AN: Hey! You guys really seem to be eating this story up! Hell, even though most of you don't review, the view count itself is proof of that. I have almost 1200 views on this story. As I already pointed out I'm a helpless romantic and have never been very good at romantic stuff, but you guys seem to enjoy that I don't know what I'm doing. Actually, recently I was a lot more bold, and put myself out there a lot more, with a girl in my life, and it seemed to pay off. Actually something I said recently is going to be in this chapter, I'll let you know in the next AN what the quote is. Anyways, I hope you guys/girls enjoy. Also that's another point, please, review, even if you have nothing nice to say. I turned off the profanity filter in the reviews for a reason guys! Review the shit out of this story, and I'll post the chapters faster! Oh and btw I'm changing the rating to M just to be extra extra safe... Or unsafe, I don't really know.

Oh yes! And for the replies! I want to thank you individually and with my own words, unlike the usual, "Thanks for your kind words!" That everyone else offers.

aganovic: Thanks! I also feel that way, people have been slacking on the NaruSaku for real. I am honored that you look forward to the updates, I look forward to more of your reviews! I don't care if your English is bad, I can handle a little mispell or even bad grammar. Hell, post a review in your native language and I can Google Translate it! You're welcome, I will always be here to please!

dbzgtfan2004: Thank you! I will continue this for as long as I feel is neccesary, which may be forever because I love writing. NARUSAKU FOREVER!

XT3100: Yeah? That's great! I really hope you continue to find this believable and continue to read in the future!

hikaru ara: Thank you! The jutsu, the Flying Raijin jutsu is a jutsu that allows the user to teleport to specific spots marked with the seal. The Yondaime Hokage, Naruto's father, had it perfected and could place the seals on people instantly without their knowledge just from touching them. The user can teleport to wherever that spot is granted they have the chakra, and Naruto has such a big pool of it. Their relationship is in character? I thought I was going to go way OOC and have to work on it for hours at a time to fix it. Thanks, I love writing it. The romance will hopefully be building up in this and the next chapter.

Mathiasosx: I enjoy myself some NaruSaku fluff as well. Please, continue to sit back, relax, and above all enjoy the stuff that these two will get into. Thank you for your kind words and please continue to review.

Tristan S11: I don't think you deserve a reply, my neck still hurts you little bastard. (Yes, he actually karate chopped my neck. And it hurt.)

Thanks! Continue to review and enjoy this story as it progresses! See you next AN!

Naruto and Sakura sooned finished their meal, after picking out the pieces of Sakura's roofing, and Naruto was still complaining about his chin and the top of his head. Sakura would just chuckle at him, telling him that she would never be sorry because he deserved it after sneaking up on her like that. He would just shrug, claiming that maybe the pain was worth it, but not quite sure. Again Sakura just chuckled at him, picking up her plate and his before putting them in the sink. Naruto came up next to her and proceeded to start washing them, catching Sakura by surprise. Naruto was not a cleaner, so what was he thinking. He seemed to notice her sceptecism and shrugged his shoulders.

"What? Is me cleaning something really that big of a surprise?!" He exclaimed looking at her bewildered. She looked at him through squinted eyes, as if she were contimplating something heavily. She pursed her lips and rubbed her chin as if she had suddenly grown a goatee. Before he had a chance to question her any farther she suddenly grabbed a butterknife off of the nearby counter, holding it out in front her as if it were a weapon.

"Who are you and what have you done with Naruto!" Sakura exclaimed jokingly, a silly look on her face showing it was a ploy. Naruto looked at her shocked, before looking to both his left and to his right, before looking at her smiling.

"So you've caught me!?" He exclaimed, "You really are a perceptive one! Let's end this." He finished, before grabbing a soup spoon off of the counter as well. Naruto proceeded to attack her with the spoon, but Sakura parried his blows with her butter-kunai and fought back valiantly. With a good hit, Naruto knocked the butter-kunai out of her hand, but Sakura smacked the spoon out of his. He looked at her seriously, before shouting. "Oh! It's a tickle fight you're looking for?!"

