Sakura, K'sN&S-LET THE STORY CONTINUE!!!

Disclaimer-I do not own Naruto, never will in fact, less I get a call from Kishimoto stating I do. Which will NEVER happen…EVER…

Claimer-Kishimoto does not own Kishimaru though, so I win! I own all my OWN jutsu (etc.) ENJOY!

The village slept…silently awaiting in their slumber when the sun should arise and win the battle over the sky against the moon! Sakura slept, silently…but going on in her head…was something much, MUCH more than she would have expected…

Sakura's Dreams…(Well Nightmare really, but you get the idea)

Sakura was running! Running fast and panting as she scurried away from something! She looked behind her! There was nothing…but she KEPT running! She finally stopped. She looked around…a white mist surrounded her. She saw an opening and looked inside. It was an alley. She had seen it before.

"What? This alley again?" Sakura asked herself.

"GRWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shouted a demonic voice! Sakura SCREAMED and looked up! There, in the shadows of the moonlight, was a dark figure. She could see the coat, and saw it was indeed, a reddish-orange, but had grown a REDDER color! It had ears, and a tail that swayed mischievously. She gulped and backed away. The figure stood there, observing her. Looking at her hungrily…

"W-W-What do you want from me?!" Sakura shouted. The figure stared at her, before answering Sakura in a displeasing way.

"Grrr…GROAH!!!" IT SCREAMED!!!

"AHH!" Sakura screamed back and ran! Except she ran into the alley…the figures keen, vertical slitter eyes followed her easily. It got on fours and wagged its tail a bit before…dashing off after her. Sakura had run down the alley, but she had to admit, what ever IT was it had grown BIGGER. It didn't look like a small little thing anymore! It had grown, but only a few feet! It looked to be about…5'4' maybe? But nonetheless, Sakura STREAKED down the alley way. She saw blood puddles, and FRESH human corpses, SPLIT OPEN AND BASHED AGAINST THE WALL. Blood…literally WASHED the cobble floor. Scratch marks, bones stained with blood and everything! Sakura saw the bloodied walls on BOTH sides, and a trail of bodies, gashed, ripped and slaughtered, some without HEADS, lined the alley. She looked behind her and gasped! The thing was FASTER than last time, and its legs, and what looked to be arms, flowed gracefully with each step! It was catching up to her at an ALARMING rate! She tried to run faster by chakra sprinting…but she couldn't…SHE COULDN'T USE CHAKRA!! "HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!" Sakura SCREAMED for assistance! But nothing came, and nothing sounded. All she could hear was the tainted growl of the thing behind her! She finally reached the end, of the alley. She pounded on the wall! "LET ME OUT!! LET ME OUT!!" But nothing happened. She slid down against the wall and cuddled up into a ball.

"Grrr" Sakura gasped and looked! Her face went pale and her eyes discolored. There, standing on two legs, hunched and its arms dangling loosely without a twitch. It's legs bent to sustain its balance and its tail…swaying slowly, from left…to right. She felt faint as the thing moved closer. She whimpered and back up more against the wall. The thing kept walking forward, shaded in the shadows, and in TOTAL pitch-blackness.

"WHAT'D YOU WANT!!??" Sakura shouted! The figure didn't say anything, and only kept walking forward, without a sound. Sakura back up more, but found herself going no-where. The figure was right up to her now and she gasped as it GRABBED HER ARM!! "LET ME GO!!" She demanded! It was a STRONG grasp, and Sakura shook! The figure didn't even move, DIDN'T EVEN BUDGE, all that thrashed was its arm that Sakura was swinging around! She heard a dark sigh as blood-piercing eyes SHOT at her. Sakura felt her heart faint. The figure started to tug at her arm, and she tried to tug back, but it was TOO strong! Finally… "AHHHHHH!" Sakura screamed as she was DRAGGED, by her ARM. She Screamed! But not after hearing THAT voice again.

"She's mine…all mine." It echoed.

"N-N-Nar-" She stuttered.

Reality

Sakura's eyes shot open and she gasped! She sat up and looked at her right arm. Nothing. She sighed.

"It was only a dream." She stated. She didn't know what was happening to her. All she knew was that she was tired. After what happened last night, she was still shaken. She shook her head looked at the clock. SHE GASPED!! "I'M LATE!!!" Sakura shouted! She got up and got a QUICK shower before she got dressed and RAN downstairs. She opened the door and looked. She sighed! There were a few students walking, but not a lot. Sakura sighed and shut the door behind her. She looked around and wondered if Naruto was around. Well, she had slept in, and Naruto had probably been here already to walk to school with her. She shifted a bit under her feet and then walked towards she school. She looked ahead, seeing everyone walking and talking happily. Sakura wished Naruto was there to bring her mood up. She was tired, VERY tired.

She continued to walk until she reached the stairs. She climbed and finally she got to the top. Her body felt weak, she was hungry, tired and…well alone. The pinkette walked into the school yard and through the gates. She looked around and saw Ino and her cohorts. Ino was talking about…something while they all listened. Sakura looked at Tenten, who seemed a bit annoyed and uninterested in what Ino was saying, but listened. Sakura giggled a bit. She wanted to walk over and say "Good Morning," but she was too tired. She walked over to a nearby tree that was situated in the yard and leaned against it. She closed her eyes for a small cat nap, which will only last 30 minutes until the bell rung. She sighed peacefully and felt herself going off to sleep, until she heard footsteps in the grass walk up to her, ignored them. It was then, that she felt something cover her. It was warm, and comfortable to the touch. It felt nice and snuggled into it more. Who ever it was that put this on her was like a sun!

She heard the person sit down against the tree with her. She scooted over a bit so they could have room. Odd, there was a familiar scent in the air, and what she smelt was what was covering her body. It smelt sexy to her nose, and tickled it. She opened her eyes and looked down, seeing a coat gently placed over her. It was VERY long and had a, orange Libra Spiral on the back. She recognized this from somewhere. The black trench coat that…belonged to Naruto. Sakura could see the orange inside of the trench coat. Black on the outside, orange on the inside. She looked beside her and saw her crush sitting there, dozing off his head laid back against the tree and his Adams Apple bulging, signifying for is deep and sexy voice, which Sakura liked. She smiled. Naruto must've seen her dozing off and in his kind-heartedness, put his trench coat on her for warmth. Sakura looked at the trench coat and turned it sideways, so it was covering both her and Naruto. She leaned against the tree and fell asleep. Naruto cracked his left eye open and smiled. He looked at Sakura as she slept beside him. She looked so peaceful. She must've been VERY tired in order to fall asleep SO quickly. Naruto opened his other eye and looked at the clock on the school.

"Only twenty-five more minutes, well I guess a small nap won't hurt." Naruto stated quietly. He stretched and curled up into a BIG ball, like a fox sleeping, and closed his eyes.

