AN: Okay I decided Sakura+Naruto are 17 in my fic.
Chapter 2: Room mates.
"All right class is over."~sensei annouced as the students left. "Sasuke-kun,"~Sakura called walking up to him. "Can we walk home together?"~Sakura blushed. "Why would I want to protect someone weaker then me? Go away. You're annoying."~Sasuke walked away. Sakura frowned dragging her feet towards the park.
"Why can't Sasuke-kun understand that I love him? I try everything to get his attention, but he pretends I'm not even there."~Sakura sat down on the swing slowly swinging herself. Her bangs covered her eyes. A tear ran down the side of her face, slipping down to the ground. A pointer finger caught her teardrop before the tear hit the ground.
"Why are you sad?"~the voice asked removing their hand away from Sakura. "Huh?"~Sakura looked up. The figure frowned staring at her sparkly tear on their pointer finger and licked it from his pointer finger. "You're tear tastes like you are in great pain."~The figure looked at Sakura. "Naruto, what do you want? I came here to be alone. Go away."~Sakura wapped her eyes turning her head away from Naruto.
Naruto walked behind her, grabbing the chains of the swing, pulling them back and running under the swing. "NARUTO! HOW DARE OF YOU DO THAT! YOU..."~Sakura was cut off as Naruto looked back at her. "Did I cheer you up?"~Naruto smiled. "Huh?"~Sakura shocked. '*b-bump. b-bump* Naruto wants to cheer me up. But why? I'm so mean to him.'~Sakura wondered as she the wind blew on her hair.
'Sakura-chan, is so beautiful with her long hair. I love her very much if only she knew how much. I wish she'd give up on Sasuke and give me a chance.'~Naruto stared lovely at Sakura. "Naruto, why are you triing to cheer me up? I'm so mean to you."~Sakura. "Sakura-chan, I know you don't mean it. Besides, I like you when you smile and laugh."~Naruto held his hands behind his head with his eyes closed, forcing himself to laugh. Sakura's eyes softened being touched by Naruto.
'Sakura-chan, it pains me when you cry. It's my job to do whatever possible to bring your tears of pain to tears of joy. I promise I won't ever let you cry tears of pain again only tears of joy. I promise my beloved Sakura-chan.'~Naruto.
"Thank you, Naruto. For cheering me up."~Sakura closed her eyes smiling. "Huh?"~Naruto looked at her puzzled. "Sakura-chan loves me."~Naruto. "No. I don't."~Sakura yelled stopping the swing. Naruto was about to run away but Sakura headlocked him. "Take it back."~Sakura demanded. "But it's true. You do,"~Naruto. Sakura tightened the headlock.
"Sakura-chan, are you really a girl? Let go. I'm going to black out."~Naruto tripped falling head first with Sakura falling onto his back. "Not until you take it back."~Sakura lifted his head with the headlock. "Take what back?"~Naruto with one eye open. "Take back what you said about me loving you."~Sakura.
Sasuke was walking by the park looking over at Sakura ontop of Naruto. Sakura looked up seeing Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun."~Sakura blushed lossing her grip on Naruto's neck. "Hmpt."~Sasuke walked away. "Sasuke-kun, wait. I can explain."~Sakura got off Naurto's back raising her hand, unable to move her legs. Naruto smiled with pride liking Sasuke seeing Sakura and him flirting.
"Naruto."~Sakura turned crackling her knuckles as she ran towards Naruto. "Sakura-chan, wait."~Naruto blocked Sakura's kicks and punches. "Can't we talk this over?"~Naruto turned running away. "Stupid Naruto!"~Sakura yelled chasing after him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shikamaru and Ino were walking home together as they saw Naruto running. "Look at that. Naruto's running away from something."~Shikamaru pointed. "Who cares. Serves him right for stealing Sasuke-kun's first kiss."~Ino. 'What a pain in the ass. All she talks about is Sasuke this. Sasuke that. When will she give it up and give me a try?'~Shikamaru.
"The thing Naruto is running from must be scary."~Shikamaru. "Must be."~Ino seeing Sakura running after Naurto. "Huh? Sakura-chan is chasing Naruto? I thought she liked Sasuke-kun. Now she's chasing after Naruto. There is something wrong with this picture."~Ino. "Maybe, Sakura likes Naruto, like you like me."~Shikamaru teased. "I don't like you. I like Sasuke-kun. You moron."~Ino
Sakura ran past a tree. "*sighs* That was sure close. I'm glad she didn't see me hid in this tree."~Naruto jumpped down off the tree branch. "No wonder I like Sakura-chan. She always reacts so violently towards me."~Naruto bend down gentlely ripping off the foxtail from the ground. "So soft."~Naruto rubbed it against his cheek. "just like Sakura-chan's hair."~Naruto closed his eyes.
