As Sakura reached for Naruto's back, she knew that she shouldn't invade his privacy like this. She wanted to stop her hand from rubbing his back but she couldn't. Sakura was brought out of her thinking when she heard Naruto start to moan as she stroked her hand up and down his back and drew circles on his back with it.

Naruto knew it was Sakura who was touching his back. He knew what her hands felt like after being healed by them many times a week after many dangerous missions. Sometimes Naruto would fake an injury just so Sakura would have to run her soft smooth hands up and down his back or his stomach because he loved the feeling of her hands touching his skin. Sakura knew Naruto would fake injuries. She loved to feel Naruto's back and his abs. When Naruto and Sakura became fiances to each other, many times when Sakura was tired, she would go over to Naruto's apartment and lay her head down on his chest while Naruto would wrap his arms around her waist drawing circles into the small of her back with his fingers and also kissing her forehead softly. She loved having the small of her back touched. She loved it when Naruto drew circles into it. She loved everything Naruto did to her. He was just so sweet and kind like that!

Sometimes when Sakura was really sad about something, Naruto would use his fingers to draw hearts on to the small of her back, symbolizing his everlasting love for her. This made Sakura feel so special. She would never believe that Sasuke would be this kind to her. He would probably just tell her to get over it and make him dinner or something. Sakura and Naruto loved being close to each other. They were physical in their love, like holding hands or hugging each other. Sakura loved the fact that Naruto would just want to put his arm around her just to hold her. He didn't want anything out of being nice to her. He just wanted to hold her because he loved her. She still remembers how she fell in love with Naruto too. It was a day she'd never forget.

Sakura had just gotten off work and was dead tired. Sakura saw Naruto and thought to herself, hoping that he didn't say anything. 'Man I hope Naruto doesn't talk to me with me being this tired.' Naruto, seeing Sakura, quickly ran up to her asking if she was ok. "Hey Sakura-chan, are you all right?" Naruto asked curious about why she looked so miserable.

"Yeah I'm fine Naruto, I am just fine." Sakura said, getting annoyed.

"I was then thinking that maybe we could go on a date or something, that is, if you want to," Naruto said.

Sakura, having enough of the conversation, quickly said some things she still regrets to this day, even after Naruto forgave her. "You know what I wan Naruto? I want you to disappear! I hate it when you ask me on dates all the time! Sometimes, I wish you had left instead of Sasuke. That way, we wouldn't have to worry about trying to bring you back like we do with Sasuke!"

After Sakura said that, she quickly covered her mouth with tears rising to her eyes.

Naruto just looked at her with tears in his eyes before he quickly jumped off and ran away. Sakura, after seeing Naruto leave, quickly yelled out an apology. "Naruto come back! I didn't mean it! I am just tired, please come back!"

Needless to say, Naruto didn't come back, and Sakura went home crying herself to sleep over what she said to one of her closet friends.

When Sakura woke up, she still felt her face was wet from the tears she had shed the night before after yelling at Naruto the way she did. She still felt horrible getting mad at him like that just because she was tired. He was just worried about her, and she just threw it back in his face.

Sakura thinking about what she did, sank down on to the floor of her apartment and started to cry again, hoping Naruto would forgive her. 'All Naruto wanted was a date and I get mad because I was tired, What kind of friend am I?' That was when Sakura got an idea. 'I know I will take him on a date today to make up for what I said yesterday, That way there won't be any hard feelings between him and me.' So Sakura quickly took a shower and got dressed and headed for Naruto's place. That was when she remembered she had never been to his place before. "Where did Naruto live again? I could of swore he said had an apartment that he lives in. Yeah, like that narrows down the search." Sakura said to herself. Sakura then passed the Ichiraku ramen stand place and decided to ask for directions from them. After qucikly getting directions from them, she headed towards Naruto's apartment.

'Why was Ayame glaring at me like that?, It was if she knew I hurt Naruto' Sakura thought to herself. And she was right, Ayame did see and hear what Sakura said to Naruto.

Although Ayame wouldn't admit it she did and still does have a crush on Naruto but she never told anyone not even her father. When Sakura got to see the outside of Naruto's apartment, she instantly felt sorry for him, seeing the dump he had to live in. So when Sakura opened the door to his apartment room, she felt even worse for Naruto. It was a wreck.

Pipes were exposed, The ceiling was cracking, There was hardly any good lighting but when Sakura went into his bedroom her heart broke. Everything was smashed his bed was in pieces and all of the pictures of Team 7 were all broken and ripped to pieces. Needless to say, Sakura knew that Naruto must have been really hurt by what she said to him to have done this. Sakura ran out of Naruto's apartment and began to look for him everywhere. Finally, after about six hours, she found him sitting on the Hokage monument on the Fourth Hokage's nose. Naruto then spoke up. "Are you disappointed Sakura? I wasn't able to disappear like you wanted me to?" Naruto asked with hatred and sadness in his voice which made Sakura tear up knowing how much she hurt him.

"I didn't mean what I said Naruto. I was just tired from working all day at the hospital. Truthfully, I would love to go on a date with you," Sakura said, almost pleading to him."Is that true Sakura? Or are you just taking pity on me and wanting me to forgive you?" Naruto asked.

Sakura quickly answered, "I mean it Naruto! I was so sad today when I went to your apartment and found everything smashed and busted, and then when I looked into your bedroom, I felt even worse!" As Sakura finished her sentence, she quickly kissed Naruto on the lips. She wouldn't let him go. Not now. Not ever, as she held him there with her super strength. Naruto was suprised at what Sakura just did, but when he found he couldn't move because Sakura was holding him down, he just wrapped his arms around Sakura and continued to kiss her.

After a few minutes, Sakura and Naruto needed air, so they broke their kiss and Sakura with tearful eyes, put her head on Naruto's chest telling him her greatest secret. Her love for him. "I love you Naruto. Ever since you came back with Jirayia, I had fallen in love with you. When we found Sasuke again and he was trying to kill you, I wanted to split his skull open right there and kill him as slowly as possilbe. I hate Sasuke. He isn't the same as before when he was with us. I'm glad he's gone. I never would have discovered my true love if he hadn't left." Sakura said. "You know I still love you Sakura-chan. Even with what you said to me yesterday, I couldn't bring myself to hate you." Naruto said before placing his lips on hers, catching Sakura off-guard as she began to cry again. But they were tears of joy this time, knowing that Naruto loved her.

Sakura took her tongue and licked the tears she cried off Naruto's lips. At that, Naruto started to kiss Sakura's forehead with soft kisses and started to rub the small of her back, drawing circles into it, making her moan. After they were done kissing, they headed to Naruto's apartment where Sakura laid her head down on Naruto's chest, and Naruto rested his hands on her back, caressing it with his hands, making Sakura fall asleep in pure bliss. Just before they fell asleep though, thay whispered to each other their undying love for each other and with that, they both fell asleep in each others arms.