30 minutes later……

Naruto and Sakura were STILL sleeping. Sakura had tipped over and Naruto had un-curled and had leaned up against the tree, making it so Sakura was sound asleep on his chest, while Naruto snoozed. Although what was weird, was that NO-ONE had woken them up! Another thing was that…well Naruto's body, even in his sleep, SOMETIMES, was a bit fidgety, and his arm was slung around Sakura's back. It was a nice moment, though they were in a DEEP slumber, they didn't exactly hear the bell. Though everything was peaceful, the sun had risen and everything was warm. Naruto slowly woke up and yawned. It took a bit for his eyes to adjust to the light of the sun, but once he adjusted he looked around, and the first thing that he saw…well he liked, but was a bit flustered. He saw Sakura sleeping on his chest, and she was a little TOO close to his, now hardened, penis. He gulped a bit and saw Sakura shuffle a bit. Naruto saw his arm slugged around her and looked at the clock.

"…shit…" He cursed. They had both slept and were now tardy. He sighed and looked at Sakura, though he was still ejaculated he couldn't help but smile as she was snug and warm. He rubbed her back a bit. He had never felt so loved in his life, well almost loved. All he needed to do was infatuate Sakura with his charming good-looks, grins, and foxy attitude and he was sure she's love him! Naruto was also a bit excited about what they would DO during the NIGHT. It made him shiver just thinking about it. He shook his head of his perverted thoughts and looked at the sky. He smiled and then heard Sakura rustle a bit. He looked and heard her yawn and grunt a bit. Sakura slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes adjusted and she felt, warm. She felt a hand rubbing her back. It was warm, and made her relax. Though when she was about to go to sleep, she saw a pair of black pants with a nylon rope wrapped around in the fashion of a belt and tied and a pair of black, shiny shoes. The first thing she felt was…well a RED HOT BLUSH that felt like it was BURNING her cheeks. Then, she felt her face light up in the fashion of a BLOOD RED TOMATO! She sat up a bit and slowly looked behind her, and saw Naruto, grinning. She slowly moved away from him and sat on her knees and put her hands in her lap. "Morning sleepy head, sleep well?" Naruto asked with a foxy grin. Sakura still kept her blush.

"I slept alright, I'm still tired. I've been having nightmares lately." Sakura explained. Naruto tilted his head to the right in an animal way. Sakura giggled at his antics, but soon her smile turned into a frown, and he got a serious look on his face as his mouth slightly gaped. "They've been horrible nightmares. I've only had two of them, but they were unlike anything I've EVER dreamed." Sakura explained. Naruto sat up and crossed his legs and put his hands in his lap.

"Just tell me what happened, okay? Start from square one about how last nights nightmare started." Naruto stated calmly. Sakura nodded and looked at the clock. She gasped!

"OH NO WHERE'RE LATE!! I'VE NEVER BEEN LATE IN MY LI-" Sakura was cut off as Naruto pushed a finger to her lips, as she did his yesterday. Sakura looked at him and saw the worried look he was sporting. He sported it well.

"Now, when I let go of your lips, you'll calmly state what happened. Now, don't worry about class, we can go get a slip from the office, I'll handle it, okay? Now tell me, what happened?" Naruto asked. Odd, he was worried over her nightmares, but something wasn't right about her. He sighed, he knew it was VERY quick to be getting into these things, and EVERYTHING was moving fast, but this was something he REALLY needed to know. He could smell her fear, and it was horrible! Sakura nodded and Naruto let go of her lips gently.

"Okay," She said with a sigh. "Well, when you left I went inside my house, and went upstairs. When I got in bed I stared at the window for a while, when I was about to fall asleep…I saw…I s-s-s-s-s-saw…t-t-t-t-t-t-t-two…two….t-t-two," She stuttered and shook as memories FLOODED back, since it happened last night.

"C'mon Sakura, spit it out! What'd you see!?" Naruto asked. Sakura shook a little, and Naruto could tell whatever she saw, scared the shit out her. He saw her hands balled together and snatched one and held it! Sakura let out a gasp as Naruto gripped her hand! She found the courage and gulped.

"I-I-I saw two blood-red eyes." She stuttered. Naruto's eyes widened and he held his breath! Sakura watched as Naruto's expression changed dramatically! "N-N-Naruto…what's wrong? C'mon Naruto snap out of it." Sakura said shaken a little by his trance. Naruto still didn't look at her and she gulped. "NARUTO WAKE UP!!!" She shouted and…

"SLAP!!!" She slapped him! Naruto's head turned a bit as he came back into reality. He blinked and fell a sore pain in his left cheek! He touched his cheek and looked at Sakura. She saw he was alright and sighed in relief. Well, she should have been the one to talk, she had a couple of them…but not like that.

"Sakura, did you just?" Naruto asked cupping his left cheek. Sakura gulped.

"Sorry Naruto, you wouldn't wake up. I had to do something. You were creeping me out by just staring at me, like you were a zombie." Sakura explained. Naruto stared at her and sighed.

"Sorry Sakura, now, tell me what happened after you saw those…eyes." Naruto said. Sakura nodded and continued. She told her story like she had witnessed it and Naruto was left gaping! Every single little detail she added! Naruto had never heard of anything like that before! "I'm sorry to hear that Sakura. Here, c'mon let's go into the school. I…uh…want to get off this subject right now, okay?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded. Although she couldn't place it, she felt as though Naruto was…hiding something. The pauses he put into his words and how he conjured them was skeptical indeed! They both got up and walked into the school and walked up to the desk. They got an excuse slip, as Naruto had told them that they had been late because of an important matter. They wanted to know why, but Naruto just said, "It was something that shouldn't be explained in public buildings," and they stared at him and surprisingly, they took it! "Dumbasses…" Naruto thought. Naruto and Sakura walked away to Anko's class. They were already 10 minutes late! But good thing they had a pass! They walked up the stairs, Sakura's gash slowing them down a bit, but she could walk up there without a problem! They arrived at their destination and walked in. They saw everyone at work and Anko looked at them.

"Welcome." The purple haired woman greeted cheerily. Sakura smiled and Naruto sported a grin. "Take you r seats and you'll see your work on your desk." Anko stated. They nodded and walked up. Ino was skeptical as to why Sakura was late!

"Forehead has never been late before! I wonder what's going on here." Ino asked herself. Her first opinion was that they were making-out, but then again she saw them both sleeping, so THEN she assumed they started to make-out, then told the office some stupid story and came to class and got excused. She smiled and nodded. Naruto showed Anko the slip from his seat and the woman marked them down as excused. Sakura sighed in relief that her PERFECT record wasn't shamed! Class started, for them, and went by quickly. Sakura was finished in 3 minutes! Naruto finished in 10, but he still liked to take his time at least, whilst Sakura moving like lightning, making mistakes! He grinned and they both turned their papers in. After a bit, they talked while Anko graded their papers, and finally, they got them passed back! Naruto smiled that he go himself an "A" on his paper, he smirked and looked at Sakura's. His face turned anime with small black dots for his eyes and sweat-dropped, as a blue shade of astonishment hit him. Sakura had an "A+" on her paper. Naruto's head dropped and Sakura giggled and looked at Naruto's paper.

