Sakura-…

Disclaimer-I do not own Naruto, and never will. I am doing this solely for all your entertainment and for Kishimoto.

Claimer-I own all my own things. YAY!! ENJOY!!

The day was going off to a good start for Sakura. She sat there, next to Naruto in Language Arts. Her heart fluttered when she would hear his deep, manly voice answer questions. She often found herself staring at him with a flustered face as she observed his features. His thin face made his good looks stand out and she started to think about what it would be to be his girlfriend.

"I wonder…if he's single…I hope he is. No! You have to wait Sakura! You can't just go out and ask him to go out with you! You have to get to know him first!" Sakura shouted at herself. She looked at him and turned her head away from her growing blush. "Great, Hinata's rubbed off on me. Now I can't even LOOK at him without blushing!" Sakura said to herself. It Was true, Hinata had rubbed off and onto Sakura! Sakura had never imagined this to be so immoral before, yet she could very well see that Naruto was indeed attractive as a young man, but she couldn't bring herself to think that he was…well odd. Those dark marks looked like whiskers! It bought out his devilish looks, she thought. She wanted to touch them! She felt her temptations taking control of her as her hand slowly reached out towards the "marks," on his cheeks. She was getting closer and closer to them and her soft, gentle fingers were aching to touch them. Finally! Her fingers touched them! Odd, they felt like REAL hairs! They were thin and gentle. Sakura's fingers felt the soft skin on his face. "They…feel like real hairs…how is it possible? He…he's like a fox…but how is this…how is it ever imaginable!?" Sakura asked herself. While she was thinking to herself, EVERYONE in the ENTIRE CLASS stared at her. Naruto leaned away, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes.

"Uh…does she normally do this?" Naruto asked as he felt Sakura's gentle fingers on his REAL whiskers!

"No, she's usually a…well lonesome person. She's not really that much into touching people or invading their personal space." Ino answered him. Naruto sweat-dropped.

"Uh, well are you sure she hasn't changed?" Naruto asked. Ino shrugged.

"I dunno, but she's been acting weird lately, so that looks normal." Ino stated.

"No kidding." Naruto stated. The grabbed her wrist gently and took it away from her face and looked at her. He saw her blank face and her slightly gaping mouth. Her eyes just stared at him. "Uh, sorry to bother your…uh…'you' time but are you okay?" Naruto asked. Sakura snapped out of it and closed her eyes and shook her head. "Uh…yeah are you going to be okay now and come back from space travel?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him and blushed madly. She turned her head away and put both fingers together, like Hinata did, and started to sweat.

"I…uh…I'm sorry. I just got curious that's all. It won't happen again." Sakura said sweating. Naruto stared at her and touched his cheek.

"Your fingers are…soft though." Naruto said touching his cheek. Sakura flinched and looked at him with a blush.

"T-T-They are?" Sakura asked. He nodded and her heart SOARED like a bird! She smiled and looked away.

"Uh…yeah." Naruto said cocking his eyebrow as she put her fist to her mouth. Naruto looked over at everyone else and shrugged. They shrugged back and Ino cocked her eyebrow. Sakura had been acting…odd, really odd. She'd have to pump what was going on with her out later.

"RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!" The bell went. They all got out of their seats and walked out of the class. Sakura grabbed her books and held them to her chest while Naruto…well he had no books! Sakura looked at him as he and Kishimaru got up and stretched.

"Man that was a hell of a long class!" Naruto shouted. "UWRAAAAHHHG!!" He stretched. Kishimaru made the same sound and Naruto laughed and ruffled his hair. Kishimaru giggled and Naruto chuckled. Sakura smiled as she stared at the two.

"Wow," Sakura started. They looked at her. "You two are two of a kind. You both protect each other and are never alone. I bet it feels wonderful to have someone to talk to all the time." Sakura finished. Naruto smiled.

"Yeah, although sometimes we have our differences and we fight. But I'll still love my little bro either way." Naruto chuckled.

"Same here big brother!" Kishimaru shouted! Naruto laughed and Sakura giggled.

"Hey, why did you touch my cheek?" Naruto asked. Sakura froze and blushed. She looked away in embarrassment.

"I uh…I just…well I umm…(gulp)…it's just that I got…curious?" Sakura asked in the sentence. Naruto leaned back a little. "I'm deeply sorry, I should've known better, you probably think I'm weird or something, don't you?" Sakura said staring at the ground.

"Well it was kinda strange that you just did that outta no-where like that, don't you think?" Naruto asked. Sakura sighed and nodded.

"But still, your hands were soft. It kinda felt a little good having your hands on my cheek." Naruto said. Sakura looked at him in shock! She contained her intimate feelings and turned around. Kishimaru looked at Sakura's back as she tried to contain herself from touching Naruto MORE!!!

"Well big brother, let's go, you're gonna be late!" Kishimaru shouted at him.

"OH SHIT!! I FORGOT!! C'mon!" Naruto shouted. Kishimaru and Naruto darted out the door! Sakura gasped!

"I'd better get going too!" Sakura shouted. She darted towards the door but stopped when…

"THUD!!" She hit something hard and strongly built and fell to the ground, dropping everything! She cringed and looked up, one eye closed.

"Oh, sorry about that." Naruto said. Sakura looked at him in awe!

"H-H-He didn't even budge! I ran at full speed and he…HE DIDN'T EVEN FALL!!" Sakura retorted in her mind. Naruto looked around and bent down and started to pick up Sakura's things. "Oh no, I got it!" She said and started to help him.

"Sorry about making you fall, really sorry about that." Naruto said as he picked up.

"Oh no, that's fine. I should be sorry, I'm such a klutz." Sakura said. She saw her notebook and reached for it. Naruto saw the pink note book and extended his hand to grab it. Sakura touched it and…Naruto's hand touched laid on top of hers. Sakura felt her heart leap and Naruto blushed and looked at her. She looked up and…their faces were almost 4 inches away. They both blushed madly. Kishimaru looked and awed!

"Big brother you fox you!" Kishimaru said smiling. Naruto and Sakura stared eye to eye with each other and Sakura gulped.

"His and is so rough. But yet it's soft and warm!" Sakura said to herself. "If we were only a few more inches closer we would've…oh gosh I can't believe I'm THIS close!" Sakura said. Jus the thought about kissing Naruto made her yearn MORE for him.

"Aw man, jeez this is close. Almost TOO close…WAIT!! WHAT THE FUCK AM I SAYING!! THIS IS AWESOME!! Maybe just a couple'a inches closer and I'll lose my virgin lips for good!" Naruto said to himself. Naruto's face got closer to Sakura's and tilted his head to the side a bit and started to close his eyes. Sakura gulped and thought about what to do!

WHAT'D DO I DO!!! OH MY GOSH HE'S GOING T-T-TO KISS ME!!" Sakura shouted. She swallowed and licked her lips.

"ERM HERM!!" Kishimaru coughed into his hand, getting their attention. They looked at him and saw him with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyebrow cocked. "As much as I'd like to se my brothers first smoochy-smooch, I gotta say that we're, oh I don't know, GOING TO BE LATE!!!" Kishimaru shouted turning his eyes all white. Naruto and Sakura gasped and looked at the clock.

"OH NO!!" Sakura shouted. "I've NEVER been late in my LIFE!" Sakura finished. She grabbed the book from under Naruto's hand and stood up. Naruto sighed in disappointment and stood up.

