Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ After a Midnight Meeting: The sequel ❯ Helping Sakura ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Hinata was a Lucky girl, her man loved her and was there for her. And Sakura’s man had not returned…and with the way things looked it seemed like Sasuke would never come back to her.
Sakura’s pillow was soaked with tears. Resting on the pillow was a picture of her and Sasuke, buried in the pillow was Sakura’s pretty head. She was crying. When she lifted her head and saw the picture of Sasuke, he wailed and threw her head back down into the softness to soak it with more tears.
Sakura could not help but feel that Sasuke would never return, and if he did, he would not love her…She wished her healing jutsu could mend a broken heart.

After the night of crying herself to sleep, she went to her summer job at the Yamanaka Flower Shoppe. She worked with Ino’s family to earn a little extra money. Though the night had passed and Sakura’s face had become less puffy, Ino could not help but notice Sakura’s mood.
“Sakura, this is a flower Shoppe, try to be a bit more cheery” Ino said, smiling. Sakura sighed.
“Sakura, is something wrong?” Ino asked, her expression turning from a cheery to sympathetic.
“Ino…it’s gotten so hard to wait for him to come back. I don’t know if it will ever happen” Sakura’s lip quivered and she held back a sob.
“oh no…we’d better take a short break” Ino set up the ‘gone for lunch’ sign and sat herself next to Sakura, putting an arm around her to comfort her. “you’re thinking about Sasuke huh?”
A single tear ran from Sakura’s eye and down her cheek “yes”
“how about we try to get your mind off Sasuke for a while, take the day off today” Ino said.
“you mean it?” Sakura said.
“yeah, it’s hard waiting for someone you love, go home and take a long bath”
Sakura smiled “okay”

Sakura walked home with her uneaten lunch in hand. She passed by Hinata while walking down a main street.
“hey Sakura!” Hinata called to her.
“hello Hinata, how’s it going?” Sakura responded.
“I’m good, Just doing a little grocery shopping” said Hinata.
“how is Naruto?” asked Sakura.
“He’s very good, we’re doing well” Hinata looked at the ground and blushed.
Sakura sighed “that’s good to know”
“is something the matter Sakura?” Hinata asked.
Sakura sighed again “it’s the whole Sasuke deal, Naruto has probably told you about it”
“yes, I know about Sasuke…I know it’s hard, I had to deal with Naruto missing too” Hinata said.
“yeah…” Sakura sighed, then she smiled “hey Sakura, would you like to come over and stay the night? Just us girls?”
Hinata thought for a moment, but she agreed.
“okay, I’ll leave a note for Naruto” she smiled.
Hinata went to her home to get her things, bathroom stuff, pajamas (the warm cotton variety, not the satin ones she had for Naruto), and left her note for Naruto on the front door.
“okay ready” Hinata went to Sakura’s home to spend the night.
Hinata and Sakura spread out their bedrolls on the floor of the living room and plugged in a movie to watch. Once the couple of hours the movie had taken up passed, Sakura knew her parents were good and asleep.
“so what should we do now?” asked Hinata, having never really been to a sleepover before.
“hm…” Sakura thought very hard for a moment “okay, remember when I was helping you get ready for Naruto to come home?”
“yes, I remember that” Hinata said “and we agreed that I would do the same thing when Sasuke came back”
“I know, Sakura smiled” I just wanted to make sure you remembered. Hinata giggled.
“you two have been living together for a while…how far have you two gotten?” Sakura asked, blushing a little. Hinata blushed a little in return.
“well, we share a bed, but we’ve never gone all the way” Hinata admitted. Sakura looked away from Hinata and smiled.
“well…when it does come to that for you and Naruto…could you tell me about it?” Sakura blushed madly, she couldn’t believe she was saying what she was saying.
Hinata blushed to almost a bloody shade of red “is that proper?”
“I think if it’s just us girls talking about it. If I asked Naruto I’m sure he would brag and boast about it” Sakura said. Hinata brushed her hair out of her eyes.
“well…Naruto wants to, but he knows that I’m not ready yet…it may be a long time before I am” Hinata smiled “who knows, I might not even need to tell you” Hinata and Sakura smiled.
“so, is Naruto really insistent about it?” Sakura said.
“no, not really, but sometimes he can be a handful with it” Hinata giggled.
“well, men, you know how they are” they laughed and smiled. “sometimes I think that we really don’t need them.”
“what do you mean?” Hinata asked.
“well, with their sweaty bodies…that awful facial hair and their machismo…men just aren’t that appealing if you think about it” Sakura looked at Hinata and grinned, crawling toward her a little “it’s hard to find one that really knows how to love a girl the right way”
Their bodies were very close, Sakura was almost on top of Hinata.
“those men…we don’t need them…” Sakura said.
“Sakura, what are you doing?” Hinata said. Sakura moved her face into Hinata’s and kissed her.
Hinata found the sensation different from when kissing Naruto, Sakura’s lips were much softer then his, and she smelled nice too. Cherry scented shampoo. Sakura reached around Hinata and parted her lips a little, teasing Hinata with her tongue.
Hinata pushed her away. “Sakura! What are you doing?”
“I was just thinking…I really don’t know what came over me” Sakura shook her head and looked at the floor.
“Sakura, I know it’s hard. But Neither Naruto or Sasuke would be happy if we did that” Hinata said.
Sakura put her hand on her head. “I’m sorry Hinata”
“it’s alright” Hinata put her arm around Sakura “but let’s save out first times for our boyfriends? Okay?”
Sakura smiled “okay”
“now let’s go to sleep”

I finally feel like I’m not wasting my time watching Naruto…because I can finally prove in my head without a doubt (OMFG SPOILER ALERT!) Naruto and Hinata do in fact get together. If you want my proof, E-mail me.
So ya. My passion for writing has been rekindled…expect more from me.
