glanced at their watch.
The school closed at quarter to 6, meaning she still had time to shower and change.
Smiling at her run of 10 laps round the track she lightly walked over to the bench to grab her water bottle and her light pale orange towel.
Sipping the refreshing water she scanned round her surroundings.
The track was in front of her that went in a wide circle, and behind her was the field where the boys were currently playing football.
Glancing over her shoulder she shook her head as she saw Kiba tackle Sasuke only to be dodged, and then of course the whistle was blown once again.
She never did understand the fun in football.
Sure she was a full out tomboy but to run around a muddy field, kicking a ball and then hopefully scoring a goal for about a good hour and a half, it just wasn't her thing.
But the boys were on an entire different level; well it was either football or black ops 2!
Gosh, the girls could not stand those two names but then the boys couldn't stand the words weight and shopping either.
But then, neither did Naruto for that instance.
If anything she preferred running, she could lose herself in her thoughts, her music or just blank out the world.
On the odd occasion she'd have someone join her, Sakura and Ino when they weren't drooling over boys or working on the newest magazine for the school.
Tenten had martial arts but once or twice made it but that was rare.
Hinata was the most frequent of the four girls; however that didn't mean she didn't have studying, work or the library to go to.
Today, on the other hand, Hinata was watching Kiba making a fool of himself at football because they were celebrating their anniversary of two years together!
Naruto rolled her eyes, making sure she had everything before walking over to the changing rooms.
Sparing a glance towards Hinata who waved at her, she flashed a tired smile before diving into the changing rooms.
Walking over to her locker she grimaced at the smell of sweat, putting her key in the lock she unlocked the locker and pulled out her stuff.
Grabbing a towel, shampoo, conditioner and a body wash she quickly walked into the showers.
Humming the theme of Titanium she washed herself, smiling at the cold water cascading over her tanned body.
Finally, after scrubbing her head and smothering her body in body wash she stepped out of the shower feeling fresh and much to her liking squeaky clean.
Quickly getting changed into a pair of light blue denim shorts, a short sleeved top which was covered in white and blue stripes, the top hung quite low so a light dove grey spaghetti-strapped top covered her chest.
On top of the grey top proudly hung a necklace which had a heart with her boyfriend's face on it and next to it was a small circle which had a red and white fan on it.
Her boyfriend had the same, apart from there being a picture of her and the circle held an orange swirl on it.
Running a hand through her chest length silky, fresh, blonde hair she smiled, grabbing her school bag and placing her stuff in it.
Yawning, which showed a row of pearly white teeth, she put on her scruffy, old, pale pair of orange converses before exiting the changing rooms.
Making her way over to Hinata she flashed a grin as the quiet girl waved from where she sat on a bench.
Not sparing a glance at the football she sat next to Hinata, who greeted her "Ohayo Naruto how was your run?"
Naruto chirpily replied "It was good although I still can't believe this heat!"
"Sorry I couldn't-" Hinata started her apology only for Naruto to cut her off with a swift shake of her hand.
"Eh, its fine Hina, besides you should be looking forward to this date with Kiba! You've been dating him, for what? Two years now? That's something to celebrate!"
Hinata blushed, lightly giggling before replying "In a couple of weeks though won't it be yours and Sasuke's?"
"A year in two weeks' time…yeah, I still can't believe he fancied me back then…"
Hinata giggled, saying "It's still a mystery on how you two hooked up anyway!"
Naruto looked at her with wide eyes asking in astonishment "You mean I never told you?!"
Hinata shook her head just as another female voice replied "You didn't tell anyone!"
Naruto, who had her back towards the female, jumped and turned round to see Ino, Sakura and Tenten standing there with questioning looks.
Sighing she told them, after the three girls joined them on the bench.
"Well, it basically happened like this…"
Now, if she could remember correctly it had all started when she asked a guy, called Dosu, if they could swap so she could help Sakura in cooking her meal.
Dosu, being the nice guy he was, swapped with no complaints, sadly the fish that they were meant to cook slipped out of his hands and into the frying pan that ended up catching on fire.
They, thankfully, managed to stop the flames from spreading however Dosu got picked on from then on, more than the usual.
Naruto could still remember how these bullies had sprayed Dosu with the hose for a while, everyone silently watching…
Sasuke turned off the tap, telling the bullies to scat before he took them to Tsunade's office.
They wisely chose to scat.
She had tried to ask Dosu if he was alright but Sasuke told her to leave it for another time.
A week later Dosu got the bullies back with the fire extinguisher; he went pretty insane so she tried to stop him.
Dosu ended up blaming her for the entire thing and therefore got ready to throw the extinguisher at her.
Everyone was shouting, telling him not to but he did.
Naruto didn't take the hit though, Sasuke jumped out of nowhere taking the hit for her.