"C'mon guys, let's go." Naruto said. Sakura darted out the door, leaving Naruto and Kishimaru behind. The two brothers watched her as she streaked down the stairs. "Tch, I've been late for…well I forgot really. Ah well, guess I should at least try this time." Naruto said and put his arms behind the back of his head and walked away. Kishimaru sighed.

"Ya almost got her brother. Sorry, but I can't let that power be unleashed through a kiss. If I hadn't of stopped you…Sakura would've dies right away." Kishimaru said to himself. He sighed and walked down the stairs, thinking about what would've happened if Naruto had kissed Sakura. He walked down the hallway and saw Sakura and Naruto. Apparently Naruto had caught up with her and was, still new here, confused!

"Hey, can you tell me where this room is?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at his schedule and her eyes widened and she let out a small gasp! "What is it!? What's wrong!?" Naruto exclaimed. Sakura's eyes widened more.

"He has ALL of the same classes as me! I must be…lucky! Thank you Kami!" Sakura rejoiced in her mind. "Oh, it's nothing. Well just follow me, I'm headed here myself." Sakura said softly. Her soft voice captivated Naruto.

"Oh…okay……well…shall we…go?" Naruto asked still under the spell of her soft voice. Sakura giggled with a small tint of red across her face.

"C'mon, let's go Naruto." She said. Naruto flinched. His name sounded sweet with her voice. He blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"Her voice, it's so…sweet and pure. I know one thing I've learned today, I love t when she says my name." Naruto stated in his mind. He started to walk after her and Kishimaru caught up.

"Day dreaming about a certain someone big brother?" Kishimaru asked with his hand behind his back. Naruto looked down and saw the small boys face, smiling.

"Well she's certainly…attractive, so why not?" He answered. Kishimaru's eyes lit up!

"That's good big brother! Yay! This is good, this is sweet, big brother's taking someone on a romantic fleet!" Kishimaru rhymed.

"Do you even know what a "fleet," is?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru thought.

"Nope, not a clue smarty pants." Kishimaru said. Naruto had an apathetical look on his face.

"Me neither let's go. And are you getting fresh with me?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru giggled manically! It creeped Naruto out when he did that.

"Maybe, and if I am?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and put his hands out and wiggled his fingers.

"Cause, I think someone needs a little, tickle punishment." Naruto said with a wide grin and a mean eyes. Kishimaru gulped and turned around on his heel before…

"RUN AWAY!!!" Kishimaru shouted!

"I'm gonna get'cha!" Naruto hollered after him and ran! Kishimaru ran with his arms flailing behind him! Naruto sprinted as Kishimaru ran like a maniac! He turned a corner and saw the Science room!

"SWEET! FREEDOOOOOMMMMM!!!" Kishimaru shouted! He ran to the door and opened it and ran inside, Naruto following RIGHT BEHIND him! He ran inside and saw Kishimaru sitting at a desk, he ran over and started Kishimaru's "punishment" as said before. The little boy SQUEALED in laughter as Naruto laughed and tickled him madly! "B-B-BIG BROTHER!!! S-S-STOP IT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! PEOPLE A-A-ARE (Squeal!) STARING!!! (Squeal!)" Kishimaru laughed. Naruto looked around, and he was right, people were staring at them as if the say 'What the fuck!?' Naruto sweat-dropped and stopped. The little boy panted and breathed. Naruto smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"Well, shall we get started!?" Naruto asked opening his arms wide! Everyone just looked.

"(cough) loser (cough)" Naruto heard a male voice (Kiba).

"Tch, looks like some of us can't grow up, can we?" He heard again, a valley girl voice (Ino).

"…loser…" Naruto heard again, but this voice was cool and calm, yet bitter and cold (Do I need to say who it is?).

"(Sigh) What a idiot." Naruto heard an apathetical voice.

"Even I'm not that immature." He heard. Naruto blushed in embarrassment.

"Awe, how sweet." He heard a soft voice. Naruto perked up to see Sakura, smiling.

"W-What did you say?" Naruto asked. Sakura giggled.

"I said that, that was sweet how much you and your brother share such a strong bond. I think it was really good to have someone lighten up this class." Sakura giggled. Naruto blushed with a tender smile on his face.

" I like her big brother. Cause the rest of 'em are all twits." Kishimaru said…OUT LOUD!!! O.O Everyone glared at them both and Naruto gave them all a FRIGHTENING STAR BACK!!!

"You got a bone to pick with my brother you sort it out with me. Just to let you know, I've NEVER lost a school fight in my life. I kicked some guys ass when I was only twelve, and I'm pretty sure he was sixteen. So, don't fuck around with me." Naruto said.

"Looks like we got bad ass in the school, eh?" Naruto heard a strong voice. He looked over to see a man with orange hair and a black jacket on, leaning back in his chair with his feet propped up on the desk. He had a toothpick in his mouth and moved it from side-to-side.

"Yeah, I might be. And you're what? The school pussy?" Naruto asked. An eruption of awes and ooes filled the room. The orange haired man got up and walked over to Naruto and confronted him face-to-face.

"What was that, punk?" The young man asked. He had a big chin and small eyes, and his cheeks were VERY thin. He wore blue jeans and black shoes that looked like they were polished.

"You heard me." Naruto retorted back.

"Naruto don't." Sakura said. Naruto looked at her. She had a sorrowful look on her face, like she did something.

"Why not, he's not so tough." Naruto answered coolly. Sakura gulped, and Naruto heard it.

"Listen to that girl boy. She'd tell you EVERYTHING, because she's a little bookworm." The man said. Sakura looked down and put her hands in her lap. It was true, she read a lot.

"Tch, that might be a bit true, but hey, she's sure a hell of a lot smarter than some piece of shit like you." Naruto stated. The young man moved the toothpick to the right side of his mouth.

"Wanna settle this outside?" He asked. Naruto shrugged and looked around.

"Dunno, we can always settle this at the kitties playground where you were raised. Oh and do those jackets come in men's size?" Naruto asked. Everyone laughed.

"SHUT UP!!" The orange haired young man shouted! They all stopped laughing. "You think you're so tough, then we'll settle this AFTER school. Little bitch." He said.

"Tch, I been called worse than that, you poor little fuck." Naruto stated smoothly.

"We'll see about that after I send you to the hospital on a stretcher little pussy." He said and walked away.

"Yeah right…like some piece of trash like you is gonna do anything to hurt me." Naruto said and sat down next to Sakura. Sakura's eyes widened!

"Naruto…" Sakura started. He looked at her and saw her shocked expression.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked. Sakura gulped.

"What were you thinking?" Sakura asked. Naruto shrugged.

"Dunno, why?" He answered. Sakura stared at him.

"Naruto, they call him "Killdozer," Sakura said. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and almost fell out of his seat laughing!

"Tch, that's a gay name!" Naruto shouted. They all heard it and started to whisper.

"Shh! Naruto they call him that because he's…sent everyone he's fought into the hospital using a move called, the "Killdozer" Sakura explained. Naruto cocked his eyebrow again.

"And why should I be scared?" Naruto asked. Sakura whimpered a bit and held both arms.

"Well, I heard he was…a psychopath, and has tried to kill other students who challenged him in the past. I think he's actually succeeded sometime around when I was Freshman here. It was, horrible news." Sakura said holding her arms. Naruto stared at her.

"Really? Well, this should be fun." Naruto said with a grin. Sakura gulped. Naruto looked at her and could feel her uneasiness. "Hey, what's wrong? I've gotten into fights with people bigger than him! He looks like a shrimp compared to what I've fought." Naruto explained. She looked at him and saw his reassuring smile.