"Oh wow Naruto, you got an "A" too!" Sakura said happily. Naruto looked at her and saw her smile.

"Yeah but look at yours, you got a freakin' "A+"" Naruto moped. Sakura giggled.

"Well of course, I always get these kinds of grades." Sakura explained. Naruto groaned and Sakura looked at him confusingly. "What's wrong Naruto?" Sakura asked.

"He's just jealous because you get brains smart one!" Ino said. Sakura gave her a stern look, and Ino waved it off and Sakura felt herself getting angry! Naruto felt her anger and slooked at her. Seeing her anger, for some odd reason made him smile. He didn't know why, but he somehow found it a bit attractive. It reminded him of his own hate towards things, but he learned to control it and make ones he hated and disliked, into friends. Sakura was about to KICK INO'S ASS, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her anger dissipated.

"She's not worth it Sakura. Just ignore her." Naruto deeply said. Sakura stared at him as he turned in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest. Sakura looked at him, and then at Ino, who was just acting cool, like Sasuke, arms crossed over his chest and feet propped up on the desk. Sakura looked at the others, and the same went for the other guys, and some of the other girls, except Hinata, Verde, Tenten and Sakura herself. Sakura gave a serious look at Ino and turned her head. Naruto, out of the CORNER of his eyes, looked at her with a grin. Sakura smiled at him and Naruto chuckled. Anko sighed and class continued. Sakura was STILL tired all through her classes. She wasn't even sure if she'd EVEN make it through GYM! She sighed as she entered the Gymnasium. She was SO tired, she could just sit on the bleachers and SLEEP ALL THROUGH SCHOOL! But, she couldn't get grades LOWER, than at least a "B+" in her book, and had to do what she needed. She walked over to the bleachers and sat down. She looked to see everyone else, fully refreshed and raring to go! She sighed and looked at the chalk board. She grunted and shifted uncomfortably a bit. They were playing Soccer, and she was the WORST!! She couldn't control the ball very well and she was SURE, her team would lose. Besides, Ino would've ALREADY grabbed Naruto and Kiba by now, sticking her with everyone else who was better than her, but also bad at Soccer. She sighed. Ino was already going around and collecting players. She had Kiba, Shikamaru, and Hinata who were EXCELLENT, kickers. She looked around and GLORY BEHOLD, there was Naruto, looking at the board. Sure Ino didn't appreciate his rude comments towards her, but she still wasn't one to lose, ESPECIALLY to Sakura. She walked over to him.

"Hello Naruto, what're you doing?" Ino asked. Naruto looked and gave an apathetically look.

"Well, I'm looking at the board for the activity today. We're playing Soccer today, if you haven't noticed." Naruto said, annoyed at Ino. Ino smiled. "Man, what an air-head. I bet she want's me to join HER team…tch, figures anyway, after all she put Sakura through, I should be with Sakura this time. YEAH!! Man, this is gonna be FUN!!" Naruto shouted.

"So, Naruto, I was just wondering if you wanted be on our te-" She was cut off.

"Oh! Sorry Ino, I'm kinda ALREADY ON ANOTHER PERSONS TEAM!!" NARUTO BLARED. He looked at Sakura and surly she saw him. Ino winced a bit at his LOUD MOUTH attitude and cleaned her ear out with her pinky to make sure she was able to hear still. Sakura stared at Naruto whilst he turned and saw her team of Chouji, Neji and Tenten. Naruto smiled and then grinned! He looked at the flag and shrugged. Their flag color was…well it was pink. He sighed and looked at Ino's team color. It was blue and Naruto looked at Neji, who seemed not to be embarrassed wearing Sakura's chosen flag, after all he was a man of pride for his team and would do ALMOST ANYTHING to let people know he was a team player, same with Chouji and Tenten. Sakura looked at Naruto gave him a weak smile. Naruto walked over towards her team and looked at them. "Pink? Cool. Got another jersey?" Naruto asked with a STRONG smile. Sakura's eyes widened a bit.

"Y-Y-You're not on Ino's team?" Sakura asked, her hands were innocently placed in her lap. Naruto shook his head. Sakura looked around and saw another Pink Jersey. She and Neji wore theirs like a regular shirt, while Tenten and Chouji just wore theirs out of their pockets. Neji picked up the jersey and handed it to Naruto.

"Thanks buddy!" Naruto stated happily and put the jersey in his pocket. Sakura smiled and stood up. Neji stared at Naruto and turned away, while Tenten gave him a "Be Thankful for his kindness" glare. Neji sighed and looked at Naruto. Naruto's cerulean eyes met Neji's opals.

"Anytime…teammate." Neji said with a cool smile. Naruto grinned.

"Alright guys, now let's get out there and kick some ass!" Naruto shouted. He put his hand in the center and Sakura put hers on top of his, whilst a baby blush made its way across BOTH their faces. Tenten slapped their hands while Neji calmly and gently put his hand in the middle as well. Chouji placed his hand on all of theirs. "Alright…one, two, THREE!" Naruto shouted as they threw their hands in the air! Sakura laughed and Naruto copied her. Neji put a small smile on his face, along with Chouji.

"Okay guys! Let's GO!!" Tenten said perkily! Naruto nodded and looked at Sakura.

"Well team leader, let's go." Naruto stated. Sakura flinched a bit.

"M-Me? But I couldn't. You're better at this game than I am. You should be team leader, besides you haven't led yet." Sakura stated. Naruto blinked a few times in a confused manner.

"But you're the one who put the jerseys out, and pulled this winning team together!" Naruto said grinning. Sakura sighed. She wanted to be team leader because Ino was, but with Naruto he seemed like a better choice, being the gigantic athlete he was! Sakura shook her head.

"I've already been team leader for a bit too long Naruto. I don't want to be, I'm still a little tired and I'm not up to being." Sakura explained. They all stared at her and Sakura looked at Naruto and weakly smiled, her eyes sagging a bit from being tired. Naruto stared at the ground.

"Are you sure Sakura?" Naruto asked. She nodded and brushed her hair with her fingers behind her ears. "Okay, well it seems as though I'm now team leader. Oooookay. Well, I guess we gotta pull a plan together. Knowing Ino, she'll try using brute force against us so what we need to do iiiiiis…" They started to formulate their plan.

