Hello again! I had this chapter going, but my computer got threats and whatnot into it. So I had to do a Back-Up and Restore to fix it. Sorry about the wait. Enjoy!

K'sN&S-Hello!

Sakura-Hell there!

K'sN&S-You seem to be feeling better.

Sakura-You bet! Over these few weeks Naruto and I have…well we've both gotten closer!

K'sN&S-Oh, well I'm glad for you! So did he ask you on a date yet?

Sakura-No…not yet sadly. But that's okay, I'm sure Naruto will soon enough.

K'sN&S-I see. So…let me ask you something…do you remember anything on the night when Naruto and you went to the grocery store?

Sakura-(Turns head slightly) Sadly yes…

K'sN&S-I see…well then (Puts on the gig) Shall ve schnitzel?

Sakura-(Sigh and nods. Both sit down and Sakura lays down on the couch)

K'sN&S-Okay schnitzel. I vant you to tell me honestly. Vat happened?

Sakura-(Sighs and nods) Well, I had just gotten into bed. I laid down, but not before checking my window. I figured that, that thing might have come back to peek on me. When I saw nothing I tried to go to sleep…only problem was that…I heard the same demonic growling…and breathing in my room.

K'sN&S-I see. Und vat happened next?

Sakura-I always have a kunai under my pillow, and always grip it in my sleep. So I took the kunai and tried to kill whatever it was.

K'sN&S-Und did you succeed?

Sakura-(Sighs and shakes her head) No. Weird thing was that I found nothing there. I soon started having waves of both hot and cold rush over me. It was like a switch. One second it was cold, next it was hot…like it was turning off an on. I looked around the room…but didn't find anything. I finally laid down and closed my eyes.

K'sN&S-Anything happen next schnitzel?

Sakura-(Nods) Yes…after I laid down I felt a warm wave of heat wash over my body! It felt good! It was very close too. I wanted to move so I could kill whatever it was…but I couldn't. My body wouldn't let me. I was too mesmerized by the heat and I felt myself drift off to sleep.

K'sN&S-Anything else schnitzel?

Sakura-(Nods) Yes…almost to when I was completely asleep…I felt something wet and warm start to caress my cheek. It felt good…like someone's tongue licking my cheek. Then, after that…I felt safe. Safer even before my parents deserted me. I felt protected, and whatever it was…I hope it stays.

K'sN&S-(Takes off the gig) I see. You DO know that it could've been the demon, right?

Sakura-What'd you mean? (Sits up)

K'sN&S-(Sighs) Well, it seems to me that this demon has grown VERY attracted to you. Maybe even considers you its mate. Mating season is HOT this time of year. All the animals are in heat…and you know what happens when you're in heat…sex.

Sakura-That's preposterous! The demon isn't in love with me! I have Naruto! He…hopefully…loves me! How could you say such a thing!?

K'sN&S-Hey, I'm just stating the obvious here. Sakura, don't you think it's a little weird that Naruto and the demon are BOTH in love with you?

Sakura-I don't see your point.

K'sN&S-(Sighs) Well, let's see. A demon is commonly referred in an animalistic way, right?

Sakura-(Nods) So?

K'sN&S--SO!? Sakura don't you think it's a little weird that Naruto is always animalistic!? I mean he growls and even grunts like an animal!

Sakura-NO! Naruto's not the demon if that's what you're saying!

K'sN&S-SAKURA!!! You can't deny it! Naru-

Sakura-Enough! I choose not to speak about this! Now, shall we begin?

K'sN&S-(Sighs…then shrugs) Okay. We shall.

Sakura-Ready?

K'sN&S-Yes.

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

Disclaimer-I do not own Naruto.

Claimer-I own all my OWN things. Enjoy!

5 weeks later…

It had been 5 weeks! Sakura and Naruto's relationship had increased over the days and, semi-odd, nights they were together, only for a short while before Naruto took off. Over the whole weeks, Naruto had begun to show more affection for Sakura. His animalistic ways were shining BRIGHTLY as Sakura could see! Naruto even, much to Sakura's IMMEDIATE attention, even started to rub his cheeks to hers in a…foxy way. Sakura found it amusing, yet very odd as well. She had never seen Naruto do that to ANYONE! It was odd…but Sakura liked it, and as long as he didn't lick his balls, she was alright with it! Though one thing was certain…Sakura was also showing her own feelings. Since they had been spending more and more time with each other, Sakura was starting to hug and even at sometimes, cuddle with Naruto if he were to be over by a tree taking a snooze. Sakura would usually get on his left and lay her head on his shoulder while gripping his muscular arm. Sakura enjoyed it to say the least. But one thing was FOR CERTAIN…her nightmares…weren't going away nor getting better…they were getting worse.

It was dark. The moon shining brightly below the sleeping village of Konoha. All was quiet, and shaded in the moons mystic and mysterious glow. It looked eerie in a way if one was out strolling Konoha…like something would jump out at you and do whatever! The houses were silent, and nothing was heard. Sakura, in her comfy bed slept. Beads of sweat lined her forehead as she rustled around. She had kicked the covers off as she tossed in her sleep.

"N-No. P-P-Please don't. NO!" Sakura bellowed in her slumber…tossing and turning. It as the nightmare again, but different.

Sakura's Dreams…

Sakura ran! She panted as her pace of speed increased using her chakra. She didn't bother to look back, knowing IT was there running after her. She was running through the leaf village in the dead of night! The moon was a DARK RED, ALMOST BLOOD COLORED!! There were no stars out, only pitch-blackness colored the sky. Mist, surrounded Sakura's feet and eerily and slowly swept across the ground. Sakura gulped as she turned her head to look.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!" She screamed! The thing was nearly to her heels! Ever since, the thing in Sakura's dreams had GROWN DRAMATICALLY!! It was Naruto's height, size and width! Faster and it's cloak was an eerie blood-red! Sakura panted as she turned a corner! She looked ahead and saw her own house! She panted as she ran into the house, SLAMMED AND LOCKED THE DOOR! She then ran up to her room slammed and locked that door then put a chair under the door-knob! She then ran into the closet just opposite of her bed. She opened the glass sliding door and shut it, then cuddled in the corner, holding herself tight. Surprisingly, it was very warm and comfortable She was shaken as she panted. She tried to contain her breath as she knew the thing would hear her. She slowly, but surely was claming her breathing. She finally got over herself and stopped. She gulped.

Silence…dead…silence. Not a sound she didn't hear. She snuggled more into the wall, being very warm and soft, yet hard and very nice to cuddle into. She cuddled into the wall, and waited. After about 30 minutes, nothing. Sakura sighed in relief as she heard nothing but breathing. She had hand it to herself, her voice had grown deeper! She let out a BIG sigh…then stopped. There was…something wrong with her breathing. She took another deep breath, and hers was still the same as it was, light and feminine. But there was something else breathing! It was dark, and hoarse, like it had JUST been running. She gulped and gasped as she felt something wrap around her waist! She then also felt two strong objects wrap around her chest and gripped tightly! Sakura gasped as she saw, from out of NO-WHERE TWO ARMS COVERED IN A BLOOD RED COAT-LIKE OBJECT!

