WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEeee….

I No Own Naruto. Tant Pis.

Standing in front of the shop waiting, Sakura began to wonder if it had been a bad decision. Naruto had seemed so troubled that she had felt the urge to help. Well Sakura, it's too late for regrets. Look, here he comes.

"Oi, Sakura-chan! Were you waiting long?"

She shook her head. "Nope."

Slowing down, he wove around some little children still out. Sakura watched them run away, and out of sight. Cute.

"Ready, Naruto?"

"Let's go!"

C'mon Sakura. Like I've said, it's WAY too late for regrets.

The two of them walked along quietly, going no where in particular. Sakura idly brushed her skirt, trying to think of a way to start a conversation. Naruto was being unbelievably quiet as they wandered. Is something wrong with him….or is it me?

When Sakura was about to ask him, someone ran into her.

"S-sorry…" Sakura apologized. Another girl was opposite her, fallen on her rear as well. Giving her a hand, she helped her back onto her rollerblades. Dusting her jeans off, the redhead girl smiled and waved before skating off, turning a corner and out of sight.

"What an odd girl…" Naruto began.

"You're one to talk, Naruto."

Chuckling, he agreed.

Continuing on their way, it seemed easier to talk now, like that odd girl had helped ease things a bit. When they noticed they had walked around the same shops twice already, Sakura took Naruto somewhere else.

"Hey, Sakura-chan….Where are you taking me?"

She smiled warmly and cocked her head. "It's-A-Secret."

Groaning, the blonde followed her deep into the park. They left children and toys behind them as they strolled down an old forgotten path. Emerging from the many trees, the both of them came into brilliant afternoon sunshine.

"S-sakura-chan….it's….AMAZING!" He yelled spinning around with his arms wide.

"Isn't it?" She asked, "I found it long ago, back when I was small. After a while I forgot about it…..until now when I found it again." Sakura sighed. "This is Haven. This place, that's what I named it."

Naruto stopped spinning and simply fell down into the lush grass that grew everywhere. "Why?"

"Hmmm….?" Not paying attention, Sakura had missed something.

"Why? Why call it Haven?"

Stepping over to the small stream, Sakura sat on the edge of a particularly large rock. "Hummmm….I guess…..because here you can forget about your worries. Here material things don't matter as much. This place….This was my Haven when I was all alone. This is the place where dreams come to rest, and happiness thrives. Sorrow flees and everything….everything's alright." Tears came to Sakura's eyes, but she banished them. I will not cry. Not now.

"And Naruto…."

"Yeah?"

"I want to share this with you…." She smiled broadly. "I want all my friends to see this place."

Jumping down beside her, Naruto smiled too. Both friends sat side by side on the rock, smiling their little heads off in their Haven. Lucky us.

Sakura was about to move when suddenly the rock broke loose of it's bedding and crashed into the stream below. Both Sakura and Naruto were soaked to the bone by the chilling waters.

They glanced at each other…..and smiled.

CHA! Maybe not so lucky after all…eh?

Pressing the message button on her phone, Sakura listened to the missed calls as she heated the cat's dinner up. She had changed their diet accordingly as they had grown, a lot. The two of them couldn't fit in their bed anymore, but instead slept on Sakura's. Somehow between the two of them, they took up half the bed.

Sakura? It's Ino. I wanted to invite you to a birthday party I'm having tomorrow. I know it's really late and all….but I wanted to invite you and just haven't had the chance…..WHAT AM I SAYING! if you want….BILLBOARD BROW! Click

Whoa, Sakura thought, I seriously think she's Bipolar or something…. Sakura smiled and went upstairs. I'll have to wear something that's a cross between being formal and casual, since I don't know what kind of party it'll be…

As her thoughts raced around, she nearly burned the milk. Smooth, Sakura…smooth.

After feeding the cats and finishing up her homework, Sakura went outside for a little weeding before bed. Pulling gloves over her hands, Sakura dug at the pests with all her might. Haha! Die inferior beings! HAHA!

It took her a while to notice the sun had set on her and she couldn't tell the difference from plants and weeds. "Time to go in," she told herself quietly. Cleaning up the mess she had left behind, of pulled weeds and dirt clumps, she returned inside and locked up. Eating a small meal before going to sleep, Sakura felt extremely sleepy.

The instant her head touched the pillow she fell asleep.
