Hey guys... I like very much Narusaku so I decided to make this. Hope that you would like it and please review and if you have any suggestions I'll be happy to listen them.

I want to thank to michelaawesome who helped me a lot with my grammar!

I don't own Naruto even if I would like to! :D

Enjoy! :)

Chapter 1: Realisation

A big explosion was heard from behind them. They started running. They had to make it out, or they would die. The fire was too fast and she knew that she didn't have much chakra to run much more. Right when she was about to be caught in the fire, his strong hands have picked her up. He was running faster than before, trying to save their lives... He was close to the exit but the flames were already burning his back, but he had to protect her. With his own life if it was needed, because he couldn't even imagine his life without her. He could see the light from the end of the tunnel. Yes he will make it. He made one last jump and reached the light. Yes he made it. She was safe now. He was about to put her down, but a new explosion was heard right from behind. He didn't have time to react, so he did the only thing he knew to protect her: he covered her body with his own.

She opened her eyes and looked at him she was shocked: his skin was burnt and his clothes covered by blood. He tried to speak, but he couldn't. So he just smiled at her, showing that he was glad that she was ok, and the he collapsed on her.

Her eyes started watering and her hands started shaking. She had to heal him... Right now there wasn't time for tears. So she sat up and started to heal his burns. He was in a critic condition and they were so far away from the village, that he woildnt survive if she was about to carry him to the village.

She did everything she could to heal his skin and the fox inside him was very helpful. He was still bad but it was the only chance for him to live. She found a cave where to hide and keep him safe. He was in coma, but sometimes he started screaming from all the pain that he was feeling, and she was just holding him in her arms praying that he would be ok, that he would wake up and look at her with his shiny blue eyes and tell her that everything is going to be fine. She was scared that she would lose him. And it was only her fault. This was supposed to be an easy mission. They had to check up that safehouse and see if there was somebody inside. It was one of Orochimaru's hideouts. But it was empty, so she started to look at the scrolls, even if thought it the mission they had. She hoped that she would find something about Sasuke. But it was all a trap. And Naruto was now fighting for his life just because of her. He saved her again. She will never forget that smile he gave her right before he passed out. "Please Naruto you have to wake up". She started crying again. She didn't know what she would do if he would die...He was always there for her, making her happy, and making her laugh, even if sometimes he was annoying and acting like a child. He was there when Sasuke left her, he was there to make her smile and to save her everytime she was in goofy smile that was meant only for her .Now she realised just how much she cared about him, and how important he had become to her over the years.

After a few days he finally started to wake, his whole body was hurting but he could feel something soft under his head."What happened?" He tried to open his eyes but couldn't. He could feel his face was wet. Wait? Wet? He tried again to open his eyes and this time he made it. It was dark and it took him some time to get his eyes to focus. He saw a lot of pink very close to his face. He focused more and he saw her. She had her eyes closed and tears were streaming down her face. Then he rememembered the explosion. Thank God she is okay. But how is he alive? It doesn't matter right now. He had to make her stop crying because he hated seeing her like this. So he tried to speak. But his mouth just didn't move. "Okay Naruto... Focus! You have to say something... Anything!" And with a lot of efort he whispered in a raspy voice:

"Sakura-chan..."

She open her eyes and looked at him. All he could see was shock on her face. And then more tears started to pour down her face. Her lower lip started shaking and then he was just wrapped with her arms around him. In between sobs she was repeating his name. Her thight hug hurt but he liked the feeling of her being so close to him. He struggled with all his strenght to get up and to hug her back. Her body just relaxed in his arms and then he started talking:

"Are you ok Sakura-chan?" he asked . She started laughing. Hard. Did he said anything funny? He didn't know. But she was laughing. And he was happy about her reaction. He loved to see her smile and laugh. He loved everything about her, and he couldn't stand if she was unhappy.

Sakura just stopped laughing and put a shaky hand on his cheek.

"Even if you are in pain and almost died on me several times you are concerned about me." she explained with tears in her eyes. "Naruto... I am so sorry.. I shouldn't opened that scroll... I'm so sorry... so sorry!" she started apologizing and from that beautiful laugh she started crying even more now. Naruto didn't know how to react and just by an impulse he just took her in his arms and hugged her tight. He didn't felt pain anymore, just her warmth.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan! I am ok!"

She was surprised by his sudden embrace but she accepted it and put her head on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his back. Now in that embrace, she realised then that she couldn't live without him. For her it was like nothing and nobody could hurt her anymore, like she belonged there. She could smell his scent of mint. So then she made her decision...

I will try to make the second chapter in a week or so. Please review and tell me what do you think... Hope you liked the first chapter... Kisses :D