"Are you…sure?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"Hey, I'm six-foot-five, I've fought people nearly seven feet tall. But they've all proven to be all but strong and tough. Mostly a bunch of pussies if you ask me." Naruto explained. Sakura stared at him. His tanned golden skin shone in the sunlight that entered the room. She started to think about him.

"His…skin, it glows! He…looks like a god! But he's going to get in a fight!" Sakura explained to herself. She was worried about him beyond comparison! She didn't want him to get hurt! She…she wanted him to be in one-piece, not 200! It was already his FIRST day of school and he was ALREADY pissing people off! She gulped. "I…I'm just worried about you that's all." Sakura said staring at the desk. Naruto looked at her and saw her sympathetic look. He grinned foxily with his eyes closed.

"You don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine, I promise." Naruto stated. Sakura looked at him and Kishimaru gasped! Sakura looked at Kishimaru and saw his surprised face!

"What's wrong with you?" Sakura asked.

"Whoa, big brother promised you! That means he'll do ANYTHING to make it come true! You're a lucky girl! Big brother ALWAYS tries to fulfill his promises!" Kishimaru explained. Sakura looked at him in shock and gave a small gasp, and then looked at Naruto, who was lounging back in his chair with his arms crossed across his chest and his eyes closed with a smirk.

"Is that true?" Sakura asked. Naruto just nodded. Sakura looked away forward to the chalkboard. "Could he REALLY promise that?" Sakura asked. Her brain was saying both "yes," and, "no," at the same time, but her heart said, "YES!!" She clutched her heart and sighed. Naruto looked at her and she looked back at him. He gave her a confused look as to why she was clutching her hear and she let go.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Sakura looked down at the ground and sighed.

"I'll…be fine…just try and be careful, okay?" Sakura asked. Naruto sighed.

"Alright, I will, does that make you happy?" Naruto asked a little paranoid. Sakura smiled and nodded.

"It makes me really happy, thank you." Sakura stated. Naruto looked at her and tilted his head in interest in Sakura. He had NEVER been thanked before! NEVER!!! It was new to him as he made a smile grow on his face.

"You're welcome…" Naruto replied deeply. Sakura flinched at his DEEP voice and blushed. For some reason she couldn't stop blushing at him. It embarrassed her. She smiled back at him and he gave her a reassuring smile. She felt a little better, but was STILL worried about him nonetheless! Class started and Sakura kept eyeing Naruto from time to time, just to make sure he and Killdozer weren't exchanging glares. Luckily she was right, they didn't even look at each other the ENTIRE TIME!!! Class went smoothly and the bell had rung. Sakura hurried out the door and waited for Naruto to come. She saw Killdozer walk passed her and eye her. She shook in nervousness and started to sweat. She looked and saw people pass her and FINALLY Naruto and Kishimaru. Naruto looked at her and saw her sweating. "Hey, you alright?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him.

"What'd you mean?" Sakura asked. Naruto studied her and saw the small beads of sweat crawling down her cheek.

"You're sweating uncontrollably. Something happen to you?" Naruto asked. Sakura sighed to calm her nerves.

"I just get this way when (gulp) Killdozer looks at me. For some reason he's always sending me glares. He scares me, I don't think I can even walk home alone without him breathing down my neck. What if he breaks into my house and…beats me?!" Sakura asked. Naruto leaned back a bit.

"Whoa, okay listen babe, I know he's not tat stupid to hurt a girl." Naruto stated. Sakura flinched when he called her 'babe,' she felt a bit more comfortable, but still had to tell Naruto about the guy.

"Come, I'll tell you about him while we walk to class." Sakura said. Naruto shrugged and walked behind her. Kishimaru sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I wonder, how many fight has big brother gotten in?" Kishimaru asked. He thought and smiled, standing there straight. "I'd have to say well over a BAZILLION!!! YAY BIG NUMBERS!!!" Kishimaru shouted and ran after Naruto.

"Okay, now tell me about this guy Killdozer." Naruto said. Sakura gulped and nodded. She looked around and made sure HE wasn't stalking them.

"Well, to sum things up I don't think it'd matter if it was a girl. He'd fight anyway. He got in a fight with his girlfriend once, and went psychotic! I heard that he killed her and buried her body somewhere in the mountains. It makes me so nervous!" Sakura said shaking a bit, Naruto stared at her as she shook. She was shaking from fear he knew. He sighed.

"So, he's a giant pussy, who hurts girls too, eh? Tch, how low could you get? Knowing you're far stronger than another person and fighting them till death. Unacceptable." Naruto stated. Sakura didn't look at him and he stared at her. "Do you…have trouble sleeping at night?" Naruto asked. Sakura's eyes widened and gave a small gasp!

"How could you tell!?" Sakura exclaimed. Naruto sighed.

"I could tell by your eyes. You have black circles underneath them. You live in fear of him, don't you?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded. Naruto stared at her.

"Yes I do. We all do. We're all afraid he might go psycho on us all one day, and then kill us all! I heard he has weapons in his house. I also heard he walks around the village grounds at night. I lock my door extra just in case and I hide a kunai under my pillow for protection." Sakura explained. Naruto gave her a sympathetic look. "I just…don't feel comfortable around him, that's all." Sakura stated.

"I see, well I'm going to sort this whole thing out, whether or not he's going down." Naruto said pounding his fist in his other hand. Sakura could only stare at him.

"Naruto…" Sakura started. He looked at her.

"Hmm?" Naruto hummed. Sakura couldn't believe she was about to say this.

"I…still don't think you should fight him!" Sakura stated. Naruto's eyes widened.

"But why not!? I mean look at you! You can't sleep at night, you live in fear of him every single fucking day and you let him walk all over you and glare at you! You probably give him your things when he wants 'em and he probably bosses you around, right!?" Naruto exclaimed! Sakura looked at him and he stared at her with his eyes wide and his arms spread out.

"I just don't thi-" Sakura was cut off.

"Look, I'm fighting him and that's it! What'd you want me to do, skip the fight!?" Naruto asked.

"It's be better than starting one. Once one starts with a psychopath it never ends!" Sakura explained. Naruto scoffed at her.

"Tch, I swear, nothing's going to happen!" He shouted. He was getting a little pissed with her. Sakura could feel Naruto's anger rising and looked at the ground.

"I just…care about your safety, that's all." Sakura explained and began to walk away. Naruto watched her. He was shocked by her words.

"She…cares about me and my safety? No-ones ever cared about me, never." Naruto stated as he watched her walking away. He looked down at the ground.

"Big brother," Kishimaru started. Naruto looked at him and saw Kishimaru's sad look. "I'm…starting to kinda agree with her. Sorry but…I don't think it's worth it trying to fight him. Besides, I think she cares about you enough to try not to get you into a fight." Kishimaru stated.

"What so you're taking her side now?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru sighed and looked down at the ground.

"Sorry big brother. But, you know me. I just don't…(sigh)…like to see some of these things. I think you should just…call it off for another time." Kishimaru said and walked away. Naruto stared at him gaping. Kishimaru had always cheered Naruto on, but now he was…thinking the opposite way!? Naruto watched as Kishimaru walked away and sighed before following. He caught up with Sakura and Kishimaru both. Sakura said nothing nor did Kishimaru. Naruto stayed right behind them. He was thinking.

