Choices


"S-Sakura?" Naruto asked in disbelief. He couldn't believe that sakura Haruno was right infront of him, then he frowned, looking outside his window.

"Sakura, it's snowing. Don't tell me you walked here." Naruto said, concerned. Kushina and Minato glared at the pinkette as Sakura made her way to Naruto's bedside. Obito and Rin were confused, not knowing who this girl was.

"Naruto...I need to talk to you," She looked at the four adults. "Privetly, please."

Kushina shook her head. "Sorry, honey, no can-do."

Naruto sighed. "It's okay, Kaa-san, I want to talk to her too."

Minato was shocked. "Are you sure, Naruto?"

"Yes...please, just ten minutes?"

Kushina huffed, eyeing Sakura, her hands on her hips and she walked out of the room, vowing that this door will open in ten minutes, no more and no less. After everyone left the room Sakura pulled up a chair to sit down in and Naruto gazed out his window. He had a wonderful view of the parking-lot and the highway.

"...What are you doing here?" He finally asked.

"...I came to apologize." She admitted, her cheeks a flushed pink, she took in a deep breath her hands and legs were shaking and she spoke with slight authority and curiousity. "And...I also wanted to see...if you still loved me."

Naruto's eyes went wide.


Life is a pure hell and Sake is good in Tsunade's world. The doctor had been forced to go home ordered by Shizune and Chiyo. At the moment, she was curled up in a few blankets, some improtant papers laying around on the floor and a bottle of sake in her hands.

"Fuck my life." She mumbled, taking another swing of the hard booze. The Sake numbed her pain of knowing there was nothing she could do beyond this point for Naruto. She flicked on the TV, ironically nothing but soap operas were on. She scoffed, tossing the remote at the TV.

She huffed, the blonde ran her fingers threw her hair, taking a gaze on an old photo. It shoed her and her grandfather. Her grandfather had died of Cancer, which is why she was a doctor, she wanted to make sure her patients were cured, which was why she felt so close to Naruto. She wanted to somehow save Naruto from cancer, maybe she'd get closure from her Grandfather's death. She never noticed the door creek open to her apartment.

"Hellooo~" A giggle came. "Are you naked, should I not come in?" Of course Jiraiya made sure to bring a camera, just in case he found some interesting research.

Tsunade froze.

Hell. . . .to the no.

"Tsunade~" Jiraiya smiled, taking a look around the corner, smiling a dopy-smile seeing a stunned Tsunade on the floor with Sake in her hand.

"Hello~" Jiraiya waved his hand, talking baby-gibberish.

"The. . .fuck?!" Tsunade made out.

"Oh, yes, tis I, Jiraiya-san! The noble and handsome godfather of Kyuubi Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki." from out of no where a giant block had risen as Jiriaya praised his name while Tsunade sat on the floor, eyes wide and her mouth open.

". . . I'm gonna' kill Shizune."


"Well, let's talk." Naruto spoke, annoyed and slightly awaed. Sakura bit her lip, taking a deep breath.

"I came, Naruto, to apologize." She admitted. Naruto rose an eyebrow.

"Oh? and who exactly, made you do that? Your mom and dad? Ino, Hinata?" Naruto began to spit out acusations, he fell for sakura's trap once, he wasn't going to do it again. Naruto knew someone must have made her come here, someone must of made her apologize.

"No. . .No one, Naruto." Sakura sniffed. "I. . I feel bad."

"Oh, so it's for your gain?" Naruto's eyes were slits as he narrowed them.

"No!" Sakura cried. "No one's child but mine!"

Naruto stopped talking to let Sakura speak, appartently according to the pinkette, she felt horrible, after what she did to Naruto. She wanted to ask, maybe go as far as to beg for his forgiveness. Naruto wasn't the one to hold a grudge against anyone for anything, but this time, he felt conflicted and unsure.

Sakura's emerald were full of tears. As for the first time in her "relationship" with Naruto, she felt truthfully sorry.

Naruto laid back into his pillows, facing the window, watching the light snow fall and how soft the snow looked. Anything to not look at Sakura's guilty face.

"I. . . I don't know, Sakura." He yawned.

"What? What do you mean, you don't know?!" She didn't mean to yell, but she didn't spend the night in a bathroom, be chased by the cops or runaway just to be told: "I don't know."

Naruto ignored her, continuing to look out the window.

"Dammit, Naruto! Do you know what I just went threw?! I went threw Hell for you!? And this is how you tell me how we're gonna' be? By doing this to me?! How could you do this to me?!" Sakura screamed, tears rolling down her face. Naruto turned his head, smirking at her.

"Naruto! I still love you! I have feelings for you! Why would you stomp on them as if they're nothing?!" She added.

"Where had I heard that before?" He smiled bitterly.

Sakura was lost for words. The large door opened (or more to say, pushed open) by the lovley Kushina. Minato was behind her, smiling as he carried a trey of food to his son.

"Alrightly-time's up!" Kushina barged into the room, shooing the still-stunned Sakura out.


"Now. . ." Jiraiya spoke, after Tsunade had collected herself out of her state of shock, Jiraiya took a seat next to Taunade on the floor, his voice serious and calm.

"I want to know, why did you have a panic attack at work." He spoke.

"None of your damn business." Tsunade spat, taking another swing of her booze. Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. This was going to be tough. He mentally sighed and knew his wallet was going to be sabatoged.

"How about some Pachinko* ?" He smiled then he added, "I'll . . .pay."

Tsunade's eyes went wide like a cat. "Really?"

"Really." Jiraiya struggled to speak, knowing his wallet was going to bleed with Tsunade's gambling.


Sorry it took me forever, I just got a new job :D Review please.

*Pachinko = Japanese slot machine
