Hey everyone I'm so sorry that I took a while to update this story :( My laptop got a virus and it's completely broken. Well I ended uptrashing my old one and I did end up buying a new laptop, so it's way better than my old one :D

Oh well, to say I'm sorry here's an extra long chapter for you guys (well in my standards). I think I cut it off at a pretty suspenseful part XD

Also in a review, someone wanted Kyuubi to be in this story so I added him into this chapter so it would be longer. I did try to make it funny and not those parts that are random fillery type things.

So please enjoy and don't forget to read and review!

Summary: Sakura and Ino wanting to live in the city. Ino finds a nice apartment at a low price during her travels. But unfortunately they cannot afford it… So they need a 3rd roommate! Who will this roommate be? Will their lives change forever? Finding love where you least excepted it to be.

ooo PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER ooo

Naruto opened the door and saw Sakura dancing, shaking her head, her hair up in the air. She was dancing in her underwear.

Just her underwear…

He just stood there hypnotized by the view.

Sakura kept on dancing, moving her hips and he could see her trained body.

He looked at her bum as she danced in circle and then up her flat stomach, he slowly looked to her breasts…

'Oh man my nose is bleeding…' he looked up and noticed she wasn't dancing anymore.

He looked to her face and saw the pinkette bright red looking straight at him, into his eyes.

He saw her stepping backwards and tripped on one of the boxes. She was falling backwards and Naruto unconsciously hurried to catch her out of impulse.

He tripped on one of the box and landed on right on top of Sakura, falling in between her legs, his face buried in her breasts.

'They are so soft...'

ooooo

Roommates

Naruto heard Sakura laughing and he raised his head in surprise along with his upper body to see why Sakura was laughing.

"You... Fucking... Perv… It tickles... Get the fuck... off me!" Sakura tried to talk between giggles and laughs.

Sakura felt him raising his head and turned to look at him. Their faces were so close as if they were about to kiss.

Sakura stopped laughing, her earphones had fallen out, and they were staring in each other's eyes blushing.

"I said get off me!" Sakura said in a whisper, forgetting to breathe.

"I'm sorry Sakura, it was an accident. I swear! I was knocking on the door but you didn't answer, so I opened the door and… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... To... To do anything. My friend is here so I came to tell you. Sakura I'm sorry, I really am!" Naruto said, slowly getting up and stepping back.

He closed the door, repeatedly saying that he was sorry.

When Sakura got mad… She got mad… Like punch a huge hole in the ground mad…

"Perv! You're worst then that pervy old man Jiraya!" Naruto heard Sakura shouting after closing the door.

'Oh my god, that was... Something... They were so soft…' Naruto said as he touched his face blushing.

He hurried back to the kitchen and saw Ino looking at him suspiciously.

"Were you two fighting again?" She asked.

"No... We... We just had a... Moment... That's all." Naruto said and took a beer from the table, took a gulp and smiled apologetically.

ooooo

When Naruto left Sakura's room, Sakura laid on the floor for a moment, still shocked and taken aback from what just happened.

'So I just asked purely theoretically if it can get more awkward… Thank you karma, chakra, God of Awkwardness or whatever is out there! Thanks a lot; really, you just made my day! No, scrap that, you just made my day a hell! Here's a mental middle finger for you as a reward!' She sighed and got up, switched off her IPod and kicked the nearest box in anger.

'No, no, no, not HIM! Why is this happening? Please, can it just be a bad dream, a really bad dream?' she sighed and sat on the bed.

"Ok, ok... I guess, it wasn't entirely Naruto's fault for being in THAT situation, but... But I'm still angry. So it's his fault after all! Perv! And how long was he standing there? What am I supposed to do? Maybe I should tell him that he needs to shave? Yes, why not, 'hey Naruto, that stubble of a beard of yours is very ticklish, especially when your face is planted on my boobs.'" Sakura talked to herself sarcastically, while putting on her jeans and t-shirt.

'His face and my boobs now have a relationship, how am I supposed to get over that? Well, I might as well ignore that too. I don't want to do anything but ignore and avoid everything! Yeah, sure Sakura, just don't look at him, it's soooo easy!' She sighed and decided to try and hide that accident deep in her sub consciousness. 'Well, good luck with that.'

She looked in the big mirror she had in her room, next to the closet. Sakura took a deep breath and face palmed herself.

'What a day...' She tried to pull her hair in a ponytail, but was so frustrated and kept messing it up so in the end she decided to just leave it hanging down.

Sakura opened her door and heard voices coming from the kitchen. She walked bare foot so nobody heard her coming.

When she was almost in the kitchen, Sakura saw Ino, Naruto, and a dark haired guy laughing there.