Outside……

Ino's team lined the field as Naruto's team, fashioned in pink which made EVERYONE on Ino's team laugh, made their way to the field. Naruto stared at Ino and Sakura gulped a bit. Ino looked at Sakura, and then at Naruto.

"Hey forehead! What's wrong, too CHICKEN TO BE LEADER!?" Ino shouted! Sakura groaned lightly.

"Hey LOUD-MOUTH!" Naruto shouted! "What's the matter!? Picking on the SILENT types!?" Naruto asked. Ino glared at him and Naruto glared back! Gai walked onto the field with Lee.

"Okay!" He quickly stated. "Now, you know the rules, make five goals and your team wins! You can chakra sprint but NO jutsu's." Gai stated. He took a ball and set it between Ino and Naruto. "You know also, NO HANDS! Heads, feet and knees! Ready…GO!!"

"FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!" The whistle PIERCED the air. Naruto kneed the ball and Neji and Tenten ran towards the other teams goal while Sakura and Chouji stayed behind! The goalie for Ino's team was Verde, and for Naruto's team was…wait, they didn't HAVE a goalie. Naruto groaned.

"I'LL BE GOALIE!!!" Kishimaru shouted OUT OF NOWHERE!!! Naruto sweat-dropped.

"WHERE'D YOU COME FROM!!??" Naruto shouted pointing. Kishimaru smiled sweetly.

"From home. I missed you big brother." Kishimaru said giving his "Puppy-Eyes" routine. Naruto slapped his forehead and dragged it down his face and stared at his baby brother. He then smiled.

"Alright, you can be goalie squirt, just don't let the ball hit the goal. Okay?" Naruto asked pointing at the ball and the goal. Kishimaru smiled and nodded. "Also, NO hands, only knees, feet r your head. Okey Doke?" Naruto explained and asked.

"YEPPERUNI!!" Kishimaru shouted and ran to the goal. Naruto grinned. Kishimaru was a hard hitter that was for sure! ESPECIALLY with his feet! Naruto looked to see Sakura, juggling the ball towards Ino's goal. Naruto STREAKED over towards to help her! Ino blocked Sakura and SNATCHED the ball away. Sakura gasped and ran after while Kiba ran along side her and tried to block her off! Neji and Tenten blocked off Shikamaru at the same time as Ino whisked towards Kishimaru, who was in defense stance. "C'MON HAGGY! LET'S DANCE!!" Kishimaru taunted.

"UGHH! YOU LITTLE WHELP!! EEEEAAATTT THIS!!" Ino SHOUTED ANGRILY AND SLUGGED THE BALL WITH HER FOOT, SENDING IT ROCKETING TOWARDS KISHIMARU!!! Kishimaru got lower and as the ball was about to STRIKE, Kishimaru kick-flipped the ball, sending it air-borne! Kishimaru then jumped and did a 360 degree spin kick! Sending the ball SOARING through the air!

"GOT IT!!" Naruto shouted as he jumped and did a forward flip and SLAMMED the ball with his heel! Tenten caught it with her knee. Kiba jumped up and snagged the ball and kicked it towards Shikamaru, who jumped and spin kicked the ball. Neji stopped it as he jumped and kneed the ball and then SLAMMED it HARD towards Naruto, who jumped and flip-kicked it towards the goal! Verde got into position as the ball came whizzing towards her. Chouji was near the goal and grinned as the ball came towards him! He readied and in ONE HUGE SHOT, SLUGGED THE BALL WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE, SENDING IT THROUGH VERDE'S DEFENSES AND INTO THE GOAL!!! Naruto smiled and Sakura squealed and clapped, jumping up and down WILDLY!!! "YEAH! NOW THAT'S TEAM WORK!!" Naruto shouted! He looked at Sakura, who was jumping up and down clapping her hands wildly!

"We did it Naruto!" Sakura shouted. Naruto smiled and Sakura blushed in embarrassment! Naruto chuckled. The game continued and the game stopped with a score of 3-to-5. Naruto and Sakura cheered in glee as they CLAIMED SWEET VICTORY!! "We won Naruto!" Sakura shouted happily! Naruto smiled and watched as she shouted happily! Sakura stopped as Naruto grinned and she smiled and straightened up. "Umm, well done coaching and coming up with the plans Naruto…thank you." Sakura stated. Naruto smiled and felt his energy building until he could take no more! HE GRABBED SAKURA AND LIFTED HER UP AND SWUNG HER AROUND!! Sakura and Naruto laughed! Sakura gripped his arms so she wouldn't fly off as Naruto rotated them both. Sakura looked at him and saw Naruto enjoying himself. She found herself becoming more and MORE attracted to him! His happy-go-lucky attitude, his gentleman like attributes and kind heart all fit together! Not to mention his animalistic antics! She started to think about…him. She started to wonder how he had these AMAZING abilities! His strength and speed were INCEDIBLE!!

She started to think about what a life with him would be like again. "If we really get together, I wonder what I would do with him. Cuddling? Hugging? Kissing? Maybe even……lust? Oh…lust, what'll I do if WE DO get together and he needs THAT kind of love!? What do I do what do I say!? Wait! Why am I worrying about lust? Naruto and I haven't even started dating yet! So why is he…?" Sakura was confused. She didn't know why Naruto was swinging her around like a child's play toy. But she could see his smiling face, and concluded that the reason was because he was glad they won the stopped and looked into Sakura's emerald eyes. His cerulean eyes were beautiful, as well as Sakura's that sparkled in the sun! Sakura coughed to get his attention. "Umm, Naruto, do you mind setting me down now?" Sakura asked. Naruto grinned and sweat-dropped, then nodded. He set Sakura down and scratched the back of his head as a small tint of red crossed his cheeks. Sakura giggled. Naruto chuckled back and sighed, putting his hands on his hips and looking at the sky. Sakura looked up with him and saw the clouds lazily pass by. Sakura became a bit sleepy from watching them and her eyes shut a bit. She felt like laying on them and drifting asleep. She started to tip a bit as the clouds sleeping spell got control of her. She felt her body relaxing, and started to fall backwards, like a cloud would catch her.

"WHOA!!!" She heard a voice. She was caught by something. Warm, nice and strong. She finally closed her eyes and in that instant, all her bodily functions, except her heart, shut off and fell asleep, but NOT before cuddling snuggly into the grip of the person holding her. Her dreams took over and she sounded asleep. Naruto held Sakura and stared at her. "What happened!? She just, fell…LIKE THAT! Is she sleeping? …Whew, she is. Okay, well, looks like she needs her sleep. Well, it'll be good for her. Although I gotta say one thing, those…nightmare took hold fast! (Sigh) Well, better get her home so she can rest. Maybe if she's up to it we can have lunch!" Naruto stated. He nodded and picked her up.

