This Chapter Contains

Rating: M for lemony-ness. Also 'Big People Language' like the word FUCK. (Sorry Peeps, still no lemons.)

Disclaimer: I wouldn't be writing this if I owned Naruto would I jackass. Thanks for reminding me that I don't.

Author's Notes: I'm back. I still love you guys, but really long distance relationships don't work. -cries- No really it's great to be back. I'm not sure how long I'm gonna be good for typing but yeah let's go for it! As for why I was gone... I was stuck in a deep state of depression due to a girl. Some of this chapter is loosely based on my love for that girl (Naruto's revelations) , but not everyone you love loves you back. -sigh-

Sakura skimmed through the streets of Konoha with a melancholy look. She was stressed out. The pink haired Kunoichi would most likely have to return to the hospital the next day. Today was the day to get her shit sorted out. Today she would most likely have an embarrassing talk with Ino.

Sakura finally came upon the dreaded building hated only by her and people who don't like flowers. The girl glumly walked in and set her hands down on the counter and stared Ino right in the eye.

"What do you want forehead?" Ino asked lazily planting her index finger dead center on Sakura's forehead.

"Advice"

"Oh? What could the mighty Sakura need help with?"

"Men"

"Speaking of which, what do you think of Naruto?"

Sakura flustered out of anger, jealousy, and embarrassment. She decided that this was the moment to tell Ino that she might possibly have a minuscule amount of emotions for her teammate.

"Actually Ino that was why I came here to..." Ino cut her off.

"No I don't want to hear it. You have horrible tastes in men. Why am I asking you when you just came for advice on them. The truth is I'm thinking about asking Naruto out." Sakura just stared blankly at her blond friend. "Sakura! Earth to Sakura." Sakura snapped out of her stupor.

"Sorry. I dazed out for a bit. So you like Naruto?"

"Well I don't know if I love him or anything, but he seems like a nice guy. Why? You like him too?"

"Not at all." Sakura muttered out. Sakura's hands clenched the counter that separated her and Ino. She considered herself lucky because if the counter had not been there she would have been strangling Ino right now.

"Good because I'll have him all to myself if I do in fact have feelings for him. Love is so complicated."

"You have no idea." Sakura said, forcing out a fake laugh.

The bell to entrance door rang and both girls turned to see who had entered. Hinata meekly placed her back against the door which she had just entered when she realized she was being stared down. She wasn't too happy to see Sakura to say the least. The said girl had just left when Hinata was building up the courage to get angry at her.

"Ohayo Ino-chan. Ohayo Sakura-chan." Hinata finished the pink haired girl's name with an annoyed voice.

"Ohayo Hinata-chan! How has your day been?" With more enthusiasm than one person can withstand.

"It certainly has been Different. Right, Sakura-chan?" Hinata exclaimed in a somewhat serious tone.

"What's Different?" Ino leaned over the counter to hear her friends.

"Nothing is different, absolutely nothing!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Oh I beg to differ Sakura-chan." Hinata spoke cynically. "I thought about it on the way here. I know you punched Naruto off me was because you were jealous!" Sakura flustered at the bold, but slightly true comment.

"You like Naruto?" Ino prodded Sakura with her finger. Sakura slapped away the annoying blond's hand away.

"I don't know. I'm not exactly too sure." Ino stared Sakura down.

"Why did you lie to me then? You knew I was going to ask him out."

"Wait," Hinata yelled out. "Ino you like him too?"

"Maybe. He seems like a nice person." For the next few moments there was an awkward silence between the three girls until all three of them started arguing about who Naruto would go with.

Naruto was walking to nowhere in particular. Just recovering from some painful previous events. Sure the medical attention from Ino helped, but those punches from Sakura can kill people. He's lucky enough just to survive them.

The said man realized that one of his greatest dreams would never happen. Sakura always loved Sasuke. Back when they were twelve, she chased him even when he didn't return her feelings. She'll still chase him even if he was gay. The jinchuriki also realized that maybe it was time to move on. Sakura would never return the same feelings that he gave to her every day.

