Ch. 2

Meet Naruto Uzumaki.

As Sakura headed to her old house, she was thinking about Tsunade's offer. She wasn't really paying attention to where she was walking until she bumped into someone.

"Gomen, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," she said quickly, and panicking.

"No, it's okay. I wasn't paying attention either."

Sakura looked at the boy shocked. He had blond spiky hair, with cerulean blue eyes. He wore an orange jump suit and a ninja headband. He also had whiskers on both of his cheeks.

"So I have seen you around hear a lot lately. What's your name? Mine is Naruto Uzumaki. Do you live around here? Do you dye your hair pink or is it naturally like that? Do you go to school? Do you have any friends?" He said loudly and very fast but luckily Sakura caught it.

"Um, my name is Sakura, nice to meet you Naruto. Yes, I live around here. My hair is naturally pink. I don't go to school. I-I don't have any friends." Sakura stated, stuttering the last part.

'What's with this guy? Why didn't he leave or insult me like the others? Man, this guy is weird. Maybe he doesn't know.' Sakura thought to herself, tons of questions running in her head.

'What's with this girl? How come she just didn't walk away like the other people do, or insult me like the kids do? Maybe she doesn't know. But everyone knows. She seems nice. But she doesn't have any friends. I wonder why?'
Naruto thought, with the same amount of questions running through his head as Sakura.

"I like your name Sakura." Naruto sated sweetly.

"Umm… thanks?" Sakura said. 'Weirdo.' she thought.

'Her name sounds very familiar to me where did I hear it? OH!! I know now, the girl who 'murdered' her family! I knew that. Wow, I'm so smart.'

'Dummy!!,' said his 'inner' self (M: A inner self is like anther mind im sure everyone has one but they don't know it. I know I do! I'm not crazy!! A: Ignore her, she's on really strong allergy medicine.)

"Wow, thanks your such a good person," Naruto replied.

"Hello Naruto? Earth to Naruto," Sakura said waving her hand in front of his face.

"Huh? Oh sorry Sakura-chan, and I know you now," he said.
"You do?" sakura said sadness in her voice."

You're the girl who 'murdered' her family. Right?"

Sakura turned around so her back was facing Naruto.

When that happened, Naruto became very confused.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to talk to me, go ahead, and be like the others," she said.

'She's just like me only a girl.'He thought to himself feeling bad for the girl.

"The whole town doesn't like me, so what's anther person," she stated.

"NO NO SAKURA, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!" Naruto shouted a bit too loudly for Sakura's liking, but she decided to ignore it.

"Then, what did you mean?"

"I mean….. I know how you feel, and in case you don't know about me I'll tell you, because I know you don't know now."

"Go on…" she said, getting impatient. She was getting very annoyed at how much this guy talked. 'Talk about blabber mouth,' she thought to herself.

"Well along time ago when I was still a baby, the nine-tailed fox, Kyuubi, came and attacked the village. Have you ever heard of that? The nine-tailed fox?." Naruto asked.

"Yeah, he was sealed in a new-born to save the village. Right?"

"Yes, Fourth Hokage sealed it, also losing his life in the process."

"And why are we going over this story again?"

"Well….. The fox demon affected all people of Konoha."

"AND?!"

"THAT INFANT WAS ME!!!!! SAKURA, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ME, BECAUSE I KILLED THE PEOPLE!!!" Naruto yelled.

"At least people don't accuse you of murdering your family," Sakura mumbled, still a bit shocked that she was talking to the jinchuuriki, or demon holder.

"Actually Sakura, I don't have a family," Naruto said sadly. He tried hard to hide it, but he failed miserably. So, of course Sakura saw this, and she had a sad look on her face feeling pity for the boy. So, she tried changing the subject.

"Do want to come over and he some lunch at the Ichiraku Ram-," but she was interupted by a...
"RAMEN?! YAHOOO!! LETS GOOO!!," and he went straight to the ramen shop, dragging Sakura by the wrist.

"en….shop," she finished. (-.-')

'Wow, talk about hyperactive,' Sakura thought.