"There you are."~a voice said, Naruto jumpped. "S-Sakura-chan, uh?"~Naruto was tongue tied. "Naruto this is pay back."~Sakura held a fist, swinging her fist. Sakura stopped her fist to his face as Naruto held up a foxtail. "Sakura-chan, do you remember?"~Naruto handed her the foxtail. "Naruto,"~Sakura was touched as Naruto gave her that innocent smile of his.
Flashback.
"Little girl gots a huge forehead."~a few children bullied a little pink haired girl pushing her to the ground. "I don't have a huge forehead."~cried the pink haired girl. "Hey."~a happy blond haired boy waved at the bullies. "Aa. Let's get outta here."~The bullies ran off. "Huh? What did I do?"~ the blond boy was puzzled of their reaction. He noticed a little girl crying. "Hey. Hey. Are you all right? Why are you crying? It's all right they are gone now."~The blond haired boy bend down beside her.
"Hey come on. Please stop crying."~The boy pleaded looking at the ground noticing a plant called Foxtail, he ripped the Foxtail from the ground. "Here."~the boy held the foxtail in his hand rubbing it against her skin. She lifted her head staring at the at him as he placed the foxtail in her hand. "Thank you. It's soft and it tickles."~The girl giggled at the gentle touch of the foxtail's softness. "You are very cute and you also got a beautiful smile. What's your name? My name is Uzumaki Naruto."~The boy smiled leaning close to the little girl. "My name is Haruno Sakura. Thank you for the..."~Sakura paused.
"Foxtail. Are you all right, Sakura-chan?"~Naruto. "Yeah."~Sakura looked away from Naruto. "That's good. You can have the foxtail on one condition. You have to be my friend. Please say yes."~Naruto pleaded. "Uh... My mother and father told me never to make friends with a..."~Sakura cut off. "Oh, please. Sakura-chan."~Naruto held her hand in his. "All right."~Sakura smiled at him. "Yeah."~Naruto jumpped up and down, overjoyed he had a friend.
"Let's go play."~Naruto grabbed her hand pulling her up and leading her to the swing. "Naruto, thank you."~Sakura held the foxtail close to her chest as they reached the swings.
End of Flashback.
"Yes, I do remember."~Sakura smiled reaching her hand to reach his as she helpped him up. "Shall we walk home together?"~Naruto. "I'd... I'd like that very much."~Sakura stared into his blue eyes in a daze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm home."~Sakura entered her house. "Sakura, what have I said about hanging with the demon boy. How dare of you dishonor me."~Her father confronted her at the door. "Daddy, I can explain."~Sakura was pushed out of the house. "You have dishonored me, Sakura. Leave. I don't care where but go. You no longer stay here."~Her father closed the door in her face.
"Daddy. Daddy. Open up."~Sakura cried banging on the door. Sakura stopped banging on the door. "Stupid Father. I hate you."~Sakura yelled at the door. She turned running away. 'Where am I going to go?'~Sakura ran crying letting her legs lead her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura found herself infront of Naruto's house. 'This is Naruto's home.'~Sakura walked up to the door touching the knob. 'Wait. He might have a boobie trap.'~Sakura frooze. 'Nah. Naruto's not that dump. I know that for sure.'~Sakura opened the door. 'It's unlocked. What a moron he is. Mother would get upset if the door wasn't locked.'~Sakura walked in, hearing snoring. "There he is."~Sakura walked up to his bed near the window.
'Naruto looks so peaceful when he's asleep like a new born baby.'~Sakura leaned her face closer to his face, he was wearing his night cap. Naruto smiled as Sakura backed up a bit. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sakura's back and head pushing her down to his face "Hey, wait a mmm..."~Sakura. 'My first kiss... NO!'~Sakura punched Naruto's head.
"Ow, ow, ow."~Naruto let go of Sakura, placing his hands on his head looking up seeing Sakura. "Huh? Sakura-chan, what are you doing inside my house? Have you come to give me a good night kiss like you promised in my dream?"~Naruto smirked. "Naruto, how dare of you kiss me."~Sakura yelled. "I did?"~Naruto. Sakura glared at Naruto. "Man, I kissed Sakura-chan and I didn't even know it. Sakura-chan is a better kisser then I imaged. Let's kiss again. I'm awake now."~Naruto jumpped at Sakura.
