Blood was the first thing I saw. It wasn't a little bit, but a lot. I try to lift my head but fail. I look around and see nothing but a blur running. Was it running toward me? Yes. It was running full speed. What is it? Who is it? I see a flash of blonde hair. My eyes are starting to get fuzzy. I'm blanking out. Before I do, I see the blonde hair boys orange shirt and know who he is. He's crying. I see darkness. That's all I see. When I open my eyes I see him holding me in his arms. He was holding me so close it was hard to breathe. Tears fell from his face down to mine. "N-Naruto. I can't breathe." I choke out. He opens his eyes to look at me, and loosens his grip.
"Sakura! I thought you were dead!" He starts crying even more now. Not sad tears, but tears of joy. He gives me a hug. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you." He whispers. "I'm so sorry." He starts crying hard now. "I should have been there for you. But I wasn't. And because of that I almost lost you." He's still hugging me, trying to comfort me. "Naruto, it's not your fault. It was me."
I remember what happened. Naruto was fight Sasuke, and Karin through a kunei at Naruto. He was so deep in the battle, he didn't notice. I was the one who ran at Naruto and blocked it from hitting him. Naruto looked back for just a second, and Sasuke hit him hard in the gut and Naruto went flying into a wall. Then Sasuke and Karin ran away before Naruto could stop them. Even if he did he wouldn't have tried to stop them. He would have come running to my side, like he just did.
"Why did you stop it?" He asked. I looked into his blue eyes. "Why didn't you let it hit me?" I looked at him for a long time, think of the answer. Why did I? Why did I stop it from hitting him?
"I guess I did it because… I love you." His eyes were filled with shock. "You… you love me?"He said. "I guess I do." He looks at me, his eyes filled with joy. I never knew how beautiful his eyes were. I bring him really close to my face, and I kiss him. Fire started rising up inside of me, one I've never felt before. It was one that made you want more. When we broke apart, I felt a tingling feeling on my lips. "Sakura. When we get back to the leaf village, would you like to go on a date with me?" he asked.
"I would like that." I said, and kissed him again.
