A/N: Hi guys! I felt like it was time to throw a tad bit more romance into the story and also introduce a character that'll cause trouble in random later chapters. Not very good with romance so please tell me what you think and give critisism!

I Dont' own Naruto blahhh blahh... enjoy please!

Sakura had never had her first kiss...and it irritated her to no end! All the while, she would sit with her best friend, Ino, and listen to her talk about how good or bad a guy's kissing was that she had been out on a date with .I guess you could say she was jealous. Why hasn't she found a guy yet? Sure, she didn't have a killer body like Ino's. Her breasts were barely c-cups and her curves were hardly there. She definitely didn't have long flowing hair, hers stopping right at her shoulders. And sure, she may not dress pretty like all the other girls. But she wasn't hideous, she knew that much. So why hasn't anyone taken an interest in her yet? She let out a sigh. Ino, who had currently been in the middle of a rant, stopped and lifted an eye brow.

"What's wrong, don't tell me I've bored you already?" Sakura shook her head.

"No it's not that, it's just weird hearing you talk about guys."

"I talk about guys all the time and you're just now calling it weird?" Ino asked, confused.

"No no no, it's...Grr! how do I say this without sounding stupid? It's so embarrassing!" She put her face in her hands.

"It's okay, Forehead, you can tell me anything." She patted her head and smiled reassuringly.

"Okay, fine. I never had my first kiss" She said quickly. Ino burst into laughter. "What's so funny about it?" She asked, defensively.

"Oh nothing! You made it seem like such a big deal!" Sakura blushed, embarrassed. Ino calmed down and smiled.

"I mean, I know I talk about it a lot and I've kissed liked a lot of guys, but it's not all that. If you want to put it in to girl terms, I haven't had my first kiss either." It was Sakura's turn to look confused.

"What do you mean? What, it doesn't count as a first kiss 'til number 20?" Ino rolled her eyes at the sarcasm.

"Uggh, no that's not what I mean. My definition of a kiss is expressing your emotions for someone you care about through kissing. I hardly care about those guys, they're just dates. I've yet to find that one guy who I want to just...pour all of my emotions into, that one special kiss I guess." Ino smiled softly.

"In conclusion," Sakura started, raising her hand," girl logic." Ino nodded and they laughed.

"Don't worry, you shouldn't rush things like that. They come with time .I guess I should take my own advice and wait for the right guy but that's not my style. Be patient, Forehead." Ino put up five fingers, smiling mischievously. "But of course you have to know the signs."

"Signs?"

"Yep! They'll look at you with a tender look, their eyes will look a your lips from time to time, they'll find excuses to touch you, they'll smile at you, and of course they'll touch your face or hair softly"

"...Uh okay. I guess I'll remember that, but..what if..i'm a bad kisser?" Ino scoffed.

"Oh pish posh! Kissing is second nature. When the time comes, you'll know what to do."

"Aright, thanks Ino. You're amazing, really." Ino smiled softly.

"Of course I am! No problem,darlin'!"She teased.

Sakura nodded and stood up, adjusting her skirt.

"Well, now that this random conversation is over, I really have to go. It's my first off day in a while and I promised my mom I'd cook dinner with her." They said their goodbyes and parted ways.

As Sakura walked, she couldn't help but think about their conversation. The thought of a guy trying to kiss her was nerve racking. What the heck was she supposed to do? At what point do you close your eyes? What if the guy isn't trying to kiss you and you end up looking stupid? All those questions were giving her a headache. As she turned the corner, she heard a familiar voice.

"Haha, sure thing, I don't have anything planned." The raspy voice let out a carefree laugh, his voice soft and happy sounding. Sakura hid around the corner. She peaked and spotted a guy and a girl talking. She recognized Naruto, but who was the girl. She had long black hair and fluorescent cat-like eyes. She wore a vest that stopped at her belly button and nothing under it. Her pants (if you could call that pathetic excuse of material pants) were pretty low rise and suggestive. She wore normal high top shoes. Overall, she had an exotic wild look.

