INNER SAKURA - NINE TAILS TALK

Flash backs- inner talking

HIDDEN LEAF VILLAGE

Sakura had just arrived at where she was going to be meeting Ino for lunch and when she saw Ino sitting there looking at her watch when she saw Sakura coming into view she quickly jumped up and waved happy at Sakura and said, "Over here Sakura!" Sakura was embarrassed that Ino had just yelled out her name like that and from the corner of her eyes she saw so men looking at her and were whispering to each other with a blush across their face when she looked at them. She felt that she would be happy if that has Naruto that was looking at her. She then asked herself "Where did that come from all of a sudden."

Sakura continued to walk tot the table and when she reached Ino she sat in the empty chair that was across from the table sat and said, "Hi Ino." A few minutes passed by and they ordered what they were going to eat and then they started talking about stuff and then there was a topic that just got things very interesting and that was Naruto.

Ino sat there drinking when there was a thought that she could not help but ask and that was regarding the battle that they were in recently so she asked Sakura "Hey Sakura do you know what Kakuzu meant when he called Naruto "Kyuubi Jinchuuriki"?. Since you are is teammate all that." Sakura winced when the name that call humans that are like Naruto was said. This did not go unnoticed by Ino and she then said, "Ok you know something about that and it hurt you I am sorry for that but can you please tell me what he meant Sakura." Sakura thought back to time when Naruto told her something important.

Flashback

Naruto and Sakura were sitting near a lake and were just enjoying each others company when Sakura asked Naruto something and that was "Naruto I completely understand if you say no to what I am about to say so here it is. Do you think I can tell Ino what is inside of you because I think she would understand? But I won't say anything if you don't want me to."

She could tell that he was sad and then he turned towards her and then she expected him to get at her for that but he just but a hand on her shoulder and then said, "Sakura-Chan if you truly believe that then I don't mind at all I trust your judgment. I am glad you told me instead of telling her and then telling me it means a lot Sakura-Chan."

End of flashback

She then nodded her head and then Ino was waiting for her to tell her. After a minute Sakura spoke with a serious tone in her voice, "Okay Ino I am about to tell you a secret about Naruto, it is important that you promise me that you won't hate him after I tell you and that I have a lot of faith in you Ino so I hope I am not wrong and this stays between us you got that." Ino was stunned with the serious tone in her voice and then answered "I promise I won't Sakura and I am grateful that you trust me that much to tell me about him and that I will keep it means a lot thanks Sakura."

There meal arrived about ten minutes ago and has they ate she told Ino all about Naruto and she made sure not to talk to loud that the other people in the building could not hear her aside from Ino. What shocked Sakura was that Ino toke the information really well and she wondered why that was.

After she was done Sakura asked Ino something, "Ino I am shocked that you are not freaking out like I thought." Ino looked at Sakura and then said, "Well it is a surprise but it does make sense to why Naruto was hated so much when we were younger and I feel guilty knowing I hurt him and I didn't know why don't you Sakura."

Sakura just nodded her head because she knew where Ino was coming from. She realized as she was walking to meet Ino that she had hurt Naruto more then anyone else when she made him go after Sasuke and all the times she beat him up for how he acted when he knew her better then anyone else aside from her mom.

Ino saw that Sakura was busy thinking when she saw Choji walk by with a salad in hand and she shouted out to him which caused Sakura to snap out of her thought and looked at Ino and Choji. Choji waved at them and walked over to them.

When he got to the table he gave Ino a hug which became more common since there sensei had died. After they broke apart he turned towards Sakura and said, "Well if it isn't Sakura how have you been lately since the mission." Sakura then said, "I am just fine but lately I have been worried on how Naruto is doing I haven't seen him for two days now. I have been a little lonely lately especially when I saw you guys hug. But lately I have been worried on how Naruto is doing I haven't seen him for two days now."

Choji just smiled and so did Ino has he sat on the other chair and he said, "You don't need to worry about his arm he seemed fine when I saw him ten minute ago but I don't know about now that he has those crazy fan girls chasing him and I almost died by them." Sakura eyes just widened and she felt her heart hurt when she heard that and then said very slowly "You just said that he has fan girls didn't you." Choji and Ino both said "yes". Sakura was shocked that they both knew and she didn't and then said, "I have not heard or seen any sign of them when I am with him."