"Should I cancel the fight? But that'd be chickening out! I can't let my reputation slip! But then again they're both worried about me. Could this dude be that strong? Well I might think about it further." He said with a small sigh. He looked forward and saw the next class. He walked in behind Sakura and Kishimaru. Woodshop was a BLAST for Naruto! He found out that he could make A LOT of things! Naruto started with a mall mirror that had the image of a fox on it. He made the fox orange with black ankles and wrists and white paws. The ears were black and the eyes were a crystal blue. He smiled at his work and showed Kishimaru, who rejoiced in it! Sakura seemed to like it too, but she didn't talk to him much, but gave him a nod for a good-job. The period went by FAST and they were on their way to Gym class. Sakura hadn't really loved Gym, but at least it kept her fit! They were all running today, since Gai was a bit tired of the other stuff they did. Sakura ran around the track and looked around. Everyone was having a good time and she smiled. Only, bad thing was that she didn't watch where she was going and TRIPPED!! She fell to the ground and scrapped her knee, elbow and palm, BADLY. She felt the stinging come FAST and turned over and look, to see blood dripping down her leg and arms. She looked at her palm and winced. Naruto was running, nearly on his LAST lap when he saw Sakura, sitting on the ground. He was ahead of her, but he decided to go see what was wrong. He ran over and saw her leg, elbow and palm. "Are you okay!" He asked as he kneeled down and helped her up. Her knee was bent a bit and her elbow and knee stung BADLY when she tried to move them, not to mention her palm hurt like hell when she tried to close it.

"I'm…fine. I just…tripped was all." Sakura said. Naruto sighed.

"Can you walk okay?" He asked. Sakura tried to walk but almost fell again if Naruto hadn't caught her! He wrapped his arms around her back and caught her smoothly before she fell. She waited for impact, but it didn't come! She opened her eyes and saw that a pair of HUGE arms were wrapped around her and holding her back. She looked to see Naruto, bending his leg as he caught her. She had a small tint of red cross her face as Naruto sighed.

"Looks like you did do something. Let me se that scrape." He said and took a look. It was more than he expected. She had a HUGE gash in her knee! Apparently she had landed RIGHT, DEAD CENTER, on a SHARP rock and it had made a huge gash in her leg! Naruto sighed and looked at her. She was wincing a bit. "Well, looks like I'll have to help you I guess, seeing as though you can't walk without falling." Naruto said.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked. Naruto smile and wrapped his arm under her legs as he told her to arch them. She gasped as the pain came back FULL THROTTLE!!! Naruto held her back and picked her up. She blushed a bit, but it ended when she winced in pain. He carried her bridal style to Gai.

"Well, what to we have here Ms. Haruno?" Gai asked.

"I tripped and landed on a sharp rock and made a huge gash in my knee." Sakura said. Gai sighed and put his hands on his hips.

"Well then I guess you'll have to go see the nurse. Although I don't know why you can't use your chakra to heal it yourself." Gai said.

"The wound's too deep." Naruto stated. Gai and Sakura looked at him in shock! Naruto looked at Sakura. "The wound wont heal up with just using chakra, it's too deep. She has to se medical attention. Now I'm gonna drop her off at the nurses office." Naruto said. Gai sighed and nodded.

"Alright, you can go now." Gai stated smiling. Naruto nodded and walked, with Sakura in his arms, to the nurses office.

"I tell ya, you are a klutz aren't cha?" Naruto said smiling. Sakura groaned and Naruto laughed!

"Well, I can't help it, I was thinking about…well after school." Sakura stated. Naruto stared at her and said nothing. She knew he was still a bit angry with her for arguing against his decision, and knew she couldn't stop him. She was going to go straight home after school ended, no matter how much she wanted Naruto to be safe. That was, if she could make it.

"Why are you so…worried about me?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him in surprise! She thought and bit her bottom lip. He waited for his answer patiently.

"It's just…well I don't want any fights happening. Everyday there's ALWAYS a fight, and I'm always there when it happens and see someone get hurt seriously. I know I heal them, but I can't help but know that this is because…well it's hard to explain. I just don't like fights and I leave it at that." Sakura explained. Naruto nodded.

"I see, and I guess I'm fighting the "head Honcho" of the group?" Naruto asked. Skaura shook her head.

"No, Sasuke's the biggest in our school, but he's quiet and doesn't go around challenging others. Killdozer tried to beat Sasuke, but Sasuke beat him, and now Killdozer's angry. So he'll fight anyone if it means killing them!" Sakura explained with a small shout at the end. Naruto looked at her as she shifted uncomfortably in his arms.

"I see…but…are you REALLY that worried about me?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded and looked him straight in the eye.

"Yes, I am." She said plainly, but a little scared. Naruto said nothing and sighed. They reached the nurses office and Naruto walked in and sat her on the bed. He smiled and walked away. "Wait," Sakura said. He stopped and looked at her. "Could you please…stay with me?" Sakura asked. Naruto turned all the way around and looked at her. She looked at him as she laid there.

"Is that really what you want me to do?" Naruto asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well, Killdozer usually comes in here often, to check and see if anyone's in here to…well let's just say he likes to finish what he started, and anyone who's in here when he's in here, isn't exactly safe." Sakura explained. Naruto looked at her.

"Are you sure about this?" Naruto asked. Sakura was about to answer when they heard the door open. Sakura looked and gasped! Naruto looked and a scowl crossed his face. Killdozer had entered and saw Sakura on the bed. He eyed her and started to walk towards her. Naruto put his arm in front of him and shook his head. "Nuh uh buddy. She's a girl, hurt a girl and you're just as weak as everyone else." Naruto stated. Killdozer glared at him wickedly, and Naruto sent him a bone-chilling stare of some sort. Killdozer ACTUALLY BACKED AWAY! Killdozer back away and struggled to reach the door-knob as he gulped! Sakura was in shock! What was Naruto doing!? She looked at Naruto as he raised his hand and her eyes widened.

"His nails, they…THEY GREW!!!" Sakura shouted in her mind.

"Now, I'll give you till the count of five to submit defeat. Once I reach five, nothing will stop me from ripping out your inyards and spreading them all over the walls of the school. And, if you live, let me tell you something…if you ever, EVER hurt a girl, I'll kill you personally and hang your body from the flagpole outside and let the wind carry your blood and soul to the depths of hell where you will rot for all eternity." Naruto said. His voice deepened DRASTICALLY!!! Sakura was frightened by this change in his voice! Killdozer struggled to reach the knob, cause from where Sakura was standing, he was about ready to shit his pants. Naruto gripped the door-knob and gestured him out. He IMMEDIATELY RAN OUT!! Naruto closed the door and Sakura looked at his hands, they were…normal? Sakura blinked twice and saw normal tan hands!

"It must've been my imagination, yes that's it! No one could actually do that!" Sakura said to herself. Naruto turned around and looked at her and smiled. "What did you do?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, well I just gave him a small taste in what my power REALLY was, but don't worry about it. I'm sure he won't EVER bother you again. And just to be safe, if it makes you comfortable since you're ALWAYS complaining, I'll walk you home if it makes you, well stop complaining." Naruto said with a smile. Sakura's eyes lit up and smiled.

"Naruto,"

"Hmm?" Naruto hummed.

"Thank you, that's really sweet of you to do that." Sakura said. Naruto's face lit up bright red. Sakura giggled as he pulled up a chair, turned it backwards and sat in it, laying his arms on the back support coolly. Sakura gave him a sweet smile and he gave her a grin. The nurse came in a few minutes later and saw Sakura and walked over to her.

