Okay thanks for the reviews and after giving it some thought these next few chapters will be the shortest yet, I'm sorry but these were hard to write

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Sakura couldn't believe it... Naruto was leaving. Right now he was packing up his clothes in his duffle bag and wasn't even looking at her. His mission was done, he had protected her until Ichizane had taken control of the Hyuuga's company. There was no reason for him to be there anymore.

"Naruto... are you even going to talk to me?" She asked.

Naruto remained silent as he packed his gun and knives into his bag too. After all of his things were packed up he stood up and took his keys off of her dresser, he paused for a moment before putting another set of keys down.

"...I saw you eyeing that blue Mustang awhile back. I know it's late but Merry Chirstmas Sakura. It's out in the parking lot." Naruto said.

"I don't care about that Naruto... I care about you, about us!" Sakura said.

"There's... there is no us Sakura." He said.

He once again turned his back on her and started out the room. This was her last chance, she had to tell him now! His hand was on the doorknob, it had to be now or never!

"...It's you Naruto, you're the reason why." She started and he stopped. "The reason why I'm always happy now."

He set his duffel bag down when she said that. Before he could say anything she started again.

"It's always been you Naruto. You've always been the reason I'm so confident in everything I do." She said. "You're the reason why I'm not scared anymore. The reason I can stand up to my parents now."

Naruto was surprised to say the least, he had no idea he had such a huge impact on her life.

"You're the reason I go to bed every night with a smile. You're the reason I wake up every morning with a smile... you're the reason I even wake up in the morning." She said. "You're the reaon I go to sleep at night, because I know I'll wake up to see you again."

Sakura's eyes started to tear up as she said these things.

"You're the reason I've come so far in life right now. You're the reason why I'm not afraid to try new things. You're the reason why I agreed to got bungie jumping on my 18th birthday." She giggled at that last part. "You're the reason why I think I'm cuter than Ino. You're the reason why I've gotten so interested in guns!"

Naruto actually had to bite down on his lip to stop himself from taking her in a large hug.

"You're the reason why I'm always glad to come back to this small room, because I know you'll be here." She said. "You're the reason why I can stand up to freaks like Orochimaru. You're the reason I was able to stand up to Tsunade."

Naruto could feel his nails digging into the palms of his hands as he tightened his fists to stop himself.

"It's... it's always been you Naruto! I don't know how much clearer I can be! You're the reason why I could care less about how I look because I know you'll drag me off to the gym for a workout." She said. "You're the reason I've developed an almost unhealthy obsession with ramen."

It was becoming almost impossible for Naruto to restrain himself anylonger, he knew he had to get out of here now. He picked up his duffel bag and was about to leave before Sakura came out with something he had no idea she held from him.

"And, you're the reason why I haven't had a boyfriend since my sophomore year in highschool!" She cried.

Naruto couldn't believe it! She was blaming him for not being able to get a love life?

"But that's only because I couldn't possibly imagine myself with anyone but you! Because I... I, I love you Naruto! I love everything about you!" She finished.

Naruto was shocked... Sakura had come out and said it.

"I love..." Sakura began.

Yeah pretty damn short but we're winding down to the last chapters so... yeah
