Summary: [ Longer Version ]
Sakura Haruno thinks she's finally found 'the one'. The only problem is, she's never even met him yet. This is a tale of a Girl just trying to fall in love, but it happens to be with Naruto Uzumaki, a player. It's amazing how such a story can bloom from one little note. Dear Stranger,
A/N - I have a good feeling about this story. It's going to be a lot different than my others, more mature and less childish. I will also try to work on my grammar, since that was a huge issue on my other stories. Now that I look back, they were terribly written and quite embarrassing!
I don't have spell check on my computer, so please bare with me. I'll try my best though!
Enjoy this story, and all reviews are greatly appreciated and taken accounted too :)
The leaves flurry through the cool, crisp October night as a small 2-story house is sitting silently on a corner. If you stood outside the house, you'd be able to see only one light on, in the living room. If you decided to be a bit creepy , and peer through the semi-open curtain of the home, you'd see a pretty woman just finishing up a good book.
She would soon get up from her comfortable rocking chair and place the now-finished library book in her purse,to return it tomorrow. Then, she'd slowly make her way to the bathroom for a quick shower, and to brush her teeth. After, she'd slip her modelesque body into a green nightdress, before drifting off into a deep sleep.
Sakura was woken up by the sunlight peering through her window as the birds quietly chirped around.
"Ahhh! How I love my days off... " she yawned.
At only the age of 24, she graduated from University and scored a job as a Docter in the city of Konoha. For the last few days, there was a big outbreak of a new type of Flu Virus, and she'd been working like a hog. As a reward for never giving up on the patients and coming to work with a smile on her face, her boss gave her a couple additional days off to rest up before returning after the weekend.
Sakura was a very friendly person. She made friends easily, and could get a boyfriend even easier. Sakura Haruno was a babe. She had long pink hair, which attracted a lot of men [since she stood out], a killer body [ Though she wouldn't mind being bumped up a couple bra sizes] , was great in bed [ Even Tiger Woods would have trouble keeping up] and knew EVERYTHING on guys. During her University years, she only had a couple of boyfriends which didn't last too long, but mostly slept around. She didn't care about relationships or love, she only knew lust.
One day, she decided to look for an intellectual guy to fuck in the library, but surprisingly ended up getting caught in a book. This book wasn't like any other though, it was a romance novel. To be exact, it was called ' The Time Travellers Wife' . Ever since this day, she became Obsessed with books. Especially love stories, where there's always happy ending. All these books caused her to think. She thought about how different her life was than in the books, and didn't like it. She wanted her OWN love story, which would never happen if all she did was sleep around. She realized that what she really wanted was someone faithful, not another ' One Night Stand' . So, ever since she graduated, she became a changed woman. She was out to find her one true love.
Once Sakura was all dressed and ready for the day, she walked over to the local library. This was also known as her second home. She came today to return her book. Now, Sakura had a funny habit. If she read a really good book, she would grab a little piece of paper, and write a little note to the next reader who borrows that book. So, she ripped out a page from her notepad, and took out a pen. She walked over to the nearest table and wrote-
' Dear Stranger,
I see you have chosen the book ' The Time Travellers Wife'. This is probably my 6th or 7th time borrowing this particular book, and no matter what, it gets to me .Every. Time. It's such an amazing book, and has literally changed my life. It made me realize who I really am, and what I really wanted in life. So please ,stranger, I hope you rent out this book and it helps your life change for the better, as it did to mine. '
Smiling at her note, she placed it in the front cover of the book, and gave it to the Librarian.
' Good morning , Sakura. I see you've checked out ' The Time Travellers Wife' again? ' asked Shizune, the Librarian. Shizune was a very quiet and polite girl. She was one of those girls who never really liked going to clubs or crazy parties. She was perfectly happy behind a good book, and that's where she belonged.
Sakura was a regular visitor at the Leaf Library, and Shizune worked there pretty much every day. They were now good friends, despite their differences.
' Hah, yep ! You know how much I love that book! ' she laughed ' Oh- and I left a little message again, so make sure it doesn't fall out ?'
' Sure thing' Shizune smiled. She knew all about Sakura little notes. Often, she would be asked who wrote them by people who checked out books, but she would never tell. She thought it was a great idea to leave a little inspirational message to the readers!
Shizune put the book back on the shelf and continued her work , as was around the Library, picking out more books to venture into.
Little did she realize, writing that note would be the start of something new...
" uuuuh ! ahhh! n-NARUTO!" she moaned, throwing her head back in delight.
" Yeaaah baby! Scream my name!" he shouted as he thumped in and out of her.
" Ohhh!"
" YES"
" Yes! Yes ! I-I'm gonna... AHH!"
" Oooh! Ashley!" Naruto yelled
" Ashley?" she said, getting off of him. " Who the fuck is Ashley!"
" Uhhh.. Isn't that your name? "
" NO ! It's Maddie, you jerk!"
" Oh shit- My bad! "
" Fuck you Naruto! I though you were different! Was I just another One-Time thing for you? GOD! You're such an asshole! " Maddie yelled as she threw on her clothes and stormed out of the room.
This wasn't something new to Naruto. Actually , it happened quite often. I mean, how was he supposed to remember the names of EVERY girl he fucked? That would be impossible!
" Ash- I mean... Maddie ! Wait up ! " He yelled, throwing on his boxers. " Look, I'm sorry! I really like you, and it was an honest mistake ! I love you! "
" Oh really ? How many other girls have you said that to ? "
" That's irrelevant."
" No, It's not ! Naruto Uzumaki, You're a man-whore. No girl is ever going to want to be with you, and your gong to end up alone because you can't hold on to a girl for your life ! Your an insensitive jerk, who just happens to be extremely good-looking. Too bad that's all you got. " Maddie spat, and she called a taxi.
Naruto watched as it drove off .
" Fuck her. My looks aren't ALL I have! I'm more than just my gorgeous face, flawless body, abs, and huge dick! I can be sensitive ! I am capable of loving! ... Aren't I ?" he thought out loud.
" Whatever. Hmmm... I'll go to the Library right now, and read a romance novel! Yeah! Then, I'll recite some lines to her, get some flower and chocolate, yadda yadda yadda, and SCORE! I'll be back in her pants in no time! ' he grinned as he got in his car and drove off.

