Chapter 2

Together

A/N: when a "♪ "sign is used, this means the character is saying the sentence in a musical tone. get my drift?

"Hmmm♪? Will I use this pink dress or this black dress? or should use my usual red dress?" Sakura talks to herself while holding the dresses and see if it fits well with her in the mirror. She didn't know that her mother was standing right next to the door watching her.

"Its been a while since I see you this happy, did something happened?" sakura's mother happily asked. enthralled that her daughter finally smiles. "M-Mother! How long have you been there!" sakura jerked off after seeing her mother.

Mrs Haruno giggles in excitement. "Not long ago, so what makes my daughter this happy? ….Let me guess you have a date right?" sakura's mother happily asked

"w-well if you put it that way, maybe…" sakura embarrassedly replied. "so who's the lucky guy tell me?" sakura's mother eagerly asked while walking towards sakura.

"h-he's one of my teammates…"

"Is he the one who has a long black haired guy? You know the one that you've been ga-ga since you were little?"

"N-no, the other one….' blushing Sakura hesitantly replied

"the other one…..other one…YOU MEAN THE BOY THAT HAS THE DEMON F—" sakura's mother congested. Remembering that the third hokage forbid anyone to talk about the incident concerning naruto and the demon fox.

"mother?" sakura asked curiously. She was jerked off by the reaction of her mother.

"I wont let you! You cannot come to these "DATE" of yours sakura!" Mrs. Haruno said with authority

"but why mother! What wrong with naruto?" sakura stand up in her bed and came closer with her mom. They look eye to eye for a minute both have a serious look in their faces. Tension started to build up in the room.

"that's final sakura! I wont let you date that boy, he's dangerous!" Mrs. Haruno crossed her arms together and looked at sakura very seriously "dangerous? He's not dangerous, how does he became 'dangerous' mother?" sakura loudly asked.

"you stay away from that boy Sakura or else—"

"or else what? Ground me? Mom, I'm not a kid anymore!"

"I know that! I just wanted you to be safe!"

"But I'm safe with naruto!"

"You don't know him yet sakura..."

"No mother……you're the one who doesn't know him!"

Sakura ran off their house as quickly as possible. She keeps thinking to herself "Naruto dangerous?" he can't be I know he's not!" she just ran and ran until she gotten tired of running. Her feet have got her in a bench near the edge of the village, the same place where he last time see sasuke.

She just sits there from 4:00 to 7:00 she didn't care about the time she just wanted to get away from her mother.

It's getting cold, dark and she forget to bring a jacket along with her. she just only rub her hand to make herself warmer. "Oh- its freezing here…" she started to shiver in cold until someone puts her a familiar jacket, a orange one with a spiral sign in the back "who?" the guy from the back replied with a calm voice "at last I've found you…" sakura then look at the guy that gave her a jacket he see a very familiar figure in the dark

A/N: its dark there and the streets light's was not yet opened

"Naruto is that you?" quincidently the streets light started to opened after sakura asked naruto "who else do you think? I was worried when you did not came to the ramen shop so I go to your house to ask about you then your mother said that you ran away because you have an argument with her, so I look for you…" naruto just looks on sakura passionately. Sakura on the other hand started to gaze-off on naruto, sparkling-background anime style!

"does naruto-kun look's this gorgeous? I haven't really notices until now he's so…"

"sakura-chan? Hey! Sakura-chan are you okay? Hey!" naruto started to get nervous coz sakura just stood the like a stone or somethin sakura gets back into reality "Y-yes! I'm okay don't worry naruto-kun" sakura replied while looking the opposite direction to hide that she's blushing.

naruto sat next to sakura which makes sakura even more embarrassed. both stood silent for a couple of minutes. "Look sakura-chan! The cherry blossoms are falling" naruto said to break the tension "yes… its beautiful" sakura replied while looking up on the cheery tree. Naruto couldn't resist looking on sakura.

"yes it is…" he couldn't stop blushing. he thinks "such scenery… so tranquilize…she's like a goddess that descended from the heaven" sakura then notices that naruto is staring at her.

"what's wrong naruto-kun? Is there something on my face?" sakura asked while smiling mischievously. Naruto quickly looks away, hiding his embarrassment. "N-no there's nothing wrong" sakura giggles coz of naruto's red like tomato face

"What's so funny?" naruto asked narrowing his eyes "nothing!" sakura playfully replied. Both just look at each other for a couple of minutes…. The started to laugh…

"so sakura-chan are you going home?"

"Oh….i totally forgot about that.."

"so are you?"

"…………….i wont if i go home, me and my mother would just only argue with each other"

"so where a you gonna stay for the night sakura-chan?"

"I don't know yet……"

"…………………."

"…………………."

"……………I know! What if I stay at you place naruto-kun" sakura jokily asked

"at my place? Well I could but im sure you don't want to stay at my place sakura-chan"

"well, why not?"

"Because…."

"Well you would just let a lady sleep here at night cold and hungry in this bench?"

"w-well? I don't know"

"and this place….. Reminds me of sad memories" sakura started to feel down

"Okay then! If it is only for one night!"

"Okay! Thank you very much naru-chan ♥" sakura hug's naruto out of excitement

"N……naru-chan?" sakura thinks to herself "oh no! what the hell did I just say?"

naruto chuckled because of the name that sakura told him.

"i… I mean naruto-kun"

"ooookay? we should go now its getting dark sakura-chan"

"okay" sakura stand up form the bench but she suddenly fell because of all running and sitting that she'd done, it makes her feet sore so she couldn't walk

"What's wrong sakura-chan" naruto quickly looked at sakura, checking his conditions.

"My….my leg"

"let me take a look at that…"

"Naruto-kun…"

"this is bad.. its really swollen!" naruto leans down in a piggy-back position

"wha…what are you doing naruto-kun!"

"what do you think? A piggy-back ride of course. You cant walk so I'm carrying you"

"b-but I insist, I can walk.." sakura tried to stand up but "ouch…"

"you see? You cant walk come on cling unto me..."

"well if you insist…" sakura started to lean unto naruto's back

"Sakura-chan?"

"what is it naruto-kun?"

"your much more heavier than I expected"

"WHAT'S THAT AGAIN?" Sakura replied with a narrowing her eyes with a burning pupil.

"n-nothing sakura-chan forget about it hehe…" naruto chuckled.

Both walks into the park, not much people was occupying the place as if there were the only ones there 'literally'. "Thank you naru-chan ♥" sakura said romantically while holding unto naruto's neck.

naruto calmly replied

"don't mention it, by the way sakura-chan we should stop by in the grocery store to buy something to eat"

sakura replied "okay.."