Sakura's eyes widened and she turned to run, but she couldn't get away from him in time. His hands clasped onto her hips, pulling her toward him. She squealed in surprise to Naruto's pulling and spinning of her. Sakura suddenly felt something solid come into contact with her head and realized that he'd pulled her to him completely. They both stood still there, neither moving, every part of thier bodies pressed tightly together. Naruto moved his hands, slowly upward, but Sakura had forgotten why she was running. She could hear his heartbeat, fast but steady. She all-too suddenly remembered why she had been running. Naruto's hand moved up slowly from her hips to her sides, where he proceeded to tickle. Sakura was laughing, her body thrashing around in an attempt to get away from the powerful blond next to her.

Twisting and turning, trying to get out of his grip, Sakura felt her knees buckle. She fell, and he went down with her, tickling her all the while. Soon, they were both on the ground, Sakura thrashing about underneath Naruto who continued his onslaught on her sides. Soon she felt lightheaded, the laughing was turning into gasps, yet he never ceased. Once the happy look left her face, he stopped tickling her. Naruto was still almost laying on her, looking down on her with a smile on his face as she gasped. Sakura felt the oxygen returning to her head, but still felt a bit dizzy. She looked at Naruto with anger etched into her features as she continued to pant deeply.

"Tha- That wasn't fu- Funny Naruto." She gasped out, swallowing deeply. He smiled at her, before leaning forward and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead in apology. She put her hands on his chest, and he placed his face in the nook of her neck, his forehead resting against the floor. Sakura took another deep breath, inhaling his scent, and released it shakily. Sakura looked at the position they were in, and almost laughed out loud. He was straddling her now, well, mostly. His knees were on the ground on either side of her hips, hovering just above her, his hands just above the ticklish parts of her sides and his elbows lay flat against the ground.

Naruto soon came out of his haze, rolling over to lay on his side, smiling happily at her. Sakura looked over at him, a smile spread across her lips as well. She was about to lean over to him to place her lips against his when suddenly she heard a voice.

"Naruto-sama, Tsunade-sama has asked you to come to her office in the Hokage tower." The ANBU said, looking down through the hole in the ceiling. Naruto groaned before looking up at the ANBU, who's mask looked like a blue and black fox. Naruto just motioned for the ANBU to leave.

"Tell Baa-chan that Sakura-chan and I'll be there in a few minutes," Naruto replied, looking back at Sakura. The ANBU's reply less than pleased the blond.

"Actually, Hokage-sama has asked for you to come alone, even Sakura-san." Naruto groaned before looking at the ANBU.

"I'm there." Naruto replied. He looked at Sakura for a moment, before leaning forward and placing a gentle kiss on her lips. Then he was gone.

Sakura had gone to the hospital today, just to check up on things, see how everyone was doing without their second head medic. Things hadn't been going well at all, and Sakura lost her last day of vacation to work, which she was alright with since Naruto had been called off to Tsunade anyways. That had been at about 11:30a.m. and she had checked the hospital at noon. Sakura was in her office, signing paper after paper, her hand starting to cramp up after each swing of her wrist. She sighed, setting yet another paper into the stack of finished reports. Sakura looked over at the clock on the wall, almost eleven at night. Great, she thought to herself as she signed yet another paper.

Sakura looked up at the time again, nearly one in the morning. She groaned in annoyance, How did the time pass so quickly?! She thought to herself. She stood and restacked the paperwork in neat piles, having had them in disarray as she had been signing and reading them. She set her medical jacket on the hook behind the door. Her thoughts went to those of going home, taking a shower, and going to sleep. As she opened the door and walked out hurriedly, she ran into the other thing on her mind. A certain blond haired teammate. Naruto chuckled softly as he set his hands on her hips. Sakura didn't step away from him or acknowledge that she had run into him, she just stood there with her head resting on his chest. She slowly looked up at him, to see a very tired looking blond man looking down at her with a dreary smile on his face. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and stood on her toes to kiss him softly, before resting her head against his chest again.

"You're place or mine?" He asked quietly. Sakura just shook her head softly before responding.

"Whichever we can get to faster." She said just as softly, Naruto chuckled and pulled her closer to him. Suddenly they were standing in his apartment, his hand resting on one of his fathers specialized kunai that were on the table.

"Here we are." He said softly to her. She smiled and looked up at him, blushing softly at the question she was about to ask.

