Naruto rushed up to the apartment, slipping his sneakers off on the doormat and catching his breath. Sakura and Hinata stepped out of her room, Shikamaru on the couch all ready. "Quite an entrance" muttered Shikamaru. Sakura sighed, walking over and closing the door.

"You don't need to be in such a hurry, I could've waited a couple more minutes" said Sakura.

"I couldn't" said Naruto. They exchanged a quick kiss.

"Sakura, you can't-

"I've made up my mind Naruto, I have to" said Sakura.

"What! Why? You don't have to do this-

"How else am I going to be able to pay through medical college? Kishimoto isn't there anymore, if I refuse they'll fire and replace me and I'll be out of work"

"I'll talk to this writer! I'll walk right off the set if he makes you go through with it!" shouted Naruto.

"He'll just threaten to fire Sakura"

"How can he do this! This isn't the kind of show we agreed to!" shouted Naruto.

"I've done research on this today, he's, well, stubborn. He never agrees to stunt people, and you're nineteen so you're of age. The question is, will you be doing it with Hinata, or someone else?"

"Hinata, you're, a virgin right?" asked Naruto. She nodded.

"You better be telling the truth"

"I am. Sakura, you have to believe me, I'm your-

"I believe you" said Sakura. She turned to Naruto, putting her hands on his face. "Please Naruto, I need this job. If you love me, you won't take this away" said Sakura. She brought his head down, kissing him on the forehead.

"Hey Shikamaru, can you take Hinata out? Get something to eat, or, something?" asked Naruto.

"Sure" muttered Shikamaru.

"Okay" said Hinata.

"Naruto?" asked Sakura. They waited until Hinata and Shikamaru had left.

"Naruto?" asked Sakura.

He put his hand behind her head, bringing her head up next to his. "I was never a good athelete, wasn't a good student, I'm not a good actor. The only time I don't feel like a loser, is when I'm with you Sakura"

"No, you're not a loser" said Sakura shoving him back. "Stop saying that! I would never love a loser Naruto, I love you!" she said grabbing both his hands. "We had this conversastion before Naruto, when we were first going out two years ago. We don't need to have it again"

Naruto sighed. "I don't like this still. I don't know, I mean I never thought we would have to worry about any of this on this kind of show. It just makes me sick, you doing it with anyone else! "

"It won't mean anything Naruto. In fact" said Sakura, letting go of Naruto and quickly running one of her hands up Naruto's shirt. "I'll show you" she said in a voice that made Naruto erect.

"Oh Sakura, you're so beautiful!" said Naruto grabbing her, both falling to the ground.

"Uuff! Naruto!" gasped Sakura. He reached over and pulled her into a kiss, Sakura closing her eyes and thrusting her tounge in with his, moving his hand up her shirt.

"You again?" asked Sasuke on the phone.

"Listen, they want to do another interview with you, about the Hinata situation. They want to hear about how you know, all the details. How's tomorrow, noon time?" asked the man.

"You're my agent, you tell me"

"I think you should take it"

"Normally that would mean not to but I can live with it"

"That humor only you know" said the man sarcastically. "Anyway, glad to hear it. Give them some juicy stuff, the media dosen't like vague bullshit"

The man hung up.

"I'll give you some juicy stuff all right" muttere Sasuke.

He turned to the TV playing in the background. "Playing the character of Orochimaru on Ninja Shippuden, Gekko is currently facing charges for the assault on the youths, but he claims it was all in self defence"

Sasuke smirked. "I'll blow that story out of the water"

Naruto and Sakura's clothes were spread all over the floor, Naruto stradling Sakura. "Amazing as always" said Sakura. Naruto got up to his feet, staggering a bit as he looked for his underwear.

"I'm wiped out" muttered Sakura. "I know you're normally rough, but damn"

"It's how you like it right?" asked Naruto getting his underwear on. He grabbed his pants and got them back on as well. "Shouldn't you get dressed? They could be back any moment"

"I'm tired, you do it for me" said Sakura with a giggle. She reached over and grabbed her underwear, shaking it almost tauntingly, before putting them on. It took another moment before both were fully dressed again.

"Oh god, better clean this up"

"I got it" said Naruto looking for a handtowel. When he found it, he quickly wet it, rushed over and washed the carpet.

"Thanks Naruto, I needed that. So much damn drama in twenty four hours, ugh"

"You act like I didn't enjoy it"

"I know you did you little pervert" said Sakura, walking over and scratching his chin. "Anyway, at least let me get us some drinks"

"Sure, you know what I like"

"I always do" she said going to the fridge, opening it. "I'll have to get some more soda tomorrow, I'm down to the last four" she said taking two out.

She sat down on the couch, handing one over Naruto quickly took, taking his seat next to Sakura, an arm around her shoulders. She wrapped her arms around his body, her head up against his stomach as Naruto sipped his soda.

"I promise Naruto, no matter what they have me do at that set, the only person it will ever matter with, is you" whispered Sakura.

"I know" sighed Naruto. "I don't want to be on set when it happens, unless you want me there"

"No, it might be a better idea if you don't see it. Thanks though" said Sakura. She let go, grabbing her soda. She quickly opened it, giving Naruto another scratch on the chin before sipping it.

"How about a toast, to us?" asked Sakura. They clinged their soda cans together.

"When's the shooting, tomorrow?"

"Yeah"

"How much am I in?" asked Naruto. Sakura looked around, finding the script near her feet. She skimmed through it for a few moments. "You'te not in it, at all" said Sakura.

"What?"

"No, you're not in it. I keep looking through, it's all about, me and Hinata" said Sakura.

"What the hell is up with this guy!"

"Calm down, he won't write you out, he can't. He can't be that stupid"

"I hate this guy!"

"Me too" said Sakura "Me too"

The door opened, Shikamaru and Hinata stepping back in.

"That was quick" said Sakura.

"What did you two even do?" asked Naruto.

"I all reayd ate, Hinata's not hungry, we drove around long enough for you two to make out, and don't tell me that's not what you were doing" said Shikamaru.

He sighed. "So are we doing anything else or should I go home?"
