Naruto sighed as he walked into the ramen stand after today's team practice. It has been a few weeks now since the failed Uchiha retrieval mission. As he sat down Ayame asked "So what will it be today Naruto?"

Just then the flap to the stand opened up and Sakura walked in and said, "There you are Naruto. I was looking for you."

Naruto ignored Sakura and said, "1 miso please."

Ayame nods and Sakura said "Hey baka! Don't ignore me."

Naruto blinked and said, "Oh Sakura, sorry I was spacing out a moment, what's wrong?"

Sakura eyes darkened and she said, "I came to tell you Kakashi said not to meet him tomorrow because he just got an A-rank mission out of the village. He said to practice on our own."

Ayame set his bowl of Ramen on the counter and sat a paper napkin down beside it on the opposite side of Sakura.

Naruto took the bowl and said, "So...do you want to practice together?" as he started to eat at fast speed.

Sakura who was getting disgusted by the way Naruto ate said "As if." as she turned and stormed out of the stand.

Naruto smiled a small smile and took the napkin and wiped his mouth with it before he pocketed the napkin and said "Thanks Ayame. It was great."

Ayame said "Of course. Anything for our best customer."

Naruto paid for his meal then turned and left.

Naruto headed for the training ground but pulled the napkin back out of his pocket and glanced at it for a moment and channeled chakra into the napkin causing it to catch on fire.

He then turned and started going into the woods away from where he was heading before.

Around 10 minutes later Naruto came across a clearing with a waterfall and a stream which was surrounded by trees and was at least 3 miles away from the Konoha property.

Naruto smiled and said, "I got your message."

A voice said "Good." and Naruto turned and saw a figure step out of the woods.

Naruto smiled a true smile and said, "You look good, and I see you let yourself relax today."

The person said "Yeah, I had an easy day and so decided I wanted to spend it with you."

Naruto walked over and put his arms around the person and pulled her closer to him allowing him to feel all the curves of her body agianst his and he asked "And why is that?"

The girl he was holding said "Because I love you."

Naruto said "And I love you too. You're my dirty little secret." as he leaned forward and put his lips to hers.

The girl wrapped her arms around him and moved her hands along his back in the passionate kiss they shared.

After they broke the kiss the girl looked at him and said, "Why is that my love?"

Naruto said, "You know why. You were the only person to show me love and affection all these years. You taught me how to survive, to fight, to live, and to love. You're the only reason I am who I am. I would die for you."

The girl put her head on his shoulder and asked "Its just not fair, why do we have to hide our love?"

Naruto sighed and said, "I know. I hate it but I don't want to see you get hurt. Just give me some more time. I started changing people's views of me against Neji, Gaara, and Sasuke a little. Maybe another year or 2 when we finally get old enough to marry each other we can show everyone our love. Until then I have to act as an idiot."

The girl said, "Until then, I have to act like I care for someone else and don't really know you."

They both said, "Until we can get married, you are my dirty little secret."

The girl pulled him into another passionate kiss and hug and the girl said after breaking it "I love you Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto smiled and said "And I love you Tenten Uzumaki."

Tenten smiled and said, "I like the sound of that."

Naruto smiled and said, "You want to know what I like the sound of better then that?"

Tenten asked "What?"

Naruto said "This." as he kissed her again.
