Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Valentine's Day! ❯ It's finally here! ( Chapter 9 )

-“Hey Naruto-kun. Wake up.”

 

-“(mumbles something and rolls over.)”

 

-“Wake up dude, the sun's up and you should be too.”

 

-“What?......Oh. Morning already?” Naruto asked sleepily.

 

-“You bet! And it stopped raining!” Sakura said happily.

 

-“Oh, that's uh....great!” he exclaimed and jumped into a standing position. *Now we can have that picnic I planned out!* he thought happily.

 

-“Uh Naruto-kun....” Sakura started, breaking him out of his train of thought. “I've got a problem. I don't have anything clean to wear for our date.” she said sadly. “I'd have to go home to change and then my parents probably wouldn't let me leave.”

 

Naruto frowned. This was indeed, a problem. “Well,” Naruto started “We could always climb up that drain pipe again.” he said with a smile.

 

-“Yeah, sure. You can climb the pipe, but my pipe climbing days are over.” Sakura said with a smirk.

 

-“Okay. I'll climb the pipe and then I'll pull you up through the window once I'm inside.” Naruto said. Sakura thought about it.

 

-“Yeah, that might work.” she said. “Well, it's worth a try at least.”

 

-“Great! Let's go now!” Naruto said and pulled Sakura up so she was standing beside him.

 

-“Wait! Can't I at least have a shower before we go?” she asked hurriedly while Naruto pulled her towards the door. Naruto stopped and turned to look at her.

 

-“I don't think you want to have a shower here, Sakura-chan.” he said.

 

-“Why wouldn't I?” she asked, almost scared to know the answer.

 

-“Well, there's no hot water. I found that out the hard way when I started living here.” Sakura frowned.

 

~No hot water?! This place is inhuman!~ Inner Sakura exclaimed. Sakura sighed.

 

-“Okay, let's go then.” she said and together they left the cold, wet apartment room and walked down the hall. They got down the stairs without much difficultly and started walking down the street towards Sakura's house.
