Hello again! Well, I hope you all enjoyed that Humorous/Romantic chapter! Yet it was also VERY gory in some parts. Hmm, well anyway, I made the time-skip up to a month, just to make it a bit less rushed. Sorry if it seemed that way. Well, enjoy!

K'sN&S-Well hello again!

Sakura-H-He loves me!

K'sN&S-Who, Naruto?

Sakura-Of course! But, why so soon?

K'sN&S-(Sighs) You just don't understand the concepts of him enough I guess. Hmm, well perhaps he just couldn't wait.

Sakura-(Groans) And just what's that supposed to mean?!

K'sN&S-Look, let me tell you a little something. Maybe you should consider asking Naruto what made him tell you! Maybe he can answer your question!

Sakura-…do you think…so?

K'sN&S-Well of course! I mean, you love him and he has the same for you! I don't EXACTLY know why he told you in a different perspective, but what I do know, is that I guess his heart finally told you its feelings! Out loud.

Sakura-I see…though still, the fact that, that demon is still infatuated with me…well it just makes me nervous, that's all…and maybe a little scared too.

K'sN&S-(Sighs) I'm just going to let you find out. But in any case, I just hope you and him STAY together.

Sakura-Me too. This is my chance to show Naruto I love him!

K'sN&S-Yeah! Besides, he said he'd protect you with his LIFE!

Sakura-I know, I heard him. That's what really captured me now. Oh Naruto.

K'sN&S-Well, I guess I should start the chapter! Shall we?

Sakura-We shall!

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

Sakura, was COMEPLETELY AWE STRUCK! She stared at him, gaping in a fashion that Naruto knew, it was pretty hard to swallow. But he said it. He told her he loved her. To be honest, he HAD TO tell her about his feelings. They kept nerving him, grinding at his psyche and brain, telling him to tell her that he LONGED FOR HER COMPANIONSHIP! He needed her, that's why. He wanted to have her to him! He wanted to kiss her, touch her, bite her pleasurably and GIVE HER LUST! Naruto and Sakura stared at each other for a LONG time, before Naruto broke it.

"Sakura," Naruto started. She stared at him. "You have to understand that I couldn't wait like you wanted. I must have you! You're really the only one that…understands me." Naruto explained. Sakura gaped more in shock, her eyes wide! Naruto blinked slowly and let out a small breath. "Sorry if it was too sudden for you." Naruto apologized. Sakura snapped out of it and shook her head!

"N-N-Naruto…I don't…know what to say." She said surprised! Naruto turned his head away a bit and sighed.

"Don't worry Sakura. I just…well I know it was too sudden. Just forget about what I said then." Naruto stated. He turned around and started to walk away. Sakura slightly gasped and grabbed his arm and whipped him around! He was enveloped in a hug! Sakura wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head into his chest! She savored his scent.

"No Naruto, don't say that." Sakura begged! Naruto said nothing as shock crossed his face. "I'm glad you let out your feelings. I was trying to contain mine as well. But, when you said I mattered that much I-I-I just felt like someone really cared for me!" Sakura stated! Naruto looked at her in COMPLETE shock!

"Sakura," Naruto softly said. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged back. Sakura snuggled into his body, enjoying and savoring the feelings with INTENSITY!

"Oh Naruto, but I really think we should go on a few dates first, don't you think?" Sakura asked. Naruto smiled.

"Of course Sakura, I fully understand. But it'll cost ya." Naruto said smirking. Sakura looked up at him.

"What will it cost me then, handsome?" Sakura, in a flirty tone, asked. Naruto grinned.

"It'll cost ya a kiss on the cheek, maybe the lips or two. Not that much is it?" Naruto asked. Sakura cocked her eyebrows and then stressed his cheek with her right hand.

"I MIGHT be able to squeeze you in for a small kiss or two. But I want you to do those growls that have me so interested. Please?" Sakura begged. Naruto cocked his eyebrow.

"I thought the were creepy to you." Naruto stated. Sakura giggled.

"Well I'm just so used to them now, since you've been doing them for an entire month now! Pwetty pwease?" Sakura asked in a small begging tone. Her eyes sparkled. Naruto sighed. He then smiled and gave a quick nod. "Also, I want you to be animal-like, you know how you've been doing that?" Sakura asked. Naruto crossed his arms over his chest.

"Okay, I will. But I don't come cheaply. Costs a cheek kiss for it." Naruto stated rubbing his thumb and index finger together. Sakura sighed.

