Sakura was walking towards Naruto's house, the sun had set and the village seemed to light up. She was in a plain green tank top and black shorts; it was simply yet flattered her figure perfectly. The village seemed busy tonight, everyone was out and about. No other village was as friendly as Konoha, the smiling faces everyway made the environment seem safer in a way. There was a cool breeze wondering threw the air, it was a hot night. Sakura took it all in, its times like these when she really appreciated where she was. Not just in Konoha, but her life too. She had amazing people to share life with; she smiled at the thought of the one person that makes everything worth doing. His blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, toned body, his cheesy smile, his fun personality just everything about him. He was perfect for her and she couldn't believe that she hadn't realised it before. She felt like kicking herself that she had never paid attention to him, attention that he deserved. She made her way the village centre to the outer streets, it was quieter and darker around this area. But Sakura knew this area well, she made her way threw the twists and turns until she found a small house with a dead garden. She walked up to the front door and opened it up. She took her shoes off and left them next to the door.

"Naruto-kun I'm here" Sakura called, she could smell something, could it be actually food instead of instant ramen? She sniffed the air curiously as she made her way threw the small house to Naruto's kitchen, and sure enough he was cooking. Sakura just stared in complete awe, her mouth wide open. Naruto turned his head slightly and flashed her one of his biggest smiles yet.

"I thought I'd do something special for you" Naruto said as he stirred a pot of something, Sakura just took in the wonderful flavours that filled Naruto's kitchen.

"I didn't know you could cook!?" Sakura said in disbelief. She just never thought Naruto was one for cooking.

"Ichiraku-san helped me a bit" Naruto said quietly. Sakura just looked at him slyly.

"A bit?" She questioned raising an eyebrow. She loves Naruto and all, but there's just no way the knuckle head can cook something this good.

"Sakuraaa-chann!" Naruto wailed, he just pouted at her.

"There's no way a smart girl like this would believe you of all people could cook" The Kyuubi laughed.

"It's okay Naruto-kun! I think it looks great" She said as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. He was still pouting at her as he continued to do the finally preparations for there dinner. His dining table was set for two; he had candles and two big bottles of sake that Jiraiya had given him especially for tonight on the table. Everything looked so amazing, Sakura looked at Naruto and he was perfect. Naruto felt her gaze on him, he looked over into her green eyes, they stared at each other for a moment then Naruto returned to cooking.

"You should tell him you love him," Inner Sakura said.

"When the times right," Sakura said, she had a few things to tell Naruto like about her dream with the Kyuubi, and the picture of her that Sai had drawn. But not tonight, tonight was going to be special.

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

The light threw the window shone done and landed on Sakura, she slowly opened her eyes and awoke from her sleep.

Panic.

Panic was the only thing running threw Sakura's mind. Her head was pounding, her body aching. She wasn't in her room anymore; she was in someone else's bed. She felt pressure to her side; she was almost too scared to look. She couldn't remember what had happened, how she ended up where she was. She raised her head slightly to see the familiar whiskers that belonged to one person and one person only. Knowing this she calmed down, she new that as long as she was with him she was safe. The light from the window was shining in his blonde hair, he looked so peaceful. Then she noticed she was cuddled up to his warm body, his warm bare body. That's when the panic began to rise again. She looked to see that she was snuggled against his chest and his arms were wrapped around her waist, she was only in her underwear.

"At least you're not naked…" Inner Sakura said, not even she could remember the events of last night.

She took a better look at the boy lying next to her, he was in his boxers.