"My my, look what happened to you." She said. She was young and had silver hair. She wore a nurses outfit that fit tightly around her and a small nurse had. She had long nails that were painted red and wore black shoes.

"Yeah, I kind of fell while running outside in Gym." Sakura explained. She cocked an eyebrow and looked at Sakura's knee.

"What were you doing, playing knee soccer with stones?" She asked checking the gash. Sakura winced and Naruto watched. "My lord, I tell ya, you kids are always getting into some kind of trouble, aren't you? You're all turning into lunatics these days." She said. Sakura chuckled lady-like and Naruto smiled. The nurse treated the wounds VERY quickly and bandaged them up. "Okay, you'll have a hard time walking, so why don't you get your tuckas to lunch young lady. And you, make sure she gets to lunch okay. We don't want anything else getting scraped." The nurse said. Naruto waved her as she left.

"Will do. Well, c'mon, let's go. I gotta get my locker number after I drop you off." Naruto said. Sakura nodded and Naruto helped her up. She slowly stagger up and Naruto held her up, well actually he let her support herself by gripping his arm. Sakura gripped a bit harder as she limped. She felt something bulging underneath. She moved her thumb and could feel something underneath.

"I wonder what this is? This CAN'T be muscle. It's too big. What does he do, put weights on?" Sakura asked. She looked at Naruto, who walked along, staring straight. Naruto felt her staring at him and looked.

"What? Something wrong?" Naruto asked. Sakura snapped out of her daze and shook her head. Naruto cocked an eyebrow. "So where's the lunchroom anyway?" Naruto asked. Sakura pointed forward and Naruto looked. He saw double doors and sweat-dropped. "Whops, it was right in front of me." He said. Sakura giggled and Naruto sighed. "Well, here you are…uh…sorry but I never got your name. I uh…well I've been a bit closed minded lately. May I ask your name?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, no I'm sorry. My name is Sakura, Sakura Haruno." Sakura introduced herself. Naruto smiled.

"Sakura eh?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded with a sweet smile. "That's a beautiful name. I like it. Glad to meet ya." Naruto stated. Sakura flinched a bit as she heard him say her name was beautiful. She gave a tiny tint of red.

"Wow, I'm like HINATA'S TWIN!! But, he's so nice. He's a gentleman." Sakura said to herself. Naruto grinned and grabbed the door handle and opened it. He gestured her inside and she smiled and nodded.

"Thank you" She said. Naruto held her arm as she limped inside and followed her. He helped her to a table and got her a lunch. He then walked out of the cafeteria. As he walked out he looked at Sakura, happily eating a chicken sandwich with a soda.

"Maybe I might have a chance after all." Naruto said to himself and walked to go get his locker combo. Sakura sat at the table, eating her lunch. She swallowed and took a small sip of her drink. She started to think about Naruto.

"Wow, he's so polite. He even bought me a lunch. Bless his heart, I'll have to repay his someday. Why can't everyone else just be like him. Strong, polite, manly and intimidating for one. I can't believe Killdozer back down with Naruto just staring at him. Naruto must be some guy to do that so quickly. Those claws, they were…inhuman. It's like they were a set of demonic claws or something. I can't believe that happened." Sakura said to herself. She shook the thoughts off from her mind and sighed. "No matter he's still sweet to buy me lunch. I'll have to treat him to Ichiraku's ramen sometime." Sakura said. She giggled at the thought of Naruto going NUTS for ramen. Although, she had her doubts he'd like it. But she didn't know him THAT well anyway. She continued with her lunch and smiled.

"RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!" The ball rang. Sakura sighed in disappointment. Her peace and tranquility would soon be interrupted by other people screaming and shouting to get their food. She saw the door swing wide open as people entered the room. They first saw her and she turned away from them. She wasn't, in case Naruto hadn't noticed, THE MOSE POPULAR girl in school. People didn't really like her much because, well she was a bookworm and even she knew it. She grabbed her tray and walked away with dignity. She saw Ino and friends staring at her. Sakura took this time to bask in the glory. She smiled and stuck her tongue out at Ino. Sakura has ALWAYS been last in front of Ino, since Ino had a man and she didn't. Ino got EVERYTHING before her, but now the tables had turned! Sakura got her lunch and here first, so she was ALMOST even with Ino. She sat at a different table and continued to eat her lunch. Ino crossed her arms.

"Just because you got here first doesn't mean anything. I mean ANYONE can buy a lunch. Besides, at least I have Shikamaru." Ino said out loud. Sakura looked at her and smiled.

"I didn't buy this lunch. Naruto bought it for me. He's so sweet. He's got a personal seat beside me." Sakura said patting her left side of the seat. Ino was flabbergasted! The NEW kid bought that lunch for Sakura!? Ino felt furious and Sakura could never know why. She shrugged and turned away, grinning. She felt good now as she ate her lunch in silence. Ino crossed her arms.

"Hmmph!" She pouted and walked away. Ino was the MOST popular girl in school! Sakura's rival. Ino was her best friends at ONE time, but Ino's popularity made her act like "The Center of the Universe," and Sakura didn't take kindly to it, so Ino and her friendship turned into rivalry. It was once over Sasuke, but now he fell out of their favor, which was a HUGE RELIEF for Sasuke who could walk around without being stalked by them. Sakura had always known Sasuke didn't really like her THAT way, but she just wanted to make Ino mad after their friendship ended and turned into rivalry. But in any case, Ino and her just didn't mix, and that was something that didn't bother them a BIT. Sakura happily ate the lunch Naruto bought her and wondered.

"I wonder when Naruto's getting back." Sakura asked herself. She looked at the clock and sighed. She kept eating. 10 minutes later, Sakura had finished her lunch and was reading book when she heard the lunchroom door open. She looked and her eyes lit up! Naruto and Kishimaru walked in and looked around. Sakura waved to them and they saw her and smiled. They walked over to her, being watched by Ino in bit jealousy.

"Hi Sakura!" Kishimaru shouted and gave her a hug! She giggled.

"Hello Kishimaru. Well are you two going to get some lunch. Come back and it with me." Sakura said smiling. Naruto nodded and looked around. He saw everyone was sitting AWAY from Sakura.

"Hey Sakura, how come you're sitting alone?" Naruto asked. Sakura gave him a sad look and stared at the table.

"It's just that, well, no-one really likes me to start off and well…I'm not really that popular in school. Does it bother you?" Sakura asked. Naruto cocked is eyebrow and stared at them. They stared back and Naruto waved them off.

"Well, we're all different. You got me and squirt here any way's Sakura! C'mon, let's go get some lunch squirt." Naruto said and waved him along. Kishimaru nodded and followed. Sakura giggled putting her hand to her cheek. They were two of a kind. Sakura looked at her book. Ino stood up.

"Where're you going?" Kiba asked.

"I'm going over and seeing what forehead's problem is with that new guy." Ino answered. Shikamaru sighed.

"Man why do you want to know what Sakura and Naruto are doing anyway?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah, I mean Kishimaru gave me one HELL of a headache! I think it's coming back soon too!" Kiba shouted back rubbing his head. "Hinata, give me some more aspirin will ya?" Kiba asked. Hinata nodded and dug in her bag and found some. "Thanks…" He groaned as his headache came back. Ino grunted and looked at Sakura.

"Okay, be right back." Ino stated and walked over to Sakura.

"I give her two minutes, and other offers?" Chouji asked, stuffing his face with chips.

