The streets were dark and barren as Sakura started making her way home…or wherever she was going. And it didn't help that the silence was unbearable. Deciding she had to say something she turned towards Naruto and noticed she was still holding his hand. "Sorry." Sakura said as she began to let go of his hand.

"No!" Startled, Sakura turned her gaze upwards to Narutos, noticing the red in his eyes wasn't entirely gone yet, but it was dimmer then before. "I like holding your hand." Naurto exclaimed, not at all embarrassed by his statement. Sakura silently thanked whoever was listening that it was dark enough that Naruto couldn't see her blush. Rolling her eyes at his antics she relaxed slightly. For the next few minutes neither of them said anything. Finally, Sakura turned to regard Naruto. "Naruto," Sakura stated, "you didn't have to do that, you know."

"Yes I did." Apparently, while in the bathroom Naruto had sobered up. His stance was still slightly tense, but she noticed that it lacked its drunken ease. His speech wasn't as slurred anymore, although he did slip a couple of times, but there was something in his voice that made her stop.

It was a lot deeper and more….rough? What shocked her most was the dark undertone it had. She couldn't stop herself from shivering and not from the cold. She knew what Naruto got like when he was in Kyuubi form, and she was hoping that it wouldn't happen tonight. No matter what she did she decided that alcohol and Naruto should never mix Ever. Because apparently his hold on the Kyuubi weakened with ever drink.

"I just," Naruto said, shocking Sakura out of her thought, "I just...didn't like the way he was looking at you...it was...bad."

"It wasn't that bad Naruto. Not that I didn't appreciate it, but he was only trying to buy me a drink." She said lightly.

"No, he wasn't"

Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Oh really..." She knew there was no point to try and figure out what he meant. The tone of his voice was one that meant 'case closed' and she knew no matter what she did, he wouldn't answer unless he wanted to. Even though, she had to smile. She knew Naruto had done it because he cared. Not even caring that he wasn't making must sense (she blamed that on the alcohol), She stopped and turned to him. Leaning up she let her lips come in contact with his cheek.

Blushing slightly, she whispered, "Thanks Naruto." Leaning down, she turned, and resumed walking. After a few moments, noticing he wasn't following behind her, Sakura turned and looked over her shoulder.

"Well, aren't you coming?" she said, smiling at how he was just standing there, a hand raised to the cheek that she had just pecked.

Grinning Naruto let his hand fall and hurried his pace to catch up with her.

Somehow or another, they had ended up at Sakuras apartment. She hadn't minded of course, for she was used to having Naruto stay, be it late missions or casual visits. She even gave him his own room for when he did. She had let Naruto use her bathroom to take a shower while she made them something to drink—that was non alcoholic.

After changing into a small tank top and comfortable sweat pants, she gathered the cups in her hands and made her way over to the couch. Settling herself down, she allowed her mid to wander. Tonight hadn't been as bad as she thought. Sure, there were a few mishaps here and there but overall it was a pretty fun time. She made a mental note to tell Ino that, though lord only knew she didn't need her head to get any bigger then it was already. Plus, Ino would be proud of her; she had finally brought a man home. She had to giggle at her thoughts. She could hear Ino know, demanding to know all the details of her 'late night rondevu'.

Hearing the door to the bathroom open, she turned to greet Naruto…and shirtless Naruto that is.

Sakura couldn't help the blush that spread across her face.

'Where'd his shirt go?'

'What do you care? You know you're enjoying the view' Inner Sakura chimed in, after being absent for the earlier part of the night.

'Wha—ah no!'

'Please, you can't deny it. I know' her inner sang.

'Will you shut up!'

'Hmph! Don't get mad at 'cause I'm right.'

"Sakura-chan?"

Shaking her head, she let her eyes roam over to Naruto. She couldn't pretend that she wasn't watching the drops of water that had leaked from his hair and onto his chest. His toned, hard and tanned, chest. She fought the urge to go over and let her tongue lick up the drops. Her eyes drifted lower as a few drops made their way past his abs and disappeared under his lose sweatpants. She wondered if he would stop her if she followed the same path as the drops.

'Ugh, this is just plain torture', she thought, effectively ridding herself of her previous thoughts. 'No more bad thoughts Sakura', she mentally scolded herself.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?"

Hoping her face wasn't displaying any of the thoughts in her head she nodded. Holding her hand out, she offered him a cup. "Here, this should help your stomach."

"Thanks" He grabbed the cup form her hand and proceeded to down it in one chug. Laughing he said, "Jeez, what's in the stuff? Yuck." She smiled. Apparently, not only did the Kyuubi help Naruto heal a whole lot faster, but it also helped him sober up a lot faster ten most. Then again, alcohol was considered a poison to the body, so then she could just assume that the Kyuubi was healing him all the same.

"Well, I'm beat." Naruto said as he stretched his arms over his head. Making his way to the couch, he let himself fall, not caring, or noticing, that his head fell right into Sakruas lap. "So…now what? Wanna watch a movie?"

Meanwhile, a movie was the furthest ting form Sakuras mind. 'Oh my god...his head is my lap!', 'Calm down,' she thought. Besides, it wasn't like Naruto never did it. Actually he did this on a regular day to day basis. (She knew that giving him massages wasn't a waste of time; that and the fact they were so close)

"Uh, yea, sure" She replied, praying he wouldn't hear the frantic beating that was her heart.

"Great! Lemme see what's on."