Sakura thought they would be sitting at the table, but instead found them at the kitchens counter. Ino and the guy were sitting on the high chairs, like the ones in bars, and Naruto was on the other side of the counter, leaning on the kitchen cabinet. 'When he laughs, he actually looks... Cute.'

The pinkette walked in the kitchen and Naruto stopped laughing, straightened up and looked at her while scratching the back of his head while having a I'm-so-sorry look on his face.

He walked towards her, Ino and the dark haired man turned to her.

"Sakura this is Sai, my best friend. Sai this is Sakura, my sister's best friend."

"Hi, nice to meet you!" Sakura smiled and shook hands with Sai who had stood up from the chair.

"Hi, my pleasure" he answered.

"Were you two again fighting just now?" Ino asked, pointing her finger towards Naruto.

Sakura blushed, looking at Naruto and she stuttered, "No, we... We just had a moment... A misunderstanding" the pinkette heard Naruto's quiet sigh of relief, "We talked and decided to be friendlier to each other."

'Friendlier than ever before…' she added in her head.

"I was beginning to worry." Ino smiled and drunk from her glass. Sakura now noticed that Sai and Naruto both had beer bottles. 'I think a need a drink as well.'

"Oh yah Sakura want a beer?" Naruto asked.

Sakura nodded.

"From the bottle or do you want a glass?"

"Bottle will be fine." Sakura took the bottle that he was handing her.

Their hands touched in the exchange and they both looked deep into each other's eyes.

'Wow I feel like I'm lost at sea with those sexy blue eyes of his'

'How did I never notice how beautiful her eyes were. I can get lost in them all day…'

Finally realizing how long they have been staring at each other, they both blushed and quickly looked away.

'When she dresses like this, she looks... hot.' Naruto admitted to himself and remembered the picture he saw earlier today. 'No, no, no, Naruto. She's off limits!' He took a sip from his bottle.

"So, what were you laughing about?" the pinkette asked.

"Sai was telling us about getting lost in supermarket's parking lot. He went to a car that looked exactly like his and he tried to unlock the trunk, when a man stepped out of the car and started to yell at him. He had seen the beer bottles and called him an alcoholic that should pay more attention. Sai just turned around and walked away without looking back and not saying a word." Ino explained and Sakura could see that she liked the guy.

'So he probably was that Naruto's cute, hot friend she told me about.'

Sakura giggled and noticed Sai smiling at Ino. She looked at Naruto who was emptying a bag of chips into a big bowl.

Next to the bowl was a small plate with cheese. Naruto was wearing plain dark jeans and a orange t-shirt with a fox's face on it on it.

'Wow, it really shows off his muscles...'

"Ok changing rooms" Naruto said and they went to the living room, sat down and he turned on the stereo, looking for a radio station.

"The last few weeks living in Konoha I found a great radio station, it's just the best." he said after sitting down and turning the volume down with the remote.

"So, I'm the only one here that knows almost nothing about Konoha?" Sakura asked then continuing, "you have been living here for couple of months, Ino moved in a few hours before I arrived and she still made me wait for her, and Sai are you a local? I was here only once for the university registration and today is the second time."

"No, I'm not really a local. I moved to Konoha couple of years ago. We're actually from the same town. Naruto and I met in high school. When we graduated, my family moved here. But we still stayed friends, right?" Sai laughed.

Sakura looked at Naruto who, together with Sai, were sitting across her and Ino, who by the way was the only one wearing a skirt.

"Yup" Naruto flashed one of his signature smiles.

ooooo

They were talking for over an hour now and Naruto was finishing his third bottle, just like Sai.

Ino poured her third glass of wine and Sakura was almost done with her second bottle, so they all felt tipsy.

Naruto and Sai were talking about Konoha and telling stories about each other and how they ended up in awkward situations in bars, shops, and elsewhere. Ino told some short stories about her trip.

They were having a good time, laughing, the plates were almost empty. From time to time, Naruto would glance at Sakura, but no longer than a second, so nobody would notice him doing it.

'Man I have to stop glancing at her… But I can't help it she looks so pretty when she's relaxed like this'

"Refill!" shouted Naruto.

"We are all getting a bit drunk now, let's just take a break to sober up before drinking again" Sai suggested.

"Sure party pooper" Naruto whined.

"So, what do you like the best about this place? I mean this place is huge, you guys are so lucky that you got this place for so cheap." Sai asked.

"The bed, man. I mean, my bed is like huge!" Naruto said, spreading his arms out wide.

"Well, all the beds here are huge, it's like more than two people could fit in the bed just great." Ino giggled.

Sakura noticed what she was implying and giggled.

"Have you checked out the balcony?" Sai asked.

"Balcony, what balcony? Is there a balcony here?" Ino asked and looked at Sakura. After all, she was responsible for cleaning the living room.

