'Ever since we saw Sasuke there has been an arkward silence between me and Naruto...I wish he would just say something.'
"S-Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry."
Sakura stopped, looking rather confused. "Sorry for what?"
"For everything. I'm sorry I ever intruduced Sasuke to you, and I'm sorry I ever said you guys should go out. Its my fault that he hurt you...its my fault that you had to go though that. Its...its just my fault."
"Its not your fault, Naruto, you didn't know."
"But I knew Sasuke was an asshole sometimes, I just didn't think he would do that to you...I thought he really cared about you. I didn't think, I never think!"
"Shut up! It doesn't matter what happened, its in the past." Sakura's voice was cold, but her eyes held warmth.
Naruto was taken aback at this. He didn't know what to say, so the arkward silence fell over them once again.
"Naruto?"
"Y-yeah Sakura?"
"I changed my mind, lets go to your house instead."

Naruto opened the door to his apartment and took off his shoes. Sakura did the same.
"Its not much, but its home," Naruto said, slightly embarrassed at the small mess.
"I think its great. You live here alone right?"
"Yeah...why?"
"Can I spend the night?" Sakura knew that question was a bit random, but she didn't care.
"Y-yeah, s-sure," Naruto said a bit flustered while blushing. "But why do you want to spend the night?"
Sakura saw the small perverted gleam in Naruto's eye and hit him on the head. "Pervert! I just wanted to stay the night to get away from my mom. Thats all!"
"Owww, you didn't have to hit me. I only asked why you want to stay."
"Yeah, but you were thinking something else."
"No...So are you going to sleep in my bed?" Naruto wagged his eyebrows suggestively. He knew she would hit him again, but he was just happy she was thinking about something else besides Sasuke.
"No! I'm taking the couch!"
"No, its ok. You can sleep in my bed, I'll take the couch."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. So...are you hungry?"
x
"Naruto, you are the only person I know who eats absolutely nothing but ramen."
"Well I love ramen, and thats all I have."
"Fine, I like ramen anyway."
"Ok..."
"Hey Naruto? B-before, when we saw Sasuke...why did you want leave so bad? I mean, back when he was here you guys were best friends."
"Yeah, we were best friends...til he did that to you. You mean more to me then Sasuke ever did, and after he hurt you like that I wanted to kill him! I had to leave because if I didn't, I probably would be in a police station right now. What happened back then really affected you; you haven't been the same since and I'm worried about you."
"Please Naruto, I'm fine honest. You don't need to worry about me, I'm just a little bummed. I'll get over it soon."
"Yeah, sure. Hey I'm going to bed...well the couch. I'll see you in the morning. Good night Sakura."
"Good night Naruto."
As Naruto walked into the other room Sakura noticed his hands were balled into fists.
Flashback:
"Hey stupid girl, get out of our way!" said a boy who was about seven years old.
"Yeah, everyone knows that guys go before girls on the swings," another boy added.
"Well I was here first!" a cute five-year-old, Sakura, said.
"So? Get off! We want to go on."
"B-but there are more swings over there," Sakura said, pointing across the playground.
"But we want these swings, so get OFF!" The boy shoved Sakura off the swing and she fell backwards.
Crying, she through some dirt at the boys.
"Oww! She got it in my eyes! Stupid girl!" He was right about to kick her when...
"HEY! Leave her alone! Don't you know your not suppose to hit girls?!?" Shouted an angry little Naruto.
"So? Girls are stupid. Plus she started it."
"No, you started it I saw you. You need to say your sorry, or else." Naruto's fists were balled up in anger.
"Or else what? You're only five, what are you going to do?"
"This!" Naruto closes his blue eyes and punched the boy. When he opened his eyes he saw the boy on the ground crying because his mouth was bleeding. The other boy who was watching this looked at Naruto and saw his hands were balled into fists again. He helped his friend up and they both ran away.
Suddenly remembering Sakura, Naruto went over by the swings to help her up. When he got close she put her arms in front of her face in a defensive position. "Please don't hurt me," Sakura pleaded.
"I-I won't hurt you, I want to help you. Are you ok?"
Sakura only nodded.
He helped her up and she thanked him.
"So where did you learn how to fight?" Sakura asked after a few minutes.
"I don't know...all I know is that its never a good thing when my hands are in fists."

All night Sakura was thinking about Naruto and Sasuke.
'Naruto said he wanted to kill Sasuke for what he did to her...What if he did? Would he go to jail? Gaara didn't go to jail. Gaara? Why didn't he go to jail? How come he only had to change schools? I mean he did kill someone, and at school too. So why is he here instead of being trialed? Ugh! Too many questions. I guess I'm going to have to find Kankoru tomorrow and ask him. Its weird that I have so many questions about someone who I barely met, but there's just something about him.'

