I do not own Naruto, if I did, it'd be less long-winded...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was sitting in her room, staring at a picture of Team 7. She smiled a bit and wiped some dust off of Naruto's face. "I wonder when he's coming back." As if on cue, her telephone started ringing. Sakura deftly flipped over her bed and answered the phone on her nightstand.
"Haruno residence."
"Hey Forheeeeaaad! Guess who's back."
Sakura perked up at hearing this. "Your not messing with me, are you Piggy-chan?"
Ino smirked on the other end. "It's exactly who you think it is, no games! He came into the flower shop about 30 minutes ago!"
Sakura plopped down on her bed and began twirling the phone cord. "Has... Naruto changed any?"
Ino chuckled a bit on the other end. "I really think you should see him for yourself, but, I need someone to vent with… HE'S SOOOO CUUUUUTE!" Sakura pulled away from the receiver as the squeals pierced her ears.
"Naruto? Cute? No way in hell." Sakura was extremely confused. She tried to imagine what Naruto would look like now, she imagined a slightly taller Naruto in a black and orange jumpsuit with a stupid grin on his face. Shaking the image from her mind's eye she still refused to believe Ino, assuming it to be some setup for an elaborate prank.
"I can't quite picture that, Piggy-chan."
Ino rolled her eyes. "That's why I'm telling you to see it for yourself! To think he had the biggest crush on you ever. You lucky b-"
"Don't finish that sentence if you know what's good for you."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever Forehead."
Sakura thought back to the days when Team 7 was at full capacity, Naruto had really become a dear friend over that time, but Sakura didn't think that she could see him as anything else.
Ino broke the silence. "You only see him as a friend, don't you?"
Sakura jumped. "Are you reading my mind over the phone?!"
Ino laughed. "You know it doesn't work like that Sakura. You haven't even seen'im yet and he's already got your brain all twisted in a knot. Find him and you'll understand JUST what I mean."
"I really don't know what you mean Piggy-chan."
"Stop talking to me and go! Before I start describing the kinky twisted fantasies in my... head. … I have to go."
Sakura frowned. "We haven't talked in a week! What's the rush?"
Ino squealed. "I gotta go take a cold shower!"
Sakura shuddered. "He can't really be that attractive, can he?"
Ino squealed again. "You have no idea!" Sakura scratched her head and replied. "Well where is he?" Ino picked up a bath towel and her favorite soap; "I don't know Forehead, he's your teammate, use that big brain of yours! I'm hanging up now." Sakura sighed as she could hear her friend skipping toward the bathroom as she hit the end call button.
Sakura switched out her lab coat and tights for her usual black leggings and red tank top. The Kunoichi had filled out nicely over the years, having grown to a respectable 5'6", and her formerly flat chest had decided to change its tone. Sakura's chest however, wasn't her most distinguishing feature. It wasn't her eyes, or her lips, or anything socially acceptable like that... Let's just say that enthusiastic complements concerning her derrière had drastically increased in quantity, make of that what you will...
She looked at herself one more time before tying her hair up, akin to the way Anko would do her hair. Sakura leaned back, and exhaled as her spine made creaking and popping noises in protest. She put her red forehead protector in its usual place on her head and strolled out the door.
Naruto and Kakashi were walking down the street in silence. Naruto was annoyed, Kakashi was amused, these feelings were mainly inspired by the reactions of the female (and a small subset of the male) population of Konoha. What Kakashi found the most entertaining was the fact that Naruto's pouty face made him look aloof and elegant, which in turn, drew even more attention to his former student.
"You know, I don't think that facial expression is helping you go unnoticed, Naruto."
"Then what face should I make huh?!"
"I don't know, but you look a lot like Sasuke right now."
Naruto's facial expression snapped to disgust, and then back to normal.
"Oi, Kakashi-sensei. Is this better?"
"No. Just forget I said anything. It is what it is."
Naruto stared at Kakashi for a second and laughed to himself.
Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow. That was the one eyed ninja's way of asking for an explanation. Naruto put his hands behind his head, which gave everyone on the street a full view of his shredded torso. Squeals were heard everywhere, Naruto immediately held his haori shut. "Anyway, it's just that someone used to say that to me all the time."
Kakashi smirked, unbeknownst to Naruto. "And who exactly would say that to you all the time?"
"Inu-san! Man, I wonder if he's still alive."
"Who now?"
Naruto looked up at the blue sky. "When I was little, there was an ANBU assigned to guard me. I didn't see him much, but I knew he was there. He'd leave me food, presents, and he'd also protect me from angry mobs and other crap that wanted to kill me dead." Naruto motioned with his hands, in an attempt to emulate this 'Inu-san' he spoke so fondly of.
"If I asked him why these things happened to me he'd just say; "It is what it is." ... He's probably dead now though."
Kakashi flipped his porno novel out and nonchalantly replied. "Yeah... that was me."
"NANI?!"
Kakashi answered without looking up. "What about it?"
