Finally….THE DATE…this is gonna be….tough….i prefer action…but I just love the pairing between the two….yeah….so…here we go…

The Date

The doorbell rang, and Sakura nearly ripped her dress as she jumped over a table to get the door. Naruto stood there in his clothes, from earlier, and had flowers with him. He saw her dress, and he thought that it was really nice. Sakura saw that he wasn't gaping at her, and took nice notice at his clothes. Cool...he looks nice...and he combed his hair down...took a bath...NOT WEARING ORANGE!

"Hey orange boy," Sakura giggled. She was surprised, not really, in how much thought he had put into the date, already.

Naruto laughed. "I know...It's a bit wierd...Nice dress...it's almost as beautiful as you are."

Sakura blushed, and she took his arm as he said, "Shall we go?"

Naruto turned red as the two began to walk down the street. I can't believe it...I'm on a date with Sakura-cha...Sakura. This is ...awesome. YEAH! This is ironic...usually I'm the one going "believe it"...Now I can't... Naruto laughed to himself. The night was perfect; there were no clouds. And to make the date even more perfect, there was a full moon.

"Naruto, I have to say thanks for two reasons," Sakura smiled. "One: You took me out on this date, and that took a lot of courage, based on the fact that I usually send you flying whenever you ask."

"No problem...and reason number two?" Naruto asked.

Sakura laughed. "For helping me win a bet. I made a bet that you wouldn't oggle at me. And you didn't, so Ino's gonna pay for our dinner."

Naruto laughed. "I feel bad for her. The place we're going...very expensive. It's a five-star..."

Sakura jumped up laughing. Naruto just stood there, confused. "What?" he asked.

"You just won another bet. I bet that you wouldtake me a five-star," she laughed. "Ino-pig now owes us two dinners."

Naruto laughed. "Let's be easy on her. One date's enough. Besides...she'll be bankrupt after this, alone," Narurto added. "Don't forget my appetite."

Sakura grew stern, "Naruto," she began, "for your sake, you better have good table manners, or I swear, you'll wake up in the hospital." She laughed at the look on Naruto's face. Naruto was all taken back and scared.

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan," he used the term," My table manners are not that bad." Naruto began to break a sweat, " When I try," he whispered. Naruto smiled, and Sakura smiled back. The rest of the trip to the restaurant was silent, as Sakura was leaning on Naruto.

At the restaurant, Sakura looked around and quickly found Ino and Shikamaru. Apparently, they had just got there as well. "INOOOO!" Sakura yelled. Naruto and Shikamaru winced as their dates saw each other.

"Hey, Naruto," Shikamaru smiled. "Congrats. You finally asked her out."

"Yeah, and I couldn't be happier," Naruto replied. "How's Chouji doing?"

"He's doing fine," Shikamaru answered. Shikamaru began to smile. "Did you hear? Kiba and Hinata are going out!"

"Oh my god! Are you serious?" Naruto asked. " I can't believe it. I'm really happy for her. Anyways...o yeah...by the way, did you bring plenty of cash?"

"Yeah," Shikamaru began to ask, "Why?"

"You'll find out," Naruto grinned as Sakura came back from talking to Ino. The two boys couldn't help but grin to each other as their girlfriends took them to opposite ends of the restaurant.

After dinner, Sakura couldn't help but notice that Naruto had eaten dinner...SLOWLY! She began to laugh. This wasn't something people would see everyday.

"Why are you laughing?" Naruto asked, smiling.

"It's just that," Sakura replied, "you ate rather slowly, and with manners." Sakura put her head on Naruto's shoulder, and they began to walk down the road.

This is heaven...Sakura's right here...leaning on me...the moon's out...He paused...you weren't here.

Ha...calm down kid. It's ok. She is quite attractive. Almost as attractive as ...anyways...I approve...be happy, kid...if I didn't-

I still would be out here with her...no matter what...got it?

You got guts kid. Well, good luck on the rest of your date...if you plan on seeing anything...Naruto blushed...Anways...I came here to tell you that I have given you permission to access the ...

The couple arrived at Sakura's house. They had taken a walk all around Konoha, had dinner, and here they were now.

"Um..." Naruto began. "We'r- mph..."

Sakura had pulled Naruto closer and was kissing him. Minutes later, only minutes cause they had to breath, they surfaced. Both of them were slightly blushing. Wow-BOOOO YEAHHHH!

"You really need to learn how to shut up," Sakura laughed. Naruto turned red. "Well...we're her-"

"It's my turn," Naruto interrupted. They were back in each other's faces, and they stayed that way a lot longer.

Sakura was on her bed, thinking. I can't believe it. We kissed again. That was so awesome. That date was...incredible...I hope we go on another one soon. Show's how much you know! We have another date tomorrow...O...yeah... Sakura yawned, and she was asleep before she knew it.
Naruto was thinking everything Sakura was... in his own way, of course. Now...what to get...her bday is tomorrow...geez...I can't believe I didn't get her anything...WAIT! Naruto's face changed into a smile as an...no...it couldn't be...an idea came to his head.O YEAH! She'll love me for this...wait...she already does. Naruto smiled. Then, all of a sudden, he frowned. I think...Maybe...Maybe she doesn't? COME ON! Naruto groaned...
Kakashi had just got home. He had given the bell test to the Yamanichi kids, and to put it simply...he was impressed. He had never seen a group of academny kids work with such teamwork...true, they were siblings, that could acount for it, but he was impressed with every one of them.
