Chapter 3

Sakura's plan put into action / Letters from Friends

Naruto woke up around five and even though he hated to admitt it, he now realized and understood why he couldn't go to school anymore. If everyday was going to be like it was, then there was no way he'd even stay awake. Naruto yawned and shivered.

"Are you cold?" Naruto looked up at see Minato. Naruto nodded, looking outside his window to see it was snowing for the first time this year.

"Snow?" He questioned.

"Yeah," Minato nodded, putting another warm blanket over Naruto, then adjusting the heat regester to face upwards. "It's going to snow about two maybe three inches tonight. Either way you look at it, It's going to get cold, so my little Naru needs to stay warm." He started to lightly tickle Naruto's sides, making the blonde laugh.

"Daddy, stop" Naruto giggled. Minato brushed back Naruto's bangs and smiled, then he frowned curiosuly when he went to release his hand, a ton of strands of hair came falling down. Naruto gasped and turned around, on his pillow were lots of hairs too. His hair was thinning and falling loose. Naruto started to wimper, sure it was just hair, but he didn't want to go bald.

"Oh...Naruto." What else could a father say? He held on to Naruto in a big hug. He brought Naruto downstairs where Jiriaya was waiting for him. Karin and Kyuubi were helping Kushina in the kitchen with dinner while Naruto was to do "school work".

"Hey, Kid" Jiriaya smiled. "feel a bit better?"

Naruto shook his head.

Jiriaya gave Minato a questioning look. Minato sighed.

"Naruto's hair has started to fall out." Minato replied softly, gently setting Naruto down on one of the floor pillows to read the books Jiriaya set out. Jiriaya gave a sympathetic look, nodding.

"Don't worry, kid. When you go bald, I'll shave my hair. I promise" Jiriaya grinned, making Naruto give off a small smile.

Minato sat next to Naruto and the trio began reading out of the history book on where there was a war over land and that Kohona City was founded a few hundred years later. Naruto tried to listen as best as he could, but he fell asleep. He thought that when he was woken by his father that he was going to get yelled at, but insted Jiriaya laughed.

"Dont' worry kid, I was about to fall asleep myself, maybe I should read and not your boring dad-OW!" the pervert was recieved the book thrown at his head by the yellow-flash Mayor of Kohona City.

"Supper's ready!" Kushina called. "Oh! Hello, Naruto, I made you somthing special for dinner." She smiled.

"Well, we know who plays favriotes in this house" Jiriaya muttered, making Minato and Naruto laugh. Everyone was gathered at the dining room table. Karin started setting glasses while Kushina brought out the food.

"Now that Naruto's on a diet, everyone's on a diet." Kushina claimed.

"cept' me" Karin whispered, giggling even though Kyuubi smacked her upside the head.

"To make Naruto not left out, we're eating more vegtables and fruits at dinner. We will have little rice than we used to have-which I know is strange and nearly impossible-but it should be healthier" Kushina claimed. "Dig in"

After Dinner, Naruto tried his best at doing the dishes with his mother but he kept yawning and he looked tied.

"Still tired, baby?" Kushina asked. Naruto nodded, he was still tired. He felt as if he wasted a whole day, doing nothing but sleeping. Kushina beamed.

"Before you go to bed, I have somthing for you" She smiled, walking to the fridge where a red paper bag was sitting. She handed the bag to Naruto and inside was a special tooth brush and floss. Naruto raised his eyebrows. Why would his mother give him a new tooth brush and floss. Naruto looked closer at the toothbrush, it wasn't anything like his old one he had. Sure it was orange and blue but the bristles were different.

"It's a special tooth brush because when you brush and floss your gums will bleed more frequently" Kushina explained. "The tooth brush is softer on you"

"Thank you" Naruto smiled, yawning. Kushina brought Naruto to bed, helping him with his flossing when Naruto saw blood and nearly got teary over it. After the blonde boy was in bed, tucked away, Kushina brought in the little heater and turned it on full blast so Naruto's room would be the warmest in the house.