Sakura moved out of the way as Naruto crashed to the ground. "Naruto, I can't believe you'd go as far as stealing my first kiss."~Sakura fearious. "I'm you're first kiss?"~Naruto. Sakura glared at him.
"*cough* Sakura-chan, why are you here at my house?"~Naruto got off the floor and sat on his bed looking at Sakura. Sakura gave up and decided to tell him as she sat down next to him on his bed. "*sighs* Father kicked me out because I dishonor him. I have no other place to go."~Sakura sobbed. "Sakura-chan, it's all right. You stay here. I'll protect you."~Naruto wrapped his arm around her.
"Thanks, Naruto."~Sakura rested her head on his chest. '*b-bump. b-bump* Sakura-chan is in my arms. I can't believe it. I finally have Sakura-chan under the same roof as me. Wait until, Sasuke and Lee hear about this. They are going to be so jealous. I finally beat Sasuke.
Sakura-chan and Naurto. I love it. My long time dreams have been fullfilled. This is too good to be true. Sakura-chan and Naruto forever.'~Naruto brushed her long pink hair with his fingers.
"Naruto, where am I going to sleep?"~Sakura. Naruto gulpped blushing with a silly smile on his face. "With me on my bed."~Naruto. "Naruto! What the heck are you thinking? We're not even married. I'm not sleeping with you in the same bed."~Sakura yelled fearously slapping Naruto's face. "Fine. You can sleep on my bed. I'll sleep on the floor."~Naruto layed down on the floor using his arm as a pillow, turning his back towards Sakura.
"Naruto, are you going to be warm enough without a blanket?"~Sakura layed down on his pillow. "I'll be fine. Are you going to be warm enough?"~Naruto. "Yeah. Sorry about coming on such short notice."~Sakura. "I'm just glad you're under the same roof as me."~Naruto muttered.
"What's that?"~Sakura didn't hear what Naruto said. Naruto started snoring. 'I must have rocks in my head. What am I doing at Naruto's anyways. It's all his fault that I got kicked out in the first place. But, there is something about his home and him that I can't stand being away from. But wha...'~Sakura fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There were birds chirping by the window and the sun was shinning in Sakura's face. Sakura moaned opening her eyes looking outside. "Morning all ready? Naruto it's..."~Sakura paused turning around noticing Naurto was not on the floor. "Where did he go?"~Sakura wondered sitting up, climbing out of bed. She walked to the table, noticing a note on the table. She picked up the letter.
Sakura-chan,
Gone out to get some food. Relax and feel free to make yourself at home. You're home is our home. And my home is your home. I'll be home later.
Love: Naruto.
'Love Naruto. How lame is that."~Sakura crimpled the paper. She looked around the house. "Well, I might as well make myself useful and tidy up. Since I am a guest here."~Sakura grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh, Naruto. How are you?"~salesman. "I'm so happy. I came for some food. Anything good?"~Naruto. "Yes. But why so much food."~salesman pointed as Naruto grabbed a handful of food. 'Heh. Heh. I got a girlfriend now."~Naruto pointed to himself. "Really? Who's the lucky girl?"~salesman. "Her name is..."~Naruto whispered in his ear as the salesman's eyes widened with shock and surprise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was busy scrubbing the floors. 'After I'm done with this. I'll go buy some flowers at Ino's family store. To make the house more like home.'~Sakura finshed scrubbing the floor as she walked out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"See ya. Thanks for the food."~Naruto held a bag as he left the store. "Now for home."~Naruto walked towards his house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura walked in the flower store that Ino's family owned. "Ah. These will do nicely."~Sakura picked them up, walking to the tile. "Good morning, Sakura-chan. Buying some lilies huh?"~Ino's mother smiled taking the flowers wrapping them up for Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, is it true?"~Ino confronted walking up to a puzzled Sakura. "Is what true?"~Sakura. "That you are living with Naruto and now his girlfriend?"~Ino. "No, I'm not his girlfriend. Who's been tell you that?"~Sakura. "It's the talk of the whole town."~Ino. "What?"~Sakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Huh? Sakura-chan is not here. Wow. She cleaned my house. She's so thoughtful. That's why I love my Sakura-chan. She's the best. No wonder I call her my girl."~Naruto started to put the food away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Naruto!"~Sakura ran out of the store. "Sakura-chan, you forgot your lilies."~Ino's mother. "Mother, I'll go drop them off."~Ino took the lilies with one red rose and one foxtail. 'Huh? What is a foxtail and a red rose doing with these lilies?'~Ino. "Mother did you put these two in with the lilies?"~Ino. "No."~Ino's mother shook her head.
