Naruto gasped in surprise as Sakura grabbed his hand and jumped out
the window. Not only did he not expect it but he was secretly thrilled to
have her holding his hand. Had Sakura finally come to realize her feelings
for him? Was she madly in love with like he was with her? Naruto quietly
watched her every move as they bound through the trees in the normal
fashion of the ninjas, admiring her control over herself and her hair. He
missed her hair from when it was long, he really did like it that way, but
if it were what Sakura wanted then he would accept her decision to cut her
hair. She had become more focused he realized after the incident with her
hair being cut. More focused and more dangerous. He would have to work
harder to protect her from now on.
"Naruto! Hurry up because you're falling behind!" A thought suddenly came to mind. "How do you know where Kakashi Sensei is Sakura?" he called up ahead to the pink haired girl missing the feeling of her hand in his. "I don't but there's something I want to tell you!" What could she want to tell me? A grin crept onto his face as all the ideas came to mind. Yes, yes, yes, yes! She does love me!
Up ahead Sakura was absent mindedly looking back to check on Naruto's progress. I've been thinking about this for ever..and Naruto really doesn't hide his feelings.. Sakura's thoughts ran through her mind wildly. I have to tell him today! Before its too late.. With a determined look on her face, Sakura jumped down from the tree and into a small clearing, far from the main village and hopefully she thought, away from Sasuke and Kakashi. She gave a startled look as Naruto landed right behind her but she turned around to smile at him. "Naruto, there's something I've been wanting to tell you.." Sakura's heart beat rapidly and she could feel her palms starting to get sweaty but she was confident she could make it through this. "What is it Sakura-chan?"
"Naruto, we haven't always gotten along in the past and this morning is a show of that." A smirk played across her lips ruefully as she thought about the past. Hitting Naruto and calling him a baka, the constant degrading off him and swooning over Sasuke. "Hai, I know Sakura-chan." A semi-serious look came over Naruto's face, which is a rare thing to happen. "But, Naruto, I wish that we could forget the past and.." Sakura's voice faltered and she blushed, looking down at the ground. "And what, Sakura-chan?"
"Aishiteru, Uzumaki Naruto"
Narturo's large and very loud mouth dropped open, his blue eyes almost to the point of bulging. Did Sakura really just say that?! Am I dreaming?! He heard a slight giggle and realized it was Sakura trying not to laugh at his expression. "Sakura-chan! I always knew you cared! Aishiteru, Haruno Sakura!"
Unbeknownst to the two chuunin ninjas, sitting in a nearby bush was a wolfish looking Kakashi and a grinning Sasuke. "Maybe they'll kiss now." Sasuke whispered to his sensei, pointedly keeping his voice down. "If we're lucky we'll see a bit more than kissing." Kakashi's eyes lit up as he pointed to the video camera he had brought along. "Sensei!" Sasuke chuckled and turned back to the show at hand just as Sakura took a step closer to Naruto.
