Author's Note: I do not own Naruto.
All of his friends were worried. Naruto had been gone for an entire week, with no sign of him anywhere. Kiba and Akamaru did all they could with their sniffing, but still no trace of Naruto. Godaime told the search team everyday of the week-long absence to just keep searching. Sakura was especially concerned, seeing as Naruto was on her team. She thought that Akatsuki might have kidnapped him. Her birthday was on Saturday, and it would be a bummer if not all her friends were there.
Saturday rolls around and Sakura had just finished getting ready for her party. Right when she leaves her room, the doorbell rings. Curious, she opens it to find a box on the placemat with a rose taped on top of it. She opened the box, which had nothing more but a piece of paper with writing on it. It was a poem with no author. She started reading it aloud…
The Worst Poem
Can't express verbally
So this poem is what I did
I had my heart cry out on this one
Couldn't continue to live
Sakura, you're so beautiful
Slender and genuine
What's it going to take
For you to be mine?
I loved you since the beginning
Since our academy days
No matter how you treated me
My love would never go away
I want you so bad
Writing this poem is the only thing I could think of
Forget that man Sakura
Why can't there be an "us?"
I know I'm not the brightest
I know I'm not the coolest
I know I'm not the maturest
But I know what I want
I'm absolutely sure of it
I know one thing though
I'm not going to waste anymore time…
She heard another ring. She opened it.
"Sakura, will you be mine?"
It was Naruto.
"Oh Naruto!"
Sakura flung herself at him, and they kissed. Tears started flowing from her eyes. Naruto wiped them off.
"Happy Birthday Sakura."
