Times Change chapter 5

Naruto walked down the halls of Orochimaru's hideout. Ever since he saw Sakura again and kissed her, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He wanted to see her again!

There was only one problem. If Orochimaru ever found out he brought Sakura here,

he would try and kill her.

Naruto wasn't scared of Orochimaru though, and he knew if needed, he could kill him, but what Naruto was scared about was that Orochimaru would hear about Sakura living in Sound while he was away on a mission. There would be no way for him to protect her and she would never stand a chance against him, no matter how strong she's gotten.

Naruto decided he would figure all this out after he brought Sakura back with him to Sound. Then, in a puff of smoke, Naruto departed from Sound to Konoha to get Sakura.

(Scene Break)

When Yamato, Sakura, Sasuke, and Sai returend to Konoha, Yamato decided to take everyone out to dinner help them get over the loss of the mission. Sakura wasn't in the mood to eat anything, but didn't want to be rude to her sensei by telling him she wasn't hungry. So, she decided to go to dinner with everyone, just to be poilte.

After everyone ordered their food and it was delivered, they all started to eat while Sakura just looked at her food. She couldn't stop thinking about Naruto after what had happened. She still remembered kissing him, the feel of his tails touching her hands and skin.

Sakura couldn't take it anymore.

She ran out of the restaurant with tears in her eyes. Sasuke was going to go after

her to see what was the matter, but Yamato held him back, telling him that she needed to be alone for the time being till she was able to get over what had happened during the mission.

As Sakura ran out of the restaurant, she didn't want anyone to see her like this and started to run for her home, but along the way she spotted Shikamaru and Ino together, holding hands and laughing.

Sakura couldn't stand to see them being happy like that. She hated the feeling that the person she loved defected to another ninja village. She hated that it seemed like everybody had some body except her.

Hinata had Kiba now, and Chouji and Temari were dating as well. Sakura had even heard

that Temari was already five months pregnant for their first child.

Sakura would give anything to have Naruto hold her in his arms, to kiss her again, to have Naruto say he loved her. Sakura then decided that if she ever saw Naruto again, she would make him take her to Sound with him. She wanted to be with Naruto no matter what.

She still couldn't believe how she ignored him like she did. Someone as caring and tender like Naruto, and she did nothing but yell at him and belittle him. Well, he was caring and nice.

"I was such a jerk to Naruto back then, but not anymore! When I see Naruto again,

I am going to apologize for everything mean I ever did to him back then! It is a promise of a life time!" Sakura swore to herself. Sakura then started to head for her house like she orignally planned.

Sakura reached the front door to her house and turned the handle, letting herself inside. Sakura saw that her parents weren't home and guessed they were still at work. She was about to head up to her room till she felt her stomach grumble from not eating anything, so she went to the fridge and made herself dinner, mainly out of the left over spaghetti and hamburgers they had.

After Sakura was finished eating, she headed up to her room and got into her sleeping clothes. After that, she laid down and fell asleep, having dreams of Naruto and herself, together. Forever.

As Sakura was asleep, she dreamed of Naruto and herself being together. She dreamed of getting married to Naruto, of raising a family with him.

Sakura then started to dream about the intimate moments she would have with Naruto. She dreamed of what their honeymoon would be like. As Sakura slept, she developed a deep red blush.

As Sakura was still dreaming, she was awoken by someone calling her name. When her eyes adjusted to the dark, she could see it was Naruto.

As soon as Sakura knew it was Naruto, she lunged at him and held him in a strong hug. Unlike last time, Sakura wasn't going to let Naruto get away.

As Naruto was about to speak, Sakura interupted him. "Naruto before you say anything, I just want to let you know I want to go to the Sound village with you. I want to be the mother of your children. I won't take no for an answer!" she said to him.

After hearing what Sakura said, Naruto was overjoyed. He decided to tell her why he came. "Sakura, the reason I came here tonight was to take you to Sound with me. Since you already have your mind made up though, I think we should go right now while we still have the cover of darkness," Naruto said.

Sakura, not wanting to have anyone worry about her, wrote a note to her parents and friends about where she was going and why. As she was doing this, Naruto was packing all of her belongings into suitcases.

After Sakura was done writing the note, she left it on the desk in her room. As Sakura was getting ready to leave, she felt Naruto pick her up bridal style. Naruto held Sakura close to him, wrapping his tails around her to keep her warm.

Naruto then jumped out the window and landed on the roof of another building. He then kissed Sakura on the lips before taking a running jump and landing on the next roof.

After ten minutes, they were already outside of Konoha. As Sakura looked back at Konoha, she didn't feel sad that she was leaving her home and her friends. All she cared about now was her and Naruto's future.
