Chapter 2: Love
Naruto couldn't make up his mind. Not that it was unusual, but today it was bugging him. He knew he loved ramen, but he loved Sakura. He loved playing pranks on people, but he loved being around her. He loved his sexy-no-jutsu, but he loved her body more than he ever loved his fake girl's. He loved her, more than he loved anything else. Now only if he could get that straight in his head – it was confusing him. He repeated three words in his head, trying to alter the feelings conveyed as he mentally heard it.
"I love you."