Choji and Ino was laughing there ass off and after they stopped Ino said, "Sakura you don't know about it because everyone of those fan girls think that Naruto and you are going out and they don't want to die because of how strong you are that is why, to top that off everybody things that you guys are the cutest couple and that you guys have done it already." Sakura used some of her chakra and broke her crop sticks and scared everybody else around her. Inside Sakura felt pissed for some reason and said to her self, "How dare those fan girls go after my man!" (Note at this time she didn't noticed what she said to her self but it was how she felt towards Naruto)

She then said to them in a serious voice, "First off me and Naruto are not dating, of coarse we didn't do it and does everybody really think that even Tsunade-sama." Ino and Choji was loving this and said, "Yes they do and I agree with them in the aspect that you guys do make a cute couple and he loves you so much that he trusted you to give away his secret to you he must trust you the most."

At this time Choji was at a lost because he had no idea what was going on. Sakura was shocked and said in her mind and out loud accidentally "I never thought of it that way and I guess that he does but does he really love me like I do for him I guess I will have to find out when I see him next by first telling him I am sorry and then confess how I feel about him." At this she blushed because she released she really does have feeling for him.

They both saw it, and heard it from her and had huge grins on there faces. At this Choji decided to leave at this point mainly because he knew that this was a matter he didn't need to get involved in and left after saying bye. After he left Sakura wondered what made Ino and Choji grin like that.

She turned to Ino and said, "What is with that look Ino." Ino just started laughing because Sakura didn't know what she said in front of them. She calmed down after a few minutes and said, "Sakura I think that those rumors will be true very soon and that I can say for sure by what you had just said." Sakura hadn't said anything did she and then said, "What did I say Ino." Sakura was a little scared because she had no idea what to she said. Ino then said with a happy voice, "Well lets just say that you said that you were in love with him and that you will have to find out through telling him your feelings." She said the next part very slowly to let it all seek in.

At this time Sakura was totally out of it now and her inner self decided to make a appearance now and said, "Well it seems that you have finally said that you were in love him and those were your true feeling I can tell you."

Sakura was a then got angry and said, "I didn't say that and you know it and you have no evidence to say other wise so be quiet." Her inner self had a evil grin on her face and then said, "No I have proof that you said you love him and here it is."

At this she showed Sakura very thing that had happened in the last few minutes and it startled Sakura to know that she had called him her man and that she would tell him her feelings. "Well by the lack of comebacks I guess I have proved my point now. You were just in a state of denial about how you feel about Naruto-Kun. Now that is out of the way I have a question for you what are you going to do the next time you see him."

Sakura then got snapped out of her thoughts by Ino who had tried to get her out of her daze and she said, "HO MY GOD I LOVE HIM!" which was loud enough to wake the living dead. Ino had her hears covered and then said, "Yeah you do and keep it down. Anyways I think you should just go up to him and tell him how you feel and then kiss him to show that you mean it after all you never kissed let a lone dated anybody you virgin. Sakura just nodded and said, "I will keep that in mind Ino it could work and keep it down about me being a virgin will you."

Just then there was screaming of girls coming down the street and they turned around and saw that Naruto was running and he looked like he was in pain because he was holding his right arm and he had a painful expression on his face. When he saw her he said, "Sakura-Chan help me please!"

At this Ino and her got up and walked into the street Naruto was running full speed and ran right into Ino but didn't knock her over and then the girls saw Sakura who looked pissed off and her right hand became a tight fist and rised it high up into the air ready to hurt somebody and looked like she was about to punch the group when they all turned around and run the other way. She then calmed down and said, "Well I guess the rumors were true."

She turned and saw that Naruto looked tired and his arm was bleeding because of the blood coming from the cast on his arm. Naruto was being supported by Ino as Sakura said, "I can't believe them and do chase you while you were injured no less. Naruto please out still while I heal your arm some more okay."

After a few minutes the bleeding stopped and I some more bones back in place. She turned around and wiped some sweat off her brow and then turned back around when. Naruto was moving to give Sakura a kiss on the kiss on the cheek when she turned around and got kissed right on the lips.

SOMEWHERE IN WAVE COUNTRY

The thunder could be heard off in the distance from inside the cave. The leader was sitting in his chair when a his right hand man came up to him and kneed and said, "The connection process is ready to began when you are ready master I know this person will be able to use the seal the right way but first we need a chakra link and the then the one that will but the seal on the bearer."

The leader nodded and said, "Start the connection process now Kira."
