Chapter Four
Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno talked and drank until about 12:00 a.m. They polished off probably three bottles of sake each and between the drinks they would tell each other of how their life sucked and felt like nothing good will happen to them. Well it wasn't really both of them, between the drunken sobs and moans of Sakura and listening to her whine he hadn't gotten a word in. But towards the end of the 'discussion' Naruto had told Sakura that she was lucky, at least she had a few friends while she was a kid and she's even more popular with the males around Konoha the passed few years.
Sakura couldn't say anything to Naruto except she was sorry for the way she treated him, but he brushed it aside thinking that it was probably the sake talking. Naruto knew that it wasn't his fault people treated him this way and he didn't really care.
The blond took his bottle and raised it. "To happiness." He said sarcastically and placed the bottle to his lips, Sakura shortly after did the same. Naruto could handle a nice bit of sake if he took it slowly like he did tonight, but Sakura on the other hand couldn't drink two bottle in an hour without getting drunk.
"Sakura-chan, I think we should be heading out now. You definitely had enough to drink, let me walk you home." He said as he stood up and took a step to be at her side. Naruto held his arm out and waited her capturing off it.
"Noo!" She exclaimed. "I don't wanna to go home yet!" She was definitely drunk. Sakura rarely used a word like 'wanna'; it was only in her drunken vocabulary. Sakura batted his hand away and let her head drop to the surface of the table, planting her forehead on it.
"Please Sakura-chan. I don't want to leave you here by yourself, you don't know what pervert could be lurking around. Just waiting to get his hands on a beautiful young drunk woman like yourself." 'Jiraiya, I'm glad I've got to know people like you. I can warn girls about you then.' Naruto stated unknown to him that he just called his old crush, Sakura, beautiful. Which didn't unnoticed by Sakura.
----Elsewhere----
Jiraiya sneezed loudly and smiled perversely. "Ahhh some beautiful woman must be thinking of how good I courted her! Hehehehe. Women can't resist me!" Jiraiya jumped up and posed in the sudden excitement of thinking women couldn't resist him. Shrilled screams and the sound of splashing could be heard as a large group of women in towels ran off. "No! No! Wwwaaaaiiiittt!"
Back to the Bar
Sakura looked up at him with a drunken blush. "Do you really mean that Naruto-kuuun?" She would ask looking up at him batting her eyelashes. 'Oh Christ… She's completely plastered. I can't leave her here and I can't bring her to my apartment because people will think something happened and I don't want to ruin her good reputation. I guess I'll just say I'll come with her to her house and stay there until she falls asleep then leave.' Naruto told himself. 'It shouldn't take too long for her to fall asleep seeing how drunk she is.'
Naruto placed his hand on the back of his head and scratched his long blonde locks. "Um… Yea sure, I meant what ever I said Sakura-chan. How about we go back to your apartment?" He blushed at the notion of Sakura and himself in her apartment alone, but of course nothing would happen if Sakura never came on to him. Naruto had a slight buzz and if he could keep his mind out of the gutter he'll be perfectly fine. Naruto might have been feeling it but because his body was larger, the blonde wasn't near as drunk as the smaller Sakura.
Sakura jumped to her feet and wrapped her arms loosely and drunkenly around Naruto's neck. "Thank you Naruto-kuun!" Her words were rather slow and dragged out, especially the kun part.
Naruto's cheeks grew a nice shade of red as her arms were wrapped around his neck. He slipped his right arm around her mid back and then bending his legs, Naruto had his other arm under Sakura's knees in the bridal position as he stood back up. "Now we'll get going." His baby blues closed as he smiled while looking down towards her vibrant emerald eyes. Lifting his head slowly, eyes opening along with it, and looked towards the door. Naruto's strong legs carried both of them out of the bar and into the street with pure ease.
"Naruto-kun…" Sakura said as she looked down, not letting him see her face for some reason. She slowly turned her head upwards to look at him.
"Yes Sakura-chan?" The blonde shinobi asked in response to her question. Naruto could see her face was turned a slight green colour and he knew what was coming.
"I… I'm going to pu…" She was interrupted by an urge. It wasn't a normal feeling; it was more of a rushing as the sphincter muscles in her throat reversed causing most of the food in her stomach to spew from her mouth in all it's glory. It was mostly liquid, but small chunks of something or another came out… all over Naruto's white wife beater.
"Oh man… Why does this kind of thing always happen to me?" Naruto asked himself. "I guess I'll have to head home and get a change of clothes. It should only take a moment."