"Okay, come here handsome." Sakura sighed with a smile. Naruto grinned with a chuckle. He leaned his cheek in and Sakura cupped it, before gently laying a small and tender loving kiss on his warm cheek. Naruto SHIVERED A BIT! His whiskers were pulsating! It felt SO good that…

"Grrrrrrrrr!" Naruto growled! Sakura continued and by the time Naruto's leg was shaking! He started to purr as she used her open arm to caress his other cheek. This was GOLD to Naruto! He sighed and purred in pleasure! He growled and his tongue stuck out! Sakura had a baby red tint cross her face as she continued her ministrations. Naruto couldn't help but cup her cheeks as she did his. One thing was true, Sakura thought, Naruto's cheek was SENS-A-TIVE! Sakura stopped and heard Naruto's purring, growling and saw his legs shaking and trembling! She gasped and giggled! Naruto finally looked at her, cupped her cheeks and laid a HUGE LICK, right on her CHEEK! Sakura gasped and her eyes widened in SHOCK! She had felt this before! It felt good and warm. Naruto kept licking her cheeks over and over again as he let out…"Grrrrrrrr!!" and growl from the back of his throat! Sakura's eyes half-lidded at this. It felt so good! She felt his warm saliva and tongue, making love with her cheek. Sakura wrapped her arms around his strong neck and let Naruto do whatever. After all, he DESERVED IT! He deserved HER! It was him who was protecting her! He who wanted her! He who cared for her in ALL situations! HE WHO LOVED HER! Sakura, still feeling a bit rushed, forgot about the whole quickness idea and closed her eyes. His tongue was supreme in everyway!

"Oh Naruto," Sakura stated gently. Naruto stopped licking her cheeks and looked at her, BLUSHING MADLY!! Naruto then started to rub his cheeks against hers in a display of his affection for her! Sakura cupped the back of his head and rubbed it. His animalistic ways of affection towards her were PRICELESS! She felt herself falling more and more for him every minute that passed! Her eyes started to sparkle and a half-open smile crossed her face. "I just…want you to know…that you have my love and…my heart." Sakura finished and closed her eyes, burying her face into the crook of his neck. They both stayed like that for a LONG time, before separating and looking into each others eyes. "Naruto, let's go." Sakura stated. Naruto smiled.

"Okay Sakura. One good date…coming right from my heart." Naruto said softly. Both teens held hands and walked away to who knows where to start their relationship.

With Kishimaru…(LOL!)

"GET BACK HERE MONKEY MAN! I NEED TO CUT YOUR HEAD OFF!" Kishimaru shouted as foam feel from his mouth and he SWUNG THE SCYTHE MADLY!

"AHHHH! GO HOME KID! DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED!?" The man shouted! Kishimaru growled!

"NOT WHEN IT COMES TO MY BIG BROTHER! I BET YOU WERE FLIRTING WITH SAKURA YOU BIG OL' PERVERT!! I MEAN C'MON, YOU LOOK FREAKIN' FOUTY-YEARS OLD! YOU PEDOPHILE!!" Kishimaru shouted!

"I AIN'T NO PEDOPHILE KID! I JUST SAID I LOVED SAKURA! WHY IS THAT SO WRONG?" The man shouted!

"YEAH RIGHT! YOU PROBABLY WANNA GO OUT WITH SAKURA THEN TAKE HER HOME AND THEN MAKE HER TAKE HER CLOTHES OFF THEN MOLEST HER! YOU ARE A PEDOPHILE! GRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! DIE, DIE, DIE!" Kishimaru explained.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!" The mans shouted as Kishimaru jumped and tackled him to the ground!

"NOW YOU'RE MINE!" Kishimaru shouted! The man whimpered as Kishimaru grinned evilly and held up his scythe. "Any last words before you meet your doom?" Kishimaru asked.

"YEAH KID! YOU'RE DAMN CRAZY! WHAT'RE YOU THE GRIM REAPERS KID!?" The man shouted. Kishimaru thought.

"Nope. But I WILL tell you," Kishimaru stated. The man grunted as Kishimaru held his scythe up to the man's neck. "I'm the little bro, of one of the most notorious demons out there." Kishimaru finished. The man's face went pale. "OKAY MR. BABOON! SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE STREETS AND SAY HELLO TO THE TREES IN THE SKY!" Kishimaru shouted! The man cringed!

"SQUIRT!" Kishimaru heard a voice call out. He looked behind him and saw Naruto and Sakura, holding hands. Naruto had his eyebrow cocked.

"Oh, hello big brother!" Kishimaru shouted happily. The man gasped!

"B-B-Brother!? GET ME OUTTA HERE!" The man begged squirming!

"Shut up baboon face! Now, you'll be swinging from vines in no time just as soon as I talk to my big brother. Now be a good little fat monkey man and stay here." Kishimaru demanded. He hopped off the man and ran over to Naruto. The man groaned.

"Fat monkey man? What're they teaching kids these days?" He asked himself. Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and cocked his eyebrow.

"What're you doing?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru giggled.

"I'm taking care of this guy that loves Sakura. But you interrupted me, so can I get on with this?" Kishimaru answered and then asked. Naruto groaned.

"Okay, first off I don't think this guy is in love with THIS Sakura." Naruto said. Kishimaru looked and Sakura and she shook her head. Kishimaru's eyes twitched and looked at the man on the floor.

"Told ya kid." He said with a smirk. "I meant I love the Sakura Rice Wine. Not this girl." The man stated. Kishimaru sighed.

"But I STILL gots my eyes on you." Kishimaru childishly stated hitting the bottom of his scythe on the ground. "'Cause you're still a pedophile in my book." Kishimaru stated. Naruto sighed.

