Chapter Seven

I'm not alone

TEMARI POV

Wow I can't believe the week I have had. First I find Naruto in the rain. Then he gets sick and ends of staying at my place for a few days. Then I find out he was betrayed by two are the most important people in his life. Then I take it upon myself to torture his ex. After that I wake up semi naked with Naruto, and then to top it off I think he told me loves me. Not to mention all the stuff that happened back in the Hokage office. I came here for a vacation instead I end up more stress out then I was in my home village.

Now I'm following Naruto like a lost puppy through the village streets. I'm worried that all that stuff that has happen that he just sees me as a rebound. Also I think he needs to talk about what has happen these past few to days. If he keeps everything bottle up he will explode. I just can't seem to read him. Although he looked relieved and at peace back at the office, I truly feel that he hasn't fully gotten over her yet. I hate to say it but I love him with all my heart and I don't think I can handle being his rebound, or him going back to her, if she begs for him to come back. He has a big heart and can see the light in everyone and I have no doubt he could forgive her if she asked him too. But above all he is my friend and no matter what I will support him. So here goes nothing.

"Naruto," I said as he stopped and turned to look at me. "I'm sorry about everything that happened. I just wanted to let you know that no matter what I'm here with you. Even if I'm in Suna, I'll be here for you. So if you need to talk just let me know and you I'll have my full attention. And, if you ever feel alone and I'm not here write me or send me a letter and ill respond. I I'll never betray you like Sakura and Sasuke did and I'll never hurt you, well at least intentionally."

Naruto POV

Man what a week. First I find my ex and ex best friend in my house screwing around with each. Then I get sick. I wake up find a semi naked Temari. Learned that she tortured Sakura. Figured out that I want Temari as a mate/ girlfriend/wife. Confessed my love to her. Learned that Sakura and Sasuke betrayed me in more ways than one. And despite all that I'm still happy. I will admit I was upset when all this start broke loose, but now I realize that Sakura was not the one. It hurt me to know what she had planned and to know that she and Sasuke were using me, but hating them will do nothing to erase the pain. Neither will killing. Violence only leads to violence. Now I don't mind torturing them. Well Sakura at least. Sasuke can't be tortured. He is too "precious". They have to learn their lesson somehow, but I will not gain anything in their deaths. Who maybe one day in the future I can have some sort of relationship with them, but I'm content to leave them at the mercy of the village. As long as they dot die I'm content. I don't want their deaths on my head because of what they did to me.

They are the past now I must look to my future. My future is the blond Sand Lilly walking behind me to the ramen stand. The one that the kyuubi assures me is right for me.

"Naruto," my Sand Lilly said as she stopped behind me waking me from my thoughts me. "I'm sorry about everything that happened. I just wanted to let you know that no matter what I'm here with you. Even if I'm in Suna, I'll be here for you. So if you need to talk just let me know and you I'll have my full attention. And, if you ever feel alone and I'm not here write me or send me a letter and ill respond. I I'll never betray you like Sakura and Sasuke did and I'll never hurt you, well at least intentionally."

I won't lie, I never thought it would work out between me and Temari, but I'm willing to try. I know as long as I have her in my life I won't be alone. She is the light that I needed during this brief moment of Darkness in my life.

"Temari," I said looking at her. "Thank You."

Temari POV

"Thank You." Those two simple words were enough for me to ease all my worries. Even though they were simple and I knew that they had power behind them. That he wasn't only thanking me for taking care of him but for being there for him, and in that moment I knew that I could never leave here without exploring all the options in this newly developed relationship between me and Naruto.

"So, how far are we from the ramen stand knucklehead? I'm starving," I said. Just because I just agreed with myself to pursue him doesn't mean I can go soft now. That would be a no no no.

"We are almost there," he said. "I say about another ten minutes and we will be there." We walked for talking about nothing till we came to the ramen stand.

Naruto ordered six bowls of Ramen. Two for me, and four for himself. While we waited Naruto chatted with the shop owner and his daughter, and I knew right then looking at him, smiling , laughing that no matter what he would be ok. Because despite everything he still has people who care for him. The shop owner gave us our Ramen and Naruto chowed down. We ate in blissful silence ignorant of our surroundings. Just enjoying each other company, but like most things in life all things most come to an end.

"HEY NAMIKAZE, we need to talk," I head someone shout from behind us. Naruto and I turned around and low and behold who do we see standing there. The devil Spawn himself. The traitor to the Village Hidden in the leaf, Traitor to Orochimaru, and Traitor to Naruto. Sasuke Uchiha.

A/n well here is chapter seven. So some think I was a little too easy of Sakura and Sasuke last chapter. True the plans they had should cause them to be punished by death, but I have other plans for them. I want to torture them with kindness and pain. If I kill them off it seems like they can get off easily. So yeah. But rest assured they will get there's. Next chapter we find out what Sasuke punishment is. As of now I have no idea how to punish him, so if you have any let me know and I'll be gladly use them as long as they don't involve his death or him losing his status as a ninja. Also sorry for any mistakes in this chapter. This chapter served to explore Temari and Naruto's feeling in a way and just to recap what has happen. Next chapter will be better.
