Chapter 1: The Beginning
She sat quietly on the fountains rim looking down towards the floor the breeze made her short pink hair flutter in the wind whilst her hands were wrapped tightly around her body as if it were a snake constricting it's pray. Her legs closed together trembling while she sat, her tears ran down her cheeks falling onto her kimono when eventually drops of rain starting to fall from the clouds above. The girl raised her head slowly with her shocking green eyes that were filled with tears looked up at the sky, it was rare to see rain in Konoha but it wasn't impossible. The girl then began to lower her head and began to look into her lap once more.
"Hey Sakura what you doing out here haven't you noticed it's starting to rain?" A boy laughed waving at the girl and began walking up to her. Sakura made no movement and didn't acknowledge the boy who spoke to her she remained with her head held down crying.
"Sakura? Are you ok?" The boy asked who was now standing directly in front of her. "Sakura?" He spoke quietly and began to kneel down where he then looked up at her face. Sakura then gently tilted her head to the side closing her eyes tightly causing more tears to exit and to fall down her cheek.
"Sakura please don't cry. Look the village is safe and everyone-"
"I'm not crying about the village you idiot" She screamed standing up sharply knocking him backwards causing him to shriek from shock Sakura then walked a few steps and stopped.
"Well what are you crying for? You did great you healed and saved lots of people from the attack from the hidden waterfall village." The boy stood up and walked towards her standing again in front of her whilst her arms remained tightly around her waist. The boy raised his arms and put them gently upon her shoulders. "Sakura your killing me here why are you crying?" He asked again, he then used his hand and tilted her head up to look at him then placed it back onto her shoulder. Her eyes gazed into the blue eyes of the boy so caring and so trusting to look at, she turned her head away but the boy put his hand on her cheek. Sakura then looked back at the boy the wind blew his spiky blonde hair and he spoke once more "What has made you cry Sakura?" He asked caringly once more.
"You...you could...you could have died...today" She quietly managed to get out. The boy looked at her. "Naruto you almost died today and it was my fault. You could have died...and I'd have seen you again...I'd... I'd have lost you" She whimpered then burst into floods of tears, Naruto then moved closer and hugged her gently whilst she cried into his shoulder making his orange Jumper wet from both her tears and the rain that fell.
"Sakura you'll never lose me. After all the beatings I've had from you over the years I'm not going anywhere I've become immune to the attacks, not even death could take me away from you as your always with me. And this wasn't you fault you were tricked into bringing that guy here to heal him you didn't know that he was a decoy for them to attack us." Naruto spoke strongly "Sakura please don't cry or else you will lose me as you know it kills me to see you cry." Sakura couldn't help but then giggled when she did she looked up at him where Naruto moved a few centimetres backwards and put his hands onto her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "There we are! No more tears you hear me? Giggles only!" He and Sakura laughed. Naruto then kissed her on the cheek. Sakura stood little shocked by this and couldn't help but smile and divert her eyes to the floor and blush like crazy. He then pulled her slowly back to hug her placing his head on top of hers whilst she laid her head sideways on his chest looking at the fountain.
"Sakura what's wrong? NARUTO WHAT DID YOU DO!" Shouted Ino who was about to run when Naruto looked up and her and shook his head then he made a stop sign with his hand then placed it onto Sakura's back once more. Ino stopped running making her now long blonde pony tail flick over her shoulder she mouthed to him "Is she ok?"
"Just scared" He mouthed back "Hey Sakura, Ino is here" Naruto whispered to Sakura's. Sakura then wiped her eyes and turned towards her.
"Hi Ino..."Sakura spoke
"Sakura what's wrong?" Shouted Ino who then ran towards them.
"Just feel like today was my fault." Sakura said looking down at the floor "Just feel like I've let the whole village down"
"No you haven't don't be silly Sakura. You did what anyone of us would have done if we found an injured solider especially when they were wearing a hidden leaf headband like ours. It just turned out that it was a way to attack us which is just sick to use people like that but it's what happens in the world. But yeah so you might have messed up this time-" Ino spoke being interrupted
"Thanks Ino" Sakura spoke sarcastically placing one hand on his hip swaying it to the side, which immediately got Naruto's attention.
"Wait you didn't let me finished so you messed up this one time just think of the hundreds no wait thousands of times Naruto has screwed up" Ino said causing her and Sakura to giggle Naruto then realised what was said and swung his head up towards Ino.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted angrily very unimpressed.
"I didn't mean it like that...well partly but anyway we all make mistakes Sakura it's just learning from them. If I were in your shoes I would have done the same thing so don't worry anyway enough about this the village is safe the people are fine and that's over with it's in the past. Me and Choji were going for Ramen you two wanna come" Before Ino could finish Naruto was already drooling from the word Ramen his favourite food in the whole world.
"Yeah let's go!" Naruto said grabbing Sakura's hand and pulling her along while the 3 ran towards Ichiraku Ramen shop.
They finally got to Ichiraku Ramen Shop where there was no sign of Choji, Ino looked inside and saw Choji happily sitting on a stool on his second bowl of Ramen.
"Choji! You were supposed to wait for us!" Ino shouted in despair, Choji turned around and looked at her.
"How do you expect me to wait outside one of the tastiest foods ever while waiting so long for you! Plus it was raining" Choji retaliated
"It's not anymore well it's drizzling but how long did you wait before you went in?" Sakura asked him sitting down on a stool next to Naruto who ordered the Ramen for them.
"I only just came in a couple minutes ago" Choji said "I got sick of waiting and getting wet from the rain even if it's only drizzling."
"And you on your second bowl in a couple minutes!" Ino spoke aggressively. "Teuchi how long has Choji been in here for?" Teuchi then came over with the bowls of Ramen that he and his daughter Ayame made and gave Sakura, Ino and Naruto a bowl each.