"There you go with that pedophile thing again." Naruto said. He looked at the man. "Look, sorry about my little brother. You alright man?" Naruto apologized. The man nodded and looked at Kishimaru.

"You know, your little brother is always welcome to hang out with me." The man said. Naruto and Sakura looked at Kishimaru, who had a 'told you so,' look on his face.

"I'll take care of this, just watch and learn if you want." Naruto explained. Sakura held Kishimaru to her body. Naruto looked at the man, who smiled sweetly at Kishimaru. "O-K, well. Hey, dude." Naruto said. The man looked at Naruto.

"Yeah?" He asked. Naruto grinned.

"I got something for ya." Naruto answered. The man grinned and Naruto held out his hands in a ball. "Look inside." Naruto said. The man smiled and looked into Naruto's cupped fists. "No follow my hand with your eye, okay?" Naruto asked. The man followed Naruto's fist as he cocked it back. He gave a slight but worried chuckle.

"Haha…uh, it looks like you're going to-"

"THWACK!" Naruto made his skin BLEED from ONE SEARING BLOW TO THE LOWER JAW! The man flinched…then fell to the ground. Kishimaru looked at the, perverted, man. He was bleeding SEVERELY, from the mouth section of his face. Kishimaru giggled!

"NICE SHOT!" The small boy complimented! Naruto cracked his knuckles and looked at the man.

"Tch, fucking pedophiles. Nothing's gonna get my little bro." Naruto said, and snorted. Sakura laughed as she heard a foxy snort from his nose. "Okay…well then…hey squirt…could ya please…uh…well could you go home and wait for me today?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru had a sad look on his face.

"But why?" He asked. Naruto sighed. He loved having his little brother around, DEEPLY, but today was…well his and Sakura's dating day! He didn't want Kishimaru to around this time.

"Well, 'cause today is my…(Whispers) date with Sakura. (Normal volume) So, you know how that goes!" Naruto said with a foxy one-eyed winking grin. Kishimaru cocked an eyebrow and looked up at Sakura. She had a slight blush. She had heard Naruto.

"Well, okay. Just don't DO anything that might resort in…" Kishimaru stopped and he waved his fingers for them to draw closer. They both drew close and he said. "needing birth control." He whispered. He then gave a giggle and skipped happily away! Naruto and Sakura both had HUGE blushes on their faces! Sakura turned her head away a bit as perverted thoughts entered. Naruto…well he seemed to LOVE the idea. Though birth control wasn't his forte. He wanted IT ALL! He gave a slight half-smile, which in turn, made Sakura get naughty thoughts. But the two teens shook the idea away…for the right time. With their blushes RAGING LIKE A WILD FLAME! They both locked arms and walked away to…somewhere that was right for an afternoon date! As they both searched for somewhere, Naruto couldn't help but think. He wondered, not about Sakura's welfare with him…but about her safety with him. The villagers were SURE, to catch onto him and soon try to drive him out of the village! They would also surely kill Sakura trying to get to him too! His heart ACHED MADLY, as the thoughts of her being killed…ALL BECAUSE OF HIM. It was…a very frightening thought for Naruto, despite his evil side. New senses, and a demonic aura with FRIGHTENING results! But, he mentally sighed and didn't want to ruin this precious moment! He looked around…seeing nothing for the afternoon, but for a romantic dinner instead. He groaned as nothing for a good and very warm afternoon came into view. But, his luck turned around when he saw popsicle booth! He checked his wallet, seeing he had enough for a single popsicle. He smiled.

"Wait riiiiiiight here Sakura. Be right back." Naruto said with a chuckle and a grin. Sakura, a confused look caressing her face, watched as Naruto walked over to a booth. A few moments later her returned with a wide eye-closed grin. Sakura looked into his right hand. She saw an orange and pink halved popsicle. She giggled. "Here you go Sakura. I know you like pink…and strawberries so I got you strawberry." Naruto said with a smile.

"Thank you very much Naruto." She said and took the popsicle. Naruto must've had orange, based on the color, and was correct!

"Man, besides ramen, I just loooooove orange flavored popsicles. Then again I also like blueberry, and raspberry. But did I also mention…that I ESPECIALLY, love strawberry?" Naruto asked. Sakura just about CHOKED on her popsicle. Naruto patted her back and she coughed. She took the popsicle out of her mouth and looked at Naruto. "Ehehe, sorry about that Sakura. I didn't mean to make you choke. Are you okay?" Naruto asked and apologized. Sakura wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded with a smile.

"Yeah (Giggle) I am. You just surprised me, that's all." Sakura answered. Naruto sighed and Sakura stared at him. "Well, you aren't going to get strawberry punch for a while mister." Sakura said with a wink. Naruto flustered! Strawberry-PUNCH? Naruto felt his knees quiver a bit. He snapped out of his trance.

"Okay, then you're not going to get any orange-tang from this man for a while either." Naruto said back. Sakura looked at him and cocked her eyebrow.

"Orange-tang? Is that the best you got as a sex joke?" Sakura asked a bit amused. Naruto cocked an eyebrow.

"Maybe, what about it?" Naruto asked. Sakura chuckled.

