Later
that evening Naruto stood outside the Haruno residence.� He was trying not to sweat bullets as he
composed himself for the evening ahead.�
He had picked another of the new outfits Sakura had helped him buy which
consisted of a pair of khakis and a navy blue dress shirt.� He�d left his headband at home so his
shaggy, blond hair hung down over his forehead.

�Jeez,
my hands are soaked, and I feel like there�s a rock in my throat,� he groaned
inwardly.

�Kit,
you have the same feeling that every man who goes to meet his girl�s parents
has.� If you feel like that it means
you�re ready for this.� Just be yourself
but do try and have some manners while eating.�

�Thanks
a lot, hairball, some friend you are,� and his comment drew a laugh from the
fox inside him.

Finally,
he managed to swallow the lump in his throat and knocked on the front
door.� As it opened, he came face to
face with Sakura�s father.� The older
man stared at him with a neutral expression, and Naruto figured he might as
well say something.

�Hello,
Mr. Haruno,� he managed to croak out and bowed slightly in respect.

�Hello,
Naruto, please come in,� and he moved aside.

Naruto
entered the Haruno residence and did a quick survey of his surroundings.� He had been here before but never for any
length of time.� Sakura�s father showed
to their dining room and stated that they would be having dinner shortly.� They passed by the kitchen on the way there,
and Naruto�s nose picked up a scent that was utterly delicious.� Sakura�s mother saw him and gave him a slight
smile.

�Good
evening, Naruto.�

�Good
evening, ma�am,� and he gave a slight bow as Sakura�s father stood next to him.

�I
hope you came hungry, my boy; Sakura told me how much you can eat so I made
plenty of food,� she said with a small grin.

Naruto
blushed heavily and scratched the back of his head nervously.� He watched Sakura�s mother putter around the
kitchen for a few moments, and he let his thoughts wander.� He saw where his mate has received her pink
hair from, and her mother was a stunning woman for her age.� From her profile and actions, it was easy to
see she was a former kunoichi, and her body was womanly yet slim.� Naruto imagined how Sakura would look in
twenty years, and he knew that he was a very lucky man.

�Ah,�
a sharp gasped drew his attention, and time seemed to slow down as his senses
kicked in.

Sakura�s
mother had been carrying a large pot from the stove to the counter when she had
slipped on some liquid that had dripped onto the floor.� Her hands went flying upwards to trying and
catch herself sending the pot in the opposite directions.� Naruto�s battle instincts kicked in and
within a half second his fingers formed a familiar handsign.

A
few seconds later, Mrs. Haruno got a hold of herserlf; she expected to be lying
on her kitchen floor in a heap.�
However, she was leaning back against someone, and she turned her head
to see Naruto behind her.� He�d caught
her!

�Are
you alright, ma�am?� he asked as he helped her stand up again.

�Yes
Naruto, thank you,� she replied with a smile of gratitude.

�Dear,
are you sure you�re fine?� her husband asked worriedly.

�I�m
fine, but I just ruined most of dinner,� she groaned as she realized she�d sent
the pot flying across the kitchen.

�Um�excuse
me�Mrs. Haruno, but it�s still alright,� came a voice.

The
older woman turned to see a second Naruto standing in the opposite direction
holding the pot she�d thrown and everything was still in it.� He set it down on the counter carefully, and
her smile just grew.

�Naruto�how�what��

Both
Narutos scratched their heads nervously and chuckled.

�When
I heard you gasp and saw what happened, I immediately made a shadow clone to
catch the pot while I caught you,� the real Naruto explained.

Both
of the elder Harunos looked at him in amazement.

�Naruto�your
speed is incredible.� How did you do
that so fast?� Mr. Haruno said in astonishment.

�It
really wasn�t anything special; any ninja could have done it,� he replied.

�Thank
you, Naruto,� Mrs. Haruno said warmly.

�You�re
welcome.� Glad I could help.�

�Hey�what
was the noise I heard from in here?� came a voice from the opposite hallway.