Grabbing the remote, he turned his body so that he was facing the television, lying sideways on the couch. Sakura, thanking god that her heart wasn't beating so loudly anymore, shifted so that she could put her feet on the coffee table and let her head fall onto the back of the couch, still aware that Naurtos head was lying comfortably in her lap. She almost giggled when his wild hair would brush her stomach, which was slightly uncovered due to all the shifting. She almost let herself run her fingers through said hair. And she almost let herself give into her deepest thoughts and push him back onto the couch and…S

Stop! She was not going to go there. Thinking these things at her home, alone, was one thing, but with other people in sight, no way! Especially when the object of those deepest desires was laying in her lap! Though it was so tempting… 'No! No more dirty thoughts' she thought as she shook her head.

"Oh look! The Karate Kid! I love that movie." Naruto said, successfully ridding Sakura of her thoughts, which half of her was thankful for while the other half was still tempted to act them out.

"Oh, um yea okay." She pathetically responded. So much for actual words tonight, she miserably thought. She was thankful Naruto didn't say anything in response. Falling back onto the couch a little more, she let her eyes wander towards the TV.

About an hour into the movie, Sakura could feel herself beginning to drift into sleep. Glancing at the clock, she wasn't too surprised to find the numbers 2:13 flashing on the screen. She opened her mouth to tell Naruto she was going to head to bed, when a yawn interrupted her.

"Are you tired?" Naruto chuckled. Sakura thanked years of ninja training that she hadn't jumped in shock. Not only did she not feel Naruto get off her lap, she also was surprised to see his face dangerously close to hers.

"Oh, um yeah, I guess I am" She nervously replied.

"You're all read Sakura, are you okay?"

Sakura swore her heart stopped when he placed his forehead gently upon her own. The contact sent shivers down her spine and suddenly she wasn't so tired anymore. It was at times like these that she didn't know whether to kiss him for being so concerned, or smack him. Inner Sakura, who up until now had been mysteriously silent, squealed inside her head.

'Oh MY GAWD, he's so going to kiss you'

'No he's not; he's just being a good friend and checking my temperature, that's all'

'Doesn't matter what you call it, he is SO going to kiss you. Or better yet, why don't you just tilt you head a little and…'

'Argh just shut it'

Inner Sakura laughed, but other than that stayed quiet.

Sakura cursed herself as she felt her blush deepened even more (was that even possible?). She wasn't used to Naruto being this...close, but then again that could be because if he ever tried something like this, her nerves would have gotten the better of her and she would have punch the daylights out of him.

"I don't think you have a fever…" Naruto stated as he trailed off. "But I better make sure" he whispered huskily, as if he had just woken up. As he leaned forward, Sakura could only gasp as she felt Narutos lipped slanted on hers. Naruto took full advanced of her gasp and let his tongue roam into her mouth, liking and nipping as he went.

Sakura, never having been in a situation like this before, could only gasped and moan as she felt his tongue exploring her mouth. After a moment of two, she felt her tongue instinctive move in his mouth, exploring and tasting this new sensation. Hearing him moan in response, she grew bolder and let her tongue run across his teeth and couldn't suppress the shiver that ran through her body as her tongue came in contact with one of his canines, which had grown sharper and longer (which she assumed was due to the Kyuubi).

It was only when the need for oxygen overpowered the sensation did Sakura break apart from him, her breathes now coming out in pants. Dazed, she turned her gaze towards his, only to find him staring down at her. His eyes had begun to bleed red a little and although she knew that wasn't a good sign, she couldn't help but feel a bit…thrilled, as if she was about to do something wild and dangerous.

"I may have been wrong; maybe you do have a fever." Naruto stated his voice rough and raw, like it usually was while under the influence of the Kyuubi. Leaning down until his mouth was at her ear he whispered "You know what they say about people with fevers, Sakura?"

Not trusting her voice, she could only shake her head. At the moment she couldn't form a coherent thought, let allow speak one out loud. Plus, is didn't help that his hands were drawing meaningless patterns across the exposed skin of her stomach.

"They say that the best way to get rid of a fever is for the person to….sweat it out." With that said he let his lips latch onto the place where her shoulder and neck met. Sakura could only gasp at both his words and his actions. She couldn't believe this was finally going to happen. She had wanted this to happen for so long and now it was. Of course, she never thought it would happen of her couch but she wasn't complaining.

Feeling his hand creep up under her shirt, Sakura gave a small cry when his hand was just under her bare breast. She wriggled slightly, hoping that he would move his hand higher. Shutting her eyes tightly, she braced herself for the contact.

Only, it never came.

Opening her eyes, she turned her head to glance over at Naruto…only to find him snoring softly on her shoulder. That fucking son of a bitch had fallen asleep on her. Was she really that bad that it would put him to sleep?

Sighing, she struggled a bit until she was able to get out from under him and onto the floor. She stood there for awhile, hoping that by glaring at him, he would wake up and they could finish was they started. The only reaction she got was a snore, and he shifting in his place so that was lying on his side.

Despite everything, she had to smile. It was so like Naruto to do something like this, and she couldn't blame him for that (plus all that dancing probably tired him out). Shaking her head she walked towards the closet and got a blanket and then made her way back to drape it over him. Kneeling down she placed her hand on his head and kissed him on the forehead. There would always be tomorrow she thought.

Standing up, she stretched until she heard a satisfying pop. She then made her way toward the television and shut it off, the move long since over. Shaking her way she headed towards the bathroom.

'Well', she thought ironically, 'I guess I will be getting that nice hot bath. Only it won't be so hot.'
