Lovers Quarrel

The Date

Another day, another school day with Naruto, Ino, Sakura and Neji all hating each other. Neji and Ino didn't talk or make up after the kiss incident, and Sakura and Naruto never really got along anyway so it didn't matter. All the flirting and using each other to get someone jealous was seen by the poor unfortunate Mimuru who probably could be killed any minute by her best friends if she didn't check behind her back every two seconds. She really wasn't planning on having all this go so out of hand, Neji and Ino was just supposed to go to the concert and the festival with them, flirt a little and then they both would finally give in and tell each other their true feelings. Mimuru was thinking she really should stop this plan and every time she went to talk to Ino or Neji, they both shunned her. Depressed was what she was, and now a loner as well as she walked home by herself.

There was no plans for Sakura or Naruto with their dates/ maybe girlfriend or boyfriend, but they weren't about to go home to see the other one. Sadly they really had no choice, their parents told them this morning they needed to discuss something very important to both of them. So straight from school -not waiting for Mimuru- they both went home. Naruto always in a faster pace and few steps ahead and Sakura purposely slowing down. As they both went inside, they saw both their parents with serious faces sitting in the living room in a gloomy atmosphere.

They both entered with a hesitation to their step and sat on either end of the couch. All eyes set upon them and they gulped in fear. Naruto's father leaned forward and with a stern posture began his speech, "Naruto, Sakura, it's been about six months since you both first started going out and I know you broke up but neither of you have broken your engagement, and from what I know you both have found other people to be with you, is that true?"

They nodded in unison and Sakura's mother now spoke, "Oh ok, now we all think it's best if you really think about it. We want you both to choose if your engagement should be broken up or not. Truthfully we all hope you will not and try to give the other another chance. I think it's best if you both went somewhere today and talked this out then we'll make the necessary arrangements."

Sakura's vein popped, are her parent's that dumb. When breaking up in a teenage relationship, it usually means the people who broke up don't see each other again, it's hard enough living together, but to go on a date with him to "work" it out. Are they on drugs or did she never realize they were that dumb? She was furious, she would not consider Naruto anymore, not after he lied to her. "No! There is no way I'm going to even be with him!" She yelled.

"Hey! Who says I want to be with you? I mean Ino is ten times better a person then you are." Naruto hollered at Sakura, as he felt slightly annoyed and hurt by her words.

"Neji-kun is triple a man then you are!"

"Neji, ha you got to be kidding me! He's a guy with hair as long as a girl and even as silky as a girls. Him being triple a man than me is impossible." Naruto snorted as he laughed at Neji and as Sakura fumed.

They both were ready to rip each other's throats and would have done it too if their parent's didn't push them both out of the house. "Go to the park, and clear your minds, go on a date. When you both calm down, we'll let you back into the house."

Astonished, they stood still until Naruto dialed Tenten's number on his cell and asked to go over, sadly he was rejected and now had nothing to do. Sakura didn't have a cellphone at all so she couldn't call anyone even if she wanted. Naruto looked at Sakura and she glanced at him. "Want to just go on the stupid date so we can go home?" Naruto proposed desperately.

Hm was Sakura's reply and with that they made their way to the park. Once at the park, they both walked in silence around the frozen ground. There was a huge section of the park that turned to ice and little kids went sliding on there. Naruto skated across and urged Sakura to try. Sakura felt his childish behaviour working on her and attempted to skate but fell on top of Naruto until they rolled on the ground and landed with Naruto on top of Sakura, their faces a few millimeters apart. Gasping for her breath, she could feel Naruto's warm hands on hers and his body heat warming her up. She could see his gleaming eyes gawking at her. Her breath tickled his cheek and her small frame fit perfectly below him. The blush creeping up on both of them was bright red as Santa's suit. (A/N: haha from another story.)

Naruto got up and dusted himself and lend a hand for Sakura. When Sakura got up, she tripped and Naruto caught her in time and they watched each other for what seemed like eternity. They walked away as if nothing had happened and what silence they had that was comfortable became awkward. Naruto spotted a bench and a drink machine ahead. As Naruto went to get a drink, Sakura sat down and tried to rub warmth into her hands. He noted that she was cold and pressed the hot chocolate button. He handed her a drink and didn't make any eye contact but chugged his own beverage. She took it regretfully, and sipped it slowly. Naruto sat a fair distance away from her on the same bench and watched the kids in front of him.

