CHAPTER 1

HOKAGE CEREMONY AND FEELINGS

A pink haired girl was walking through the streets towards the Konoha's central hall .She was happy . After so many years she had a true smile on her face .

Today , was the day when Naruto was going to be made the hokage of Konoha .Today she would see him achieve his dreams . She reached the hall and saw vast numbers of people gathered around the stage where the elders were standing .

She stood behind the stage looking at him from behind , When he was unable to see her . She looked at him with loving eyes as tears filled them up to the brim .

She didn't know what had happened between them yet she knew that something was wrong . She knew something was holding him back, when they talked he didn't look into her eyes .Rather than he looked into the sky and usually left earlier than he used to do .

His talks weren't the one that were before ,he was a changed man . Why had he changed she didn't knew .

She feared that he didn't love her anymore .She feared that she had lost the most important person of her life only when she realized how much he meant to her .

At night she cried into the pillow wanting him to be there ,to hold her .She wanted to feel him ,feel the way he touched her in the past .

She was dating Uchiha Sasuke ,the still loved and handsome boy of Konoha …but no one knew except them that it wasn't working between the two . The things Sasuke intended to do with her , she couldn't let him do those . She felt bound to Naruto and wouldn't give up on him whatever happens .

She kept on saying these things to Ino who was presently her only friend who was aware about her feelings for Naruto . She was living only with the help of Ino . Ino had always been there for her .Sakura still remembered how Ino had comforted and told him her biggest regret just two months back .

Flashback 2 months ago

Sakura was drinking in the pub . She was heavily drunk but she didn't care . No she didn't ,she wanted to take out her grief and what better way then to drink alcohol .

She was in pain , pain because the boy she loved never looked at her .Naruto had stopped talking to her and usually ignored her .When she went to him ,either he would move in another direction or he would say his greetings and then use some sort of excuse and go away .

Today when she had asked him to go on a lunch with her , he said that he was busy and went away . She didn't understand why was it happening …why had he changed .It broke her ,she couldn't take anymore .

His dispassionate eyes made her want to kiss him and to see whether he was alive and still there, she wanted to ask what has happened to him .She had the urge to grab him and make out with him ,but did he love her .Of course he didn't or he would have at least talked to her .

She was in depression , depression because the boy she loved so much ,ignored her and what was worse she didn't even knew why was he acting like this .

Suddenly Sakura was snapped back into reality as she felt a hand on her shoulder ,she turned around and saw Ino was standing at her smiling at her sadly .

She took the seat next to her and wiped a tear that fell from Sakura's eyes and stroked her back to calm her up . During the year they had become intimate friends training together under Tsunade had made them regain their friendship .

"Sakura …you talked about making him get back …you talked all heroic stuffs that you would make him realize that you love him and make him come back what happened to all of that …"

" I …say a lot of things (Sob)….I just forget that (sob) …after all I am a human .." she started crying loudly . Ino wiped her tears once again , it was a truth we all do say that we would do this and that .. but sometimes it does hurt and Ino knew that her friend was in pain and she was determined of reducing the pain as much as she could .

She embraced her as Sakura sobbed into her shoulder . Ino closed her eyes as she thought that she might also cry to see her friend so broken. But she held back her tears and said softly " Sakura don't worry everything will be fine .."

" Nothing would be (sob) fine …(sob) NOTHING ."

"Sakura what do you think Naruto would do here ? Would he give up so easily ? Wouldn't that be against his nindo Sakura ?"

Sakura's eyes widened as she pulled away from her and said " No ….he wouldn't give up…and neither will I ."

Ino smiled at her and said "That's the Sakura I knew …remember Sakura I would always be there for you …don't drink Sakura holding up emotions make things worse loosen up your emotions let them come out Sakura …"

"Huh ? what do you mean …"

"Sakura ..you still act to Naruto as if you don't love him …make him see that you do …make the first advance forget the ego of yours why do you think that your ego would be down if you make the first move ?"

"I don't think that …its just that I …am afraid ."

"Afraid ?"

"Yes , afraid of what would happen if he said 'no' what would I do . I wont be able handle anything I would be a dead person although I would be alive .."

"Sakura I know how you feel but you don't know what hurts the most ?"

"What ?"

"Sakura when you aren't able to tell your feelings to the person you love in time then it hurts very much …..when you feel that you have lost the chance of ever confessing your love you are slashed into two …you trust me Sakura if you don't do that you would have only regret in life …you would regret that you didn't take any chance ..maybe he would say yes but if you stay like this then some other girl would move to her .."

