So here I am again. I decided to make another fanfic and I hope that this one will be as good as my other one. Just wanna say thanks for reading my other fics and I totally appreciate it. So anyways, this story will probably be like my other story, but it's different also in a way. I've just had this idea dwelling and so I really wanted to type it up and see how it does. Also, I seemed to have lost my writing notebook, so I'll be making this story up as it goes on.

I also have a question to ask. I've seen in some author notes about talks about a "beta". What exactly is that? Is that like a person you send your story in to check it first before adding it as a chapter, like a proofreader? If that is what a beta is, would one of you like to be my "beta" and email me. Thanks to those who accepts this job.

Alright, on with the story of The Yellow Wind.

Cotton Candy Reminder

The Yellow Wind. His name spread far and wide over the 5 great countries striking fear in every man's hearts. Usually, it were men or women who've done horrendous crimes and also those people doing evil who were just unlucky to be within his range. However, to the victims of the crimes, that name spread joy throughout their hearts as they were soon to be saved from there nightmares. He moved from one town to the next, accompanied by his mentor, another man with a legendary title, or titles. Although the towns were always grateful for his heroism, they never were able to properly thank the mysterious hero face to face. He was usually gone from the scene, leaving the few witnesses to his acts baffled. Why had he left before being thanked? Why wouldn't he want to be acknowledged by the people he just saved?

Entering a fair in another town, the blonde legend walked up towards a cotton candy maker.

"One cotton candy please."

"Which flavor?"

"Any."

The cotton candy maker finished up his batch, and gave the pink fluff to the blonde legend. He stared at it, and sighed, as it reminded him of someone he knew from a village, someone special.

January 12 – 2 Years Into the Past

An 18 year old, blonde haired Jonin, walked side-by-side by his long time crush, Sakura. Naruto Uzumaki, clad in an orange jacket, ninja pants, and ninja boots, hung his arms over his head whistling an unknown tune as he looked towards the distance. His partner, about as high as his chin, walked with her head in a confused expression. Earlier today, she finally agreed to having Naruto take her out to dinner, which was the first thing to confuse her. Why had she agreed? She reasoned that after 5 years of his constant pestering, she decided that one little outing together would finally make him stop asking her. That was it, right? A little voice in her head seemed to doubt it, but she accepted her reason.

After that, Naruto asked her for a walk and before she realized it, she had accepted. This was the second thing to confuse her. So they walked, talking to each other about little things like weather, training, missions, and you know, the usual. So here she was, in the snowy coldness of winter, walking with Naruto on what seemed like an endless path. She was still trying to figure out why she had agreed to what she had agreed to. Her thoughts came to a stop as she noticed Naruto stopped walking. Sakura, more confused now, turned to her teammate.

"Shhh." His head stood still, but his eyes were darting around, surveying he surroundings. Sakura noticing this too, stood still, trying to find their stalker. After finding no signs of anyone, she started to speak again, but Naruto put a finger on her mouth. As soon as he placed his finger on her lips, she felt a nice tingly feeling run throughout her body. Why was her body acting this way to his touch? What was this feeling on her face, this hot sensation coming from his touch? Her thoughts, as fast as they came, disappeared as she quickly reasoned it was cause of the cold temperature and the fact of them being potentially stalked.

"Sakura," he began in a slight whisper, breaking the long silence between them, "Do you sense anyone?"

Finally lifting his finger off of her lips, she took a deep breath before beginning to speak.

"I felt someone earlier up in the trees of this path, but when we stopped I lost his trail."

"Okay," Naruto now in his joyous voice, signaled for them to continue.

"Where are we going exactly? And why are you taking me?"

"Well, its a place very important to me," he took a deep breath before continuing, "and I'm taking you because I need to, um, talk to you about something."

Sakura now put on her confused expression again. "What does he want to tell me? And just where is this place he's taking me that is so important to him? Just what is he planning?" Naruto, now noticing her perplexed face, ushered for them to keep walking. Sakura, started walking, suddenly a little too close to Naruto. She would practically start feeling his muscled arms if she went a little closer. Naruto, noticing this, blushed slightly at the distance between himself and his life long love. So being Naruto, he started to begin a conversation so that maybe she would distance away a little so he wouldn't have a breakdown right there. With a slight cough he began to speak.

"So, Sakura-chan," she looked at him as if she would be answered her questions, still very close to his body. Her emerald eyes, although the shade of the night sky made everything dark, shined brightly into Naruto's ocean blue eyes, waiting for an answer. Naruto, lost in her shining eyes, forgot all thoughts of conversation. He was always mesmerized by her eyes, and with staring at him this close, he seemed even more hypnotized by her stare. The kunoichi, also stared into his eyes, diving deep into the blue abyss that he called eyes. Snapping back to reality, the medic-nin grew slightly irritated that he hadn't spoken at all.

"Naruto!"

He fazed back into the real world upon hearing his name being called by none other than Sakura.

"Yeah Sakura-chan?"

"You were about to say something..."

"Oh..uh...um...," he looked towards the sky, "The stars are really pretty tonight, right Sakura-chan?"

Following suit, she looked up towards the sky, and marveled at all he stars out in the sky, twinkling every second. He was right, they were very beautiful tonight.

"Yeah, they are Naruto."

"I love watching the stars at night."

"Huh, Naruto watches the stars at night. Who knew a guy like him comes out at night to stare at the stars." Sakura spoke still not realizing how close their bodies were.