"Sweet dreams," She whispered as she kissed his forehead.

"Kushina, are we doing the right thing?" Minato asked as he joined his wife in bed. Kushina looked up from the packet of papers Tsunade had given her, she was reading all about cancer patients and how they were more prone to illnesses and disseases than a normal healthy person.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I mean, pulling Naruto out of school" Minato said. "Don't you think that was a bit too much?"

Kushina sighed. "Minato, I didn't want to do it either. But you know how he was today. And Tsunade said this was supposingly a "new normal day". He'd be tired all the time, lack of energy or motovation for anything, and you know how long he needs to be at the hospital, no way would he be able to make up classes." She said. Placing the paper down and rubbing her temples on the sides of her head.

"I'm so stressed out..." She muttered.

Minato sadly smiled, rubbing his hands in some body lotion they kept beside their bed ((A/N: What?! Kushina and Minato are like, 30 maybe 31, they can still do it!)) He made his way to his wife's neck and began massaging her back and shoulders.

"Feel nice?" He asked.

"Much better, thank you." She smirked, then frowned. While Minato nipped at her body and his hands roamed her back, shoulders and breasts she couldn't help but feel terrible.

"What's wrong my love?" Minato asked.

"It's stupid." Kushina pouted.

"Nothing you say is stupid." He smirked.

"I just feel bad." She sighed.

"About what?"

"...Not giving Naruto a baby brother os sister."

"...We can try." Minato smirked after a few mintues of silence.

"No."

"Why not?"

"I have bigger things to worry about than not have a baby." Kushina pushed Minato's hands away and fell deep into the covers. Minato sighed. Kushina loved children, sure when she was pregnant she had her mood swings and pains like any other pregnant soon-to-be mother would have, but Minato noticed she was different from pregnant women. She always talked about her children in such a loving manner that it would make Minato want to cry. After Naruto turned to be about five, Kushina wanted another child. Tsunade informed the couple that Kushina was unable to bear children since after her last C-section was an emergancy that it damaged something in her uterus so she was unable to bear anymore children. Kushina and Minato were heartbroken, Kyuubi was upset for not having another sibling to play with and Naruto was clueless as to why his family was crying.

"You're still a fantastic mother" Minato whispered into his wife's ear.

"mmhn dhummm ahhmmgmmnmm" She muttered.

"Excuse me?" Minato smiled.

"I'm not a good mother, I can't even protect my own child from cancer." She sobbed.

Minato ran a few fingers threw her soft red hair he adored so much. He loved his wife's heart more than her hair though.

"Kushina...I'm sure that if this could have been prevented you would have gone the whole nine-yards and then some to keep Naruto from this." Minato said. "But, Cancer is somthing that no one can control. We just have to keep on loving Naruto, prove that we'll be there for him, keep encouraging him and pick him up when he falls, and continue to be by his side. That's all we can do now..."

Kushina nodded, smiling. "That was such a girly thing to say" She teased and threw a pillow at her husband.

"OMG, you're so right, my identy is found out," Minato spoke in a girly voice. "I'm actually a chick and I have a husband far far away."

His hyper voice made Kushina laugh hysterically. She really began to burst when Minato attacked her, tickling at her sides.

"When I'm not out flaunting my butt and boobs, I'm shopping for hot pink shoes and mini-skirts" Minato continued in his high-pitched voice.

"Minato-stop!" Kushina begged.

"And I buy tampons at the dollar stor becuase my days as being a street corner whore are almost over" Minato nearly laughed himself.

"S-stop! I'm gonna' pee!" Kushian begged.

DING-DONG-DING-DONG-DING-DONG!

"Who could that be?" Minato asked, as he stopped and left to answer the door. When he did he was surprised to see a pink haired girl about Naruto's age.

"Hello, I'm Sakura, I'm in-or was in Naruto's class" She smiled.

"Oh, Hello, may I help you?" Minato asked.