"Well, I can think about where I could get my daily vitamin-C from." Sakura said.

"Where?" Naruto asked. Sakura was going to enjoy THIS one.

"The orange juice dispenser in your pants." She answered. Naruto flinched and started to sweat. He then smirked.

"Good one…but what about my strawberry milkshake?" Naruto asked. Sakura's face felt like a SUN!

"That…was really mean Naruto!" Sakura shouted playfully blushing. Naruto laughed.

"Yeah, and what's going to go along with it!? Two cherry pound cakes on that chest?" Naruto asked. Sakura GASPED!

"Take that back you!" Sakura shouted. Naruto slapped his knee!

"I'm on FIRE!" Naruto shouted! Sakura thought and then smirked.

"Okay then, well, just tell me when the orangutan is done slurping it's cherries so he can concentrate on the…chocolate covered strawberries dipped in whip-cream and smothered in orange juice, and I'm not talking about the vitamin-C kind either." Sakura retorted back. Naruto cocked his left eyebrow.

"Well then, if it isn't orange juice, then it must be the…uh…thee umm…damn it…what's got orange in it?" Naruto asked. Sakura couldn't resist.

"Well, what about those two tangerines attacked to your orange grower?" Sakura asked. Naruto sweat-dropped.

"Okay, one thing I make clear. Those "tangerines," and FULLY GROWN OR-AN-GE-S. Remember, or-an-ge-s. They're fully loaded with vitamin-C, perfect for a growing girl." Naruto said cupping her chin. Sakura put on a sarcastic smile. "Besides," Naruto started. Sakura ate her popsicle. "what about that cake with the strawberry below your candle?" Naruto asked. Sakura gasped!

"EXCUSE ME!?" Sakura shouted. Naruto laughed!

"YEAH! DON'T FORGET THE FROSTING! OH AND LET ME GUESS, IS THE FROSTING WHITE!?" Naruto joked!

"TAKE THAT BACK MR. TANGERINE!" Sakura shouted!

"WHAT'RE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT MS. STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE!?" Naruto shouted back.

"Really? Well I guess the orange tree isn't in full bloom this year because you're still growing it!" Sakura shouted. Naruto gasped!

"Hey! That wasn't nice! I'm in full bloom…an-and what about you!? Look at them little strawberry patches!" Naruto retorted back. Sakura covered her chest!

"T-T-Take that b-b-back!" Sakura shouted.

"Yeah, and that's a BIG MILKSHAKE IN THE TRUNK! WITH. A. STRAWBERRY. TOPPING." Naruto finished. Sakura felt hurt! Naruto grinned. "How's that!" Naruto asked. "WHAT!?" Naruto asked crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back coolly. Sakura looked away.

"Oh…well I didn't know my breasts were that small to you. Not to mention my butt seems to be just a big shake." Sakura hurtfully stated turning around. Naruto stared at her slightly gaping. "It's, really not my fault they're so small. It's just how I was made, that's all." Sakura said.

"Well…it's not nice to make fun of a guys balls either." Naruto said. Sakura looked at him.

"But I didn't really mean it. I…well I have no doubt in my mind that you're…a big boy now. But a females breasts are more shown than a man's genitals Naruto. I feel hurt now that you said I was small." Sakura said in a saddened tone. She was right, usually girls are based on liking if their breast size is BIG! He had seen girls get dumped because of their chest. They were VERY SEXY AND BEAUTIFUL…but their chest was small. Naruto felt like one of those jackasses now. "Well…Sakura I," Naruto started. Sakura turned away from him, feeling a bit embarrassed. Naruto looked around, seeing people staring and nearly laughing at her. He looked back at her and she hung her head. Naruto gave a nose-sigh and looked at Sakura. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug. It was one thing to make fun of a man, but A VERY DIFFERENT THING, to make fun of a girls' sexual attributes. Naruto felt horrible! Naruto hoped that there were no other students around, or Sakura would be made fun of FOR SURE! "Sakura, I didn't mean it. I mean…I don't," Naruto choked on his words. He had wanted to make this date-day FUN! But now it turned into a sexual insulting one.

"You don't what? Like my tininess?" Sakura asked. "Now I'm going to be made fun of for sure." Sakura said. "I might as well just wear a bag over my head and go home now." Sakura finished.

"Sakura, c'mon, don't do that! I mean, these guys wouldn't make fun of you!" Naruto said looking at everyone with a smile. Sakura looked up.

"Really?" Sakura asked. She dropped her arms slowly. Naruto smiled and nodded.

"Course not!" Naruto re-assured. Sakura smiled and looked at all the people staring at her.

"So, I won't be made fun of?" Sakura asked. Naruto shook his head.

"Nah! Right guys!?" Naruto shouted! Silence. Sakura felt herself feeling smaller and smaller, not in her breast size though. "C'MON LET ME HEAR YA!" Naruto shouted! He shoved his fist in the air! There was more silence, until…

"FLAT!" A man shouted. Sakura gasped!

"TINY RACK!" A young high school girl shouted! Sakura looked around as they ll started laughing at her!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" They laughed.