"Is she okay!!??" Tenten asked GASPING! Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, she's just tired. That game must'a took a lot out of her, eh?" Naruto asked.

"I guess! I've never seen her so tired before! I hope she'll be alright!" Tenten stated worrying.

"She just needs rest," Neji explained. "Naruto, please take Sakura home so she can get sleep. She should be fine when she wakes up, well, until school ends at least." Neji explained. Naruto nodded.

"C'mon squirt! We're going to Sakura's house for lunch!" Naruto shouted.

"YAY!" Kishimaru shouted back, running over to Naruto! Naruto laughed and sighed. He looked at Sakura, who was cuddled and snug in his arms. He sighed.

"C'mon." Naruto said and waved Kishimaru to follow him with a nod of his head. The small boy nodded and they both took off.

"RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!" The bell went! Neji smirked.

"Well, this ought to be interesting." Neji stated crossing his arms over his chest and closing his eyes. They all looked at him.

"What'd you mean Neji?" Chouji asked. Neji chuckled.

"You mean you didn't see it?" He asked. They all cocked their eyes brows and shook their heads. Neji gave a smile. "The determination in Naruto's eyes. I could see all he wanted was that Sakura would be okay. I can't believe you all couldn't see it." Neji stated. They all looked a each other and Neji looked beyond the fence. "Yes, Sakura's lucky to have Naruto around, I think she's coming out of that shell she's always been since…well let's just say SOMEONE, decided they were too good." Neji stated staring at Ino. Ino glared at him and crossed her arms.

"HMMPH!" Ino pouted and walked away. Tenten sighed.

"I wonder what's up with that girl sometimes." Tenten said.

"You mean all the time?" Kiba asked. They all chuckled.

"I hope Sakura will be alright." Hinata stated, sounding dreadfully worried.

"Don't worry! Sakura's just tired, that's all baby!" Kiba said slugging an arm around his girl. Hinata gave a blush and Kiba looked at Neji. "That is, what's wrong, right?" Kiba asked. Neji gave a reassuring smile and nodded.

"Yes…but also…can't you help but feel that…something's wrong?" He asked. Kiba cocked his eyebrow and shrugged.

"No, can't say I…wait! Now that ya mention it Naruto's been a bit weird lately around Sakura. You know, making all these animally like growls and stuff?" Kiba asked.

"Precisely." Neji stated with a nod. "Whatever's going on, it'd better not involve Sakura." Neji stated. They all nodded. "From now on, and I'm saying this only in suspicion, we'll keep an eye on Naruto and ESPECIALLY on Sakura, okay?" Neji asked. They all nodded. "Good. But now, it's lunch, and I need nourishment, so let's head out already." Neji said coolly. They all nodded and walked off. Sasuke looked behind him as a breeze combed through his dark hair. He said nothing and walked off, hands in his pockets.

With Naruto, Sakura and Kishimaru…

Naruto and Kishimaru jumped from roof-top to roof-top as they searched for Sakura's house. Naruto took glances at Sakura, hoping she wasn't having any nightmares. He was worried about her. Though he wasn't EXACTLY worried about her NIGHTMARES, but about her and his TRUE, self. He didn't want to hurt her, and he was…whether he thought it was true or not, falling for her. At first he NEVER believed in "Love at First sight," but now his mind was thinking that…that maybe it WAS true. Maybe he had just never believed in the first place to start, or maybe because NO OTHER girls really thought of hi as "Attractive," to do his course behavior and sudden out-bursts. But either way, he hoped this was going to be different. He could already imagine being in love with Sakura. What they would do when they were in love. Kiss, cuddle, snuggle…lust! Naruto started to think about "Lust," and about what it would be like.

"Hmm, Lust. I can imagine doing it, but I can't imagine Sakura EVER agreeing to have sex with me! Since, each time I get…well got "ACTIVE," it always made me…vulnerable to…well it just makes me rough, ill-tempered and become indecent and very malevolent in the ways of love…I guess. (Sigh) I just hope she can see me for who I am and not WHAT I am. Please Kami, please shoot Sakura with an arrow that makes her immune to my…ways. Erm…well, you can't EXACTLY do that sorta thing, but please help me. Help me take my time in revealing to Sakura, if it EVER comes, my true face." Naruto prayed at the end. What he thought about him and her was something…he had never thought about in a LONG time. He smiled as he thought about kissing her luscious lips, and for some reason they made him hungry. He licked his lips in hunger as he thought about…her ways in attempt of seduction and love. He shook his head! "NO! I'm not going to think about that stuff! NO! I wanna be with Sakura, not be AWAY from her and let her think I'm a cold, blood-thirsty, flesh-eating MONSTROSITY!!" Naruto shouted in his mind! He sighed and looked at her. She was so peaceful in her sleep, so cute and beautiful. He could imagine cuddling with her in bed ALL DAY LONG, and could feel her silky, smooth and milky soft skin against his bleeding, rough and muscular body. He smiled and looked forward, and to behold, there was Sakura's house! Naruto and Kishimaru jumped off the roof-top they were on and landed in front of Sakura's house. Kishimaru tried the door and luckily, Sakura forgot to lock it! "Must've been too tired I guess, eh?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, poor Sakura. C'mon big brother, let's put her in her comfy bed." Kishimaru suggested. Naruto nodded and they walked inside. They were a bit shocked! There was hardly ANYTHING inside the house! Only thing there was a sofa, a small T.V. some stools, pictures and, well, BARELY ANYTHING IN THE HOUSE. "Whoa, I expected more from Sakura's parents, huh?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah…hmm…must be the decorative kinda people. Always moving things around, r-right?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto thought and smiled with a nod.

"Yeah. Well, I hope Sakura's parents don't mind if we have some grub, eh?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru shrugged and then gave a nod. "Awesome! Well, you find somethin' eat and I'll put little miss pinky in her bedroom, k?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru nodded and headed off towards the kitchen. Naruto sighed and walked up the stairs and looked in each room. He guess the bedroom to the INSTANT left, was Sakura's. After all, it was just a small stair hallway, only a railing and rooms on the left. First door had pink walls and a bay window. The bed was on the right and outside was a tree. Naruto walked over and pulled the covers off with his foot and set Sakura in bed. He pulled the covers over her and tucked her gently in bed. She seemed to have a small frown of dismay on her face. Naruto's guess was that she was enjoying his warmth and didn't like to lose it. He sighed and took off his trench coat. He put it on her like a regular blanket. She smiled contently that she felt the warmth she had originally lost. He stared at hergulped. He leaned down to her forehead and his lips tingled a bit as he realized what he was about to do. But, well nothing was stopping him…except.

"Big brother!" He heard Kishimaru shout! Kishimaru walked into the room and froze. Naruto was an inch away from kissing her forehead. "Oh boy, uh…big brother there's a small tinsy winsy little problem we gots." Kishimaru said childishly. Naruto stopped what he was doing and stared at the boy.

