DISCLAIMER: Don't own Naruto, Don't sue me.
The sun shone brightly into a small room; it shone over something that should have happened along time ago. It shone over two people that deserved nothing but happiness with each other.
A blanket draped over two bodies that were close together. One body wearing a baggy orange jumper and the other in his usual night wear. A look of serenity and peace on both sleeping faces. They were cuddled together; the sunlight fell on the boys golden locks, and across the beautiful pink haired konochi's face.
The sunlight made the peaceful girl wake from her slumber. She squinted her eyes turned her hear to look at the face that was breathing softly in her ear. A soft smile tugged at her lips, it was rare to see him so calm and silent. She took in the moment and slowly rose from her comfy position. She untangled his arms from her waist and quietly crept out of bed. The blonde scrunched up his face, and rolled over.
Sakura giggled as she walked down Naruto's hallway and made her way to the kitchen.
"This is defiantly better then the last time we woke up here" Inner Sakura chuckled. Sakura kept that smile on her face as she opened up Naruto's cupboards and took out some cereal. He's house always had food, seeing as Sakura did his grocery shopping now. She made herself some breakfast, poured herself a glass of orange juice and started eating.
The surroundings of Naruto's house were all too familiar with Sakura; and she wouldn't have it any other way. She couldn't recall a time or memory when she was this happy. She could enjoy the whole day with Naruto before she had to attend her night shift.
"The whole day with Naruto-kun…" Sakura thought, her smile still not leaving her lips. She heard a loud yawn come from the other room. Her smile increased when Naruto walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning Sakura-chan"
-----------------------------------------------------
Sai lay awake in bed, finishing off his latest masterpiece. The hospital had its usual quiet atmosphere that Sai had gotten used to. He sketched in the finishing touches to his drawings, concentrating hard to get it all perfect.
"She deserves perfection."
He stopped and looked at the drawing with a content look. It was an amazing drawing. Everything from her hair to her smile looked real. He started at it for awhile, just staring
"It'll never compare to her though,"
He was determined. Determined for her to be his, it was something he couldn't yet comprehend. Why did he think this way about her? He knew that it was some kind of emotion, he just didn't understand it fully yet. She always occupies his mind day in and day out. He can't sleep because thoughts of her are still in his mind, and when he does fall asleep, he dreams of her. It was almost like he needed her.
The pain he felt yesterday had dimmed. It only arose when he thought of him. The bastard that stole her away from him. It made his blood boil at the thought of her being with him. It made him angry, very, very angry. It also made him feel pain, which Sai still couldn't figure out why. Once he was better he would look it up in the library.
"I hate feelings,"
------------------------------------------------------------------
"But Sakura-chan!!!" Naruto wailed to the pink haired konochi.
"I told you no Naruto-kun," Sakura said simply as she sat on Naruto's couch and looked at him with a sweet face.
"But I really want ramen for breakfast!" Naruto complained as he sat next to Sakura and gave her the biggest puppy dog eyes. Sakura couldn't help but laugh at his attempt.
"So you'll be having ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner?" Sakura asked Naruto with a quizzical look on her face. Naruto just nodded his head quickly and kept his puppy dog eyes looking directly into Sakura's. Sakura's smile from earlier had returned. She looked to the ground then stood up.
"Fine, but no more puppy dog eyes!" Sakura called from over her shoulder as she walked out the door. Naruto practically ran after her, slamming his front door shut on the way out.
Naruto ran up to Sakura who was almost out of his street. She slowed her pace down a bit so he could catch up.
"Sakura-chan, you can't resist my puppy eyes can you?" Naruto teased as he poked Sakura's sides. She just looked at him with an I-dare-you-to-do-that-again look. Naruto laughed and continued on with his teasing.
The poking had now turned into full on tickling, with Sakura hunched over on Naruto while he tickled her.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Sakura screamed in between laughs. Naruto picked her up and put her over his shoulder and started running towards the town centre.
"You know the second you put me down, your going to regret that" Sakura whispered into Naruto's ear as he picked his pace up.
"You wouldn't Sakura-chan," Naruto said as he made his way into town. He hesitated in putting Sakura on the ground, and looked at her angry face.
"When you least expect it Naruto-kun" Sakura warned Naruto as she strode off towards Ichiraku's ramen store, Naruto walking behind her with his hands on his head with a smug look on his face.
Once they reached Ichiraku's store, they saw the familiar white hair and mask of there sensei.
"Good morning Kakashi-sensei" Sakura and Naruto greeted in unison as they took the next two seats next to Kakashi.
"Yo" Kakashi said as they made themselves comfortable. Underneath his mask he had a smile on his face. Finally those two were together. He had known way back when they all first met that Sakura would eventually fall for Naruto's childish charm. It was along time overdue in Kakashi's opinion.
After they had all finished eating, Kakashi stood up and was about to leave.
"You know, we haven't had much team 7 time lately. You two and Sai up for a bit of training?" Kakashi asked.
"Sai's got that flue that's going around," Sakura told her sensei as she too stood up.
"When he gets better, you guys come and find me" Kakashi said. Naruto and Sakura nodded as Kakashi walked down the street into the crowds of people. Naruto stood up and put an arm around Sakura and started walking.
"Come on, I wanna show you something" Naruto said as he walked in the opposite direction of the town.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A nurse made her way into Sai's room. She received death glares from Sai, who remained silent. She walked over to his chart and looked at it.
"You're looking fine, you should be right as rain by tomorrow" The nurse stated as she made a slight note on the chart. Sai, still not saying a word, just raised an eyebrow at the lady in front of him. The nurse stood awkwardly at the end of Sai's bed.
