Inner Sakura, Kyuubi

"thoughts"

"Thanks Sakura-chan ahhhhhh it feels a lot better now that I can move my arm freely" said Naruto. Naruto looked up at her eyes before giving her his special grin that was reserved for her alone.

"You're welcome," she replied before picking up the old bandages and throwing them in a nearby waste basket. Naruto watched her pick up a clipboard and scribble something down.

"You still love him don't you?" Naruto questioned.

"Hn?" Sakura asked slightly confused.

"Sasuke." He said. Sakura turned to look out the window.

"No, I don't he knocked me out and left on a bench after I told him I loved him. But I could forgive him for that but he used the Chidori on you and left you for dead. He's selfish, he tried to kill his squad member. Not only did he betray me and you, Naruto, he betrayed Konoha. So no Naruto I don't love him I want him back, but only so Team 7 can be complete again."

Naruto was astounded by this. "Y-Your sure? But what about all those times that You asked him to eat or train. Remember? You wouldn't do it with anyone else but you begged him."

"Anyone else? Like who?" she asked all ready knowing the answer.

"Well…" he began, "That's not really important. You just wouldn't." He said as his smile faltered. Her expression suddenly became somber.

"Naruto," she started,

"I'm sorry"

"For what?" he asked bewildered.

"Because I always treated you like crap, day-after-day I rejected you not caring even though I knew how terrible it felt to get rejected by someone you like."

"It's alright Sakura-chan really it's-"

"NO NARUTO ITS NOT; ITS NOT ALRIGHT no one should ever be done that way," she screamed

"I'm pretty hungry. Wanna come to Ichiraku with me? My treat!" he added quickly hoping that would convince her.

"Sure" she answered seeing as he wasn't going to listen.

"YES" he yelled in pure joy. "It's the least I can do" she thought. "So it's a date?"

"I guess you could call it that"

He was pushing himself up from the bed when suddenly he felt a jolt of pain and fell back down. "That hurts!" He yelled in surprise.

"Here" she offered her hand.

"Thanks."

"Naruto you don't have to thank me for everything!"

"Right sorry." he said taking her hand and lifting himself out of the bed.

"All right let's go" he shouted.

On the way there Sakura could barely keep up with Naruto. She finally managed to see him stop and start digging in his pockets. "Hey," he said turning to face her I need to run over to my house and get my wallet. Do you wanna come or go on to Ichiraku?" he asked.

"I'll come with you if that's ok," she answered.

"Right," he spoke "This way."

"Hey"she thought, "This is the way to my house only you have to turn left at the street in front of my house then take the next right. Come to think of it I've never really been in Naruto's house just at the doorstep. That's odd I thought his house was across town."

"Hang on" he said. He ran in the house and picked up a small toad with a large amount of coins in it he emptied some into his hand and returned to the door. "Alright" he said before taking off. Sakura followed quickly behind him. He slowed down as they approached Ichiraku's . He finally landed and waited for her. He lifted the small drape for her as she walked in. They both walked over and sat at the bar.

"Oi well if it isn't our favorite customer! Naruto-kun what'll you have?"

"Ten Miso-Ramens for me."

"And for you?"

"I'll take the same please but only one " Ayame walked to the back and told Teuchi the orders. Then she came back and leaned over the counter.

"What's going on?" she asked to no one in particular Naruto followed her gaze.After watching the scene for several more minutes he figured it out.

"Oh some little brat was caught shoplifting." Ayame then turned her gaze back to Naruto.

"So is this a date?" Ayame asked slyly.

"…"(Naruto)"Crap I want to say yes so bad but Sakura might kill me."

"I guess so yeah." Naruto inwardly smiled as they both began to blush slightly.

"Ayame" came a voice from the back. Ayame walked into the back and returned with five of the six of the bowls and made a second trip back with the rest.

"Here you go" Sakura ate slowly pondering where Sasuke was. She told the truth earlier when she said she didn't love him but that didn't mean she didn't care about him at all. Still though came Inner Sakura he was never there for us(as a friend/teammate) True thought Sakura. If you're going to love someone they've got to be there for you through thick and thin. Whether your happy or sad. Sasuke wasn't there at any time(as a friend). So you're saying that if they're there for you then there a good boyfriend and possibly more right? Exactly, and someone that watches your back, helps you when you need it, but most importantly loves you back and don't forget they've got to be someone handsome. But who would that be? Well just think about it. Haha. What? Its so obvious he's right in front of you. TEUCHI-SAN? I thought you were the smartest one at the academy! Hahahahaha! You must've been at the "special" academy. That would explain Naruto being there! WAIT!!! NARUTO!!! You meant NARUTO!! DUUUUHHH! But he's loud and hyperactive! Oh and you're not?

Not like him!!! How do you know that? Didn't Sasuke call you annoying? Didn't you used to call Naruto annoying? Who cares what Sasuke- teme said? Who cares wha Sasuke-teme says? I've heard that from a certain blonde shinobi before! But c'mon not Naruto! Why what's so wrong with liking Naruto? He loves you saved you countless times and always wanted a date with you. Remember how happy he was when you said you'd go on a date with him. He's strong and can hold his own against almost any shinobi. And you've gotta admit he is pretty handsome. What !

Sakura's thoughts were interuppted when an ANBU entered the door way.

"Hokage-sama has requested to see Naruto immediately." With that he disappeared.