"Yes, I have a letter here for him, may I give it to him?" She asked, despratly wanting her Sasuke and soon. Minato shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but he's asleep. The medication is-"

"Yeah, yeah, please just give this to him." She roughy handed him the letter. Then giving him a smile and a wave good-bye she traunted threw the snow in her light-pink boots. Minato was dumbfounded. He couldn't tell if this girl was bad-news...or another Kushina. He smirked recalling the memory in his mind of how Kushina gave him her first Valentine and how she pratically shoved it in his face. Curious as to why Sakura would come all this way for Naruto he opened the letter and a mob of glitter glue came out and landed on his foot, now making his white feet a sparkly purple and blue. He groaned and read the letter.

Dearest Naruto,

Not a day has gone by that I miss you in school. I'm constantly worried about your health and I wonder if you're getting enough of anything. I wish it was me who would feed you and keep you warm. I miss you so, so, so much. and if it wouldn't be a hassle, could you go out with me? I've loved you for a long time and I want to take this relationship from friends-to-lovers.

XOXO,

Sakura.

P.s. Get well, snuggle bunny 3

Minato's eyes widened. His son already had a lover? He covered his blushy grin and ran up the steps.

"Kushina! You've gotta' read this!" He smiled.

Naruto moaned in pain as he streched out his sore limbs. His head hurt and his body ached. It was too warm under the covers and his sheets were wet-wait, his sheets were wet? He felt so embaressed, he thought he went to the bathroom before he went to bed! Was this somthing you went threw when you had cancer? He was so confused.

"Naruto, good-morning" Naruto turned to see Kyuubi, he pulled the sheets and covers up, griming at the wet seeping into his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Kyuubi asked.

Naruto felt too embaressed to say. "I can't say..."

"It's okay, you can tell me, Naruto." Kyuubi said, entering the room. Naruto sighed and pulled the covers off, Kyuubi's eyes widened, had Naruto wet the bed? He couldn't have, Naruto hasn't wet the bed since he was three-oh!

"Naruto. I don't think that's urine" Kyuubi smiled softly.

"It's...not?" Naruto asked.

Kyuubi sighed. "Want dad?"

Naruto nodded. "I want Daddy, Kyuubi" Kyuubi nodded, calling for his father. Minato entered the room and his eyes widened.

"Ooh." He quietly said. "What have we here, Naruto growing up?" He smiled.

Naruto blushed. Now he was really confused. Minato handed Naruto's wet sheets and blankets to Kyuubi to throw into the wash while Minato helped Naruto into some dry clothes (after he had a shower of course) and he thanked God he took the day off to be by his son's side at the hospital, because it was going to be a long day. Kyuubi stood in the hallway, giggling as Minato gave Naruto a long...talk. It was mostly about how his bod would start to change and he was becoming a man.

Naruto groaned, could anything worse happen today? he wondered.

Kyuubi snickered, Naruto frowned.

"Somthing funny, Kyuubi?" Naruto growled.

"Oh, yes. I'd say this was perfect timing, considering the ltter that came for you yesterday" Kyuubi smirked handing Naruto the letter from Sakura he had picked off the table and left giggling. Minato smiled, patting his son's back.

"If you have any questions, you can talk to me, Naruto" Minato smiled.

"Kay'" Naruto said quietly, wishing Minato would leave so he could read the letter. Minato left the room, giggling as he remembered the mushy letter. Naruto read the letter word for word. He blushed and smiled, Sakura liked him, she really liked him. He felt so giddy, he really thought Sakura was a total babe as well. Under her name looked to be her phone number and in small handwriting quoted: "call me around six tomorrow" That was today! Naruto couldn't wait until six. He wanted to establish his relationship permanently.

"Hee, hee. Snuggle Bunny" He smiled. "I guess that could be my pet name, but I need one for her!" He frantically thought of some names and he boiled it down to either Princess or Boo-bear. He liked Princess more than Boo-bear, so he went with Princess. He smiled softly, he had no idea Sakura liked him so much, he always thought she liked Sasuke with her always staring at him and talking about him, she pratically had heart eyes for him.

