Quick notes: I’ve decided to change my format a bit, any
author notes I might have will now reside at the bottom of future chapters,
whereas in the new quick notes section you will find spoiler information and
warnings about the upcoming chapter. As
well at the beginning of each chapter if I have them, I will place responses to
reviews.
Chapter Nine:
Morning Advice
Sleep is heavenly when you have a
good woman in your arms. Jiraiya once
told me that. At the time I thought he
was insane. Well that and trying to
spout his perverted ways. But he was
right. With Sakura in my arms sleep is
heavenly. I don’t want to get out of bed. She’s so soft and comfortable in my arms, I’m
not going to move until she wakes up.
The world can end and I won’t care, I am not getting out of this bed
with out my pink haired angel. Not even
that pressing feeling I have. The one that sort of feels like a full bladder. Oh man, it is a full bladder, I got to
pee! Alright, I’ll just get up, go pee
then slide back in bed and wait for Sakura to get up.
I opened my eyes to look down on
Sakura, and saw orange. A fat orange
lump is sitting in my arms. What is my
pillow doing in my arms? And why is
there a drool stain on it that looks to be six hours old? Wait, what time is it? Seven
AM! Where’s Sakura? Why is my pillow in my arms? I didn’t move in my sleep, and I know Sakura
was in my arms when I went to bed, so where is she?
Alright think Uzumaki think! Sakura came over here around 3 in the
morning. She kissed me and confessed she
loved me. Then she jumped me and we
started making out. That felt really
good, hanging in mid air suspended off my bed, making out with the girl of my dreams. Then she dropped on top of me with her knee
landing in my groin. Then those magical
fingers of hers massaged and healed me.
Those fingers, rubbing and kneading my hard- No! If I’m going to figure out what the hell
happened, then I need to focus. Okay so
after she stopped those wonderful actions with those amazing hands of hers.
Damnit man, stop it. After that, stuff, we went to bed. I know we both got in this bed. And I know I had my arms around her when we
went to sleep. So somehow she got out of
my arms and left my apartment before I woke up.
I can understand how she woke up before me and why she would too. Her shift at work started at six, so she’d
have to be up early any way. But
whenever I’ve fallen asleep with something in my arms I’ve never let it go
during my sleep, no matter what. So how
did she get away? It couldn’t have been
a substitution jutsu, because she would have had to have used it before we got
in bed, and she was happy I asked her to stay.
So she either got out of my arms and put a
pillow in her place or she was never here and I dreamed the whole thing. That would explain why I was holding a pillow
with a large drool stain. I grabbed it,
kissed it and made out with it all in my sleep.
Wait I made out with my
pillow! I’ve never done that when
dreaming of Sakura.
Just great, the best night of my
life and it was all a dream. A very pleasant dream but a dream nonetheless. This is quickly becoming a bad day. Bah, screw if it was a dream or not, if I
don’t get to a bathroom quick I’ll wet my bed.
That would certainly put this day in the running for worse day ever, and
it has barely even started yet. Guess
I’ll get up and relieve myself then.
Walking out of the bathroom, I
couldn’t help but wonder what to do for the day. And then my answer came
flying through the window. Literally.
“Yo Naruto!” And then promptly collided
with the far wall. I have to say
this for the man; he certainly can make an interesting entrance.
“What happened Pervy-Sage, did old lady Tsunade punch you for hitting on her
again?” Jiraiya seemed to sour over this
and grumbled something about her asking for it or something.
“She and I didn’t see eye to eye on
something, and she reacted violently.”
His tone meant drop it, which means I’ll ask Sakura about it later. She knows everything that goes on in that
office. “So I heard from Kakashi about
your new training. You’re starting when
he get’s out of the hospital, right?” I
nodded as I searched my room for a clean pair of pants. “Well, that’s good to hear.”
This is getting hopeless; I can’t
find any clean pants. I couldn’t help
but sigh. “Hey brat, what’s wrong?” I looked up at him ready to tell the old
pervert that it wasn’t any of his business, when I saw the caring look on his
face.
“Today is not going well at
all.” At this, his eyebrow raised. “It’s a long
story, trust me.”