"I see."~Ino looked at the lilies. 'There is something going on with Naruto and Sakura-chan. Sakura-chan must love him concidering having this red rose, but what is up with the foxtail? Could it mean something more then friendship? Maybe a precious memory of the two?'~Ino wondered.
"Good morning, Ino and Mrs. Yamanaka."~Shikamaru bowed. "Good mor..."~Mrs. Yamanaka was cut off. "Shikamaru, what do you want? I'm busy with deliver. Go away or else Sasuke-kun will think I'm dating you."~Ino walked past Shikamaru. 'She is such a pain in the ass.'~Shikamaru.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello, Sakura-chan."~Naruto beamed as Sakura entered the house. Sakura didn't answer. "Uh... Sakura-chan?"~Naruto walked up to her waving his hand in front of her face. "Naruto! You stupid idoit. How dare of you say I'm your girlfriend."~Sakura yelled grabbing his wrist. "Sakura-chan I can explain."~Naruto. "Explain what your stupidity."~Sakura yelled making the house jump up. "Ah!"~Naruto.
"Here we are. These lilies are addressed here."~Ino looked at the paper. "It looks like we shouldn't interupt the young couple."~Shikamaru walked up to Ino's side. "What are you saying? I have a job here. I have to make sure the deliveres are delivered. Now go away."~Ino walked up to the house, knocking on the door.
"Maybe they can't hear you. Let's just open the door."~Shikamaru turned the knob. "Shikamaru, you have no respect do you? That's what makes Sasuke-kun different then you. He doesn't enter people's houses like you do."~Ino walked in. "You don't have any respect."~Shikamaru mocked. "Shikamaru, you better not be mocking me."~Ino. 'What a pain in the ass. She always talks about Sasuke.'~Shikamaru walked in.
"Take it back."~Sakura headlocked Naruto. Naruto backed up falling back on his bed. Naruto turned his body around laying ontop of Sakura. "Sakura-chan, let go before someone..."~Naruto. "AH!"~Ino screamed pointing at the two. Naruto was ontop of Sakura on his bed. "*gasps*"~Shikamaru. "Hey, you guys. It's not what it looks like. Naruto and I are just play fighting."~Sakura sat up letting go of Naruto with messy hair.
"Yeah right. It seems you two were about to make love. Sakura-chan, I thought you wanted to be with Sasuke-kun. But as I see it now, you'd rather be with Naruto. Take a look how messy your hair is. It's no play fighting. I know."~Ino scolded placing the lilies on the table.
"Of course, Ino. Sakura and Naruto are just having a bit of fun. Just like you and I did when we both play fight with each other."~Shikamaru teased making Ino's face go all red. "Shut up, Moron. Don't you get it. Sakura-chan would be pregnate with Naruto's child and not Sasuke-kun's child if we didn't come when we did."~Ino yelled at Shikamaru.
"Oh, come on. Sasuke is not God's gift to the world."~Shikamaru. Ino slapped Shikamaru's face. "You don't understand anything."~Ino cried running out of the house. 'Ino, you're a pain in the ass. Always getting your way. But, I want you to know that since the first time I met you I always loved you. Sasuke could never love you as much as I do. That's why I must win you're heart and get you to give up on Sasuke.'~Shikamaru whispered as he ran out after her.
Naruto turned to Sakura who was underneath him. "Sakura-chan."~Naruto ran his fingers through her hair staring into her hazel eyes. "Those lilies are very beautiful. They'll brighten up our home."~Naruto leaned his face down to hers.
'Why? Why can't I resist him?'~Sakura wondered allowing Naruto to plant a passionate kiss. Sakura returned the passionate kiss. Naruto hands were on her hip, moving his hand up her side, slipping his hand over her stomach.
'I-I can't.'~Naruto pulled away getting off his bed leaving Sakura laying on his bed. Naruto walked to his bathroom and splashed some water on his face. 'What is wrong with me? I finally have Sakura-chan. She's in my house, on My bed. Why can't I make the move? It seems wrong to make that move. I'm only her friend, who's looking out for her. Why did I have to have a crush on her?'~Naruto stared at the mirror.