"Ah, I guess I'll give her a few minutes." Tenten stated.

"I give her a few seconds." Neji said. They all looked at him.

"I tell ya, you're one cold dude you know?" Kiba said. Neji crossed his arms.

"So, I just don't think Ino will get very far. That's all…" He said and remained silent. Shino cocked his eyebrow and they all watched the show. Ino walked over to Sakura and sat down next to her.

"Sorry Ino, but unless you came to talk about regaining my friendship, then you're disturbing my personal space. Besides, that's where Naruto's sitting." Sakura said, not looking up from her book.

"Oh you're so funny Sakura. So, what's he like?" Ino asked. Sakura didn't look up.

"He's a perfect gentleman. He bought me lunch and he helped me when I scrapped my knee in the dirt. He's what everyone should be like, but I guess there're only a few of people like him out there I guess." Sakura explained. Ino gave her a scowl, but smiled.

"I see, so have you asked him yet?" Ino asked. Sakura kept looking at her book.

"I'm not going to rush my relationship Ino. Besides, I want him to know I'm okay that he's here for me." Sakura stated. Ino cocked and eyebrow.

"Really, well then if you want to know. You'd better get him quick, because a man like that only comes around once a millennium." Ino said. Sakura closed her book and looked at her.

"I'll keep anyone away from him until we can both agree on terms that we are in love, Ino. So until then please do not interfere, please." Sakura stated. Ino looked at her.

"Is there something going on here Sakura?" They both heard a rugged voice. Sakura's heart leaped and she smiled. She and Ino looked behind and saw Naruto, and his little brother, holding a tray of food.

"Oh, no it's okay Naruto. Naruto this is Ino." Sakura said gesturing towards Ino.

"Hi." Ino said waving. Naruto looked at her with an apathetical look.

"Well met, I'm Naruto and this is my little brother, Kishimaru." Naruto said plainly.

"Hello there, I bet you're just like your brother." Ino said sweetly. Kishimaru smiled.

"Yep, I'm a murderous demon that's bent on the worlds destruction and all those who are mean will die one day." Kishimaru said, being humorous about it. Naruto grinned, and Sakura and Ino looked at his little brother with a sweat-drop.

"That's my little bro." Naruto said grinning as he scuffed Kishimaru's hair. The little boy giggled.

"Big brother, stop you're embarrassing me." Kishimaru said waving Naruto's hand away. Naruto laughed. Ino felt a little uncomfortable and Sakura stared at Naruto. He looked at her and winked with a grin. Sakura smiled, knowing it was all a joke.

"So when do you two start?" Sakura asked, seeming interested about the subject. Ino gaped at Sakura, who smiled.

"Oh, we start in about…ah maybe a few days. Gives us time to work on our plan." Naruto said grinning. Kishimaru smiled.

"Oh, I see. Well maybe I can…join you." Sakura said fluttering her eyelashes. Naruto gave a small flush and grinned.

"Well, you know what they say, the more the merrier." He answered. Ino had, had enough now.

"Well Sakura, nice to see you again, but I gotta go. Bye!" Ino said and scurried off in a HURRY! Naruto, Sakura and Kishimaru laughed.

"I can't believe she fell for it. Nice." Sakura said laughing. Naruto and Kishimaru smiled.

"Yeah, well Squirts always been like that. He's good at that kinda thing." Naruto said. Sakura nodded.

"Well you two, aren't you going to sit down?" Sakura asked patting the seats next to her. They nodded and Naruto sat to her left while Kishimaru to her right. They chatted until it was time to go. The bell rang and it was time to go. Sakura slowly stood up. Her pain was healing but it was a bit hard to walk and move her body. She winced a few times when she walked up the stairs, but Naruto was right behind her, making sure she didn't fall and break anything. They made it to Kakashi's class. They looked in and saw everyone sitting, and chatting as they entered the room. Kakashi looked, seeing Sakura and…a young man walk into the room.

"Well, Sakura who's this?" The man asked. He had been reading his little red book and clamped it shut. Sakura looked and smiled.

"Oh, Kakashi-sensei, this is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Sakura introduced. Naruto waved and Kakashi crinkled an eye with a small smile, that hid behind his mask.

"Well, it's nice to meet you. So, Sakura is Naruto your boyfriend?" Kakashi asked. ALL activity stopped and focused on Sakura. She froze and flushed!

"W-W-Well Kakashi-sensei he's…ummm….uh….I don't….umm…well you see we-" She stuttered and couldn't get the words out she was SO embarrassed.

"We're not into the relationship Kakashi." Naruto said. Sakura looked at him and he smiled at the teacher. "But if she WANTS. To get into that sort of relationship, it doesn't bother me." Naruto explained with a small shrug of his shoulders. Kakashi looked at Sakura, who was FLUSTERED UNIMAGINABLY!!

"Oh, well I see now. Well anyway, I'm Kakashi Hatake, your Mathematics teacher. It's very nice to meet you Naruto." Kakashi said and held out his hand. Naruto hardily shook it. Kakashi got close to Naruto's ear. "You see, I think it's good that you're spending time with Sakura." Kakashi whispered. Naruto looked at the man in confusion as to why he would SUDDENLY bring that subject up!

"Why?" Naruto asked. Kakashi let out a silent sigh.

"Well, lately she's been…well…alone. She hasn't talked to anybody since school started. Well at least not that I know of." Kakashi said. Naruto stared at him, and then looked at Sakura. She had a big smile on her face as she stood next to him. Naruto looked at Kakashi, and the man sighed. "Well, shall we get started?" He asked. Naruto and Sakura nodded. Class begun, and Naruto, from time-to-time, gave Sakura small glances. She would have a smile on her face as she did her math. Naruto couldn't help but also plaster one among his face. He enjoyed Sakura sitting next to him, and he couldn't help but actually think that…maybe she was someone who he could REALLY love. He thought about what she was like.

"I wonder…if Sakura's attitude would…change if I was…well her mate. Would she really be interested in me? I'll have to think about this, cause if I'm going to…well…love her." Naruto thought. He stared at Sakura for a second, and then looked at the table. He didn't want to rush her, well at least scare her. He didn't know EXACTLY what to do, except at least HOPE that Sakura would accept him, for…well who he was on the inside. He NEVER wanted her to know what was…on the…OUTSIDE of him. He shook his head to discard the thoughts from further discussion. All he could think of was if he could actually TRUST her enough. He kept thinking she was the sort of person who would…well hate him, for the way he TRULY was. He had been hated all his life from EVERYBODY, who knew him TRULY.

He mentally sighed and thought deeply for a second. "Okay, if she really does…love me then I guess I should feel the same back, right? Yeah! I mean, if someone loves you and you feel for them, isn't it right to let yourself feel too? Yeah! Odd, I JUST met her today and already my heart feels that it belongs to her. Is this…true love, at first sight? It makes enough sense to know, I guess. But what if I do something and she…slips from my hands? If I screw up, I'll most likely never see her face or even her PERSON again. I can't…I can't let myself ruin this, NO WAY! I'm going to find out what she has for me, and I'll do it without disgracing myself! …hopefully." Naruto mentally thought. He sighed through his nose and looked at Sakura. She sat there, a nice sweet, soft, gentle smile on her face. She looked beautiful with her eyes and pink-hair, and that barrette brought out how she…looked. To Naruto she shone like a sliver-lined bird in flight when the sun hit her. He let a small smile ease its way on his lips as he looked towards his half-finished paper. He had a good feeling about this, HE DID!! No screw ups, and if he hid what he TRULY was, he was going to be fine. He started to do his work and decided that she would make the decision on her own, but he'd help her with that, surly. Yes, this was going to be ONE HELL of a ride, he thought. So it was decided, that Sakura would let her feelings out first…if he could manage his own for her. HOPEFULLY, he would KEEP himself from telling her first! Class had gone good as Naruto sat by Sakura the whole time. He felt comfortable sitting next to her, but he wanted to know if she felt the same about her. So, curiosity had an INCREDIBLEY ODD, and BIG IMPACT on him BIG TIME!!! "Hey, Sakura," Naruto started. Sakura looked at him and he looked at her.