"What'd you mean? What's wrong?" Naruto asked confused. Kishimaru thought.

"Uh…how do I put this…umm…Sakura has no food…" He said apathetically at the end. Naruto's eyes widened.

"What!?" Naruto asked! Kishimaru sighed and shook his head, then waved for Naruto to follow him. Naruto jogged out the door, and then downstairs. He searched through the cabinets. "Nothing, nothing, NOTHING!" Naruto shouted! He looked in the fridge. "BARE!" Naruto bellowed. He checked EVERYWHERE!! He was SHOCKED! Nothing…Sakura…had nothing to eat in the ENTIRE HOUSE!! Naruto sighed and looked at Kishimaru, who was holding his tummy.

"Big brother, I'm hungry, my tummy's growling." He said childishly. Naruto sighed and put his hands on his hips. He looked up the staircase and into Sakura's room. He walked up there, followed by Kishimaru and into Sakura's room. He walked up to her bed and gently shook her awake. She grunted and her eyes slowly opened, seeing Naruto staring at her.

"Naruto? Whe-where am I?" Sakura asked.

"I brought you home, but Sakura, how come you have NOTHING to eat in this house? Where's the food?" Naruto asked. Sakura's eyes opened wider and she was fully awake. She stared at Naruto and sat up. Naruto knelt beside her bed and placed his elbows on the sheets. Naruto and Kishimaru looked at Sakura and she sighed. "Sakura," Naruto started. She looked at him. "How come you don't go shopping?" Naruto asked lying his head on his fist that he balled.

"Uh…it's not what you think…I-I-I just forget that's all." Sakura explained. Naruto and Kishimaru looked at each other, and then at Sakura.

"Sakura, you've got to eat. You're probably tired because you eat no breakfast and no diner! Okay, tonight, you'd better get your wallet ready, cause RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL, we're going shopping for food, okay?" Naruto asked. Sakura gave an open-mouthed smile and nodded. Naruto winked at her and she gave a small flush. Kishimaru giggled playfully and hopped on Sakura's bed!

"Sakura, are you hungry?!" Kishimaru asked, giving small shout. Sakura chuckled.

"Well, now that you mention it, I could use some food. I didn't eat breakfast today, soooo why not?" She answered.

"Awesome, alright guys so what'cha want?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru looked at Sakura and she thought.

"I really don't have a clue actually." She answered. Naruto and Kishimaru sweat-dropped. Sakura scratched the back of her head, and then an idea popped into her head! "Oh, I know! And no, it's not ramen this time," She said. Naruto and Kishimaru groaned. "We're going to go to the BEST place for an after-noon lunch in town! It's where ALL the high school students usually go!" Sakura said happily.

"Well…out with it!" Naruto demanded. Sakura sighed.

"Okay, okay! Well, it's called "The Snack Shack," and its got EXCELLENT food. If we hurry we might get a seat! C'mon!" Sakura explained. She jumped out of bed and Naruto stood up. Kishimaru hopped off. "Alright guys, I know a short-cut, let's go!" Sakura shouted waving her hand to follow her. They both nodded and Sakura ran over to the window and opened it. She climbed out and waved. Naruto and Kishimaru looked at each other and sighed. Naruto got his coat and put it back on and Kishimaru got up and out the window, Naruto stepped through and they both looked at Sakura and she took a deep breath. Though he "nap," was short, she felt like eating a cheese-burger and fries. "Shall we?" Sakura asked.

"YEP!" Kishimaru said positively.

"You bet!" Naruto answered sticking his thumb up with a grin. Sakura giggled.

"Okay guys, let's go!" Sakura stated. Naruto and Kishimaru nodded and Sakura jumped off, followed by Kishimaru and Naruto. They sprinted along the roof-tops at lightning speeds! Naruto looked ahead and sped up, along with Kishimaru, who followed right behind him, his hair flailing back along with his long sleeves. Naruto's trench coat was right in his face, flapping in the wind. Kishimaru groaned and moved it out of the way and ran next to Naruto. Sakura smiled as she saw the shack a couple of feet away. There was no line! "Yes! No line!" Sakura shouted happily! Naruto and Kishimaru looked at each other and then nodded. They jumped off the roof-tops and landed. Sakura walked inside, followed by Naruto and Kishimaru. Naruto and the small boy next to him looked around in awe! Everyone was HERE! Chatting and conversation going on with laughs and giggles! Food being served and LOADS of tables! Sakura walked up to the waitress that was standing behind the podium and she looked up and smiled.

"Why hello there, may I help you?" She asked. Sakura nodded.

"Yes, one table for three please." Sakura stated. The waitress looked behind and saw Naruto and Kishimaru.

"I can allow you and the blonde in, but I cannot allow the little boy in." She stated. Sakura and Naruto gaped!

"And why not!" Sakura asked placed her hands on her hips femininely.

"I don't make the rules around here ma'am. This is a establishment reserved for teens only and that's final. I'm sorry, but you and him behind you can get a table." The waitress stated. Naruto and Sakura looked at Kishimaru, the boy stared at the waitress.

"Sorry squirt, looks like you can't come in." Naruto stated. Kishimaru just stared at the waitress. "Squirt…hellooooo." Naruto said waving his hand in front of the small boy. Kishimaru walked up to the podium and then craned his neck to see the teenage waitress. He jumped and gripped the podium and climbed up and sat on the podium, dangling his legs.

"Let me tell you something," Kishimaru started. The waitress popped a bubble with her pink gum and crossed her arms.

"What?" She asked crossing her arms. Kishimaru smiled sweetly.

"You know, I've seen MUCH worse than what regular teens are supposed to see. I've seen, blood, gore, a persons heart getting RRRRIPPED OUT OF THEIR CHEST AND BLEEDING TO DEATH!! I'VE SEEN SKIN GET RRRRIPPED OPEN AND ORGANS BEING RRRIPPED OUT OF YOUR STOMACH! Oh, and don't forget the part where he RIPS OUT YOUR SMALL AND LARGE INTESTINE AND SMMMMEARS IT ALL OVER THE WALLS WHILE BLOOD GUSHES OUT LIKE A FOUNTAIN, LITERALLY! AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE PART WHERE HE BREAKS YOUR BONES AND PULLS THEM OUT AND BEATS YOU WITH THEM UNTIL YOUR SKULL CRACKS AND YOU BRAINS SPLATTER OUT ON THE GROUND!!!!!!" Kishimaru SHOUTED FLAILING HIS ARMS!!! The waitress and Sakura both GAPED! Naruto smacked his forehead. Kishimaru giggled. "And you wanna know who would DO those kinda things?" Kishimaru asked.

"N-N-No…" The lady stuttered. Kishimaru giggled childishly.

