Two concerned parents were still arguing. The whole house echoed with raised voices for the past two days. Even their neighbors accustomed to the loudness of Meibuke Haruno were concerned. Sakura had finally come home but while she was at work, her parents seized the opportunity to let loose. In the mornings, they greeted her and one another genteel smiles. Few words other than the usual exchanges could be heard.
"I’m off," Sakura announced, sitting down on the step to tug on her tall grey sandals. Looking up from his paper Kizashi grinned.
"Have a good day, Sa-sa! Don’t make anyone sicker," he chuckled.
Sakura’s face wrinkled into a frown like she had tasted a lemon. “Da-ad, I hate that nickname!"
In the kitchen, Meibuki frowned only for an instant. Quickly she slapped a smile on her face. “Sa-sa chan, will you be bringing anyone home?"
"For dinner? Your mother’s running out of ingredients," Kizashi interrupted, putting up his paper again to shield his face. Sakura winced.
"Unless I can get them home grown you mean, dear…"
Sakura scrambled to her feet. Mom and dad’s tension still crackle in the air. “Later, mom, dad! I’ll be home for dinner!"
She practically dashed out of her home just as she did for the past three days after she quit staying at Naruto’s. That awkward conversation on his living room sofa had cleared the air but those tense fake smiles on both their faces were clear. Mother and dad must well know that she and Naruto were intimate, but were too polite to press the matter further.
"I’ll be having lunch at home," she had promised. Then she had to bear those sad eyes from that blonde who did his best to keep a fake smile on his face. Up until the point they all left. She guessed he must have been sulking.
Now as Sakura rushed to the hospital she glanced down at the slug she had summoned, and the blue and white striped creature inclined its head. “Yes mistress…"
Sakura smiled slightly back, rubbing the slug gently between the antennas before it moved off to her home. “Thanks, Katsumaru…"

Naruto grumbled under his breath with his hands shoved deeply into his pockets. Something landing with a plunk on his head surprised him out of his funk. “You’re going to start acting like Shikamaru now, boss?"
Naruto yanked his hands right out of his pockets. “C’mon Gamaten, don’t tell me you picked up your uncle’s habits!"
"But boss, he said you’d play with me just like you played with him!" The toad on his head croaked. His bright red streaks swirled over rust red skin, only wearing a vest.
"What are you, a tadpole?" Naruto grumbled, glaring up at Gamakichi’s annoying little nephew.
The young toad puffed out his cheeks. “I am not! I’m bored boss! Why doncha play?"
Naruto just sighed, continuing on his way towards the magazine store. He soon found ignoring the toad was not working because it had the annoying habit of snapping up any flies.
"Go get snacks somewhere else!" Naruto hissed up at him.
"Aren’t we gonna go to the bathhouse and have me climb up on the fence like a few weeks ago?"
"Shhh! Shuddup!" Naruto hissed, grabbing the toad and stuffing him into his jacket. “I’m dating Sakura chan now!"
From his pocket came a croak. “Then why the gloomy face boss?"
Still sticking out his bottom lip Naruto muttered, “Ask your uncle will ya?"
He was not too surprised to see the toad in question watching his TV when he arrived back home. Looking up from the sofa Gamakichi waved. “Hiya boss."
"Tell this little squirt to mind his own beeswax will ya?" Naruto grumbled, unzipping his jacket and tossing Gamaten over.
"Don’t blame him boss, I just sent him to keep an eye on you since you’re in a bad mood since your girlfriend left…" Gamakichi answered.
"Thanks for the snacks boss!" the little toad chirped, hopping up to sit next to his uncle.
Naruto dug through the cupboards and yelped. “So THAT’s where my popcorn vanished to!"
"Well you should keep more in stock! Besides, aren’t you going to go visit her since you’ve been avoiding her?" Gamakichi asked, flicking popcorn into his mouth.
Naruto grabbed a cup of ramen out of the huge box on his kitchen floor. “I just want to give her some space. That’s what Iruka sensei told me to do. I want to prove to her parents its not just about sex…"
Leaping off the sofa Gamakichi moved over to slap the blonde on the back. “Congrats! You two took long enough!"
"Ehehe, yeah right," Naruto chucked, grinning.
Also grinning the toad nodded. “But her parents got to be on your side. You handled them pretty good that other day. Nice and smooth boss…"
"Yeah I know. But I’m gonna surprise her," Naruto whispered, reaching into some of the cupboards. “And I’ll need your nephew’s help for this one…"
Hearing this, the younger toad leapt up off the sofa and saluted. “You can count on me boss!"

Sakura made her way down to the small garden area, carrying the bento that the little toad had dropped off. Amusement flickered her lips up slightly. Especially seeing the hyperactive blonde hanging from a branch upside down. “Over here Sakura chan!"