"Naruto, are you feeling all right?"~Sakura. "Yeah. I'm fine."~Naruto wet his face and grabbed a towel opening the door seeing Sakura at the doorway. both of them staring at each other not knowing what to say to each other.
AN: Don't know how they are going to handle living with each other. Hopefully, Sakura's father will get over it. What a jerk for a father. Plz review.
AN: Okay I decided Sakura+Naruto are 17 in my fic.
Chapter 2: Room mates.
"All right class is over."~sensei annouced as the students left. "Sasuke-kun,"~Sakura called walking up to him. "Can we walk home together?"~Sakura blushed. "Why would I want to protect someone weaker then me? Go away. You're annoying."~Sasuke walked away. Sakura frowned dragging her feet towards the park.
"Why can't Sasuke-kun understand that I love him? I try everything to get his attention, but he pretends I'm not even there."~Sakura sat down on the swing slowly swinging herself. Her bangs covered her eyes. A tear ran down the side of her face, slipping down to the ground. A pointer finger caught her teardrop before the tear hit the ground.
"Why are you sad?"~the voice asked removing their hand away from Sakura. "Huh?"~Sakura looked up. The figure frowned staring at her sparkly tear on their pointer finger and licked it from his pointer finger. "You're tear tastes like you are in great pain."~The figure looked at Sakura. "Naruto, what do you want? I came here to be alone. Go away."~Sakura wapped her eyes turning her head away from Naruto.
Naruto walked behind her, grabbing the chains of the swing, pulling them back and running under the swing. "NARUTO! HOW DARE OF YOU DO THAT! YOU..."~Sakura was cut off as Naruto looked back at her. "Did I cheer you up?"~Naruto smiled. "Huh?"~Sakura shocked. '*b-bump. b-bump* Naruto wants to cheer me up. But why? I'm so mean to him.'~Sakura wondered as she the wind blew on her hair.
'Sakura-chan, is so beautiful with her long hair. I love her very much if only she knew how much. I wish she'd give up on Sasuke and give me a chance.'~Naruto stared lovely at Sakura. "Naruto, why are you triing to cheer me up? I'm so mean to you."~Sakura. "Sakura-chan, I know you don't mean it. Besides, I like you when you smile and laugh."~Naruto held his hands behind his head with his eyes closed, forcing himself to laugh. Sakura's eyes softened being touched by Naruto.
'Sakura-chan, it pains me when you cry. It's my job to do whatever possible to bring your tears of pain to tears of joy. I promise I won't ever let you cry tears of pain again only tears of joy. I promise my beloved Sakura-chan.'~Naruto.
"Thank you, Naruto. For cheering me up."~Sakura closed her eyes smiling. "Huh?"~Naruto looked at her puzzled. "Sakura-chan loves me."~Naruto. "No. I don't."~Sakura yelled stopping the swing. Naruto was about to run away but Sakura headlocked him. "Take it back."~Sakura demanded. "But it's true. You do,"~Naruto. Sakura tightened the headlock.
"Sakura-chan, are you really a girl? Let go. I'm going to black out."~Naruto tripped falling head first with Sakura falling onto his back. "Not until you take it back."~Sakura lifted his head with the headlock. "Take what back?"~Naruto with one eye open. "Take back what you said about me loving you."~Sakura.
Sasuke was walking by the park looking over at Sakura ontop of Naruto. Sakura looked up seeing Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun."~Sakura blushed lossing her grip on Naruto's neck. "Hmpt."~Sasuke walked away. "Sasuke-kun, wait. I can explain."~Sakura got off Naurto's back raising her hand, unable to move her legs. Naruto smiled with pride liking Sasuke seeing Sakura and him flirting.
"Naruto."~Sakura turned crackling her knuckles as she ran towards Naruto. "Sakura-chan, wait."~Naruto blocked Sakura's kicks and punches. "Can't we talk this over?"~Naruto turned running away. "Stupid Naruto!"~Sakura yelled chasing after him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shikamaru and Ino were walking home together as they saw Naruto running. "Look at that. Naruto's running away from something."~Shikamaru pointed. "Who cares. Serves him right for stealing Sasuke-kun's first kiss."~Ino. 'What a pain in the ass. All she talks about is Sasuke this. Sasuke that. When will she give it up and give me a try?'~Shikamaru.
