One and Only

Narusaku

Chapter 6

Sakura walked through the village in silence people stared. Everyone knew she joined, and know was the leader of Akatsuki. She walked in her apartment building and saw the word "Akatsuki bitch" painted on her door. She just sighed. She opened the door, her room was crashed, her Akatsuki cloak was burned, Papers her sprawled all over the room. She saw broken glass on the floor. It was the picture of her and Naruto at the beach, the frame was broken and picture of her and Naruto was ripped.

Sakura felt the tears come to her eyes. Being in this village definitely brought back the old sakura. She just sat down on the bed and looked and the ripped picture. She gently fitted it back together, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She looked at the picture and cried. Sakura laid down facing the window, she didn't want to look at the rest of the room.

Naruto stood in the doorway and watched sakura cry, he couldn't believe it she never showed any emotion expect anger, hate, and despise. She was very confident, know she looked broke. He was what picture she was holding and crying over, he smiled to himself. 'She still there' Naruto thought. Sakura was facing the window, Naruto slowly walked over to her, he laid on the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in close. Sakura automatically stiffened then gave in, she curled up her legs and continued to sob. Naruto stroked her hair and started to cry too.

Sakura turned to face him, the whites of her eyes were pink, and her eyes were an even brighter emerald green. 'She looks beautiful,' Naruto cupped her cheek and brushed away all the tears that were on her face. Sakura closed her eyes and purred quietly, Naruto smiled and placed his forehead on her's.

"why are you here Naruto," sakura asked looking through her lashes.

"I wanted to see you, im sorry for what they wrote on your door, and what they did to your room," Naruto whispered bush a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"You think I care about any of that, they messed with the only valuable possession I have," she said looking down of the picture of her and Naruto.

"Here, have this one," he said reaching into his jacket. He pulled out the exact same picture just a little smaller.

Sakura stared at him in shock 'he kept of picture of us by his heart' sakura thought. Her eyes started watering again. "Don't worry sakura-chan I have another one at home in a frame."

"Why'd you keep one with you then," sakura asked taking the picture. She stared at it then looked at him. He was clearly blushing.

"When you.. Left I miss you so much. But having a picture of you, made me think you were still here in some way. And every time I started missing you I'd look at your picture, and remember how much I… well yeah I really missed you," he stumbled. He looked at her eyes she looked sad.

"Really I thought you wouldn't care," she mumbled.

Naruto gritted her teeth then took a deep breath, "Of course I cared, you mean everything to me. I was so lost without you, I didn't mean anything I said I was just sticking up for-…"

"Hinata, I know you love her Naruto. I saw they way you looked at each other," Sakura couldn't help it and started crying.

Naruto wiped her tears with his thumb. "sakura I don't love her. I never did. And I couldn't stand it when she hung on me or held my hand. The only reason you saw me stare like that was because I was looking at you. I tried to move on but I couldn't."

"I didn't want you to move on… I wanted you to love and be with me," sakura whimpered pulling away. Naruto sighed disappointed and missing her warmth. Sakura got up and walked to the bathroom. Naruto watched as she came back with a wet towel. She walked over to the door and opened it.

Naruto watched as she slowly started wiping, her eyes started prickling up with tears again. She couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She punched the door. Her arm went through the door and wall. She yanked her hand back, the rigid wood and cement slicing her arm. She let her arm hang as the blood dripped off the floor. She looked down and she felt Naruto wrap his arms around her waist and rest his chin on the top of her head.

"I need to go," sakura said taking a step out the door. The arms around her waist wouldn't let her go. "I'm not leaving the village don't worry. You wont have to run all the was to Tsunade's to inform her."

"That's not why, I wont let you leave again because I cant be without you. Not because of this village, or Tsunade. I could care less," Naruto turned sakura around and lifted up her chin.

"What about all the things I've done. I destroyed to villages, responsible for the thrid, acted like I was dead, betrayed you and the village, attacked Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro, and killed Neji. Im a complete monster, it doesn't bother me but I know it bothers you. I'll never be the old Sakura again, I don't want to be. Im strong, a killer, and I wouldn't change that. Im proud of how strong I am," she said pulling away. "I'll never be the old Sakura-chan you were in love with. Any chances of there ever being an us I ruined 5 years ago."