"Nooo, Naruto-kuun. I got a shirt you could wear at my place… I think." Sakura stated looking up into his blue shining orbs, noting to her drunken self of how they even shimmered in the darkness of the streets.
"I mean it, it would only take a split second. I've been practicing a new jutsu; a technique only the Fourth Hokage new but I have made my own variations in it. I call it Kousoku no Jutsu. Though it doesn't actually bring you to the speed of light, it can bring me anywhere in Konoha in a matter of seconds. It's better then the body flicker." The blonde bragged proudly with a large toothy grin upon his face while letting Sakura down to stand on her two wobbly legs. Naruto then began to wipe the chunks from his shirt, knowing full well that the stain was never going to come out. "All it does is focus a great amount of chakra around your body and it travels through the air to the location you want and then release the chakra and you'll be there in an instant."
"Hurry up Naruto-kuuuun! I think I'm going to puke aga…" Before the pink haired kunoichi could finish her sentence Naruto preformed a set of hand seals at such a speed not even the Copy-Nin Kakashi would have trouble being able to copy it. "…in. How did we get to my apartment Naruto-kuuun?" Sakura asked with furrowed eyebrows and a puzzled look.
"Don't worry now let's get you inside and cleaned up then ready for bed." Naruto said as he twisted the knob of the door, surprised that it actually opened. 'I wonder why she never locked it... Oh well I should just be glad.' The blue-eyed male thought to himself as he picked her up once again, then turning side on he walked through the door with his long time crush in his arms.
"Okay Naruto, but I'm starting to feel…" The pink haired kunoichi yawned loudly, not even bothering to cover her mouth. The alcohol obviously still controlling her physically. "…Sleepy."
Her apartment was a complete and total mess! It was actually frightening for Naruto to see an apartment that was messier then his. Clothes threw all over the place; he noted a sexy blue lacy thong hanging from her chandelier in the living room. The blue carpet of her living room looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in months. "Sakura-chan… You should clean up a bit more… Sakura-chan?" His eyes would slowly scroll down to the female in his arms. She had passed out in his arms. "Since she's passed out I guess I should tidy up her apartment slightly." Naruto then laid Sakura on a clear spot on her couch, and then summoned 10 Kage Bunshins. "Alright guys. Now we've got to clean up, but remember be very quiet. We don't need anyone waking up Sakura-chan and getting her super-strength fist in our mouths." At that thought each of the Narutos simultaneously flinched and closed their eyes tightly before getting at their work.
----- 30 Minutes Later -----
The ten Kage Bunshins disappeared with out a sound, into little silent puffs of smoke. "Wow…that was incredibly hard. I'm so tired. I didn't realize how large Sakura-chan's wardrobe really was." Naruto would yawn loudly plopping down on the red love seat across from the couch where Sakura was still laying in the same position he left her, snoring gently. "I guess I need to get her ready for bed too."
Naruto picked her up with ease; Sakura must have been passed out like a log because she hadn't even stirred once since he laid her there. Entering her room, which one of his Kage Bunshins tidied up, the blonde shinobi was in shock… EVERYTHING WAS PINK! He must have missed that memory of the Kage Bunshin that did her room because Naruto was in total shock, his eyes bulging out and his jaw touching the floor kind of look. " My Christ Sakura-chan… do you still think you're a kid or what? Shesh, well I guess it's a nice look and it does match her hair wonderfully."
Shaking his head to get rid of the dumbfounded look upon his mug, Naruto walked over to the edge of her bed and laid Sakura down on her back. His azure colour orbs would stare down at her, a glint of happiness shone through his pain-ridden eyes. 'She looks so cute when she's asleep.' Naruto though as he gently brushed the pink locks that were over her forehead back, revealing what most other people thought was huge. Naruto whispered to the unconscious Sakura. "Don't listen to all those jerks Sakura-chan, you don't have a big forehead. It's perfect."
Naruto then stretched his strong arms above his head, locking his finders together as well and yawned. "Looks like I should hit the sack soon. I better get home. I'll see you tomorrow Sakura-chan." Naruto bent down and brushed his lips against her forehead, instantly he felt something wrap around his waist. Sakura had wrapped her arms around his waist in a death grip.
"No! Don't leave me… Please." Sakura spoke rather clearly, making Naruto think she was awake.
"Sakura-chan, I have to go… Sakura-chan?" Naruto looked down towards the female with her arms around his waist. "My God, she's just having a dream. And here I thought she wanted me to stay."
"Please stay, I don't want you to go." The grip she had around his waist was growing tighter and Sakura turn over, flipping Naruto onto the bed with her. "Sasuke, don't leave me!"
