Author's Ramble: Well, things are going better this time, though I must correct myself, I do have ONE review on my CCS SxS story. (Thank you dbzgtfan2004! Love and cookies to you!) Thanks as well to:
Hlomondodeli Majoribanks- Yay for being the first reviewer! -hands over cookies- It was a little OOC... wasn't it? The original idea was for it to be Shikamaru dreaming, but that just didn't really happen. -shrugs- But thanks anyways! I know I've read some of your stuff... if I haven't reviewed, I'm sorry! -cries and runs off to go review- :)
And yes, I am a NaruSaku shipper, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Sasuke! -huggles Sasuke plushie- I have a surprise pairing for him, because I can be an evil authoress like that. I'll also have a Sakux? coming up for those who have different views of the pairings.
Well, enough of my rambling. You want to read, so I'll let you get to it. Here's Fallen For.
"Hey… Sakura…"
"Yeah?"
"Do you… still… think… about Sasuke?"
I looked up at him in surprise. "What do you mean?"
Naruto just shook his head and turned away. It was then I realized what he really meant.
"Of course I still worry about him, and I want us to go and bring him back." Reaching over, I put a hand on his shoulder, calling his attention back to me. "But if you're asking if I still think I'm in love with him, the answer is no." Smiling, I leaned back a little, looking up at the sky. "I think I've fallen for someone else now." Mentally, I fought down the blush I could feel forming.
"Oh…" The noisy ninja was oddly quiet. I looked over to see him staring at the ground, a confused look settling on his face.
I chuckled a little on the inside and said, "Don't you want to know who it is?"
Turning to me, he let a little of his normally cheerful mask slip. A forlorn, pouty face replaced his normally smiling one, and he stood up. "Not really… it's probably just another pretty boy." He made a move to walk away, but he didn't get far.
As he moved to go, I stood up and grabbed his wrist. "Wait, Naruto, I…"
He spun around, and suddenly his arms were around me, and his lips tickled my ear as he whispered, "Sakura, I love you." He made another move to leave, probably fearing my reaction, but I threw my arms around his shoulders, pulling him close.
"Naruto, you're so silly, you know that?" He took a breath to say something, but I didn't give him a chance. Leaning forward, I placed my lips over his. I felt him tense up in surprise, but it only lasted a second, and he returned the kiss as well. After a moment we broke the kiss, and we were both smiling. "I asked if you wanted to know who it was," I pointed out.
The blonde ninja's cheeks turned pink. "Who have you fallen for, Sakura?"
I leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "I love you too, Naruto."
