P.O.V: Sakura
I trudged to my apartment, exhaustion clearly evident on my face. I had only less than five hours of sleep and then had to attend to patients for fourteen hours. I jingled my keys in the lock of my apartment and pushed, but the door didn't open. I rolled my eyes at the useless thing and banged my shoulder on the door, resulting in it being forcibly opened by the impact. I dusted my clothes up and then locked the door behind me.
I took a quick shower and ate some ramen. Wait, ramen? Oh my word! I'm turning into Naruto! His influence is just too much to bear! Why spirits of the universe! Why have you done this to me! Oh well… I shrugged and just finished off the rest of my ramen.
I crashed into bed and then sighed in contempt. The feeling was great, and it stayed with me until I looked at the clock which read seven p.m. I groaned and thought against sleeping at the moment, since it would ruin my whole sleeping routine, not like it wasn't ruined enough. I grabbed my laptop, but stayed seated on the bed. Why bother sitting on the chair all the way on the other side of the room when I could just lie on the comfortable bed which felt like heaven at the moment?
I logged into Facebook and smiled at the memory of yesterday. I was browsing Facebook and was so bored, I added a completely random stranger. Female, of course, since I didn't want a guy to get the wrong impression. I was particular on who I chose though. She had to be decent and smart looking, not some weird girl, and live very far away from me so she wouldn't come and try to hunt me down if I did anything to her that she might feel offended by. I tend to offend people when I don't even know it. I browsed for a new friend when I spotted a girl named 'Lucy Heartfilia'. She looked pretty with blonde hair, a heart shaped face, brown eyes and a nice figure. I was kind of jealous of her rather large looking bust, but just brushed the thought aside.
I visited her profile page and read her information. She lived in some town called Magnolia in the Kingdom of Fiore, which was good enough for me since she was far away and won't be able to kill me like Ino tried to do every day, every chance she gets. She is female which is obvious what with the bust and all, she only has a father, she's single, interested in men blah, blah, blah and her occupation is being a mage…
… What the flip…? A mage? Seriously? What, like sorcerers and magic and all? Wow, I wonder if she can pull a rabbit out of her hat… well, this Lucy girl sparked my interest so I added her on impulse. To my surprise, she accepted the friend request and we got to talking. Apparently, I found out we had more in common than I originally thought we would.
I smiled warmly, thinking I wasn't the only one in the world with an idiot boy problem and being surrounded by odd balls. As I logged in, I smiled at my increased friend list. I liked her guild members, they all seemed funny and friendly, and they all wanted to add me so I thought 'what the heck?' so that's how it all went.
As I logged in, I checked to see if anything new happened while I was trapped in the white prison hell.
Apparently Ino put up more slutty pictures of herself, Choji broke the Konoha record of most eaten pies which exceeded over a hundred, the news of Sasuke finally returning still hadn't died down yet and Kiba saved another animal's life. Whoop de do! Life is just exciting, isn't it! (I'm sorry, I think I'm making Sakura a little too OOC. I just thought it would make the story a little funnier…)
All of a sudden a loud 'Bing' noise sounded the room, making me jump a little. I will never get used to those stupid sudden sounds, they immediately trigger my ninja instincts and I just have to move. I sighed and then smiled. Lucy wanted to engage in a chat with me.
Lucy: Hey there! How did the early shift go?
Sakura: I left less than five hours after we stopped talking and just got back an hour ago, what does that tell you? =/
Lucy: Ew… um, sorry…? Must be tough…
Sakura: No one said being a ninja was fun…
Lucy: Nin-nin!
Seriously? Nin-nin? Does everyone think that it's all about jumping around in black clothes, carrying shurikens and kunais and walking on walls being considered a ninja?
Sakura: Ha-ha, very funny… T.T
Lucy: Thought it would cheer you up… =S
Sakura: Sorry, so how was your day with Mr. Flame-Brain? =D
Lucy: Just like any other, what a moron… T_T
Sakura: That bad…? O_O
Lucy: he thought it would be funny to do a fire show and might actually cheer me up, but it backfired and my shirt caught on fire. Juvia extinguished it, but half of my shirt was burnt and the guys went all perverted… T_T
Sakura: All of them…?
