Naruto: Woowee! This is all so exciting! I finally woke up!
Sakura: ~annoyed~ Be quiet! We gotta finish the story. Continue!

Naruto shifted. This startled Sakura a little. She started to call his name in whisper.
"Naruto?" she said. "Are you okay?"
"Mmm." he replied raising himself. "Fine.I think."
Sakura felt so relieved that he woke up that she didn't realize that she was hugging him tightly. He was dumbstruck.
Naruto didn't say anything. He must have been still trying to remember what happened and what Sakura was doing.
She let go of him, hot tears on her cheeks.
"I thought you weren't gonna wake up for a long time and I couldn't bring you up to the village because I didn't have any strength left but I feel guilty I didn't bring any help either." Said Sakura all this very quickly.
Naruto was concentrating on looking at her and her words might have confused him a little.
"I-it's ok," he said. He had blushes on his cheeks. He then looked down at his hand. "Did you do this?"
"Yes," she said, her voice quivering a little. "I did anything I could at the moment."
"Thank you, Sakura," he said and his blushes grew bigger. He smiled at her with his warm smile. She couldn't help but smile back. She laughed a little at how crazy their experience was.
"I should apologize for hurting you," said Naruto pointing at her arm. "I didn't know the branch would break."
"Oh, it's nothing," she waved her hand in the arm impatiently. "Can you walk? I think you need to rest."
"Yeah, but we still didn't find any white mushrooms for Kakashi Sensei," he said, crossing his arms, pressing them against his chest.
Sakura stood up. "We'll get another chance."
Naruto put his hands on the ground to help him push himself up and then cried out in surprise. He brushed the snow away and there lay a good bunch of white mushrooms. Sakura felt so happy that she jumped up and laughed.
She helped Naruto stand up and they both gathered a handful of the mushrooms each. This was such a fun trip, kind of scary in the middle but so happy in the end.
They walked back the way the came and were soon out of the dark and cold forest. Slowly, they made their way back to their meeting place on the bridge.
Kakashi Sensei and Sasuke were both there. Sensei was reading Love Paradise once more and Sasuke had his arms crossed, a look of frustration on his face.
Sakura and Naruto walked over to them and Sasuke gave them his angered look before looking away. Kakashi didn't really care if they were late; he seemed more interested in the book.
"Hey," he said, putting the book away. "How'd it go? You're only late about twenty minutes."
"Sorry," said Sakura. "We got the mushrooms though." She took out the bag with the mushrooms and handed them to Sensei. He seemed pleased.
"You guys got more than we did," he said. "Where'd you find them?"
Naruto just grinned. Sakura did the same.
"Ok," said Kakashi. "Class over! Your vacation starts now. It will end on the third day after New Year's. We meet here then, same time. Bye."
He didn't wait for them to respond. He was too quick to get away.
Sasuke was finally satisfied that he could go. He glared at Naruto and Sakura before too, descending.
Sakura was still smiling. She felt very glad that she was over Sasuke but now a new feeling was seeping into her. Another feeling of liking. That someone she liked was right in front of her. She could admit it now without being humiliated, somehow.
"I never knew I could have fun with you, Naruto," she said to him.
"Thanks!" he answered, very pleased that his crush was finally noticing him as not someone annoying or stupid.
Sakura pulled herself up on the bridge raft and let her legs swing for a little bit. The snow was back, she noticed. Naruto was very happy with that.
He started to try and catch snow flakes on his tongue. It was a very funny sight. Sakura was full of happiness and laughter. When he was out of breath, he joined her on the raft and they both sat there, looking at the snow. It was getting dark but there was light from the village that made it all look very beautiful.
Sakura looked around. So peaceful. She sighed and leaned against Naruto. She could feel him grinning to himself. He was satisfied and he deserved this, after being hated all these years.
She sat up and looked at Naruto. He must be paralyzed with what to do.
Poor boy, I'll show him the way.
She leaned against him and their lips met. Sakura felt happy to give her first kiss not to Sasuke but to someone that has been there for her, that always liked and respected her.
They separated and Sakura whispered into Naruto's ear.
"I'm beginning to like you."
She leaned against him again and closed her eyes. Naruto could have been on the ninth cloud for all she knew but she was up there anyway, in any case.