"Yes Naruto?" Sakura asked politely. Kishimaru wanted to hear this and leaned in closer.

"Do you…feel…comfortable around me?" Naruto asked. Sakura's eyes widened and she leaned back a little. She started to wonder WHY he even ASKED, such a question. She combed back a piece of hair behind her ear with her finger tips and smiled, putting her hands in her lap. He patently waited for her answer.

"Of course I do Naruto. Why? I mean you'r human just like the rest of us, even though there are still things that are a bit odd abut you, that I don't understand, you're like me and I feel comfortable. Why?" Sakura explained, and then asked. Naruto gulped.

"Human! I don't even consider MYSELF THE LEAST BIT HUMAN AT ALL!!!" Naruto shouted within his subconscious! "Hehe! Yeah, human, right! That's me, an ordinary human!" He said with enthusiasm! He sweat-dropped with a foxy grin. Sakura giggled at his humor and enthusiasm.

"Naruto you're so funny! I love a guy with enthusiasm!" Sakura said…OUT LOUD!! She closed her mouth with her lips and didn't bother looking behind her, as she KNEW they were staring at her. She could see Naruto's eyes staring at them and grinned with a thumb up. They all rolled their eyes and turned away from him. One thing was right, he WAS weird! He looked at Sakura, who seemed to be COMEPLETELY embarrassed, by her shout! Naruto looked at her, his mouth gaping a little. "Sorry…" Sakura apologized as she turned away.

"Oh, you didn't embarrass me Sakura. It's me who should be sorry." Naruto said QUIETLY. Sakura looked at him and just nodded. It was odd how he didn't feel embarrassed about Sakura's LOUD shout. She couldn't help but wonder why, but let the thought slip from her as…

"RRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!" The bell went. Sakura and Naruto, along with EVERYONE ELSE, stood up and started to walk out. Sakura grabbed her books, although her elbow STILL HURT, she managed. Naruto saw her struggle a it to get her books. Those scrapes sure did LAST A WHILE!!! He smiled as he walked over in front of her. She looked at him and saw his smile.

"Are you okay Naruto, you seem…well usually happy." Sakura asked. Naruto grinned and looked at her books.

"Do you want me to carry those for you?" Naruto asked gentleman like. Sakura was a bit shocked by his proposal.

"Naruto I can…I'm not THAT hurt I mean I-" She stopped when he shook his head. She didn't have time to think before he gently took the books from her and put them under his arm. She looked at him in disbelief! He smiled and gestured her ahead of him. "Oh, why thank you Naruto. You're so sweet." Sakura said smiling as she walked ahead of him, limping a bit. He walked directly behind her, but felt like he was forgetting something. He turned around and saw Kishimaru, his eyebrow arched with his sleeves crossed and hanging.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"You're a sneaky devil you are big brother. But I know what you're up too." Kishimaru said. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and Kishimaru laughed! "Just kidding, but I'm glad you're being a gentleman for Sakura big brother, now c'mon, you don't want her to fall and break a hip do you?" Kishimaru asked as he ran out the door. Naruto jumped and ran out the door! Kakashi watched them as he read his book. He smiled.

"Who knows Sakura, you might've found your perfect match…after all." He said.

With Naruto, Sakura and Kishimaru…

Naruto and Kishimaru had caught up with Sakura as she took steps down the stairs. She was careful, her legs were still healing from the accident, and she didn't want to do anything else. Naruto and Kishimaru stayed on both sides as she stepped down the stairs. She finally made it down and they were walking off to History. They made it, without hassle, and the period continued. Ibiki had watched Naruto and Sakura ALL PERIOD! As far as the man knew, Sakura had feelings for Naruto, and Naruto had some as well. Though it was not TOTAL intimacy, they gave each other looks sometimes, other times without looking at one another. One would be making gaga eyes at another and then vise versa. The period went fast, and the bell had rung. They were on their way back to Anko's class. They arrived and Anko looked at Sakura and Naruto. Naruto was carrying her books as Sakura walked slowly up the stairs, supporting herself from falling.

"What happened to Sakura?" Anko asked. Naruto looked at her and sighed.

"Well, during Gym she, well fell and made a huge gash in her right knee, elbow and scraped her left palm, pre-tt-y bad." He said, putting "pretty" into syllables. Anko looked at Sakura as she took her designated seat. Anko looked at Naruto as he started towards his seat. Kishimaru looked at Anko and smiled. He walked over and leaned into Anko's ear.

'Big brother's being a gentleman for Sakura. I think he's got the feelings for her, y' know?" Kishimaru whispered into her ear. Anko smiled.

"I think I got it. It's too obvious. I'm glad Naruto's helping her. Must've been lucky to get that gash, because I bet your brother's gonna treat her till she's better, eh?" Anko asked. Kishimaru thought, and then a smile crossed is face.

"Well, one thing is that big brother's always been kind at heart." Kishimaru explained. Anko nodded and Kishimaru sighed as he turned towards Naruto and Sakura. They were chatting nicely and Kishimaru couldn't be happier! He walked away and took his seat. The period started and everyone just mainly talked. Sakura and Naruto chatted while Kishimaru just listened, giggling once or twice if Naruto or Sakura said something funny. The period was a good chance for Naruto to get to know a little bit more about Sakura, and he found out that she hadn't ALWAYS been like this! In fact she and that Ino girl were once best friends! But she became so ENSHROUDED in popularity, that Sakura decided that she had, had enough of it, and Ino was now her rival, not friend so much anymore, at least Naruto knew. Sakura learned something about Naruto as well. She had figured out that he was interested in becoming a leader one day. He wanted to show people he could! And that he wasn't just something else that they had ALWAYS referred him too! Sakura got caught up in the curiosity, and asked him. But he said he didn't prefer to talk about it. It still intrigued her, but she didn't want to ruin the moment and placed it in a file in her brain for later. They kept talking until…

"RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!" The Bell went. Everyone got up and walked out the room. Naruto watched as Sakura stood up and Naruto got her books for her. She was apparently a fan of pink, since all her book covers were pink as well, but labeled their designated classes. They all walked out of the class and back to Sakura's locker. Naruto looked at the number.

"Hmm, two-ninety-six?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him.

"Yeah, why?" Sakura asked as she did the combination. Naruto looked at her as she did the combo.

"Hold on Sakura." Naruto said. Kishimaru and Sakura looked at him.

"Why Naruto?" Sakura asked. Naruto looked at her and then at the lock and thought. He then looked at the lock.

"Let me see something." He said as he walked over to the lock. She moved her hand away as he did the combo. He lifted up the lock above the combo and…

"CLICK." Went the lock. Sakura's eyes widened. How could he have known her combo? How!? Sakura looked at him and saw the slip in his hands. He stared at it and Sakura watched him as he looked at the number.