"I don't know I didn't pay any attention to the windows, so I didn't open the curtains. I must admit, I didn't even pay attention to the view ether." Sakura said apologetically.

They stood up and since Sakura was the closest to the big windows reaching from the floor to ceiling, she opened the curtains and saw that they had a balcony indeed.

She tried to open the window/door to the balcony but couldn't.

Then Naruto grabbed the handle while her hands were still on it and opened the door.

He let go and she could feel the warmth from his hands still lingering on her hands.

Sakura blushed and stepped on the balcony; she walked further and leaned against the railings.

"Wow, the view is great." Naruto said next to the pinkette and she turned to look at him.

She realized that was at least a head taller than she was. 'He sure is taller and more muscular than I remember.' The image of him in the shower popped in her mind and she turned away, blushing.

Sakura looked at the city lights and felt a drop on her hand. She looked up and it started to rain, by the time the four of them quickly got inside because it was already pouring heavily.

"So much for a minute of balcony time. Well, if the weather is like this, I want to stay home." Ino started to complain but quickly changed her mind, "Or we could just have a party of four? And you could stay overnight, I mean, the couch is comfy enough and I'm sure we can find you everything you need" she ended, looking at Sai.

"I have nothing against it, if you're ok with it."

Both Sakura and Naruto nodded.

"It's time to start playing drinking games" a smirk went across Naruto's face.

"So it's turning into a hardcore home party? And I thought we'll be playing board games." Sakura laughed.

"We can always combine and have a drinking board game." Ino chuckled.

"If you ladies have nothing against getting drunk in front of a guy you just met, I'm all in." Sai added and when the girls nodded trying to contain their laughs.

Sakura couldn't help it and started to cry in laughter, soon followed by the rest of the group.

Nobody understood why they were laughing, and nobody seemed to mind laughing. The pinkette sat down and tried to calm down.

"Any suggestions?"

"You name an activity, action or something you have done etc… And the ones who have done it take a sip." Ino said.

"Cool."

"Sure why not."

"Alright I'm down."

Everyone agreed and Naruto went after a 12 pack of beers and Ino filled her glass with wine.

"It was nice meeting you, I hope you two won't find me despicable after this." Sai said smiling.

"I don't think so" Ino winked at Sakura and they both giggled.

"What's their deal?"

"Beats me."

"So, who wants to go first?"

Ino raised her hand, "I'll go."

"I got drunk in high school."

Everyone took a sip.

"I have gone skinny-dipping."

Once again everyone drunk another gulp.

They went will simple things and sometime later the needed to stop and get refill to stop the game for the third time.

"Oh man we're almost out of beer"

"I'll go get some more from the fridge" Sakura said and stood up from the couch, feeling dizzy. She chuckled and tried to walk straight.

"Do you need help?" Naruto offered.

"No it's okay, I can handle it."

The rest of the group sat on the couches and chatted when they heard Sakura squeak like a little girl in the kitchen.

"Was that Sakura?" Ino asked.

"I'll go check" Naruto stood up and headed towards the kitchen.

'Kitchen can't handle two drunk girls at once.' Naruto chuckled.

He walked to the kitchen realizing he was dizzy too but not as much as Sakura, he could at least walk straight.

Naruto walked into the kitchen and saw Sakura halfway under the table, her butt up in the air and he stopped wondering if he's seeing things.

"Sakura?"

'You should stop showing off your ass like that...' he added in his head.

"What are you doing under the table?"

"I small fox run under the table and I thought I was imagining things but then I leaned under and it was there" she crawled out from below the table holding a fox and smiling.

"His name is Kyuubi, my pet fox. He must've escaped when I left my room door open." Naruto said and stretched his arm to grab his pet.

"Owww" Sakura staggered stepping back towards the table, "I wanted to keep it. I always wanted a little fox pet. It's so cute and orange" she said and snuggled the little fox in her arms.

Naruto could tell she was beyond tipsy and the same could be said about him.

She couldn't hold her balance and Naruto saw her falling backwards. He gripped her waist with both hands and had to step closer to not fall back together with the pinkette that was in his grip.

Their bodies were pressed together. They looked in each other's eyes and Naruto felt how small she actually was. Sakura could feel his body heat and it made her go even dizzier.

'Oh, my... He's so warm… More like hot…'

"Your eyes are so bright, how come I never noticed it before?" Sakura whispered and giggled.

"We have never been as close as now." Naruto said louder than the pinkette.

"Well you sort of buried your face in my breasts" Sakura giggled and a hiccup escaped her lips. "sorry" she blushed and started to laugh quietly.

"I said it was on accident. I tripped because I sort of… Tried to catch you from falling, just like now." Naruto said in a soft voice.