Sakura flinched at the thought of any girl getting Naruto and finally spoke "How do you know all this …"

"Sakura by saving you I …would save myself ."

Sakura stared at her and said "What do you mean …?"

A tear fell down Ino's eyes and she said " I did the same as you …I buried my feeling for Shikhamaru and now he is dating Temari …I regret not telling him that's why I want to save you from what happened to me …I want to make you escape my fate .."

Sakura stared at her blankly and said "You love Shikhamaru ?"

"Yes , I do .."

They both stared at each other , Sakura got up and said " I would think over what you have said .."

"Sakura …if you don't want to ask him of as you are afraid of the two letter word …then you can do one more thing .."

"Huh ? what is that ?"

"Make him know that you love and care about him , change your attitude towards him .Treat him ,the way you would treat him when he becomes your boyfriend that doesn't mean go and kiss him mind you .."

Sakura laughed at her and said " I got what you said and hey Ino-"

"Huh ?"

"Thank you very much .."

With that Sakura left with a smile on her face . She felt lightened when she talked with her best friend and felt bad for her as she had also lost the boy she loved . ….

End of flashback

Sakura stared at the back of the blonde .He had a grin on his face stretching from end to end . The grin of his made Sakura's hard fill with a very powerful emotion , in a flash she remembered how they had met .How they used to stay together and talk when Sasuke was gone .

If there was anything that made a smile crept upon her face was when she remembered the blissful date she had with Naruto just before Sasuke was gone . At that time she wasn't able to understand her feelings for him but she felt happy to see him grinning and cheery .

She was snapped back into reality as the elders said "People of Konoha today we are in a historic moment as we give the hokage title to our hero Minato's son Naruto …Hardly very few shinobi's know that Naruto the jailor of the nine tailed demon was the son of the 4th hokage the person who sealed the demon.."

There were gasps from the people who from the elders eyed Naruto and in a second knew that the elders were right . Naruto did look like Minato only the whisker marks differentiated him from the 4th and another that the 4th was a bit slimmer than Naruto.

"Naruto Namikaze do you entitle Konoha and vow to protect it with your life ?"

"Yes , I do vow to protect Konoha with my life but I cant do the second thing ."

There were gasps everywhere ,the elders eyed Naruto with a confused expression . "People of Konoha I would save you no matter what I have to do but I cant entitle Konoha ….Konoha is everyone's not mine or anyone even a street beggar has as much right on Konoha as me so let us change it I vow to protect Konoha till my death and we all would entitle Konoha as it is ours not anyone else ..'

There was a shocked silence after Naruto's speech . Sakura immediately started clapping and soon all the people joined in ,they were impressed by what he had said .He hadn't said yes like all the other had . He had even compared himself equal to the street's beggar .

"Now Namikaze Naruto we declare you as the hokage of Konoha and wish that Konoha progresses in harmony and peace under your leadership.."

"Thank you ." Naruto said as there were tears in his eyes .

Every rookie nine came together to congratulate him . They said together 'Congratulations Naruto .."

"Thanks a lot you all this was made possible mainly with all of your help ..I couldn't have progressed if you hadn't been there .."

Lee laughed and said "Us ? haha we didn't do anything don't be so modest Naruto kun .."

Naruto smiled at him and said "Its not that I learnt a lot from all of you now haven't I ?"

"Okay Okay Naruto but what about the part …when do we get one ?" Ino asked

"hm …what about we go to disco tonight you all tell me .."

They all nodded at once . "Well then I would meet you at the Ball disco where we might dance and have a drink together anyway I would meet you at 7 o 'clock everyone bye .."

With that he disappeared in a puff of smoke as Sakura stared at the place he was standing .She had been mastering her courage and thinking of a way to start a conversation with him .She was getting desperate for him to talk to her , the way he acted made her want and long for him more .

She suddenly felt two arms around her waist and saw Sasuke look at her and said " Sakura would you like to go on a lunch date today ?"

Sakura gulped ,she didn't want to go with him but she couldn't say no in front of everyone and create a scene .She thought in her mind " what should I do ..what should I do…of course that is brilliant let me go on a date with him and then on the date I tell him that I don't love him and that I want a break up ..but he said that he came back just for me to Konoha should I break his heart?....no let us postpone it …when the right time comes I would till him everything .."

Sakura nodded to him as Sasuke beamed at her . "I would pick you up in an hour Sakura." He said as he ran towards the direction of his house .

Sakura stared at his back ,she felt guilty for what she was doing ,she felt that she was using him but that wasn't her purpose .She just wanted to keep him happy if she couldn't be happy and get Naruto she would keep him happy as long as they were in limits but then when the limit would be on the verge of breaking ,she would leave him .