Lucy: Can you believe it, except Natsu! Man, I just want to break his head off sometimes!
Sakura: Somebody needs to see a doctor about these anger episodes you seem to have… =P
Lucy: What do you think doc? Will I make it?
Sakura: LOL!
Lucy: Ok, so now you have to tell me your situation about you and your knuckle-head. I'm all ears, or eyes, or whatever… ^_^
Sakura: I don't know, it's just so complicated that my brain hurts by just thinking about it!
Lucy: I think I can follow your complicated situation… =)
Sakura: Ok, but you asked for it. The thing is Naruto has actually loved me since we were kids. I just didn't really like him back, since I was a moron at that time. I actually had a crush on the heartthrob of the academy, Sasuke Uchiha. He was what every girl wanted but he had an attitude problem. He had so many fan girls, and I was included in one of them. Naruto still, for some strange odd reason, fell for me of all people, but I'd always push him away since I thought he was in the way of my love for Sasuke. Things happened- too complicated to write it all here- and Sasuke ran away from the village to gain more power to kill his brother- whole other story I'm not going to get into. I was heartbroken and thought I was abandoned, but Naruto gave me a promise of a lifetime that he would bring Sasuke back to me- since I thought I loved him and Naruto considered Sasuke like a brother and a rival to him.
Lucy: ok, I got all of it! Wow, this is kind of complicated, but I'm keeping up! =)
Sakura: I'm not finished. Naruto failed to bring Sasuke back that time and still promised to bring him back for me, even though he loved me and he was like basically bringing another man for me just for my happiness, which should have torn his heart in two.
Lucy: He's sounds so sweet!
Sakura: so Naruto went away for three years on a training trip with his mentor. Finally he came back, stronger and handsomer then ever!
Lucy: And then~! ;D
Sakura: I thought Naruto matured and didn't know why my heart started beating really fast whenever I was around him, but LATER ON I realized that I was actually in love with Naruto instead of Sasuke.
Lucy: Aw~! Poor you!
Sakura: I know right? What kind of moron am I anyways? So like I was saying, Naruto was still on that stupid promise thing! Man, he just can't let things go! So after a while, I was developing feelings for him, but I can't tell if he's moved on or still likes me… finally after a lot of things happened, Naruto finally brought Sasuke back like a few months ago and he thought I still loved Sasuke! Can you believe it!
Lucy: Apparently he doesn't realize that a girl's feeling can falter and change while given the proper length of time… T_T
Sakura: OMG! I know right! That dense moron! He doesn't know that I'm actually in love with him and not Sasuke! Naruto needs to get his brain checked fast before I beat the sense into him! :
Lucy: You seem to be in a very violent mood today…
Sakura: Nah, I'm always like that… =/
Lucy: Since you saw Natsu already, it's only fair that I get to see Naruto.
Sakura: find a picture of the knuckle-head, there are tons everywhere… T_T
Lucy: Description please! ^_^
Sakura: Ah, right, you don't know what he looks like. He's blonde, blue eyes, tanned skin, lean but muscular, he has whiskers on his face-
Lucy: whiskers…?
Sakura: Natsu has pink hair… T.T
Lucy: … true that…
Sakura: alright, whiskers and he's most of the time wearing orange, black or both combined… T_T
Lucy: so he has no fashion senses either… =P
Sakura: Shall I go back to pointing out Natsu's sense of fashion as Aladdin pants, a red jacket that covers up nothing and a scaly scarf…?
Lucy: Alright, already. Give me a second… =D
I sighed and snuggled into my bed, reaching for my chocolate bar that I kept in my side table. Suddenly I felt something else beside my chocolate bar, but something that felt more silky and fragile. I looked over to see a cherry blossom on it and a little note on the side that said 'You weren't here, so I just left this for you- N'. I smiled down at it, putting the cherry blossom in a small cup of water and placing it on my desk. I took the note and then hugged it for a second, then put it in my drawer for safe keeping. I heard a sound and saw that I just got a notification, saying that Lucy Heartfilia commented on a picture of me.
I sighed and went to see which picture of them all did she pick to comment on. I blushed, seeing which picture she did decide to comment on. It was a picture of Naruto giving me a piggy-back ride home from after training a whole exhausting day. I was wearing his jacket and asleep on his back, as he was smiling like he was satisfied with the course of events. Also, and this is the sad part, Ino of all people took this picture.