"SMALL!"

"BABY BOOBS!"

"TINY HUMPS!"

"ANT HILLS!"

"LITTLE GIRL!"

All these people were shouting and laughing and POINTING AT HER! Sakura felt her outer-shield breaking! Her feelings were getting DEMOLISHED! She gasped over and over as she looked around for a way out!

"STOP IT! STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!" Sakura demanded! They didn't stop. Sakura felt her talc-like feelings becoming nothing. She finally turned around, covered her chest and RAN out of the mob of villagers. Naruto watched as Sakura ran!

"WAIT! SAKURA! COME BACK!" Naruto shouted! She didn't even bother looking back at him. Naruto felt a pain in his chest. He shouldn't have started that whole, 'sexual body part fruits,' thing. He felt himself getting angrier and ANGRIER! EACH TIME THEY LAUGHED AND POINTED! He felt his anger over them hurting his girls feelings like that…taking control. The evil within him smiled. "ENOUGH!" Naruto shouted! Everyone stopped! They stared at Naruto in confusion. "THAT'S ENOUGH OF THIS! (Deep Growl) HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE…MADE FUN OF?" Naruto asked, emitting a demonic growl from the very back of his throat. Everyone gasped! Naruto looked at them all. He wasn't happy, nor sad…NOT EVEN MAD! He…was PISSED! One thing, about Naruto…was that he wasn't one to control his anger VERY WELL, due to the ancient evil within him. He didn't have anger issues, but it was just that he didn't like it when his girl was made fun of in front of him. Naruto's bloody eyes, BEAMED OVER to the man that started it ALL! The man gulped as Naruto walked over. Naruto's bloody eyes stared him down and drowned him in death. "Pfft! Look at you. You're just a scrawny man. You're barely even my height! What are you five-eight? Well, dealing with a six-four foot tall person like me, ain't exactly the best thing to do out there. Now, let's see you. Tch, nothing! You're a fat man! What happened, have too many bowls of ramen? I'd show you what I got…but I'm not gay. So, let me just show you something else instead." Naruto said. His enormous hand extended up. The man's eyes widened! The hand had claws! Nails, so sharp like a razor blade!

"W-W-What are-GUH!" The man shouted as Naruto grabbed his throat! Naruto felt blood-thirsty.

"Well, you seem to like talking. Hmm…should I just…rip out your throat and make a bloody mess? Or should I crush your wind-pipe? What to do, what to do." Naruto asked. He felt his dark side taking over. Everyone gasped! Naruto's body! It was…LEAKING! LEAKING BLOOD-RED…STUFF! The man's eyes widened!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed as…his throat…was completely…ripped out. Silence.

With Sakura…(Poor Sakura)

Sakura was leaking tears! She had ran All THE WAY UP the Hokage Monuments. She sat on the VERY top of the Fourths head, staring down at Konoha. He felt deeply hurt! But, Naruto did have a point. She WAS small. Too small! She just felt…like she wasn't the one for Naruto. She started to think that…well maybe Naruto wanted…big breasts. She felt her chest and more tears formed. "Am I too small? Does Naruto think I'm…too small? I'm such a cry-baby. Why? Naruto's always sticking up for me, so why can't I do the same. He said he'd protect me with his life, and I believe him deeply. Oh Kami, please give me one, just ONE time where I'm strong to protect him, please!" Sakura said to herself and begged. She didn't want to be Sakura cry baby any more. She wanted to help Naruto like he was her! DAMN IT, SHE WANTED HIM TO KNOW SHE WAS THERE FOR HIM!

But…she felt so useless right now. She felt like Naruto was one of those guys who liked "Bigger Area's," on women. She just sighed, thinking about why she was small. Not only because her 'size,' but her audacity as well. She didn't have to much of it, but since Naruto her willingness to stick up for herself had grown, just like her feelings for him. But, that didn't matter anymore she guessed. She was still hurt about her bodily issue. She wondered if Naruto would go find someone else. Maybe…maybe not. She stared down at Konoha, when her eyes caught something. It was…RED. BLOOD-RED! IT MOVED LIKE LIGHTNING ACROSS THE STREETS! She tried to get a closer look, but couldn't risk falling off. Whatever it was…it seemed to be looking for something by the way it stopped, and then ran again. She followed its movements, and…it was getting closer to the monuments. Her heart started to beat faster as she saw it at the stairs! She gulped. She didn't know WHAT IT was, but for some reason it reminded her of her nightmares. She didn't know why though. She started to scoot away from the stairs hoping that the thing wouldn't see her!

