Author's Note: I'm sorry I have put off writing this chapter. I had school work that needed to be looked at. Well, started, but that's not important right now. Also I got a comment in a review saying that, what Naruto said wasn't out of line, but look at the situation for the Rookie Nine's point of view. They all new Sakura loved Naruto, but when they came in they just saw him become very angry with her without even listening to what she had to say. Alright, so without further ado…

Chapter Four

Sakura ran back to her house, ran inside, slammed the door and kicked off her sandals. She then proceeded to run up the stairs in her apartment and right to her room. Still sobbing heavily from what Naruto had said still haunted her like crazy. Why do you continue to mess with my heart? It wouldn't leave her mind. Sure she had been mean to him in the past, but she never thought it would turn into that. Normally he would just shrug that kind of stuff off. Four years can change a person though.

At that same time she had no idea that Sasuke was trying to follow her. "So do I take a right at Ichiraku's or the next road? I knew I should have remembered where her house was," Sasuke mumbled to himself. that's when he looked down to see drops of water in the soil. "Perfect," he said and gave a wicked smile, then took off.

Naruto on the other hand, was having a better time at finding her, after some help of course.

(Short Flashback)

Naruto was about to turn and run out when he realized something. He turned back around and looked at Ino.

"Ino I have no idea where Sakura lives, you have to tell me," Naruto begged as his entire torso fell down, showing that he was clearly up set.

"Naruto you're such an idiot you know that, but fine," she replied.

(The end of the Flashback, because I don't want to describe where Sakura lives)

Even though Naruto could get there in an instant, he felt it might scare her for him to just show up. 'It would be funny to watch her jump when I flashed in, but it might make her mad and don't want that after what I already said to her,' he thought as he ran over the tops of houses. He could just imagine the kind of anger an unstable Sakura could release. She might just kill him. Naruto just sighed and continued onward to Sakura's residence.

Sasuke after reaching Sakura's from the trail of tears, knocked on the door trying to be subtle. He waited there swaying back and forth a bit; anxious about how this could be his chance to win over Sakura. He heard what sounded like someone coming down the stairs slowly. This only made the waiting even more unbearable. Suddenly he saw the doorknob turn and he looked to see Sakura. She was clearly distraught; her eyes were red and puffy, he also noticed that she had tears stains down the side of her face and that new ones kept coming.

"Sa…Sasuke, wh…what are you doing here?" she mumbled surprised and trying to hold back her tears.

"I just wanted to see if you were okay," he replied, lying of course, but she couldn't tell. "So can I come in?" Without letting her give an answer he continued, "Oh thank you," and stepped inside.

"Sasuke what are you doing here?" she asked again replacing her old feeling with anger, which allowed her to speak clearer.

"Like I said," he replied, "I wanted to talk."

"About what," she asked with agitation in her voice.

"I saw what happened."

"Oh… Sasuke please leave you know the way out," she ran up the stairs to her room. She could feel a new set of fresh tears coming.

Sasuke didn't listen to her. Instead he followed right behind her into her room. "Sasuke I said leave!" she yelled right back at him standing right in the middle of her room. "Sakura I need to talk to you." he replied grabbing her wrist causing her to yelp and forcing her to look at him.

Meanwhile Naruto was outside when he heard something coming from inside Sakura's house. 'What is going on up there,' he thought, 'well I better check it out.' He opened the door and closed it slowly as to not make a sound. He walked up the stairs making sure he watched his steps. He couldn't help hearing Sasuke say something and then Sakura yelp. Still he went slowly up the stairs and saw what was happening with his own eyes.

"Sakura don't make me have to use the Mangekyo Sharingan on you just so you will listen," Sasuke said forcefully while Sakura was trying to escape his grip.

"Sasuke leave me alone," she replied fresh escaping from her eyes.

"I think she wants you to leave man."

They both spun around to see Naruto leaning against her doorframe. His legs were crossed and he was just staring at what was going on. "Don't make me have to escort you out Sasuke."

Sasuke stared right back at Naruto and he activated his Sharingan. "Naruto what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I just came back to apologize," Naruto looked at Sakura then Sasuke who hadn't let up on his grip, "when I saw you harassing her."

Sasuke threw Sakura on her bed and started to concentrate chakra into the palm of his hand. Sasuke then charged Naruto. Naruto knew what was coming and waited till the last second and he disappeared only to reappear right next to Sakura.

