Now, read on!

"Happy Birthday Sakura," Ino grinned, raising her little sake cup.

"Thank you," Sakura beamed, accepting the toast from her best friend. Naruto had transported them back to her apartment where they lay for a while more before getting cleaned up and dressed for the drinks. Now, the whole Konoha 12 sat in the Drunken Fist, celebrating and cheering. Naruto was goofing off with Kiba, trying to spike Lee's drink with alcohol, but eventually getting foiled by Neji, curse his byakugan. Sakura looked around and smiled. Being in a hidden shinobi village was dangerous for sure. The constant threat of an attack, no matter how small, was always existent, ninja family members could be married one day and gone the next, vital information could be reveal after centuries of secrecy, endangering the whole world, but that was the life of a shinobi.

This particular group had stuck together through thick and thin, gone through a war together, faced a betrayal from one of the most powerful of their group, but they stuck together. That was probably the reason that their bonds were forged over and over again, and stronger than any normal friendship.

"Okay," Ino placed her cup down. "Spill."

Sakura looked at her best friend, confused.

"You're much happier than usual," Ino described. "You haven't been this happy since you lost your virginity to Naruto."

At that thought, a light pink tainted her cheeks. Shyly, she raised her left hand and casually rubbed her cheek, waiting for Ino to get the hint. It was not long before the blonde's eyes widened.

"He proposed!" She practically screamed out. Sakura nodded enthusiastically.

"What?!" came a shout from Kiba. "And he didn't tell me?"

"I always knew you were fated to be together."

"The both of you will bring out the youthfulness in Konoha!"

I'm very sure that you have identified who said that, as well as other exclamations of congratulations, but the importance here is that Naruto and Sakura were now the first couple from the group to get engaged. The extra sparkle in Sakura's emerald eyes and the bigger smile on Naruto's face were evident to all. The bartender announced that all drinks were on the house that night, and they drank to their hearts content, singing, dancing, talking, and anything friends who are drunk and happy do.

…

Later, in the middle of the night, two bodies, tightly intertwined, crashed through the door, oblivious to their surroundings and highly intent on reaching their destination - bedroom. The male kicked the door shut and clumsily locked it, then hugged her closer and kissed her harder. They blindly stumbled their way through the hallway and let go only for the man to throw off his blazer. Finally reaching the place they needed to be, she roughly pushed him onto the bed, slowly crawling her way up to him and kissing him on the lips while her hands fiddled with his tie, eventually successfully removing it from his body. His hands rested on her hips and pulled her closer while her arms wrapped around his head, her fingers pulling at his hair while they kissed all the harder.

"Happy birthday, Sakura-chan," the blonde grinned, panting for breath when they broke off for a while.

"Thank you, Naruto," she gasped, then smiled at him devilishly as she gently stroked his whiskers. "I've been looking forward to tonight."

"Like I said," he replied coolly. "Tonight, I'll make your fantasy come true."

She kissed him on the cheek, looked at him, and then kissed him on the lips. In the heat of their activities, she pressed his hands against the metal frame of their bed post. Naruto didn't mind though, too busy paying attention to her mouth than his arms.

"And you always keep your promise," she breathed. "Right?"

At that very moment, he realised that his hands were tied to the bed post with the helpful aid of…his tie. He looked at his fiancé and found her smirking.

"Shit," was the first thought that came into his mind. "Yes." He grumbled through gritted teeth. She placed a hand on his stomach, feeling that hard muscles shiver under her ever so gentle touch. These muscles were forged through time, perseverance and massive practice, often leading to his sweat and blood, just like their relationship.

He longed for her to move her hands more, but she refused, staying low. He growled, but she paid no attention, or rather, she didn't look at him, but reacted by drawing back and standing in front of him. Now might be a good time to describe her attire. She was clad in a long sleeved white shirt that was buttoned up to the third top button with the sleeves unbuttoned and partially folded. She wore a denim mini-skirt that had the bottom, which reached her mid-thigh, frayed and slightly torn.

Slowly, she lifted her hands to her first button and undid it, reaching to the second and doing likewise. When she finished, she looked up and found Naruto straining against the tie. Ordinarily, he could have broken it long ago, but the tie was laced with Sakura's chakra, which happened to be the only thing that Naruto couldn't break. Discarding her mini skirt, she placed her fingers on her nether regions and slowly started to rub. The warmth that she loved so much, created by her fingers, slowly moved up her nether regions and spread. She moaned out just as her juices started to damp her undergarment, and threw her head back in another cry of happiness when she pushed it aside and slipped her finger in.

Out of the corner of her eye she spotted a very tense Naruto. His arms were straining against the tie and his teeth were gritted in frustration. Seeing his fiancé's face contorted in pleasure that was not his doings both aroused him and provoked him to no end. Smirking with her small victory, she crawled her way to him, looking into his deep blue eyes that were practically begging her to release him, so she decided, she would.