"N- Naruto, can I use your shower?" She swallowed heavily. Naruto looked at her, and his smile lit up a bit.

"Sure, Sakura-chan, let me just get you a towel." He replied, walking over to a nearby cabinet and pulling a rather large towel out of it. "Here, Sakura-chan."

Sakura took the towel, thanking him quietly before making her way towards the bathroom. She stopped just before the door, looking back at Naruto.

"I- I need so- something to change into afterwards." She stuttered nervously. Naruto scratched his head and squinted his eyes as he thought, before nodding and going into his bedroom to grab some clothing for her. He came back out a moment later with a pair of small black shorts and a large orange t-shirt.

"It's not much, but it should be comfortable enough." He said, hiding the nervousness from his voice. The shorts were from when he was a bit younger, and were comfortable enough, the shirt was for him now and was made of a very soft material. "Sorry if you don't like it but, I don't have much else clean at the moment." She shook her head.

"It's alright Naruto. These'll do fine." She replied, before entering the bathroom and closing the door behind her. She got out of her particularly sweaty clothes and showered herself, complaining under her breath about the terrible water pressure, that when he made his apartment he should've gotten better water pressure, but other then that it was okay. When Sakura finished showering she got out and dryed herself off. Due to her not bringing any others, she would just have to reuse her underwear. The shorts fit snug, almost to snug. They went to about mid-thigh and were real tight, That pervert, she thought to herself, but she didn't really mind. The shirt however was very big and almost threatened to fall off of her shoulders. The bottom hem of the shirt ran to almost her knees, so her bottom half was covered well enough, though if anyone didn't know about the shorts underneath, they wouldn't know there was any.

Naruto was laying on his back on his bed, looking up at the ceiling when he heard his bathroom door open, followed by his bedroom door. He looked over at the door and his eyes widened. Perhaps he should've given her a bit more clothing, but that really was all he had clean. He swallowed deeply, blushing slightly at what Sakura was wearing. She shook her head and closed her eyes.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you'd planned for me to wear so little." She told him in an accusatory tone. His mouth parted to say something, but his brain couldn't come up with the words. Sakura just huffed at him and smiled softly. She looked back at him, he was still wearing his clothes from their date, but now it was all a bit disheveled. She pursed her lips, "Aren't you going to change? You've been wearing that outfit since our date."

He chuckled and nodded, motioning for her to get out and close the door. She did, and waited just outside of it. Inside, she could hear him ruffling through his drawers, trying to find clothes. After a while she heard him slipping out of his other clothes and into new ones. Waiting a bit longer she heard him exclaim in frustration, which confused her a bit. She leaned against the door to hear better as she asked, "Naruto? Are you okay in there?"

"Yeah Sakura-chan, I just am, having little difficulty finding a shirt, is all." He replied over the sound of drawers opening and closing.

"Are you decent?" She asked, getting ready to open the door.

[Partial Lemon Starts Here]

"Yeah, I'm just not wearing a shirt, which is decent enough I suppose." Came his reply. Sakura opened the door, and when her eyes fell on him shirtless she swallowed quickly. Naruto was throwing clothes out of his dressers, his taut shoulders tensing and releasing with every throw. He was leaning over one of his drawers, his muscular abdominals tensing, creating an amazing six pack. His biceps and triceps tensing as he used his arms to look through the dresser. His sides twisting and turning as he turned to throw clothes onto the bed. Sakura continued to stare at him, her mouth slightly agape and her heartbeat raised an incredible ammount.

Naruto noticed her staring out of the corner of his eye, but didn't make any move to stop her or acknowledge that she was. Maybe I'll have to be shirtless more often, he thought to himself as he continued his search. Pretty soon he got fed up with trying to find a shirt, and slammed his drawer shut in frustration. He sat down on the edge of his bed, looking at the floor. He opened his eyes when he felt Sakura sit down on the bed next to him. He felt her hand grab ahold of his chin and turn him to face her, when he was facing her she placed her lips on his, kissing him deeply.

Naruto grabbed her hips, pulling her toward him. She climbed onto his lap, and he layed on the bed, their lips stayed locked throughout the movement. Sakura ran her hands from his neck into his soft blond spikes, deepening the kiss more. Naruto moved his hands from her hips up and around to her back, where he massaged her back through her borrowed shirt. They continued to kiss, their tongues continuing to dance intimately.

