Interval XI:

That night Sakura waited at the gate for Naruto about an hour early. She got bored and fell asleep right there. An hour later Naruto and Rikako came finding a sleeping Sakura. Naruto bends down on his knees and decides that he'll carry her while Rikako would carry her bags.

They left the village quietly during that night and not a single person noticed even that the gates had opened. Naruto and Rikako walked down the open road path until it slowly began to disappear. For three hours they wandered in the dark forest until they found a cave to stay in.

Rikako got out Sakura's sleeping bag and Naruto placed her down gently. After that Naruto and Rikako got out their sleeping bags and lied down, Naruto slept in between each of the girls and he put an arm around each of them. Rikako fell asleep right away, but it had seemed that Sakura had just woken up.

"Naruto?" she whispered but still sleepy.

"Hmm?" he answered.

"Where are we?" she asked wrapping her arms around him.

"Not in Konoha anymore Dorothy," he said.

"Jerk," she said and then heard Naruto chuckle after that.

"Go back to sleep," he said softly.

"I can't..........I want to ask you something by the way," she said looking at his face and waiting for him to look at her.

As if he could read her mind he looked at her, and asked, "What?"

"Are you happy to have me with you? Or am I just another burden? Like I was when we were a team," she said coldly to herself.

"Actually," he said, "I'm glad you came. I couldn't force you to come but I really wanted you to come. I'm really confused right now. You say you love me, but I don't know if it's for real, or if this is just one big dream that I'll wake up in a cold sweat. I don't even know myself anymore."

"I know how you feel," she said, "but still there's one thing that's for sure for me and maybe even for you. I just want to be with you Naruto. I just want you close to me even if you live a few blocks down the street. As long as I know you're there, I'm happy."

"Are you serious?" he said then slowly sat up making sure not to wake Rikako, but that girl was snoring her brains out.

Sakura sat up as well and wrapped her arms around him, "Yeah, I am. That day when you walked me home.......and you said that you wouldn't annoy me anymore...........I felt like a real bitch those past few years."

"Oh! I didn't mean to make you feel that way, I just thought that it would please you to know that........well I thought that you still liked Sasuke and I........well.......ummm," he stuttered a whole bunch of gibberish.

Sakura gently placed her finger on his lips and hushed him, "I know, I know," she said softly. "But in all honesty..............it's really my fault. You tried so hard didn't you Naruto? You did everything to make me happy but I wasn't satisfied."

"You loved him so much though," Naruto said in a glum way.

"I though about you the night after you told me you wouldn't annoy me anymore. The things you went through...............like Chouji and Neji's death and bringing Sasuke back for me. You did those all for me and," she could feel her voice wanting to break, "I never cared about you I just wanted Sasuke and never regarded you feelings. Now looking back, you and I were the same, both trying to grasp something that hurt us."

She began to sob and her arms wrapped tighter around Naruto. For awhile Naruto had no reaction whatsoever, he just sat there letting her cry. "Is this how she really feels about me? I want to trust her and but I don't want to get hurt again, but I don't want to see her like this," Naruto thought to himself then sighed.

Slowly he lifted his arms and wrapped them around her and puling her in close to him. Her sobs slowed down until she was only sniffing and she whimpered his named softly, "Naruto."

"Let's go to sleep Sakura, tomorrow is going to be a long day," he said to her.

"Ok."

They both lied back down and Naruto put his arm around her and she cuddled close to Naruto warm body. Sakura looked at his face and smiled. Then she pushed herself up a bit and gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek. Naruto's eyes shot open and his face began to blush.

"Goodnight," she said smiling at him with the same blush on her face as Naruto's and then lied back down and went to sleep soundly.