"Sakura-chan your not a monster, and I have no right to judge. I am an Jinjuruki, a demon. I'm not innocent either. The old sakura-chan might not be her completely, but the parts I loved are still there. And I'm starting to realize some new things I love to. Like your cockiness and confidence. You presence and how strong you are. How about he go to the training grounds we can spar and I can find some more things," Naruto said smiling. Sakura blushed and made a few hand signs, there was a poof of smoke and then she was gone. "Also you new body is very attractive, and sexy," he smiled, before teleporting himself to the training field.

Tsunade's office

Tsunade sighed, she was tired from the loss of her chakra. 'sakura is definitely someone to be feared. But I saw when Naruto pinned her down, she was going to kiss him I saw it. She also was hurt when they talked about Hinata. Some of the old sakura still their. The sakura that loves Naruto,' Tsunade thought. She sighed and poured another glass of sake. It was a long day.

flashback

Tsunade, Kakashi and Kiba all hauled the bodies of ANBU and the rest to the hospital. Kiba then collapsed once he was at the hospital. Naruto was no help he ran after sakura a couple of minutes after she left. Everyone was doing good, stable. Hinata was by far the worse. Broken back, rib punctured the lung, broken nose and dislocated shoulder. Not to mention the internal bleeding in her head. 'sakura didn't kill her, but she wanted to,' Tsunade thought.

Tsunade finished at the hospital and went back to her office. Kakashi was waiting there. "You saw what she was capable today. And she didn't even try, and one of Naruto's strongest attacks didn't affect her one bit. Granted it wasn't full power but still," Tsunade said walking to her desk.

"yeah she amazing. She definitely accomplished her goal," Kakashi said sitting back.

"hmm.. I've been thinking, about the war sakura was talking about. I checked into it and its true. Their started council meetings. What do you think," Tsunade asked Kakashi .

"WHAT? Are you saying join in the war against her," Kakashi asked in total shock.

"I don't know really. I mean you saw her kill Neji. I missed it but im sure it was with complete ease. I also know she destroyed two villages, what if she tries to destroy us. Im am just asking if you were in my position what would you do," Tsunade sighed.

"Hell no. I would support her, she may have destroyed the other villages but she had friends here, she wouldn't want to hurt them."

"Just like she didn't hurt, Neji, Tenten, Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, Hinata-."

"You know it was complicated between those three. And the only reason she completely hasn't gone is because of Naruto. Naruto's the reason she still cares, the reason she feels at all. He's the only reason she stayed, and hasn't destroyed the village yet. And you know it to. She loves him, and he loves her. They just need to find their way back to each other."

End flashback

'I really hope he's right,' Tsunade thought downing another glass.

Training fields

Both sakura and Naruto were breathing hard. Sakura had only been going a little less then half, and Naruto was giving about three quarters of his, with the fox's chakra. It was funny to think she began so much stronger then him, but she knew if the fox completely took over they would be evenly matched. She looked at him his shirt was off and the top of this boxer showed above is black pants. His shaggy hair blew in the wind. His blue eyes were like a endless ocean, 'he looks good'. Sakura licked her bottom lip and walked over to the river.

Naruto looked at sakura her she was in a tight white tank, he could see the black lacy bra underneath. She had on tight black pant that made her butt pop out more. Naruto licked his lips, and took a deep breath trying to calm himself. 'She looks sexy' he watched as sakura walked over to the river. She let her long hair out of the ponytail it was in, it blew in the wind. She bent down and cupped her hands she went to scoop up some water. Naruto was behind her picked her up and threw her in.

Sakura gasped when she popped up, "His is freezing you jerk-off!"

"come on sakura-chan it cant be that bad…" Naruto jumped in. he shot up. "it's fucking freezing."

Sakura giggled, a real giggle. Not the fake evil one. Naruto smiled at her and the dived under. "come on Naruto its getting dark and I cant see. Okay im leaving then," she waded off to the riverbed when Naruto wrapped her waist and pulled them both back in the freezing water. They both popped up at the same time. They were both laughing a strain off hair fell in front of her face she tried blowing it back but it ended up in her face again. She and Naruto laughed even harder, she really didn't want to take her hand off his muscular shoulders. She was about to move her hand, but Naruto brushed the hair back for her. "Thanks." she giggled. "I better get home and out of these clothes before I get sick," she breathed.

"Yeah, I'll walk you home," Naruto said getting out of the water. They walked through Konoha holding hands. They were in front of here apartment building when sakura called out, "Itachi come out."

"What are you doing with the Jinjuruki brat," Itachi asked raising his eyebrow.

