Hello again. Well I know that the stories are…short and all, but once in a while I like to give a cliffhanger, but not always. Well anyway I guess I should get onto the story.

K'sN&S-Hello

Naruto-What should I do?

K'sN&S-Well, do what you think your brain should do

Naruto-So you're saying that I should let her die?

K'sN&S-WHOA! Never mind about your brain, do what your heart thinks

Naruto-So I should mark her and make her mine, even though I really am not fond of her.

K'sN&S-You said you were worried, and if you don't save her then Kishimaru will pop you in the face so hard I shouldn't really get into detail.

Naruto-(gulps) Well I still don't know what to do

K'sN&S-Follow your heart, see what it thinks instead of your, absent, brain.

Naruto-Hey! I'm not absent minded! Wait, what are we talking about again?

K'sN&S-Thus my case is put to rest. But anyway, do what you think would be the better choice.

Naruto-(sighs) okay, I'll put that into consideration

K'sN&S-Good, now shall we get onto the story?

Naruto-Sure, why not

Disclaimer-I don't own Naruto, he belongs the Lord Kishimoto, not me. But I would give a lot to work for him though, what about you guys? But I own Kishimaru which Kishimoto does not. Although it would be really cool if Kishimoto accepted Kishimaru, what do you think? Oh well, enjoy the story. Naruto and Sakura forever!

Naruto was caught in-between his mind, and his heart as beads of sweat dripped down his face. He looked at Sakura, who was in shock as she squirmed from her nightmares and the pain. It was a horrible sight for him, and the Kyuubi just sat there silent, but being the demon he is, broke it.

"Well, are you going to save the damned bitch or what?" Kyuubi asked impatiently.

"She's not a damned bitch!" Naruto shouted back mentally. Kyuubi cocked an eyebrow and chuckled evilly.

"So…you still have feelings for her, don't you kit?" Kyuubi asked smirking. The black line around his mouth made him look very demonic as the smirk gave something away, but Naruto couldn't put his finger on it.

"Well, I hate to see someone suffer, and what's with that smirk? You hiding something from me?" Naruto asked. Kyuubi shrugged and licked his paw. Naruto got skeptical, but now wasn't the time. He thought and gulped. What he would do would make him never leave Sakura, and she might hate him if he did it, but he swallowed hard. "Okay, I'll do the damn marking, just shut the fuck up while I do it." Naruto said. Kyuubi growled and Naruto just smirked and cut off his connection with the fox. He looked at Sakura, and saw her pale as she gasped and sweated. Naruto sighed and took a deep breath, and then bent down. He moved the covers a bit to where he could see her neck. He bent his head down and his fangs sharpened and his eye turned a deep crimson. He then bit her neck, and sunk his fangs into her silky skin. She winced and screamed loudly, enough for Kishimaru, who was nearly a mile away to hear it.

With Kishimaru

"Arghhhhh!" Kishimaru heard someone scream. He perked up and found that it was coming from the site. He grabbed the herb he had and ran with it, and the other ones he had collected and rushed to the scream.

With Naruto and Sakura

Sakura stopped screaming and Naruto pumped the foxes chakra into her from his fangs. Naruto's testosterone level was rising very quickly and his eyes turned into an even more blood colored aura. He then grew claws from his hands and his whisker marks darkened and grew longer, giving him the average appearance of a fox, while his hair grew spikier. Soon the "Mark of Pain" dissipated and was replaced with "The Mark of Love" as it appeared on her skin. It had a four-star shuriekan with claw-like marks in all four of the grooves, and was blood red. Naruto took his teeth out of Sakura's neck and saw small trickles of blood, swiftly making their way down the side of her neck. He found a powerful urge and licked the blood off, and cleaned it. He sucked on the fangs marks he made and then licked it again, making sure it was clean and wasn't going to infect her. He looked at her, his blood-red eyes meeting her form. Naruto traced around her body and he dragged his eyes all the way down her silky smooth skin, tracing her form and instantly memorizing it. He, under the foxes influence, got very curious.

"Hey kit, maybe you should "check" on those bruises for our brother." Kyuubi said in a perverted tone, but still dark. Naruto grinned and nodded. Naruto extended his hand and grabbed the sheet and pulled it off a little, seeing the rim of her breast. He smirked and then pulled more as he found her body, shining in the sun. But then as he was about t pull the whole thing off, he heard someone and looked with a dark grunt.

"Big brother! What happened I heard a scream!" Kishimaru shouted and asked. Naruto covered Sakura's body and his eyes, nails, and whisker marks went back to normal, and his hair became the regular spiky hair he had. Kishimaru came out from behind a bush and looked at Sakura. He was panting, as though he had run a long way to get there.

"Oh, nothing squirt, just helping Sakura." Naruto said smiling. Kishimaru, still panting rushed over to her and looked at her body. She was still sweating, but was calmed. Kishimaru sighed in relief and wiped his forehead.