She looked down to her waist and gulped. It was a tail. She felt hot breathing on her neck and her eyes closed slightly. The hot breath felt rather good to her pale cold skin. It was then that she felt something wet and hot licking her neck. She moaned as she looked out from the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened! She saw the shaded thing licking her neck! SHE STRUGGLED TO GET LOSE!!! But…nothing happened. She was held fast to the things chest. She tried to scream, but couldn't find the courage to. The figure then slipped its hand up Sakura's shirt and started to rub her belly. She could feel the hot hand rubbing seductively, grazing its razor-sharp nails across her abdomen. The figure then started to suck on her neck. Sakura groaned! She couldn't help it! It the started to move its hand up to her bra and then, using its sharp nails, cut the strand holding the two pieces, in half! It started to toy with her small breasts. Sakura moaned and gasped! She closed her eyes and then opened them to look at the figure. It was licking a certain spot on her neck. She wanted to moan…but a voice made her flinch!

"She's Mine, All Mine!" Sakura heard! She gasped, but it was too late! The figure readied itself and…

"CRUNCH!!!" BIT RIGHT THROUGH HER SKIN INTO HER NECK!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed.

Reality…

Sakura's eyes hot wide open and she sat up in bed and in one exhale…

"AAAHHHHH!!!" Sakura screamed! SHE SLAPPED the back of her neck and rubbed it. She sighed as she felt nothing but bare skin. She clutched the back of her neck. She could remember the pain it sent her through. She looked at her clock, seeing it was 6:00. Sakura wiped the sweat off her forehead and was thankful. It was Saturday and Sakura's weekend. She sighed and then laid back down. She was shaking in fear from whatever it was that she was having a nightmare of. Although many things she had made clear in her dreams. Obviously this thing was infatuated with her in a sexual way. It tried to have sex with her she knew. Another was its size in height, weight, width of its body and its speed and strength! She could compare the thing to Naruto ANYDAY!! Speaking of Naruto, Sakura wondered what he was up to. "Duh! Naruto's asleep. Sakura you're acting like a dimwit. There's no way Naruto would be up this hour. I wonder…if Naruto was sleeping right here…what would it feel like?" Sakura explained then asked herself. She closed her eyes and tried to visualize Naruto cuddling her to his naked chest. She visualized his arms wrapped around her and forcing her into his body. She could smell his scent that tickled her nostrils playfully. Sakura gulped as she was getting turned on. She sighed and laid down. She wondered if she'd EVER sleep with Naruto. She knew that time would tell whether she would be with him, and she'd wait. Sakura closed her eyes, ignoring her eagerness to make love to Naruto right off the bat, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

3 hours later…

Sakura's eyes flinched as the sun irritated them. She opened them and saw the light grazing through the window. She yawned and sat up and stretched! She hopped out of bed and walked into the shower. She wondered what the agenda for today would be. She sighed and shrugged as she washed her hair of the strawberry scented shampoo. She got out, and dried herself off, then got into her clothes. Though she only wore them during school, it was the ONLY thing that seemed right to wear! She then brushed her teeth and walked downstairs. She got out some orange juice and poured herself a glass. As she drank the tangy drink she stared outside. Seeing it a beautiful and bright Saturday! Sakura wondered what it was going to be like. She could hardly wait to find her spiky-blonde crush and spend the WHOLE day with him! As she finished her orange juice she heard something at the door.

"Knock, Knock, Knock!!" She heard someone knocking. Sakura walked over to the door and opened it. Who she saw made her day!

"Morning Sakura!" Naruto greeted with a hardy wave!

"Hi Sakura!" Kishimaru greeted in his normal and hyper attitude. Sakura smiled and chuckled.

"Morning you two! Would you like to come in?" Sakura greeted and gestured. Naruto grinned and Kishimaru giggled.

"Sure, but ladies first. As always." Naruto obliged politely.

"Oh you and your gentleman's talk." Sakura stated. Naruto scratched the back of his head. Kishimaru gave a childish laugh. Sakura walked into the house, followed by her crush and his little brother. Sakura poured them both a glass of orange juice, which they both happily obliged in taking. They all sat on the couch in the nearly empty living room, happily drinking their juice. Naruto drained his glass while Kishimaru slowly took his down. Sakura sipped hers and all was silent, until Sakura decided to speak. "So, are you guys hungry at all?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, well sure!" Naruto answered. Sakura looked at Kishimaru who was sweetly smiling. The small boy looked at Sakura and sighed contently.

"I'm hungry." He stated. Naruto sweat-dropped and stared at his young sibling.

"I guess that's a confirmation?" Naruto asked. Sakura femininely giggled.

"Sounds like it to me! So what'd you two want to eat?" Sakura asked. The two looked at each other and thought. Sakura patiently waited.

"Well, how about…mmm…maybe some eggs?" Naruto asked.

"With BACON!!" Kishimaru shouted. Naruto and Sakura laughed!

"Okay!" Sakura happily cheered! She got up and started to walk into the kitchen…but not without some final words. "Naruto," Sakura started. The young man looked at her and she looked at him from over her shoulder. "Do you mind helping a young woman in the kitchen?" Sakura asked. Naruto smiled and got up.

"Of course not! I'd like to help!" Naruto answered. Naruto followed Sakura into the kitchen while Kishimaru sat there, holding his glass of orange juice with both hands. He sighed and thought about his older brother. Killdozer had told them why he was stalking Sakura. They both found out that Killdozer was COMLETELY PSYCHOTIC! He planned the KILL Sakura for his own reason! Though he wasn't EXACTLY sure why Killdozer had such a feud with her, but whatever it was…Naruto would NEVER stand for it, EVER! Kishimaru's older sibling would kill Killdozer in cold blood if the small boy couldn't help control Naruto's…other side. But either way, Kishimaru sighed and knew that his big brother loved Sakura…well now he did. He had a crush on her after the day they met, but now Naruto's true feelings were clear as crystal. Apparently spending A LOT of time with Sakura, increased his feelings MASSIVELY!!! It was as though, Naruto could already see his…well Kishimaru guessed it depended on what side he was. Dark of Light.

Dark would be considering Sakura a mate, and Light would be a girlfriend, to what Kishimaru could think at least. The small boy sighed and looked at his orange juice. He wondered if Sakura would find out about his brothers' dark side, and if she DID, what would happen? Would she accept him like NO OTHER GIRL NEVER DID!? Or would she just call out and never peak to him ever again? Kishimaru couldn't imagine what would happen if his brothers' feelings were SEVERELY damaged, like in the past. The horror of the Inner blood-lust awakening the demon within him! Kishimaru just wasn't too sure whether or not Sakura loved Naruto, but by the way she was looking at him, the small boy would've seen love from a mile away! But either way, Kishimaru COULDN'T let the past be reincarnated, EVER AGAIN!! He was going to make sure Sakura and Naruto were together forever! Kishimaru looked in the kitchen and saw his brother at the stove with Sakura right next to him, both working on breakfast. Kishimaru had some idea's about how Naruto and Sakura could…be a little more intimate. He giggled.

"What'cha laughin' 'bout squirt!?" Naruto asked from the kitchen. Kishimaru flinched and slapped his hand over his mouth. He looked to see both teens staring at him with confused looks. Kishimaru smiled as sweet as he could!

"I'm just thiiiiiinkiiiiiiing." Kishimaru answered. Naruto cocked his eyebrow.

"About whaaaaaaat?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru thought.

"My stoooooomach." He answered. Naruto and Sakura sweat-dropped. The small boy sat there like a good little devious monster that he TRULY was, except sweeter.

"Ooooookaaaaaaaay?" Naruto answered and turned back. "Little monster," Naruto said with a smile.

"Well he seems happy." Sakura stated.