"Oh must have been 5 minutes ago that he came in" Teuchi responded
"I only left you 5 minutes ago to get Sakura and Naruto! So I left you asking you to wait while I get them as you were too lazy to come with and immediately you go in and start to eat! Do you only think of your stomach Choji?" Ino raised her voice
"Not immediately I waited till you were out of sight before I came in." Choji said defensively
"Fine almost immediately." Ino sternly spoke
"Stop whining Ino before your ramen gets cold." Naruto stutter through scoffing his ramen down, he was already ordering his second bowl to be ready for when he finished the last bit of his first. Ino just rolled her eyes and looked at Sakura who was eating her ramen slowly.
"These boy eh Sakura, only think with their bellies." Ino said to her laughing eating some ramen after, Sakura laughed at the comment and then continued on eating her own ramen. Ino and Sakura had, had enough of ramen after 2 bowls whilst Naruto had caught up with Choji and both were just finishing their 5th bowl of ramen.
"I wonder where their put all that food, any ideas?" Ino whispered to Sakura to ensure the boys didn't hear, Sakura looked at them and turned towards her.
"Either they work it off when training and on missions or it'll just catch up with them when their older" Sakura whispered back giggling along with Ino, when Naruto and Choji came sauntering out of Ichiraku Ramen shop and joined the giggling girls outside.
"Ah best ramen ever, hey what you two giggling about?" Choji asked curiously after patting his belly.
"Oh nothing Choji anyways I'm off see ya tomorrow, later guys" Ino told them about to walk away when Choji then followed her causing Ino to turn around.
"I'll walk you home it's late and dark and I don't want to see anything happen to a team mate you know" Choji said to her and Ino nodded her head they both waved goodbye leaving Sakura and Naruto alone again.
Naruto looked up at the sky and put his hands on the back of his head then looked at Sakura who was looking in the opposite direction to him.
"It's getting late...want me to walk you home?" Naruto asked Sakura. Sakura turned her head and looked at Naruto.
"Sorry did you say something?" Sakura replied causing Naruto to drop his hands and his head to fall down in one swift movement. This made Sakura giggle putting her in front of her mouth tilting her head to the side looking at Naruto.
"I said do you want me to walk you home?" Naruto asked again with his head still down.
"Yeah if you can catch up" Sakura shouted from down the street, Naruto raised his head drastically and then ran following Sakura.
"Sakura, hey, wait up will ya" He shouted finally catching her up when he caught her up finally " Man Sakura why did you-" He was cut off by Sakura pushing him to a fence panel putting her finger on his lips he gazed bewildered of her being so close to him.
"There are people sleeping and your loud blabbering is going to wake them up so quiet down Naruto" She whispered gently looking at him she then slid her finger down his lips, down his chin and off his face entirely where she then placed her hand onto his chest, Naruto stood silently looking deeply into her eyes where he could see that maybe she wanted to say something.
"Right my flat is just over there so I'm sure I can manage on my own from here, thanks for running after me whilst I walked home." Sakura giggled whilst removing her hand from Naruto's chest tucking her hair behind her ear and moving backwards where she then waved "Bye Naruto I'll see you tomorrow probably" She said and then ran towards the set of flats Naruto then moved off the fence panel stunned and watched Sakura run away. Sakura ran to the door and opened it looking behind her she saw Naruto standing there watching her. She tilted her head placing it on the door and looked back at him he waved at her and she waved back where she lifted her head and walked through closing the door behind her.
Naruto watched from afar and waited for the door to close before moving his hands to the top of his head once more and watched her apartment light go on at that point he saw Sakura look out the window at him where he again waved he saw her giggling where she waved back and closed her curtains. Naruto then walked backwards a few steps where he tripped over a metal dustbin creating a racket in the street, he quickly got up picked up the things that fell out and placed the dustbin back up right.
"Should I looked and see if she is looking or should I just walk away and hope she didn't" He thought to himself but he couldn't help but look up and see her curtain still shut he sighed "Thank god I'd never hear the end of it if she-"
"I can't leave you for two seconds without you literally trashing the street can I Naruto?" A familiar voice called
"Shit" he thought to himself turning around to see Sakura standing behind him he looked at her hair she had tied it and flick it up placing a clip at the back so her hair fell down over it, her side fringe still fell forward. He looked briefly down so he didn't look like a perve like pervey sage and saw that she had changed as well to just a bagging half cut top that fell briefly off the shoulder and showing her midriff whilst her shorts that she wears under her kimono were still on guessing that she hadn't gotten that far when unchanging.
"Hmm Naruto you must the clumsiest guy in the whole hidden leaf village." She said placing way hand on her hip swaying her lower half to the side. Naruto couldn't help but feel turned on from her stance and her appearance but controlled himself to ensure he didn't make a fool out of him as no doubt the strength that Sakura had she would easily crush him into that dustbin can.
"Yeah well I don't have eyes in the back of my head so I'll know for next time not to walk backwards" He laughed nervously causing Sakura to become curious.
"You alright Naruto?" Sakura asked him "You look a bit hot?" She placed her hand on his forehead and with doing that she moved closer. Naruto reacted and fell backwards into the dustbin and jumped straight out dusting his rear cursing under his breath where Sakura couldn't help but giggle. "You really are that clumsy Naruto. You sure you're ok though?"
"Yes, Yes I'm fine Sakura Just feel a bit like a plank I guess" Naruto laughed scratching his head Sakura giggled.
"Well if you're alright I'm gonna head back in and go to bed. Night Naruto" She said walking back to her flat Naruto watched her walk away and watched her hips sway from side to side it turned from watching to gazing within seconds. Sakura entered the building and closed the door whilst Naruto turned around and walked away walking towards his flat a few blocks away this time missing the dustbin.