"None of your business," she said calmly. 'I get it she doesn't want them to be seen with me.' Naruto looked down at their hands he went to pull away, but Sakura intertwined their fingers. He looked at her confused, and she smiled gently.

"Well, would you mind if I had some fun," Itachi smirked.

Naruto went to step up but sakura stepped in front of him. Itachi looked at her angry, Itachi activated his sharigan and stared at her. She dropped to her knees gasping. Her eyes turned black he looked at Itachi. She disappeared and then appeared in front of Itachi, she grabbed this throat and slammed him against the ground. The ground cracked and he gasped. "Did two days away from me make you forget whose better, who've reached your limits, and I still haven't. It intimidates you. Never try that again."

She pushed his neck one last time, her eyes were still black. Naruto step towards then. Sakura stood up, Naruto grabbed her hand and her eyes turned back to normal. Itachi stood by "Is this you treat me, the one that trained you, made you strong. Got you away from Naruto, don't you remember you wanted revenge. How many nights did you cry in your sleep. But no some as you're here you get weak."

Sakura slowly pulled away her hand, Naruto's heart sunk. He wanted to kill Itachi, he looked over at sakura, her eyes had no emotion in then, just like when she first came back.

"Why are you here," she said dangerously.

"The war his exactly three years from today. Pein wanted me to tell you, me and Kisame joined his side. Your one you own, sorry," he disappeared.

"coward," sakura hissed. She walked into the apartment building and went inside. Naruto sighed and started walking home. 'Itachi just set us back, to get to where we were will take us months. I just caught her while she was crying over a picture of us, when her walls were down. And she's already put them back up. 'Damn Itachi' thought Naruto.

Naruto walked into his fully furnished apartment. She walked past his kitchen to his bathroom he took off his went clothes and jumped in the shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist and dried this hair with a towel, making it a mess. He heard a knock at the door. We walked over, and swung it open. "What.. Oh hey sakura.," sounding slightly mad, and irritated.

There was no chan 'what the hell' thought Sakura. "sorry. Bye," sakura said feeling like she read something wrong.

"wait you need something," Naruto asked grabbing her hand.

"never mind, I got my answer," she said turning.

"what answer," Naruto asked confused, turning her to face him.

"I get it, its no problem really, I well never mind ill be going. Sorry to bother you," sakura sighed.

"You know what im getting sick of these games sakura," Naruto grumbled.

"Sorry again."

"seriously why'd you come?"

"well you left…" sakura started.

"Huh? You didn't want me to leave," Naruto said finally hopeful.

"Well no. I walked in side and you weren't in my apartment and you weren't outside so I came here. Sorry to have bothered you," sakura sighed.

"Is there something wrong," he asked concerned.

"well it just that your not… calling me umm Sakura-chan is all," sakura couldn't help but blush and be embarrassed.

"well when Itachi said being in the village changed you back you let go of my hand… and I thought you wanted me to leave.. And I thought we'd have to start all over again.. And well I read it wrong," Naruto looked ashamed. Then gave her a sexy smile, "You like it when I call you Sakura-chan?"

"well yeah and well I love it," she was blushing.

"Sakura-chan whats with all the bags," Naruto groaned. She had a bag full of clothes, and another full of medicines and weapons, and on top of it was the picture of them in a new frame.

"Oh I was heading to a hotel. My apartments pretty trashed," she laughed. Rubbing the back of her neck.

"Why don't you just stay here," Naruto said getting excited, this is what he always wanted.

"Are you sure," sakura asked. Naruto smiled and nodded this head. "Okay, thanks." Sakura followed Naruto into his house. 'nice' sakura noted. It was clean, and of course the furniture was orange. She shook her head and giggled to herself.

He walked into hid room. "You can put you stuff in these drawers," sakura nodded. Naruto walked over to his drawers. "I gotta get dressed.. Gime a minute,"

"Wait," sakura called out he walked over to where Naruto was, Naruto stood there confused. Sakura ran her hand up his chest. Naruto blushed, and stiffened. Sakura leaned closer pressing their chests together. Sakura put her hand on the back of Naruto's head and kissed the side of this neck. Naruto purred. "You sound like a fox," sakura grinned.

"S-Sakura-chan.." Naruto moaned

Sakura kissed his neck once more, then stepped back. "Thanks Naruto-kun," sakura grinned walking back over to the drawers.
