It all sorts itself out. The environment. The surrounding. It all sorts itself out one way or another so there's nothing he should be worrying about. Is he afraid of the crowds of people? Could a person among them be true love? It's been only 4 days 9 minutes and 12 seconds since he left his mercenary life. They've accomplished their mission and now all there's left to do is reap the rewards. He no longer needs to live the life of a killer. He can stay happily in a nice little home, go to a nice little school with his step-sister and live happily ever after.

"But then why…" Naruto spoke silently to himself, "…why do I still see blood?" The blood of people. How they die. How they would die. How they should die. All these stats appearing inside his head in numbers and it haunts him to this day. He felt like a computer. A soulless, hallow, computer

"Naruto-kun?" His eyes open and reveals a room. It's made out of wood and has a traditional fashion into them. The purple and pink flowers flowing gently down the curtains. It all looked real to him. However. This is not what made the room special. The source of the nice, smoothing voice who called out his name stands before him. Leaning forward with a troubled expression, "Are you okay? Is it one of your nightmares again?" This girl with pink locks and a kind smile. His partner during his mercenary days. She stood by him for all these years. She knows him. She knows that he's a killer. They both are, "S-Sakura…" Naruto spoke, drenched in sweat. He didn't even feel like it at first but he's exhausted. For what? Sleeping!?

"Shh…" Sakura cooed and brought him close. He doesn't know if she noticed but she placed his head directly on her breast. The soft feeling and warmth was far better than any pillow in the world.

"…I know you'll do the same for me. If I fell from the world like that." Her silent voice quivers. Like a candle, "I know we've been through some tough spots but we were always together and now…we'll always be together forever. There's no threat. There's nothing to hide from. We have a peaceful life so, at least for me Naruto-kun. Try and enjoy it."

Naruto couldn't. It's impossible. The faces just keep appearing. He won't be satisfied. Until…

"I can't. I don't think I can go to school tomorrow."

Sakura displayed a disappointed face, "Naruto-kun…" she removed his head from her chest. Naruto pouted immediately. But she held still as a rock and looked directly at him, "…You skipped the entrance ceremony and I understand that but you can't skip the first day of school. I won't allow it. You're coming to school with me and I know you're going to make a lot of friend. I can't stand and watch my brother ruin himself like this." Tears brimmed around her eyes, "This is what we fought for, right? I mean. This is what we want. Right?!"

"I don't know what I want anymore." Naruto admits. A cold atmosphere is placed and Sakura stared at him. Baffled, "Are you mad?" Naruto asked, feeling sorry for her. He brought her a long way for nothing and he's now being a butt over it. She sighs. Turns her herself towards the dishes and begins washing what they've just finished for dinner. Her pink ponytail tied tightly as she began. She always did housework when she's upset but this time. It felt different. She looked worn out, "It doesn't matter…" she said with resolve and Naruto almost fell backwards. What is she trying to say? Is she done with him? He can't handle it if it's like that. He'll die. He'll die right here on this spot. He regretted completely what he said and tried to reach out to her, but she felt so far, "Sakura-" he called, but quickly cut off.

"I mean…I would follow you no matter what. So it doesn't matter. I don't care if we go to school. I don't care if we go to battle. As long as I'm with you…" she turns her head to him and hides her eyes, "…I would follow you through the darkest valleys. I would be with you until the end of time. You have nothing to worry about. But for now…could you at least, for now, try and be normal along with me. Can you follow me to school tomorrow? I promise. You'll have fun."

"Y-you're right…" Naruto looked at her. He couldn't say no. He couldn't lie and say yes either. But for whatever reason. She is right and he would force himself, at least this once to follow her. The day marks the day where one of the most extremely dangerous duos enlist in a normal school. Can they survive?

A/N: I know it's short. Don't need to tell me anything. I will make it longer if this gets enough reviews. I also know the punctuations are wrong. That's just my style of writing. If it's confusing…I apologize.

Edit: Dang it. I didn't meant to make it all bold. Wont' happen again...hopefully.
