I swore I would never write something like this, but oh well, read on, please.


Heartlessly – Re-done chapter 343
"Oh jeez, gimmie your chopsticks"

She leans in close as she asks for his chopsticks. Naruto blushes as she picks up his chopsticks, leaning on the side of his bowl. Sakura slowly places the ramen in Naruto's mouth, careful not to spill a drop. Naruto tries to slurp up a noodle dangling from his mouth, but Sakura places her hand on his shoulder and lifts the noodle into his mouth, brushing against his lip.

After reminiscing, Naruto stares up at the star-covered sky.

"I must be dreaming," He mutters not noticing a forthcoming Sakura.

"Talking to yourself I see," She asks, catching Naruto by surprise.

"Eh? Sakura?" Naruto said, you could tell he was embarrassed by the tone of his voice.

"What are you doing out here?" Sakura asked.

"I was about to ask the same thing-," Naruto replied. "Just thinking, about… stuff" He finished.

"Sasuke?" Sakura said, as if she had read his mind.

"Well yeah… I guess it's obvious… " Naruto muttered. I swear, I will keep my promise… I will bring him back, even if I have to break my arm to do it" Naruto said, with a serious look on his face.

"I've realized I'll be fine – that is if we can't bring him back" Sakura said also serious.

Naruto frowned. "You don't care about Sasuke? You've grown heartless without him?" Naruto growled, looking away.

"Don't misunderstand me Naruto, what I mean is-" Sakura started

"I know exactly what you mean," Naruto growled.

"I love you, and even if Sasuke's not here, I still have you... and Sai, unfortunatly" Sakura finished, stood up, and left, leaving Naruto with dumbstruck look on his face.