"Naruto! Get down from there," Sakura grumbled, hand on her hip.
The blonde grinned and snickered. “Not till I get a kiss Sakura chan…"
"You big baby," Sakura sighed, walking up to peck him on the cheek. “Only because you sent lunch."
Momentary disappointment vanished from Naruto’s face as he swung back and forth. Flipping off the branch, he then landed on both feet and rubbed his neck. “Hope the eggs are ok…"
"I’m impressed," Sakura confessed, holding up the bento. “But there’s too much for me to eat alone."
A big grin crossed the blonde’s face. “Yep… I can help you with that, ehehehe…."
Rolling her eyes Sakura grabbed his offered arm and he led her toward the grove of trees not far from the hospital. Sitting down first, Naruto patted his knee with one hand. His pinkette cocked a brow. “Seriously?"
"Well the grass is wet, so why not dattebayo?" Naruto asked, sticking out his bottom lip. “Pleeease Sakura chan?"
Sakura hid her giggle behind her hand. “All right, all right you win,"
Naruto extended his hand and helped her to sit down in his lap. She sat crosswise so her long legs hooked over one knee and her bottom nestled in the triangle of his folded legs. “Way more comfy then the grass ya know."
"Ok, you win. Now let us just enjoy the bento you packed for me… And hope that you proved Sasuke wrong when he said your cooking would kill us."
"Gamakichi showed me how," Naruto said as he tried not to flinch.
Sakura clapped a hand to her mouth. “Sorry Naruto I didn’t mean to…"
However, Naruto untied the bundle. “It’s ok Sakura chan. I don’t mind. He wasn’t like he was now…t hen… c’mon… have some of this yummy bento!”
He broke apart his chopsticks and held up a piece to her. She blushed deeply, remembering another time. That crafty fox! “Naruto…"
"Hey you fed me so I’m just paying you back," he protested, waggling the food before her. Sakura accepted the morsel of omelet from him hungrily. Even though she guessed people could see them together, she did not care because Naruto showed his romantic side quite nicely. She was grateful to whoever was giving him advice because it was so sweet. Proving once again how wrong she could be sometimes about people until she gave them a chance.
A few doubtful chews made Naruto flinch. “Hope you like it, Sakura chan,"
Sakura’s strange expression vanished when her eyes closed and she swallowed the bite. “Mmm… it’s pretty good.”
“You had me going there for a moment! Good one, Sakura chan,” Naruto giggled, holding up another piece for her. It was fun for her to have him feeding her for a change. Cute and childish, but extremely sweet. In turn, she picked up the other pair of chopsticks and held it out to him. His proud grin made her tap the side of his head.
“Hey Sakura chan!” he yelped.
“You’re too tricky sometimes, but I’m in a good mood for now,” she playfully warned him. Sure she felt the hot blood surging through her face sitting right there for all the world to see but nobody seemed to care even if they happened to glance. Except for a knowing chuckle, that Sakura’s glare managed to quench.
“What? You never saw two people eat lunch together?” she shouted, shaking her fist at the two workers.
“No ma’am… sorry Haruno san!” they both yelped at her death ray stare.
“Geez Sakura chan you have ‘em trained pretty good,” Naruto commented, swallowing hard.
“They know to stay on my good side, Naruto,” she said, ruffling his hair, but the warning tone in her voice reminded him how easily she could be upset sometimes. It was not just him that drove her up the wall.
Naruto reached up and moved a bit of egg off her face. Sakura saw the offending bit of food he licked off his hand. “Well you’d have bopped me if I licked it off your mouth… even though I wanted to…”
“You’re still a kid sometimes,” she commented, but he saw the small smile. Just getting her to do so was a huge accomplishment.
“That’s why I’ve got you to keep me in line Sakura chan, ehehe,” he reminded her, holding up more food to her. She leaned over and ate it this time, but then bent forward to lick the crumbs off his face. His huge blush and goofy grin both annoyed and delighted her.
Then Sakura moved the food to the side and leaned her head into his shoulder. Immediately he put down the chopsticks and wrapped his arms around her in a hug that seemed platonic but was filled with his devotion and lover for her. He didn’t ask at first but rubbed her back, and buried his nose in her hair.
“Come with me,” Sakura muttered, placing the lid on the box. “You need an exam.”
“Ehh?” Naruto asked, but then grinned. “You going to give me an in depth Sakura chan.”
“Shut your mouth, you pervert,” she hissed, slapping a hand over it and dragging him off. Inner Sakura giggled, “He’s catching onto you!”
“Shut up,” Sakura told her Inner self.
“Cha, you rock girl! See those muscles for yourself!” her inner taunted her.