Naruto�s
eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets as he took in the goddess before
him.� There, wearing a sexy, short,
black dress that did wonders for her body, stood his cherry blossom.� Her hair was pulled up slightly in a stylish
arrangement, and she had on a tiny hint of makeup.

�Sorry
sweetie, I slipped on some water that I dribbled on the floor and almost sent
dinner flying across the kitchen.�
Thankfully, Naruto caught me and the pot before it was ruined,� her
mother explained.

Sakura
smiled widely as she shifted her eyes to look at her beloved, and she found
both Narutos staring at her in utter awe.�
He was dumbstruck by her, and she smiled internally at how beautiful he
made her feel just by looking at her.

�Wow!�
they both gawked with their jaws on the floor.

The
pinkette smirked at her beloved and walked over to the original one.� She placed her finger under his chin and
closed his mouth which managed to get his brain working again.� The clone disappeared in a puff of smoke,
and Naruto shook his head to clear his thoughts.

�Sakura-chan�you
look�just�wow�� he stuttered incoherently.

�Thank
you, Naruto, you�re so eloquent,� she teased and kissed his cheek.� He blushed slightly and picked up her
hand.� Placing a soft kiss against her
fingers, his eyes told her everything he was feeling.

�Come
on, baka, let�s go sit down,� and she led him out of the kitchen towards the
dining room.

�Well�looks
like he is quite taken with our little Sakura, isn�t he?� Mrs. Haruno said
while trying not to chuckle.

�How
do you know that, dear?� her husband asked her.

�Don�t
you remember, you had that same dopey expression on your face on our first
date.�

�I
did not!� he protested, but his wife just smiled at him warmly, and he knew she
was right.

Dinner
had been wonderful, and Naruto had actually behaved himself while eating.� Of course, it didn�t stop him from polishing
off three servings of Sakura�s mother�s teriyaki chicken and rice.� He was stuffed to the gills, and now the
four of them sat in the living room.�
Sakura sat next to him on one couch while her parents sat across from
them on another couch.

�I
have a question for you, Naruto, but don�t take it the wrong way?� Mr. Haruno
asked him.

�I
will answer as truthfully as I can, sir.�

�Tell
me, what is it about my daughter that attracted you?� What makes you think you are in love with her?�

�Dad!�
Sakura gasped in outrage.� How could he
ask a question like that?� Naruto had
done so much for her; he knew that!

�I�ll
answer the question,� Naruto said firmly, and his mate looked at him in shock.

�There
isn�t only one thing that makes Sakura attractive to me.� I�ve admired and adored her since we were
younger.� I knew that she had a crush on
Sasuke when she was younger, and I accepted that, but I at least wanted to try
and be her friend.� I can remember when
I was about seven years old, and I saw a bunch of kids making fun of Sakura because
they thought she had a big forehead.�

The
pinkette instantly remembered that moment, and it was where Ino had given her
that stupid nickname from.

�I
saw them laughing at her and then they just left her alone all by herself.� She started crying, and no one came to find
her � not her teachers, her friends, no one.�
Eventually, she cried herself to sleep right there on the ground.� I knew what she was feeling; she felt like
she was all alone without anyone caring about her.� I was born like any normal child, but the circumstances surrounding
my birth caused me to be looked at like a freak by everyone in this
village.� Parents would tell their
children not come near me because I was different and not worth their
time.� I knew what it was like to be
completely alone, and I�d be damned before I let someone else suffer like
that.�

Naruto
stopped for a moment to compose himself, and Sakura put her hand on his
thigh.� She had no idea that he has
witnessed what had happened to her back then.�
What shocked her even more was that her parents were nearly frozen in
place.� They were staring at Naruto with
a very odd expression and wouldn�t look her in the eye.� She stopped her thoughts when Naruto
continued his tale.

�Despite
my age, I was still pretty strong, and Sakura didn�t weigh much so I managed to
carry her back towards the school building.�
Unfortunately, not many of the instructors liked me very much so when
they saw me carry her inside they got very angry at me.� They yelled at me and accused me of trying
to hurt her.� When I tried to explain to
them what happened, one of them slapped me across the face and told me to �get
out�.�

Sakura
nearly felt her heart break as she listened to him.� Why�why did he have to go through so much pain?� Dammit, what kind of sick people would do
that to a small boy?

