"It all began during that vacation we took to wave country." Naruto whispered lost in his memories. "Me and Sakura had gone to get provisions in the nearest town and got caught in a summer storm. We made a mad dash for the nearest shelter, which happened to be a cave. She was soaking wet and shivering up a storm. So I gave her my jacket. When the rain let up we got on to the village and bought what we needed. It was a pretty ordinary event. But Sakura later told me that was the first time she stopped looking at me as an immature brat and started see the man in me." Naruto sighed and cracked a weak grin. "Pretty stupid huh?"

Sasuke shook his head and snorted. "You see dobe? A few manners go a long way. So what happened next?"

"Well it was after the exams that she first approached me in a romantic way. I had long ago admitted defeat, and realized I would never have her. So I admired her from a far and contented myself with being her team mate." Naruto paused. His annoying cheeky manner returning quite rapidly.

"But I got her after all! I didn't even come on to her. I was just sitting at home one day minding my own business, and suddenly she's knocking on my door and asking to come in. I could see she was nervous, when she was nervous she had this way of constantly smoothing out her skirt, and it made her look so cute. I asked her in and offered her ramen. We sat and talked; she finally turned to me and asked me if I wanted to do something on friday. Well naturally I said yea. I mean it's not every day the girl of your dreams asks you out. You know?" Pausing to take a breath Naruto glanced around the room.

"So?" Sasuke prompted

"So what?" Naruto turned back to look at Sasuke.

"So what happened next!?!" Sasuke demanded exasperated.

"Okay! Okay! Geez, no need to bite my head off. Jerk!"

"It's your own fault. You can't just start telling a story and stop in the middle! Dobe!"

Naruto sulked for a few moments before a glare form Sasuke made him continue with his tale. "Well, we went out for about six months after that first date. I remember that was around the time you joined Orochimaru so you weren't around to figure us out. We had everyone fooled except Kakashi, but how can you fool some one like Kakashi?!? Some how the man shows up late to every single meeting we've ever had with him. But just when you really, really don't want him around you can't seem to get rid of him. He's like the plague!"

Sasuke nodded in sympathy.

"We first well...er...um...did IT. Right after we got back from the war against Orochimaru. I don't really know how it happened. It was like all the worry and tension of the past months mixed with hormones and, well let's just say it was...WOW!"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke "You pervert I bet you want to know all about it don't you? Huh? Huh?"

Sasuke grunted in irritation, as good as it was to se the blond acting normal it was still annoying. "Dead last shut up and finish the story. Damn it!"

"Meanie." Naruto stuck his tongue out at Sasuke. "Any way where was I? Oh yea the first time. Well after that every thing was normal for like three weeks. But then sakura comes over and she's really upset. Her parents had gone through her diaries. They found out about her relationship with the local MONSTER and where not happy." Naruto stated bitterly.

"They demanded that she break it off with me. She told them they could burn in hell and left. Her parents disowned her and our relationship was made public by her spiteful mother." Naruto glared, and a cold hard heavy look settled over his features.

"But that wasn't all those, abominations Sakura called her parents weren't done yet. Not by a long shot. They spread rumors and gossiped about their own flesh and blood. Tarnished her name and made her as much of an outcast as me. The Hokage was even forced to file an inquiry into her previous lovers, which there where none, because rumor had it she had an affair with the enemy. The dark look that had settled over Naruto's features lifted and he looked lighter, more free.

"Then about two months after she left Sakura found out she was four months pregnant. She was worried about how I would react, but I couldn't have been happier."

Naruto looked up at Sasuke with shining eyes. "Sasuke you can't imagine what it feels like to know you're going to be a father. It terrifying and wonderful at the same time. It's an amazing feeling."

Sasuke grunted at Naruto but smiled a little and replied "Don't go all mushy and romantic on me, please. What did you name the kid anyway?"

"Kiyoko." Naruto mock glared and then smiled proudly. "Sakura named her after her older sister the only member of her family that still acknowledged her. Naruto's demenor sifted subtly he seemed to sadden right before sasuke's eyes.

"After...after Sakura's...death. I talked to Kikyo. She gave me some of Sakura's old diaries. I'm going to give them to Kiyoko so she has some thing to remember her mother by. I... it was like a dream you know? That horrible gray filter of a nightmare, that's what it felt like when they told me they couldn't stop the bleeding. I walked in the operating room and just couldn't believe my eyes. She was beautiful lying there with this fragile little life in hands. She died holding our child, holding my hand. Her sister was there too, Sakura just smiled...and said...that she couldn't think of a death...more wonderful than one...where she was surrounded by her family." Naruto let out a strangled sob and broke down, for the first time since her death he let himself cry.

Naruto clung to Sasuke and cried his heart out.