Naruto assumed he was wrong and that she only had a crush on him but realized she liked him, that or, she had used Sasuke as a jelious target for Naruto.

"Sakura..." He smiled. Not to mention, Sakura didn't mind that Naruto had cancer.

"She accepts me, for me" He smiled. That, in his mind, made Sakura a beautiful girl.

"Iruka?" Kakashi looked up to see Iruka, carrying what seemed to be a very large yellow envelope. Iruka smiled at his old friend.

"Hello, Kakashi, any more kids come in today about Naruto?" Iruka asked, latley Kakashi, being the school counselur has had a flood of children who were friends of Naruto come into his office to disscuss matters of Naruto fighting Cancer and how they're dealing with it. His most visited viewer: Sasuke Uchiha.

Kakashi nodded. "Only one though, His name begins with an 'S' and ends in 'asuke'." Kakashi smirked.

"Yes. I can tell Sasuke misses Naruto a lot. They're best friends after all" Iruka expalined. "Do you still have Naruto's address?" He asked.

"What for?" Kakashi questioned, curious as to what was in the envelope.

"Well, I've got this idea that each friday the class will make get-well cards for Naruto. I'm guessing Sasuke made four or five" Iruka laughed.

"Oh, that's kind." Kakashi took out a sharpie and began writing Naruto's address ad postal number. Kakashi before sealing it, placed his card inside too.

"Do the parents know about this?" He asked.

"Nope, it's a secret. Everyone and myself are just wanting to give the family hope and let them know that we're with Naruto" Iruka smiled.

"That's good...the family needs it...hope that is, especially Naruto."

* . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. *

"Ow, ow, ow, OW!" Naruto cried as the last needle went into his bode, he started to squeeze all the strength he had in his mother's firm hand grip. When the Bone therapy was over, Naruto was to wait ten minutes for the healing and lay perfectly still.

"I don't like these." He sniffed, tears falling from his eyes.

"I know, baby. But how about we buy you a nice new video game after this?" Kushina offered. Naruto closed his eyes, not really wanting to do anything at the moment. After fifteen minutes of so, Naruto was bandaged up and taken to a hospital room where he was given strong sleeping pills and told to sleep for a while, when he would wake he would eat lunch, go home to Jiriaya and study, then call Sakura. He smiled, that last part sounded like somthing worth fighting for.

Kushina bit her lip as she tried to get the tangles out of her son's hair. More and more bunches of hair came out on the brush than staying on Naruto's head. His hair was thinning and pretty soon a bald spot was forming. Naruto felt self concious about his hair loss. He felt so uncomfortable with loosing his hair. Tsunade informed that this was another procedure that would happen with Cancer, along with pale sick-looking sick, aching feet and legs, lastly: weight loss. (Naruto had been good and stuck with his diet, but Kyuubi always managed to sneak him a chocolate bar or some sugar-mints.) Kushina was worried about how Naruto would handle that. She knew how self-concious Naruto was, even though he acted like he was tough, really deep down he was sweet and kind and very shy.

Naruto couldn't help but think about Sakura all day, he even had a dream about her in the hospital. It was an innocent dream, just about him saving her from a castle and a dragon.

Imagine how mad he was when his dad woke him from that dream.

"Naruto, wake up." Minato smiled.

"Daddy..." Naruto warned, apparently pissed from being woken up. Minato only blushed, trying to not think about what his son might be dreaming of, he set a heavy envelope on Naruto's hospital bed.

"It's from you class from school." Minato smiled.

"School?" Naruto wondered as he opened the envelope and dozens of cards came piling out on to his bed, Naruto carefully read each one from his friends and teachers. He smiled as he felt tears come to his eyes as he read each letter, a few Minato read out-loud to Naruto and some Naruto found himself crying on. He felt so loved and cared for; Maybe having Cancer wont be so bad, he thought. As long as I have my friends, my family...and a girlfriend, nothing can go wrong.

