A/N: Woo! Chappie numbah two! And in case you're wondering, NO! Jiraiya is not dead, and will not die. He's too awesome. And I'm allowed to mess around with things like this, because the story, at least, is mine. Just not the characters. They're Kishimoto's.

A/N 2: Sorry for taking so long to update- I had a really good chapter almost finished, and then my laptop crapped out on me. I then became very depressed and took an extended vacation from writing. I started writing a new one, but then I found an older version of it so I'm taking my favorite parts from each and mushing them together into this. Enjoy.

"Hmmm…. They're better than we originally expected…" A strange man said.

"Yes, good thing we planned for this. Should I send in the real guards?" Questioned his partner.

"That would be a good idea, wouldn't it? OF COURSE YOU SHOULD

"So is anyone else concerned by the general lack of effort required to escape from people who were able to kidnap us so easily?" Sakura asked. "I mean, they were able to completely incapacitate us and take us to who knows where, and then they are taken down that easily? Something's definitely up." And within seconds, a group of ninja had surrounded them. "Who the hell are you?" Sakura asked.

"We are your end. Of course, the only one our employer is interested in is the Kyuubi, the rest of you mean nothing to us. So you could either leave and live, or stay and die. Kyuubi is the only one who needs to be alive."

"And what if we all want to leave? After all, Naruto doesn't have to do whatever you say just because he happens to have a demon stuck inside of him." Sakura hated it when people called Naruto the Kyuubi. One was a horrifying monster, the other one of the kindest and gentlest people she knew.

"I'd be careful if I were you; a petite little thing like you shouldn't be messing with ninja's like us- especially when outnumbered. You don't know who you're dealing with. Now how about you step away from the Kyuubi and we won't hurt you." And with that, Sakura snapped. She charged forward, and with just a few sharp jabs to the man who had been talking, he collapsed.

"No, you don't know who you're dealing with. You're dealing with two Sannin, one of which is the Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, and two of the students of the Kakashi and apprentices of the two Sannin. So why don't you leave us alone, okay?"

"Sweetie, just because you managed to take our boss down for a couple of minutes doesn't mean that you can scare us off. He's a cocky idiot who doesn't pay attention to pretty girls."

"Actually, your boss isn't down just for a couple of minutes- she's my student, and a damn good medic nin. So while I can't tell you what nerves she hit, I can guarantee he'll be out for hours. And that's if someone in your group is also a medic nin. So I'd take her advice now and run, if I were you." Tsunade said. The ninja looked at each other briefly, and then returned their gazes to the Konoha nin. The men wore expressions that clearly showed they knew they were screwed- but like any ninja with self-respect, were going to go down fighting. The ninja charged, but it didn't matter. Two ninja charged at Sakura, three at Naruto, two at Kakashi, and three each at Jiraiya and Tsunade. Naruto quickly dispatched his, with a rasengan to the gut for the first two to reach him, and a kick to the back of the neck for the last. Sakura simply severed the tendons for the legs and feet of the two she was fighting, unsure of if the others had the same idea as her to keep one or two around for questioning. Kakashi used a chidori to bust through both of his opponents at once, the smell of well-done entrails filling the air. Jiraiya had summoned a toad, and burned his opponents to a crisp. Tsunade, at least, thought to keep some alive as well, going about her attack in a similar manner.

"Alright, now who wants to tell me who this employer is of yours, the one who wants Naruto?" Sakura growled. No response. A swift kick to the groin for the man who had still doubted Sakura's abilities earlier was earned form their silence. "Now come on," she said, her face getting closer to the man's, "you don't even have to tell us his name- just where he is. I imagine it's somewhere nearby if you got here so fast, they would need to know quickly and then relay the order to you- so if you would kindly point us in the right direction…?" She trailed off, glaring into the man's eyes, until he pointed towards the far wall.

"They should be in a small hidden room over there- you can tell where it is because the wall is a shade darker there- it's a surveillance room, so by now they'll know you're coming. If you want to catch them, you'll need to hurry." With that, the party headed towards the hidden room; Tsunade stayed behind to get in one last word.

"You know, I might have invited you to join the Leaf, but you gave up that information too easily to ever be trusted. If a kick in the balls and a pretty face is all it takes to make you spill, you're not cut out for this kind of job." And with that, Tsunade was off. Upon the group's arrival, the door was busted down instantly. The two men inside were clearly not made for fighting. One man looked slightly overweight, and the other somewhat squirrely looking.

"What the hell do want with Naruto?" Sakura shouted, with a glare that could kill fixed on the two.

"Well, you horrifyingly strong monster, we want the Kyuubi for the same reason everyone else does. Power." The fat man rudely replied. He was swiftly (and somewhat brutally) killed by Sakura.

"How about you, Squirrely? Do you have anything you'd like to share?"