"Uh huh. Listen, Sakura," Naruto started. She looked at him as he cracked another egg. "Don't let'em fool ya. On the outside he's as sweet as molasses, but on the inside," Naruto stopped.

"On the inside what?" Sakura asked. Naruto closed his eyes, chuckled and grinned.

"He's a little monster." Naruto amusingly stated. Sakura cocked her eyebrows at him and looked at Kishimaru. He was swaying back and forth humming a tune.

"Oh please, Naruto. He looks like a good little boy. In fact I bet he's an angel all over." Sakura retorted.

"Mmmm hmm. Well, let me tell ya something. When you've been living with him for nearly three years straight, you'd see him for the monster he is Sakura." Naruto answered back.

"Six-teen? But wait," Sakura started. Naruto looked at her and she thought. "But, didn't you two live together since you were born?" Sakura asked. Naruto sighed and put his hand son the table.

"Well, you may THINK that. But the truth is…I found him where NO ONE, wants to be, ever. Found him when I was JUST fifteen." Naruto explained. Sakura wanted to know more.

"Tell me more Naruto. Please?" Sakura begged politely. Naruto looked at her, and then back at the little boy. He sighed.

"Alright. Just don't mention this to him, okay? He lived in hell for seven years Sakura. All because he was…special." Naruto stated. Sakura nodded.

"I promise Naruto." Sakura answered. Naruto smiled and gave a accepting nod.

"Okay, it all started when I was on a mission to the village hidden in the Sound, since I had JUST become Jonin, due to my EXTREME experience as a ninja…" Naruto started.

Flashback 3 years ago…

Naruto, a new Jonin ninja swiftly whisked through the trees of the sound's territory. He was searching for a sacred scroll that Orochimaru was supposedly hiding. All the while he was searching for someone precious to him as well. Rumors that Naruto wasn't the only Uzumaki had spread like WILD-FIRE!! Naruto had caught these rumors and held them FAST to his heart! He was going to find his family member, even if it KILLED HIM! Naruto was a rogue ninja, passing from place to place, from village to village TRYING to earn respect from EVERYONE he saw or who looked at him. He was, as thy called him…the "Demon of Death," since whenever he'd, "lose," his control in a safe area, he'd become something NO ONE would DARE mess around with! He had earned his Jonin rank from a ninja village located in Sunagakure. But, even though they offered him a brown vest…he wanted orange.

Yes, Naruto wanted an orange Jonin vest, which they all argued with him over, but he got it. He was wearing an orange Jonin vest, a sleeveless navy muscle-shirt underneath with fingerless orange and black gloves, with black and orange sweat-pants, and black sandals, that rose up past his ankles a bit. He had a headband on that had the Libra Spiral symbol with long black straps in the back, flowing ever-so loosely from behind. He jumped from one tree-branch to the next at LIGHTINING SPEEDS! He searched the area from any enemies, trying to locate their chakra signature. He had a few senses, but they were weak, probably miles away. He proceeded with EXTRA-CAUTION as he saw Orochimaru's hide-out! His cerulean eyes scanned the area for any other ninja or traps. He saw that the hide-out was LINED with thick, strong and ALMOST invisible threads, that connected somewhere. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. He took out a kunai from his holster and threw it, with beautiful accuracy! It landed on the spot and sent a RAINING SHOWER OF WEAPONS INTO THE FIELD OF THE HIDE-OUT. He sighed as he jumped down, the weapons stopping their raining form. Naruto walked inside the hide-out, seeing a LONG and dark hallway, lit by ONLY candles.

"Tch, just like Orochimaru. Guess the candle light is good for disappearing with little boys undetected. I bet he pounds his own troops' asses if they do a good job on their missions. Tch, flat-nosed fucker." Naruto retorted to himself, also grinning, but his mind soon gave him a disdainful mental image! "UGH! NASTY!" Naruto shouted. He gasped and shut his mouth. He mentally scolded himself, "Dummy, you're going to get yourself killed!" He mentally stated. Another voice spoke in his mind, also scolding him. "Yeah, yeah, I heard ya. Jeez, I know what I'm doing." Naruto said mentally. He walked through the hallways, on full guard. He had a kunai lined with chakra steel in his hands, with a sneaky explosive tag under some tape he put on the handle. Naruto looked around, seeing doors lining the hallway. "Damn, sure are a lot of doors." Naruto said to himself. He opened one and saw it was only a room. He closed it and looked forward. He tried every door he could FIND until he came upon an…old-fashioned looking door, lined with sculpted snakes. He opened the door and sweat-dropped. "Of course. The fancy door is ALWAYS the one that contains the jewel." He said as he saw a golden scroll on a pedestal shaped like a hand that said "Sacred," on it. Naruto walked over and snatched the scroll and put it in his holster. "Well, that was easy." Naruto said grinning.

"Duh it was dumbass. It was a trap to lure you in here so we could kill you and get our reward from Orochimaru." A man said.

"And would that "reward," happen to be losing her anal virginity?" Naruto asked. He looked behind him and saw 5 Sound ninja, surrounding him.

"Such ignorance! Don't you DARE INSULT LORD OROCHIMARU!" Another man SHOUTED! Naruto grinned.

"I can already tell you've had it in the ass a little TOO hard, and a little TOO much!" Naruto said chuckling. The ninja's eyes sharpened and Naruto yawned. "Now, if you all don't want to die, I suggest that you please move aside so I can leave." Naruto apathetically stated. The ninja were getting PISSED! The one that told Naruto to never insult Orochimaru had, had ENOUGH!

WARNING!! WARNING!! EXTREME GORE DETAIL!!! EXTREME GORE!!!

"DIE YOU LITTLE FUCKER!!" The ninja SHOUTED and ran towards Naruto at LIGHT SPEED! Naruto sighed. He opened his hand and shook his head. He turned around and they COLLIDED! Naruto had an apathetical look on his face as the Sound ninja's eyes widened. He dropped the kunai he was holding and looked at Naruto. "Y-Y-…W-W-What?" The ninja asked in HORROR! Naruto sighed.

"I told ya you're gonna die. After all, your death is just (Grunt) a heart…BEAT…AWAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!" NARUTO SHOUTED AS HE RIPPED THE NINJA'S HEART RIGHT OUT OF HIS CHEST!!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" The ninja SCREAMED AS BLOOD GUSHED EVERYWHERE! Naruto held the heart in his hands, blood oozing down his fingers. He had blood on his face and clothes. He grinned and he CRUSHED the organ and dropped it. The ninja fell backwards, a gigantic hole in his chest. A pool of blood started to trail its way around the body of the Sound Ninja. The other 4 were stupefied and scared SHITLESS! Naruto wiped his mouth from the red liquid and grinned.

"Next." He said waving them over to him. They all gulped in horror as Naruto started to walk towards them, killer intent rising! They backed away, and Naruto kept walking forward.

"SCREW THE REWARD!! RUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!" One Ninja shouted! The others nodded and STREAKED OUT THE DOOR!! But failed as Naruto disappeared and re-appeared right in front of them. They shrieked! Naruto chuckled maniacally.

"Awe, c'mon. That's no fun at all, now is it?" Naruto asked opening his arms in a shrugging gesture. The others backed away and Naruto shook his head and clicked his tongue. "You call yourself ninja too. I'm deeply disappointed in you guys." Naruto stated. The were HORRIFIED STILL! "Oh well…time to die." Naruto said shaking his head. The others didn't have time to run before Naruto put a kunai in his mouth (by the handle…mind you) and LUNGED TOWARD THEM!! Naruto started off by SLICING one of the ninja's necks! Then followed through with a straight kick to the chest! Then did a back-kick flip onto the Ninja's head! Naruto then straightened the kunai in his mouth and tilted his head back and threw the kunai with his mouth, PIERCING the ninja's heart! Naruto looked over at the other three as they flinched!