"Good, well I got the herbs. I just need to grind them up, and soon we'll-" Kishimaru stopped as he saw something on Sakura's neck. He got very curious, and Naruto looked at Kishimaru, a bit confused. Kishimaru bent down and uncovered her a bit so he could see thoroughly and he gave small gasp. He looked at Naruto, who just looked at him. "B-Big brother," Kishimaru stuttered. Naruto sighed and nodded. "Y-You put The Mark of Love on her?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto just nodded and sighed again, as Kishimaru looked at his older, and most respected, sibling in awe.

"Squirt, you've gotta understand, I had to do it." Naruto stated. Kishimaru looked at Sakura, and she seemed calm and peaceful. Kishimaru felt her forehead. It was still faintly warm, but was going down. He sighed in relief once more and looked at Naruto, who smiled in return.

"So, why did you do it?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto looked at him and gave a shrug.

"Well she was going into shock, so I did what my heart said to do. But before you go blaming me, it was the foxes fault." Naruto said.

"So, it was my brother who did this to Sakura, eh?" Sheichibi asked. Naruto heard him, and so did Kishimaru, and they both nodded. "Well, can't blame him for being softy once in a while, the big red fur ball." Sheichibi said and chuckled.

"Hey! I heard that dammit!" Kyuubi shouted angry. Sheichibi just laughed.

"Well you've always been one for "love" ya big pervert!" Sheichibi said and cracked up laughing. Kyuubi growled, but Sheichibi, being another demon, wasn't affected.

"Hey at least I mated." Kyuubi grinned. Sheichibi stopped, and then cracked up laughing again. "Hey, what's so funny dammit!" The fox shouted in anger.

"You may have mated, but you won't be able to mate anymore!" Sheichibi cracked. Kyuubi got an animation look with white eyes, and bared his teeth.

"Well, I, uh, I can always take possession of kit and do my dirty work." Kyuubi said. The blue wolf stopped and smiled.

"Yes, that may be, but it's the older kits decision since he marked Sakura as his mate, so you have no say. Pervert." Sheichibi said again and laughed. Naruto and Kishimaru started to crack up laughing, and Kyuubi growled at them all.

"You know fox, he's got a point, you're a big pervert!" Naruto said mentally.

"Yeah, the biggest pervert, almost bigger than Jiraiya!" Kishimaru shouted mentally. Naruto stopped when he heard, "Jiraiya" Kishimaru instantly covered his mouth. Naruto might have slipped the last time he heard his sensei's name, but now he heard it. "Big brother, I'm sorry I forgot." Kishimaru said. Naruto looked at his brother and the two demons listened. "I'm sorry. It must have felt like you were being stabbed over and over again when we heard Jiraiya died. You would smile for two months." Kishimaru explained. Naruto, frowning, looked down and Kishimaru walked over and hugged his brother. Naruto hugged back, and while they were sharing a brother-to-brother moment, Sakura had woken up. The mark had healed her completely, and she heard everything. She was shocked, but still had her eyes closed so they wouldn't know she was awake.

"Jiraiya, died. But how?" Sakura asked herself mentally. She felt sorry for Naruto. He had, had it rough, very rough. And her constant hitting him didn't help it either, but he stayed strong. But, Sakura knew that each time he smiled, he was hurting, hurting like nothing had ever broken him like that before. It brung tears to her eyes as she thought of Naruto, crying over his lost, perverted sensei. She would have to make Naruto feel better again. She didn't want him going around with a blank face. She wanted him to go around with a bright and shining face. She would have to do something to make him better, but what. Maybe, she thought, he just needed someone there for him. He had never had any parents, and Kishimaru was his only family, basically. She just needed to be there for him, and that's what would make him feel better, she knew it.

"Are you okay now, big brother?" Kishimaru asked. He looked at Naruto, and Naruto looked at him and nodded silently. "Good, I'm glad you are." Kishimaru said happily. Naruto smiled and looked at Sakura, who was sleeping peacefully, and gave a sweet smile in her sleep and moved around a bit, feeling Naruto's presence still inside the roll. It made her feel so…so safe. She never really realized it, but she might have thought about Naruto and her, snuggling together. She could imagine Naruto's muscles, heating her body as she snuggling up to him. It made her blush, thinking about how much Naruto had "grown" over the years. Naruto saw a tint of red spread across her face, and got curious and bent down. He touched her cheek and she felt the warm palm heat her right cheek. His tanned skin touched her soft silky skin, and Sakura took a deep breath in pleasure as Naruto's warmth was transferred to her body. She smiled and he looked at her face skeptically.

"Hey, I think this fever is getting worse. Either she thinks I'm Sasuke, or something else." Naruto said. Kishimaru looked and smiled as he saw Sakura cuddling up to Naruto's hand.

"Maybe, big brother. Maybe it is just something else, and I can tell you. It isn't about Sasuke either." Kishimaru said smiling. Naruto looked at him with his eyebrow cocked and Kishimaru just sighed and smiled again, although it was hidden from his cloak.

