Summary: Alternat seires of events set after the Sasuke/Naruto fight at the Valley of the end - If Naruto won.
Disclamer: I do not own Naruto, or anything else of value. It is not worth mugging me.
Chapter 6 - I'm Leaving.
- - - Sakura's POV - - -
Why do I even care? Oh, wait, yeah, I know what Ino's like, and I don't want Naruto to fall in love, only to get hurt, after all, he is a friend.
YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO FALL IN LOVE, PERIOD.
Thats not true, he deserves to be happy.
THEN WHY DO YOU HURT HIM SO MUCH?
I . . .I don't mean to, but he just gets in the way of me ans Sasuke-kun . . .
YEAH, LIKE RISKING HIS LIFE TO BRING SASUKE BACK FOR YOU IS GETTING IN THE WAY.
Thats different, he only brought Sasuke back because . . .
BECAUSE YOU WANTED HIM TO.
It was a mission, he only brought Sasuke back because it was the mission given to him by the Hokage.
BUT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BRING BACK SASUKE, HE WOULDN'T HAVE TRIEDE AS HARD.
What are you saying, Naruto always tries his best.
REMEMBER WHAT SASUKE SAID AFTER THE BATTLE WITH GARRA?
You mean . . .
THE POWER HE SHOWED. YOU KNOW THAT, TO SAVE YOU HE WENT BEOND HIS LIMITS.
But, he would do that for Sasuke-kun too, right, we are a team.
HE WOULD NOT HAVE GONE BEOND HIS LIMITS IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST SASUKE, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HIM.
Then Naruto would have failed . . .
HE DID GO BAOND HIS LIMIT, THOUGH, BECAUSE, TO BRING SASUKE BACK, FOR YOU, HE WOULD DO ANYTHING.
He . . .he loves me, doesn't he?I wonder, does Sasuke?
BEFORE HIS FIGHT WITH NARUTO, DID HE EVEN LOOK AT YOU?
I wonder what changed. . . .
. . . . .
Well, couldn't hurt to ask.
- - - Sasuke's POV - - -
"Well, Sasuke-kun? What changed?"
"Sakura . . .-chan . . .I made a promise. I promised that I would go on 1 date with you, if the dobe helped me with my revenge. On that date, something happened."
"Sasuke-kun? You only dated me for help in your . ..your . . .YOUR PETTY VENGANCE !"
"SAKURA-CHAN, I FELL IN LOVE DURING THAT DATE"
It was true. While on the date with Sakura, carefully scripted by Naruto, he fell in love. Just not with the Pink-haired woman in front of him.
He fell for the only girl to not care about his return. The leader of Naruto's fangirls. Well, Naruto's ONLY fangirl, not that the dobe even realises she want him like that. . .
"But not with me, right, Sasuke"
How did she? I'm sorry, Naruto, I failed. I guess there was that thing you warned me about, that tremor in my voice that told her how I feel.
No point hiding it now.
"No. Hinata-chan, but please, Sakura, don't tell her, I,. . .I'll do anything. . ."
"OK. Promise me that I'll never see you again."
"What about as friends?"
"I'll think about it, Uchiha"
Then, she left.
- - - Sakura's POV - - -
Sob Stupid Sakura, Shouldn't ask sob questions you don't want to h-h-he-hear the. . .. hear the answers to.
"Sakura-chan?" "Forehead?"
- - - Naruto's POV - - -
"I guess its ramen lunch, then?"
"Nope, Ino-chan"
Priceless. The look on her face as she realised that I wasn't going to just buy lunch at Ichikaru's and call it a date.
"W-what?"
"Ino-chan, here I want it to be a suprise"
It was a blindfold. I took her to a clearing near the Valley of the End.
"You can remove the blindfold now, Ino-chan."
"A picnic?"
"Yup, I got your favorite foods, too . . .and, of corse, Ramen"
What? you expected there to be NO raman at all? Get real. Its me, the ramen fanatic.
Ino semed to enjoy the date, and suprised me with a kiss to the cheek as we were getting rady to go back.
"Ino-chan?"
"Just to say thank you for a great day, Naruto"
I grinned in responce, and kissed her, a gentle kiss, our lips barely touching. Then I started walking, Ino had to be home by 10, and that meant we had to hurry.
On the way back to Ino-chan's we passed a park. The park. It was the place I first met Sakura-chan, crying on the swings. I knew she only came here to cry,
Ino knew the same. That's why we both had the same reaction when we saw a mass of pink hair on the swings. We were worried. What had happened.
We both spoke simultaniously.
"Sakura-chan?" "Forehead?"
- - - Ino's POV - - -
The date with Naruto-ku . . .erm . . Naruto was amasing. I couldn't believe it was real. The food, the jokes, the atmosfear . . .the company. . .the kiss. . .
It all went wrong at the last possible moment though, when we saw our best friend sitting in the place she only goes to when she is truly upset.
Naruto felt the same as me, about this, so its really no suprise that we spoke in unison.
"Sakura-chan?" "Forehead?"
- - - Sakura's POV - - -
Naruto? Why i she here? Shouldn't he be on a date with . . .
INO'S HERE TOO, YOU KNOW.
Oh, right . . . he's probably walking her home. . .
"Are you OK, Sakura-chan"
No, Naruto, Sasuke just told me he loves the girl who's head over heels for you.
"Yeah, I guess . . .Its just . . .I asked Sasuke why he was dating me, and . . . and . . . "
"He told you about the promise."
"Y-yeah, then . . ."
"Then he told you he fell in love."
"I knew it wasn't me though, so I asked him, and he said . . ."
"None of your business?"
"No. He told me who, but I promised I wouldn't tell her."
"You can tell me though, right?"
"Its the girl who has loved you for years"
I wonder if he knows about her feelings. I know Ino does, hell EVERYONE knows, except Naruto.
"And Naruto?"
"Yeah, Sakura-chan"
"Why did you make that promise with him."
"Forehead, you don't know? He made the promise because he thought it would make you happy. He lo . . .he . ."
"I love Sakura-chan, Its not that difficult to say"
Ino looked like she was about to cry, so I asked Naruto . . .
"How do you feel about Ino?"
"I . . .I'm not sure . . .I . .I think I love her, too, but . . ."
"Thank you, Naruto-kun"
Whoa, -KUN, Ino said Naruto-kun! . . .Does she like him . . .like that?
WHAT, NOOOOOOOO, SHE CAN'T HAVE MY NARUTO !
MY Naruto? What are you on?
ADMIT IT, SAKURA, WE LIKE THE GUY,
Do I? . . . I do, don't I?
"Naruto" I can't believe I'm gonna say this. "Me and Ino . . .we . . .we both like you."
"I know Sakura-chan, but I love you, both of you . . .I'm sorry, but can we still be friends"
That is IT. I punched him in the face.
"BAKA, I MEAN AS MORE THAN THAT !"
"What, No way forehed, he's MINE."
"Ino-pig, He is MY Naruto, but he still deserves to know that he has 3 girls after him."
"Wait, you, Ino, who's the third?"
"The third girl is the one Sasuke likes. Its Hinata."
"WHAT ! Hinata likes me . . .like THAT ! But . .I just think of her like a sister !"
"Well, Naruto?"
"Huh?"
"Ino-pig and myself both want to know. Who do you pick? Me . . .or HER"
"Um . . .I'm not sure . . .I'm gona be leaving Konoha soon anyway, so . . ."
"Wait, WHAT ?""Wait, WHAT ?"
"Ero-sannin wants to train me, so I can beat Itachi, but he's going away for a few years, so I'm goiing with him to train, so I can keep my promise to Sasuke.
I will be back though, so can I make my decision then?"
"OK, Naruto""OK, Naruto-kun"
"I'll be leaving in 2 months, and be back in . . . about 5 years, so . . ."
"5 YEARS !""5 YEARS !"
"Well, we've got 2 months to sway your decision, so be prepared Naruto, neither of us will give you up without a fight, your gonna have a lot of dates before you go."