The bitch was gorgeous.

Sakura was steaming. 'Who the heck is she? Are they dating? How come he didn't tell me! Does he not trust-' She was pulled out of her thoughts by a tentative voice calling her name.

"Saaakuraaaa, you in there?" Naruto stared curiously. The girl next to him just watched indifferently. Sakura tried to fight off the blush she felt coming, embarrassed at being caught spying.

"Yea, sorry, I just zoned out for a second. So, what's up?" she smiled, nervously.

"Nothing much, I guess. Baa-chan won't give me anymore missions so for now i've just been randomly hanging out with friends. Oh-" He turned towards the girl next to him, smiling happily.

"This is Koiyacou, she's a part of the ANBU torture division, she's like an apprentice to Ibiki. I met her on that ANBU mission that I had to do a few days ago. Koiyacou, this is Sakura, my teammate." Torture division? That makes sense. Her aura practically screamed dominatrix. Sakura extended her hand out. Koiyacou looked at it then turned away dismissively. 'Arrogant bitc-' Sakura tried to keep her composure, but this girls' attitude made it extremely difficult.

"Yea, nice to meet you, bubs." She said, dryly. Sakura raised her eyebrow.

"Bubs...?"

"Yea, your hair looks like bubble gum so that's the first thing that came to mind."

"Or, you could try Sakura...you know, my name?" The annoyance was clear in her voice.

"Nah, I like bubs better. Though I'm curious babe, does the carpet match the drapes?" Sakura's eyes widened, surprised. Naruto sighed, putting his face in his hands.

"Koiyacou-"

"Ahh, I know, don't be so blunt. Sorry. But look, I gotta go, see ya round kitten." She saluted Naruto then walked off.

"Well, isn't she just lovely?" Sakura asked, sarcastically. Naruto laughed.

"She's definitely...Koiyacou I guess. She grows on you." Naruto walked up next to her, falling into step.

'So, you guys...official or whatever?" She asked, curiously.

"Eh? Me and Koiyacou? Course not, she's just a friend." He threw his arm around her shoulder and smiled."Soooo. Where ya goin?"

"Home."

"Wanna hangout?"

"Nah, I gotta help my mom cook today. I promised her I would on my next off day." Naruto let out a whine and crossed his arms.

"Bahh! That sucks, I haven't seen you all day and now you're busy! We haven't hung out in foreeeverrrrrr!" Sakura rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Stop exaggerating, we hung out yesterday."

"I know! That was like forever ago!"

"Well you should've come to the hospital today like you usually do, I was free then."

"Uggh, I wish I could've but I had to do the stupid mission report. It was horrible, it was so complicated! Leave it to the ANBU to make everything difficult." He sighed and turned to look at her. "So what did you do today?"

"I hung out with Ino and talked about girl stuff, the usual." She sighed thinking back on their earlier conversation.

"Girl stuff? What, like kisses and rainbows and butterflies?" He joked, talking in a high pitched voice. Sakura laughed.

"No, idiot, we were talking about all of her latest flings. She makes me feel so lame"

"Hmm, why? It doesn't sound fun to go on dates all the time." Naruto huffed, looking confused.

"Eh, you wouldn't understand, it's a girl thing. Were all hopeless romantics and the idea of the perfect date is enough for us." They turned the corner onto Sakura's block. She could see all the kids running and playing around, enjoying the nice day. She smiled at the nostalgia.

"Mehh, girls think too much about that stuff. The right person will come one day, so there's no point in dating." Sakura frowned.

"That's stupid. You can't just sit around and expect the perfect person to just fall from the sky. You gotta put some effort into it."

Naruto sighed I guess. "Yea, I guess. But, I don't know, I think people should just stop trying so hard and let life happen, ya know?" Sakura laughed softly.

"You know, you sound just like Ino, she told me something like that." Naruto smiled, amused.

"Haha, really?"

"Yea, we were talking about kisses and stuff and she's pretty much said what you did." She laughed. This caught Naruto's interest.

