Love Wouldn't Be Love Without Obstacles

Part 1: A Storm of Tears

It was a rainy April day. It was around 11:30am and Naruto Uzumaki was still sleeping-imagine that. The heavy rain and thunder eventually woke the blond demon-fox boy. "Huh? Where am I?" Naruto asked himself looking at a wall; he had his feet on his pillow and his head at the bottom of the bed-how typical for Naruto. After a few seconds he realized he was in his room and that the loud thunderstorm woke him up.

Naruto walked into the kitchen with only a pair of black and red boxer shorts on him. He opened the refrigerator and looked for something to eat; nothing! There was not a single thing to eat in that big refrigerator. "What? Oh come on!" Naruto sighed. "Guess I'll have to go the grocery store" he thought to himself. He went back to his room and looked for some fresh clothes. He picked up a blue shirt only to realize that it smells like it hasn't been washed in weeks; which was probably the case. Naruto eventually found a clean black t-shirt with a gray Konoha symbol on it. It was hard to believe but Naruto actually had clean pants in his closet.

Naruto walked up to the front door and put on a jacket and a pair of old worn out sneakers. He took an umbrella and opened the door. In front of the door was Sakura Haruno who was just about to knock. "Sakura!" Naruto smiled. "Hey Naruto" the bright pink haired girl said. "What's up? Were you looking for me?"

Sakura then told Naruto that she wanted to go shopping and was wondering if he wanted to come along. "Well you're in luck! Normally I'd turn you down but I have to shopping for groceries myself!" said Naruto and gave a friendly smile to Sakura. She returned the smile and they both went off.

The thunderstorm was very strong; it was one of the biggest storms in Konoha in 4 years. "Oh come on! Seriously? My hair's going to get all wet!" Sakura was panicking on their way to the store. "Jeez…girls are so over focused on their looks…" Naruto sighed. Sakura gave Naruto a "don't make me kill you" look and kicked him in his manhood. "Ooooooow!" Naruto started crying and rolling on the wet ground.

After a while they reached the store. They put their umbrellas in a special container for umbrellas before continuing. They each grabbed a basket and started walking down the aisle. Sakura was looking at some hair products while Naruto was grabbing one of every kind of Ramen that was available in the store. He then saw the last cup of his all time favorite ramen. His eyes were shining and his mouth was drooling. Naruto quickly walked up to the ramen and grabbed it. He put it in his basket and turned to his left, he saw Kiba Inuzuka looking at dog food. Sakura came up to Naruto and asked him what he's looking at. She turned around and saw Kiba. "Oh, look it's Kiba! Hey Kiba!" Sakura shouted. Kiba turned to their direction and gave a smile and waved. He then started walking towards them.

"Hey guys!" Kiba greeted Naruto and Sakura, "What's up?" he asked. "Oh nothing special. Me and Naruto are just shopping for some stuff. You?" Sakura said and smiled. "Meh, the same. My mom and Hana are out of town and they also took Akamaru with them, so I have to do all the house work myself" Kiba sighed. Sakura giggled, "Well let's hope you find someone who'll do the cooking and cleaning for you" she said. "Um… I hate being the party breaker but I should really get home. I still have something important to do. See you later!" Naruto apologized and ran off. Naruto? Having something important to do? Hmm… something fishy is going here and it's not the pile of fish next to Kiba and Sakura.

Naruto paid for the things in his basket and quickly ran home. He closed and locked the front door and threw the bag of items he bought on the ground. Tears started flowing down his cheeks from his red puffy eyes. He threw his rain coat, jacket and shoes on the ground and threw himself on his bed. Naruto had this big crush on Kiba since the Sasuke Retrieval Arc-that nobody knew about, sometimes even Naruto tried to deny it, he wasn't sure what Kiba or everyone else would think; it's not that Konoha was against same-sex relationships, they were completely fine with it, some were even big supporters of it since they thought that a shinobi would save a lover a lot faster than just any team mate. But Naruto still couldn't get over the fact that he probably doesn't just like Kiba, he probably loves him. Normally he wouldn't run home and start crying if he saw him-like a crazy person would do-but a few weeks ago Naruto saw Kiba kissing some girl.

Eventually he calmed down and heard a knock on his door. "Who is it?" Naruto shouted. "It's me, Kiba! I need to tell you something important!" Kiba said.

"What? Something important? What could it be?" Naruto thought to himself. In the split of a second hundreds-if not thousands-of thoughts came into Naruto's mind. He whipped away his tears with his hand and quickly ran towards to front door.