"No! I never really knew much! Only the basics! He knew how easily intimidated I was, so he didn't give me any significant information!"

The group left after taking care of the last man. Sakura decided to take advantage of this time to analyze her dream, and her actions earlier. Sure, she cared about Naruto and didn't want anyone to hurt Naruto, but she was really protective and irrational before. She just snapped and fucked that guy's shit up just for him stating a fact (a disgusting, chauvinistic fact, though)! And that dream… there weren't words to describe it…

Sakura and Naruto stumbled into the room, not bothering with the lights. They were too engrossed in their heated make-out session to be concerned with how well they could see things, even if that led to Naruto tipping over backwards over a coffee table- and then Naruto banging his head on the couch. But not even that could separate the two, and they continued the kiss as if nothing had happened. Naruto started slowly lifting off Sakura's dress, and they finally separated for air while it was taken off hastily by Sakura. She swiftly unbuttoned Naruto's shirt, as if she would die if it weren't removed…

"You know Sakura, it's our wedding night." Wait. She couldn't have heard that right. Neither one of them were in wedding attire… then again Sakura was barely in anything at this point, but- " No one's going to bust in here anytime soon. No need to rush." Blushing, Sakura looked away.

"I'm aware that in that essence it's not necessary. But you, in a tux, are one of the sexiest things I've ever seen- right after you naked." Naruto spluttered, obviously upset by a reference to something Sakura wasn't familiar with, "So for me, it's very necessary. Very," she slid the shirt off of him, "very," she glided her hands down his chest, "very necessary." Oh dear lord, why were her hands in his pants? These dreams are way too weird! Married? Pregnant? Sleeping with NARUTO? Why was her subconscious doing this to her?

It was at that point that Sakura had awoken (thankfully) but the damage was done. While escaping, her mind was filled with other, far more important thoughts. But now, they were just walking home, taking paths so familiar they could be navigated blind- no thought were there to act as a buffer from the strange dream, and the thoughts and emotions it provoked. And Sakura could no longer meet Naruto's eyes as he attempted to have a conversation, suddenly finding the sky incredibly interesting. She could barely get out occasional polite responses so Naruto knew she was still listening. If she looked this dazed and wasn't paying attention, Naruto would automatically jump to the (semi-accurate) conclusion that she was ill. And then he would invade her personal space, feeling her forehead and standing way too close bringing his head down to eye level so that he could see into her eyes to get a better idea of how she was feeling. And if he did that, she would pull a Hinata and faint. And that would just turn it into a cycle of discomfort.

Asking Ino to take a look at her mind when they got home (off the record of course, no one but the two of them needed to know that she was questioning her own sanity…) was on the top of Sakura's to do. And if everything came back normal, then she'd go from there. She just needed to know what was going on.

"Sakura? Sakura!" Naruto was calling her name.

"Huh, sorry Naruto, what?"

"I asked if you agreed that we should set up camp here and finish off the trip home in the morning. You know, get a nice dinner and a good rest for tonight instead of pushing ourselves."

"Oh. Yeah. Definitely. My stomach's been rumbling a bit, anyway." And so they found a good spot for camp and Naruto offered to go grab some fish to cook, so they wouldn't have to waste their provisions. Sakura started wandering off towards the stream. "I'm going to go down a bit and take a bath, you guys." But when Sakura got to the river, she saw something she certainly never planned on seeing while preparing to bathe in a river. A naked Naruto. DAMN! Oh, no- didn't I mention something about seeing Naruto naked in my dream? Could that have had anything to do with this? No. It couldn't. No way. I'm not dreaming the future. That would be a ridiculous assumption.

"Ah! Sakura! What are- here- now- why- what?" It was actually pretty adorable how flustered he got upon his realization that he was standing there in all his naked glory (and he certainly was quite glorious) in front of his childhood friend.

"I was going to take a bath! I thought you would be fishing closer to camp so I came down here! And why are you fishing naked?"

"So my clothes don't get all wet!"

"You know what, whatever. I'm gonna, uh, go up the river a bit closer to camp and take my bath there. I'll see you at dinner. Hopefully you'll have found some clothes by then." And with that, the red-faced Sakura sprinted off towards camp, leaving a very embarrassed Naruto behind. Perhaps next time he'd bring extra underwear to fish in.

Upon their arrival in Konoha once more, Sakura quickly detached from the group (since the Hokage was on the mission, it would be silly for them to have to hand in a mission report. Tsunade would write up something outlining the events of the mission and that would be enough) and headed straight to Ino's knowing she should have today off from the flower shop. Ino checked her out, and apparently she was perfectly fine. A bit overworked, but fine.

A/N: Yay! I finally finished it! Now the good news is that I have chapters 3 and 4 already written. I actually wrote them before I finished this. So those should be up within the next week, I want to go through and make sure they're good to go.