"Well let me tell you that it's THAT guy, riiiiiiiiight behind her." Kishimaru said pointing. The lady looked and her face paled. Kishimaru was pointing at Naruto. The young man ocked his eyebrow as the waitress' gum fell out of her mouth and she gasped.

"H-H-H-H-H-Him?" She asked. Kishimaru nodded.

"You bet, you can't even imagine what he's done. It was ALLLLLLLLLL hiiiiiiimmm." Kishimaru stated. The waitress trembled! Kishimaru sweetly smiled. "Soooo, if you wanna live and keep your organs and skin and eyes and bones and…well you know. I suggest ya get us a table for three please. Can you do that for me?" Kishimaru asked as sweet as can be. The waitress trembled and got out 3 menus and handed them to Kishimaru. "UH OH! You gotta smile while you do it. Don't want him to go MAD!!" Kishimaru shouted flailing his arms! The waitress nodded and put on a nervous smile.

"P-P-Please follow me." She said and slowly walked towards the back. Kishimaru giggled! He jumped off the podium and smiled.

"What' you say to her Kishimaru?" Sakura asked.

"I just told her something. I guess it scared her. It wasn't THAT gory! HEHEHEHE!!" He giggled! Sakura cocked her eyebrow and followed the waitress. Naruto walked over to him and looked down.

"You told her about me didn't you?" Naruto asked.

"YEPPERS!" Kishimaru answered cheerfully. Naruto sighed.

"Okay, just so long as you DON'T tell her about the whole flesh thing, okay?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru sighed.

"But big brother I wanna tell her about the fleshy thingy! Pretty PLEASE!" Kishimaru begged.

"No! (Sigh) You can't just go around and tell people about these things. But I commend you for that, after all, ya got some grub squirt!" Naruto explained and ruffled the boys hair! He laughed and held his hair.

"Big brother!" Kishimaru complained laughing!

"C'mon squirt, let's go have some lunch. Besides, some of the meat I've eaten is just… BLECH!!!" Naruto said in disgust! "But I bet this meat is fresh and cooked, so I'll be getting some COOKED, meat this time. But don't blame me, blame HIM for my ways of eating." Naruto explained. Kishimaru sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, HE just has a different taste in meat I guess, but can ya tell how it tasted!?" Kishimaru asked! Naruto thought.

"Yeah…bitter, raw and disgusting…but filling at least." Naruto explained. Kishimaru shrugged and Naruto and him walked away. They looked around and saw Sakura sitting at the table and looking at her menu. They walked over and Naruto sat next to Sakura while Kishimaru set on the other side of the booth across from them. The small boy picked up his menu and opened it. Naruto opened his and looked. There was a lot to choose from, but Naruto could see some chicken wings that he was DYING to try. Kishimaru decided on chicken tenders and Sakura went with a cheese-burger that she was CRAVING!! They got their drinks, which were three cokes and chatted. They got their food 30 minutes later and ate till they were full. Naruto paid the bill and they all walked out of the shack. "Man! I'm STUFFED! Ah! They got good food, service but the rules are shit!" Naruto said happily!

"Yeah, I'm pretty full too! Did you enjoy your meal Kishimaru?" Sakura asked. Kishimaru smiled and nodded.

"YOU BET!!" He said happily. Sakura giggled

"And thanks to that meal, I'm fresh and FULL of energy now! Well Naruto, I guess we have to get back to school now. Shall we?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah. Okay squirt, time to go home. I'll see you after Sakura and I go shopping, okay?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru nodded.

"Okay big brother, see ya when you get home." He said and skipped away merrily. Naruto and Sakura smiled and walked back to school. Naruto sighed as they reached the stairs and started the long trek up them. Sakura was glad that she had a big lunch, or she was sure she'd be KNOCKED OUT ALRADY! Sakura sighed when she and Naruto got to the top. They walked into the school yard and into the school itself. They walked to their locker and got their things and walked to class. The rest of the day was good! Naruto and Sakura were tired, but at least school was over, and Naruto and Sakura could FINALLY go to the store and get Sakura some food! The two teens walked outside and saw the sun, scrolling below the mountains.

"I figure we've only got a few hours before the sung goes down." Naruto stated. Sakura looked at him, and then at the sun. She smiled and sighed.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Sakura asked. Naruto looked at her and gave a frown.

"Uh…yeah, it's alright." Naruto stated. "Now C'mon, let's get your things and get to your house quickly." Naruto stated. Sakura looked at him confusingly.

"Naruto, are you okay? You seem to be in a hurry." Sakura asked. Naruto turned around and looked at her.

"I'm just tired, now c'mon, let's get you some stuff, alright?" Naruto asked.

"Okay Naruto." She answered. Sakura walked beside him as they trailed down the LONG staircase. As soon as they got to the bottom they headed over to the store Naruto opened up the door and gestured Sakura politely inside. She giggled. "Thank you gentleman." Sakura said.

"My pleasure milady." Naruto politely stated. Sakura giggled again and walked inside. Naruto followed her. "I tell ya, you've been giggly today. Something funny?" Naruto asked. Sakura smiled.

"Oh, I just appreciate everything you do for me is all. I hope that…well…one day I can repay you in advance for all you do and give me. You're a real gentleman Naruto, and you have a good heart. Thank you." Sakura explained calmly. Naruto stared at her, a bit shocked! He then smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh well I uh…it's nothing really. I just think it's the right thing to do is all." He answered.

"Well you're doing the right thing indeed Naruto. Now, shall we?" Sakura asked.

"After you…MILADY." Naruto said making a small joke out of it. They both laughed and grabbed a shopping cart. They strolled down the aisles and picked out A LOT of things. Sakura had grabbed ALMST EVERY SINGLE THING IN EVERY SINGLE AISLE THEY CAME TOO! Naruto looked at the cart and it was ALMOST as tall as he was! They both walked to the check out counter and started to put the items on the scroll. Naruto looked outside and gulped. The sun was BARELY in the sky. He started to go faster and faster! Sakura watched as he HAULED ASS! The clerk could BARELY keep up with him! He sighed as Naruto sped like lightning and put everything in the bags and loaded himself! Sakura grabbed some bags as well and looked at Naruto, who was carrying a LOAD! But, he wasn't dazed at all! "C'mon Sakura, let's get these things home!" Naruto said and ran out the door!

"WAIT NARUTO!" Sakura shouted and ran after him. The clerk sighed.

"Kids these days, always running a muck in the streets." He said.

With Naruto…

Naruto ran! He could slowly feel himself losing his senses of his human conscious slipping! He ran faster as he started to hunch a bit.

