A/N: Hello my people! I hope you like my story so far! Some people say that they are surprised that Sakura kissed Naruto couch-dogdemon-cough. I'm not saying any names! Wink! If you look closely in the series, Sakura starts to develop feelings for Naruto! DUH! Enough chit-chat, let's get on with the story. I know I said this would be After-Math but I didn't want it to end so soon! READ ON!

"Um… Sakura. What did you do that for?" Naruto was now standing up, dusting off the wet sand.

"I don't really know. I thought it was the moment to do it." Sakura played with her fingers, thinking about what she just did, in front of her new friend.

"You know, I've been with some girls-" Naruto was hit in the chest by Kagome after her and Inuyasha was done with their scene.

"I mean uh, I've been with a couple of women and they never seem to be like you. You're different. Pink isn't a natural hair color, though. But on to more important stuff. I mean, you've set a goal in life. I maybe the coolest guy in school but that doesn't compare to you."

As Naruto trailed off, Sakura started to blush a deeper pink, almost turning into red.

"And I know you don't like Kagome but-"

"Shhh." Sakura put her finger on his lips. "Don't worry about school or me and Kagome. We're friends now. Can we please just go back to the hotel! I'm hungry. Plus, the fish here is nasty!" Sakura rolled her eyes as she did gestures to express the words she said.

"We can go. After almost losing my life, we better." They were about to start walking, but Naruto stopped. Sakura was pulled back by Naruto grip.

"Come on Naruto." Sakura was tugging on his hand. Surprised, Sakura was now in a hug. She felt a warm tear on her shoulder. Naruto whispered something in her ear.

"Thank you." Naruto hugged Sakura even tighter as more rivers of tear flowed from the watering sapphire eyes.

"Can we stay like this?" Sakura closed her eyes and fell into the love of Naruto.

Across the beach, Kagome and Sasuke were eavesdropping by using Inuyasha's ears.

"What are they saying?" Kagome stared at the two little figures of yellow and pink.

"I really can't hear from this far. Sakura is saying something about staying like something and Naruto is thanking her."

"You can't try a little harder?" Sasuke was all up in Inuyasha's face.

"Let me try." Hinata used a jutsu to see and hear Naruto and Sakura. (I forgot what it was called. Please tell me!)

"They are hugging and are saying what couples would say." Hinata acted like it was a piece of cake.

"How'd she do that?" Inuyasha pointed to the dark navy-blue haired girl.

"In Konoha, we have these things called Justus that we use on our enemies. For example, my Chidori." Sasuke pulled Hinata even closer.

"Inuyasha, you have just been replace by-" Kagome stopped when she couldn't figure out Hinata's name.

"It's Hinata. Nice to meet you. I'm assuming that this is Inuyasha?" Hinata shook hands with Kagome.

"Yup. I'm Kagome Higurashi. Isn't his ears cute?" Kagome fiddled with Inuyasha pointy dog ears.

"I've never seen a person like that. I studied these kinds of things or creatures in the ancient times of Japan. I wonder how you became like this." Hinata studied the ears.

"Well, it's complicated really. Oh look, they're back!" Kagome pointed

"Did she just call me a creature!" Inuyasha's ears glared at her.

"Cool it, Inuyasha. Sasuke, who's you're new friend?" Naruto smiled and waved at Hinata.

"This is Hinata. She is an old time friend of mine."

"Well hello, Hinata. I'm Sakura." Sakura did the same as Kagome.

"Nice to meet you." Hinata just stood there all shy.

"Well, we better get back to the hotel. It's getting dark." Naruto gestured for everyone to come.

"Sasuke, can I come, too?" Hinata glanced at him and looked away quickly.

"Yes! Of course you can. We do have room for you." Sasuke winked at her.

"Let's go!" Naruto checked everything, but this time, he sat in the back because Hinata sat in the passenger seat while Sasuke drove. He pouted all the way while everyone just sighed, except for Sakura, who was blushing and giggling.