Naruto was brought home to another surprise, Sasuke Uchiha, was his surprise's name. Naruto beamed and allowed to be swallowed up in a huge hug. Sasuke had permission to spend the night as long as he made it to school on time the next morning and his homework was finished.

"Did you get the letters?" Sasuke asked as they both sat at the living room floor table on pillow cushins waiting for Jiriaya to bring out textbooks for Naruto.

Naruto nodded. "Yes. Thank you so much! That really helped me today-oh guess what?!"

"What?" Sasuke smiled.

"Sakura asked me out in her letter!" Naruto blushed. "I can't believe she did that! I'm so happy." Sasuke raised his eyebrow, he noticed Sakura doing her letter it wasn't colorful or happy at all, infact it was grey and blank. He felt happy that Naruto was dating Sakura, since he liked her but Sasuke couldn't help but think that maybe Sakura was using him for some reason, he'd keep an eye on her, after all Naruto is his best friend.

"Alright, Naruto" Jiriaya spoke. "Do you feel energized enough to read?"

Naruto nodded and read a few pages of History. After his History, Naruto began Algebra, of course with Sasuke's help he understood it clearly. Jiriaya was impressed with Naruto and how well he coaped and went along with the work, he thought the kid wouldn't understand half of what he taught (which was slightly true). After three hours of his lessons, Jiriaya figured that was enough and let Naruto loose for the night. The two boys escaped the adults by going to Naruto's room where Sasuke told him all that happened while Naruto was gone.

"Nothing really, accept Kiba decided to make a move in Hinata and Neji pounded him." Naruto laughed at the thought of Kiba's head being smashed into the ground by Neji. "Oh and Iruka-Sensei talked to us about the science fair were going to have."

"Sounds boring" Naruto complained.

"I guess so, but we can pick what we want to test and prove." Sasuke spointed out.

"I'd so do what makes a hot chick even hotter by standing by a car!" Naruto's eyes grew wide with anticipation, and slight determination. Sasuke rolled his eyes, not wanting to think what Naruto was thinking.

"So, what have you been doing all this week?" Sasuke asked.

"I've been given exams" Naruto said quietly, then he explained what a Bone aspiration was and how it felt.

"I felt like someone was breaking my bones, it hurt that bad. I even cried." Naruto said. "I wouldn't want anyone to go threw that."

Sasuke nodded. "I'm sorry you have to go threw this, Naruto." Sasuke himself felt guilty, he figured that if he was a better friend to Naruto, then none of this would of happened. Naruto sighed.

"It's not your fault Sasuke!" Naruto sighed. He hated how everyone blamed themselves for somthing that happened to him! His Dad blamed his work schedule and his Mom blamed herself for not being careful in her pregnancy, Even Kyuubi blamed himself for not being there for Naruto. Naruto slightly punched Sasuke in the shoulder, smiling.

"Don't blame yourself...Teme!" Naruto laughed.

"Oh, so that's how it is,...Dobe!" Sasuke smirked throwing a pillow at Naruto's face, Naruto gasped and went to throw a pillow at Sasuke but Sasuke jumped out just in time but Naruto accidently slid on one of their Pokemon gameing cards and fell on the wood flooring.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?!" sasuke freaked out. "Do I need to get your mom-"

"IT'S OKAY! I'M FINE!" Naruto screamed.

"But, Naruto-"

"I'M FINE, SASUKE!"

"But you could be hurt-"

"HAVEN'T YOU EVER FALLED BEFORE?!"

Sasuke bit his lip. He had fallen lots of times, but he felt bad because Naruto had cancer and-Wait, am I treating him differently? No wonder he hates being sick, because everyone treats him differently or blames themselves, and look what I'm doing...

"I'm sorry, Naruto..." Sasuke said to Naruto's turned back. "I just...You're my best friend, I don't want you hurt."

Naruto turned and sighed. "It's my fault for yelling at you, Sasuke, it' okay. I have to get used to that I guess." Sasuke gave his famous smirk but it died when he noticed somthing.

"Naruto, there's somthing different about you..."He pointed out.