"So... how's it going with Neji?" Naruto asked.

"Good." was the one word reply he got.

"I see..."

"How's it going with Ino?" Sakura repeated his question right back to him.

"Good." He said to her as well.

They both finished their drink and Naruto threw it out in the garbage. He got up and scanned around for something to do, he inspected a shop far away and guessed it must be a coffee shop or something. "Want to go get something to eat?" He asked for the second time that day. Sakura glanced in his direction and saw the shop. She skipped towards the shop and smiled, "Sure, but you got to pay, I didn't bring any money." Oh.. she was evil, not only did she not bring any money, she planned on buying the most expensive food or a huge amount. At least going on this date gave her a chance to torture Naruto. She was glad she said yes, since she really needs to annoy someone and take her frustration on something. She skipped all the way to the cute store while Naruto dragged himself inside.

The bell rang as they went and took their seats in the back. Sakura admired the theme of the store, it was all pink and bright colours, it reminded her of a huge cake. She marked her order in her head. When the waitress came over, she told her the huge list that she wanted but found Naruto saying no to every thing she said except the deluxe ice cream, and that is what they ended up having.

A couple of minutes later, an ice cream in a bowl the size of your hand to your elbow was put in between Naruto and Sakura with two spoons. Sakura dug right in because she was hungry enough to eat a horse, and Naruto felt embarrassed seeing Sakura eat more than him, who is a girl and felt like challenging her to an eating contest. Scoop after scoop went into Naruto's mouth until he dropped his spoon and held his head. "BRAIN FREEZE!" He screamed and began kicking the table with an excruciating expression on his face. Sakura spit her ice cream out as she had a fit of laughter surge through her. The other people gave the two a funny look but they were too preoccupied with their own ordeals.

Sakura sighed as Naruto still get making a fuss, "You were always like this, making a huge spectacle out of nothing. At least it's entertaining."

Naruto glared at her as she just smirked,"Hey! I'd say I'm funny more than entertaining."

"Ya, I guess you are."

"Funny, smart, handsome, the greatest guy in the world." He proclaimed.

Sakura snorted at his reply and tried to cover her smile which Naruto picked up on. "Sure, sure you are." She said with sarcasm in her voice. "But we all know what you're really describing, it's me."

He waved off her reply, but in his mind he thought that those words weren't good enough to just describe her, she was so much more. Sakura had similar thoughts to his, but she also thought that he had a way of just making her happy without trying, he could just light up her day. Oh how she now regretted coming. She wasn't about to fall in love with him. Oh how he wish this wasn't the topic and how he would stop thinking of her.

Tapping the window lightly, raindrops starting to fall, after a minute or two, it began to pour outside. They looked at the time which read six o'clock. They paid for the ice cream and opened to the door to the outside. They were attacked by the rain and was now soaking wet. The store was closing up as was every store in sight so they ran towards the park. They both made it to the playground and found a little half circle that covered the ground and stopped the rain. Sakura scrambled under it and Naruto followed.

The space was very tiny, and hard to breath. Sakura's foot met with Naruto's chest and he was thrown forward towards her. Their face was too close to each other and it felt like when they were at the park on the ice, skating. Naruto tried to move his back and get away but was stuck in that position. They faced opposite of each other but Naruto was still gazing at Sakura.

As if something was taking over him, he held Sakura's chin in his hand and brought her lips onto his. He kissed her sweetly and waiting for a response and actually got one. Sakura melted in his embrace and kissed him back. Tongues roamed around each other's mouth until Sakura realized what she was doing. She was kissing her ex when she had Neji and not only that she is kissing the ex that cheated on her. She abruptly stopped the kiss and shoved him off, and before he could react, she slapped him. Her eyebrows furred and her face was in a frown. Naruto held his cheek and his mouth was wide open.