She ended up taking him to the nurse's room, scolding him all the while, and watched as Sasuke had to have his back covered in bandages.
His only reply from all her scolding was "I don't want my dobe to be crying, that's all."
That's pretty much how it all started.
After the girls squealed and giggled, much to Naruto's embarrassment she asked grumpily "When's practice over?"
Ino snorted before supplying "About now, but looks like there being lectured by Gai about something or other."
Naruto frowned, getting off the bench to look closer before falling onto her back as she exclaimed "Again?! Seriously?! That happened yesterday too!"
Sakura laughed supplying "You should hear Kurenai-sensei when she's on her period, she's worst then Gai!"
Ino yawned, adding "Even worse now that's she' preggers."
Naruto grinned telling them "Sucks to be you!"
She then explained "See, this is why I go solo in my area of sport, it's so much easier and you only have to rely on yourself."
"…so much easier, hm? Just what would that be, dobe? Not maths I hope."
"Well…it would be nice if my so called boyfriend did help me!" Naruto suggested.
Her 'so called boyfriend' rolled his eyes, not that she could see, as he replied "You're on your own dobe."
Naruto pouted, still looking up at the sky before turning her head to look at her boyfriend.
Sticking her tongue out cheekily which got a reply of an elegantly raised eye brow and a smirk, she told him "Don't you need to go shower? You stink, teme!"
Sasuke gave his stoic reply "Hn" before walking away from them.
Naruto claimed cheerfully "Ha! That's what I thought teme!"
"I heard that."
Standing up she waved her hands around wildly as she exclaimed "Oh whatever teme!" before turning towards the girls with wide eyes and stating "…and that's why Uzumaki Naruto goes solo!"
To prove her point she jabbed her thumb towards her chest.
The girls, not really sure how that all linked together just decided to laugh at Naruto's antics, she sure was blonde.
The blonde sat back down with the girls and whined "I'm tired now! Oh well, now that stupid football is over I'll just get teme to give me a piggy back home!"
Tenten gave her an incredulous look as she laughed, telling the blonde idiot "You two are like two peas in a pod…hang on! Where's Sasuke's car?"
Naruto sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, a tinge of red coming across her cheeks as she mumbled "Getting cleaned…Sasuke got a bit carried away…"
The girls laughed as Sakura shook her head, saying "Gosh, just don't get preggers jeez! Imagine tiny Sasuke and Naruto's running around!"
Ino stated as she thought "I'd think they'd look quite cute though, don't you think Tenten?"
Tenten and even Hinata agreed to that.
Naruto, no longer wanting to hear where this conversation was going stood up and went over to the changing rooms where her boyfriend was banging his football shoes out.
Grimacing at all the mud she called out "When's Kiba going to finish up?"
Sasuke shrugged, replying "He's still getting chewed out about something or other."
Naruto nodded, heading back over and noted that the girls had thankfully stopped talking about her future children.
She gave Hinata a sympathetic look as she told her "Sorry Hina, dog breath's going to be a while."
Hinata sighed as she mumbled "I wonder what Kiba-kun did now…"
Sakura sighed, turning her attention to the changing rooms as Kiba and Lee came out fighting about something or other.
She replied "Boys will be boys; they just love to make the girls wait…"
She continued staring and noticed Sasuke and Neji come out of the changing rooms talking and starting to make their way over.
"Although…not all guys are like that…"
Hinata sighed, looking at her lap as she thought to herself…why didn't she have a guy who cared for her?
Like Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru and hell even Lee cared for their girlfriends.
Naruto grabbed her hands as she told her "Now, don't you go worrying about that mutt! He's as good as sold for you Hina, don't worry he'll be here soon…"
'…because he has ME to deal with!"
Getting up she walked over to Sasuke and asked "What's dog breath doing, Sasuke?"
Sasuke frowned saying "He's panicking about his date."
His girlfriend sighed before slapping her forehead and stormed over to the changing room.
Neji, who watched this all in silence, asked "What's she…"
"I really don't know." Sasuke glanced behind him before continuing "But something tells me I don't want to find out…"
After arriving where the girls sat Sakura asked the two guys "Where'd Naruto go?"
"She sounded like she was going to talk to Kiba…" Neji answered.
Hinata was just about to speak when all their attention was drawn to the changing rooms.
"O.M.G!"
"Hey beautiful, what're you doin' here!"
"Here's my number!"
"Wanna have sex?"
Sasuke growled as he stormed over there after hearing the cat whistles and comments.
The girls looked at each other as Sasuke stormed off, she didn't really?
She couldn't have.
Would she?
Apparently so because the next thing they see is Sasuke dragging an angry Naruto out of the boys changing rooms with Kiba by the collar.