Hinata. Hinata had admitted her love to the blond boy just hours ago. She seemed like a nice girl, but the girl was a little quiet for his tastes. She was to shy. Sakura was independent and strong. Not timid at all. She expresses her opinion with vigorous determination.

Ino is a very beautiful girl, but not nearly as beautiful as Sakura. To Naruto, Sakura represented everything that is good, all that is beautiful, all that is right, and all that he wants. No girl could ever compare to her. Not even Ino.

He didn't know Tenten very well. He assumed that she was a nice girl. Although she looked like a tomboy. The girl was strong and independent, but lost a feminine quality that Sakura still had. Although strong and independent Sakura still had a feminine side that showed clearly.

Nothing could ever compare to her. Sakura would forever be etched in his heart.

'I'm such a selfish bastard. I can't just let her be free. She doesn't love me. I have to let go...' The blond boy sat down glumly at a small dango shop. He felt a small tap on his shoulder and turned to see Shikamaru and Temari holding hands.

"What's with the sad look Naruto?"

"The world just seems out to get me?" He replied with a melancholy smile on his face.

"I know what you mean. I had to go and fall in love with a lazy bum." Temari sighed.

"Troublesome. I'm going to get some drinks." Shikamaru slipped away to the front counter. Temari sat in the seat in front of Naruto. She studied the blond's face.

"A girl."

"What?"

"Your problems are that of which have dealings with girls?" She said very slow as if he were stupid. Naruto shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He wasn't fond of listing off his personal problems. He tried to keep his troubles to himself so that no others would have to deal with it. The only person that he ever helped him in that way was the previous hokage, Sandiame.

"Let me ask you this. What is love like when it's returned?" Temari leaned back in surprise. She was expecting a question about what girls' likes are. The word love is such a strong word. Love is such a complex emotion. It can destroy and it can create.

"Naruto... It's a lot of things. It's warmth. It's security. There's only one word that can describe love Naruto and that word is love itself. I don't know if there's a girl in your life that you love, but if you think about to much you might end up with a broken heart Naruto. Love can be the strongest bond in your life or the weakest."

Naruto lowered his head on to the table. Should he really just drop his feelings and move on? After all the waiting he's done. Sakura's shown no signs that they were going to be more than there ever were now.

With steeled determination Naruto raised his head and stared Temari right in the eye.

"Thank You." He rose from his seat and walked out the of the shop. Shikamaru returned with drinks in hand.

"What was up with him."

"That boy is lovestruck like no other." Shikamaru gazed upon his love.

"Troublesome."

"Lazy Bum"

"Hokage-sama why are we at your house?"

"Two reasons actually. One, I don't have sake at the office. Two, the office is being renovated. Okay, no one is leaving until I found out why you guys were on the brink of having a brawl in a public flower shop." Tsunade eyed all three girls searching for answers. The girls had a faint blush adorning their cheeks. The reason the girls were fighting was outrageous. I mean who fights over Naruto.

"Naruto" Sakura managed to squeak out under the intense gaze of Tsunade. All of them were lined up in the living room of Tsunade's house. Sakura scooted back out of the line due to the extreme amount of embarrassment she was feeling.

"Why were you fighting over Naruto?" The three girls' blushes intensified and Tsunade had found her answer. "All of you like him?" All three nodded in acceptance. "I need some sake."

"Don't worry Shikyo she wasn't worth it in the first place if she rejected you like that." Naruto said.

"Like Naruto said she was probably just some dirty whore." Sakura said.

"But she was suppose to be my dirty whore." I cried out in agony.

Just a small thing I thought up of before I sent it in. Lol

A/N: So yes it is short, but I just got back to typing late last night. I'll have another chapter up soon. Be sure to send some love and review. Reviews are the fuel for us author. Although I'm not a very good one.

Fact: NaruSaku has more male fans while SasuSaku has more female fans. I guess girls really do like the tall dark and handsome men. I'm not sure if it's really a fact, but I saw some polls done on a website. It seemed pretty conclusive.
