lostmoonchild: This fic is going to be dedicated to a friend of mine who was recently put into foster care. Dimwit, this is for you! I don't own Naruto… story is mine though so no stealing! The bold is me talking and the not-bold is the story.
You may piss me off sometimes
"I am going to kill you!" Sakura shouted as she chased after Naruto
"Sakura! STOP IT!" Naruto shouted running away. He may have been a good fighter but when Sakura got pissed at him, he ran away as fast as he could.
But you kick the ass of whoever tries hurting me
"BASTARD!" Naruto shouted beating the living crap out of a guy who had ambushed and beaten up Sakura. Sakura watched with slight surprise, feeling very little sympathy towards the guy. She was surprised, however, that Naruto would have even considered beating the crap out of the guy since they had recently argued about who was the better fighter.
And in return, I ATTEMPT to ease your pain… attempt being the key word
He was hurting again, Sakura could tell simply by the fact that Naruto had turned down his favorite food AND training. That simply was NOT a good sign. "Hey, fox-boy." Sakura said with a small smile. Naruto looked at Sakura and saw the worry in her eyes. "Hey. How's your arm?" Naruto asked. Sakura smiled a little and said, "I'll live. Won't be fighting for a while."
"I'm glad you're alright."
Remember when I told you not to get yourself killed? That applies even now.
"You baka!" Sakura said taking care of Naruto's injuries. "How do you manage to get yourself into trouble?"
"Wasn't my fault!" Naruto protested wincing. "He wanted to fight so I agreed. Can you blame a guy for wanting to defend his honor?"
Sakura sighed knowing perfectly well that the blonde haired boy wouldn't give up. He was just as stubborn as she was. "I don't want you to get hurt, that's all." Sakura whispered. "Or killed."
Remember that day, we made up nicknames for each other? I called you "Dimwit" and you called me "Old Hag"? Yeah, those were the good old days.
Naruto frowned as he sparred against Sakura. Kakashi was watching which was surprising since normally he was looking at that magazine. "Nice try, blossom." Naruto said pinning Sakura.
"What'd you call me?" Sakura asked looking confused.
"Blossom. it's a nickname for you now." Naruto said with a grin.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Sakura shouted head butting Naruto. "Fox-boy."
That was our promise, our way of life. You were Naruto, trying to find your place. I was Sakura, bashing you on the head. This is my gift to you, Dimwit, but I'll keep it in a safe place for when you come back home again.
Kakashi laughed and watched as the two sparred against each other, determination showing clearly in their eyes. He had watched their relationship from the beginning. At first, they didn't like each other too much but now, now they'd kill whoever killed their friend. It was a complicated relationship but that was alright. Both were very complicated people.
I write this now for you, Dimwit, because you are Naruto. Grow strong like him so that someday, you can overcome your own demons… and not be taken down by me.
lostmoonchild: Damn, I had a couple of brain freezes trying to figure out what I was going to write since the relationship between Dimwit and me is kind of complicated. But then again, so is Sakura and Naruto's relationship so I guess this will work out just fine. Read and review, flames accepted although I warn you, this is my first -and probably last if I can't figure anything out- Naruto fic. Oh yeah, I'd like to thank Kakashilover13 for checking out the story and telling me what she thought BEFORE I posted this fic.