“Problems with
Pinkie then?” I started to refute
him, but before I could utter a word he continued. “Don’t bother denying it Naruto. I know you too well, besides you only make
out with your pillow that much when you dream of her. Listen Naruto, I’m going to give you some
advice the old man gave me. And before
you go ignoring me or refuting my great wisdom.
I never followed this advice myself, and I’ve always sort of regretted
that. Now the old man, he was
smart. And one day when Tsunade turned
me down he told me. Well Naruto, he
basically told me to stop being an idiot and to stop bothering her.”
I was ready to yell. I was ready to scream! Hell I’m going to kick his ass so hard he
won’t be sitting down for years! And now
he has the guts to smile.
“At first I thought he meant that I
should give up. Which made me try
harder, which made her push me even farther away. The old man was really something. He wanted me to figure out what I should do
to get her to see me on my own.” Why is
he staring off at the wall like that?
It’s almost like he’s watching a movie.
“Looking back at it, I was an idiot.
And I really did bother her too much.
You see Naruto, sensei wasn’t telling me to stop going after her. He was saying that I had to stop the way I
was going after her, because it would never work. By the time I figured out his true meaning,
it was too late. Now Tsunade doesn’t
want to be with any man. She’s afraid,
afraid that she’ll get them hurt.
Basically Naruto, what I am saying is don’t stop going after the woman
you love because someone tells you you’re just bothering her. Change how
you go after her.” He looked at me, and
I guess he must have seen the confusion written across my face. “What I mean Naruto, is you need to grow
up.” At this he let out a big sigh. “If you really want to be with this woman
Naruto, you’re going to have to be mature.
Now I don’t mean you have to change everything about you to be like the
guys she seems to like. That would be
stupid and wouldn’t get you what you want.
What you need to do Naruto is to get her to notice you. To get her to think that
you are a good catch. If you can
get her to do that, then you can easily have her fall in love with you. So basically what the old man had meant was grow up and let her make the first move.”
Let her make the first move? I guess that would work. Sakura always did say my constant pleas for
dates were annoying. Maybe I should stop
asking her out? No I don’t think that
would be a good idea. Maybe I should
change how I ask, and how often. Instead
of asking her to dinner right after a long day of training, maybe I should ask
if she wants to do something on one of our days off.
“Uh hey, Jiraiya. Well I was wondering. Well seeing as how the old man gave you some
advice about women. Well what I mean is
that Sakura asked me out on a date tonight, and well I was wondering if you had
any advice for me.”
He looked at me long and hard. He stared deep into my eyes, so deep into my
soul I swear he was talking with that damn fox in his cage. “You lucky bastard. I’m going to tell you on piece if advice that
is going to help both you and me. Talk to Tsunade. That
woman trained Sakura; she’ll know something about her that should help
you. Besides that old hag loves you like
a son, she’ll help you even if it kills her.
Oh and Naruto, um is she asks why you’re coming to her for advice, well
if she does ask tell the truth, I said to do it.” He let out a great laugh then. “But if there is one thing I know she’s going
to tell you, it’s no ramen. Oh don’t
look down, I tell you what, meet me at Ichiraku’s at noon and I’ll treat you
the first 3 bowls of lunch.”
I looked up at him, grinned from
ear to ear and said to him. “I’ll see
you there, old man.”
As he
left I could distinctly hear Jiraiya muttering over his shoulder at me. “At least it’s better than Pervy-sage.”
Author notes: Well I
have some sad but happy news for you people, or at least I would hope you would
take it that way. I find it difficult to
announce that I will not be updating this story for a while. Now the reason for this is that I have
decided to start the companion tale to this one. At the moment I do not have a name in mind
for the new tale, but it will be quite similar to this one, just from Sakura’s
point of view and not Naruto’s. for those of you who fear I might abandon this fic. I am not going to do that. As soon as both stories are roughly at the
point, i.e. when Sakura wakes up the morning of this chapter, then I will
continue to update both fics as events occur.
My goal through this is to give everyone a better understanding of
Sakura’s actions, and at the same time get my reasons for why she does what she
does out of my head before I get so far ahead and forget about it.
And on a side note, I apologize for being such a tease.
