AN: Chapter 3: Nurse Sakura. Enjoy, NaruSaku fans.

Nurse Sakura.

"Sakura-chan, you look tired. You should rest."~Naruto brushed her bands from her face. "Good night, Sakura-chan. Sweet dreams."~Naruto whispered in her ear gentlely grabbing her chin, kissing her cheek. "Who gave you the right to give me a kiss?"~Sakura grabbed his chin pushing his face away from hers. "Sakura-chan, how about a good night kiss?"~Naruto leaned closer to her face, puckering his lips.

"No."~Sakura punched Naruto's face making him hit the bathroom wall. "Ow."~Naruto rubbed his cheek. "Sakura-chan, you still got the same punch you always had. Heh. Heh. That's my girl. I would expect no less from the lady I chose to fall in love with."~Naruto leaned aganist the wall. "Do you mind? I need to use the washroom."~Sakura folding her arms across her chest. "For what?"~Naruto. "It's none of your business for what!"~Sakura.

"Sakura-chan, if you plan to have a shower. Let's have a shower together. Since we are living under the same roof and now shacked up."~Naruto smiled his classic Naruto smile. "No way!"~Sakura stormed up to Naruto. "Whoa."~Naruto got punched in the face flying out of the bathroom.

'Why does Sakura-chan like beating me up? I don't understand it, but that's what draws me to her and makes me love her all the more."~Naruto stood up walking to the floor, near his bed. "Naruto, where are your towels? Ah!"~Sakura walked out of the bathroom catching Naruto taking off his shirt. Her face went bright red seeing Naruto muscles on his body.

'Naruto sure been working out. Look at his muscles.'~Sakura felt her heart crawl up her throat. "The towels are in the closet. Next to the bathroom."~Naruto folded up his windbreaker jacket, placing it down on the floor. 'Ah! What was I thinking? This is Naruto here. He's not a hunk, he's an annoying jerk.'~Sakura cursed herself hitting her head. "Uh... Sakura-chan, why are you hitting your head? Do you like what you see?"~Naruto looked up at Sakura blushing.

"Don't you know your manners? Not to undress infront of a lady. People will start thinking we're shacked up."~Sakura closed her eyes walking to the closet. "But, we are shacked up, aren't we?"~Naruto closed his eyes. "No, we're not shacked up."~Sakura walked into the bathroom slaming the bathroom door. "Hm... Sakura-chan's running the water. I wonder how much her body matured in the last five years. Mmm..."~Naruto layed down on his windbreaker jacket.

The bathroom door opened, Sakura had a towel over her head and a towel around her body. 'What should I use for a pj?'~Sakura noticed a folded white t-shirt in front of the bathroom door. Sakura looked up at Naruto smiling. 'Thanks, Naruto.'~Sakura picked up the shirt, closing the bathroom door. Naruto smiled as if he telepathy heard Sakura thanking him.

The next time the bathroom door was opened, Sakura tiptoed to the bed careful not to awake Naruto. Sakura felt the temtations to look over at Naruto win over her as she gazed at Naruto's muscular body laying down on the floor with just his pants on. 'Who would have thought the troublemaker would be this attactive in the last five years.'~Sakura licked her lips, tracing his muscle lines on his body with her eyes.

'I want to touch his shirtless muscular body. Trace his muscle lines with my fingers. I can't resist the temtation. What's wrong with me?'~Sakura's feet pulled her closer to Naruto. 'Sasuke-kun, is the only one for me.'~Sakura stopped herself only inches away from Naruto.

'This is insane. Stupid Naruto, he's going to catch a cold sleeping like that."~Sakura turned walking to the bed. "Why should I care, if he catches a cold or not? It's his fault I got kicked out of my home.'~Sakura crawled into the bed. 'Stupid Naruto, you're so stupid. Never caring about the danger as long as you suppass you're limits. Even when they are impossible for you. Maybe that's what makes you so attractive.'~Sakura yawned falling asleep.

