I don't own Naruto at all

A/N: right, here's the next one. This is for the Sakura fans out there. Had to appease them. This one more is aimed to friendship than anything else really.


So Pink

By: Sheltie

Sakura woke up yawning and stretching. She felt good this morning. She hopped out of bed only to yelp a bit due to the cold floor. She muttered to herself to get a rug of some kind though she'd always forget when she went out shopping. She went to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day. Once showered she walked out to the kitchen.

"Morning mom, dad" she said then stopped.

Right, I moved out. I forgot she thought and began making breakfast for herself.

Sakura moved out of her parents home since she thought she was getting too old. She had saved more than enough money to buy an apartment. She got an apartment in a complex that was owned by a retired ninja. That helped not only for security reasons, but that the guy understood the lifestyle she had. Civilian landlords just didn't understand at all. With a former nin as a landlord he'd understand where there'd be periods of time that his tenant would be gone. All he wanted was a note letting him know.

After eating breakfast she cleaned her dishes and headed out. She was on hospital duty.

The day was slow it seemed. She sighed and wondered why.

"So what are you and Kato doing for tonight, something special I hope it is Valentine's Day?" a nurse asked a fellow nurse.

"Oh I don't know. I asked, but he just said it was a secret" the 2nd nurse said.

"Oh, maybe he's going to propose" the 1st nurse suggested.

"Maybe" the 2nd nurse said.

The two kept giggling and chattering as their voices faded off.

It's Valentine's Day, so that's why I guess. Not many want to get hurt and ruin their nights Sakura thought.

This then made Sakura frown. She didn't have anyone special to be with today. She thought back and remembered her childhood and being so overly infatuated with Sasuke Uchiha. Looking back on it she was disgusted with how she acted. But she had changed. She was no longer a fan girl. She was now a proud and strong kunoichi, an apprentice to the slug princess, one of the three sannin, the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade Senju. She had come along way.

As the day dragged Sakura frowned again. Her usual visit of a certain spiky haired blond hadn't shown up. He'd usually come by to chat and bring her lunch or they'd go out. Their relationship had changed since they were genin. Before he was just an annoyance who got in the way of her precious Sasuke, but soon she counted on Naruto and he slowly became a good friend, a very good friend. Someone she knew she could always rely on and count on no matter what. He gave her strength when she felt like she had none at all.

Yes, her friendship with Naruto was quite special to her. She wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

/Scene Break/

Soon her shift was over and Sakura stretched. She was tired. Sure, it was a slow day for her, but that meant she had time to do other things. Fun things like doing inventory and the like. So much fun that was. She headed home tired, she didn't want to think about counting anything ever again. She entered her apartment and stopped. She sensed someone was inside. She pulled out a kunai and made her way in a quiet fashion. She got to her kitchen and froze.

"Naruto, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Eh, hey Sakura" Naruto said with a grin as he was in front of her stove cooking.

"Again, what are you doing here Naruto?" Sakura asked.

"Cooking you dinner" Naruto said.

"Why?" Sakura asked with the tone plainly stating, 'it had better be good or you'll be in the hospital with this kunai shoved up a very uncomfortable place.'

"Because I wanna" Naruto said.

Sakura sighed and relaxed. She was still a bit tired.

"Just sit down, the food should be done soon" Naruto said.

Sakura just nodded and went to the table and found it was already set. There was a vase with a bouquet of pink and yellow roses. Sakura sniffed them and smiled.

Naruto came in serving the meal. They ate and chatted. It was a very casual thing between the two friends.

"Hey Sakura" Naruto said.

"Yes Naruto" Sakura said.

"Happy Valentine's Day" Naruto said.

"Happy Valentine's Day" Sakura said.

The two smiled at each other.