Sakura pulled away first, not for need of air, but to move her lips down his jaw to his neck, kissing all the way. She kissed and nibbled at his neck, causing him to hiss. She continued to kiss her way down to his shoulders. She continued to run her lips across his chest, continuing on a trip downward. She ran her tongue across his abs, kissing them occasionally. Her downward travels were suddenly stopped by his pajama pants, which she could feel were too restricting for him. She put her hand on the hem of the pants before being stopped by Naruto's larger hands.

"S- Sakura-chan." he whispered out. "Y- you haven't been drinking have you?" he asked seriously, a worried look on his face. She smiled at him, before shaking her head and grabbing the hem of his pants again only to be stopped by his hands again. Sakura looked up to see him smiling at her, "Well than it's not fair that I've been the only one recieving." He stated, and before she knew it she was thrown onto the bed with him on top of her. He kissed her lips again, trailing his lips down her like she had done to him just seconds ago.

His trip was stopped sooner than hers had been, because he ran into the hem of her borrowed orange shirt. He looked up at her, silently asking her if he should continue. Sakura looked at him, smiling softly and nodding her head gently. Naruto put his hands on the bottom hem of the shirt and started pulling it upward. Sakura lifted herself off of the bed to help it progress and lifted her arms above her head so it could be removed. To say Naruto's mind was racing would be an understatement, Naruto's mind was hyper-jumping through time and space. He used to dream about going this far with Sakura, but knew or thought he knew it would never happen, but this was where he was proven wrong.

Sakura was nervous, she had never done anything like this before. She was having second thoughts about the whole ordeal. Once the shirt was gone she blushed, knowing that she wasn't sufficiant for his needs. She wasn't all too attractive, she wasn't big breasted, she wasn't curvy in all the right places. But Naruto didn't care about these things, he was in love with her for who she was. Naruto looked at her in her green and purple bra and panties underwear. He smiled, She's perfect, he thought to himself. He continued to kiss down her shoulder, reaching the hem of her bra, but he wasn't going to ask her to remove it. If she wanted it removed then she would remove it herself. He kissed around the hem of it, following the outline of her breasts. She gasped under him, causing him to smile, as he kissed her stomach. Naruto's attention was brought back up as Sakura arched herself off of the bed and reached behind her, unclasping her bra before she pulled it off and tossed it to the side. Naruto smiled up at her before he started kissing the under-side of her breasts, moving the the ridge in-between them. To the outer edges of them, and to the top. He worked his way down toward her nipples, which were now hardened, and took one into his mouth. Sakura gasped and arched her back, moaning quietly. He suckled and nibbled on her right nipple, causing her to moan his name occasionally or just moan in general. He moved his attention to her left nipple, getting the same reaction.

After a while, Naruto continued his trail down, getting to the top hem of her panties. He grabbed the hem, but was suddenly stopped by Sakura's hands. Naruto looked up to her, expecting a similar thing from her as he'd done to her, but found something unexpected. Sakura was looking at him, tears streaming down her face, and a sad frown on her lips.

"Na- Naruto, I'm not r- ready... To go, all the way like this." She whispered softly, expecting him to frown at her. But his smile just softened to one of care and concern as he moved up toward her, kissing her forehead softly and slipping his shirt back over her head.

[Partial Lemon Ends]

"And I wouldn't force you." He whispered to her, wrapping his arms around her and laying down on the bed. She layed down next to him and faced him, tears still running down her face.

"I'm sorry." Sakura's voice was laced with pure sadness. Naruto smiled at her, before pulling he closer to him.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, Sakura-chan." He whispered to her, kissing the tip of her nose gently. "You didn't do anything wrong, don't worry."

"Yo- you must be upset that you can't h-" She started but was interupted by Naruto in a steady voice.

"What, that I can't have you now? Well, I may have dreamed about what would have happened for as long as I can remember and have waited for the day. What's a bit more waiting? I don't care if it takes years Sakura-chan. I wouldn't do that to you if you weren't ready." Naruto whispered into her ear before kissing her lips softly and closing his eyes. "It's time to get some sleep anyways."

She smiled at him, nodding softly before closing her eyes as well.