OK, I have a few Idea's for stories, dunno which one to start next (BTW, this one is FAR from over, just I enjoy multi-tasking. Plus, unless somthing comes up, I wanna write all of them I'm just asking which one you want first)
A. Naruto / Butterfly Effect. A story that gives Naruto the time-travel abilities of the main charicter from the movie Butterfly effect as the first of 3
levels of a bloodline ability. during the story he gains the other levels too, Tries to make things better, but messes up, then tries to rectify his mistakes.
due to the time travel, Naruto will be paired with many girls, though only 1 per timeline, every time he goes back in time, he will either try somthing to get
the girl he's after to notice him, of give up and go after somone else. Eventual Naru/Ino.
Romance/Action/Adventure
B. The rookie 9 go on a mission, and Naruto is saved by Hinata, who gives him her Byakkugan, like Obito gave Kakashi the Sharingan. The Hyuuga council disapprove.
Naruto now has to kope with the Hyuuga clan wanting him dead, neji's intense training and . . . Hinata's memories. SET BEFORE THE CHUNNIN EXAMS.
Naru/Hina Slight Naru/Saku Saku/Sasu/Ino Neji/Ten.

Pairings Undecided.

D. The Kyuubi did not attack Konoha, dispite popular belief. It was hunted for its power. The 4th gave Konoha the power of Kyuubi - making it an enemy of the leaf in the
process. One boy can change the Demon's mind. But even he will need the help of his friends.
Pairings Undecided.
