Disclaimer: nope! still not mine!

'Alrighty then. Now that I'm home I'm just gonna-'

"SAKURA! DINNER!" The young shinobi let out a long sigh.

"What's for dinner?" Sakura was at the kitchen door.

"Well you're having you chicken teriyaki you didn't eat last night. Your father and I are having take out. We'll be back in a few minutes. Your dinner is already I the microwave. Set it for about two minutes."

"Okay. Bye mom." She waved goodbye to her parents and went and set the timer for the food. 'Well so much for sleep… Now I'm gonna have to wash the dishes. Well at least I can take a nice hot bath after that.' Sakura sat down at the table and rested her head in her left palm. 'Wonder why Naruto was in such a hurry to get home. Maybe he…' Sakura shook the thought from her head. She went and sat on the couch. She turned on the T.V. Just as she thought. Nothing good on. Well for her anyways. There was a show she passed by Kakashi would've loved. The timer went off and she got up. She took out the steaming food and got some chopsticks.

Her parents came back in the middle of her meal. Sakura listened about the last mission her parents went on. Mainly to get out of washing the dishes, but in the end she washed them. After that she went up to the bathroom and started the bath. She slipped in and just sat there enjoying how good it felt.

'Mmm…this is very relaxing. It's making me sleepy. Better get out before I fall asleep and drown.' Sakura stepped out of the bath and wrapped a towel around her. 'Dammit. I forgot to get me some clothes. Oh well, my blinds are closed.' She stuck her head out the door and when she saw no sign of her parents, she darted down the hall to her room. She opened the door to her bedroom.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Sakura looked around and found books on the dresser by the door. "WHO ARE YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM PERVERT!" She began throwing books at the dark figure in her room.

"OW! OW! OW! Stop that!" the figure put its hands in front of its face. Sakura reached her hand on the dresser and couldn't find any more books.

"Damn." She whispered to herself.

"Is it done? Is the book throwing done?" Sakura looked franticly around the room. "Okay now that that's over, can we talk?"

"TALK! I'M IN A FRIKKIN TOWEL!" Sakura stomped her foot. "If ya wanna talk so badly, let's talk about you leaving!"

"Turn on the lights." Sakura looked at the light switch that was on the wall beside her. "Please. You'll know who I am!"

"Why don't you tell me?"

"Fine! I'm-" The lights flickered on and Sakura's eyes widened.

"NAAAARUUUUUUTOOOO!" Sakura slammed the door behind her. "GET YOU ASS IN MY CLOSET!" Naruto only stared at her, scared. "NOW! OR YOU'RE GONNA SEE A SIDE OF ME THAT'S NOT VERY PRETTY!" Sakura pointed her finger at the closet.

"I think I've already encountered that side."

"NOW!"

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Naruto darted into the closet and closed the door.

'W-WHAT THE HELL!' Sakura threw her arms up in the air and went over to her dresser and opened the drawer in the middle on the first row. There she pulled out a pair of pale pink pants and a hot pink shirt. Then she opened the drawer to the left of that and pulled out her underwear. She quickly threw on her pajamas. The pants sagged at her ankles. The shirt cut off about four inches above her knees.

"C-Can I come out now?" Naruto started shifting in the closet.

"Yea. Come out." Naruto cracked the door and stuck his nose out. "You're the one that wanted to come out. Now come out!"

"C-Coming." Naruto stepped out of the closet.

"Let's start this off with a simple question. What in god's name are you doing in my room at seven at night?" Sakura sat on her bed motioning for Naruto to come sit next to her.

"Well…"

"Okay we found your house so you didn't come here 'cause you're lost. Right?" She arched a brow.

"No it's not that."

"Well? What is it?" Sakura was trying to keep her cool. I mean I think you'd want an answer for a guy friend of yours coming to your room at night unexpected. Right?

"You know that's a good question. Why did I come here?" Sakura closed her eyes and clenched her fist. Her eyebrow started twitching. "S-Sakura? Are y-you okay?"

"Yes Naruto. I'm fine!" She bonked Naruto over the head. Very hard might I add. "NOT!"

"OW! Naruto grabbed his head.

"So you're saying that you came here for no reason!"

"Yea…pretty much." Naruto saw her coming in for another hit and jumped off the bed.

"NA-" Sakura was about to jump on him when she heard a knock at her door.

"Sakura? Is everything all right in there? I heard another voice in there? Is someone with you?" Mrs. Haruno began to open the door. Sakura acted quickly and shoved Naruto in the closet and slammed the door, quietly of course.

"H-Hi mom!" Sakura was resting her butt on her heels. Mrs. Haruno looked around the room suspiciously.

"Hi honey. So what was the other voice I heard?"

"Oh you know! I was just talking to myself. Not that I'm crazy, I'm just really bored!" Sakura closed her eyes and put on a fake smile.

"Okay. Goodnight honey."

"Night mom!" Mrs. Haruno walked out of the room and gave a final glance at her daughter.

'I swear that girl get stranger everyday.'

Sakura waited about two more minutes, just to be safe, before she let Naruto out of the closet.

"Naruto. You should be going home."

"Yea…I don't wanna though."

"Huh? Why not?" Naruto went and sat on her bed. Sakura followed.

"Just a little scared." Sakura raised a brow.

"You? Scared? Why?"

"Hey even I get scared! And I'm just a little scared Sasuke will." Naruto paused and then continued. "Kill me when I'm asleep. I don't live with anyone, and I sleep like a rock. So if he were to come in, I wouldn't hear him."

"You've survived so far. What's to worry about now?"

"Just thinking about all the deaths, and that creepy dude in the mask…it kinda grows on ya. I mean they're both scary."

'Creepy dude in the mask? Is that seriously what he calls me? I guess I should tell him. I mean I can trust Naruto, right?' "Naruto there's something I-" Naruto cut off Sakura.

"Sakura can I stay the night?" This question caught her by complete surprise. She looked dumbfounded.

"W-Well I-I d-d-don't know. W-W-Why n-not H-H-Hinata?"

"I don't know her as well as I know you."

"I-I guess s-s-so." Sakura was still shocked.

"Do I have to sleep in the closet?" Naruto pointed to the door across the room. "I've really started to hate that place and I think it likes me as much as I like it." Sakura giggled a little. Naruto gave the door an evil glare.

"No, you don't have to sleep in the closet. I have some extra covers that you can use to make a bad on the floor."

"Where are the covers?"

"The closet."

"So they hate me?"

"I dunno." Sakura shrugged and stood up. She walked over to the closet and pulled down two covers and a pillow. "You have to sleep by the window."

"Why?"

"Because that's the side away from the door. If my mom decides to wake me up or something I don't want her to see you." Sakura threw the covers over the bed.

"Why do you have extra covers? And an extra pillow?"

"In the winter it can get pretty cold and I don't like freezing my butt off, so I keep them there in case I get cold. The pillow is for if I decide I want more pillows." Sakura spread out the big red comforter and threw the pillow at the top. She then threw the white cover on the "bed". "There ya go!" Sakura stood over her masterpiece.

"Thanks!" Naruto gave her a smile.

"We should go to bed. I mean I don't wanna wake up and see a walking Shino head." Naruto laughed a bit and lay down. Sakura went over and turned off the lights.

"Night Naruto."

"Night Sakura."
