Sakura stood frozen and a bit shocked from Naruto's honest response. He has just told her what she was scared to hear. Naruto told her that he loved her. Sakura was scared of love. I mean after all her first love hadn't worked out so great. Sasuke had left and she was left with heartache. Naruto on the other hand vowed and promised her that he would get him back for her.

"Sakura-chan" Naruto asked Sakura who was still staring off into space.

"Yes Naruto? What is it?" Sakura responded now less spaced out.

"Umm well you have been staring off into no where for a quite a while are you okay?" asked a very confused Naruto.

"Yeah I'm okay" responded Sakura

That was far from the truth. What Naruto had just said was still in her head and it kept making her wonder. Sakura took a minute to observe Naruto. He wasn't ugly. Far from it, he was actually pretty cute. "Cute" what had Sakura just thought? Could she possibly ever think Naruto of more than just a friend? Suddenly Naruto interrupted her thinking.

"Sakura-chan, can you please feed me?" Naruto asked pleading.

"What? Naruto why would I do that?" Sakura responded

"Umm well see my left arm is hurt and I am left handed and well it is hard to eat" Naruto said sheepishly

"Oh umm I guess that is okay then" Sakura said grabbing the tray from his lap.

The nurse had just recently walked in and given Naruto his food. At first he complained because he wanted ramen and the nurse insisted on him eating healthy for once. Sakura seeing the nurse was having trouble convincing Naruto hit Naruto on the head and made him apologize for giving the nurse lip. Naruto then without second thought grabbed the tray and tried to eat until he asked for help from Sakura.

While Sakura fed Naruto she kept once again repeating what he said to her in her head. "because I love you…" . Did Naruto really mean that? She couldn't concentrate on the task at hand and then if it were fate she spilled some yogurt on Naruto's lap. At first Naruto reacted laughing. Sakura on the other hand was startled with his sudden laughing and spilled the rest of the yogurt on his lap. She blushed a little because of the mistake she had made. Naruto was still laughing.

"Naruto how is that funny?" Sakura asked perplexed.

"Sakura-chan it was an accident plus, your face made a funny face and it was cute" Naruto answered still half laughing.

Sakura couldn't understand here she was. She had just spilled yogurt on him and he held no anger in his eyes what so ever and he was laughing. Sakura quickly got up and went to the table across the room to get a napkin to clean it up.

"Naruto stop moving I am going to clean the yogurt" Sakura said heading towards Naruto.

"Hey Sakura-chan its okay, I will do it myself" Naruto said blocking his lap.

"C'mon Naruto I insist it is my fault you have yogurt on your lap anyway" Sakura said trying to remove Naruto hands from his lap.

"It's okay Sakura-chan it isn't your fault" Naruto said trying to keep his hands where they were.

Naruto and Sakura kept arguing and fidgeting for a good two minutes until Sakura finally won the little hand battle they had there, but when she was about clean his lap Naruto moved and well lets just say Sakura's hand landed somewhere that wasn't his lap. As soon as Sakura and Naruto realized what had happened they both blushed immediately. Sakura quickly removed her hand and Naruto tried to avoid her gaze because he was embarrassed.

"Umm Sakura-chan sorry I didn't mean err for that to happen" Naruto said somewhat nervous.

The room had just become silent and uncomfortable. Sakura didn't completely process what had just happened. She got the art where her hand went on Naruto's manhood, but what she didn't get was she didn't want to move her hand at first. If it wasn't for the fact that Naruto looked at her she would have probably not moved it. "What the heck was that" Sakura thought. After what seemed for an eternity of silence, but in actuality was only one or two minutes, Naruto spoke again.

"Sakura-chan I said I was sorry something like that will never happen like that" Naruto said in a serious tone.

"What Naruto, umm yeah… Something like that better not happen again" Sakura said in a stern tone which came out a bit more strong that intended.

"Naruto I got to go for now, I will be back later okay, don't go anywhere and get in trouble stay in the hospital" Sakura told Naruto almost in a demanding voice while heading towards the door.

Naruto just nodded his head. Sakura left and closed the door behind her. She was going home to take a long shower and relax. It had been an exhausting day for her. Sakura walked out of the hospital and headed home.

Still inside the hospital Naruto laid in bed thinking about what he had said and done today. Only in one day had he told Sakura he loved her and in that same day Sakura had felt his manhood. He wondered what she thought of it. After realizing what he just thought he shook his head and laughed at his perverted self. Sakura could never ever see him like that. She still loves Sasuke. Maybe those two years with Ero-Sennin had turned him a bit perverted.

While Naruto thought about what had happened in the hospital that day, little did he know that a certain pink haired ninja did the same.

Sakura was in the shower at home and once again for the third time that day replayed the events in her head. She had liked when Naruto embraced her in that hug. She also like when she had felt him for that little bit. Could she really like Naruto? Even a little. Maybe it wasn't love like he had for her, but maybe just maybe she like him deep inside? Could she like Naruto? I mean is Naruto the number one knuckle head ninja of the leaf.

"I did like that hug a little too much" Sakura spoke to herself

"I should go to talk to him about what happened today to him, but tomorrow right now I am so tired" Sakura again spoke out to herself.

Sakura finished showering and got out of the shower, got dressed and ready for bed. While Sakura was finding sleep and about to close her eyes. In her head the hug replayed and she sprung up immediately. Why was she thinking about Naruto at this moment? After trying to get the image to go away for about an hour she gave in to her exhaustion and let the replay play.

….

In the hospital Naruto was also asleep and dreaming about no one else, but the girl of his dreams.

"Sakura-chan do that again it feels good…" Naruto said half awake half asleep.