Naruto started coughing in the middle of the night, waking up Sakura. "Naruto, I knew this would happen."~Sakura quickly jumpped out of bed bending down beside Naruto, touching his forehead. "*gasps* He's burning up."~Sakura's heart sank. "Naruto, don't worry. I'll nurse you back to health. Just please stay with me."~Sakura placed her arms around his chest dragging him to his bed. She layed him down on his bed and covered him with his yellow blanket.

"Sakura-chan, I'll protect you...*cough. cough*"~Naruto growned turning his head as sweat ran down his face. "Naruto, you don't need to protect me. You need to worry about you're health."~Sakura held his hand in her hand, feeling his forehead with her left hand.

"It's burning. If I don't find some herbs. Naruto...*gulpped*... Naruto won't make it."~Sakura stared helplessly at Naruto clinging his teeth together having a real bad nightmare. Sakura shook her head. 'No, I won't let that happen. Naruto is my best friend. I won't let him die. He gives me the courage with his determation. He's an important person to me.'~Sakura.

"Naruto, listen to me. I have leave your side to get herbs to help bring down your fever. Please hold on, don't give up. Don't be a coward, I know your not a coward."~Sakura waited for a sign. Naruto's groans became silent as he breathed lightly. Sakura released her hand from his hand. 'I won't take long. So you better not go and die on me.'~Sakura ran out of the house.

"I have to hurry and get those herbs.'~Sakura ran towards the forest. When she finally arrived at the forest, she was running looking for a bed of herbs. 'Where are they? Naruto's life depends on it.'~Sakura jumpped from tree to tree. 'There they are. About time.'~Sakura jumpped down off the tree to a bed of herbs. Sakura picked up three herbs. "Three should be good enough."~Sakura jumpped up into the tree to tree heading back to Naruto's.

"Sakura-chan, look out!"~Naruto screamed tossing and turning on his bed. "Don't hurt My Sakura-chan. You'll pay. Sakura-chan run!"~Naruto yelled. Sakura entered the house, dropping the herbs in the sink and running to Naruto's side as he was shouting her name. "Naruto, it's all right. You're having a nightmare. I'm all right."~Sakura softly spoke holding his hand in her hands. "Sakura-chan..."~Naruto whispered falling calmly asleep after hearing Sakura's voice. 'Oh, Naruto. I can't stand seeing you like this.'~Sakura felt a deep pain inside her heart as she ran her fingers through his blond hair.

Sakura stood up walking to the herbs in the sink rising them out and crushing them in a bowl. Naruto groaned clinging his teeth together and tighting his eyes. "Don't hurt, Sakura-chan."~Naruto hissed. Sakura walked up to Naruto's bed, lifting his head up.

"Naruto, I want you to drink this. This will help bring down you're fever."~Sakura placed the bowl to his mouth. Naruto kept his mouth closed. "Come on, Naruto. Open up or you'll get worse."~Sakura fusterated. "No. You're trying to poison me like you tried to poison Sakura-chan. Sakura-chan, run. I'll hold them off."~Naruto struggled with Sakura, almost knocking the bowl out of her hands. Naruto opened his mouth, Sakura held Naruto's mouth open pouring the herb juice in his mouth forcing him to drink it.

"No...*sighs*"~Naruto blacked out resting finally peacefully in Sakura's arms. '*sighs* I hope Naruto will now stop having nightmares and finally get better.'~Sakura layed him down on the pillow. Sakura held his hand in her hand falling asleep on the edge.

5 hrs later...

"Mmm..."~Naruto groawned slowly opening his eyes looking at Sakura. 'Sakura-chan, with a bowl of herbs? Was I ill?'~Naruto noticed Sakura holding his hand and holding a bowl. Sakura moaned opening her eyes looking up at Naruto. "Naruto, how are you feeling?"~Sakura. "I'm fine. All thanks to you."~Naruto. "I'm glad."~Sakura's eyes watered.

"Sakura-chan, why are you crying?"~Naruto. "Stupid Naruto. Do you realize what condition you were in last night? You could have died with that high fever. You're so reckless."~Sakura punched Naruto's chest, leaning against his chest. Sakura wrapped her arms around Naruto's waist. "Uh... Sakura-chan, are you feeling all right?"~Naruto puzzled at Sakura's sudden change.

