A/n: Hey again. I'm back with the next chapter. Just to let you know, as I don't think I've ever said it in this story, I don't own Naruto or any of the characters, although I own this story (I hope! oj oj!)

'Hey Sakura!!! I heard the news! Congratulations!!!'

'Do you have to be so loud Naruto, I was enjoying the piece and quiet then.'

'I'll go then shall I?'

'No! I'm only joking Naruto, how about we go to Ichiraku's place?' Sakura asked, knowing the answer anyway.

'Sure! Let's go! And I'll buy…'

'No. I will. I've got too much money on me nowadays.'

'How come?' Naruto asked puzzled.

'I'm dating Neji, he's a Hyuuga,' she sighed.

'Oh right! Yeah. Where is the guy who shacked up with my best friend?' he asked jokingly.

'Naruto!!! You never change,' she said exasperatedly.

'You do. I would have never put you with the Hyuuga boy, although after what he did with you, he can hardly be called a boy now, can he?'

'NARUTO!!!' she chased him all the way to Ichiraku's ramen, with him laughing his head off as he ran away from her. She caught him just outside and hit on over the head. Naruto's eyes watered and he faked crying, but calmed down when he saw that half of the place was staring at the future Hokage ludicrously. He led Sakura inside and they ordered their ramen, talking about various things that had happened in the village recently.

'There you go Naruto, Neji's over there with Hinata!' Sakura said to her hyperactive friend.

'Where? I can't see…oh right…yeah.'

As Naruto spotted them, Sakura noticed that he was blushing faintly.

'One sec Naruto.'

Sakura got up and walked over to Neji, kissing him on the back of his head. She whispered something in his ear and he nodded and chuckled. He pulled her around to sit on his lap and started talking to her, completely ignoring Hinata. The said Hyuuga girl stood up after a while and shyly walked over towards Naruto. She didn't go red everytime she saw him anymore, but she was still nervous.

At the other end of Ichiraku's, Naruto was as equally nervous. He had forgotten all about his crush on Sakura a long time ago, finally realising that he liked Hinata instead. And now she was coming over to him. What do I say? What do I say? he thought.

'H-Hey Naruto.'

'Hi Hinata. Erm…do you want to sit down?' he asked, pulling a stool out for her. All she managed was a nod, but that was a start.

'Aww! How cute! They're so shy!' Sakura squealed to Neji as Naruto and Hinata started talking.

'He better not try anything,' Neji growled.

'Oh lighten up! Anyway, he said the same thing about you,' Sakura laughed.

'He did, did he? Well I'll show him.'

'Neji,' Sakura warned. 'Cool it. It's Naruto, he's too nervous to do anything. And no matter how much he denies it, he's scared of all the Hyuuga's ganging up on him.'

'Pfft. The Hyuuga's do not "gang up on" anybody. We just…'

'Aww look! They're holding hands! Aww!' Sakura cut in.

'So yeah? You wanna go to the amusement park?' they heard Naruto ask Hinata as they walked by their table. They saw her nod her head. When they had left, Neji spoke up.

'Sakura. We're going to the amusement park.'

'Oh Neji! She'll be fine!' Sakura pleaded.

'I know that, she's a Hyuuga. I just thought that we should go to the amusement park for some fun.'

Sakura contemplated they idea.

'I can think of a special place, a more private place where we can have fun,' she smirked. Neji smirked back, but money on the table to pay for their food (which lay uneaten by the way), and carried Sakura, bridal style, out of Ichiraku's and headed towards their "special" place.

A/n: There you have it, another chapter. I know where the story is going, but I'm not sure how to get there, oh well! I'll figure it out. Please review, it makes me happy! XD
