I do not own Naruto...

Chapter 4

Naruto and Sakura walked along the path, they both knew so well, to the Hokage tower. A slightly tense aura surrounding the brute kunoichi, as she kept glancing up at her blonde best friend. Naruto had been there for her through thick and thin all their lives, he was the one person she could always rely on and trust, she could be herself around him. Then why was she so nervous about telling him that she was in love with another woman?? Maybe it was the fact that she knew he had a crush on her since they were kids and she didn't want to hurt Naruto, by making it clear that she would never be able to return his feelings, but it would be selfish of her to keep Naruto chasing after her when he could move on and be happy.

Naruto sensed the tension and turned to Sakura, "Sakura-chan, are you okay? You seem a bit tense, what's wrong?" the dashing young man asked her. Sakura snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Naruto's voice, "Uhh ummm...it's nothing really Naruto-kun...ummm I think we should talk about it over lunch...we'd be more relaxed." the kunoichi smiled up at her comrade.

As they slowly approached Hokage tower, the Uzumaki noticed that the window of Tsunade's office, that she ALWAYS kept open, was closed. Naruto decided to let it slide for a while until he and Sakura walked up the stairs to get to Tsunade's office. As the walked in through the door at the end of the stairs Shizune stopped them, "Ahh Naruto, I'm so happy you're back. We missed you very much." she hugged Naruto and looked at Sakura with a weird expression on her face that the pink haired young lady couldn't quite read. Naruto hugged back Shizune and smiled, she was like an older sister after all, "Thank you Nee-chan, I missed you too. Is Baa-chan around?" the now curious blonde asked. Shizune ignored Naruto's question and turned to Sakura, "Are those the reports from the hospital, Sakura-chan?" Sakura nodded and handed over the documents to Shizune, who took them and placed the on the table behind the door. Shizune noticed the questioning expressions on both faces in front of her, "Tsunade-sama is not seeing anyone right now, she is in a very important meeting, and it might take a long time. I think its best if you come back tomorrow to see her." the black haired kunoichi said politely with a sigh.

Naruto just looked at Shizune with a suspecting look in his eyes, he nodded and left pulling Sakura with him. "Ne Sakura-chan, I guess we have more time to ourselves now since we can't see baa-chan today huh?" Naruto said with a grin plastered on his face as they walked away from Hokage tower. The blonde turned and looked at the window suspiciously for a while when he saw long white hair and a bare back flash across the window. He smirked and excused himself from Sakura's company for a few minutes with the excuse that he forgot something, and promised to meet her at Ichiraku's.

A few minutes later, a bright, grinning Naruto walked into Ichiraku's and sat next to Sakura. "Yo, Teuchi-jii-san. How've you been?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at her comrade who looked like he struck gold with a confused look on her face. "Naruto, there's something I need to tell you. It's really important." Sakura mumbled nervously. Noticing the drop of the honorific at the end of his name, Naruto pouted slightly, then beamed at Sakura, ready to tease her, "What is it, Sakura-chan? Are you finally going to confess that you love me and you have loved me all along but you were just too shy to admit it?" Naruto rambled on.

Sakura blushed and got up to hit Naruto on his head, but instead she embraced him with a sigh,"Of course I love you Naruto, you're my best friend, but what I need to tell you is-" Sakura got cut off with a pair of warm, soft lips being pressed to hers while a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her away from Naruto gently. As soon as the lips left hers, while still being flustered, she looked at her girlfriend smiling, and said "that I'm in love with Tenten."

Naruto almost had a nose bleed at the sight before him, he thought it was so sexy. "Hello beautiful, how did you sleep last night? I hope I didn't tire you too much." a light voice came through Tenten's lips and she kissed Sakura one more time. Naruto sat there in tears as Sakura blushed and hid her face in Tenten's neck, whispering something to her, before inhaling her scent. The emotional blonde sniffled and wiped his tears away as he looked at the two love birds. Tenten sat on a stool and pulled Sakura to sit on her with a smile.Tenten nodded at Naruto in acknowledgement and Naruto returned the gesture. "Well Sakura-chan, I'm really happy for you. I thought you were still in love with Sasuke to be honest, but I guess now I can have him all to myself." Naruto said with a wide grin spread over his face. Sakura stood up and Naruto waited to be beaten all the way across the globe, but instead he felt a soft pair of lips on his forehead. Sakura pulled away with a grin plastered on her face this time. "I always knew you loved him, Naruto-kun, you loved him all along, you were just too shy to admit it." Sakura threw his own words back at him and he blushed a bit.

After a while, the trio began laughing and talking, they had lunch together after convincing Teuchi-san and Ayame to join them. They relaxed at Ichiraku's for the rest of the day with the rest of their comrades joining in. The day ended with Naruto and Lee having a contest to see who could eat the most ramen, and of course, Naruto won.