"So you come out at night to watch the stars?"

"Yeah. See, I would go to the place I'm taking you, and just lie down on the grass just staring up into the stars. They make me relaxed and at peace. Even the the Kyuubi," he pointed towards the seal, "seems to relax."

"What the hell Kit! That's supposed to be a secret!"

"So! It's not like she could see you or make fun of you or anything."

Sakura's voice interrupted his discussion with the demon.

"Is that all you do?"

"Well sometimes I think about Sasuke and-" he stopped when Sakura tilted her head downward at the sound of his name. Why was she so depressed when she heard his name? She thought that she was over him and that he was just a fallen comrade. So why had she felt a jolt of pain strike through her heart the moment she heard his name? Finally taking this silence too awkward, Naruto spoke up.

"I know you still love him Sakura-chan. That's why I haven't stopped thinking about him. I always wonder if he would ever come back or if he finally finished his goal. Maybe he will return after that, but rest assured Sakura-chan, I will make him come back to Konoha, just like I promised you all those years ago."

Hearing this, Sakura tilted her head upwards, her eyes boring deep into his eyes, through the open windows, and into his soul. Was he just saying that, or did he actually mean it? She got her answer when she found no signs of lying, trickery, or anything of that sort. A stray tear slid down her face as she drew her hand to wipe it off.

"Naruto, you don't have to do that anymore. I've realized he's just a silly crush and the Sasuke I knew, wasn't really there at all. He's just-"

"But Sakura-chan, why did you turn sad when I said his name then? You still love him, and someone as beautiful as you should get happiness and if being with Sasuke makes you happy, then with all the power I have, I will bring him back."

Sakura looked at him with a mixed amount of emotions. Would he really do all of that just for her happiness? She knew that he liked her the way she liked Sasuke, but she''s been so busy lately, that she'd hardly noticed anything around the village at all. Now that she thought about all their past adventures, he was always there to save her. Not Sasuke, but Naruto. Her vision of Naruto had just made a 180 degree turn. The blonde ninja she'd known as an annoying, loud-mouthed, unpredictable, non-thinking, and stubborn was gone. Here was a more matured, stronger, smarter, and she had to admit, pretty hot Naruto.

Realizing just how close she had been to Naruto, she graciously took a step back, with a more than noticeable blush adorning her face. Naruto, in turn, became confused to the max. Why was she blushing? It couldn't have been him, could it? I mean, he knew he got a little more better looking from the little fan club of girls he has in Konoha that had formed around when he was about 16. Still, he pondered on why she had been blushing? Then, a rushing thought came to his mind, did she have feelings for me?

"Do I have feelings for him?" That thought ran throughout her mind as she tried to figure out whether or not it was true. Were these feelings for him just started today, or has she had these feelings in the past. She remembered a moment where one Naruto fan girl was holding onto his arm and for a split moment she had felt...jealously? Yes, for that one moment, she admitted she had felt jealous. Of course, at that time, she wouldn't admit that, and so the jealously had turned into anger and before the girl knew it, she was in the hospital with the very person who injured her, healing her.

For like the billionth time tonight, she looked into his eyes, Naruto doing the same. They were stuck in a trance, desperately searching for each others feelings. Her shining emerald eyes, stared deeply into crystal blue eyes, and vise-versa. Unconsciously the two seemed to get closer towards each other, until their bodies stood merely an inch apart. Their faces stood close, eyes still lost in each other. The gap between them grew closer to a close, their lips merely millimeters apart. Closer, and closer, their feelings finally coming to one conclusion. They closed their eyes, their faces leaning in until...

Their lips met. The gap was no longer their, and for a moment, both were lost in eternal bliss. Sakura's dormant feelings for Naruto, and Naruto's love for Sakura, erupted from that kiss. A gust of wind blew, and they broke apart, opening their eyes and looking into each other. They stood still in silence, the event that happened playing throughout each other's mind.

Sakura, who had no doubt of her love for Naruto, smiled one of her true smiles. This was, since Sasuke's betrayal, one of her true smiles. The pleasure, the emotion she felt throughout her body was better than anything she could imagine and this made her happy. Truly happy. Seeing this Naruto smiled as well, one out two of his biggest dreams finally accomplished. He was very happy. Probably the most happiest he's been in a while. Although it was one short, sweet kiss, it told him everything. Sakura really liked him, and possibly loved him the way he loved her, and that was enough. Breaking the silence, Sakura, her lips still tingling from their rather dramatic event, spoke in a quiet, yet cheerful voice.

"So, you still taking me to your very important place?"

"Of course, Sakura-chan!"

Holding out his arm, the pink haired medic-nin gladly took the gesture, as she grabbed his arm, and laid her head on it. This was perfect.

Taking a bite out of the cotton candy, a slight tear graced his cheek as he whispered to himself so that nobody else but himself could here him.

"Why, Sakura?"

Alright, finished with this chapter. Can't believe how much fluff I could put into a story. As I was typing this, I thought of turning this into a one-shot and just removing the beginning and the ending, but I like multi-chaptered stories more, so it shall be an adventure.

So just a note from above, if my definition of "beta" is correct, can someone please send me their e-mail address. Thanks again.

I will try to update all of my stories, however with classes and studying and work, I don't know if I would be able to keep with constant updating, so don't expect fast updates.

As I like to stress, please, if you read this story, REVIEW! REVIEW!! REVIEW!!!