�I
am sorry for the long explanation, sir, but I believe it would be best if you
heard the whole history between Sakura and myself.� It wasn�t until after the ninja academy that I saw much of Sakura
again.� I was ecstatic that I got to be
on her team, but I know she wasn�t very happy about it.� Back then, I know she thought I was annoying
cause all I did was play pranks on people and did stupid things,� he said with
a slight chuckle.

Sakura
managed to smile despite her somber mood.�
No matter how she was feeling, Naruto always managed to make her smile
somehow.

�I�m
sure that she�s told you about our various adventures on Team 7 so I won�t bore
you with all the details.� I do remember
one instance though where I saw Sakura�s spirit and determination.� Ero-sennin and I had just come back to the
village with Tsunade, and she went to the hospital to help Sasuke, and the
others who were hurt during a recent battle.�
I saw Sakura sitting next to his bed.�
She had been bringing flowers to his room each day and hoping that he
would somehow wake up.� Sasuke had never
really hinted that he cared about her and wanted to be with her, but it didn�t
stop her from trying.� I can still remember
how hard you cried when you saw his eyes open, Sakura-chan; I thought you were
going to crush him you hugged him so hard.�
At that moment, a part of me began to understand that as much as I might
hope for it, you would never cry over me.�
I knew that I wasn�t needed there any longer so I left you two alone.�

�Why
didn�t you tell me about this?� Sakura gasped with tears in her eyes.

Naruto
turned to his mate and wiped the moisture from her cheeks.� His eyes were not angry or hateful towards
her; they still held every bit of warmth towards her.

�Sakura-chan,
you followed your heart; I couldn�t fault you for that.�

Mrs.
Haruno had trouble controlling her emotions as she listened to the young man
speak.� She could practically feel the
emotions in his words as he poured his heart out.

�After
Sasuke left the village, I was assigned to the team who was supposed to
retrieve him, and Sakura came to see me at the gates of the village.� She told me that she had tried to talk to
Sasuke, but he�d left anyway.� I
remember watching the tears roll down her cheeks, and I was feeling conflicting
emotions at that point.� A part of me
wanted to bring Sasuke back so Sakura wouldn�t cry anymore while another part
of me wondered if maybe she would notice me if he wasn�t around anymore.� My decision was made when she told me I was
the only one who could bring Sasuke back.�
I told her that I knew exactly how it felt to love someone and have them
totally ignore you.� I didn�t wait for
her response; I just promised that I would bring him back.�

Sakura
wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.� She was the luckiest woman in the world to have this man love
her.

�Even
though we didn�t get Sasuke to come back here that time, it didn�t stop Sakura
and I from trying.� I left on a training
trip with Ero-sennin to improve myself, and Sakura became Tsunade�s
apprentice.� So�what does all this have
to do with how I feel about Sakura?� To
be honest, I don�t know if it explains anything about my feelings for her; I
just simply know what I feel.� I love
her simply because�she�s Sakura; that�s as simple as I can make it.�

He
received another hug from his mate, and she her head on his shoulder.

�And
I love you, simply because�you�re my baka,� she said tenderly.

Sakura
looked at her two parents and saw the respect and slight awe in their eyes as
they stared at her beloved.� Naruto
didn�t sugarcoat things; he spoke simply and plainly.

�Mom�Dad�I
know that people in this village think that Naruto is this horrible monster,
but he�s not!� Sometimes, I can�t
understand how he can still love me after how miserable I made him when we were
younger, but I�m thankful that he�s the most stubborn man that I know.� He never gave up on me, and I know that he
never will.� I�ve learned that life
isn�t a fairy tale.� It�s about
experiencing joy, happiness, pain, sorrow, love, hate, and everything in
between.� I know that our lives aren�t
going to be perfect, but I do know that we�ll both do whatever we can to make
each other happy.� I�m going to say this
simply � just like he did; it�s same thing that I told shishou before she let
me go to Suna.� I can�t be Sakura
without Naruto; I can�t be me without this wonderful idiot by my side.�

He
wrapped his arm around her shoulder and squeezed her gently.