Lucy: Wow, this guy is so sweet. I love this picture!
I rolled my eyes, but a smile was visible on my face.
Ino: I know right! Billboard brow just won't accept the fact!
My eye twitched at the stupid nickname given to me by the dumb blonde.
Lucy: billboard brow?
Sakura: Ino-Pig! Get lost! And what are you doing creeping around taking weird pictures? You creepy stalker!
Lucy: I think this is cute!
Ino: Exactly Sakura's friend!
Shikamaru: Women are troublesome…
Sasuke: What a dope…
Lucy: AH! You're Sasuke, right!
Sasuke: Uh…?
Lucy: Oh sorry, I'm a friend of Sakura's.
Naruto: ^/^ Ino, can you send me this picture?
Sakura: Naruto!
Lucy: AH! You're Naruto, right!
Naruto: Yup! Who are you…?
Sasuke: Does she always do that?
Sakura: Who knows, I only became friends with her yesterday… T_T
Lucy: Well, yeah, but you have to admit this picture is too cute and Naruto looks and sounds like a really nice guy.
Naruto: Thanks!
Lucy: Oh, you're welcome!
I opened a chat with Lucy to get her to shut up.
Sakura: Lucy, shut up… T_T
Lucy: What's wrong?
Sakura: Don't become all nice to Naruto like your all long time friends… T_T
Lucy: Jealous? =P
Sakura: No! It's just…
Sakura: … shut up… T_T
Lucy: Ok, tell me quickly what you think of Naruto. Pick things from the top of your head!
I raised an eye brow at the question, but shrugged the thought away. I guess I can tell her, and later I'll pester her to answer the same question about Natsu.
Sakura: um… ok… random… well I'll have to say his goofy grin that can brighten up anyone's mood, his childish and playful character, his deep blue eyes that I think I can get lost in them, his untamed ruffled blonde hair that I just want to brush my fingers through, how strong and protective he is, how he would just worry about me no matter whateven for the smallest of reasons, how fixated he is on accomplishing his dreams and… I don't know… I'm just in love with HIM! Satisfied? =P
Lucy: yes, very much, thank you… =)
Two seconds later I get a notification that someone commented on the same picture.
Lucy: OMG! Naruto, I heard so much about you from Sakura! I'm so glad to finally be able to talk to you!
Ino: Sakura talked to you about Naruto? Wow, didn't expect that…
Kakashi Hatake, Shikamaru Nara, Temari Sabaku, Choji, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba, TenTen, Tsunade, Ino Yamanaka, Sai and Lee Rock liked comment of Ino Yamanaka.
Sakura: Ha, ha, very funny everyone… T_T
Naruto: Sakura-Chan talked about me to you? Really! What did she say about me?
After Naruto's comment, my mind clicked. I have just realized that I played right into Lucy's trap, and I knew what her next comment would be.
Lucy: Well, if you want to know. She said, and I quote: "His goofy grin that can brighten up anyone's mood, his childish and playful character, his deep blue eyes that I think I can get lost in them, his untamed ruffled blonde hair that I just want to brush my fingers through, how strong and protective he is, how he would just worry about me no matter what even for the smallest of reasons, how fixated he is on accomplishing his dreams and… I don't know…" ^_^
Shikamaru Nara, Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba, TenTen, Sai, Ino Yamanaka, Jiraiya, Gaara No Sabaku and 15 other people liked comment of Lucy Heartfilia.
Sakura: Lies! When the hell have I ever said that!
Even though I did just said it less than ten minutes ago, I am not about to go blabbing that kind of thing to the world, nonetheless Facebook!
Lucy: Are you going to deny what you just said just less than ten minutes ago? Plus, be happen I didn't write the last and most IMPORTANT part… =P
Sakura: I did NOT say that!
Ino: She's still in the denial stage; she just can't pass it… -_-
Ino: OMG! WHAT WAS THE LAST PART OF WHAT SHE SAID! I WANT TO KNOW SO BADLY NOW!
Lucy: I see what you mean…
Lucy: and can't tell… ^_^
Sasuke: Thank Kami-Sama she's finally in love with the dope and not me!
