Things Happen,

Things Change.

Hey everyone, god I am SO pissed. I just got in a fight with my best friend, cause she is Fucking laughing at me every time I do something wrong. Now this is a thing that happens normaly to best friends, but there's one problem: I kind of think…. I'm …. Uh…. In love with her. Heehaw I feel like a jackass. But I am just clarifying that so if this chapter seems a bit, dark and evil, that's probably why. Any way, this is my first fic, so flames are welcome, though not total like ' your story sucks, you are a failure at every thing you do. I hate you' type of flamers. Friendly criticism is ok. Also if anybody could give me a list of all the sub titles ( Kun, Chan .ect) and what they mean, it would really help, and a website of the place were it list's all the jutsu's. thanx , on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto but when I finish my evil plan to domanate the world using Cookie dough men and ketchup I will.

Key: 'thoughts' "Kyuubi", "inner Sakura" flashback. letter writing,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a peaceful morning, the sun was out, no cloud's, it was just beautiful. Under a large tree, in a forested area next to a river, a young pink haired girl sat, looking into the air with a vacant look on her face. One look into her deep emerald green eyes, and you could see what was wrong. She was sad. And the boy in the tree, the short blonde haired blue eye's boy did not like it when she was sad. Muttering a few words under his breath, he preformed a hand seal, then Poof, next to him was another him. The shadow clone did a few , hand signs, then Poof, turned into a tall, silver haired, masked man. Kakashi, there sensei. Looking at each other they nodded, then Kakashi jumped out of the tree. Jumping in front of her he pulled down the mask, reviling very buck teeth, and big fat lips. His plan to cheer her up didn't work though, as it hardly ever did.

"Naruto! Cut it out! Your being an idiot!" Sakura yelled at him. He stopped, and the clone of Kakashi-sensai making a funny face, realizing that it wasn't working. Walking over to her, he looked at the girl of his dreams.

"Sorry, Sakura-chan, I was just…" but naruto never got to finish. Sakura cut him off. Turning around she looked at him in the face, anger shown clearly. It hurt, it always did, when she screamed at him, but he was used to it. Used to being hated, feared, abused. But he never crumbled under the intense hate around him, not once sense he was born. But it still hurt, even if he never yielded to the pain. And so, he got ready for that pain again.

" NARUTO, DON'T YOU GET IT! I don't like you, you're an annoying, selfish little brat, get that through your thick head!" sakura yelled at him. Naruto stood there. Now usually he would just stop there, knowing that continuing would not make her any happier. But he had something to say this time.

" sakura-chan I'm sorry, I was just…" but once again, he never got to finish. Sakura turned around and slapped him really hard on the face. Naruto stood there, as the pain went through him. Yes the slap hurt, but what was worse, was the pain of being unloved your entire life.

"…… WHAT? JUST BEING A JACKASS? NARUTO GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD….I….FUCKING….HATE…YOU! NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE, NOBODY WANTS YOU, NOBODY WOULD CARE IF YOU LEFT AND NEVER COME BACK. UNDERSTAND?" Sakura yelled at him. Naruto stood there. The girl that he loved, that he dedicated all his time to, just to make her smile, make her happy, had just hit him and told him that she hated him. That hurt a lot.

" FINE, IF IM NOT WANTED THEN I'LL LEAVE!" He yelled at hurt. Sakura looked up, shocked. She didn't mean that, she didn't hate him. Naruto jumped up onto the branch of a nereby tree. Looking back at her, sakura looked into his eyes. Expecting to see defince, what she saw instead shocked her. She saw something she had never seen in him.

Sadness.

A horrable pain, that made it apper that he had just had his soul riped out. It showed a pain so deep, so unreal, that words could hardly discribe it. Seeing that she had caused that pain, Sakura fell to the ground, and cried. Cried for his pain. Cried for what she said. Cried for Naruto. Cried, just cried. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she saw Tsunada, the fith hokaga.

" lets take a walk, Sakura." she said. Sakura nooded, and got to her feet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto laid there on the rock, with his hand in the water.

'Why? All I ever do is try to make her happy, make her smile, but…' his thought. After thinking about it a bit more, he got up, took off his orange jacket and his black undershirt, and went for a swim.

After about an hour, he got up, got dressed, and left. He thought about what had happened that morning. About the pain, the sadness.