"What do you want?" Sai asked bitterly, still glaring at the nurse. She looked at him and breathed in.
"Why do you refuse treatment from anyone but Sakura-san?" The nurse asked in a bit of a rushed tone.
Sai's glared intensified.
"It's none of your business" Sai spat out at the nurse, who looked a little frightened. She noticed something on Sai's bedside table, and couldn't help but ask…
"You know she's with that Uzumaki kid right?"
Before the nurse could even realise what was happening she had something thrown at her.
"Get out please" Sai said with one of his fake smiles, but his eyes full of rage.
The nurse was out of his room within a second. Sai sunk into his bed and cursed under his breath. This was going to be one of those days.
"Sleep it off" Sai thought to himself as he rolled onto his side and closed his eyes.
It was only moments later that there was a knock at Sai's door.
"Yes?" Sai called grumpily from his bed as the person entered his room. He felt a slight weight being added to the bed as someone sat on the end of it. He opened his eyes to see Kakashi.
"How are you feeling Sai?" Kakashi asked as Sai sat up.
"I've been better, should be getting out of her by tomorrow" Sai said calmly to his sensei. Kakashi nodded, but suddenly something caught his eye. The drawing of Sakura lay on the bedside table.
"Sai…" Kakashi said in a serious tone as he picked up the drawing.
"Why did you draw a picture of Sakura?" Kakashi asked his tone still very strong. He looked at Sai, and Sai just stared at the drawing.
"Shit" Sai thought, how was he going to explain this one? He decided that he shouldn't hide anything from Kakashi; he was going to tell him the truth. Maybe Kakashi would help him out.

Naruto and Sakura were sitting on the banks of a lake just outside the Konoha forest. The lake had an amazing waterfall. They had been talking, laughing and kissing all afternoon. They had taken advantage of the privacy of the environment they were in and had started to strip down for a quick dip. Sakura was in up to her knees and Naruto was in a little deeper.
He was staring into the waterfall, when Sakura appeared behind him and pushed him in. Sakura was laughing as she ran back to land.
"Paybacks a bitch Naruto-kun!" Sakura squealed as she ran up to where they had been sitting. Before Sakura knew it Naruto was behind her, his wet hands grabbed her hips slightly. He was breathing down her neck. It gave Sakura the most unreal chills all the way threw her body.
"You're right Sakura-chan, payback is a bitch." Naruto whispered into her ear. The next thing Sakura knew, she was face first into the lake.
When she rose from the water, she looked to see Naruto who was using his chakra to sit on top of the water; he had a very smug look written all over his face.
After hours of playing in the lake, the sun started to set. Naruto and Sakura made there way back to Konoha. The sky was a beautiful mix of red and blue as the sun slowly made its way down. It didn't take long for them to get back to Sakura's.
"Thanks for today Naruto-kun" Sakura said as she opened her front door, only to have Naruto's finger tips gently push her up inside. He had a very cheeky grin on his lips.
"I can't be late for work Naruto-kun! I can't take these night shifts!" Sakura complained, knowing exactly what Naruto wanted. He pouted and started to look up at Sakura with those big blue eyes.
"Oh no Naruto-kun! Don't you even THINK about looking at me like that" Sakura stated in a stern voice. She quickly gave him a kiss on the lips.
"I'll see you tomorrow" Sakura said as she started to close her front door, only to be stopped by Naruto's hand catching the door just before it shut. He peeked threw the gap to look at Sakura. He smiled at her, a big cheesy Naruto smile. He opened so he had just enough room to give Sakura a proper goodbye kiss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura had been working at the hospital for a few hours. A few nurses had been busy gossiping here and there, but that was nothing out of the usual. Sakura had done all of her rounds already, expect for one patient. She slowly dragged herself towards his room. She knocked on his door and made her way inside. He was sitting up in his bed staring off into space.
"Hey Sai, how are you feeling?" Sakura asked as she made her way over to his charts. He automatically turned his head over to look at the beautiful pink haired girl in front of him. Even her hospital uniform looked amazing on her figure.
"I feel fine" Sai said, plastering his fake smile across his face. Sakura looked over his charts, and had a pleased look on her face.
"You've gotten a lot better since the last time I was here, you should be good to go tomorrow" Sakura said placing the chart back down. She could feel Sai's stares burning into her. She looked up and caught his dark eyes. She was a little scared at how intense his stare was but this was Sai, her team mate. She relaxed a little bit.
"Are you sure your okay Sai? You look troubled?" Sakura asked politely taking a seat on the edge of the bed. Sai didn't shift his stare from Sakura.
"I need to talk to you Sakura,"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sai, you have to understand that Sakura and Naruto are together. Naruto loves her more then anything in the world, he wouldn't give her up." Kakashi told Sai.
After an hour of Sai and Kakashi talking about Sai's feelings towards Sakura, Kakashi was starting to get a bit worried about the situation. Sai cared about Sakura, he wasn't going to give up on the idea.
"I know there together, but…"
"No buts, ifs or maybes Sai. You were just too late unfortunately; Sakura cares about you as a friend and as a team mate. That's it" Kakashi said. It was harsh, but Sai needed to understand otherwise it could lead to a lot of tension between team 7, or worse.
Sai just sat quietly. He knew deep down that Kakashi was being logical about the situation and he was right. But Sai just didn't want to give up on Sakura, he couldn't.
"If you really cared about Sakura, you would want her to be happy, and she is happy with Naruto" Kakashi said as he walked out of the room.
