Chapter IV: Vividarium

Naruto was sitting on the roof of his house, surrounded by
rows of flowers. His hands dirty from some freshly planted dirt. He sat on a
small wooden bench surrounded by a semicircle pond with the sun quickly setting
on the horizon. He let out a sigh, hoping that Sakura would like it. Her
birthday was fast approaching; Naruto had been working for months in secret to
grow a garden for her, he even extended the roofline of his house upward to
conceal the garden from sight. Naruto still felt guilty about being unable to
bring Sasuke back to her, even though the idea of her ending up with Sasuke
made his heart sink. He sadly chuckled to himself Not
like that matters anymore.
The wind started to blow, catching his hair as it danced
across his eyes. He still felt bad leaving Hinata, but it wasn't fair to her
knowing that he was just using her as a distraction from Sakura. Fortunately
Hinata seemed to understand, he could see it in her eyes when he was leaving
earlier today.
Cursing himself, Naruto buried his face into his dirty
hands, why did he have to fall for a girl like Sakura? She was abusive, rude,
beautiful, and not interested in Naruto one bit...but he loved her, as much as
he tried to lie to himself, her angelic face kept popping into his head.
Damnit! he cursed, tears
leaking from his eyes into his soil-covered hands. The clouds grew darker, the rain would come soon, a rare event for Konoha
which remained sunny most of the year. Well at least the plants will get the
attention they need... tears now flowing out of his eyes. Despite
everything he had done....nothing had changed.
Naruto jumped as a voice called from across the rooftop.
"Naruto-kun?" Naruto panicked as the pink-haired
head of Sakura appeared over the edge of the rooftop.
How did she manage
to find me up here?! Jumping to his feet he quickly wiped the tears from
his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket, he face
emerged from his arm with his usual grin. "Sakura-chan! I thought you were
with Lee?"
"Oh um, yea that didn�t work out, I'm not going out
with him anymore..."
Naruto cocked his head, confused, "Oh?"
Sakura looked at her feet, "Yea, Lee is a great guy
but he's just not my type.." quickly changing the
subject she inquired about the surrounding garden, "So, who did all of
this? Its all very beautiful!"
Naruto's grin grew larger, She
likes it! "Aw now you've spoiled the surprise! This was for your
birthday; well I guess I'll just have to give it to you now! Happy Birthday
Sakura-chan!" He nervously chuckled. Sakura looked shocked,
"You did this? For me?" she asked, walking
closer to him. Naruto jumped up, hands on his hips,
"Yep!" the fox boy proclaimed, "I started
in December, it was supposed to be a gift for Christmas but I guess it took me
longer than that to get it ready, so it turned into a birthday gift I
guess" he nervously laughed, rubbing the back of his head.
Konoha is usually warm in the winters even, but we had
a rough on this year...it would have been nearly impossible to keep a garden
this size alive...he must have worked himself to the bone for this. Sakura
thought to herself. "Naruto, why did you do this for me? I'm always so
mean to you, why would you do this much for me? Why do you always do so much
for me?!"
Naruto was shocked, Sakura never talked about how she
mistreated him, much less paid much attention to his efforts to make her happy.
"Naruto?" she repeated
Because I want to make you happy. I want to see you
smile again like you used to, even if it was at Sasuke. Because even though you
mistreat me, and punch me, and take me for granted.. I
would do anything for you... because as much as I wish I could deny it....I
love you. Naruto couldn�t bring his thoughts to words though, not now, not
after everything that had happened... The heavens seemed to open up and cry for
Naruto as the rain began to fall. It splashed down onto the two, the cool water
running down their faces.
"Sakura, we should go inside, I don't want you to
catch a cold..." Said Naruto, turning to the roof access door. Sakura
grabbed his wrist preventing him from moving any further,
"S-Sakura-chan?" he stuttered, turning around.
"Please...don't go" she whispered, looking down
at the bench. Naruto moved closer, concerned, only to realize that the rain
wasn�t the only thing running down Sakura's face. Tears poured from her eyes,
"Why Naruto? Why do you care so much? I always pushed you away when you
tried only harder to make me happy, to keep my safe and comfortable. I
called you annoying and stupid and shoved you out of the way while ever obsessing
over Sasuke who never cared for me like you did." Naruto's eyes softened
as he stared caring at the sobbing girl, still fiercely holding onto him.
"When you started going out with Hinata I thought I would be overjoyed,
but then I realized, as annoying and bothersome as you were...I missed it. I
missed having you around, always asking if I was ok or trying to keep me safe.
You made me feel warm inside, even after Sasuke left us, you still stood by me,
doing whatever it took to try and brighten my day. When you left I realized
that what I missed wasn�t Sasuke...it was you Naruto, stupid antics and
all."
Naruto sighed, "Sakura..." a newfound softness
in his voice. Reaching out he pulled Sakura against his chest, his arms slowly
folding around he back. Sakura blinked, her hands slid up between his arms,
clutching the front of his jacket as she nuzzled her face into his chest.
Blinking, she closed her eyes as the tears stopped flowing, and for the first
time in as long as she can remember, despite the freezing rain, she felt truly
safe and warm. A seemingly eternity passed with the two standing there, holding
one another, but it still wasn�t enough for Sakura.
"Sakura?" Whispered Naruto
"No...don't go yet" She
whispered back
"Sakura." he repeated again. She looked up at
him, green eyes still wet, sparkling in the faint
light from the surrounding village as the rain washed away the remnants of her
tears. "I left Hinata earlier today..."
Sakura's eyes widened, her heart skipping a beat,
"Why Naruto?"
