The rain continued to fall and i watched it as it fell from outside the gate, afraid
to walk in. "Your too late" a voice from behind me called.
I turned to face a dark figure. "How am I to late" I called out to the stranger.
"Shes over you now...Sauske-kun" Naruto approached me from the shadows.
"Just as I thought its you Naruto-kun" sauske smerked at Naruto and crouched down to
sit turned towards the village. "You know Sauske-kun, if your really back for a while she'll see you sometime" Naruto emphisized "Yeah I know I just need some time"

A vioce rounded the corner that Sauske found all to familiar.He quickly ducked
behind a tree.
"Naruto-kun are you there"
Naruto jumped down out of the tree Sauske was hiding behind.
"Yup i'm here do you need something?" he asked Sakura
"No,but who were you talking to just now?"
"Oh!um,you heard that?It was,um.."

Naruto wheeled around to face the tree."It was uh, I was uh,talking to myself."


I stood frozen for a second before I decided to step out to face her.
After I did step out I felt three very diffrent emotions running though me at once.
The first I was expecting LOVE, but the second was unusual I felt a ton of GUILT
of which I was not used to, and third a need, a need to be with her and I think when
she saw me my face gave it all away, all of my emotions at once and she giggled some.

"Uh,Sakura-chan,I..."

"Sauske-kun"
Sakura said softly to herself. She folded her arms behind her as if to stop herself from
comming to me. Even so it irritated me.

I took a step forward.
"Why... do you..."

Sakura ran to me and wrapped her arms arround my neck.

"I've been waiting, two and a half years for you Uchiha Sauske, Naruto and I were just
earlier talking about again trying to find you. Instead you walk right to us."

I watched as the tears swelled up in her eyes.

"Do not cry Sakura-chan, not for me, please."
I pleaded with her but when she did not stop I wanted to help so I
leaned down and I know she felt my breath because her eyes shot open right before
I pressed my warm lips aginst hers and I watched her eyes slowly close again.
She grabbed at my shirt and even though I knew Naruto gas there I put my hands on
her thys and pulled her up to my waist.It felt like we stood kissing for hours,Sakura
gradually pulled away from me.

"I'm sorry Sauske-kun."

"IT's ok Sakura-chan because even though i left I came back because I Love You
Haruno Sakura more than you know" I stared deep into her blue eyes as she stared back

"I Love You Too, Uchiha Sauske,so so much"


After Naruto left we laid under the stars embracing one another and she soon
fell asleep in my arms. I did not want to disrupt her so I laid untill I
too fell asleep.
