Chapter 3#

Her feelings in Ichiraku…

It has been a long day at the academy. I thought 100 years of my life just passed me like lightning. Well, I now finished my lessons and I felt so happy to finally go home now, but I feel like I have to do something. Yep… that's right, I have to ask Sakura if she's alright with me walking her home…hmm...Uzumaki Narut, be a man!...you can do it...

"Sakura-chan, can I walk you home please?" Said the Blondie with a slight blush on his cheeks, as he slowly walked up to the Cherry Blossom.

"Well I can walk myself home, but if you really want to, then sure, you can!" She said with a shy face as she found the floor very fascinating.

"Really?!" said the jinchuriki with excitement, "It's a pleasure for me to take a beautiful lady like you, home!" He continued with a smile on his face.

"Hehehe" she laughed at him, but inside she felt so honoured by her companion's words.

There I am, walking like a complete moron with a stupid grin on my already red face. Why does my heart beat so fast when I am near her? I was questioning myself. I wonder… does she also feel something, at least a slight tickle in her tummy, when she is next me.. I wonder about that... I have to say something...but what should I….?

"Naruto, would you like to go to Ichiraku ramen shop with me?" she asked him and glanced down on the ground. "I feel hungry, but if you don't want to it's alright with me." She finished her sentence and continues to walk down the street.

Did she really asked me to go with her to Ichiraku? Is this a DATE?! At the place where I normally eat my lovely, lovely ramen…or is my imagination shooting me up to the heaven of cherry blossoms?

"Ichiraku?" He looked down at her, hoping he didn't hear her wrong.

"Yeah, Ichiraku" Her hair was flowing in the air as she sent a warm smile Naruto's way.

"Dattebaoy!" He jumped in excitement. "Yeah, we can go, I love Ichiraku, I always eat ramen there!"

"Hahahaha, Naruto you are so funny, I really love it!" The pink haired girl said with a great smile on her face that let slight giggles escape.

Oh my Kami! I am really happy, never have I ever felt like this before in my whole miserable life. I walk on with her to my favourite place called Ichiraku… she loves my words, the way I am addressing her. I never saw anyone laugh so happily with such a big and warm smile on their faces. I have to treat her then...ohh SUGAR I hope I have enough money with me to treat her well! At this moment we are on a date! …well probably only for me. I bet she doesn't feel the same way. I just have to make it the best time for both of us, because it only comes in once in your life…

Coming near to a great place, where you can fill up your empty stomach, with an amazing delicious food… ramen. This place is always good to visit when you feel so empty inside and have pain in your chest…well I am not talking about if you are hungry…I am trying to say that when something wrong you are always welcome to visit here, because the old man always cheers you up, and also you can get lucky and he might treat you with a bowl of ramen for free.

"Hello old man!" the Blond ass shouted with great emotions. "I need to treat this beautiful lady with…" He was cut off by Sakura.

"Konnnichiwa! May I have a medium bowl of pork ramen, please!" She bows down to the old man in a polite way, and finished the sentence for Naruto.

"And for me as well pork ramen, please!" He said "I feel so hungry now too, it was a very good idea to come here after all, Sakura-chan" He continued muttering.

Here I am, in Ichiraku, sitting with a beautiful 'Cherry Blossom' of my dreams, hoping that she is enjoying my company. I need to know this for sure…

"Hey, Naruto." Started Sakura. He looked at her with ramen popping out of his full mouth. "Hai?" She looked down on the table. "What do you think of Sasuke…?" Naruto hummed for a minute. "Hmmmm. Well…" He was interrupted by Sakura's dark side. "ISN'T HE A HOTTIE?" Sakura only realised what she has done when Naruto choked on his pork ramen.

No way. Sakura likes Sasuke? But… Sasuke is a total jerk! How can someone beautiful and kind as her can like someone as cold and ungrateful like that Uchiha brat?

Different thought were racing through Naruto's tiny mind.

"Oh, I'm so sorry; I never meant to jump like that." She looked worried but forced a smile out. "He is just so dreamy; I can't take my eyes off him…" Sakura confessed.

"No! This can't be!" The Blondie thought to himself, and with that their imaginary date came to its conclusion.
