(Last Time)

Unfortunately for Ino, Sai was sitting in the seat in front of her. But for me, this is becoming my favorite class. Kakashi was at the front of the class again and he got everyone's attention. "I have a very special announcement. Our own class clown, Naruto, got his very first 'A' thanks to Ashia." The whole class clapped and I sat there smiling. Naruto on the other hand stood up on top of his desk and took a bow. That's just how he is.

(Now)

After Naruto calmed down the class started in the new seating arrangement. It was kind of weird doing my school with Naruto sitting right next to me, but I was happy. It was 10 minutes before class was over we did what we wanted as long as we did not bug anyone or Mr. Kakashi. Instead of talking to Ino, who was talking to Sai anyway, I was just drawing in my notebook. Naruto was talking to Sasuke so I could not talk to him. And even if he wasn't I wouldn't know what to say.

The bell finally rang and I was heading to the door when Sasuke asked to talk to me later. I was shocked but agreed. I walked to my locker and put everything in it. Then I was on my way to the garden, one of my favorite places of this school. I was also sure that Shikamaru was there sleeping. I opened the door and saw something that I do not see everyday. I saw Shikamaru awake and not just awake he was making out with a girl. I crept close to see who it was. She was not wearing a school uniform. I saw her hair style and it looked familiar. Then it hit me. It was Temari. "I didn't know they were dating." I whispered to myself.

I noticed that it was getting close to the time for him to leave so I decided that I would interrupt them now. I walked up to them and cleared my throat. They both jumped and she fell on top of him. I started chuckling as Shikamaru and Temari started blushing. "Sorry but it is almost time for mister not-so-sleepy to get to class" They both finally got up and dusted themselves off. "Bye Shikamaru." Temari said as she walked away waving. I was staring at him when he turned around and sat down on the grass looking at me.

"You're going to be late for class if you don't leave now." "No I won't." he replied and lay back down on the grass. I had a confused look on my face when he said "The clock in here is fast. I set it that way." "Wait…so she has been coming here everyday?" "Yep and she always left right before you came, but today we lost track of time. By the way I heard about your make-out session with Naruto." "What!!" I yelled. "Who told you?" I asked in shock. "I heard you and Ino talking about it this morning in the hallway. Why?" I let out a sigh. "I don't even know if he likes me like that. How can I tell people about that if it is not true?" "Don't worry about it. I am sure he likes you. He is just to naïve to realize it yet." I smiled. Shikamaru somehow always made me feel better. "Anyway all he could talk about was you and…" "Shikamaru?" I turned to see that the same boy I was just talking to, had fell asleep.

I struggled to focus through my last couple of classes. At the end of my finale class for the day I suddenly got really nerves. I could not figure out why. Then it hit me while I was walking out the door of the classroom, Sasuke wanted to talk to me. I don't know why that made me nerves, beside the fact that you can not look him in the eyes without feeling pain, hate, anger, and loneliness. And the fact that I have never, in all the years I have know Sasuke, seen him smile. I heard that he has a nice smile. I walked to my locker and got everything I will need for the night and put in the stuff I will not need.

I walked out of the school and saw him standing there. I stopped for a second, took a deep breath, and walked up to him. It was weird. I did not see sadness or despair in his eyes. Instead I saw kindness and compassion, like he was going to say something nice. "You know in class today all Naruto could talk about was you." I looked at him and I think I saw it…Sasuke smiling. Then I looked again and I realized that it was just a smirk. That was close enough for me. I smiled at him with honesty in my eyes.

"Thank you Sasuke. I never would have guessed he would."

"You know he really likes you. He has never gone on and on about a girl before. I am kind of sick of it. As soon as he got home last night he called me and would not stop talking until 2 in the morning."

"Wow. I am sorry I did not know…"

"Don't be as long as he's happy I can deal with it."

"…You hung up on him didn't you?"

"Yes. Anyway I have things to do so I will see you tomorrow in class. See ya."

"Bye Sasuke and thanks for letting me know." I said behind him with a huge smile on my face.

I walked up to my house to find Naruto waiting for me at my door with a little box in his hand. Not small enough for a ring but the right size for a necklace. I stopped in shock before I walked up to him and smiled. I opened the door and we both walked in. This time she was prepared in case this happened again. She asked Sakura not to stop by and told her if anything went wrong she would call her first. Then she locked the door and was positive no one else would stop by unannounced. We both settle on the couch. Something was different about him. He looked nerves. He sat there for a couple of seconds in silence. Finally he handed me the box. "This is for you for helping me in school." I took the box and opened it to see a silver heart necklace with a sapphire blue stone in the middle of it. "Naruto, I can't take this. It looks too expensive." "It's not really. I bought it a long time ago for no real reason until now."

He said with a smile and rubbing the back of his head. I sighed and looked back at the necklace with a smile on my face. "Want me to help you put it on?" Naruto asked looking at me. I nodded and he came right behind me after I gave him the necklace and hooked it at the back as I held my hair out of the way. When the necklace fell into place I let down my hair, turned around and looked at it, then back to Naruto who had a small smile on his face. I thanked him and leaned in and gave Naruto a small kiss. As I was pulling away Naruto pulled me back and kissed me roughly then eased into the kiss. I almost melted as his warm hands moved down my back. Part of my mind was wondering why he was acting this way but the rest of my mind that seemed to make sense to me did not care for the reason. I moved in closer to him as the kiss became more passionate.

He slowly lowered me on the couch without breaking the kiss but almost as soon as I was lying down he broke away for air. "Tell me when to stop ok." Naruto said. He was supporting himself with his arms holding him up. I shook my head to agree and I felt a blush creep on my face as I look at his sapphire eyes and relaxed. I now knew that he did like me. I put my hand on his cheek and smiled at him. He leaned in and started kissing me again.

My hands moved to his back and I started holding onto his shirt. He moved one of his hands and it made its way to the bottom of my shirt. Then it slowly went under and I felt a shiver go up my spine. His hand started playing around my navel till it eventually moved up to my right nipple and slowly caressed it. I let out a small moan of pleasure as he continued and his mouth trailed to my neck, then lower to my other breast and he started to play with that nipple with his mouth. I bit my lip hold in a moan that was at the back of my mouth. I felt Naruto smirk as he let got and start heading down on my body.

I looked at him in shock and pulled up so that our eyes met. "Naruto, I am not ready for 'that' yet." He smiled and kissed me before he moved from on top of me. I sat up and looked at all the untouched books that were on the floor. We both let out a sigh while looking at the books then looked back up at each other. "Want to get something to eat?" I offered. His face lit up at the sound of that. "How about I make the ramen this time?" Naruto offered. "Uh sure why not." I took a seat on one of the stools by the island and watched as he started to add seasoning to the ramen and in a couple of minutes poured some out in separate bowls and brought them to the island. He put one in front of me and the other in front of the empty seat next to me.

We finished eating and walked over to the couch and plopped down on it. "I really don't feel like studying tonight." Naruto said with a sigh. "Me neither. Why don't we just talk?" I suggested. I kind of knew from how night began that we were not going to get any studying done. We started talking about how we first saw each other in Kindergarten and how we both felt the first time we met Sasuke Uchiha. We talked about Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, and everybody. We laugh a lot and learned a lot about each other. I found out he never knew his parents and I told him that my parents died when I was 10. After a while we did study a little bit. He is a very fast learner once he puts his mind to it. That made tutoring him really easy.

After doing a little bit of work I put on some music and we just sat there and listened to the slow songs. I rested my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me. Soon we were talking again until we fell asleep in each others arms.
