"You know I'm really tired of you", I said anger rising in each word.

"But Saaakuurraa-chaaan just one date", the blond knuckle-head whined. He's been asking me all week about going on a stupid date. He needs to learn when to give up. I don't want to date him; I have too much stuff on my plate to be worried about dating anyone.

'Ha! You make me laugh too much stuff on your plate like what'.

'Oh great you again, and I do missions, the hospital, unpacking the stuff in my new apartment'.

'One you're on vacation meaning no missions or hospital, two you have one box of clothes to unpack', she replied with a smug look.

'….Whatever!'

I looked over at him and didn't think I could take it anymore. His lips were all pouted out and his eyes were sparkling he looked like a begging puppy, I almost gave in but….

'But what, you know you like him and it isn't like Sasuke-teme gonna come back anytime soon, so forget about him'! My inner self flared.

'Pipe down you know I do not like him, I don't like Sasuke anymore either, I just have more important things to handle', I counter angrily.

'Whatever, but how could turn him down he nice, is gorgeous, and likes you, what more could you need', she replied in a daze.

I looked over, sure Naruto was handsome and everything I mean he's really grown in the 3 years he was gone. He lost the all bit of baby fat he had, he eyes grown more serious but still held that gentleness in them, his golden locks a bit more wild. He was also one of the nicest guys I knew, so thoughtful and sweet.

"Sakura-chan...Sakura-chan", Naruto's worried tone had pulled me from my day-dreaming.

"Huh", I almost slapped myself, real intelligent Sakura.

"Hey Sakura-chan, are you ok your face is really red", Naruto said in the same worried tone.

I brought a hand to me face was I really just..blushing. 'I told you, you like him', inner Sakura said in a smug yet taunting tone. 'Shut up', I replied. 'Nice comeback'.

He was frowning now, and then he started coming closer. What does he think he's doing, I could feel my cheeks flare up even more. He gently laid his forehead against mine and waited a minute before pulling back, a frown still graced his features.

"Sakura-chan you're warm, hmm forget the date I'm taking you straight home okay".

BANG!

"What do mean you're taking me straight home you pervert hmmpf", I was about to storm away, but the firm yet gentle hold on my wrist stopped me.

I turned back to see him frowning at me and rubbing the now forming lump on his head mumble about 'why'd you do that'.

"I'd didn't mean it like that, I think your coming down with something let me take you home, I want to make sure your alright", I could see the worry in his eyes, and sighed.

"Fine Naruto, and thank you", I muttered looking away. A huge –only-Naruto-could-pull-off grin spread on his face, as he nodded his head. Then suddenly he swept me up bridal-style and ran off in the direction of my apartment.

Even if I was slightly annoyed I couldn't help but smile, maybe Naruto wasn't that bad of a guy….

Now what about that date he was talking about earlier. Maybe just maybe I'm not too busy tomorrow

'Told you so'. ….'Shut up'.