Naruto lashed around Sasuke's hold, trying to get free as she yelled "You BASTARD! Come here and talk like a MAN! Come on! I ain't scared of ya!"
The girl's eyes widened as Neji shook his head.
Only Naruto would go and do the impossible.
She'd walked into the boys changing rooms, in some shorts and a t-shirt…
Sasuke was pissed, Naruto was raging and Kiba?
Well he was frightened for his life, his balls and his future.
He could only hope that Uchiha didn't release the rampaging beast upon him.
Naruto, somewhere through this commotion, managed to grab a hair spray bottle and a towel.
She tugged at Sasuke's arms that were around her waist yelling "Let me go, Sasuke!"
Seeing that the Uchiha wouldn't budge she decided to threaten Kiba instead, much to his horror.
"Kiba if I get my hands on you! You'll be sorry! Stop panicking about this fucking date and just get on with it! Hinata's waiting for you!" she threatened, her vibrant blue eyes turning narrow and icy.
Kiba gulped at her angry face as she swatted the bottle and towel around.
Sighing Sasuke grumbled to Kiba "Can you just go to Hinata already? I can't hold her forever, mutt."
Kiba quickly nodded, looking at himself he quickly sprinted inside the changing rooms, putting on his jeans and shoes he ran out turning towards Sasuke as he told him "Thanks dude, good luck."
Sasuke nodded replying "You too…and that's captain to you, mutt!
Naruto, who had now calmed down frowned before looking up at Sasuke asking "Why did he wish you good luck, teme?"
Sasuke blinked, before saying "No reason, come on let's go join the others."
Naruto gave him a curious look but shook it off, heading over to the group.
Upon arrival Ino told the couple "You just missed Hinata and Kiba go!"
Naruto pouted, she still had to speak with Kiba about something but it looks like she'll have to ask later.
Neji stretched before telling the others "I think it's time we go home, it's getting late."
Everyone seemed to agree and headed off in different directions after saying their farewells.
Sasuke turned to Naruto and asked "Got everything?"
After checking that she had everything she nodded, asking "Do you?"
Nodding in answer the couple set off at a steady pace, chatting randomly and messing about.
"Hey teme, what did you mean by the whole 'good luck' thing?"
"To who?"
"Kiba! You said good luck and he told you the same! What did it mean?"
"Nothing for you to worry about, we don't want your brain to work too hard."
"That's mean teme, even for a guy like you."
She sent a glare towards him which he chuckled at before slipping his fingers into hers.
He squeezed her hand as they walked through the park, watching kids run round playing on the equipment, elderly couples sat on the benches talking about their past and enjoying their time together, parents playing, talking and enjoying a stroll out and about.
Smiling softly Naruto leaned her head against Sasuke's shoulder; he gave her a questioning look before directing his gaze ahead.
Looking at their joined hands she asked "We'll be together forever, right?"
"Forever and a day, dobe…"
"What does forever and a day mean? I mean it can't be possible…" Naruto asked.
The raven chuckled explaining "It's basically a play on words; forever will be as long as long can be there can't be an extra day to it."
"I don't get it…" came the confused reply.
"Okay, bad example, but you'll get it someday…"
Naruto rolled her eyes, releasing her hand from his and standing in front of him as she stated "You always say 'You'll get it someday' but when will that be?"
Sasuke stopped in his tracks, giving her a mischievous smile as he teased "Now, now, we don't want to confuse that brain anymore then we have to, now do we?"
Naruto giggled, stepping forwards and getting onto her tips toes so she could hug him.
Smiling softly he hugged her back, closing his eyes and hoping that this really would last forever and a day.
It just felt like time had frozen, the sun was setting, couples were walking around talking quietly and the night's breeze was fresh on their skin.
He truly did wish that this would last forever, but all good things come to an end sooner or later.
Naruto stared up into his eyes and for a moment, they got lost in each other's eyes, deep ocean blue meeting dark depths that you could both get lost in.
Softly smiling Naruto moved closer and closer, before her lips touched Sasuke's.
The kiss was returned, caring and lovingly, both of them closing their eyes just feeling the cool air, the warmth from each other and listening to the night choir.
Naruto could have sworn that Sasuke didn't want to let go but it eventually ended.
She once again gazed into his eyes as she gently whispered "I love you, Sasuke."
He smiled in return, one that only she had seen before and whispering the same words in content.
Smiling she grabbed hold of his hand again as he tugged her arm saying "Let's go, Naru."
Grinning like an idiot at the little secret nickname he only called her when they were alone, she happily walked beside him striking up a conversation that neither cared for.
Naruto could only hope that this truly would last forever.
That there would be mini Sasuke's and Naruto's running around, causing terror.
She also hoped that Kiba and Hinata have a wonderful night, full of romance and love.
However, little did Naruto know that her Saturday morning was not going to be a relaxing one at all…