�I
will always be here for you, Sakura-chan � no matter what.�

The
two elder Harunos looked at one another, and each took a deep breath.� Mr. Haruno was the first to break the
silence.

�I
can hear the strength of both your convictions as well as your feelings for
each other.� I can�t say that this sits
well with me entirely right now, but I won�t try and stop you two,� he said
simply.

�What
about you, mother?� Sakura prodded.

�I
feel the same as your father.� I had
hoped that you might attract the attention of someone with an established
family, but I see how serious you are about this.� If I tried to stop you, I have no doubt that you�d never speak to
me again, and I don�t want to lose my daughter.�

Naruto
nudged Sakura slightly, and he drew something out of his shirt.� She grinned at what he was holding and
nodded her head.

�Mother,
I appreciate you letting me make my own decision about this, but I think I have
some news that will cheer you up.�

The
pinkette took one of the documents and handed it to her mother.� Mrs. Haruno read over it, and her eyes shot
open as she saw that it was in fact a marriage certificate.

�You
two are married!� she gasped, and Mr. Haruno gawked.

�Legally,
yes,� Sakura replied simply.

�How
could you do this without asking us?� her father demanded.

�I
believe we have already answered that question.� Besides, why don�t the two of you take a look at the names on
it.�

The
two parents looked at the bottom of the document, and it read �Sakura Haruno�
�Naruto Namikaze�.

�Namikaze�why
do I know that name?� her mother asked then her eyes widened again.

�Yes,
mother, it is exactly as you think.� The
man sitting next to me is Naruto Namikaze � son of the fourth Hokage.�

�How
is this possible?� her father nearly stuttered.

Naruto
and Sakura spent the next short while explaining about Naruto�s heritage and
what truly caused the Kyuubi incident from twenty years.� They left out the part about the fox spirits
cohabitating with them for now.� Mrs.
Haruno was flabbergasted over the news, and her attitude towards their marriage
changed quite drastically.� Mr. Haruno
was still objected slightly, but that was just because Sakura was his only
child.

�Mom,
please, don�t tell anybody about this yet.�
Naruto and I will anounce this publicly when we feel it is right, but we
wanted to let the two of you know first.�
I wasn�t really planning on telling you all this tonight, but I�m not
sorry that I did.�

About
an hour later, Naruto and Sakura left the Haruno residence after saying their
goodbyes and headed back for her apartment.

�Well�that
went well�I guess,� Naruto croaked out.

�Yes�it
was rather interesting, but at least, my parents didn�t freak out about us
being together.�

�I
can�t wait to climb into bed and sleep; I�m exhausted.�

�That�s
because you ate too much, baka,� Sakura teased.

The
two lovers laughed and joked with each other all the way back.

Unlocking
her front door, Sakura entered her apartment she shared with Ino, and Naruto
followed her to her room.� A letter was
tape to her bedroom door, and a small note was attached to it.

�Hey
forehead,
��
�� Gaara left this for Naruto; it�s his
schedule for the Chuunin exams tomorrow.�

Naruto
immediately took the letter and ripped it open.� His eyes browsed through it, and they widened as his eyes took in
the name of his first opponent.� A small
smirk crossed his lips and made Sakura very curious.

�Well�I
see Baa-chan isn�t going to make this easy on me.�

�Who�s
your first opponent tomorrow,� his mate prodded.

Naruto
handed her the letter, and Sakura was just as surprised to the see name of his
first opponent tomorrow � Kakashi Hatake.

Author�s Notes:� Hey
guys, kinda a short chapter for not updating for so long, but this was one of
those chapters where I got bored halfway through writing it.� Next time, though, the action starts, and I promise,
they�re will be a few surprises and unexpected plot additions.