"Hey I wanted to ask you, do you have a tattoo on your face?" Sakura changed the subject like most drunk people do when not able to concentrate, "You know the whiskers."

"Nope they are real, I was born with them. Want to feel them?"

"N… No…" the pinkette blushed a pinker shade than her hair.

'Oh man she's so cute when she blushed… If this keeps up I might not be able to control my self.'

Naruto leaned closer, he wanted to kiss her. After seeing her half-naked dancing, that image of her kept popping in his mind every other minute from that moment on.

He tried to forget it, but then he noticed how she was smiling, how her body moved. He kept reminding himself that she was off limits, even if he tried something; she still wasn't too fond of him to say the least.

But now, after all those beers he felt daring and she didn't even try to get away from him. Naruto leaned closer, he could feel her breath on his lips.

Sakura saw him coming closer and froze, she hoped that her imagination was just running wild and that he wasn't actually going for a kiss.

Suddenly she felt something moving in her hands and she realized she was squeezing the fox to death and it tried to free himself.

She let the fox go, still looking in to Naruto's ocean blue eyes breathing shallowly.

Naruto felt a movement and looked down, and saw his pet crawling under Sakura's shirt, making the pinkette flinch.

"Ahhh!" Sakura screamed, "I think your pet is just like you, he likes my boobs and it tickles!"

Sakura couldn't stop laughing because the fox was just so ticklish.

Naruto stepped back and bit his lip. 'Shit, I almost kissed her, I can't let myself make a move on her. Wait and see if you even like her... Not just her dancing in her underwear.'

Sakura leaned forward and tried to get Kyuubi out of her bra, when she finally caught it, the fox escaped her grip and ran away towards living room.

Sakura tried to catch it, but her legs turned in jelly and she staggered.

'Is she falling again?' Naruto tried to catch her but the alcohol did wonders to his reflexes and unfortunately was too slow and Sakura fell on her knees her face in Naruto's crotch.

Naruto stepped back and blushed, "Did that just happen?" he saw Sakura bend down even more and he leaned down to check if she's ok.

"Oh god, I'm sorry. It was an accident, you have to believe me." Sakura looked up at Naruto bright red and covered her face with her hands.

She heard he mumbled, "Oh, my god, this day just keeps getting even worse. I'm sorry about your fox. I mean the pet fox. Oh, god, I mean that fox that run away not you're... You're... Other pet.. Fox." Sakura giggled and hiccupped.

The pinkette stood up staggering, still covering her face and tried to walk out of the kitchen. She tripped on the chair and once again Naruto had to catch her.

"It's ok Sakura. I know it was an accident. Do you want to go to the living with the others?"

"No, I want to sleep. I'm drunk and very, very sleepy. And very, very ashamed of myself" she looked down blushing harder.

"Don't be. It's ok." Naruto tried to calm her down, "Come, I'll carry you, ok?"

Sakura nodded and Naruto pick her up bridal style, "Come on Sakura, everyone has their moments, don't beat yourself about it."

"It was almost like a ... You know like... That... I don't even like you. I find you annoying..." Sakura said, still hiding her face in his muscular chest.

Naruto heard what she said and the last part hurt him a little bit.

"It's ok..." was all what Naruto could think of, he suddenly wanted to go to sleep himself and forget this day ever existed.

'I was right, to her I'm just an annoying roommate... And nothing else…' A frown appeared on his face but he quickly changed it back to a fake smile.

ooooo

He carried her to her bedroom, and when Ino saw them and Sakura was hiding her face in her brother's chest, she stood up to go after them, but Sai grabbed Ino's hand.

He just shook his head and Ino sat back down.

"I guess, Sakura's going to bed. Should we call it day?" She turned to Sai.

"Maybe we can go to the kitchen, I think she won't hear us from there as much as from here. If you're not tired yourself."

"Okay" Ino agreed and they both went to the kitchen.

The female blonde knew that the pinkette wouldn't mind. They were best friends after all.

ooooo

Naruto put Sakura down on her bed and covered her with a blanket.

"Are you ok, do you need anything else?"

"No, I'm hot." Sakura kicked the blanket off of the bed and sat up, "I'm hot because you are hot." She giggled again.

"Sakura, stop joking around," Naruto pushed her back on her back, "You are drunk, you should sleep."

'What is she talking about?!'

"But I'm hot" Sakura whined and made puppy dog eyes at Naruto.

He was taken by surprise and tried to think a solution.

"What's with that look? Her eyes their so beautiful…"

The drunken Sakura was trying to take off her t-shirt, but in her intoxicated state she was too week to even lift her arms up.

She looked at him with those irresistible green eyes, once again giving him the puppy dog eyes and this time pouting a bit.

"Naruto please strip me, I'm hot"

ooooo
