A/N: Chapter 4 is here! I hope you enjoy! Now, please read on. (slight smile)

O-O-O

Naruto had a talk with Sakura on the first day. They did their home works together, in a way, on the second day. Naruto had a change of plans on the third day. He thought of doing something fun instead.

After classes, Naruto, like the other day, quickly packed and waited for Sakura to finish. Sakura smiled to see Naruto excited, yet it was a mystery to her. What could be on her classmate's mind?

"Sakura! Let's go around town today! I can give you a tour!" Naruto said, happily.
"Oh. Okay. Why not?" Sakura agreed, smiling.
Naruto grinned. Nobody could imagine how cute and innocent he looked at that time.

Naruto took Sakura around a lot of places in the village. They went to the public library which was much bigger than the school's library. They went to places like different kinds of shops, beautiful tourist sights and other things like those. They enjoyed everywhere they went, but they weren't quite finish yet.

Naruto held Sakura's hand right after they watched younger children play. "Let's take a walk in the fields."

O-O-O

Naruto and Sakura walked to the top of the hill as the sun had begun to set. They sat on the hill, once they reached the top, facing the bright, red sun set.

"It's beautiful..."

Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakura. Sakura looked at Naruto with a questioning look. "What is it? Don't you think it's pretty, too?"
Naruto smiled and nodded. "Yeah. It's really... nice..." he said, not even looking at the sunset. His gaze was focused on the pink-haired girl, his very own classmate, who looked back at the sun. "You're pretty..."

Sakura jerked her head to look at Naruto. "What?"
Naruto looked at her wide-eyed. "I didn't say anything!"
Sakura smirked. "You're so weird. Do you know that?"
"I've heard of that a lot of times." Naruto said with a wink, making Sakura giggle.

They walked down the hill. From time to time, either Sakura or Naruto would walk faster than the other. The next thing they knew was that they were running, racing to the bottom of the hill. They had fun doing so until all of a sudden, Naruto hit his toe on a rock. Losing his balance, Naruto moved to his side only to hit Sakura and make her tumble, too. The two were now, on top of the other, rolling down the hill, sideways. Not so long after that, they reached the end of their ride with Naruto on top of Sakura.

Naruto shook his head and looked down at Sakura. Realizing what position they were in, he quickly got off his classmate, moved to his side and blushed. "That was too sudden. I'm sorry."
Sakura sat up slowly and quietly. "It was fun, though, getting to roll down the hill, but how we were rolling down..." Sakura started to giggle, "It was funny."
Naruto smiled sheepishly at Sakura.

Dub, dub.

Naruto eyes went wide, and he immediately looked down at the ground, placing his hand on his chest. Sakura looked at him, worried. "Is everything okay, Naruto?"

Dub, dub.

Naruto looked at Sakura with a gulp. He stayed quiet for a moment but nodded. Sakura stood up and helped Naruto up. "Are you sure nothing is wrong? You suddenly acted freaky." Naruto shook his head in response. "It's just my stupid imagination." Naruto looked at Sakura with a smile. Sakura smiled back, slightly, relieved.

Dub, dub.

Naruto stared at Sakura and how she smiled at him. Was there anything more he could ever want other than the girl beside him?

Out of nowhere, a slightly transparent figure appeared on Naruto's side, opposite from Sakura. Naruto looked to his left to see a blond. He looked to his left to see his own self!

"Go and do it!"

Naruto shook his head and looked around. Everything... stopped. Sakura was frozen in place, still with a slight smile on her face. Naruto looked else where to see that the leaves that were just falling off a nearby tree were positioned in mid air. Naruto stared at the motionless leaves in disbelief. "That is just weird..."

"Hello! I, or rather, we don't like being ignored, remember? You're ignoring your own inner self!"

Naruto looked back to his left and the not so transparent figure still there. "Who are you?"
Naruto's look-alike sighed and looked at him with an angry expression. "I just told you! I am your inner self!"
"My inner self?"
"Whatever I am, I'm you!"
"..."
"Do you know what? You're getting high points with this girl! You should go and kiss her!"
"Kiss her? What do you mean kiss her?" Naruto yelled.
"You like her, right? You love her, for whatever anyone knows about love! Kiss her!"

Before Naruto could say something else, his "inner self" disappeared, and Naruto felt something hit his face gently. He crossed his eyes to see a small leaf on his nose. He calmly picked it up from his face and dropped it. He looked to his right to see Sakura's head on his shoulder. He looked down to see that Sakura's arms around his right one. He blushed and looked away.

"Sakura, do you," Sakura looked up at him, "want," Naruto paused, "to eat something?" If this were a play, anyone could hear glass breaking in the background.

From a different world, the inner self of Naruto sat with a popping vein on the side of his head. "What is this kid thinking?" he murmured, grumpily as he watched, through some sort of floating image, as Naruto and Sakura walked back to the village.

O-O-O

At Ichiraku Ramen Bar, Naruto and Sakura just finished their ramen and got off their seats. As Sakura walked to the side of the bar, leaving it, Naruto stared once again as he slowly dragged his feet to follow. Would he really want to kiss his classmate?

Yes.

Yes, he did. Sakura had a nice life, having caring parents and friends. Naruto was a part of her life, now. Naruto would get that kiss in no longer than the last week before the switch of partners... hopefully.

Naruto smiled at the thought and walked a little faster to leave the bar while Sakura was waiting for him.

Bonk!

Naruto stepped backward and blinked, shaking his head to get him out of his thoughts. He had just walked right into the side wall of the ramen bar. He held the side of the wall and moved his upper body to see passed the said wooden thing. Sakura was still there, only this time, she looked a little surprised.

"Are you okay?" Sakura called out.
"Yeah! Yeah. That was the, uh, the wall."
"Yeah." Sakura said, smiling.

Naruto's inner self continued to watch. "Could he be any more of a fool?" he asked himself.

O-O-O

Naruto arrived home no sooner after he walked Sakura home. He turned the door knob to find his caretaker, Yuki, standing there with a smile, probably because he was glad Naruto was back. Now, not every villager hated Naruto. Yuki was by himself, too. His girlfriend died of illness and cancer. He didn't want to go on with his love life, so when nobody wanted to stay with Naruto until he was old enough, Yuki made a choice to take care of the orphan.

"How was your day, Naruto?"
Naruto looked down at the floor. "It was fine." The flush of pink that spread across his face was so noticeable.
Yuki chuckled. "Well now, off to bed, you go."
Naruto nodded and did as told.

That night, he couldn't get his eyes to shut close... But the next day should be fine, right?

O-O-O