"His blood-lust! IT'S TOO MUCH!!" One shouted! Naruto snorted. He then STREAKED LIKE LIGHTNING and gripped one of the ninja's arms before RIPPING THE LIMP CLEAN OFF! Blood drained and she man SCREAMED IN PAIN! Naruto the started to use the appendage the BEAT THE LIVING SHOT OUT OF THE OTHERS. Naruto balled the fist of the Ninja's arm and swung it in the Ninja, of which he got his NEW weapon from, nailing the ninja SQUARE IN THE NOSE, causing the bone to stab his brain! He fell, dead to the floor and Naruto tossed the arm away.

"Oooookay. Now. Let's see. How about you?" Naruto asked pointing at a ninja. He jumped. "Now C'mon, let's see what'cha got. I'll give ya ten second head start. Okay?" Naruto asked. The ninja trembled. "Okay, ready…GO!" Naruto shouted. The Ninja darted for the door, but stopped when Naruto grabbed him and sighed. "Jeez, you could've killed me if you wanted to. (Sigh) I guess you missed your chance buddy…well, nice knowin' ya." Naruto said grinning with his eyes shot. Before the Ninja had even A CHANCE to escape, Naruto gripped his head and started to PULL!!!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The ninja screamed as Naruto, with his bare bloody hands, RIPPED THE NINJA'S HEAD CLEAN OFF!!! The body fell to the ground as blood squirt up from the head part of the ninja's body. Naruto looked at the, semi-alive head.

"Hello!" Naruto said perkily at the head. The ninja couldn't say anything, since his voice box was cut off. He then died. Naruto tossed the Ninja's head up and down like a ball before THROWING IT AT THE WALL!

"SPLAT!" The head SPLATTERED. It sent blood, brain and pieces of skull out. Naruto laughed and then looked at the last remaining Ninja with his hands on his hips. The ninja cowered!

"Now that's a messy clean-up! Don't ya agree buddy?" Naruto asked. The ninja gulped and shrieked as Naruto DASHED TOWARDS HIM!!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" The Ninja screamed!

"DON'T BE A PUSSY!! NOW C'MON AND FIGHT LIKE A-OOOF!!" Naruto couldn't finish his sentence as the Ninja STABBED him in the stomach. Naruto leaned over and the Ninja's eyes widened! Naruto started to laugh. "Haha…Hashanah..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!! NOW THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!! C'MON!! SHOW ME BLOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!" Naruto SHOUTED! The Ninja GASPED AS NARUTO'S EYES TURNED A BLOOD-RED AND HIS WHISKERS DARKENED! ALONG WITH HIS RAZOR-SHARP NAILS AND FANGS. Mauling spiky-hair to match! The Ninja gulped as Naruto licked his fangs…hungrily. "I've got something "special," in store for you." Naruto demonically stated. The Ninja trembled as Naruto gave a blood-thirsty grin. "GWRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Naruto SCREAMED!! He GRABBED THE NINJA'S WRIST AND SHATTERED THE BONE!! The Ninja BELLOWED IN PAIN AND AGONY! It only fueled Naruto's blood-lust. Naruto then dislodged the kunai from his, now healed stomach…which was growling and LUNGED AT THE NINJA! Naruto tackled him to the ground and gazed upon the Ninja's body. He licked his lips and fangs, ready for the "Special," treatment. Naruto growled evilly and if he had his tail, it's be WAGGING LIKE MAD. Naruto took out his claws and they sharpened! "Okay Mr. Uzumaki…dig in." Naruto stated before RAMMING HIS CLAWS INTO THE NINJA'S BACK AND RIPPING HIM OPEN!!! Naruto opened his mouth…and started to feast upon the Ninja's insides.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................(Munch, chew, swallow)

30 minutes later…

Blood was everywhere. All over the walls, the ceilings and just a plain MESS! Naruto stood up and had turned back to his…normal self. He wiped his lips with his wrist and looked at it. Fresh blood. He shrugged and wiped it on the wall. He looked down and grinned as he saw nothing but bones…and blood.

"WHEW! (Burp) I'm stuffed! Although I have to admit that was DISGUSTING! Ptoi!" Naruto spat blood on the ground! Naruto picked his teeth and sighed, putting his BLOODY hands on his hips. He looked at himself in a mirror. Blood was smothered all over his face and clothes and…well he was a TOTAL BLOODY MESS!!! Naruto sighed, puffing his cheeks out and walked towards the door. He gripped the handle when he heard…whimpering? He looked around and saw a small cabinet that was slightly opened. He walked over to it and knelt down, placing his right arm on his right knee and opened the cabinets. There, he saw a small boy…a VERY SMALL boy. He had gray hair in two strand that reached his shoulders, with small orange clips that gripped the bottom end, barely touching them, sapphire eyes. He wore a small sapphire cloak with white ends that circled around the ends of his cloak. The little boy huddled in the cabinet, scared TO DEATH!! "Hey there little guy. What's wrong?" Naruto asked. The boy shook in fear as Naruto stared at him with a small smile. "Hey, don't be scared. I'm not gonna hurt you." Naruto said in a reassuring tone. The small boy said nothing and just huddled in the tiny cabinet. Naruto's smile saddened a bit. This tiny by was scared silly of him for some reason. It took a few seconds, but it SLAMMED INTO NARUTO'S BRAIN!! His eyes widened and looked behind him. Seeing the gore. Naruto licked his lips and the boy gasped!

"DON'T EAT ME!!!" The boy shouted! Small tears made their way down his cheeks as the little boy started crying! Naruto gasped.

"Oh NO! I'm not going to…umm…eat you. Look I won't hurt you, I promise, okay?" Naruto asked and held out both hands. The boy sniffed and looked at Naruto. Hearing him say he promised the boy still had some of his doubts.

"Do you (Sniff) promise?" The boy asked still crying.

"I ALWAYS keep my promises. Now C'mon." Naruto said reassuringly. The boy slowly moved out of the cabinet and Naruto finally scooped him up in his arms. The boy held his hands together as Naruto grinned at him. The boy gasped and closed his eyes and put his hands up in defense! Naruto looked at him. "What?" Naruto asked. The boy didn't looked at him and Naruto cocked his eyebrow and grinned. He saw a piece of flesh stuck in his teeth. "Oh!" Naruto stated and picked his teeth, then flicked the flesh away. Naruto saw the trembling boy. "It's okay, don't be scared. I won't hurt you." Naruto comforted. He rubbed the boys' back gently, trying to calm him down. "Shhhh, don't worry, everything's going to be okay." Naruto comforted again. He made sure the small boy wasn't facing all of the gore and such. After a few minutes the boy calmed down. "There we go, it's okay. Hey, what's your name anyway?" Naruto asked. The boy gave a sniff before answering.

"K-K-Kishimaru U-U-Uzumaki." The little boy said. Naruto nodded.

"Cool, my name is Naruto Uzu-" He stopped. His eyes widened and Kishimaru stared at him.

"Your name is Naruto Uzu?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto shook his head.

"Wait! What's your last name again!?" Naruto asked.

"U-U-Uzumaki." Kishimaru stuttered. Naruto was dumb-founded. It was his lost sibling! Kishimaru stared at Naruto, who had tears slightly coming from his eyes. "Are you okay?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto said nothing.

