A/N: This chapter basically wrote itself. We're now back to the NaruSaku pairing, enjoy
It was barely sunlight outside, yet he was up an getting dressed. He didn't care how early it was, he had to do something important to him; confess his feelings to his beloved. When it came to that he would get up as early as it took.
His feet moved with a mission beating on the dirt ground hard with each step he took. His eyes locked on to his target her front door, sure it was early but he knew she'd be up. She had always been an early riser, even in her genin days.
He stared at the door gathering the will to cascade his fist on it. Finally he stepped up an tapped the door, all that was left was for her to answer. The rest he hoped would go over smoothly.
He gently tapped again a little louder than his first, soon her heard noises coming from behind the door. She was up exactly like expected, regardless of if she'd say it or not he knew her better than even Ino.
Moments pasted before the door subsided in reveling her in her pajamas wide eyed at the boy in her presence They had had a slight fight yes, but still they were something more at least that's what he hoped.
He could tell she still was upset at him, but was tore between slamming the door in his face or inviting him. He didn't have to go in he had one task confess and explain, an he would do it.
"Sakura-chan.." her eyes locked his at the sound of her name. "I need to tell you somethings, I know you're upset with me, but just listen okay."
She gave no reply just a slight nod in acceptance. He had one chance to give her his explanation, and this was it.
"I remember the first time I saw you. You were upset over some girls picking on your forehead. Though even then like now I can't see anything wrong with, it compliments you well."
This was going smoothly thus far, he hoped he could keep it up.
"I was overjoyed when we became team mates, it was like a dream come true, the girl I liked on the same team as me, what guy wouldn't be happy ya'know."
"Though I knew you had eyes for one guy an him solely I was determined to at least get your acceptance if nothing else, so I trudged forward. Concurring a lot of things... all but one."
"This one thing hinged on my will power, even now it does. I knew long ago that, my affections for you were greater than most. I knew then that I loved you."
Her attention was his fully now, nothing else mattered but hearing what he had to say.
"So when the council gave me this stupid thing to do, I never wanted it to become between us, that's why I couldn't bring myself to tell you."
"I hated going out with each girl even down to my dates with Hinata, and Shion I wished it were you with me, sharing the memories."
"I could go the rest of my life without ever getting married or dating another girl, because its you I love an solely you."
His words they were sincere everyone that flowed from his mouth, not once had he even hesitated.
"I understand if you hate me, now but I just want you to know, I won't be accepting any marriage proposals. I'm content on waiting for you, even if it takes a lifetime I'll wait."
He stopped he had nothing left to say, he had done what he came to do an was now about to take his leave. Staring over features, her saw the jade eyes he loved baring water.
"I guess i'll leave, bye Sakura-chan."
His body began to rotate when suddenly he was embraced, her slender arms wrapped around his torso, her head resting on chest.
"Naruto, you baka." she got out between sobs.
Was she mocking his confession, no her tone of voice was to gentle to be doing anything of the such. He looked down to find the girl was already looking up at him, a gleam in her eye he had seen before. It was that gleam Hinata always gave him, it was comfort an loving.
"I understand what you were trying to do... now thank you."
He voice still had that gentle loving caress to it that he barely heard unless he had done something to greatly please her. He watched as she let go an moved her hands to his chest.
"Naruto I.." she was no pushing off the ground till she rested on her tips of her toes. "I love you too."
It was immediate after her short confession came out, that her lips gently pressed onto his. It was to his surprise for sure, he naturally stiffened at first then relaxed an melted into the kiss. It was nothing more than a simple heated lip lock, but it was definitely something neither would forget, they both were exchanging each others first kiss.
Almost as fast an sudden as it came it ended with her slowly pulling away to rest her head on his chest. His heart was racing, an he was sure hers was too, who's wouldn't after something as affectionate as that?
"Sakura-chan, I-I.-"
"Its fine, I was the one to kiss you." her cheeks glowed red. "Come in, I have the day off."
He really wanted to stay, but he had something else he had to do; face two elders an reject all proposals.
"I have to go see Baa-chan, but I'll come back later if you want me to."
"It would be great if you came back, go see Tsunade."
He didn't make haste he quickly turned an began another marathon style run towards tower to give his final denial of the marriages. Sakura stared at his back as he ran, he may be over hyperactive, a knucklehead, and a slight idiot at times, but that's what draws you to him.
He wasted no time going right up the stairs an into the office, where the three people he was searching for stood proudly,
"Ah, Naruto have you come to give us your approval of the priestess?" Homura asked genuinely.
"No, I've came to do the exact opposite."
A/N: Naruto's confession seemed great to me I hope you all thought the same. Faithful readers I hope I didn't let you down. I hope to here some great reviews, later.