She felt fear for some reason, but somewhat safer now. She remembered the night she felt like that once. She gulped and then peeked over the ridge. Her eyes widened! She saw small blood-red pupils, staring UP at her. "AH!" She screamed! She started got off the head of the Yondaime and ran to the stairs. She saw nothing. She panted and ran down the stairs, hoping she could get passed the thing without running into it! She turned a corner and froze! There! THERE SHE SAW THEM! In the darkness, no figure…just floating…blood relenting eyes staring at her. She back away and ran in the opposite direction. She knew that the protector boxes up near the monuments were a HUGE maze! She knew where to go though. She turned 7 corners and ran up a spiral staircase! She ran and turned 3 more corners before reaching…a dead end. She saw a window that let in air, but it was just a viewing part of the box. She gulped as she heard foot-steps, coming up the stairs. She shivered and ran to the door and SLAMMED IT and laid against it! She heard the foot-steps getting louder and LOUDER! They got louder UNTIL…they stopped. Sakura gulped as she felt the handle jiggle! She gasped and put ALL her weight into the door! She laid against it with ALL HER MIGHT! But, it wasn't enough. The thing was TOO STRONG as it FORCED the door open! "AHHH!" Sakura screamed! She looked into the darkness of the door and saw nothing. She ran over to the corner and sat in it. She held herself, wondering what was in that darkness. She heard foot-steps. She closed her eyes. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sakura demanded! She felt someone's presence enter the room. She felt the tears come back. "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" She retorted to herself.

"Sakura!" She heard a hoarse voice! Sakura looked and saw him. Naruto stood there and stared at her. She turned her head. Naruto ran over to her and got on his knees. He enveloped her in a hug. "Sakura, I've been looking everywhere for you. I'm glad you're okay." Naruto sighed in relief. Sakura said nothing as Naruto embraced her! Naruto could feel her hurt within. He wanted to help her DEEPLY! He looked at her cheeks and saw the tears she had shed. "Sakura," Naruto started.

"Don't worry Naruto. I know you're the kind of person who prefers girls with…'bigger,' attributes. I understand." Sakura hurtfully stated. Naruto felt his heart ping in pain.

"Sakura you gotta understand that I-"

"Naruto!" Sakura cut him off! Naruto stared at her in shock. "That really hurt me inside! It's one thing to make fun a of a man's manhood, but another to make fun of a girls breasts. It hurts a girl more than a guy Naruto. It hurt me especially." Sakura explained. Naruto said nothing as he stared at Sakura, eyes full of sorrow and remorse. Sakura said nothing as she stared to the right. Naruto remorsefully sighed.

"Sakura," Naruto said calmly. Sakura didn't look at him. "I…want to say…I'm sorry. I didn't know it hurt girls as much as guys…I'm really, REALLY sorry." Naruto apologized. He looked down in disappointment with himself. "So……well……I guess that's it then…I guess." Naruto said. He sighed through his nose. Sakura said nothing as she looked away. Naruto closed his eyes and hugged her more. He could sense she was…distressed! "Something's bothering you, isn't it?" Naruto asked. Sakura glanced at him out of the corner of her eye as a look of surprise made its way across her face. "Something you wanna tell me before I go?" Naruto asked. Sakura slightly turned her head to look at him. She gulped and nodded.

"I-I saw it." Sakura slowly stated. Naruto cocked his right eyebrow.

"It?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded. "What was it?" Naruto asked. Sakura shivered just thinking about it.

"A demon." Sakura answered. Naruto flinched as his eyes widened. He stared at Sakura.

"A-A-A demon? W-W-What kind of d-d-demon?" He asked. Sakura gulped and looked him in the eyes.

"It had eyes redder than blood. That's all I saw." Sakura answered. Naruto started to sweat! He felt a lump in his throat. Sakura saw his hesitation. "Naruto, are you okay? You're sweating." Sakura explained. Naruto just stared at her, breathing through his mouth. He shook his head hesitantly!

"N-No Sakura! Never mind. Anyway, anything else you saw?" Naruto asked. Sakura shivered as the fear returned! She remembered how terrifying she saw it over the cliff. The red eyes and it's HUGE vertical-slitted pupils!

"I-I-I just…well it was like a person…with blood-red…well I don't know what it that red stuff was…but it was frightening!" Sakura answered him. Naruto could LITERALLY SMELL the fear brewing within her soul! It smelt HORRIBLE! He stared at her, a worried look in his eyes, because she had seen him! He was looking for her around the village. He had seen her looking at him! He thought she would…well actually ANY girl would fear him IMENSELY! But, he thought he could reveal himself to her, FULLY! But, he was wrong. He looked at her.

"I see. Do you feel…alright? Did it hurt you?" Naruto asked. He felt weird talking about himself that way, but he was IN LOVE with her! He didn't want to scare her! Sakura shook her head.

"No…but I can still feel its eyes staring at me with, malice." Sakura said. Naruto, who was still hugging her, sighed.

"Is it okay if I hug you?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him and saw his…somewhat apathetical smile. She nodded, and Naruto gave her an embrace. Odd, Sakura felt…MORE heat than when she usually hugged him. He was like a sun itself! She felt safe within his arms and didn't feel anything but. Naruto pulled her tighter to his chest, seeing her enjoy his extra warmth. Whenever Naruto went into his…darker form and turned back, he ALWAYS had more warmth to offer! Seeing Sakura enjoy it made Naruto hug a bit tighter, but not to where he was crushing her. But, Naruto could STILL feel her sadness about her…'small,' predicament. He knew she needed an apology more than him! She sucked in his breath and puffed out his cheeks. " Sakura, there's something I wanna say to you." Naruto said. She looked up a them.