" CAN I HELP YOU SIR !" Shizune said loudly over the ringing bell.
" Oh yeah... Sorry... I didn't see anyone, and it said to ring the bell.. and well.. uhm. Anyway... This is my first time here, and I'd like to rent a book please!' Naruto flashed his all-famous smile.
" Well, it seems like you've come to the right place! Ha-ha." Shizune laughed.
" So like.. What do I do ? "
" Umm.. Well, first you need a Library Card. I'm guessing you don't have one, Correct? "
" Right."
" Okay, Would you like me to sign you up for one right now? "
" Uhh, Why not ! "
" Alight, One moment please!" Shizune said , as she opened a program on the computer to help file members. She printed out a form , stapled it, and handed it to Naruto. " Please fill out the form, sign it, than hand it back to me"
"Sure" he said as he grabbed a pen and filled it out.

Once finished, he signed it, and gave it to Shizune. She filed it, and soon enough, Naruto had his very own Library Card.
" Sweet! So , what can I do with this thing? " He asked
" A lot! You can now pick any book here, and check it out for a week, or renew overdue books. You can use it to join in our groups/ facilities, and use the computers. You are now a member of the Konoha Leaf Library! Congratulations!"
" Well thanks for your help! You're a real nice lady, Shizune."
" And you're a real interesting guy, Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto smiled and walked off into a rows of shelves to try to find a romance novel.
' Romance..Romance... Shouldn't they have a section for this or something? I mean, how hard is it to find a good romance book? I bet they're plenty popular too...' he thought to himself.
Finally, after 25 long,hard minutes of searching, he gave up and retreated back to the front desk.

"YES NARUTO?" Shizune hollered
" Yeah, so uhh, where can I find a romance novel? '
" Romance novel? Oh, at first glance, I didn't think you were the type of guy to read those."
" Yeah, I'm not the reading type at all. To be honest, I'm just trying this out to be more ' sensitive' cause' you know, chicks dig that kinda stuff. "
" Oh.." Shizune said , slightly disappointed " Well, you can find romance novels all around the Library. It all depends on what type your looking for, mystery, classics, wartime, th-"
"That all sounds cool but, do you mind just giving me any romance novel that you think a girl would find really sweet and romantic?"
Shizune thought for a minute. ' There's so many choices!'Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted ' The Time Travellers Wife' . The copy that Sakura had just returned. ' Perfect!'
She picked it up. " Here Naruto. I think this best fits the description of what your looking for. It's a tragic love story of a man who gets placed in different parts of the past and future, while his wife has to stay home and wait for him, and wonder when and if he'll ever return"
" Sounds... cheesy. But that's good right? Anyways, thanks a lot for your help again, Shizune! Catch ya later ! " He grinned as he left the Library with the book in his hands.
Little did he realize, that picking up that book would be the start of something new...
