Chapter 2

 

Naruto walked up to Sakura front door and knocked on it, it was about ten o'clock in the morning, but Naruto didn't care, he had to make sure Sakura was ok… he cared about so much, if only she knew. When he left her yesterday, she was so sad. Naruto was going to make it his duty to look after Sakura and to make her happy again. Sakura answered the door she was still in her pajamas; she looked questionably at Naruto.

 

“Good morning, Sakura,” Naruto said, trying not to sound too happy, seeing that Sakura was still really depressed about Sasuke.

 

“What are you doing here Naruto?” Sakura asked, whipping her eyes from tiredness.

 

She was defiantly tired and depressed and it seemed like she had just gotten up to open the door for Naruto.

 

“I just wanted to see how you are doing… can I come in?” Naruto replied.

 

Sakura nodded her head.

 

“Umm… ok,” She said.

 

Naruto walked in and Sakura closed the door. Naruto looked around, by the couch there was a pile of photographs and photo albums. Naruto frowned. She was probably looking at old photographs of Sasuke and of team 7. Naruto looked at the fireplace; there was a whole bunch of brunt pictures in the fireplace too. Naruto sat down on the chair.

 

“So how are you doing anyway, Sakura?” Naruto asked.

 

“Yeah I'm ok,” Sakura said, not letting Naruto see her face.

 

Naruto frowned, he could tell that she was lying.

 

“Umm… well…ok then, do you want to go get something to eat?” Naruto asked, his plan was to really cheer Sakura up and this time he would be successful!

 

“Sure, whatever, I'll just go get changed first.” Sakura walked to her bedroom.

 

Naruto nodded his head.

 

“Ok… I can wait,” he replied.

 

Five minutes pasted and Sakura came out of her bedroom, dressed in her usual clothes, but she still with a sad face on.

 

“Let's go,” Sakura said.

 

Naruto and Sakura walked out of the house and walked down the street.

 

“So where do you want do go eat?” Naruto asked.

 

Sakura shrugged.

 

“Doesn't really matter, anywhere is ok with me” she said, looking at the ground.

 

“Are you sure?” Naruto asked.

 

“Yeah…I'm sure, go ahead and pick a place” Sakura replied.

 

“Umm… ok then, how about we go and get some ramen?” Naruto suggested.

 

“Ok, sure,” Sakura answered, only looking up for an instant and then looking down at the ground agin.

 

Naruto and Sakura walked into a ramen bar, sat down and got their ramen. Naruto tried to start a conversation.

 

“Umm… Sakura?” Naruto said.

 

Sakura looked at him.

 

“Yeah?” Sakura replied.

 

“I was just wondering… are you going with anybody to the Sakura Festival?” Naruto asked.

 

“Rock Lee asked me, but I said no. I'm still not sure if I'm going or not,” Sakura answered.

 

“Oh… would you like to go… with me?” Naruto asked.

 

Sakura gave him a confused look.

 

“You want to go with me?” Sakura questioned.

 

Naruto nodded his head.

 

“Yeah…” Naruto answered.

 

“But… why?” Sakura said.

 

“To be honest Sakura… I've always liked you, you've always been so nice and pretty” Naruto responded.

 

Sakura smiled a bit. Naruto smiled too, he was finally able to make Sakura smile. It wasn't a big smile and it didn't last long, but that was what he really wanted, was to see Sakura happy again.

 

“Umm… ok, I'll go to the Sakura Festival with you,” Sakura said.

 

Naruto was shocked.

 

“Really?” he asked.

 

Sakura nodded her head.

 

“Yeah… Thanks Naruto” she replied.

 

Naruto gave her a confused look.

 

“Umm… You're welcome…” he said.

 

Naruto and Sakura left the ramen bar.

 

“Where do you want to go now, Sakura?” Naruto asked.

 

“Actually, Naruto, I'm not feeling very good. I'm just going to go home,” Sakura said.

 

Naruto frowned, he knew she was lying.

 

“Ok, I'll walk you home,” Naruto offered.

 

“Ok,” Sakura agreed.

 

Sakura and Naruto walked up to Sakura's front door.

 

“See you later, Sakura,” Naruto said.

 

“Bye, Naruto,” Sakura replied.

 

Naruto began to walk away. He sighed.

 

“Umm… Naruto, wait,” Sakura called.

 

Naruto turned around to look at Sakura. Sakura walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek.

 

“Thanks for asking me to the festival and for worrying about me, Naruto,” Sakura said.

 

Naruto smiled.

 

“You're welcome,” Naruto replied.

 

“Bye,” Sakura said, walking away. Smiling.

 

Naruto stood completely still, he was shocked.

 

Sakura walked into her house and closed. Her back pressed against the door behind her; she heard sudden yells of joy. Sakura looked out the window. Naruto was jumping up and down happily. Sakura smiled and then laughed a bit. Naruto really did like her and she had been blind all along. Sakura watched as Naruto walked away. Sakura went and sat on her bed, but what about Sasuke. She could never forget about him, how could she move on when the one person she truly loved was gone? Sakura put her face in her pillow and started to cry.

 

“Sasuke-kun…” She whispered. “I can never get you out of my mind, you're all I think about anymore. How could I even forgive myself for letting you die?” Sakura asked herself.

 

That's the end of chapter 2…. Hope you liked it…