"What do you mean, 'something else'?" Naruto asked blindly. Kishimaru groaned at how blind his brother could be, but that was part of the reason Kishimaru loved his brother.

"Well, look at her big brother. Look at how she's holding your hand." Kishimaru said softly. Naruto looked and saw Sakura's hand on his. He saw the content smile on her face and she took a nice deep breath. Naruto just watched in awe, and then felt something pang in his heart. It struck him like a brick, being tossed nearly 50 mph at him. He jolted and flinched. Kishimaru took in a small surprised gasp as his brother had jumped a bit. "Big brother, what's wrong?" Kishimaru said getting up and checking his brother, who was wide eyed and his mouth opened, as is something had hit him, but not on the outside, but on the inside. Kishimaru then smirked and knew what had happened. All tolerance his brother lost for Sakura, had come back and she had found a place in his heart, again. Now it was Kishimaru's turn to help out with everything. He wasn't going to let them break up again. He was going to make sure that he told Sakura why hid brother loved her, and what she must do to get him to get better again. He just smiled discretely as he saw his brother in awe as Sakura had her hand over his, by far, massive hand. Naruto was still in a daze as Sakura held his hand. He was feeling something, his heart had brung on, and it was a strong feeling. He didn't know what it was, but it was very strong, as if it had been there all along, and was waiting for her to unlock it, with her heart. He just looked at her, and saw her smiling face sleeping as his palm held her palm.

"Well, what do you know kit. I think she'll make a lovely mate for you." Kyuubi said.

"Do, you really think she has the same feelings for me, as she did Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Kyuubi thought and came to one conclusion.

"We'll have to see if she loves you or not kit. The answers will come in time." Kyuubi concluded. Naruto just looked at Sakura. She was beautiful, very beautiful indeed. He just wanted to get in bed with her and snuggle close to her. Actually he wanted to shove his throbbing cock into her and make her moan beautifully. Kyuubi smirked as an image of Sakura naked and turning him on passed through his mind. "Oh, my little kit is getting

hard…already? Well, it's not like you get like that every time you hear her name." Kyuubi smirked. Naruto felt a sudden blush blow right across his face, and it spread like wildfire. Maybe Sakura was starting to have these feelings for him, or maybe she was just doing this so he would forgive her, and then she would treat him like a sack of shit again. Or, perhaps not. She wanted his forgiveness, like she wanted something that loved her, something that was throbbing and haunting her mind. It was something, at the top of her list. He just smiled and looked at Kishimaru, who was smiling back and looking at him.

"Well, I think something's going to go on soon, squirt. I just hope it's going to be good." Naruto said. Kishimaru smiled and nodded. He knew his brother wanted to get in bed with her and sleep with her, and just smiled, closing his eyes in a sweet way.

"So, big brother," Kishimaru started. Naruto looked at him and Kishimaru opened his eyes. Kishimaru's eyes sparkling like never before as they hit Naruto's, still dull and brisk eyes. Kishimaru was in perfect shape and Naruto knew that he was better. "I'm guessing that you want to be with Sakura still, right?" Kishimaru asked, hoping yes was the answer. Naruto just looked at him and grinned.

"Well, maybe, but I'll have to see what she's got…as a woman first." Naruto answered back. Sakura heard it and didn't move, as only thoughts of her and Naruto filled her mind. For once, in a lifetime, she was picturing her and Naruto, together.

Sakura's dream

Naruto and Sakura were sitting on a tree, staring at the beautiful sunset as it glazed over the field below them. Sakura was situated between Naruto's legs, and he had his arms wrapped around her, and also holding her hand. Sakura snuggled into his body, and felt warmth that she craved like she once craved Sasuke. But now she had gotten Naruto's forgiveness, and they were together, and happy now. She had never felt so happy in her entire life as she was with the one whom she truly loved. He had been there for her all the time, and she was blind, blind like a bat without the use of echolocation to navigate. But she had gotten what she truly desired. And now, she was going to be happy, and happy meant that they were both happy, and she felt like a new person. She looked up at Naruto, who was looking down at her, and he smiled at her. His eyes were clear, and beautiful, better than they were before. Now that she had made him happy, he was fixed on her, and she had made him better.

"I love you, Naruto." Sakura said. Naruto smiled and bent down to her lips, only stopped right before hitting them.

"I love you to, Sakura." Naruto said before kissing her passionately. It was her first kiss with Naruto, and was better then Sasuke could ever muster. He kissed with so much passion, so much lust it made her a happy girl to see him finally expressing his true feelings for her. She knew, Naruto needed more comfort, and she would give it to him, one way, or another. And there was one way, she wanted to give Naruto her love. The way, true love was shone from on person to another person. Through pure lust, she would show him what she was like, in her different way. As they both kissed she cupped his cheek, and he held her back and they both kissed as the sun disappeared, and stars came out with the moon, shining enviously at them as its beautiful pale light cast down upon them, covering them in a milky light that just made them both seem like ghosts themselves. She, was now complete, and Naruto knew that she, would complete him tonight, in his apartment.