' I have to tell her, one way or another, she has to know.' Naruto thought, he jumped of to his place, packed a few things, and left, in the direction of Sakura's house.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura Haruno lay there on her bed, fast asleep. Her eyes were puffy, and red, indicating that she had been crying. The eyes distorted her normal beautiful figure. Her short pink hair thrown over her face. She didn't notice when the window opend and a figure silently came in. Naruto looked at the sleeping girl, and smiled. She looked buetiful even in her sleep. Takeing out a few item's from his pockit, a piece of paper, and the something unidentifiable in the dark. Placeing the pice of paper on the bed stand next to her, he put the other item on to of it. Takeing a last look at his sleeping figure of his undying love, Naruto smiled, then took out the window, closeing it behind him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura woke with a start, she had heard her window close, and feard the worse. Looking around, she saw nothing out of the ordinary. Then her eyes settled onto the items her night stand.

Sakura reached over and turned on the light. Looking at the items, she saw goggles that looked oddly familiar, and an upside down piece of paper. She gasped when she remembered were the goggles were from. 'Naruto…'

Sakura reached over and picked up the pair of goggles, and, looking at them, noticed they were indeed naruto's. then her eyes looked at the letter.

Picking it up, she looked at it and started to read.

Sakura-Chan,

By the time you read this I will probably be out of konoha, I'm leaving for a 1 ½ year training mission with ero-sinnin I would have told you erlier, I tried to this morning, but you know what happened. Sorry Sakura Chan, about that…. no I'm the one that should be saying sorry Naruto.' Sakura thought. She could feel tears forming.

Sorry about coming in through the window, but it was the only way. I will see you in about 1 ½ years

Love,

Naruto

P.S: Make Sure to buy some Raman at my favorite stall, don't want them going out of business.

Sakura finished reading the letter, now crying her heart out. Then she felt a cool breeze hit her. Her eyes shot wide open.

' NARUTO! He must of just been here, if I hurry I might catch them.' She thought. Jumping out of bed, still holding the note and goggles, she ran out the door. She had fallen asleep with her cloths on, so there was no problem with that. As she ran down the streets, she could smell the cold calming feeling of rain coming. She ran even faster, desperate to catch them before they departed. reaching the gates however, she found no one. A few rain drops started to fall hitting her face. Sakura stood there, looking at the ground, tears threaten to fall, and then, the heavens opened up and let out there sorrow for her, rain pored down, but sakura didn't notice. She was crying now, her hurt greater than before. If anyone had been close enough to hear her, they would have heard her say one thing.

" na..ru..to." was all Sakura managed. She cried for about two hours before heading

back and getting some sleep. It was going to be a long wait.

Time Skip: 1 ½ years later.

Sakura put all her concentration into healing the fish. Even though it was just a fish, it didn't mean it would be easy. Though, about half way through the processes, there was a knock on the Hokage's door. Tsunada looked up from her paper work to look at the figure. Sakura had no time to look up, at least till she heard Tsunade gasped a single name.

" Ji…Jiraiya?" The Hokage whispered. Sakura head jerked up. If he's her then….Naruto! Joy filled her entire body.

" Naruto? Were is he?" she asked, eagerly. That all died though, when she saw the look in the Sanins eye. He was sad.

" I don't know. About six months ago, I woke up, to find now naruto, just a note saying 'Sorry Jiraiya, I have to do the rest on my own.'. I spent months looking for him, before coming back here. I… am so very sorry." Jiraiya said. Sakura looked at the floor and started to cry. 'Naruto… are you EVER coming back…?'

Time skip: 2 ½ years later

Sakura was getting frustrated. She had found no info on the new healing jutsu found as a bloodline limit for her family. But what was more frustrating, was the fact that her sensei wanted her to do more research on FINGERNAIL GROWTH? why would she need to know about that. Sighing she got up with the little info she had collected, and walked to the Hokage's Office. She was so preoccupied that she didn't hear the voices inside.

" Hokage-sensei, I fou…" But she was stoped abruptly when a Throwing star (A/N: any body know the name for it, I have horrible spelling) landed a cm above her head. Jumping back she pulled out a kunai and held it ready. There was three people in front of her. But one caught her eye.

He had on a long White trench coat. on the back was a small version of the Kyuubi, slightly hard to see because of the two katana sheaths covering it, sitting there, looking at you with it's bright eyes. 2 of the tails went over his and down his sleaves, the others went all around his body. He wore white paints with black fire running up the sides. But as sakura was looking at him, she looked at his face, and gasped. those blue eyes, the ones that held so much depth, so much pain, so much hurt. She barely managed to say his name.

" Na…Naru…to!" She Screamed, running forward she threw herself around him and sobbed into his chest. She felt his hands pull her closer, and then heard him whisper in her ear.

" I'm back…..Sakura-chan."