"Little Bro." Naruto said weeping in joy and hugged Kishimaru. The boy had NO IDEA what was going on at all! "My name (Sniff) is Naruto…Naruto Uzumaki!" He said. Kishimaru flinched a bit.

"W-W-What?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto looked at him, tears coming from his eyes.

"You're my little brother Kishimaru! I can't believe I found you here!" Naruto shouted rubbing his cheek against Kishimaru's and kissing him on the forehead. Kishimaru stared in awe! This was his brother!? The small boy said nothing…then hugged Naruto.

"Big brother!" Kishimaru shouted!

"Little bro!" Naruto shouted back as they hugged! Naruto had fresh tears streaming down his face as he kissed Kishimaru's cheek over and over before laying his head on the little boy's shoulder and then putting his head in the crook of the boys neck, then kissing his cheek again. Naruto felt happy…no…RELIEF AND EXCITEMENT THAT HE HAD FINALLY FOUND HIS BROTHER!!! Naruto cried in joy. "Kishimaru (Sniff) never leave me (Sob) again. I'll be with you forever, believe it!" Naruto shouted, sing his favorite catch-phrase. Kishimaru and Naruto hugged for a LONG time before Naruto finally exited the lair, with everything, but his grief and worries.

Flashback ends…

By the time Naruto finished, he had tears streaming down his eyes! He silently sobbed and sniffed, wiping his eyes with his wrist. He had told her everything! Everything EXCEPT the GORE! He didn't want Sakura thinking he was a bad person! Sakura watched in awe as Naruto silently cried. She could hardly believe it…Naruto was weeping. Sakura couldn't take it! She didn't like…no she HATED seeing people break down! Sakura wrapped her arms around his torso and gave him a warm embrace. Naruto's tears fell in her pink-hair. She hugged him tighter as she felt his warm, and wet tears of sadness hit her scalp. Sakura rubbed his back gently and extended her hand up and gripped the back of his head.

"It's okay Naruto. Just as long as Kishimaru is safe, Orochimaru can't do anything." Sakura comforted. Naruto sobbed.

"Sakura (Sniff) just think about what would've happened if I didn't get that mission Sakura." Naruto said. Sakura didn't want to think. She knew Orochimaru was a HORRIBLE man! But he was dead, thanks to Sasuke, and everything was now okay. Sakura hugged him tighter as Naruto gripped her back and wrapped his arm around her waist. Nearby, looking around the corner, Kishimaru was watching. He had hear the WHOLE thing. Naruto was right, Kishimaru didn't enjoy his past being exposed. But he gave a small and silent sigh as he stared at Naruto and Sakura, hugging. He smiled as he saw Sakura, comforting his older sibling. Kishimaru couldn't be ANY happier than what he was feeling.

Naruto and Sakura were acknowledging each other as beginning lovers. Kishimaru had seen them both hug, and cuddle also! The boy always felt good when he saw them both expressing feelings for each other. But one thing was for sure, Naruto and Sakura were looking out for each other. The small boy watched as his older sibling clutched Sakura in his arms. He hadn't seen Naruto cry like this since 3 years ago in Orochimaru's hide-out. Kishimaru liked it when Naruto let out his feelings, it made him feel good inside to know that Sakura was there for him. Naruto laid his forehead in Sakura's pink-hair. She felt his nose touch her head and buried her face into his chest. His scent graced her nostrils. It was a peaceful moment, and Naruto got over and in control of his emotions. Sakura heard him give a big sniff and smiled, then patted his back and rubbed it.

"Well, at least Orochimaru's dead now. So nothing can go wrong." Sakura explained. Naruto had found out that Orochimaru died, and was he EVER GLAD to hear it! "Naruto," Sakura started. He didn't answer as the sweet scent of strawberries mesmerized him. "You should just forget about some things in the past, you know? Can you do that for me?" Sakura asked sweetly. Naruto gave a silent nod. Sakura contently smiled and continued to hug him. Kishimaru's eyes softened as he disappeared around the corner of the kitchen, reciting words in his mind.

"Maybe she WILL love you after all big brother." Kishimaru mentally stated, with a hidden smile. Naruto and Sakura both stayed that way for a good 5 minutes. Sakura felt like it had been eternity hugging Naruto, and she wanted that eternity to last EVEN LONGER. But to her dismay, they had to cook breakfast. They both separated and Sakura looked into Naruto's deep blue cerulean eyes. They were a bit red from his tears. Sakura wiped them gently away with a soft smile. Naruto stared at her in a bit of awe, which made Sakura giggle. She then turned towards the stove and with Naruto at her side, both started to fix breakfast and put it on the fast track. It had only been a few minutes before breakfast was hot and ready. "Kishimaru time to-" Sakura was cut off.

"BREAKFAST!! Oh goodie! My belly's a rumblin'!!!" Kishimaru shouted! Naruto and Sakura looked at each other, but then sweat-dropped and blushed as their stomachs BOTH growled. "Hehehe! Looks like I'm not the ONLY one! C'mon, let's dig in!" Kishimaru explained! Naruto grinned and scratched the back of his head.

"Okay, okay! C'mon Sakura, let's dish out what we got here and stuff our faces!" Naruto cheerily shouted! Sakura laughed and nodded. They dished out eggs and bacon and feasted upon the breakfast while they chatted about what today was going to be like. Kishimaru STILL had some intimate things to do to Naruto and Sakura. The little junior prankster loved it when he did something to his brother. He had A LOT of things in mind for Naruto and Sakura both, and by the day was over, he thought…

"Big brother's gonna have a girlfriend…mate…thingy." He stated trying to figure out which on was most appropriate. He sighed and shrugged. But either way, he was going to have A LOT of fun today! For sure! He giggled at the thought of some of the things he was going to do. Naruto and Sakura, both chewing their food caught him giggling.

"What's so funny squirt?" Naruto asked. The small boy stopped and looked, seeing Naruto's cheeks puffed. Kishimaru quickly thought of his "Escape Plan," and giggled childishly.

"PUFFY CHEEKS!!!" Kishimaru shouted pointing at Naruto's stuffed mouth. Naruto looked at Sakura with his eyebrow cocked. She sighed.

"Kids will be kids, won't they?" Sakura asked. Naruto swallowed and took a sip of his orange juice, then shrugged.

"I guess so." Naruto answered back. Sakura let out a small giggle. They finished their breakfast and cleaned their plates in the sink, Kishimaru offering to help. Naruto and ESPECIALLY SAKURA, loved the idea! All three were washing dishes. Kishimaru setting them on the rack, Sakura drying and Naruto cleaning. It was a three way step! Kishimaru glanced at the two teens from the right corner of his eye. He started to formulate a plan. He finally found something worth-while trying. He set the last of the dishes in the rack and looked over at the two teens. They were chatting about something and Kishimaru took his plan into activation. The small boy smiled sweetly as he sighed loudly and looked outside. Naruto and Sakura stared at him. "What's up?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru chuckled.

"Oh, nothing much. Juuuust thinking about how the flowers in the field are in full bloom. It'd be a nice place to go for a change. Then maybe a visit to the cherry blossom trees! It smells GOOD OVER THERE!" Kishimaru explained. Naruto sweat-dropped and Sakura smiled.

"Sounds like a good idea to me. I could use a small breather from school anyway. Want to go Naruto?" Sakura asked. Naruto sighed and shrugged.