'Heh. Heh. Sakura-chan is impressed with my build body.'~Naruto drooled liking the embrace. "Of course, I'm fine. I was just worried about your health. That's all."~Sakura. 'Oh, I see. Man, how am I going to get her to like me and hate Sasuke?'~Naruto stomack growled.

"Looks like you're staved. I'll make us something."~Sakura broke the embrace. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist pulling her down on top of him as they layed down on his bed. "What are you doing?"~Sakura annoyed. Naruto placed his hand on her forehead. "Eh?"~Sakura looked at his hand on her forehead.

"Checking if you got a fever and it looks like you don't have one. It's stange. You never acted this nice to me before."~Naruto brushed Sakura's bangs out of her face. "You're more annoying then you were five years ago."~Sakura punched Naruto's chest. "Ow... Heh, heh. But you love me."~Naruto teased. "I do not. I love Sasuke-kun."~Sakura pulled off of Naruto walking into the kitchen.

"Looking fine, babe in my white see-through shirt."~Naruto teased. "W-What? You perverted jerk. That's why you left me this shirt beside the door. So, you could sneak a peak at my body under this white t-shirt."~Sakura. 'I'll kill him later.'~Sakura clinged a fist.

"Sakura-chan, I know you like seeing my body as much as I like seeing your body. It's a called attraction. You're attacted to me like I'm attracted to you. Just admit it."~Naruto. "Shut up! I'm not attacted to you."~Sakura. Naruto chuckled at Sakura's reaction laying down on his bed staring at the ceiling.

"Sakura-chan, where do you want to go for our honeymoon and how do you want our wedding day to go? And how many children we should have? 8? 4? 1?"~Naruto turned on his side. "Naruto, are you just trying to be annoying?"~Sakura found Ramen. Sakura poured water into a pot, turning the stove on. After the water started to boil, Sakura poured the ramen into the boiling water and stiring the ramen. Sakura paused from stiring the ramen, grabbing two bowls from the cupboard and placing them on the table, sneaking a glance at Naruto.

'That bum. He fell asleep, before he had anything to eat.'~Sakura looked back at the pot as it started to boil over. "It's done."~Sakura walked up to the stove, flicking it off and moving the pot to the next burner. Sakura ran to the table picking up the two bowls.

'Hmm... I'll feed Naruto first besides I can eat later.'~Sakura placed one bowl down taking the other with her to fill it with ramen. Sakura blew on the ramen, walking back to the table. "Naruto, wake up. It's time to eat."~Sakura continued to blow on the ramen, until three min. passed and poured in the flavor stiring the flavor with the ramen.

"Sakura-chan, we can still go on our honeymoon and we..."~Naruto trailed off resting peacefully. Sakura carried the bowl of Ramen for Naruto taking a seat on his bed. "Open up."~Sakura held chopsticks with Ramen.

"Huh?"~Naruto opened his eyes. "Sakura-chan, I thought you didn't want to ever spoon feed me again. Just that one time when I was tied to the tree stump."~Naruto. "Yeah, well. That was when I was an immature 12 year old girl. Now open up. You have to eat something to regain your strength and health."~Sakura spoon feeding him.



"Sakura-chan, Ramen's my favorite. Did you make it for me?"~Naruto's eyes watered having some Ramen in his mouth. "Yeah."~Sakura forced a smile. "Thank you, Sakura-chan."~Naruto sollowed the ramen. "Mmm... Sakura-chan, is a wonderful cook."~Naruto. "Thanks."~Sakura continued spoon feeding him.

'Naruto, I always thought you were lucky not having any parents on your case. There is always somthing whirling me back to you, even though I try to my hardest to run away from you, but it's like a whirling always brings us together. Are you and I bonded someway?'~Sakura stared at Naruto as he blabbed.



