Sakura was very uneasy. She lied down in the grass and closed her eyes wanting to go to sleep, but just wasn't able to. She sat up straight and howled.

Naruto walked towards Sakura. Then said "Sakura. It's Ok. Saske(i have no idea how to spell it) died and you didn't have anything to do with it." Naruto nuzzled her cheek. "Remember, while i'm here i'll take care of you. Got it? I won't let anything happen. I'll die for you if i have to" he lied down then said "Remember, i'm a spirit, not alot can hurt me. Try,bite as hard as you can"

"I.. I'm not going to bite you. Naruto just leave me alone, I don't feel like talking right now, I just want to be alone!" Sakura said very sadly and angrily.

Naruto said "Ok but i'm not leaving you. I'll be in a tree if you need me." Naruto hopped from limb to limb till he got to his spot,worn with a gentle imprint. There he waited. He called "Sakura,remember i'm here."

Sakura didn't want him there. She just wanted him gone, to be alone. She looked to the tree where he had gone and stared for a moment, then got up turned away and closed her eyes. She just wanted it to go away, everything to just dissappear, but she knew that just wouldn't happen.

Naruto saddened just sat there and ran away. As he did he mumbled "I was just trying to help."

She watched as Naruto started to walk away, "Wait, don't leave me!" she cried out. Sakura was amazed at the words that just came out of her mouth. Hadn't she just wanted him to leave, but now wanted him to stay. Her feelings for him were mixed up. She couln't understand them, they were confusing her. She shook her head trying to get her feelings straight, but couldn't. She turned the other way and began to run away.

Naruto, now beggining to get confused ran after her. he said " It's Ok Sakura, I'll wait for a day or 2. You know for it to sink in.How about that?"

Sakura slowed to a stop and looked at him. "Naruto?" She looked him deep in the eyes. Then said, " I want you to stay with me. I've been foolish. I never saw the real you. I just payed attention to Sasuke, always mean to you. Why do you forgive me time after time?." She then looked to the ground and said, "Will you stay with me?"

Naruto, though his heart burst with joy walked away. Then said "I'm sorry. My heart can't break again."
But then realising his mistake he said with a playful voice. "Sure. I'll stay with you forever. And don't worry, I'll watch you forever." "That was easy." [umm in italisize it means a thought.]

"Really?" she said happily. "Naruto, I..." she let the sentence trail. Then finished it," love you" she nuzzled him.

Naruto felt a pang in his heart. He knew the feeling the feeling. "It's...love." "i thought i'd never feel it again!" He said " Me too i thought i lost it when mom and dad died."

"You can never lose love" Sakura said with a little smile. "Naruto, do you know where there is any water around here?" ,she asked, im exhausted and thirsty, and hungry" she added.

Naruto thought a little and said "Yeah, on the way here i saw a stream. It was beautiful! All shiny and blue. It looks sweet. But, it's for you. If we become mates let's have the den there." Naruto licked sakura on the muzzle and said " Thanks. It's just i thought i'd never feel it again. My 2 sisters died to." naruto sobbed a bit.
(why not? He's an orphan. In naruto he ain't got no siblings, but who knows he could and they died.)
" I only had 1 friend. Garuunto(pronounced Gu-rune-to) when i had my first bloodlust he was there. When my sisters perished because of a sicknesse in the land he was there. When I-I killed him, I almost killed myself."
He sat and perked up " At least i know a sister from an earlier breeding still lives." Naruto said "Come on, i'll show you the stream." (I have something cool that happens at the stream.)

Sakura said, "Ok, i'm coming, thank you."
