I Don't own Naruto.


Sakura looked at the boy, tears slid down her face and she sighed. There was no getting rid of this boy. What would Sasuke say if he found out? What if he was actually starting to love her back? What if her last chance was ruined? Then what? How could she take a risk like this? Risk everything she's worked for for 10 years. How could she just look back and love Naruto when all she wanted was Sasuke? How?

Sakura stared at the now crippled boy, his face still had that grin and his eyes still shown with some hope. "Naruto, I can't,"

"Yes you can! You can go one! JUST ONE," He persuaded. Still holding onto the girls hand. "I swear just one please, I won't tell Sasuke or anyone! Just you and me! Come on please Sakura-chan!"

"Naruto," she whimpered. She hated decisions, she hated having to pick, and she hated it all. She knew how this triangle worked; she knew its cruel cycle all too well.

"Sakura I'm not asking you to love me… I'm asking you to give me a chance, one chance," the boy whispered to her as he coughed up more blood. Sakura looked at him and gave him her normal concerned look. She slowly bent down next to Naruto and gave him a small smile, as Naruto still clung onto Sakura's hand, she punched him in the back of the neck and he passed out.

Sakura slowly picked up the boy and made her way down the street to the next apartment complex. She carried him up the steps to his room. She stopped in front of the door entitled 103. She whipped out the extra key the boy had given her… more she demanded of him. She did this so she could restock his food and do his laundry, she got sick of seeing Naruto's clothes either dirty or bleached to the max, and the ramen could be smelt with in a mile of where he stood. She got into the room and dumped him on his bed, healed his broken bones, and the internal bleeding she might have accidently give him. She healed everything she could, but she's not a miracle worker, she can't heal a broken heart with her chakra. So she set his alarm and left a post it on the snooze button.

She made her way to the exit, fully knowing that he would either wake up within seconds or he would wake up in a couple of hours. She left soon after, making sure everything was still stocked and he had no new dirty laundry, she needed to go get her own hours of sleep.

The boy decided to dream instead of waking up to the reality he knew all too well. He dreamed of being Hokage, and of finally earning a date form Sakura, he dreamt of meeting his parents, and he dreamt of Sasuke and the rest of team 7 going back to normal, which he knew was impossible. But one could dream couldn't they?

Hours passed since Sakura had left when the alarm woke the boy up. It was 6 at night, 4 hours since they had seen each other. He growled at the annoying beeping sound as he flung his arm across the bed onto the corner table, successfully beating the crap out of the alarm clock. He rolled over toward the clock to what the time was, 6:00 PM. He gave a dirty glare towards the clock and realized something was stuck to his hand.

"What the…" the boy mumbled as he peeled the pink post it off his hand.

'I can't, but I will… Friday night 8 o'clock at carnival… if you're late I'll beat you. Sakura'

The boy read the note 5 times in a row and thought about what had happened earlier… woke up late… went to brunch… 2 bastards were late… Sasuke-teme was an ass to Sakura… he didn't beat him up though… he walked Sakura home… and then…

"OH! WOAH WAIT… SHE'S GOING OUT…. WITH ME!" Naruto yelled to himself. His eyes bulged and he read the letter again, and he jumped up out of bed and screamed with happieness. He couldn't even believe it…

He had a date with Sakura-chan Friday Night.
