D is for Date. There's more than one way to say, "I love you."
Maybe it was all the emotional scarring from her misguided, painful declarations of love for Sasuke-baka but for some reason Sakura couldn't tell Naruto she loved him.
Sakura knew it but couldn't say it. Naruto kinda knew it but wasn't sure.
That's why Sakura dragged Naruto to the Ichiraku one summer night and ordered ramen for the two of them.
Confused, Naruto ignored his bowl. "Sakura-chan, I thought you hated ramen?" She simply smiled. "Yes, I do."
"Itadakimasu."
Looking into Naruto's eyes as she ate Sakura saw he understood. She said just one word but meant those three other ones.
