After reading, PLEASE leave comments bellow. I would really appreciate it. Thanks and enjoy!

It had been the third year of that academy and Naruto was tired of it, she was not going through all of it again, that hatred for her, it wasn't worth it, just to get the right group, one that would accept her but..

'Then again Sakura was graduating, and this year I actually made some friends. I mean sure a lot of kids still beat me up after school and the ANUB weren't pulling any punches, but this year was better. A lot better! Maybe this year would be different and maybe I could make it through.' "Ugh!" 'I just don't know! ... Well, I guess I have to honor my word, I mean I DID tell Jiji I would be the Hokage and I hate lying. Well then that settles it there's ..' There was a rustle in the woods, it came from the trees. No doubt about it, a person was close, no animals that came this far into the woods made noises, well not that loud anyway. Naruto got up and shouted.

"One more steps and you set off the trap, don't believe me, try it, and yes all of you, and no, they didn't take me serious last time. See where that got that them!"

There were three ninjas in the woods surrounding her. She was in a large open patch of very green grass with a few flowers here and there. The sky was clear and sunny, but midday created shadows in the trees resulting in the open plain being the only lit patch of ground. The birds were singing, the crickets were chirping, there was a small breeze that made the heat of the sun stay just right, and the smell of leaves in the air. If you were quiet you could hear the rushing sound of the waterfall in the background.

This was a place where only a few people knew about and could appreciate well enough to risk getting past the jutsu. There was a lagoon and several traps set that were not worth setting off, not unless a prize lay at the other end. The only way to get through was by way of someone else, a byakugan, something to see the unseen, a map, or in Naruto's case an uncanny sense of smell and you had to know about it and want to go.

The leader took Naruto's word for it and stepped back, then he landed right in front of her staring down at the little child. Naruto stood her ground, but took a defensive stance, she hadn't expected him to come out in front of her and definitely not this close either. She was a little freaked, but nonetheless she slowly looked up and got a good look, but she froze in fear when she saw who it was.

now I know my a b c's next time won't you sing with me?

Sasuke had just found out that the boy he had been a rival with for as long as he could remember ' was was a-a g-girl? I can't believe it, he-she was nothing like a g-girl this isn't right there is no way that he's a girl they don't talk about weapons and dreams and fighting and food all the time, paint the Hokage mount in one day, steal something from every home then switch them all up so it takes seven days to sort it all out even with jutsu, smoke the entire ANUB H.Q., set the academy on fire to get out of class, get into a fist fight with Kiba after making a bet that whoever got into the least amount of trouble won and got to pull a prank on the other, loose and still pull a prank on Kiba. There isn't a girl alive that is that stupid, smart, interesting and fun to be with, I mean that's just not, it's just not normal right?.'

Sasuke was on the roof of his apartment when Sakura walked by. She had strawberry hair with rich green eyes she had a normal walk but if you paid close enough attention it was actually a forced walk, to keep a slow normal pass. She had on a traditional clan dress red with a white trim and a circle in the middle and tight black shorts with a holster on her leg and a weapons pouch on her backside. She was the only other person that knew that Naruto was a girl. It was strange, when she was around the villagers she seemed to be well, the most violent and aggressive in the whole group of the fan girls, but when you find her alone she's really nice and calm, and well normal like she has two personalities. Sasuke stood up and hollered to Sakura with a wave. She looked up and saw him too, and waved back. Sasuke jumped down and walked beside her.

"So, what are you going to do, you know about Naruto and all?"

Sakura had known long before Sasuke that Naruto was a girl and now she was concerned that he might tell everyone because Naruto promised if he did she would reveal herself, this did not go well with Sakura because that would make things harder for Naruto and ever since Sakura found out she was like a big sister to her but, she wasn't allowed to be near her, so it made it harder but Naruto understood and now so did Sasuke.

It was a beautiful sunny day and Sasuke walked a little with Sakura, looked up and met her glowing, green eyes that almost made him cry, and taking a second, he got his thought back and said.

"I've thought about the offer that Naruto made and I have come to a decision."

Sakura became very alert and attentive with hope gleaming in her eyes. Even if Sasuke had chosen to tell everyone he would have declined, she looked so cute, there was no way he could disappoint her with those eyes. Sasuke effectively hid his blush and said.'

"I-I won't tell anyone his secret..."

before he could explain Sakura's arms were wrapped around him in a light huge. Sasuke was about to pull away but then he relaxed and waited for Sakura to let go. After a few moments, she did, then looked at him with a smile scratched her head and said.

"Sorry but, thank you, you have no idea what this means to me!This is so good let's go tell him right now!Come on!"

She smiled brighter and there was almost a beam of light on her, she looks so happy. In fact, Sasuke forgot, for a minute, who he was dealing with, she might be nice, but if you fall in love with her your skull gets smashed in. This never actually happen, but it was common knowledge. Then something else came to mind.

"Do you even know where he is?"

Sakura froze she hadn't thought of that. Already several passes ahead of Sasuke with her arms up in excitement, she slowly put them down, turned to Sasuke, and replied with a rather odd face.

"Hehe, no, I guess I don't." giving a sheepish smiled.

At that moment, he remembered how incredibly ditzy she often acted. She slipped her hand up to her chin and thought out loud.

"Well, lets see today is sunny but there are no clouds so he's not with Sikamaru and Choji, and he managed to stay out of trouble, so he's not with Iruka Sensei and the Hokage is doing work outside the village, so that rules him out, and I just passed his apartment... Then he's either training or, in Freshutta, as he calls it." Turning to look Sasuke in the eye she demanded: "Did we work on any chakra training recently?"

He was surprised that she asked him, then remembered that it was a question cooly replied.

"No, not that I can remember."

Sakura made a small smiled and nodded her head in agreement.

"Okay then off to Freshutta it is let's go!"

Sakura raised her hand in a fist and started walking, again. Sasuke expelled a small amount of air posing as a laugh, hardly believing that she not only looked ridiculous but was headed in the wrong direction. Catching her attention with his exclamation, she turned around and gave him the 'What's so funny?' look. turning to point but not leaving her eyes, Sasuke explained

"It's the other way, and put your fist down you look like a baka."

Sakura froze, then slowly lowered her arm and turned fully around with a puckered up face mumbling a few words, but, fortunately, walked in the right direction. 'Sakura is usually very good with directions… maybe it's part of her personality when she's alone. Still she's acting even weirder than usual.' Sasuke dismissed the idea for the present.

It took a while getting to Freshutta and avoiding all the traps. Naruto created a map for Sakura to follow, so in case of an emergency, she would have easy access to the falls. Although, she memorized the map within days and visited quite frequently, so it became a more casual rendezvous for them instead. Finally, they arrived, although, what they saw was not at all what they had expected.
