Intermission: Naruto Psuedo-sonnet.
I couldn't help but stare at you, moping over that loser. He's such a bastard, why do you even bother with him in the first place? Notice me, dammit! Notice me and I'll give you the world.
Oh wait…I don't have the world. I don't have much actually, and I can't offer much in reality. I can only hope my strong determination to achieve your love will get me by.
Sakura, even though you've always thought of me as being an idiot. I've always thought you were the most beautiful thing in the world, someone who should always be kept on a high pedestal.
Then why were you crawling on the dirt for him? I wouldn't humiliate you or reject you and if there ever is the chance to in the future…make sure I'm thrown into a river! Only a bastard would reject you! And that's what Sasuke is!
What attracts you to him? Is it the silent strength he 'seems' to give off? Or is it the cool indifference? If you wanted I could be that way too! I'd do anything to keep that special smile on your face…even give you to that bastard I hate and respect. I may act annoying but it's the only way I can get your attention with…
But now your Sasuke is gone, what will you do? Are you going to be lost without him, are you going to ignore my willingness to help?
I know what loneliness is, it's what I've dealt since the day I can remember. But knowing that you feel it makes me want to reach out and to hug and kiss your cheek.
You must really like him to cry for him, and it makes me wonder if you'd cry for me if I left. My heart aches at the many streams of tears pouring out of your eyes…and I have another new personal mission.
My goal is to make you happy! The promise of a lifetime!
…and never forget I won't take back my words, because that's my ninja way!
"Naruto…thank you." You shudder and sob, and I force a smile.

I know the last part is a bit confusing, because sakura said thank you before he promised her…but I wanted to see what I could type up in fifteen min. since I havent been updating in a while, and Narusaku has really been going through my head! It won't leave, especially since I can't find any decent fics with them!! GRR I dunno why I have a thing against sasusaku…I guess it's because he won't give her the time of day, while Naruto is struggling to make her notice him…I love his protectiveness over sakura. It's heartwarming.