"Ne, Kakashi-sensei, exactly how long have you been part of my life?"
"Since day one pretty much." Kakashi flipped a page. "Why do you think you ended up on Team 7? I requested you. Sandaime-sama wanted me to continue keeping an eye on you after I quit the ANBU, and that was the easiest way to do it at the time. Does it really at this point?"
"YEAH! What other secrets are you guys keeping from me?"
Kakashi tapped his forhead protector. "I'm a ninja, remember? We're entitled to secrets."
"Fine... Where're we goin' anyways?"
"Ichiraku's, my treat."
"No complaints here!" Naruto was doing backflips on the inside. He thought back to the time that Team 7 tried to see Kakashi's face, and now he'd get to see it. That and the free ramen was a plus.
Sakura walked down the street, her eyes scanning for even the slightest glimpse of orange, or a neon blonde mop of hair. Having strolled around for 10 minutes she slapped her rather ample forhead. "What's it called? … Ichiki's? No… Ichiraku! That's where he'd always offer to take me." She ran up the side of the nearest building, much to the confusion of the common population, who shortly after, dismissed it as "ninja shit."
Sakura lept from roof top to roof top, still scanning for the slightest glimpse of orange. As she approached the ichiraku ramen stand, she saw that it was the most crowded area on the street. She landed near the front of the crowd, and tried to figure out what, or who was drawing so much attention. She looked through the bustling street in an attempt to find a familiar face, but she couldn't see anything. There were just a bunch of girls everywhere squealing and gossiping.
Sakura figured they must have been talking about Naruto based on their descriptions and adjectives, "blonde", "orange", "sexy". She stopped listening when their conversation went into the gutter. Sakura was unable to reach the ramen stand itself due to the circle of girls around the establishment. She yelled. "SHANNARO! GET OUT OF MY WAY!" The crowd recognized the voice and parted like the Red Sea. Sakura proudly walked through the divide and stopped just in front of Ichiraku's.
"Sakura-chan." Her heart skipped for a second, but the voice was of a more relaxed tone. Kakashi was next to her before she knew it.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi eyed her dully for a second. "You're looking for Naruto, right?"
"Right."
"Well, I was eating ramen with him, but he started acting really weird when we got our bowls. I'd figured something was up so I slipped out while he was breaking his chopsticks."
"So he was here with you?"
"Yup. He's right there actually." Kakashi pointed to the lone figure in the stand.
Sakura saw the bottom half of a black haori and some grey pants with orange wraps around the ankles. She also saw an ornate sword, and some black ninja sandals. She couldn't see anything else due to the curtain on the stand. Her eyes narrowed and she began crossing the gap between the crowd and Ichiraku's, but she froze in her tracks when she heard a familiar, yet unrecognizable voice come from the stand.
"Nice to see you too Ojiisan! Tell Ayame-nee I said hi!"
The figure got off the stool and appeared to take a deep breath before turning around and walking through the curtain. Everything went in slow motion for Sakura. The look of skepticism on her face switched to confusion as she finally saw how much Naruto had changed in the last 2 and a-half years. Ino wasn't lying, he was gorgeous.
Naruto's attractiveness notwithstanding, a wave of emotion passed over Sakura, she thought back to all the times that Naruto to had saved her, all the times he'd been there, and the guilt she'd felt when she learned that Sasuke tried to kill him. Every word of Naruto's promise to her felt like a knife in her heart.
She flashed back to that moment when he made his promise to her. In that very moment, the smile on his face was fake, it was masking disgust. She could tell that Naruto didn't want to have anything else to do with Sasuke at that point, yet he was going through with it for her sake. He was the primary reason that she'd progressed so far, so that she could be there to help him fulfill his promise.
Sakura's deep and emotional thoughts concerning her history with Naruto were interrupted when a gust of wind ruffled his hair and opened his haori up. He wasn't wearing a shirt. He wasn't wearing a shirt and he was shredded. He wasn't wearing a shirt, he was shredded, and he was... Naruto?
Sakura's train of thought was snapped from beautiful memories to lewd fantasies in an instant. She looked Naruto up and down, but her ogling was interrupted when she realized that his eyes had locked with hers and he gave her his trademark grin. Time slowed down for Sakura as she watched the wind blow through Naruto's features, she unconsciously smiled at him, he was back, and he was... hot?
Sakura's look of awe and admiration turned to horror when she finally realized that he was walking toward her, saying something. She couldn't hear him though, it was a little hard to breathe, and her ears were ringing really loudly. How could she keep calm in this situation? She looked so plain that day, she didn't put on lipstick, or makeup, or even a decent set of clothing. No jewelry or low cut shirts, she hadn't even done her hair! Naruto would think tha- Oh no.
He was picking her up and hugging her, she could feel his muscles through her shirt, she could even feel his heartbeat. Her face was inches from his, Sakura felt like she was falling into his electric blue eyes. Her entire body went numb, and her field of vision became a small faraway dot with Naruto's eyes in the center, then, that small dot disappeared.