She couldn't make love with anyone except Naruto .Her body and soul belonged to him or so she felt . The care he held for her in his eyes made her happy .

It made all her sorrow and pain lift ,she wanted to get lost in his deep blue eyes .She wanted to forget everything when she saw them .She didn't care about anyone as they made an eye contact. But the question which troubled her was " did he love her ?"

Naruto was moving towards the house ,his heart felt heavy .He always was in pain …why the hell did he have to fall in love with her when he knew that she would never love him .What the hell was wrong with him , he couldn't take anymore .He was at his breaking point .

Life always banged him , it always did . He wanted to be out of misery and sorrow but that wasn't possible when he daily saw her face ,her eyes ,her hairs . Yes still loved her and might never forget her but he had to .They had no future together .

It would always be one sided . He would always be the one who would love Sakura and not her . Naruto knew it , Sakura had already in the childhood given her heart to Sasuke but what Naruto was doing was wrong and he knew it .He knew that he was just running from them .

He didn't want to talk to her but if he didn't see her face at least once he would never be able to live peacefully .He had to make sure that she was safe . He had to make sure that she was happy even though he was dying from inside .

His love for Sakura had caused changes into him .He hardly wanted to talk to anyone ,he didn't want to be in company of any person .All he wanted was loneliness .He wanted loneliness …he wanted to be alone ,he wanted to live a world in his mind in which he had Sakura by his side and they both loved each other .

He felt pained to see Sakura's face . He had seen that she was concerned about him and he was glad about that . He just didn't want to see her although why he didn't knew . He just never wanted to make eye contact with her ,he was lost in her eyes . Her eyes acted like a genjutsu for him and for once he was made to think . He thought what if he had her with him , what if she love him instead of Sasuke …what if she really does love him .

There was no end to 'what if' of him .Due to this he had forged a wall between their friendship . A wall that made him as distant from her as possible . He questioned himself to why he suffered .

He had no signs of avarice , he wasn't stingy , nor was he merciless then why was he suffering . He showed every sign which a good person should shown : he showed forbearance , benevolence ,mercy then why was he being treated like this .

Was it just fate ? Did Namikaze Naruto really loose to the so called fate ?. Now he had come to the conclusion that love was a humbug . It was fraud and a thing which destroys a happy man .

Did everyone consider the other to be moribund ? is that what the truth was that they used them till they served the purpose and then dispose them off .

He wanted to be hokage and not see anyone as much as possible . He wanted to be away from them ..especially her because when he saw her ,his past feelings got sprouted inside him .

He felt a very depressing abdominal lull around him pressing him from all his sides . Presently he entered his house and went to his room .He had bought a new house which he considered to be his melancholy mansion.

His old house which consisted of all his tattered things had been destroyed since the Akatsuki attack .The village had been re built by everyone together.

Naruto remembered when Tsunade first showed him the house and he had gazed at it for half an hour rapturously. Naruto presently jumped on his bed and inhaled loudly. He smelled his own scent and took in the coldness that was surrounding him. He took out his shoes and lay down as he kept on remembering his past.

He remembered how he asked Sakura for dates and how she treated him .From bitter memories he went to happy and warm memories when both of them had gone together on a date .The happiness he felt with her presence, the way he felt was incredible.

That night he had being swaying in the air at the prospect of Sakura going on a date with him but what he was told next made his heart crack . The next day Sakura pleaded with him to save Sasuke as she couldn't live without him .

That day he had got the worst heart break of his life .If she had just told him that she loved Sasuke, he would have been very bad .But when she had gone on a date with him and then told him that she loved Sasuke while the last night he had spent all jumpy and cheery made his heart divide into million of pieces.

He always kept telling him that he was stupid hoping that she would love him when she had Sasuke but he did hope .He couldn't give up …no he couldn't. He loved her so much that he couldn't give up on her but he couldn't either get close to her once again as he was afraid …afraid that his heart would break and if it did once again then Naruto wasn't sure how he would react .

Soon he got up, it was time for them to meet at the disco and as he was the host he must not be late .Naruto was giving this party for a different purpose for him this party was Goodbye party as he would not meet any of them from then.

Naruto got up and went to the cupboard ,he took out his usual ninja dress and then he saw his casual jeans and t-shirts which Tsunade had given it to him .Tsunade had retired as hokage and decided to roam around the world and go back to her business of gambling .