"Are you okay Sakura-Chan?" he asked.

Seeing Naruto so worried about her and the addition of the honorific he always used made her heart skip a beat. Or at least that's what she thought happened.

"How did you dodge that Dope?" Sasuke asked as he walked away from the whole he had made in the wall.

"Just one my family's jutsus, besides you saw me do it earlier, don't act so surprised."

He could tell that Naruto was messing with him. "Hmpf" he replied haughtily. "So Dope let's finish what we started."

"I'm going to have to turn you down," Naruto answered.

"What?" both Sakura and Sasuke asked, completely surprised by that answer.

"Well I don't really want to fight in Sakura-Chan's apartment and besides, if the two of us fought all out we could be a serious risk to the village and I also don't have the need to fight you."

"What!" Sasuke yelled, still surprised he didn't want to fight.

Naruto then turned around and knelled down next to Sakura and asked, "Hey you look a little shaken up, and Sasuke kind of destroyed your room with his Chidori so if you want you could come back with me to my estate and stay there?"

She just nodded while Sasuke on the other charged right towards them with another Chidori. Naruto sensed this and used his Hiraishin no Jutsu to grab Sasuke's neck and hold his face right next to a kunai. "If you ever try a stunt like this again, I will kill you," Naruto whispered to him with his demon voice. Naruto then returned to normal and knocked Sasuke out.

Sasuke, as he fell towards the ground could only think, 'How could I bested by Naruto. Is he actually stronger than me now?'

Sakura watched in awe as Naruto defeated Sasuke so easily. "Wow Naruto I had no idea how much you changed."

Naruto gave a smile and scratched the back of his head. "He wasn't really prepared for that, he'll know better next time. Alright let's go take him home and head over to my place."

"Alright," she replied. After they were done with their chore they walked over to Naruto's estate and Sakura couldn't help but gaze at it.

"It's huge," Sakura finally let out.

"I know I've been living by myself here for awhile now. It gets kind of lonely."

Naruto opened the door to the estate and walked over to the main house. He opened the door for her and let her walk in. She said thank you and was again taken back by how amazing the house was.

"So Sakura do you want to stay in a guest room or if you're still shaken up over what happened you could... well... um sleep with me. I have a pretty large bed so…" he could feel himself start to blush. Sakura noticed this and couldn't help do the same and take advantage of his offer.

"Thanks Naruto I'm still worried about Sasuke and with you right next to me would make me feel much more comfortable," she replied trying to act innocent.

"Alright so how about we both get ready for bed," he then showed her to his room and he then went over to his drawer and pulled off everything, except his boxers and put on a white tee. The entire time Sakura couldn't keep her eyes to herself. She admired how strong and muscled he was. Finally she decided she had to say something or get caught for staring.

"Um, Naruto?"

"Yes."

"I don't have anything to sleep in."

"Well you could sleep in some of my clothes if you want?"

"Alright throw me a shirt. I think that would be good enough."

"Alright."

He threw her the shirt and she walked into his bathroom and changed. By the time she came out Naruto was in bed staring at the ceiling. He heard her come in and looked at her. He couldn't help but blush when he saw her. The tee-shirt was too big for her and because of that it looked like the only thing she was wearing.

Blushing at his reaction she got in bed right next to him. She snuggled in close to him to feel the heat that he was giving off. Naruto was taken back by this at first, but found it very enjoyable.

'Now's my chance' thought Sakura as she cupped his cheek with her hand and pulled his head closer together so their lips could meet. It was a deep kiss that said, 'I missed you so much when I was apart from you.' Suddenly they broke apart. They both had to catch their breath.

"Good night Sakura. I love you," Naruto whispered right into her ear.

"I love you too," she returned and gave him a quick kiss on the lips and they went to sleep.

Author's Note: If you need for me to spell it out to you this is the end. Yes, they had a happy life together. Maybe I'll make a sequel. This was just a story to see how well I could write. I plan to make my next stories more in-depth. This story might also appear rushed. So sorry about that. Also I don't own Naruto, I'm too cheap. So now that this story is over with I will start working on my new idea soon. It's a crossover; if you want more info than that you should check my profile. Alright then do what ever you want. Review, add this story to your favorites or forget about it. I don't really care. I'm still going to write, so till next time…

P.S. I know some of you really wanted me to really beat up Sasuke, but I think it didn't really fit with this story. Maybe some other time though.