"Sakura... Sakura are you awake?" Nauto nudged her shoulder. "Sakura...maybe you're like sleeping beauty and I need to kiss you to wake you up."
That got her attention. "Ahh Naruto, don't you dare!"
"Hehe I knew that would wake you up. Come on, time to get ready."
Sakura got up only to fall back on the bed.
"What's the matter?" Naruto asked looking all confuzzled.
"I forgot to bring clothes."
"Thats it? Well I can give you something to wear."
Sakura looked skeptical. "Like what?"
Naruto looked Sakura up and down. "I don't know, but I guess something black or purple."
"Ok, while you look for some clothes I'll start breakfast. What are you in the mood for?"
"RAMEN!"
"Ok...I guess we can pick something up before school."
Naruto gave her a dirty look, but it soon turned to a smile. "Fine, your treat."
"Wha? Fine."
Walking over to his dresser, Naruto wondered if he had anything that Sakura might like. 'A yellow shirt? No, she doesn't wear yellow. A pair of orange pants? No way would she be caught dead wearing that! A blue t-shirt? Maybe? But what about pants? She can't just go to school without pants...or can she? No! I got to stop thinking that way! Alright what kind of pants do I have that would look hot-...err...I mean good on a girl? I know! I have a pair of black pants that Sakura left here one day when she got wet and had to change.'
"Here Sakura, I have a blue shirt that is kinda small on me and your pants."
"Uhh...my pants?"
"Yeah remember when me, you and Sasu-...well me, you and some other person went to the park together and jumped in the lake? You came here and changed into some different clothes. You left your pants here, I forgot all about them. Lucky thing they are your favorite color."
"Oh yeah...I remember now, your pants came off."
"Uhh no they didn't!"
"Uh-huh. Whatever, I'll be right back, I'm going to change."
"Can I watch?"
Sakura sent a death glare to Naruto.
"Uhh I guess not," Naruto said, slighty afraid.

After changing and buying a snack for herself and Naruto, they headed to school.
"Hey Sakura, I had alot of fun last night. You should come over more often!"
"Yeah, I had fun too, and I might be over more often since I'm trying to stay away from home."
"Ok, your welcome to come whenever you want."
"Thank you, Naruto. That means alot to me."
When they arrived at school, Naruto and Sakura went their own ways.
Sakura walked over to where she knew Ino would meet Shikamaru.
"Hey Ino."
"Oh, hey Sakura. Whats up?"
"Nothing much. Are you waiting for Shikamaru?"
"Yeah, but he's taking forever! He says he needs to talk to me really bad, though."
"I think he's going to ask you out, Ino. You and I both know you guys are practically in love with each other."
"We are not," Ino said trying hard not to blush.
"Yeah you are! You guys are always flirting and you've known each other since you were in Pre-K."
"S-so?!? That doesn't mean we are in lov-"
"Hey guys."
Ino shut up quickly and Sakura tried not to laugh.
"Hey Shikamaru," they both chorused.
"Was I interupting something?" Shikamaru asked while looking at both girls expressions.
"No, nothing at all. But I have to go find someone, so I guess I see you guys later," Sakura replied.

'I wonder why I'm in such a good mood. Maybe it was Naruto, he tends to have that affect to people. Oh well, I still need to find Kankoru.'
Sakura walked all over the school looking for said person. As she was about to give up, she saw Gaara, Kankoru, and some other girl walking down the hallway.
'Great, I can't ask Kankoru anything with Gaara around...and who is that girl?'
Kankoru turned around only to find Sakura staring at his sister. He quickly made an excuse to his siblings and left them. He waited for them to turn the corner before he walked over to Sakura.
"What's up?" He asked her.
"Oh nothing...I was...uhh...just wondering if maybe I could ask you a few questions about Gaara."
"Why don't you ask him?"
"I can't...I don't think he will even talk to me, let alone answe personal questions."
"And what makes you think that I will?" Kankoru asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well you already told me a little about him, and I guess I'm just a little curious."
"Fine, what do you want to know?
Sakura thought for a minute. "I heard that Gaara killed someone...is that true?"
He sighed knowing that the school must of found out by now. "Yeah, but he didn't really mean to."
"Well if he killed someone, then why isn't he in jail?"
"Well...the truth is our father is the chief of police. He made a deal to move us over here that way Gaara wouldn't go to jail."
"Oh...well why did he-"
RING RING RING
"Oh I have to go, my class is all the way on the other side of school." Kankoru waved goodbye as he left.
"Bye," she whispered.
'First period is geography...with Gaara. I wonder if he would answer one of my questions...why did he kill that guy'