Sakura pushed him out of her way and ran out, and Naruto followed after her. Sakura got pretty far ahead of him and sneaked into an alley and backed up onto something hard. She turned to see three huge drunk guys grinning at her. "Hey, lookkkie here, a real nice lookking girlll." One slurred.

The other two got a hold of her hands and the biggest and ugliest one started to put his hand up her shirt. Sakura was afraid, she was getting raped and there was no one around to help, no one to stop these guys. Tears streamed down and she kicked and screamed. She felt hopeless, and weak. 'None of this would have happened if Naruto had kissed me!!'

"Hey, let go of her! You b!" A booming voice was heard behind Sakura and she titled her head to see her hero. He was drenched and his blond hair stuck to his face, covering his eyes, but she could tell who it was. "Naruto..." She whispered.

"Ha, and who are you little kid to tell us what to do? Is this your boyfriend?" They questioned Sakura. The answer never came because Naruto charged towards the biggest one and threw him on the floor. Sakura had fallen down when the other two began to fight Naruto. Naruto's rage was shown, his face all scrunched up and his eyes bloodshot with anger. He kept pounding his fists into their stomach until the big one grabbed him from the back and threw him on the floor. The other two got on top of him and punched his face.

"Stop it!" Sakura said over and over but it didn't work. After thoroughly destroying Naruto, they got bored with the events happening and left. Sakura ran over to his side and placed his head onto her lap. His face was bruised and swollen and he was unconscious. She cried and her tears awoke Naruto. Naruto tried to smile at her and make her stop worrying but when he is in such a state, how could she not.

"Idiot! Why did you do that? You couldn't have taken care of all of them, you didn't have to do it you know." She said between sobs.

He showed a small grin and muttered. "I couldn't leave you there, what would our parents say if I let you get hurt. Remember I said I would always protect you, and I ment it." With that he went unconscious again.

The rain let up and the moon shined through the dark alley. Sakura had fallen asleep against the wall of the alley with Naruto in his lap. Naruto woke up again and felt a cushiony fabric under his head. When he came to, he found himself on Sakura's lap, as she slept. He smirked, "Stupid... Anyone could rape you if you just slept here and I wouldn't be able to help you." He pushed her hair that was on her face and stared at her tear soaked face. He smiled and began to get her onto his back. He started limping towards his house and he had a deja vu.

'At Lee's house, when he had that party, she got all glammed up and then ended up being in the bottom of a dog pile and in pain. I ended up piggy-backing her all the way home since she was in so much pain. She told me, "Naruto, you're the best, I knew you liked Tenten and yet you didn't say anything. It would be ok to get married to a guy like you or even you." I made some corny nickname like cherry blossom. Ha.. those were the days.'

His face displayed his happiness and pain. He was glad that he got to have this day with her, because he knew he couldn't lie to himself anymore. He was in love in her and she may not love him but he won't give up. He would protect her and keep her safe from anything. It was his duty, his mission now. He thought he could finally move on but he can't, she had too much of a hold on his heart. She came into his life randomly one day, became his fiance and stole his heart. How cruel was the beauty on his back, how unfair was she.

He reached the house and knocked on the door while trying to balance Sakura. His dad answered the door and saw his beat up son and Sakura on his son. "What..." He was cut off by Naruto limping inside and gently placing Sakura on the couch.

"I demand an explanation Naruto. What happened to my daughter?" Sakura's father demanded.

"Naruto, honey, what happened to you?" Sakura's mother asked.

"Oh my god! Naruto! What did you do?!" Mimuru yelled.

All the voices kept making Naruto's mind pound. His body felt heavy and before anyone could react he fell to the ground beside the couch. The last words he heard were his name and people trying to catch him. Finally, the simple small "date" ended and they were both home somewhat safe. Exhausted they both were, but one thing was sure. Mimuru saw that in their sleep they both said each other's name while smiling. 'I guess everything is fine... I don't know what happened but as long you guys are happy.' She tucked them into their beds and covered them with tons of blankets and fell asleep too.

Dun Dun Dun.. the end of this chapter!! I can't believe I wrote two chapters in two days. The wonders that happen when you watch Emma- Second Act (so romantic) and pretty much listen to the random AMV's you have.
