A/N: Since I had more then 1 person ask me about chapter length I figure it would be better to explain why I cant write longer chapters, at least for this fan fiction.
~This story is currently being entered in livejounral contests and as such all the chapters have a word length, so even if I would love to write 17 pages I cant…not just yet.
~However thank you for all the people who asked, it makes me feel good that you want me to write more!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters presented in this fan fiction.

Title: A Whispers Worth
Prompt: 22 Bad Reputation
Summary: Naruto resolves to stick with Sakura, no matter what.
________________________________________________________________________
The day had off per usual, Naruto drove Sakura to school tried to coax her into conversation was rebuffed and they parted ways. For the loyal blonde however the scene couldn't have played out any better. There he was finally getting to know the enigma of Sakura Haruno whether she knew it or not.
Sitting there next to her in that grungy car hands poised at 10 and 2 the young man couldn't help but be captivated.
'She doesn't even know what she's doing to me" hands tightened on the wheel, knuckles clenching white, control was not something he was entirely fluent in.
For Naruto her presence was so natural, so right. Eyes trained in his quiet observations Naruto picked up subtle movements interpreting the unconscious signals that were just Sakura.
Contrary to popular belief it hadn't escaped his notice exactly how discomforted she was sitting there next to him, silent and pensive that and the harsh declarations she had been saying about him.
Her words both harsh and scathing were just that, words. Meaningless to someone like himself that excelled in actions and often forgoed spoken word in favor of bold declarations. He was loud and forthright and above all emotional. Emotions were invested in everything he did, or at least everything that was worth doing.
Like it or not Naruto Uzumaki already had a goal in mind. It had been resolved from the moment his father had made both a startling and life changing announcement. Bad Reputation or no he would slowly but surly break down her walls, piece by piece and settle himself so firmly in those small cracks and jagged edges that soon she would be the one observing him, fighting control and taking cold showers just to prevent the inevitable.
The engagement that he had been told about so many years ago wouldn't all be for not.