"NO! NOT YET!!" Naruto pleaded! He ran faster and faster! He looked at his hands and gasped! "I SAID NOT YET!" Naruto shouted. He could feel his rage and thirst for blood, slowly waking within him! He could smell blood again! It smelt good! HE finally reached Sakura's house and BASHED the door open with a HIGH KICK! HE ran inside and set everything on the counter in the kitchen. He looked around and found a piece of paper and a pencil.

With Sakura…

Sakura huffed and panted. She had never seen Naruto haul away like that with a FULL load! She panted more and more and FINALLY reached her house. She looked and saw the door! WIDE OPEN! She walked inside and saw bags on the counter and most of the things she had bought with Naruto in place! She sighed and set the loaded bags on the counter. She dug around in the bag and found some thing, setting them in all of their appropriate places. Sakura looked around, but found no sign of Naruto! She looked around and walked into the living room. She looked upstairs and downstairs. But NO sign of him! She sighed and walked into the kitchen. She got out a jug of milk and walked over to the fridge. She looked and she stopped. There was something on the fridge. She picked it up and set the milk in its new home and read the note.

Sakura,

Sorry I wasn't able to help you unload, although I unloaded my share. I'm sorry but I had to run. I was…tired and I needed some sleep. School took more out of me than I thought! Hahaha! Well, I'm glad I could take you to the store and grab some stuff, see you tomorrow for school!

Naruto Uzumaki

P.S. Sweet dreams tonight! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox…Sorry, I just had to dot that.

Sakura stared at the letter in awe. She sighed and looked at the bottom print. She had a sweet and soft smile cross her face.

"Hugs and kisses. Oh Naruto, if only I could tell you how much I think you're the one for me. Please Kami, please give me courage to tell Naruto about how I FEEL for him. How I LONG for him. I know I might be against myself to be rushing my own relationship like this, but please Kami, let Naruto and I love each other soon! I'll share my secrets, and I hope he'll share his. Kami in your name, amen." She prayed. She hoped her message reached Kami and sighed. After she set everything in its place, she walked upstairs and undressed and then got into bed. She stared at the window. She gulped and got out of bed and walked over to it. She tapped on it…nothing. She opened it and looked outside and into the tree. There was nothing but shadow of which the tree itself cast. She smiled and closed the window and locked it. She walked to bed and got in. She closed her eyes and started to fall into her dreams…

"Grrrr…" She heard. Her eyes shot OPEN! She heard something. It was…breathing? Deep, demonic breathing! She gulped and gripped the kunai under her pillow.

"…DIE!!" Sakura shouted and lunged up in attempt to STAB whatever it was that was in her room. But only thing was…nothing was there. She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and sighed. She put the kunai back under her pillow and gripped it. "What…what was that?" Sakura asked herself. She couldn't explain it. But for some reason she felt a chill in the air. It was hot and cold at the same time. She covered herself as she felt the "on," and, "off," waves of hot and cold. She shivered a bit and lay down. She could feel warmth beyond what she could EVER feel! It soother her, relaxed her. They heat that was radiating from…wherever, was something she had NEVER felt! She closed her eyes and sighed peacefully, before SUDDENLY AND ABNORMALLY QUICKLY…falling asleep.

As she sighed and slept, something was standing over her. It was tall, hunched over, it's arms dangling loosely from its shoulders. It was shadowed by the rooms darkness, but a DARK red and lightly colored orange cloak surrounded it. In the shape of two fox-like ears and a tail. It stared at the girl sleeping in the bed with its BLOOD-THIRSTY GAZE! It had to admit, Sakura was quicker than she appeared to be! It had to jump and STICK TO THE CEILING IN ORDER TO EVADE THE DEADLY BLOW TOWARDS ITS SKULL! But, either way the figure could've stopped Sakura's assault anyway possible! It just stood over her hunched and DEEPLY breathing. It's eyes finally closed a bit and it bent down towards Sakura's cheek. The figure then placed a soft, and very warm LICK on Sakura's cheek. It purred softly as it licked Sakura's cheek gently…like a kiss good-night. It stopped and used its RAZOR-SHARP CLAWS, and gently tucked the sleeping girl in her covers. With a grunt it turned around towards the window, which it had opened EVER SO QUIETLY THAT NOT EVEN SAKURA could hear, and jumped out and closed it. It gave a sad grunt and its eyes softened as it hated to see its' Sakura go. Finally, the shaded figure jumped on top of a roof and stared at Sakura through her window. Giving a look in the opposite direction, and then at Sakura it decided. It laid down, like a tiger on a perch and watched the beauty sleep. It could do this all night.

Somewhere else in Konoha…

"GRRR!! GET ME OUT OF HERE DAMMIT!!" Shouted a man! He heard a CHILDISH giggle. "WHAT!? GRR LET ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING PLACE!!!" He shouted.

"TSK, TSK, TSK YOU FATTY!!" He heard as he saw a small figure in the shadows. The man had orange hair, a black jacket and blue jeans. "So, you're Killdozer, right? Now, when big brother gets back, you're going to tell us why you were stalking Sakura each and every night, k? Let me just give you a hint of advice…if you don't want to die and get your intestines and flesh eaten tonight…I suggest you tell us everything, you know." The small boy said. His sapphire eyes gleaming in the darkness. Killdozer was chained to a wall by his wrists and ankles and blind folded, while he thrashed angrily!

"When I get out of here, you guys are dead meat!" Killdozer threatened, his charcoal black eyes covered and angry as he gritted his teeth. The small figure chuckled.

"Oh, well if it isn't the devilish fox himself. Welcome back big brother." He said. Killdozer's face paled as an opal, as he felt the dark presence of a figure standing there. It walked closer and closer until Killdozer felt his HEAT!!

"W-W-Why!? W-W-What'd you want with me!?" Killdozer shouted!

"GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The voice BLARED!!

"Oh, I suggest you tell us EVERYTHING NOW…before you submit to torture as my big brother rips out your intestine and smears it all over the walls and feasts on your bone-marrow and flesh." The figure said. Killdozer gulped. "Now…shall we big brother?" The figure asked.

"Gwrah!!" It said and nodded! The small boy GIGGLED!

"THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!!" He said. Killdozer gulped as whatever was standing right in front of him took its claws and pushed against Killdozer's skin!

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" HE YELLED IN PAIN!! The figure went in DEEPER!! "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH" HE SCREECHED!!

"Well, are you going to tell us?" The littler figure asked. Killdozer was about to answer negatively when the person near him USED ALL FIVE FINGERS AND DUG IN HARDER!!

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!! OKAY, OKAY I'LL TELL YOU!! STOP!!" Killdozer PLEADED FOR MERCY.

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!! Okay, start from SQUARE ONE, and DON'T leave ANYTHING OUT!! Or else." The small boy stated. Killdozer just nodded as he felt wet near his stomach. The figure that had dug its claws into Killdozer stared up at the sky. Thinking…of Sakura.
