Sakura was making breakfast: Pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast. She was making massive amounts of food; way more then she could ever hope to eat. The smell in her kitchen was delicious. Sakura had laid orange juice and milk out on the table along with some fruit. She heard her door open and foot steps to the kitchen.

"Sakura-chan that smells amazing!" Naruto shouted with joy. He wasted no time stuffing his face with fruit. He walked behind Sakura and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, not wanting to disturb her from her cooking in case anything got burnt. He took two glasses out from Sakura's cupboard and placed them on the table. He poured himself milk, and poured Sakura orange juice. He knew she loved orange juice in the mornings. Every day for the last week Sakura and Naruto had spent it together. If you saw them with each other you would think they had been together forever (which is true in some ways). Naruto could just walk into Sakura's house and vice versa. Sakura could just tell when he was coming over; it was almost like they had an unwritten system. Breakfast at Sakura's, lunch and Naruto's, then dinner wherever. The only time they spent apart was when Sakura had work or one of them had training. Everyone knew they were together now thanks to Ino, but it was perfectly fine. Most people didn't mind, or didn't really care. But there were some people who would whisper or point when they saw them together, which was stupid. Not just because they should mind there own business, but pissing off the boy with the nine-tails or the girl with super human strength properly was not the best idea in the world. Sakura had put all the food on the table and sat down at started eating. Before she had even taken her first bite Naruto was almost finished his and going for seconds.

"You should really slow down Naruto-kun. You'll get a stomach ache" Sakura warned Naruto.

"You….really….shouldn't…worry….this is DELCIOUS" Naruto said with his mouth full of food. Sakura couldn't help but giggle. He had matured a lot, but he would always stay the same knuckle head Naruto.

After breakfast they cleaned up together. It was like a married couple, they just worked perfectly together. Once they were done cleaning up, they started to watch some TV.

"Noo Sakura-chan! We watched this yesterday it's my turn to pick!" There was no way Naruto was going to sit threw another chic drama show. He couldn't see the point in them. You didn't learn anything, and there was never any fighting! Sakura just looked at Naruto with puppy dog eyes and a pout on her face.

"Oh no Sakura-chan, don't look at me like that!" Naruto said as he turned his head away from her. He could feel her moving from her seat, she was now kneeling next to Naruto on the couch. He could feel her face right next to his put he still wouldn't look. He couldn't deny that face anything. She was to persuasive for own good. He could feel her breath on his cheek. He was completely relaxed, the atmosphere was calm. Then all of a sudden…

'WHAM!'

Naruto was half way across the room, his head hurting like hell. He looked up to see Sakura holding a pillow.

"You'll watch it, and you'll love it." Sakura told him playfully. She had a cheekish look in her emerald eyes.

"Really Sakura-chan?" Naruto said, trying to be serious. He stood up and walked over to Sakura. She was taken back at how bold he was.

"Yes it is Naruto-kun, what cha going to do about it?" Sakura said, she was now looking him straight in the eye. She still had a playful expression on her face. Naruto thought for a moment or two, and then he smiled. He disappeared and then quickly reappeared right in front of Sakura. He quickly pinned her to the couch, her hands above her head. Naruto was now smirking, which was unusual for Naruto. He moved his hands down Sakura's sides and stopped.

"I know your weakness Sakura-chan" Naruto said quietly, but darkly at the same time. He started tickling her.

Sakura exploded with laughter. She tried her best to wriggle free, but Naruto had a strong hold on her.

"I know ALL your tickly spots Sakura-chan!" He laughed, Sakura's face was worried, but she was still laughing.

"NARUTO-KUN!" She squealed. She couldn't make him stop! All she could do was take her 'punishment'.

"What is it Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked cheekishly. Sakura was now in hysterics. She could barley bring herself to say words.

"s-s-s-s-s-t-t-t-o-o-p-p-p-i-i-i-t-t!" was all Sakura could manage to stutter out.

"What was the Sakura-chan? I can't hear you you're laughing too much!" Naruto teased her. He tickled her more and more. He stopped when he realized she was running out of breath.

"Sakura-chan are you okay?" Naruto asked as the pink haired girl regained her breath. After she had calmed down. She looked at Naruto, and once again he ended up on the other side of the room. But this time instead of a pillow, it was Sakura's fist, and instead of his head hurting, he had a very big and very noticeable lump on his head.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Thanks for walking me to work Naruto" Sakura smiled. Naruto had been extra nice to her today, because of the extreme tickling her gave her he felt bad…even after she kicked his ass for it. He hated to see her anything but happy.

"No problems Sakura-chan! I'll see you in the morning" Naruto said as he gave her a hug and a kiss could bye. Sakura unluckily had the night shift tonight. Naruto waited until Sakura was inside and started working before he left. He was protective of his cherry blossom.

---------------------------------------

It was around one in the morning, and Sakura had just sat down in the doctor's lounge. She was so close to falling asleep. But a tapping at the window kept her up. It kept tapping.

"I hate night shifts" She thought. She rose slowly from the couch and made her way to the window. She was the familiar blonde hair, and it made her smile despite how cranky she was.

"Naruto-kun what are you…" Sakura said but she was cut short but Naruto's lips pressed against hers. His kisses were always soft but controlling. Sakura pulled back and looked around the room.

"Naruto-kun I could get into trouble" She whispered, Naruto just smiled. He took something behind his back. It was coffee. A big cup of coffee. He gave it Sakura and smiled.

"I couldn't sleep; I knew you'd be tired, and grumpy. At least now you'll have a bit more energy and I can worry a bit less" Sakura just blushed. He was always looking out for her. He gave her another gentle kiss.

"Have a good night Sakura-chan, I'll be thinking about you"
