Chapter 4
"Where did she go…?" Naruto asked himself, puzzled deeply. He stands up, dusting himself while looking everywhere for that tiny little fairy-like girl. It's almost like a desperate attempt to prove he's not going crazy. He puts his hand on his head, folding his hair backwards before a familiar, but unwelcome figure arrives.
"Hello again sweetheart!" said Sakura, a hint of craziness in her eyes as she grabs Naruto's arms and drags him along with her. Naruto, in a daze, tries to keep his head together, "Uhm, where are you taking me?"
"We're heading to the entrance ceremony together silly…so the others will know that you're my property." Sakura answered, looking around as well, "Others?" Naruto forces his arm away from her solid-like grip, "What other people are involved in this…"
"Baby…" Sakura looks at him, pouting like a little child. She tries to reach for his hand, but Naruto yanks it away from her, "…And I'm sure as hell not anyone's property."
Sakura sighs as Naruto turns his head away from her, "I-I-I know being a private student of Jiraiya is…is…crazy and as much as I want to help you. I can't. I'm not Jiraiya…I'm Naruto." Naruto's head droops down until he's looking straight at the concrete floor, "I'm not some type of prodigy. I-I'm not the legendary student who's come to save every girl from their personal desire…I'm just Naruto.
"But you could be so much more…" Sakura whispers, trying to hide her embarrassment, it's not normal for her to be embarrassed, but she is. She doesn't even know why she said that, but it's true, the potential of being student, no, the potential of being known as a student. She could bring him to the very top, the pinnacle of student worship.
"I don't want to be more…I just want to be Naruto."
There's a brief silence between the both of them until Sakura finally puts her hands to her hips, "You're obviously delusional, and it's been a long trip. I know exactly what you need."
"And what's that?" Naruto spreads his hands, open to anything, even if it's from this crazy girl, he's open to it, "What do you think I need Sakura?"
In such a quick and slick move, Sakura reaches for her pocket and brings out a velvet colored handkerchief. Inside the thing was a small white pill that she pops in her mouth. She then looks at Naruto and before he knew it, she embraced him, but not only that. She aims directly for his lips, stealing it right under his nose, literally.
Naruto felt her tongue enter his mouth as they switch saliva and the pill is nicely placed where he's forced to swallow it. It wasn't a long kiss as they break off from each other embrace; it was really Naruto pushing her to catch his breath from the unexpected encounter, "What the hell!" he scolds her, "What did you force me to swallow?"
"My saliva?" Sakura jokes, laughing at her not-so-funny act, "Don't worry babe, it's for the best." She said kindly.
Naruto felt fine at the first few seconds, but suddenly begins to lose the feeling of his legs. He was about to fall to the floor, but Sakura supports him to stand while smiling gently at him like a mother watching her youngest child learn to walk, "Hush now sweetheart, it's for the best."
Naruto's vision begins to disappear as the surroundings soon become darkness, he still manages to squeeze out some words before his consciousness disappears, "You're a devil…you know that?" and Sakura replies, almost with confidence and a sly smile, "Please, the devil has nothing on me."