"Different? oh, this?" Naruto took off his night-cap and Sasuke gasped, Naruto had little to almost no hair on his head. Sasuke had never seen someone bald (inperson) but he felt awful for pointing it out.

"Don't worry" Naruto smiled. "My Kaa-san says even though my hair is falling out it's not the least of my problems." Naruto spoke sadly. "She says I can have a wig from Locks of Love* later on in the month." Naruto said. Sasuke felt his hear, wondering if it would be long enough for Naruto to have. Both boys ignored the topic of Cancer and went back to their Yu-Gi-Oh decks and started their battles when the phone rang and Kyuubi hollered up the strairs:

"Hey, Naruto telephone!" Kyuubi hollered. "It's your girlfriend."

"Kyuubi!" Naruto raced downstairs.

"Hey, Naruto telephone! It's your girlfriend."

"Kyuubi!"

Sakura raised her eyebrows as she heard a thumping and then more screaming and it sounded as if someone was laughing.

"Hello?" Naruto asked.

"Hey, Naruto. It's me, Sakura." Sakura smiled.

"Sakura! H-hi, how are you?" He sounded happy, in Sakura's mind and excited.

"Oh, I'm fine, I haven't been doing much, how about you?" She was laying on her large pink bed, rolling on her stomach while various fashion magazines sprawled out everywhere and make up one her dresser along with a school pic of Sasuke with a heart circled around it. she smiled and kissed the picture of Sasuke.

"Oh, I've been doing okay I have had to get a few exams a bone-" She rolled her eyes and tossed the phone on the bed and continued to marvle the picture of Sasuke she couldn't wait till Naruto "died" and she could have him all to herself. She decided to pull out her mother's wedding magazienes and take a look at the shoes she'd want to wear at her and Sasuke's wedding.

"Hello? Sakura?" She was startled, nearly forgetting she was on the phone with Naruto.

"Oops, sorry Naruto, I dropped the phone and couldn't find it." She nervously giggled.

"You're laugh it cute~" Naruto commented, Sakura stuck her tounge out in disgust she couldn't believe Naruto would say such a musy thing to her. But then again he thought that he and Sakura were dating. Sakura and Naruto talked about school (well, Naruto did, Sakura only half-assed the conversation) and Naruto mentioned if Sakura had sunday off, which she did and he coughed up the courage to ask her to a movie. She agreeded, hoping Sasuke would be there.

* . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. * . *. *. *

"So, Sunday?" Naruto smiled.

"Yup, Suday works for me" Sakura chimed.

"Okay, you can pick the movie-"

"Naruto, Mom say's five minutes then it's time for you and Sasuke to hit the hay" Naruto heard from the other room. Naruto nodded.

"I have to go...I love you, Princess"

Silence. "I love you too." Naruto blushed and smiled as he hung up the phone, if he had heard correctly, he would of heard Sakura say: "I love you-tube" really fast. While sleeping Naruto couldn't help but dream of his princess: Sakura while Sakura drempt of her prince Charming and her dream wedding with Sasuke. Well, Sasuke, he dremt that his school burned to the ground and he didn't have anymore homework and could spend the rest of his days with Naruto.

It took a lot of persuasion and begging but Naruto had managed to let Kushina and Minato agree to let Naruto go out on Sunday. Sasuke had left for school the next morning, allowing Kyuubi to escourt him to school while Naruto's mother took him to the hospital for his exams and tests. Naruto had begged Kushina at first when she said 'no' but around lunch time when Naruto's father came and Naruto explained how this was his first date and he wanted it special, Minato agreed that Naruto could go with Sakura to a movie explaining to Kushina that Naruto would be given a ride and not have to worry about the coldness hurting him.

That night after his hospital visit on sunday, Naruto raced up the stairs to his room, depratly trying to pick out an outfit for the movie. He wanted to look nice, but it was a movie for crying out loud he wasn't going to The Emmys or a Concert he figured his black jeans and white slimming dress shirt was approprate. He wondered if he should wear a hat or maybe a cap atleast, he thought when he looked in the mirror at his hair and the starting of a bald spot on the back of his head. Suddenly he felt very concious about himself.