"The thing Naruto is running from must be scary."~Shikamaru. "Must be."~Ino seeing Sakura running after Naurto. "Huh? Sakura-chan is chasing Naruto? I thought she liked Sasuke-kun. Now she's chasing after Naruto. There is something wrong with this picture."~Ino. "Maybe, Sakura likes Naruto, like you like me."~Shikamaru teased. "I don't like you. I like Sasuke-kun. You moron."~Ino
Sakura ran past a tree. "*sighs* That was sure close. I'm glad she didn't see me hid in this tree."~Naruto jumpped down off the tree branch. "No wonder I like Sakura-chan. She always reacts so violently towards me."~Naruto bend down gentlely ripping off the foxtail from the ground. "So soft."~Naruto rubbed it against his cheek. "just like Sakura-chan's hair."~Naruto closed his eyes.
"There you are."~a voice said, Naruto jumpped. "S-Sakura-chan, uh?"~Naruto was tongue tied. "Naruto this is pay back."~Sakura held a fist, swinging her fist. Sakura stopped her fist to his face as Naruto held up a foxtail. "Sakura-chan, do you remember?"~Naruto handed her the foxtail. "Naruto,"~Sakura was touched as Naruto gave her that innocent smile of his.
Flashback.
"Little girl gots a huge forehead."~a few children bullied a little pink haired girl pushing her to the ground. "I don't have a huge forehead."~cried the pink haired girl. "Hey."~a happy blond haired boy waved at the bullies. "Aa. Let's get outta here."~The bullies ran off. "Huh? What did I do?"~ the blond boy was puzzled of their reaction. He noticed a little girl crying. "Hey. Hey. Are you all right? Why are you crying? It's all right they are gone now."~The blond haired boy bend down beside her.
"Hey come on. Please stop crying."~The boy pleaded looking at the ground noticing a plant called Foxtail, he ripped the Foxtail from the ground.

It's soft and it tickles."~The girl giggled at the gentle touch of the foxtail's softness. "You are very cute and you also got a beautiful smile. What's your name? My name is Uzumaki Naruto."~The boy smiled leaning close to the little girl. "My name is Haruno Sakura. Thank you for the..."~Sakura paused.
"Foxtail. Are you all right, Sakura-chan?"~Naruto. "Yeah."~Sakura looked away from Naruto. "That's good. You can have the foxtail on one condition. You have to be my friend. Please say yes."~Naruto pleaded. "Uh... My mother and father told me never to make friends with a..."~Sakura cut off. "Oh, please. Sakura-chan."~Naruto held her hand in his. "All right."~Sakura smiled at him. "Yeah."~Naruto jumpped up and down, overjoyed he had a friend.
"Let's go play."~Naruto grabbed her hand pulling her up and leading her to the swing. "Naruto, thank you."~Sakura held the foxtail close to her chest as they reached the swings.
End of Flashback.
"Yes, I do remember."~Sakura smiled reaching her hand to reach his as she helpped him up. "Shall we walk home together?"~Naruto. "I'd... I'd like that very much."~Sakura stared into his blue eyes in a daze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm home."~Sakura entered her house. "Sakura, what have I said about hanging with the demon boy. How dare of you dishonor me."~Her father confronted her at the door. "Daddy, I can explain."~Sakura was pushed out of the house. "You have dishonored me, Sakura. Leave. I don't care where but go. You no longer stay here."~Her father closed the door in her face.
"Daddy. Daddy. Open up."~Sakura cried banging on the door. Sakura stopped banging on the door. "Stupid Father. I hate you."~Sakura yelled at the door. She turned running away. 'Where am I going to go?'~Sakura ran crying letting her legs lead her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura found herself infront of Naruto's house. 'This is Naruto's home.'~Sakura walked up to the door touching the knob. 'Wait. He might have a boobie trap.'~Sakura frooze. 'Nah. Naruto's not that dump. I know that for sure.'~Sakura opened the door. 'It's unlocked. What a moron he is. Mother would get upset if the door wasn't locked.'~Sakura walked in, hearing snoring. "There he is."~Sakura walked up to his bed near the window.
'Naruto looks so peaceful when he's asleep like a new born baby.'~Sakura leaned her face closer to his face, he was wearing his night cap. Naruto smiled as Sakura backed up a bit. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sakura's back and head pushing her down to his face "Hey, wait a mmm..."~Sakura. 'My first kiss... NO!'~Sakura punched Naruto's head.
"Ow, ow, ow."~Naruto let go of Sakura, placing his hands on his head looking up seeing Sakura. "Huh? Sakura-chan, what are you doing inside my house?