"What is it Naruto?" Sakura asked. Naruto pushed her away a bit. He looked at her chest, non-perversely. Sakura blushed!

"I want you to know that I don't really like big breasts." Naruto said. Sakura's eyes widened! "I…man this is embarrassing…like smaller…sizes. Is this…sorta, kinda makin' sense?" Naruto asked. Sakura gulped. He stared at her.

"Naruto, but-"

"Sakura, this is one of my MOST KEPT…uh…secrets. I like small and that's it." Naruto cut her off. Sakura was shocked! Not shocked, but VERY SHOCKED!

"Uh…umm…that's…" Sakura choked.

"Fucked up?" Naruto asked. Sakura sighed.

"Well…it's…yeah, it is." Sakura confessed. Naruto smiled and hugged her again.

"Thanks for understanding Sakura. Oh, and please don't tell anyone about our…'little,' secret." Naruto begged.

"Okay Naruto." Sakura answered. Naruto's smiled slightly widened.

"And…I was wondering, do you accept my apology?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked up at him, seeing his pleading cerulean eyes. She sighed.

"Just as long as you don't say those things again. Okay? And I won't say what I said. Deal?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"Deal." He answered. Sakura smiled sweetly.

"Then you're forgiven." She calmly and ever-so smoothly said. Naruto hugged her sweetly. They both stayed that way for a good 30 minutes, enjoying each other's company and the loneliness they were having. After the entire 30 minutes, they both separated.

"C'mon Sakura, let's get outta here." Naruto suggested. She nodded and Naruto gripped her hand.

"Okay Naruto." Sakura agreed. Naruto stood up, and helped her with him. "And Naruto," Sakura started. Naruto looked at her. She faced him and leaned on her toes. She gave him a small peck on the cheek. "thank you…for…everything you're doing." Sakura sweetly said. Naruto smiled.

"You're welcome, Sakura." Naruto said back. She gave a chuckle. He held her hand, and they both walked out to continue their date. Though the day was…shortened, they were both enjoying the fresh air. They had both walked to river bed. The water gracefully flowed lazily down. Sakura watched as the water carried away leaves from the surrounding trees, and Naruto looked ahead, though he had no idea where it was they were going. He actually didn't know what to do next! He started to think deeply about their next dating activity. It was complicated! But, he sighed and mentally shrugged. He guessed she'd like anything he'd do for her. He gave her a glance, seeing her watching the lazy river flow. He looked around. He smiled when he saw what he was looking for. He let go of Sakura's hand, which surprised her!

"Naruto where are you…" Sakura confusingly watched a he knelt down and then stood back up. He walked over to her with his hands behind his back. "Naruto," Sakura started as he tried looking behind him, urging to see what he had.

"Close your eyes Sakura." Naruto calmly stated. Sakura sighed and obeyed. She felt Naruto slip something in her pink locks. It was a bit thin between her ear and head. "Okay, open up and look in the water." Naruto gently commanded. Sakura opened her eyes and looked in the lazy river. She smiled with a hint of pink in her rosy cheeks as she saw a pearly-pink flower in her hair. It was beautiful! She looked at Naruto. A grin spread easily across his face.

"Oh Naruto, it's beautiful!" Sakura exclaimed.

"It makes you look beautiful." Naruto complimented. Sakura put her hands behind her and fluttered her eye lashes softly. Naruto chuckled.

"Thank you." Sakura smoothly said. Naruto nodded. He sighed and stretched. They both were in a small clearing now. It reminded Sakura of team 7's training ground, though there were more flowers, grass and vegetation.

"This seems like a good place to just sit, chat and relax. Eh?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded with a small chuckle. Naruto led her to a shaded tree with lush and green grass underneath it. Naruto lay down upon it, his hands behind his head while Sakura sat. A small breeze brushed through the trees. Naruto took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The wind tickled his whiskers a bit and he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Sakura, a smile caressing her face, laid her eyes on him, studying his form. "That breeze feels good." Naruto calmly retorted. Sakura closed her eyes and let the air breeze through her hair gracefully and calmly.

"It does." Sakura agreed. Naruto cracked one eye open to look at her.

"Do you wanna sit down?" Naruto asked. Sakura giggled and laid down next to him. Naruto let his arms and legs relax as he spread them out lazily. Sakura lay there next to him. Her hand placed over-so gently upon his chest. Her head snuggling under his arm-pit. She was as snug as a bug in a rug! She could stay there all day really. She just wanted to float away into the sea of dreams with Naruto, who willingly and with enough courage confessed himself to her, and sleep. It was really odd, she had gone to sleep nearly 2 hours ago, and yet, here she was again! Snuggled under Naruto's arm-pit and basking in his undying and eternal warmth and love for her! But, Sakura knew it was going to be a while before her and Naruto's first NON-KISHIMARU related kiss. But either way, she could stay like this all day long! She felt the sea of dreams taking over her. She felt her eyes close slowly, until they were too heavy for support! She finally, drifted off into a wonderland, with her dreams set on Naruto. Meanwhile the young man was staring at the sky. But, 'twas not a smile on his face, but a disdainful frown! He was disgusted with, not Sakura nor her friends and teachers, but with the villagers. Yes, he was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED!! They antagonized Sakura right in front of him! That' along with Sakura's feelings that he whole-heartedly started to peel away at, only made the villagers feed off of it more and more! It was Sakura's sadness…that led to his dark and malevolent ways! He was glad Sakura hand not noticed the slight scent of dry blood on his hands. When he ripped the throat out of that villager…blood GUSHED!

