HARUNO RESIDENCE:

Haruno Sakura grunted in annoyance as she rummaged through her pouch, desperately in search of her house keys. "Geez.." She began, now lifting up a spare kunai hoping that the object of her desire would be found under them, "I really need to find a better place to put my keys..." She growled. Finally, after about another five minutes of searching, Sakura had given up, and decided to open the door by force instead, a more easier task, well, for her, atleast.

As the door flew into kitchen, a good fourteen feet away, Sakura shruged and mearly walked passed the beaten door, and slowly climbed her way up the stairs. Her parents weren't home, and wouldn't be home for another week, so she had time to repair it. It also didn't help that she was extremly tired, and dirty, after training for hours with Naruto. In other words, repair for the door anytime soon looked extremly grim. She grunted once again as she peeled her moist top, infused with her sweat, off her body, and carelessly tossed it on one of the steps.

Next were her skirt, and shorts she wore underneath. Her eyes and face seemed a bit more relaxed as her body was releaved of the sweaty clothes, now tossed across her steps. While removing her bra, Sakura glanced at a mirror in the hallway, eyeing herself. 'Have they gotten... bigger..?' She thought, eyeing her breasts through the reflection.. 'Hn, maybe... who cares..' and with that thought, threw her bra to the side, then bended down to remove her panties. She swiftly grabbed her towels and wrapped them around her, heading for the bathroom, desperately wanting nothing more than a nice hot shower.

TRAINING GROUND:

Naruto gasped, heaving for air as he received a kick in the chest by his bunshin, sending him about five feet back. 'Damn, I'm getting good...' He thought as he slid across the grassy field. The bunshin smirked and leaped into the air, forming a Rasengan in his right palm. Naruto quickly regained his composure and jumped out of the way, just as a heap of smoke engulfed the ground where he once lay.

"Holy hell, that... was close.." He said as he watched the cloud of debris in front of him. With a battle cry, Naruto dashed forward, ready to end this when..

"Hey!! Stop!!"

Naruto skidded to a hault just as he reached the edge of the newly formed crater in the ground, eyeing his clone suspicously. "What's the big deal? Why'd you tell me to stop?" the real Naruto asked. The bunshin simply lifed its arm. Naruto tilted his head. "What, keys? Keys, what does that have to do with-OHH, wait, wait, those are Sakura-chan's keys!!" He exclaimed, noticing the pink key ring they were attached to. "Right.." smirked the bunshin, as he tossed the keys upward before dispersing away. Naruto caught the keys with a goofy smile. 'Heh heh, Sakura-chan's gonna be happy I found her keys... maybe, she'll 'reward' me, heh heh heh.. OH!! Wait a minute, I'm not a pervert!! Damn you Ero-senin, making me like this...' With a shake of his head, Naruto resolved his internal crisis and lunged himself into the air, making his way to Sakura's house...

I know it's short, but that's why it's called a short story!! I plan to make this story no longer than three-to-five chapters. If no one reviews, I might not update, so please review if you want me to continue this!! Thanks in advance...
