Chapter
Fifteen: Dinner and a Show

��

��
�� It
was late in the day when I finally woke up.�
I was alone and my bed looked like I had tried to fight off 20 people on
it.� I guess it wasn�t a dream, Ino,
Sakura, all of it.� It wasn�t a
dream.� So I sat there.� For about an hour I did nothing but sit and
accept what had happened to me.

�� The
man I would call brother, the man I had trusted with my life, he decided he
wanted to hurt me.� But why would he do
this to me?� Why would he use my love of
Sakura to try and force me away from her?�
Why would he use something I�m willing of doing myself against me?� If she wanted him, if Sakura truly wished to
be with Sasuke then I would not stand in their way.� I would stop fighting and let them be
together.� But until that day, when she
says to me that she loves Sasuke and wants to be with him more than with me,
I�m not going to give up trying.� I will
give everything to make her happy.� And I
will do so with a smile in my face.�
Anything at all for her.

�� I
let out a large sigh before collapsing back into bed.� Then it hit me, I stank!� Man, I must have been
sweating up a storm from all that.�
Seriously I need a bath, or a shower or something.

�� So
I stumbled my way over to my bathroom and started the tap.� After the water was significantly warmer I
stepped under the constant spray.� I was
heavenly.� I spent nearly an hour
scrubbing myself clean, and another hour, and all of the hot water let to me,
sitting under the spray relaxing.� It was
so nice, not being tormented, relaxing in a warm environment.� Sadly it had to end, the cold water was quite
uncomfortable.

�� So
it was, quite reluctantly, that I turned off and left the shower.� However I took notice of myself in the mirror
and realized just how much I had changed over the years.� I wasn�t really that 6 year old kid, striving
for everyone�s attention by acting out.�
I wasn�t the 12 year old genin that was still acting out and trying to
gain people�s attention.� I wasn�t the
boy who thought that I was better than what other people thought of me.� I�ve not pranked anyone in years, well at
least not seriously so.� A smile formed
on my face as I realized just how mature I had become in all these years.� Then a sobering thought came to mind.� I shouldn�t be so cocky about that, I might
turn into Kakashi then.

�� So
I opened the door and made my way back into my room, but stopped dead before I
left my bathroom.� She was here, in my
room.� She was staring at my bed and
looking franticly around.� Was she
looking for me?� �Sakura?�� What the hell am I doing?� I mean I just got out of the shower.� Oh shit
I just got out of the shower.� I�m naked,
and wearing a towel.� If I don�t do
something quick she�s going to want to kill me for doing something perverted.

�� So
I dove back behind the door and leaned from behind it.� Smooth move Naruto, very inconspicuous,
you�re only running and hiding from a friend while half naked and wearing a
towel, she totally knows you�re not scared.�
�Um Sakura, not that I�m not glad to see you or anything.�� I couldn�t really help the blush that came to
my face, man this really is embarrassing.�
�But um, what are you doing here?�

�� She
didn�t reply.� It seems she was more
engaged with looking at, well I guess she was staring at me if anything.� Okay this is getting a bit ridiculous, I mean
she�s staring straight at me and not saying anything.� Almost like she�s in some sort of trance.� Okay time to try and break through to
her.� Grabbing my towel to make sure it
wouldn�t slip and end me up in the hospital, I stepped out of my bathroom and
stood in front of Sakura.� It seems she
didn�t even notice this, she�s still looking at my shower.� I wonder what she�s thinking?

�� Hello
Sakura?� Are you okay?�� I was waving my hand in front of her face to
get her attention, and it seemed to be working.�
I guess she noticed how she zoned out on me like that and blushed in embarrassment.� Well doesn�t really surprise me, I did the
same thing.

�What?� Oh yes, yeah I�m okay Naruto.� Sorry about that.� I was in here earlier, and you weren�t
feeling well.� You nearly had a
breakdown, I had to get Ino to come in and help you.� She um, well she found out about Kyuubi, and
she knows not to talk about it.� But
afterward well, you sort of passed out and I thought that I�d be here when you
woke up.� But then I wanted some tea, and
you were out, so I thought I�d pick up something for lunch.� So I grabbed some money from your wallet, but
nothing seemed to go right.� The markets
didn�t have anything fresh, and they were out of my favorite tea.� In the end well I didn�t find anything I
could use to make lunch.�

Wow, she sure
did ramble on there.� Wait a minute, I
narrowed my eyes, did she say lunch?� I
had to do it, I sniffed.� She
didn�t.� she wouldn�t.� did she? ��Did you get ramen?�

�� Um
yes, I didn�t know what to get you so Ayame helped.�

I must control
my happiness.� Must be more mature for
Sakura.� But I can�t just do nothing, I
mean what would she think?� That I�m not
happy that she got me ramen, even if it was with my own money.� So I flashed her a very happy grin. �Thanks
Sakura, you didn�t have to do that.�

She returned my
grin with a smile, she must be happy now.�
�Wasn�t any trouble Naruto, now you get dressed and I�ll get lun-�� Um what�s a lun?� And what�s over
on my bed side table?� All I can see is
my alarm clock, so what does 5:30 have to do with it?� �Err, I should say dinner ready.� Then we�ll eat.�� I couldn�t hold it in anymore.� I was jumping for joy, bouncing off my bed a
few times before finally calming down.

I was all ready
preparing to apologize for how I had acted when I noticed that she had left the
room.� What if she saw me and left?� Is she still here?� A quick check outside my bedroom door
confirmed that she was in my kitchen pulling out dinnerware and setting the
table.� I guess I should throw some
clothes on, I know for a fact Sakura would beat me senseless if I went out
there like this.� So I grabbed the first
clean shirt and pair of pants that I found in my civilian drawer.

�� Um
hey Sakura, about earlier.� Well I�m
sorry about what I did.�� She looks a
little confused, maybe she doesn�t know what I�m talking about.� �I, I made you cry, didn�t I?� I�m sorry about that Sakura, I really am.�

�� It�s
okay Naruto, I was just worried for you.�
I didn�t want you to get hurt.�
But I�m glad you�re okay, I really am.��

�� Oh
that�s good.� But um.�� How should I say this?� Maybe my bowl has all my answers.� After staring into it, well nothing really
helped.� �Well I was sort of wondering
why you showed up this morning.�� I gave
her a quick glance before returning my gaze to my bowl again.

�� Oh
well I sort of wanted to make it up to you for last night.� I was really sorry for missing out date like
I did and I was really grateful for the dumplings you got me.� Heh, guess I kind of made it up to you.�

�� I
couldn�t help but laugh at that, and so did she it seems..� �Tomorrow�s the day I start my
training.�� I couldn�t help the sad tone
to my voice.� That means I won�t be able
to see her as often.� �Kakashi�s probably
going to work my hands to the bone.�� For
once it seems I�ll have his attention.� I
couldn�t help but laugh at that.

�� That
probably means we won�t be seeing a lot of each other, doesn�t it?�� she�s right.�
I gave her a small nod before looking up into her eyes.� I couldn�t help but be drawn in by those
glorious green orbs.� Before long the two
of us were talking about all sorts of things.�
Then I caught glance of the clock on the wall and realized how late it
really was.

�� I
should probably be getting home soon.� I
have to be up early to get Kakashi out of the hospital, then I have training
with Lady Tsunade.� You should also be getting
to bed, Kakashi probably wants to start first thing after he get out of the
hospital.�� It seems Sakura had also seen
how late it was, and she did have a point about us needing to get to bed.� Oh no, she�s heading for the door.� Think Naruto, anything to stop this night
from ending.

�� Wait
Sakura, um do you want, I mean would it be okay if I walked you home?�� it�s a long shot but is she says yes it means
I can spend more time with Sakura.

�� She
grabbed the doorknob and turned to me smiling.�
�I�d enjoy that Naruto.�� I followed
her out the door and down the street, staying a few steps behind her all the
time.� However every third step she would
stop and turn to look at me.� The sixth
time she did this she seemed to pout and just stand there.� �Naruto, if you�re going to walk a girl home
you don�t follow her.� You walk with her.�� She seemed to find that fact funny as she let
out a small giggle.

�� About
a block later she started acting weird again.�
Every other step she would brush her hand against mine.� After what seemed like two blocks of this she
took hold of my hand and smiled.� I couldn�t
believe it. Sakura was holding my hand, willingly, as I walked her home.� I had to look over at here to make sure I wasn�t
dreaming.� Every time she looked over at
me I had to look away.� She was so
beautiful, the way the moon lit up her face.

�� When
we finally made it to her house we stopped just outside her door.� �Well um, thanks for walking me home Naruto,
and, well even though it wasn�t exactly a date, and earlier today you scared me
half to death, I had a good time.�

�� I did too Sakura.�� As we both stood there she seemed to tense up
for a moment as she glanced between me and her door.� then it happened before I knew it.� She kissed me.� It was on the cheek, but it was a kiss.� But best of all, it was intentional.

�� I�ll see you later Naruto.� Maybe we can do this again some time.�� Long after she had shut the door and I had
started to walk home, the only thought that remained in my head was that I hoped
that we could do this again too.