"Kisses? Why were you guys talking about that?"

"Eh, what is this 21 questions? I just randomly brought up that my I haven't had my first kiss yet." She shouldn't have brought this up; it was awkward talking about this with him. She looked over at him. He appeared to be thinking.

"It's not the number of kisses, as much as it is the person." He concluded. Sakura sighed. Gee, him and Ino sounded so much alike it was scary

"Well yea, but first kisses are important. They are the ones that you remember." She smiled. "And you're being extremely insightful today, what happened to you?" Naruto closed his eyes and crossed his arms in mock wisdom

"I've become one with nature, my child. Walked through some leaves, pet some squirrels, hugged a tree, the usually stuff." Sakura smacked her teeth and laughed.

"Idiot." They stopped in front of her house. "Well, see you tomorrow? I don't have an off day but I have like a three hour break I think. Enough time for us to hang out, so yea."

"Perfect, see you then" He began to walk away. She turned to unlock her door. Oddly enough, she found herself looking forward to being with him the next day. All the more reason for her to hurry and get today over with. She didn't notice the silence-the lack footsteps that she should've heard walking away. Fighting with the key, she pushed into the lock and turned the knob.

"Hey Sak?" She looked up and turned around. Naruto was barely six inches away her. She flinched at the sudden close proximity. He wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her closer, their faces only centimeters apart. She felt the heat rush to her face. He stared into her eyes softly, focusing on something. His other hand brushed her hair out of her face and behind her ears. His scent, an earthy cologne smell, rushed over her. The warmth of his body heated her. She pressed a hand limply against his chest, not sure what she was trying to do. She was completely still on the outside, but internally, she was panicked.

'What the heck is going on! Soft look...tender touch...touches hair...Oh dear God, he's trying to kiss me! What do I do! When do I close my eyes! Should I even close my eye? What if I fail miserably and he tells everyone? That would be social suicide! Noone's gonna wanna date me and I'll become depressed and end up quitting as a shinobi! I'll get fat and end up getting hundreds of pets to cure my loneliness! I'm gonna die alone! At the ripe old age of 30!'

Naruto wore an amused smirk. He could see the inner turmoil in her eyes. He watched as her eyes widened comically.

"I think this is the part where you close your eyes" She could hear the laughter in his voice.

"Uhhh..." She felt so stupid. She didn't know what to say and was completely frozen. Naruto sighed and pressed his lips to hers. Her eyes closed automatically. His hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her impossibly close. His lips were soft as they explored her own. She began to kiss back, moving her lips against his. A bite to her bottom lip made her open her mouth out of reflex. She gasped as his tongue made its way into her mouth. He tasted sweet, much different than what she expected. He sucked her tongue, causing her to moan into the kiss. She tangled her hands in his soft hair as he pulled her even closer. Her mind was blank as she melted into him. It was overwhelming; he was devouring her. Slowly, he pulled away, placing small kisses on her lips and neck. Their foreheads were pressed together as they stood there; Sakura's eyes slowly opened. She stared into his deep blue eyes. He placed one last chaste kiss on her lips. They stood there for what felt like an eternity, absorbed in the overwhelming atmosphere. Naruto let go of her and stood back, running a hand through his hair.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." He said as he smiled, turned and walked away. Sakura stood, confused, dazed, and oddly content. She slowly brought her hands to her lips and stared after him.

'My first kiss...' She wanted it to be something memorable, and memorable it was. The feeling of his lips on hers lingered; the places where his hands touched tingled. It was indescribable.

"Baby, why are you still on the porch?" She flinched and turned, looking at her mother. Her mom walked up to her and put her hand on her forehead. "Do you have a fever? You're burning up and red honey. Come on inside." Sakura nodded and followed her mom inside.

She always imagined the day where she could run to Ino and gush about her first kiss-but she sure as hell couldn't tell Ino about this. This was too personal. Too perfect. There was no possible way to relay the details anyway; she hardly knew what happened herself. Sighing contently, she made her way into her house.

"Coming , mom!"