Sakura moved out of the way as Naruto crashed to the ground. "Naruto, I can't believe you'd go as far as stealing my first kiss."~Sakura fearious. "I'm you're first kiss?"~Naruto. Sakura glared at him.
"*cough* Sakura-chan, why are you here at my house?"~Naruto got off the floor and sat on his bed looking at Sakura. Sakura gave up and decided to tell him as she sat down next to him on his bed. "*sighs* Father kicked me out because I dishonor him. I have no other place to go."~Sakura sobbed. "Sakura-chan, it's all right. You stay here. I'll protect you."~Naruto wrapped his arm around her.
"Thanks, Naruto."~Sakura rested her head on his chest. '*b-bump. b-bump* Sakura-chan is in my arms. I can't believe it. I finally have Sakura-chan under the same roof as me. Wait until, Sasuke and Lee hear about this. They are going to be so jealous. I finally beat Sasuke.
Sakura-chan and Naurto. I love it. My long time dreams have been fullfilled. This is too good to be true. Sakura-chan and Naruto forever.'~Naruto brushed her long pink hair with his fingers.
"Naruto, where am I going to sleep?"~Sakura. Naruto gulpped blushing with a silly smile on his face. "With me on my bed."~Naruto. "Naruto! What the heck are you thinking? We're not even married. I'm not sleeping with you in the same bed."~Sakura yelled fearously slapping Naruto's face. "Fine. You can sleep on my bed. I'll sleep on the floor."~Naruto layed down on the floor using his arm as a pillow, turning his back towards Sakura.
"Naruto, are you going to be warm enough without a blanket?"~Sakura layed down on his pillow. "I'll be fine. Are you going to be warm enough?"~Naruto. "Yeah. Sorry about coming on such short notice."~Sakura. "I'm just glad you're under the same roof as me."~Naruto muttered.

It's all his fault that I got kicked out in the first place. But, there is something about his home and him that I can't stand being away from. But wha...'~Sakura fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There were birds chirping by the window and the sun was shinning in Sakura's face. Sakura moaned opening her eyes looking outside. "Morning all ready? Naruto it's..."~Sakura paused turning around noticing Naurto was not on the floor. "Where did he go?"~Sakura wondered sitting up, climbing out of bed. She walked to the table, noticing a note on the table. She picked up the letter.
Sakura-chan,
Gone out to get some food. Relax and feel free to make yourself at home. You're home is our home. And my home is your home. I'll be home later.
Love: Naruto.
'Love Naruto. How lame is that."~Sakura crimpled the paper. She looked around the house. "Well, I might as well make myself useful and tidy up. Since I am a guest here."~Sakura grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh, Naruto. How are you?"~salesman. "I'm so happy. I came for some food. Anything good?"~Naruto. "Yes. But why so much food."~salesman pointed as Naruto grabbed a handful of food. 'Heh. Heh. I got a girlfriend now."~Naruto pointed to himself. "Really? Who's the lucky girl?"~salesman. "Her name is..."~Naruto whispered in his ear as the salesman's eyes widened with shock and surprise.

Sakura was busy scrubbing the floors. 'After I'm done with this. I'll go buy some flowers at Ino's family store. To make the house more like home.'~Sakura finshed scrubbing the floor as she walked out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"See ya. Thanks for the food."~Naruto held a bag as he left the store. "Now for home."~Naruto walked towards his house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura walked in the flower store that Ino's family owned. "Ah. These will do nicely."~Sakura picked them up, walking to the tile. "Good morning, Sakura-chan. Buying some lilies huh?"~Ino's mother smiled taking the flowers wrapping them up for Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, is it true?"~Ino confronted walking up to a puzzled Sakura. "Is what true?"~Sakura. "That you are living with Naruto and now his girlfriend?"~Ino. "No, I'm not his girlfriend. Who's been tell you that?"~Sakura. "It's the talk of the whole town."~Ino. "What?"~Sakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Huh? Sakura-chan is not here. Wow. She cleaned my house. She's so thoughtful. That's why I love my Sakura-chan. She's the best. No wonder I call her my girl."~Naruto started to put the food away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Naruto!"~Sakura ran out of the store. "Sakura-chan, you forgot your lilies."~Ino's mother. "Mother, I'll go drop them off."~Ino took the lilies with one red rose and one foxtail. 'Huh? What is a foxtail and a red rose doing with these lilies?'~Ino. "Mother did you put these two in with the lilies?"~Ino. "No."~Ino's mother shook her head.