Naruto's heart sank through the floor, the slight shimmer of happiness in his eyes was totally destroyed. But there was a shimmer in Naruto's eyes; the tears that started to built up. The blonde refused to let them flow, he made a promise to himself he would never shed another tear because of that bastard… But this situation was forcing him to his limits. 'How could she still like him more then me? I've been here for her through everything. When Sasuke first abandoned the village. When Shino was killed by Sasuke's protector ninjas after Sasuke had done what ever the hell he did to Orochimaru. I was by her side for all of the shit that hurt her and she still likes him more then me… Maybe I should defect from here and see if she'll like me then. I'll head to Suna to see Gaara-kun, at least he knows what it's like to live like this.'
'Shut up kit, you're giving me a headache. Just strip her to the nude and mate with her, you both obviously need it.' The Demon fox from with in him stated. Naruto knew he was right; he really needed to relief the stress. But he could never do it to an unconscious Sakura who was still obviously in love with Sasuke. He wouldn't do it to any unconscious girl!
'Damn it, I'm not going to do that. It's Sakura-chan not some other girl… I wouldn't even do that to any other girl! And if you try anything I'll kill myself. That's a promise.'
'Fine. You know how to ruin a demon's fun you prick. Remember Temari and her brothers are coming here for a visit tomorrow, I'll get you back then. So you're not going to have to go there anyway.'
'When the hell did someone tell me that? I'm absolutely sure I would remember something like that. Something about Temari-chan and Gaara-kun I would remember without a doubt.' Naruto told the Kyuubi no Yoko.
'Yea you're right. I read it off the lady with the large chest's mind.' The Kyuubi responded, 'She wanted it to be a surprised because she knows how much you like that Temari girl.'
Sakura shifted and slid her right leg between Naruto's legs. Naruto's heart nearly stopped as he felt her upper thigh press against his crotch. He's longed for her touch like this before, but not when she's unconscious! Naruto placed his hands on her shoulders and gave her a slightly hard shake. "Sakura-chan wake up, let me go please I have to get going."
Sakura's upper thigh pressed against his crotch harder, but then slid from between his legs. Sakura pulled herself up his body slightly and rested her head on his chest. "Stay Naruto-kun, please." Her words were groggy, but her emerald tinted orbs were open staring into his bright blue ones. Sakura nuzzled her cheek into his chest softly. "Thank you for being here for me Naruto-kun. You're the best."
Naruto's eyes began to fill with tears once again, but this time it was out of pure joy. At long last the girl he had a crush on for was long as he could remember was finally acknowledging him, though it was in a sleep rant type of way she was still acknowledging him. "Sa-Sakura-chan. Okay, I'll stay."
Naruto placed his hand on the back of her head and gently played with her hair. His blue orbs stared down upon the pink haired kunoichi, after a minute he realized that she was fast asleep. "Yea I guess I better go to sleep too huh Sakura-chan. Thank you for letting me stay at your place." The blonde shinobi knew that the female next to him was asleep, but he felt the need to thank her anyway. 'I wonder how she'll react in the morning finding me in the same bed with her…'
---- Otogakure ----
Crimson blanketed the grass and flowers in the darkness. The blood reflected the light of the great large moon hovering in the sky. Countless bodies were scattered throughout the large field, each one lifeless. A dark figure's foot splashed in a puddle of the fresh crimson liquid, along with another male behind him. The one behind spoke first, "Sasuke-sama you're finished holding back from killing your enemies?"
"Well Kabuto-kun, to get what I want I need to put fear into others. I need to kill to put fear into Naruto. I know he's killed; he's killed hundreds of people throughout the years including the man I needed to kill. It's about time I catch up to damn idiot." Sasuke explained as he placed his hands on his hips.
"Speaking of Naruto-kun, our spies radioed in that he was seen carrying Sakura-chan into her house bridal style." Kabuto stated trying to find some ire in the usually stoic Uchiha. "I know that you must have felt something towards the girl."
Sasuke clenched his fists together, and then slowly released them. "That was a long time ago Kabuto. Once I kill Naruto my life as a Shinobi will be finished and I can start to revive the Uchiha clan."
"But Sasuke-sama, what about Takai? He is your son and has the blood of an Uchiha, is that not your start of a new clan?" Kabuto asked, the silver-haired man looked severally confused.
"No Kabuto. He is like the others, a test. It's just a little experiment to see how my genes are passed on." Sasuke answered coldly, no remorse in his voice what so ever.
