NaruSaku: Love Knows No Boundaries

Sakura walked groggily down the stairs, yawning, and rubbing her sleepy eyes with the heel of her palm. She walked into the kitchen, and started to make tea, like she did every morning. After filling the pot with water, she placed it on the stove, turned it on, and sat at the table to wait.

While waiting, she thought about what she should do today, since Kakashi-Sensei had given them the day off. The first thing that came to mind was Naruto. She hadn’t seen him since the carnival a few nights ago, which surprised her. She figured, after that kiss, he would be all about trying to get her to go out with him. Which she would eventually have to, after seeing their fortune in that pond, it was inevitable.

But it doesn’t have to happen now. she thought to herself. What would everyone else think if I dated him?

She rose to get her now ready tea, and thought about what it would be like to date Naruto. She certainly wouldn’t mind another one of those amazing kisses. Sakura sighed dreamily, pouring her tea into a cup. She headed back to the table, when she suddenly had a vision of her and Naruto getting married, and she found herself longing for it to happen.

Realizing what she was thinking, Sakura gasped, and dropped her cup of tea, which shattered loudly on the floor.

“Sakura? What happened?”

It was her mother, who had obviously heard the crash and came to investigate. She hurried to the source of the noise, where she found her pink-haired daughter standing in the middle of the kitchen, covering her mouth with her hands, and blushing slightly.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Did you burn yourself?”

Sakura turned her zoned gaze to her mother, and shook her head. She removed her hands from her mouth enough for her to talk, and blushed deeper.

“I think I’m in love, Mom…” she said quietly.

Sakura’s mom gaped at this, and then let out an ear-piercing squeal in delight. She bounced over to her daughter, and took her hands in her own, stars shining in her eyes.

“Really?! What’s his name? Is it still Sasuke?” she asked eagerly.

Sakura shook her head at the Sasuke bit. But she was concerned about telling her mom who it was.

If this is really how I feel, I have to be honest with everyone else, otherwise I’m just lying to myself. she decided.

“It’s Naruto…” she said, giving a weak smile. Her mother’s expression changed from excited, to confused, to angry all in an instant. She released Sakura’s hands and stood upright, her hands on her hips.

“You’re in love with that…that monster, that abomination, that-“

“MOTHER!!” Sakura screamed. She could feel tears forming in her eyes, knowing this would be everyone’s reaction to this newly discovered feeling.

“Sakura, how could you love a demon who has the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit in his body?! ………This is all a joke, isn’t it?” her mother asked in a slight desperate tone, hoping her daughter honestly hadn’t fallen for the boy. But to her horror, her hopes were shattered.

“I knew this is how you’d react…” Sakura said softly, tears flowing down her cheeks. “And this is how everyone else will react too!” With that, she ran upstairs to cry in her room.

Naruto was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling deep in thought, when the phone rang. He looked at it, slightly shocked. He hardly ever got phone calls. He got up and answered it.

“Hello?”

“Naruto? Hey…” It was Sakura. And she sounded sad and angry at the same time, which couldn’t be a good sign. Naruto felt afraid, but proceeded to talk.

“H-hey, Sakura. What’s up?”

“Uh…nothing much….Listen, could you meet me by the bridge in a little while? I need to talk to you about something…important…”

Uh-oh… he thought nervously. She’s gonna tell me that everything that happened at the carnival was a mistake!

“Uh…s-sure…” he said, feeling like he just agreed to be beaten by a very angry Sakura.

“Thanks, I’ll see you then.” Click. Naruto stood there, phone in hand, for a moment after Sakura hung up, before hanging up himself. he had a bad feeling about later.

When Sakura arrived at her meeting place with Naruto, she saw that he was already there, staring out at the river. She wondered how long he had been waiting for her as she approached him.

“Hey, Naruto…”

The boy turned at the mention of his name, and smiled at her. He tried to hide a blush, and his fear of what was going to happen.

“Hey. So, what did you want to talk about?” he asked, walking over to her. She looked briefly into his eyes, then looked away.

“R-remember everything that happened at the carnival…?”

Oh no…Here it comes… Naruto thought, nodding. She still wouldn’t look at him.

“Well…I-I’ve taken everything that h-happened there, a-and everything I’ve been feeling s-since then…and…” she trailed off.

“A-and…?” Naruto asked. Was she blushing?

“I-I’ve come to t-the conclusion that…” she said in a shaky voice.

“That what? What?” he asked eagerly. She finally looked up at him.

“I-I love you…”

Naruto froze. Did she really just say that? No, this must be some kind of joke. He waited for her to start laughing, but she didn’t. Was this a dream? No, couldn’t be- he could smell the same strawberry lip gloss she wore at the carnival from where he was standing. In a daze from all the confusion, Naruto’s face grew redder than ever before, and he fell over.

Sakura smiled nervously at his shocked reaction, and sat down, as lightly as she could, on his stomach. He must have gotten over his shock, because he grabbed her sides and pulled her down next to him, her legs still lying across his abdomen. They stared into each other’s eyes for a moment.

“I love you too, Sakura…” Naruto said, still blushing. “I have for a long time…”

Sakura smiled, also blushing, and leaned in to kiss him passionately. She didn’t care who knew anymore. She was in love with Naruto Uzumaki.

However, little did they know, they were being watched by their sensei, Kakashi. He was perched in a nearby tree, his book in hand.

“About time those two confess their feelings to each other.” he said, closing his book. “I just hope their fuzzy feelings don’t interfere with their training.”