Naruto quickly wore his clothes and ran out towards his destination. Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata, Kiba, Neji, Ino, Temari, Tenten and Shikhamaru were all standing. Naruto suddenly jumped from the room and said "Sorry for being late gu-"

He stopped when he saw the thunderstruck expression of everyone and said "What happened? Have I got mud on my face?"

"No Naruto …we never have seen you in jeans you look hot ." said Ino as she grinned at him . Naruto smiled at her and said "Thank you …you look good as well Ino ..come on let us go in .."

They all went inside together as they kept on chatting .Sakura was set on fire , Naruto looked so hot that she just wanted to throw her clothes and have her way with him .She wanted to touch him everywhere , she wanted him to hold her .

Sakura's heart leapt when she saw him return her gaze. Time stopped for both of them as their feelings were on the verge of sprouting. Anyone could have seen the love they had for each other through their eyes.

"Naruto …so should we dance now ...Naruto ...NARUTO ..."

She waved her hand in front of him breaking his gaze from Sakura , he snapped out of his thoughts and said "What Ino ?"

'Didn't you hear me ..we should dance now.."

"Okay .."

"Idiot it is not okay we must decide partners shouldn't we .."

"Well I guess so.."

"I knew it and I have perfect solution for it …I have got the boys name in the chits of paper those girls who get the name would dance with him ..we are 10 so that wont be a problem.."

"Okay .." Naruto replied shortly .Ino took out chits and said " Hey girls take the chit and get on the floor with your dance partners ."

Sakura gulped in anticipation , she took out her chit and what she read made her eyes widened the name of her partner was " THE SIXTH HOKAGE ." She had to dance with Naruto ,her insides skimmed with joy as a blush formed on her cheeks .

She had never thought about dancing with anyone ..hell she had never gone to a ball . She didn't knew how to dance what if she screwed up?

A dread filled her from top to bottom . She was snapped out of her thought by Ino " Sakura who is your partner ?"

"Naruto ."

Naruto's eyes widened at his name ,it was the name he was dreading .He didn't want to dance with her …why did it happen ? why did this happen ? why did luck always first make him hope and then rub its ass on his face. He had not even wanted him to dance with her , he had given up long ago then why did this happen ?

Sasuke shrugged when he heard that Naruto was Sakura's partner . He didn't intended it to happen .He knew it ,that Sakura loved him but he wouldn't let her go .No, he would tie her like spider does .He would make her get entangled in his cobwebs .

He had already made sure that Naruto gave up on Sakura and now she was his and tonight would be a surprise for her . Yes , he would shock her .

Presently Naruto went with Sakura , Sasuke with Hinata ,Ino with Shikhamaru,Tenten with Neji and Kiba was dancing with Temari .

Naruto and Sakura looked into each others eyes and soon the song started as they started dancing .

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Sway me, make me
Thrill me, hold me
Bend me, ease me
You have a way with me

Sway with me
Sway (sway) (Sway)

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Sway me
Sway me
Sway me now

Sakura had tears in her eyes as the song finished ,she was sure she would collapse on the floor .Her feelings wanted to come out ,Naruto being so close to her made her crave for him .

She wanted to keep on holding like him for the rest of the life . The new songs started and luckily it was a slow one . Sakura rested her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his hands around her .

Tears escaped Sakura's eyes as the song started :

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

During the song all Sakura did was cry , she was broken . She wanted him so much that her heart was getting more holed .Naruto turned to leave but soon he was pulled back into the embrace by Sakura .

"One ..m-more dance please ?"

Naruto's eyes widened at her request and he nodded with agreement . But this time as they danced ,they didn't stay quiet .No, Sakura had to act now and she would . As they were dancing she said to him " Why have you changed so much Naruto kun ?"

Naruto's eyes widened , he couldn't believe what he was hearing was it the music or really Sakura had added the suffix for his name .

"I haven't changed at all.."

But Sakura wasn't going to let him have his way , " Naruto kun tell me the truth please .."

A tear trickled down her cheeks ,Naruto was amazed at what was happening ."Sakura nothing is wrong ."

"Then why did you stop calling me Sakura chan why do you call me Sakura ? Is that because you don't love me anymore ?"

She said to him sadly . Tears came into Naruto's eyes and he was unable to answer but he had to .He had to make her know that he was fine without her so she would move on and not care about me .

"Yes , I don't love you Sakura ….Sasuke does go to him .I really don't love you ."

This was what Sakura had feared ,she had reached it the point where she broke . She ran away ,from the stage out of the disco .She didn't care where she ran all she care was about one thing her misery her sorrow. She wanted everything to end . She wanted to die………