"Thanks Kami" Sakura thought to herself, she did want her first time to be like that. Sakura's head was still throbbing. She slowly untangled herself from her boyfriend and climbed out of the bed. She made her way very slowly towards the hallway. Next to his room was the bathroom, she went threw the medicine cabinet and took some aspirin out. She took in her appearance in the mirror. Her hair was messed up; her neck had small red marks all the way down to her collar bone and her lips looked swollen. She would clean herself up later, but right now she needed something to wash down the aspirin. She made her way to the kitchen; she noticed that pictures that were once on the walls were knocked off or on a tilt. She entered the lounge room to find two pairs off pants and a shirt. One of the pants belonging to her. She kept walking; she was too tired to put them back on. She poured two glasses of water and took the pills to easy her headache. She stood in the kitchen for a moment. She took in the surroundings; the table had been completely cleared, the candles had burnt out, the bottles of sake empty on the floor. Some of last night's plates and cutlery were in the sink, others scattered on the floor. The table cloth was half on the table half off, the chairs were upside down. Her top was on the floor.

"What happened last night?" Sakura thought hard, how could she not remember!

"Judging by the empty bottles of sake on the floor and the house being trashed, you had a wild night" Inner Sakura was analysing the situation. Sakura put her top back on. She would clean up but her head was killing her, the aspirin wasn't working very well. She took the class and the extra pills and walked back to Naruto's room. She looked at the sleeping boy. The way he looked was indescribable. He looked peaceful, he looked handsome, and he looked grown up. He was reminiscent of a prince in her eyes. She placed the aspirin and water on his bedside table. She couldn't taker her eyes off him. Her head was still hurting so she decided to get a bit more sleep. She crawled back into bed and cuddled back into the position she woke up in. She tried to get comfortable, but it just wasn't happening. She wriggled and turned over. Then she felt the weight of the bed shift.

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto whispered. He turned her over so she was facing him and pulled her close to him. Sakura just lay there and looked at him. Then his eyes opened wide.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" He yelled, shock was written all over his face. Sakura winced at how loud he was. Naruto jumped and sat up, then regretting his decision to do so. Now he's head was also throbbing with pain. He put his hands to his head and closed his eyes.

"What's going on!" He thought to himself. He opened his eyes to see Sakura also sitting up next to him. She was looking down into her knees, she looked sad.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked as he looked at her. He put his hand underneath her chin and turned in gently towards him.

"I just have a huge headache, do you remember what happened?" Sakura asked as she stared deep into those blue eyes. Naruto froze for a moment thinking hard. He turned his head to look away from Sakura, he remembered what happened. He noticed the water and aspirin and picked them up and handed them to Sakura. She shook her head.

"I've already taken some, I got that for you" Sakura said as she pushed it slightly back towards Naruto. He took the aspirin and gulped down the water, he put the empty cup back where he picked it up from.

"Thanks Sakura-chan" Naruto said, he noticed she was wearing her top.

"That's strange; I swear I took it off. Maybe it was just a dream." Naruto said as he studied Sakura's appearance. He was looking for something. Then he found them, the love bites he had left along Sakura's neck. It was all coming back to him now.

"Sakura-chan, I'm so sorry it got out of hand I…" Naruto started

"What happened Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked, she looked at him hard. She was scared that she seriously couldn't remember a thing.

Memories of last night came flooding back into Naruto's mind. The things she said, the things he said and what they did. He just looked at her; he didn't know where to start.

"Please tell me Naruto-kun" Sakura begged as she looked him in the eye. She needed to know.

"Okay Sakura-chan…"

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

Sai was in his bed, with medicine, tissues and buckets around him. He was drawing (how unusual) but this drawing was going to be his masterpiece. He was sketching the outlines of it now, but when he was ready to draw the end copy he hoped it would be half as beautiful as the girl he was drawing. He had been trying to capture the real beauty of her for months, but he couldn't quiet grasp it. He had called her ugly, but now he realised that she wasn't. She was without a doubt the most beautiful girl in Konoha. He knew she had some kind of emotion for his other team mate, and he couldn't see why.

"Naruto can have her for now, but she's going to be mine."

Naruto was annoying and loud. Sai couldn't understand what he felt for Sakura, but he knew he had never felt this way before. Some how she made him have this warm feeling threw out his body, and he liked it. He wanted her to be his. He wanted her so bad; he wanted to know what this feeling was. He wanted her to be his and his alone.

"No matter what it takes,"