Kushina knocked on the door and let her head into her son's room.

"Naruto, hurry up Tou-san's waiting-Naruto?"

Naruto was sitting on his bed shaking and sniffing.

"What's wrong baby? are you sick? should I call Sakura's mom to tell her to-"

"No! No, it's fine..." Naruto wimpered.

"Well, what's wrong Naruto?" Kushina wasn't going to let him get away with this she was going to find out why Naruto, her baby boy, was crying. Naruto sniffed and pointed to his head.

"It's my hair...what if Sakura gets embaressed by me?" Naruto cried.

Kushina wipped away a few tears and held Naruto. "Naruto, if Sakura loves you, she wouldn't care what your hair is or what happens to it." Kushina said truthfully. And if she's got a problem I'll kill her. "Naruto, don't think about what others say about you, what's most important is what you think of yourself" She smiled. Naruto smiled softly back.

"You're right, Kaa-san." He stood up. "So Daddy's ready?"

She nodded, kissing his forehead. "Have a fun time, Naruto."

"Thank you, Kaa-san"

Naruto stood at the entrance with two movie passes in his hands. Sakura really wanted to see the new Twilight Breaking Dawn movie and he had gotten them center row seats. He blushed and smiled.

"Naruto!" Sakura called. Naruto looked up to see Sakura dressed in a nice pair of white bell bottom pants and one of those designer tops with various necklesses and charms. He smiled, she looked beautiful, she even had eyeliner and mascara on.

"You look pretty-" Naruto smiled, handing her the ticket. She smiled and looked around, expecting Sasuke to be there.

"Oh? Sasuke isn't here?" She frowned.

"N-no." Naruto said. "This was a date after all, so I thought-"

"No, it's okay Naruto. You can bring him next time" She smiled. Naruto was curious and felt lost. Why would she want Sasuke to come with them on their date? He wondered. He shrugged it off and opened the door for her, she didn't thank him but he was still glad to do it. Naruto various times tried to hold Sakura's hand during the movie, but either he was too nervous and shy or she was texting on her phone. Sakur was texting constantly threw the date. Naruto gulped.

"Um...Sakura, may I ask who you're talking to?" He asked.

"Hm? Oh...Ino. She's telling me about her time at the mall with Sai" She spoke. She continued to text on her iPhone while Naruto sighed and frowned. He felt he was the only one watching or enjoying the movie, more or less the date. When the movie was over, Sakura dragged Naruto to the mall where she met up with Ino, they chatted for a while and Naruto became quite bored. But when he thought his night was going to get worse, Sakura looked over at Naruto and frowned.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been nice to you, huh?" she smiled. Naruto blushed looking at her.

"Um...excuse me?" Naruto asked.

Sakura looked over at the car honking to the two, it was Kyuubi and his friend Pain wanting despratly for Naruto to hurry up and get into the car.

"You see. I've been so shy of you, oh you must think I'm crazy!" She pretending to blush and hid her face behind her hands, Naruto gently pulled them away and shook his head.

"Sakura...I think you're-" Before he could finish He felt her wet lips on his, gengerly kissing him and he kissed back his eyes closed and mouth open. When the kiss was over, Kyuubi and Pain were dumfounded and Naruto's face was beat red with love.

"S-Sakua?" He meeped.

"See ya' round Naruto" She smiled waving him off. Naruto walked backwards slowly into the car and smiled. He had his first kiss...If he had looked back he would of seen Sakua depretly wipe away her mouth with a hankerchif. She dreaded ever making that move on the blonde.

"Oh well, it'll be over in a week". She assumed.

OOOOOOH! What a meanie Sakura is! *fumes with anger* well, this won't be too good in the end, now will it? Anyway, the next chapter won't have Sakura in it at all I gaurente you. Yeah, I'm Sakura-Bashing but that flat-chested jerk deserves it!

Any-who. Please review! ^^