'I wonder how my parents are doing?"~Sakura frowned recalling her father pushing her out of the house. "Sakura-chan, is something wrong?"~Naruto. "Huh?"~Sakura looked at Naruto. "No. It's nothing."~Sakura side-long glanced at the floor avoiding Naruto's eyes. "Sakura-chan, can I ask a personal question?"~Naruto. "Sure."~Sakura. 'It better not be perverted or he's going to regret it.'~Sakura. "What are parents like?"~Naruto. "Parents?"~Sakura puzzled. Naurto nodded.

"Parents always get on your case. All they ever do is complain, scold and boss you around. They are so annoying."~Sakura puffed. "I take it you don't like or get along with your parents. You're lucky to have parents."~Naruto. "No, Naruto. You get to do whatever you want. You have no parents to ever get on your case, scold or boss you around. I envy you."~Sakura.

Naruto held his head down with shadows over his eyes. "You're wrong, Sakura-chan."~Naruto started suprizing Sakura. 'Naruto's voice is cold, like ice.'~Sakura. "True. I don't have any parents, but that doesn't mean I still don't get scolded or do whatever I want to do. When I use to play lots of pranks. Iruka-sensei always scolded me. Hokage-sama gave me this house and watched over me. They both try to boss me around, but they always end up letting me have my way. Iruka-sensei is like an older brother or maybe a father to me. Hokage-sama is like a grandfather. I love them both."~Naruto clinged his hands into fists.

"Naruto, looks like the lilies need some water and sun."~Sakura grabbed the lilies placing them next to the window and pouring water into the vase. "I'm sorry, Naruto. I didn't know Iruka-sencei and Hokage-sama were..."~Sakura was cut off. "It's all right. Forget about it."Naruto shook his head calming himself down, gazing at his beloved.

"Sakura-chan, has a charming, huge forehead almost makes me want to kiss it."~Naruto muttered. "*gasps*"~Sakura dropped the water can. "What did you say?"~Sakura looked at Naruto. "Uh... I was just saying you'll make a good housewife."~Naruto.

"Yes, I plan to be the wife of Sasuke-kun."~Sakura laughed. "Oh."~Naruto not amused. 'Look at that. Naruto will finally give up on me and go for another girl. He is so easy to read."~Sakura. "Sakura-chan, don't forget to invite me to your and Sasuke's wedding. I want to witness your beauty in a white wedding dress."~Naruto brushed off his hurt feelings suprizing Sakura. 'He done it again. How is it, that Naruto always seems to amaze me like this?'~Sakura.

" At your wedding though. I'm just asking for one favor."~Naruto winked at Sakura. "What's that?"~Sakura. "Heh. Heh. To have one slow dance with me. Just you and me dance to a love song."~Naruto chuckled. "If you don't, I won't join in your wedding."~Naruto folding his arms across his chest turning away from Sakura. 'All right perfect plan to get Sakura-chan to dance with me. I really want to see her in her wedding dress, she chooses to wear for her wedding. I only wish it was me she was planning to marry. Having this one dance with Sakura-chan will make me think it was really our wedding, that I always dream about.'~Naruto smiled having his eyes closed.

"All right. Just one slow dance song. Understand?"~Sakura. "I know."~Naruto smiled with pride. "Sakura-chan, can you teach me how to dance? Since you are so smart and intellent."~Naruto. "What? How come you don't know how to dance?"~Sakura. "Because, I don't have a family."~Naruto. "Well, I suppose you got a point."~Sakura.

"All you got to do is follow the beat."~Sakura. "Follow the beat? What are you talking about? How do you follow the beat?"~Naruto. "Move your legs, hips and arms."~Sakura."Oh."~Naruto got out of bed. Naruto crazily swong his arms and stompped his feet on the floor. "What the hell are you tryin' to do!? Create the next biggest earthquake?"~Sakura punched the back of Naruto's head. "Ow... Sakura-chan, I was doing as what you told me."~Naruto held his head. "Not like that!"~Sakura yelled in his ear. "Gentle."~Sakura softened her voice. 'This is going to be a long day.'~Sakura.