"I see."~Ino looked at the lilies. 'There is something going on with Naruto and Sakura-chan. Sakura-chan must love him concidering having this red rose, but what is up with the foxtail? Could it mean something more then friendship? Maybe a precious memory of the two?'~Ino wondered.
"Good morning, Ino and Mrs. Yamanaka."~Shikamaru bowed. "Good mor..."~Mrs. Yamanaka was cut off. "Shikamaru, what do you want? I'm busy with deliver. Go away or else Sasuke-kun will think I'm dating you."~Ino walked past Shikamaru. 'She is such a pain in the ass.'~Shikamaru.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello, Sakura-chan."~Naruto beamed as Sakura entered the house. Sakura didn't answer. "Uh... Sakura-chan?"~Naruto walked up to her waving his hand in front of her face. "Naruto! You stupid idoit. How dare of you say I'm your girlfriend."~Sakura yelled grabbing his wrist. "Sakura-chan I can explain."~Naruto. "Explain what your stupidity."~Sakura yelled making the house jump up. "Ah!"~Naruto.
"Here we are. These lilies are addressed here."~Ino looked at the paper. "It looks like we shouldn't interupt the young couple."~Shikamaru walked up to Ino's side. "What are you saying? I have a job here. I have to make sure the deliveres are delivered. Now go away."~Ino walked up to the house, knocking on the door.
"Maybe they can't hear you. Let's just open the door."~Shikamaru turned the knob. "Shikamaru, you have no respect do you? That's what makes Sasuke-kun different then you. He doesn't enter people's houses like you do."~Ino walked in. "You don't have any respect."~Shikamaru mocked. "Shikamaru, you better not be mocking me."~Ino. 'What a pain in the ass. She always talks about Sasuke.'~Shikamaru walked in.
"Take it back."~Sakura headlocked Naruto. Naruto backed up falling back on his bed. Naruto turned his body around laying ontop of Sakura. "Sakura-chan, let go before someone..."~Naruto. "AH!"~Ino screamed pointing at the two. Naruto was ontop of Sakura on his bed. "*gasps*"~Shikamaru. "Hey, you guys. It's not what it looks like. Naruto and I are just play fighting."~Sakura sat up letting go of Naruto with messy hair.
"Yeah right. It seems you two were about to make love. Sakura-chan, I thought you wanted to be with Sasuke-kun. But as I see it now, you'd rather be with Naruto. Take a look how messy your hair is. It's no play fighting. I know."~Ino scolded placing the lilies on the table.
"Of course, Ino. Sakura and Naruto are just having a bit of fun. Just like you and I did when we both play fight with each other."~Shikamaru teased making Ino's face go all red. "Shut up, Moron. Don't you get it. Sakura-chan would be pregnate with Naruto's child and not Sasuke-kun's child if we didn't come when we did."~Ino yelled at Shikamaru.
"Oh, come on. Sasuke is not God's gift to the world."~Shikamaru. Ino slapped Shikamaru's face. "You don't understand anything."~Ino cried running out of the house. 'Ino, you're a pain in the ass. Always getting your way. But, I want you to know that since the first time I met you I always loved you. Sasuke could never love you as much as I do. That's why I must win you're heart and get you to give up on Sasuke.'~Shikamaru whispered as he ran out after her.
Naruto turned to Sakura who was underneath him. "Sakura-chan."~Naruto ran his fingers through her hair staring into her hazel eyes. "Those lilies are very beautiful. They'll brighten up our home."~Naruto leaned his face down to hers.
'Why? Why can't I resist him?'~Sakura wondered allowing Naruto to plant a passionate kiss. Sakura returned the passionate kiss. Naruto hands were on her hip, moving his hand up her side, slipping his hand over her stomach.
'I-I can't.'~Naruto pulled away getting off his bed leaving Sakura laying on his bed. Naruto walked to his bathroom and splashed some water on his face. 'What is wrong with me? I finally have Sakura-chan. She's in my house, on My bed. Why can't I make the move? It seems wrong to make that move. I'm only her friend, who's looking out for her. Why did I have to have a crush on her?'~Naruto stared at the mirror.
"Naruto, are you feeling all right?"~Sakura. "Yeah. I'm fine."~Naruto wet his face and grabbed a towel opening the door seeing Sakura at the doorway. both of them staring at each other not knowing what to say to each other.
AN: Don't know how they are going to handle living with each other. Hopefully, Sakura's father will get over it. What a jerk for a father. Plz review.