"I guess. Well, C'mon you two, let's head to the fields." Naruto said a bit unimpressed. Naruto wanted to go to the training fields more than the flower fields. But he wanted to be a gentleman and let ladies go first, by all means Sakura. Kishimaru just liked to screw around in the fields. "This is gonna be boring…" Naruto thought. They all stepped outside into the shining sunlight as they saw people pass and wave to them. They surely waved back and headed towards their destination. The three passed by places and people. Kishimaru happily waved the EVERY SINGLE PERSON, they passed! Naruto felt a bit embarrassed from his little bros. antics. But he lived with it, while Sakura enjoyed her stroll with both of them. They didn't say anything, well Naruto and Sakura didn't. All they heard were "Hello's," and, "Bye's," from Kishimaru. They continued until they reached beautiful field filled with flowers of ALL colors, gently and innocently swaying in the breeze. Kishimaru gave a surprised gasp and laughed!

"Last one there's a rotten egg!" Kishimaru shouted. Naruto and Sakura laughed and ran after him. Kishimaru found this time to be…THE MOST APPROPRIATE TIME, to do his little plan and kick it into gear. He stopped dead center and looked behind him. Sakura had reached him and Naruto still ran down the hill. He looked at his big brothers fleet-footed quickness and gave a NASTY AND EVIL SMIRK! Sakura noticed it and looked at him a bit confused as to why Kishimaru was making such a repulsive face.

"Kishimaru, why are you making that face?" Sakura asked. Kishimaru stopped his antics and smiled innocently.

"Oh, no reason. Just thinking of something, that's all. Oh, here comes big brother." Kishimaru stated. Sakura stared at him and then looked, seeing Naruto blaze down the hill. She laughed and waved! Naruto smiled and Kishimaru gave a grin. "This IS going to be fun!" He said and got into position, a few steps in front of Sakura and where Naruto was running, which was TOWARDS Sakura. Kishimaru stretched and watched as Naruto got closer and closer and then GIGGLED AND THEN… "Whoops, my bad!" Kishimaru said INNOCENTLY AS HE PUT OUT HIS HEEL AND TRIPPED NARUTO, SENDING HIM SOARING INTO SAKURA! Kishimaru watched as Naruto yelled and crashed into Sakura! She YELPED! Naruto seemed to hold her fast to his chest as they both rolled down the hill farther! Kishimaru stood on his tippy-toes and his neck moved his head down as he watched the two teens topple over the flowers. "That was fun!" Kishimaru said. "YAY!!!" He shouted and clapped his hands! He was TRULY devious indeed. He skipped merrily like a little boy down the fields, keeping his eyes on the, still rolling, teens. "HAHA! YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE A ROLLYPOLLI FROM HERE!!" Kishimaru shouted! He giggled! He saw Naruto and Sakura stop rolling nearly 20 feet down the hill! "MY TURN!!" Kishimaru shouted as he got on his belly and in one shout…"WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted as he ROLLED down the hill. "LOOK AT ME! I'M A ROLLYPOLLI!!! WHOO HOO!!!!!" He blared out to the world. He rolled faster and faster and FASTER!! "WHOA WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" He shouted dizzily! He rolled at Naruto and Sakura's speed, which WAS fast! But he had, like normal 10 year olds, a GLORIOUS time! He finally stopped down and gently bumped into Naruto and Sakura. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT WAS FUN!! LET'S DO IT AGAIN!" He suggested. He heard no answer and looked at his older sibling and Sakura. Naruto was on-top of Sakura, yet again and Kishimaru giggled childishly! He sighed and looked at the two teens. He cocked his eyebrow and shook them both. "Hey big brother, you tripped back there on a rock! You can get off Sakura now." Kishimaru explained. No answer. He shook Naruto…no movement. He shook harder! "C'mon silly-head, wake up! C'MON!" Kishimaru shouted shaking Naruto harder! It was then that he GASPED! "OH NO!!! I KILLED MY BROTHER!! MAY-DAY! MAY-DAY! MAN THE LIGHT-BULBS!!! WE GOT A MAN DOWN!!!" Kishimaru shouted and ran around in circles! As he did his antics, Naruto and Sakura laid on top of each other. Though Sakura was below Naruto, she thought she had almost PASSED OUT from all the BLOOD rushing to her head! Naruto felt the same way to as they both stared at each other, WIDE-EYED! Although, Naruto DID have to thank Kishimaru, after all, the position he was in, and the fact that his crotch was against Sakura's was A HIT! But that wasn't the problem.

"Oh my Kami! He's…HE'S…" Even Sakura's mental voice stuttered! Naruto was thinking a bit differently though.

"Okay, first thing to do is enjoy this moment, second thing to do is ring my brother's NECK! Tch, 'big brother, you tripped over a rock!" Naruto said acting like Kishimaru. " PLEASE! I saw that foot a MILE away! Damn little monster. But I gotta give him props, this is just AWESOME!" Naruto shouted in glee! Sakura's face was lit up like a BRIGHT RED cherry tomato!!! This was something she…didn't expect. "Wow, Sakura's blushing madly…hmm…I wonder why…oh yeah, maybe it's because…oh…OUR LIPS ARE CONNECTED!!!" Naruto bellowed in his mind! Yes indeed! After Kishimaru had tripped Naruto purposely he had latched onto Sakura, which when they were rolling down the hill, their lips connected. But either way, Naruto just wished that HE had gotten Sakura's lips by himself, without Kishimaru's help. But either way, he was enjoying this moment, TO THE FULLEST! Seeing Sakura's bright red face, made him blush also, though not AS bright as her. Sakura gulped. She took time to read his lips. They were soft, though not as soft as hers, they were not blemished, and they were moist and felt EXCELLENT! She wanted to DEEPEN, the kiss, but found herself at a stalemate, to which she was UNABLE to. Naruto also felt like deepening the kiss, though he wasn't sure how she would react, less his "Wild Side," come roaring out! Naruto's lips slowly parted from hers and he stared at her. Their breathing beginning to synchronize. Even though you couldn't SEE it…you could feel that their feelings were forming right then and there, building stronger. Kishimaru had seen what they had been doing and held his HEAD HIGH AND PUT HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS! HE was VERY PROUD of himself! He watched as Naruto rolled off Sakura, both blushing MADLY! Sakura sat up, supported by her hands while Naruto supported himself with his right knee.

"Nice one big brother! Haha!" Kishimaru giggled childishly! Naruto gave him a stern look!

"GRRRA! GET BACK HERE YOU!" Naruto shouted standing up and running after his brother!

"WAHHH!" Kishimaru shouted! He ran away from his brother! Sakura watched and couldn't help but laugh! Kishimaru's arms flailing behind his back while Naruto's stretched out to try and grab him!

"I'M GONNA RING YOUR NECK FOR FORCING THAT KISS!!!" Naruto shouted! Kishimaru gulped as he ran around.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER BIG BROTHER!! I THOUGHT YOU LIKED THAT FIRST KISS!! HAHAHA!" Kishimaru shouted back! Naruto eyed him.

"THAT WAS NO DAMN "FIRST KISS," DON'T LISTEN TO HIM SAKURA! NOW GET BACK HERE!" Naruto shouted! Kishimaru and Sakura laughed as Naruto let out a few growls from the back of his throat. Sakura put her hand to her mouth and laughed femininely! Naruto stared at her as she giggled and laughed. Kishimaru smiled!

"SEEEEE BIG BROTHER!? SAKURA'S LAUGHING!!! C'MON LAUGH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kishimaru laughed! Naruto groaned, thinking it wasn't very humorous. This continued for a LONG time before both were spent! They both laid down in the flowers, panting. Sakura, sitting on her knees, smiled at the both of them.