Her hands travelled to his belt and skilfully removed it. Placing her hand on his groin, she started to rub, enjoying the feeling of his already hard member hardening even more against her touch. Her smirk widened into a smile when her ears caught the sound of a growl emanating from his throat. Deciding allow him the slightest freedom, she unbuttoned his pants and pulled it down just a little, followed by his boxers, allowing his think length the reveal itself.

"Oh look," she whispered, holding the familiar body part in her hand. "There's a candle on my cake." She leaned down and placed a kiss on the tip, licking her lips that were coated in his pre-cum. "And the wax is flowing down." Starting from the base, she slowly licked it, eliciting a growl and groan from the captive. "I'd better start singing my birthday song, then."

"Happy Birthday to me," she continued to lick from the bottom to the top, going at an excruciatingly slow pace, enjoying the fact that this was completely against Naruto's nature: he was a male, a fox, and he was dominant; but not here.

"Happy Birthday to me," he was aggravated because he could control neither how fast she went, nor how far she went, and she savoured that. Placing her lips on his tip once more, she gradually took it in, enjoying the feeling of his member twitching for her to go quicker. Once she reached her limit, she slowly pulled up, and took him in once again.

"Happy Birthday to Sakura," Naruto was feeling both pleasure and pain. Bringing someone into a world of happiness yet at such a slow pace was deleterious to the mind. But he was saved when she slowly picked up her speed, but that did not change the fact that it was slow. Sakura gave the best blowjobs. He never had any from anyone else, but he was sure he was right. Her lips created a soft cushion that he loved, and her tongue continued to wrap around his manhood, twirling it while inside her mouth. When she bobbed her head up and down, he could feel the vibrations of her hums and moans, bringing him closer to release. However, right before he reached his peak, she pulled off, preventing him from his release. She looked at him and smiled. "Happy Birthday to me."

The sight was gloriously erotic. A thin line of drool slipped out from the corner of her lips, and as enticing as that view was, it was amplified by the fact that she was, still, wearing her unbuttoned shirt that continuously teased him with little peaks, here and there, of her beautiful assets.

Sakura, however, was smiling at Naruto like a vixen at her mate, because she absolutely loved what she saw. The hyperactive ninja was now a dishevelled man with his jeans pulled to his knees (which allowed his pride to stand at attention not so humbly), his shirt ripped open to reveal his flawless build and his arms tied to the bedpost by his very own tie. This was a victory in and of itself.

Placing her small hands on his shoulders, she knelt in front of him, and slowly lowered herself down. The sensation of him slowly entering her flooded her senses and drove her insane. However, what he felt was the agony of partial pain and partial pleasure. His thoughts ran along the line of, "hurry the fuck up, Sakura!" But he dared not voice it out, lest she slow down even more. He sighed in relief when she finally sat on his lap, his erection completely inside her. However, his victory was cut short when she started to raise her hips.

Eventually, she brought them down again, and up, and you know the sequence. Soon, Naruto was bucking his hips against Sakura with the force that could be compared to a bull, while Sakura leaned against his shoulders, crying out in ecstasy and enjoying the ride. Her beautiful mounds bounced around in synchronisation to their movements. He thanked whatever higher power he knew of when her hands, despite their state of euphoria, moved to his, and slowly untied the tie, all the while, their pace not slowing in the slightest.

Finally, his hands were free, finally he could retain control, and finally he could have fun. Placing his now liberated hands on her hips, he pulled her down and slammed his hips upwards, sending an electric spark right through her body. She cried out in agreement and he continued his work. Beat after beat, he pounded up and pulled her down, and she cried out with joy. The sounds of their splashing privates, added to their cries, grunts and groans of pleasure were all they could hear. Their glowing bodies and erotic expressions were all they could see, and that was the limit of their senses.

A fire built up from within them that they were all too familiar with. Leaning forward, Naruto grabbed Sakura and flipped them so he was on top. Bending down and placing a hasty kiss on her lips, he continued his locomotion, ripping a muffled scream from her. Her fingers clawed at his back and he bit her on her neck. And once they hit their climax, they cried out in pleasure and happiness, love and passion, excitement and fire.

He slowly laid himself on top of her, and they just stayed there, resting and calming down from their high. After a while, their breathing slowed down and they regained their rationale, though not their energy, but Naruto managed to grab the sheets and covered their cooling bodies. Gradually, they moved around in a fashion that resulted in him being at the bottom, and he instinctively wrapped his arm around her back.

He softly stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead, watching fondly as she snuggled deeper into his embrace and listened to her breathing as it slowed. He allowed her to slip into slumber and then headed that way himself. They stayed that way the whole night through, smiling in their sleep, locked in each other's embrace, because throughout the life ahead of them, no matter how many fights they would have, how many tears would be shed, how much pain they would share, they would love each other, and they would never be happier.

A/N: So, this was the first ending to the original story, but good news! Another chapter is coming soon! I'm pretty proud of it, though I have many people to thank for giving me the help and ideas, but I'll mention them next chapter. Until then, please review this chapter, you know how happy I get when I see the reviews^^

Sincerely,

Shuzen-sama