Sakura: I might not be in love with you anymore Sasuke, but that does not mean I'm in love with Naruto either!
Shikamaru: Your so troublesome Sakura, it's so obvious you have mutual feelings for Naruto…
Ino: Even Shikamaru is saying for you to get up your lazy ass and confess already! XD
Kiba: Naruto, dude, did you die of shock or something?
Sasuke: Naruto isn't even online anymore. He's probably running to the hills yelling in joy… T_T
Neji: you know I think I just heard someone screaming outside "Thank you Kami-Sama!"
Shikamaru: Nah, I think that was Sasuke for finally losing one of his fan-girls…
Sakura: This is all a pretense, stop saying these kinds of things when it's obvious I'm right here… T_T
I heard something from my window and paused in front of the screen, slowly turning my head to the window. I looked to see someone threw a pebble on the window, trying to get my attention. How cliché… I walked over and opened the window and looked down to see a smiling Naruto there, making me shake my head and sigh.
"Can I come up, Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked as I just sighed again.
"Do you have to ask? I'll get the door so just wait-" I was about to walk to the door but Naruto jumped up and climbed in through the window. I made a 'humph' sound in annoyance and pouted. "Naruto, come through the door like a normal person!" I scolded and he just smiled at me sheepishly.
"Sorry Sakura-Chan…" he stated and then I waited for him to continue. "Um… about those things on Facebook that Lucy said… I know that you didn't say them…" he stated with a little sadness as a vein popped out in my head.
'Can this guy get any denser? Lucy doesn't even know him and said all those things about him, and she's been only talking to me until now! It's kind of obvious that I did say all those things about him!' I thought to myself and just sighed.
"But you also said that you weren't in love with Sasuke any more, right?" Naruto asked a bit hopefully as I looked at him oddly.
"It's been years Naruto; I'm not that stupid to keep hoping he'll like me. So yeah, I don't like him any more…" I stated nonchalantly as Naruto jumped up.
"Does that mean I still have a chance to win your heart over Sakura-Chan!" Naruto asked with glee and hope in his eyes that just looked so cute, but I didn't let it show on my face. I took a bite of my chocolate bar that was on my side table, and stared at him for a moment to build suspense before I replied.
"I liked what you gave me…" I stated, pointing at the cherry blossom in the cup on the other side of the room. "Maybe if you swoon me just right, I might consider going out with you…" I stated as he smiled brightly at me.
"Yosh! I'll do it! Don't worry, you won't be disappointed!" Naruto stated, and before I could make a snappy comment, he kissed my cheek and then jumped out the window chuckling. "You won't regret it!" he stated before running away. I watched him run away into the darkness of the night and then sighed.
"I already am…" I stated before grabbing my laptop and lying down on the bed again. I refreshed the page with the picture on it and saw 23 comments were added while I was gone. I rolled my eyes, seeing that no one I know has anything better to do with their time, and then just read the last one that Lucy wrote.
Lucy: Sakura? Where'd you go?
I smiled and thought what the heck, let's tell her… I opened our chat and then told her everything that happened.
Lucy: So you're the hard to get tough type of girl?
Sakura: I am, the words just slip out and I can't take them back… T_T
Lucy: well, at least you won't seem desperate or anything and Naruto looks like he REALLY likes you.
Sakura: I know, but I don't deserve him…
Lucy: yes you do. You are going to eventually go out and love each other, you're going to smother him with so much love to make up for all these years, so much that he'll suffocate in it!
Sakura: I actually had a nice visual picture of it… =P
Lucy: Don't worry Sakura! Fight!
Sakura: You too! Good luck! ^_^
Lucy: Alright, it's late and I have to sleep now. I got a mission tomorrow with Mr. Flam-Brain… T_T
Sakura: Ah, good luck with that too… =S
I logged off after her and sighed. Things were turning out nice, and apparently everyone added Lucy as their friend too. I guess they liked her as much as I did… of course, not for the same reasons though…
I snuggled into my bed, happy to have a nice friend- meaning both Lucy and the bed- to comfort me. I glanced toward the cherry blossom on the other side of the room. I blushed and smiled to myself, praying to Kami-Sama that good things will happen from here on.
