Chapter one

I still see that little girl with the big forehead in the mirror no matter how many times I look at it. I get compliments

from naruto saying that i have gotten stronger and that i look fearless but i still feel weak...*knock, knock* This is the first time i have visitors at my new home! But right now only lady tsunade and my parents know where i live.*opens door slowly and sees blonde spiky hair*

"hey naruto I didn't know you knew where i lived." Naruto smiles widely while closing his eyes. i don't know why but

narutos smile really makes him seem like the happiest person on earth.

"i didn't. i asked granny where you lived." "that's kind of creepy naruto." "What? i cant find out where my teammate

lives?"

Teammate...? Since when was I ever just considered that to him. Didnt he have a crush on me?

" i suppose that's right. so what brings you here?" Naruto opens his eyes but his smile doesn't go away.

" could i come in first? its kind of long and i don't want to stand here that long hehe."

"no problem." What could he possibly want to say? he usually doesnt talk all at once but when he does its mostly complaining.

Naruto comes in and sits on the couch. i sit down too on the other side of the arm rest. its not that im uncomfortable with him we do sleep in the same tents but him being here in my home acting all ordinary is kind of strange.

" three years ago from today was when we became team 7 even though one member is missing i came here to

celebrate with you sakura-chan thats why i couldnt stay standing outside." narutos voice still sounded happy but i

could still catch the sadness in it. i forgot it was the anniversary of team 7 today. im not heartless i guess i just had too many things to think about other than this. To me its actually good i forgot it that means sasuke isnt on my mind even though i still wonder if i love him.

"how are we going to celebrate it naruto? have you invited sensei also?" he turned his body toward me.

"kakashi sensei is on a mission right now so i decided we could eat ramen at ichiraku and eat cake without him. does that sound good?"

" yes it sounds more than good it sounds great!" naruto hopped off the couch and started heading for the door.

"naruto you dont mean right now rigth? i need to freshen up first and-" he grabs my hand and starts running taking me along with him.

" wait! naruto my door!" still holding my hand he runs back and closes it then he continues running.

"wait i didnt lock my door" he laughs and slows down a little in to a jog. he looked at me with his wide smile.

" There are no thieves in konoha sakura-chan plus why would they go to your place of all places?" he had a point i just hope hes right.

Then we continued running hand in hand to ichiraku.