"I-I'm still (Pant) not through (Pant) with ringing your neck (Pant) yet." Naruto panted.

"You (Pant) Wouldn't do that (Pant) to me. It'd be a (Pant) nightmare for you if I got hurt. You said that (Pant) remember?" Kishimaru explained.

"Touché…" Naruto answered back. Kishimaru gave a tired laugh. Sakura smiled down at the two.

"You two do share a perfect brotherly bond." Sakura stated. Naruto and Kishimaru looked at each other and smiled. Sakura gave a chuckle. "I'll also let that 'kiss' slide this time." Sakura stated. Kishimaru groaned and Naruto blushed a bit, same with Sakura!

"That wasn't a kiss. That was just a heel tripping me and planting my lips firm, that's all." Naruto explained crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yeah right big brother, I saw you enjoying that ravishing moment of Sakura's pinky lips." Kishimaru stated. Naruto sent him a glance as Kishimaru laughed! Sakura sighed and looked at the sky with a smile caressing her face. The flowers in the fields smelt great as the scents tickled her nose gently. She looked around, seeing red, blue, yellow, green and a lot of other colors. She wondered through, was there REALLY a GREEN flower? It never really crossed her mind though, but she liked the sight of it. Pink, orange and other colors also came into view. Sakura smiled and closed her eyes and laid down in the flowers next to Naruto. Naruto and Kishimaru were arguing whether or not that was a real kiss! "Was too." Kishimaru stated.

"Was not!" Naruto shouted back!

"Was too!" Kishimaru blared.

"Was not!" Naruto argued!

"Oh yes it was!" Kishimaru said back. Naruto groaned and growled at him!

"Was not!"

"Was too!"

"Was not!

"Was too!"

"Was too!" Naruto said grinning.

"Was not!" Kishimaru shouted. Naruto smiled.

"If you say so." He said grinning. Kishimaru took a while to think before he found out he had been led to say what he intended was opposite!

"HEY! NOT FAIR!" Kishimaru whined! Naruto laughed!

"Hey, you said it yourself! "Was not," so there!" Naruto laughed! Kishimaru pouted.

"Humph!" He pouted. Naruto laughed again and then felt something saddle right next to him. He looked as saw Sakura, cuddled to him. Naruto smiled and laid down with her. She, over that past few weeks had cuddled a bit with him. It was really something Naruto enjoyed sharing with Sakura, which was his warmth. He closed his eyes as the suns warmth warmed his tanned skin. Kishimaru looked over and seeing the sight made him feel warm inside. Forgetting the farce with his brother over whether or not it was a TRUE KISS, he smiled and laid down in the flowers. The scents made him relax, along with the warmth from that big ball of fire in space. Yes, it was a relaxing moment. Sakura opened her eyes, half-lidded, and finally snuggled closer to Naruto. Naruto felt her rustling and wrapped an arm around her, to make sure she knew he wasn't leaving. He finally fell asleep, along with the other two, one of which he loved brotherly, and the other of which he LONGED for to love deeply and sincerely.

2 hours later…

The sun, high in the sky. The afternoon shining on three people sleeping in the field of flowers. Naruto and Sakura, slept arm to arm, linked like they were lovers and Kishimaru slept all over the place, his arms spread out along with his legs. Naruto opened his eyes half-lidded and yawned silently. His eyes opened a bit more until the light gave a him a small blinding, then adjusted to it. His head sat up and looked around. Seeing the flowers his brain found the memories of what happened…however long ago. He sighed and looked at Sakura and his younger sibling. He smiled and laid down with Sakura, cuddling her to his body. To be honest, he couldn't really control himself. He knew Sakura was anxious for his love, but reason being, she didn't want to 'rush' him on it. Naruto actually didn't mind being rushed sometimes, though sometimes he did. Still, when it came to love, Naruto could RUSH without hassle! He was hated when young, and is sometimes still hated by only a few people. But, Sakura and her friends, teachers are different. They actually accepted him, though he had also to know that they didn't know what he really was. They sill had no clue. The only one that knew was the little brother that he loved with his heart.

He hoped Sakura would come to see his P.O.V. and love him just as Kishimaru does, but not a brotherly love, a FULL-SCALE love, consisting of passion and often times, he hoped, lust. Though most times Naruto REALLY LUSTED for Sakura, he contained, less that thing inside him be awakened by his horniness and take control of him. Naruto sighed. It was EVERYDAY, that he had to control himself. EVERYNIGHT, that he had to release himself in his true form. He couldn't do it around people in the day time, or they'd surely run him out of the village for sure! So, he and Kishimaru had both agreed to wait till night-time, then release. Naruto stared at Sakura. He NEVER, wanted to hurt her. She was beautiful girl, and he could plainly see that she loved him. Though it also got Naruto curious as to where her parents were, he knew she had them…but fact was he was jealous and envious of her. She had parents, yet he did not. He thought of it as unfair, but he couldn't complain. He was 18 for Kami's-Sake! He sighed and just stared at Sakura. He could really see her peaceful slumber, and to be at a stalemate, he couldn't think of anything ELSE to do when spending time with her. He wanted her, longed for her and just…well he wished she was his. He WAS going to get Sakura, he wasn't going to be left out this time from love he TRULY desired! Sakura was just something he needed. All the time he spent alone and hated. It made him once want to commit suicide, but Kishimaru had stopped him! He was glad the boy did, or he would have NEVER met Sakura. He smiled and enjoyed the moment with Sakura. For nearly 30 minutes Naruto cuddled with her, making sure she was enjoying his warmth. Sakura rustled underneath his warmth, like a newborn baby chick ready to hatch from an egg. Naruto saw her as she half-lidded her eyes and yawned. She stared at something blurry, the vision had to adjust before she saw who was cuddling her. Surely, she saw him, that blond that she crushed over and at most times ridiculously blushed over. A small tint of pink came across her face as she smiled.

"Hey beautiful, sleep good?" Naruto asked grinning WILDLY. That REALLY got Sakura red! She thought about nearly PASSING OUT from the blood rushing to her cheeks.

"B-B-Beautiful? Naruto thinks I'm…beautiful?" Sakura asked herself. Though nothing came up, Sakura could very much feel that, coming from Naruto's mouth, she was attractive to him. "I slept great. Better than I have been seeping these past few weeks at least." Sakura answered. Naruto apathetically stared into her eyes, her surprised expression letting him know that she was shocked by such a long face.

"So you're still having…" Naruto started. Sakura nodded. "I see, but you didn't because why?" Naruto asked. Sakura shrugged. It was a good question. Why didn't she have nightmares like last night and such? One thing popped into her mind though.

"Maybe because I feel…safer with you." Sakura answered. Naruto's apathetical expression disappeared and a look of surprise formed. Sakura just stared at him as he looked into her jade eyes.

"You f-feel…safe with me?" Naruto asked. Sakura knew it was true. She felt like an indestructible house was formed over her when Naruto was around. She smiled.

"The safest." Sakura answered him. Naruto was shocked, yet he felt greatly loved! She felt safe around him, and it couldn't make the blond teen happier! Naruto felt appreciated for living now.