Naruto smiled, taking his hand against Sakura's cheek, the
dirt already cleansed from his hand by the rain. "Because I love you
too," he whispered as he leaned in, kissing her quivering lips.
Sakura inhaled quickly, overtaken by the sensation of
Naruto against her. She didn�t know what to think, overcome by what he had just
whispered in her ear�we was right though, she did love him, and she didn't even
realize it till this moment, till this kiss. She didn�t know how or when it
happened, but she loved him. The way he made her feel, the way he looked at her
adoringly, the way he touched her, ever so gently...it was so perfect. Closing
her eyes, her body sank unto him as she bathed in the sensation of his lips
against hers.
This is...exactly what it should feel like she
happily thought to herself as the two's lips slowly worked against each other,
rain washing over them.
Their lips parted, but their foreheads and tips of their
noses still gently hugged each other.
"Baka.."
Sakura said happily. Naruto returned with a smile. "But you're my baka" she giggled as she pulled herself into his lips
again. His hand found the small of her back as her arms slid up and around his
neck, pulling the two lovers even closer together. Their kisses came slow and
gentle like the soothing rain, and for a moment everything faded away. Naruto
and Sakura held each other in a field of flowers and nothing else matter for
that one moment.
Sakura finally fell from his lips and cuddled against his
chest, slowly drifting asleep. Naruto, afraid that he would soon awake from
this wonderful dream, buried his face into the top of Sakura�s hair, smiling as
he smelt her sweet scent, assuring him that this was all very much real. He
felt Sakura relying more and more on his arms to keep her standing and decided
to take her inside to put her to bed as to not carry her through the rain to
her house. Besides, he figured she wouldn�t mind sleeping in his bed for the
night if he slept on the couch in the next room. Removing his hand from her
face he slipped it down, turning her to her side and scooping her up into his
arms. Sakura still clung to Naruto with her arms around his neck and nuzzled
her face into his chest like a child to a parent. He made his way to the roof
access door, clumsily trying to push it open with his foot. After a few failed
attempts the hatch swung open and Naruto descended into the stairwell below.
They were both dripping wet and in no condition to fall
asleep in wet clothes so Naruto tried to maneuver into the bathroom without
smashing Sakura�s head on the doorframe. Once safely inside, Naruto sat on the
end of the tub, Sakura curled up in his lap. He smiled as her eyes fluttered
open gazing back at his own. Sakura smiled, realizing that it felt like looking
into a mirror when looking into his eyes, like he truly understood her, and
then some. He took a towel in hand, gently wiping away the water from her face
and hair. Sakura couldn�t stop giving into his eyes, so realized that she never
really took a close look at his eyes, and now that she was, it felt like he was
looking into her soul, and she didn�t want to look away. They were deep and
blue, full of sorrow but with unsurpassable hope. Her hand touched his face
much like his had to hers only a while ago as she kissed him again, causing his
eyes to tear up, overcome with happiness.
�Sakura-chan,� he smiled, draping a large towel around her
shoulders, �You need to get out of those wet clothes and get you dried off, or
you really will get sick.�
Sakura groggily looked up at Naruto, �Could you help me?
I�m really tired��
Naruto turned a brilliant shade of red, looking away he scratched
his cheek, �Well if you really want, I can help...� Sakura managed to unbutton
her shirt after Naruto pulled off her shoes, trying best he could to look away
as Sakura shrugged off her shirt, wrapping the towel around her. Naruto turned
even brighter red when her shorts and underwear dropped to the floor around
her.
Shaking off the rush of blood to his face, Naruto took
Sakura, now wrapped in a towel, into his arms once again. Gently rubbing the
towels around Sakura; wiping away the remains of the cool rain from her perfect
form.
Sakura was taken in, she let
herself go in Naruto�s strong arms. Her entire world seemed different tonight,
and it was a change she hoped would last. Tonight she wanted to feel warm in
his arms, it didn�t matter anymore, any reservations she had, any broken memories had all been washed away in the rain of
water and kisses.
With her smooth body warm and dry, Naruto draped his robe
about her shoulders and the now-wet towel dropped to the floor. She cooed
softly as Naruto once again scooped her up, she buried her face in his chest
again as he carried her to the bedroom. Laying her down on his bed, Naruto
pulled the warm sheets and blanket over her but she still moaned from the lack of
Naruto against her.
Naruto left the room, going into the bathroom to strip off
his clothes and hang them in the bathtub to dry. Ruffling his hair he stared
blankly into the mirror, the whole situation finally sinking in. Naruto smiled
deeply, holding back from yelling out in joy, but he kept Sakura�s sleep in
mind. Wrapping a towel around his bare waist he made his way back into the
bedroom, quietly rummaging though his drawer he found a fresh pair of boxers,
pulling them on under the towel which soon after dropped to the floor. Looking
over at Sakura, moonlit through rain covered glass, Naruto let out a sigh of
happiness. Walking over quietly he leaned down, kissing her forehead. Everyone
always made fun of Sakura�s wide forehead but Naruto always loved it, it made
her unique, which added to her beauty.
As he turned to walk away he felt a familiar grip on his
wrist, turning around Sakura, eyes still closed, "Please...don't go"
she whispered. Naruto blinked unsure what to do for a moment.
�Ok Sakura-chan� he whispered back. Naruto climbed under
the sheets next to the sleeping beauty. Touching his forehead to hers and
nuzzling his nose beside hers, her warm breath dancing across his lips. Naruto
smiled as his arms laced around Sakura�s sleeping form as she softly moaned,
moving closer to him. Naruto nuzzled his face closer and drifted off to sleep.