"Well, well, well Sakura. Imagine luck." Naruto said with a smile. Sakura looked at him confused.

"What do you mean Naruto?" Sakura asked. Naruto grinned, staring at her.

"It looks to me like this is now…our locker." Naruto said. Sakura's eyes widened as Naruto handed her the slip. She took it and looked. Locker 296, combo, 023, 050, 02. Sakura looked at him and smiled.

"N-N-Naruto's my locker mate…HE'S MY LOCKER MATE!!! I can't believe this! Naruto, my locker mate! MAYBE I DO HAVE A CHANCE! KAMI'S GIVEN ME MY DAY!! THANK YOU KAMI!!" Sakura screamed in her mind! Naruto could see the excitement in her eyes. She was happy…no, she was ASTONISHINGLY HAPPY!!! Naruto looked into her emerald eyes and could see how excited she was.

"I can tell you're extremely happy Sakura. I'm really happy too!" Naruto said grinning. Sakura put a softly sweet smile on her face.

"You could? Well, I'm glad you're happy too Naruto." Sakura said calmly, trying not to explode! Naruto cocked and eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest as a smile plastered itself on his face.

"You may hide yourself from me, but you can't hide what you're feeling right now Sakura." Naruto said. Sakura cocked her eyebrow.

"I see…then you won't mind walking me home?" Sakura asked. She fluttered her eyelashes slowly. Naruto's face lit up a bit and his heart pounded! Now he was the one blushing!

"Sure S-Sakura, I mean I said I was going to, wasn't I?" Naruto asked. Sakura giggled.

"Yes, yes you did Naruto. You said it was so that I do not have to worry about Killdozer. Sometimes I feel that he stalks me home, it's creepy, especially during my late outs." Sakura said. She looked down and Naruto couldn't help but ask.

"Late outs, what'd you mean Sakura?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru was getting excited, so broadcasting it seemed to be a good idea.

"Ohh! This is gonna be good! C'mon guys, let's walk and talk!" Kishimaru shouted! Naruto and Sakura chuckled and nodded. Naruto looked at Sakura, and his smile turned around slowly. He could see she was serious about this.

"C'mon you two, I'll tell you while we walk." Sakura said. She didn't sound too happy about it. Naruto sighed and nodded as he and Kishimaru followed her. "You see," Sakura said as they walked outside. "There are some times when I stay at school a little later, to finish some things before I go home. And usually I stay until dark. Sometimes, when I'm walking home, I can feel Killdozer watching me, and stalking me. I get so scared I actually run home instead. I lock my door and windows at night, just so he doesn't, well get any ideas, you know?" Sakura asked. Naruto looked at her and nodded.

"I completely see where you're going with this Sakura. I know how it feels." Naruto said. Sakura turned her head towards him quickly, and stared at him in disbelief!

"Y-Y-Y-You know how it feels!?" Sakura asked, exclaiming it! Naruto looked at her in a bit of shock. He sighed and nodded, slapping his knees with his palms.

"Yeah, I do. But let's not go there. Anyway, you think he stalks you at night?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded and Naruto grunted.

"Yes, but I feel even safer with you here Naruto. So, I thank you at the bottom of my heart." Sakura said. Naruto looked at her in surprise! She smiled as they continued walking. The sun was setting early as it sunk down below the mountains. Kishimaru looked up at the sky and saw stars. The moon was also rearing its head above them. The sun sunk below quicker and quicker. It wasn't long until the sky was dark. The stars were out, the moon was shining brightly and Naruto had figured out that Sakura's house was FARTHER than it seemed! Sakura stuck close to Naruto as they reached the house on the side of the road. Naruto's eyes scanned EVERY SINGLE corner, just to be sure. They reached Sakura's house and she stood I front of her doorway and looked at them and smiled. "Thank you so much Naruto for walking me home." She said sweetly. Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he sported a grin.

"Oh, that's okay Sakura. I mean, you don't have to thank me I-" He was cut off. He…felt something…on his cheek. He looked, to see…Sakura! Sakura's lips were…she was kissing his cheek! Naruto was dumbfounded as Sakura let go. She smiled. He looked at her in shock! "S-S-Saku-"

"I jus thought you deserved something like that…for all you've done for me today. You bought me lunch, carried me to the nurses office, sat next to me when I'm usually alone, gave me support from falling and breaking something of some sort, thank to my stupid leg…and finally, you walked me home because I was…scared of some psycho that I felt was stalking me at night. I thought you deserved more than a simple thank you Naruto. Well, good night Naruto, and thanks for everything you've done to help me today." Sakura said with a soft sweet smile. Naruto blushed a bit an scratched the back of his head, bending his right knee and putting his right hand in his pocket. He grinned.

"Oh, well…thank you Sakura. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, right?" Naruto asked.

"For sure Naruto. Thank you." Sakura said as she opened her door and walked into the house. Naruto heard the door lock and smiled and touched his cheek.

"Hmmph." He heard. Naruto looked down and saw Kishimaru, pouting.

"And what's with you?" Naruto asked, putting his hands into his pockets. Kishimaru crossed his arms.

"How come you get a kiss on the cheek and I don't?" Kishimaru asked, obviously jealous. Naruto cocked and eyebrow, and then grinned.

"Awe, is someone a bit jealous? Well come here you." Naruto said opening his arms. Kishimaru looked at him ad then away, then at Naruto again and the away, and finally dropped his arms and jumped into Naruto's arms for a brotherly hug. Naruto smiled and looked at Kishimaru. The boy smiled also. Naruto soon…felt strange. He started to sweat. Kishimaru could feel it and sighed.

"C'mon big brother, let's go home." Kishimaru said. Naruto's hair shaded his eyes. He swallowed.

"Okay squirt, I think it's a good idea." He said demonically. Kishimaru grabbed his hand as they both walked off. Naruto looked behind him, his hair still shading his eyes. "She's mine…" He thought darkly.

With Sakura…

Sakura had gotten undressed and into bed. She kept thinking about Naruto. Her heart was STIILL pounding like MAD!!! She had to admit, it took ALL OF HER GUTS to give Naruto that kiss on the cheek. She could still feel the soft tingling of his tanned skin on her lips. It made her long for him MORE!! She could just imagine, what sleeping with him would be like. Just the TOUCH of his body against hers, would make her lull asleep during ANYTIME of day! She smiled and closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Outside…

A dark figure, stood in an alley way, near Sakura's house. He had orange hair, and a black leather jacket with blue jeans. He had a toothpick in his mouth and finally bit it in half! He looked over towards Sakura's house and put his hands in his pockets. He walked over to her house and reached for the door-knob. He was about to turn it when…

"GRWAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" A VOICE, ECHOED WITHIN THE VILLAGE!!! It was dark, demonic and it made him shiver! He gulped as he heard…wind, rustling within the trees! It made his hair stand on his back as he looked in the trees. He froze and his skin paled…there, staring at him were two…big…blood red glowing eyes with vertically shaped cats eye pupils. They stared at him, and he backed away. He could see something! I-I-It wan an OUTLINE!!! The figure came into close view, and Killdozers' eyes shot open!

"I-I-It's you!" HE GASPED!!! The figure growled at him in anger and malevolency. Killdozer backed away and finally…he ran. HE RAN FOR HIS LIFE!! He looked behind him and into the tree! He saw…nothing, nothing at all. He sighed and turned around and…"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed.

"GRWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" The scream was heard again, and then, silence…