It was like a blood-fountain! Naruto's hands were smothered in blood earlier! But, he did the best to lick the savoring and red, runny liquid off. He could still taste it on his tongue. He actually liked it! His taste for blood was on the 'good eats' side of his own tastes! He loved savoring the flavor, the texture and over-all the part where he licked his fingers clean. Getting under his nails was easy, thanks to his slightly visible, in-grown fangs. He had to hide them with a genjutsu! But it was his fangs that savored the dexterity and love for blood that he, sometimes, lusted for with a hunger that could make a whale cower in the corner! But, he let his thirst for blood and flesh go. He also let his dislike for the villagers go as well. He looked at Sakura, and a surprised look caressed his face. Sakura, sleeping next to him comfortably. Snuggled to him. Naruto smiled and sighed. He looked at the sky and closed his eyes. He snuggled Sakura closer, before letting himself fall into the pit of dreams, with Sakura.

Hours later…

It was early as the sun was setting behind the mountains. The stars danced in the night sky as the moon conducted their movements. Naruto and Sakura, sleeping silently underneath the stars, lay undisturbed. That was until Naruto's nose twitched. He slowly opened his eyes. He saw the blurry lights in the sky, twinkling. He yawned and stretched his muscles. Naruto scratched his arm and looked at Sakura. She lay there, cuddled to the grass. He smiled and found out that she was laid on his arm. He moved his hand a bit and felt it. He pulled his arm from behind her and cracked his neck. He took a deep breath and sighed deeply! He smelt fresh air, the surrounding trees and blood………wait…blood? Naruto's eyes shot WIDE open! He looked at his hand! There was…blood…on his finger nails and fingers! He gasped and looked at Sakura! She did not appear to have any marks from his razor nails. He sighed…demonically. He gasped! His voice was…deep…husky…and over all VERY malevolent! He gulped.

He ran over to the river and stared into the water. His blood-lusting eyes stared back, along with a black line that had formed around his mouth! He looked at both hands, and surely, they had fully transformed. He stood up and looked at the sleepy girl before him. She was so beautiful. The pale, silky and mystic glow that enveloped her bodily form was…mystifying! She was a beautiful pale opal, washed in moon-light. Naruto gulped. His thirst for blood was now directed towards her. He wanted to savor it…taste it…roll it around in his mouth and suckle it to his liking and content. It made him start to drool. He walked over to her and look into the crook of her neck. He stuck out his tongue and licked her skin gently. He dragged his tongue slightly and smoothly over her silky skin. Her pale skin piqued his interests in flavor and texture. He could smell the fresh blood flowing through her. It made him lick his lips hungrily. His fangs appeared and he licked them. The leftover blood from the villager early that afternoon filled his taste buds. Grinning evilly and hungrily, Naruto bent down to claim what he longed for! The first time he saw Sakura's blood, the scent…aroused him. It made him want LONG for her taste! He was about to bite down…when the scent of strawberries filled his nose! Naruto's eyes pinged and widened! He breath, smelt like faint strawberries from the popsicle he bought her!

Naruto shook his head and sighed. He looked at her. He gently picked her up and cuddled her to his chest. He hunched over a bit from his evil side taking control! With a huge spring, he jumped away! He WHISKED LIKE LIGHTINING through the trees, the wind caressing his mauling spiky hair! He felt himself slowly losing control of his mental conscious. His thirst for blood slowly taking over. Naruto kept thinking about the day they had! Sakura's feelings and him comforting her, she and him kissing due to Kishimaru! He kept thinking and surely, his thirst for blood sub-sided! He felt the urge for Sakura's blood go away! He demonically sighed in relief and whisked faster and faster and faster! He saw the village gates and streaked through them! He looked around, his keen eyes searching quickly from left to right! After searching for nearly 5 minutes, he found her house. He smiled and jumped from the roof-top he was on and landed perfectly! He kicked the door open and walked in! He kicked the door shut and then locked it with his hand that he had loose! He scurried up the stairs and saw her bed. He sighed and looked at Sakura. He pushed the sheets away and set his pinkette into the bed and took her shoes off. He pulled the sheets over her and tucked her in. He looked at her sorrowfully. He slowly leaned down and stopped, just a few inches from a her lips to his. He demonically sighed and gave her a small and slight kiss on the cheek. He stroked her cheek with his thumb, making sure the nail wasn't scratching her beautiful skin. He gently licked her neck and then cheek. He stood up and backed away. He walked over and opened the window. He stepped outside and looked at Sakura. She slept contently and Naruto smiled. He then jumped away to let himself take over…
