Chapter 12- Just like a band aid

A/N- This is basically a preview for the other chapter which shall feature some NaruSaku love! :D Really really short! Sorry I know I haven't updated in ages but schools a bitch and I haven't had a chance to update this story and shortness won't make up for it but I will make it up when I do chap 13!!

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto but I do know someone called Gertrude.

I felt the nervousness grow with each passing step I took towards the base of the hokage mountain. My inner self was being unusally quiet as ascended the rocky path that lead to a little carvern on the west side of the large bust filled hokage mountain,

The sweat rolled off my face in waves as I saw the blond headed boy I was looking for, he was sitting on an old swing but falled to move as he stares straight ahead, looking at the city that he wants to govern over one day.

"I don't think I can do this!" I whispered to my inner self who was fanning herself with her hands and trying in vain to wipe away the sweat that was also running all over her.

" Stop being such a pussy! Just do it, just apologise really quickly and get on one knee and propose! It is that easy." She reasoned, waggling her finger in an imitation of my mother, she even put her other hand on her imaginary hip.

" The rest of that advice wasn't that bad but I'm not going to ask him to marry me!" I whispered back keeping my voice low as my steps towards the object of my affection had not slowed or stopped.

"Just do it quickly like a band aid!" she shouted smuggly, happy with her Oprah advice moment.

I fought the urge to roll me eyes and forced myself back into the real world just as the seemingly oblivious Naruto turned around.

My hearta increased tenfold and I continued my steps until I was right infront of the orange wearing ninja. We stood in a meloncholy silence as I fumbled through the speech I had prepared for myself. I cleared my throat and nearly cried when Naruto's cerulean blue eyes shout up with a scathing look that told me clearly to leave. I wanted to do as his look said but I knew that I had to clear the unbelieveably thick air between us.

" Naruto...." I began silently begging him to at least look at me.

He granted my request and I was shocked to see unshed tears swimming in his eyes, making them look like beautiful oceans with waves that shimmered and danced with the light.

My prepared speech went out the window and I found myself launching into his strong arms and letting my apology come out in the form of tears that I had been crying ever since he rejected me. He was rigid before melting into the embrace, fusing are bodies into one, I fit into him so well our forms seemed to be made for each other.

Pulling back from his now slightly damp orange T-shirt I wiped my puffy eyes and looked my love in the eye, he was no longer crying either but was looking like the Naruto that I remembered as he blushed at our closeness. He was still holding me at the waist and I was clutching onto his sholders for fear that he would let me go.

"Naruto, please listen to me I'm so sorry! I really am, I really love you!" I blurted out without thinking and proceeded to turn a shade of red to rival Hinata or maybe a tomato.

He stared incredulous as I cover my mouth and mentally hit myself for just shouting that without thinking, I do love him but he didn't need to know it just yet!

I watched as he gripped my hand and smiled sweetly before saying " You don't know how long I have wanted to hear that from you, I want to say I love you too but we need to work towards that, I can't have you know and then let you go. I don't want to have my heart broken twice."

I couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth, he really is the worlds number one most surprising ninja.