"Well then, I'll……" He wanted to say he'd protect her, but he felt it was too sudden for some reason. "Wait! NO! I MUST PROTECT HER WITH MY LIFE! She's the ONLY one normal girl who's EVER felt this way for me! I MUST! She must be protected! I'll die before I let her if it comes to that point!" Naruto mentally bashed into his brain! "Well then, if that's the case, Sakura. Then I'll protect you." Naruto answered her. Sakura stared at him, her expression priceless to him. Her beautiful face and eyelashes made her look like she was…to good for him. He started to think about if she was TOO good for him, that she deserved someone better. Not a…well just not someone she's like to love. The fact that he'd MOST LIKELY kill her when he was in his REAL form…was inevitable. He wanted to savor her skin, lick her do everything to please her needs. He wanted to nip her skin and savor the flavor of it. The scent of her strawberry hair made him mourn and long for her. He felt like…kissing her. Doing almost ANYTHING…no DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE HER LOVE HIM! He wanted her badly! But, he felt she was just someone who was too good for him. Her beauty, grace and all above was something that was bound to be ruined if he got "out of control," with her. His brain was re-thinking his love…but his heart was saying something else. It was saying to his sub-conscious "Without her, you're going to be alone, most likely forever. Just because you're different on the outside, means nothing about what you harbor on the inside. It's the inside that counts, and Sakura's love will force you to withdraw from your attacks on her, then recognizing her as yours…" his heart said. Even though Naruto felt like it was a bad idea to love Sakura, his heart had a point that his brain did not. Point being that…well…he was in love, period. He smiled.

"Naruto…" Sakura started. He just stared at her lovingly. She gulped a bit. "…are you sure you're going to take that risk? I mean, I'm…not that important to-" She was stopped when Naruto cut her off.

"Did you ever think that, maybe, you were extremely important to someone else?" Naruto asked. Sakura stared at him. Her shocked expression said everything! "Sakura, out there, there's someone that considers you so important…they'd die to protect you. I'm sure of it." Naruto explained. Sakura silently gasped!

"What? Naruto…I'm not that important to them!" Sakura argued. Naruto shook his head.

"But you don't know what they think of you Sakura. For all I know…you're the most precious thing to him." Naruto explained.

"So it's a he?" Sakura asked herself. This got her curious! "Who is he?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"Well I know him personally…he thinks you're really cute, smart and beautiful." Naruto answered. Sakura's face lit up cherry red! Naruto chuckled! "Yep, and he wants you to know that he's in love with you." Naruto stated. Sakura flinched! Another person was in love with her? It couldn't be! Sakura's eyes were wide, and Naruto sighed. The fact was, that 'guy' was him. He stared at her, seeing total shock. "Yeah…but the thing is he can't let you know because he thinks you're too good for him." Naruto mentioned. Sakura just stared at him for a moment, then bit her bottom lip.

"So…he doesn't think he's worthy of my love, is that it?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"He's nervous about telling you though. But he wanted me to tell you that…he loves you with all his heart, and that he'd die to protect you." Naruto explained. Sakura was SHOCKED! She had to know!

"What's his name?" Sakura asked. Naruto gulped. He had been waiting a LONG…well only a few weeks, to tell her this. Naruto collected his courage.

"Sakura…that young man…is-" He was interrupted.

"OH MAN! THAT WAS A GOOOOOOD SLEEP! SO! What're we talking about?" Kishimaru shouted stretching! He crossed his legs in the lotus style and put his hands on the ground in curiosity. Naruto mentally sighed.

"Oh, it was nothing really. Umm…" Naruto answered. He bit his lip. "…well, shall we go now?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru smiled and nodded. Both got up and Sakura was left with a question that she died to know! She hopped up and ran over to Naruto.

"Naruto…" Sakura said. He looked at her. "You never answered my question." Sakura explained. Naruto flinched a bit…his courage was scattered and he was nervous.

"What's this about a question?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto sighed again.

"Well I was telling Sakura about a guy that loves her." Naruto answered the small boys question. Kishimaru flinched.

"Soooo! A WISE GUY EH? I'll teach that no-good lousy orangutan not to mess with Sakura! Where is he!?" Kishimaru said pulling up his sleeves and looking around. Sakura laughed! Naruto cocked his eyebrow.

"I'm an orangutan? I always like orange…but I don't have an orange ass." Naruto stated. Kishimaru cracked his knuckles. "Uh…well I'm sure he's around here…somewhere." Naruto answered. Kishimaru grinned evilly.

"Well then…looks like I'm goin' huntin'! Now…which weapon should I use?" Kishimaru asked. He pulled out a scroll. "Oh yes! Here it IIIIIIISSSSS!" Kishimaru shouted! He threw the scroll in the air, causing it to unravel. A 'POOF' was heard as a white cloud of smoke revealed…a scythe! He caught it and looked at the marvelous blade. "Okay…now I'll just go and cut this orangutan's head off, throw it in the lake near the center of the village and dispose of the body by burying it on that small island in the middle, near the head." Kishimaru explained. Sakura and Naruto sweat-dropped. The small boy gave a MANIACLE giggle. "OKAY!! WHERE'S HE!!!???" Kishimaru demanded! Naruto stared at him with an animation face of un-believability. Sakura laughed!

"Uh…why don't you go search?" Naruto stated perking up! Kishimaru saluted him.

"YES SIR! I'LL TEACH THAT BABOON TO MESS WITH SAKURA!" Kishimaru shouted! "TALLY HO!" He shouted before jumping away to find his victim.

"I hope he REALLY doesn't hurt that boy." Sakura stated. Naruto looked at her with an animation sweat-drop.

"NAH! Squirt's as soft as a teddy bear." Naruto explained.

With Kishimaru…

Kishimaru jumped from roof-top to roof-top! with the scythe in his hands and KILLER INTENT radiating off him. He was foaming at the mouth with flames as his eyes.

"OH MR. SAKURA LOVER-GUY! COME ON! I GOTS A PRESENT FOR YA!" Kishimaru shouted. He heard someone say…

"Oh! I LOVE SAKURA!" Said a man. Kishimaru grinned.

"DIE YOU ORANGATAN-BABOON!! THIS'LL TEACH YA TO MESS WITH MY BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND!" Kishimaru shouted as he foamed from the mouth with the scythe in his hands. The man sweat-dropped.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HELP HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!!" The man ran yelping while Kishimaru ran after him swinging the scythe LIKE A MAD-MAN!

Back with Naruto and Sakura…

The two teens walked back up to the village. Sakura was STILL wondering who this person that loved her was. It got her VERY curious! She looked at Naruto, seeing him not focused on her question. But…she just HAD TO KNOW!! It was stabbing her like a bloody knife over and OVER AGAIN!

"Naruto," Sakura started. Naruto looked at her as they both hiked up to the village.

"Yeah Sakura?" Naruto answered.

"You still have not answered my question." Sakura answered him back. Naruto stared at her for a few moments before sighing.

"S-Sakura…is it really that important that you know about this person?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him.

"It does now." Sakura answered. Naruto's eyes slightly widened. He mattered to her? It was a FIRST, that he ever mattered to ANYBODY! It made him nearly shout with GLEE! But he maintained. He GATHERED HIS COURAGE AGAIN! He took a deep breath. After WEEKS of this…he was FINALLY, going to tell Sakura how he felt. He couldn't CARE LESS, if it was rushed…well maybe a little. But Naruto was IMPATIENT! He gulped and Sakura listened carefully.

"Sakura Haruno…that guy…the young man that loves you with all his heart, and would die to protect you is………………………………...." Silence. Sakura listened. Naruto shook and finally spurt it out. "………it's me." He answered, finally. Sakura's eyes went wide and she gaped.
