Visit Sakura

Sakura had been looking for Naruto. She had found out in the Hokage Tower that it was his day off. Tsunade had given her some free time from her studies to go spend time with him saying that it's only customary to take a friend out when they return from being away for a long time. Sakura thought it over for a while and decided that it would be a nice change of pace for her and something nice to do for Naruto. The only thing she didn't count on was not being able to find him. She initially went to Ichiraku's ramen bar but surprisingly found he wasn't there. She asked Teuchi about Naruto but he said he didn't know where Naruto was. She then went over to the training grounds but found that no one was there. Lastly, she went to his apartment but wasn't there either.

It was then that Naruto came up to her as said, "Hey Sakura you doing anything right now?"

She was a little flustered. He had found her with no problem and asked casually if she was doing anything while she had spent a fair portion of her day looking for him to take him out. How odd that seemed to her that he would find her before she found him. "No. I was just heading over to the hospital to get some stuff. What do you want?" Going to the hospital was a total lie, but she wanted to sound convincing.

Naruto thought about his next question. He wanted to take her out but didn't want to give Sakura the wrong impression. He had to be flawless but he knew himself?that was impossible. "Should have asked Gama-chan about this," he thought to himself.

He wanted to sound convincing yet cool, confident yet casual, and overall determined.

"Oh, it's just that I wanted to know if you wanted to get a bite to eat, my treat. It's been two and a half years, I thought I'd show you the man I've become," Naruto said as he grinned ear-to-ear.

Sakura didn't know what to say. Had it been the 14 year-old Naruto who was asking her to a meal, she probably would have punched him clean out of the village. But it was different now. He had grown so much, physically, much taller than anyone would have guessed. He was really becoming a man. But it wasn't those thoughts that convinced Sakura that she should go with him?no. It was that familiar smile that bathed her body in nostalgia.

"All right Naruto."

He couldn't believe it. SAKURA ACTUALLY SAID YES TO A DATE WITH HIM! Naruto felt like he was sailing through the clouds. Even though they haven't seen each other in so long he was sure that Sakura still viewed him as a kid. He didn't know why she'd said yes but it didn't matter?she said yes.

"So where are we going?" Sakura asked.

Naruto's hopes suddenly sank into a bottomless pit. He hadn't expected her to say "yes" so he had no idea where he should take her. He knew that if he said Ichiraku's, Sakura would definitely give him a beating. He quickly searched his memory for a place?any place.

"How about we go to Tsuki? It's not that far from my house."

Sakura clenched her fist, "What did you say?"

Her eyes yelled "****" to Naruto. He then realized the Tsuki also meant "thrust" and Sakura probably got the wrong impression. With his hands up, ready to defend himself, he explained, "I mean Tsuki as in 'moon.' It's a quiet, but very nice restaurant by my house!" Naruto closed his eyes, preparing his body for the thrashing that might come. But luckily, Sakura remember the restaurant once he explained its name. She had passed by it earlier when she was looking for him. She thought it was a pretty good looking place.

"I could pick you up at the hospital at 7:30 so you can get your things done, just don't hit me," Naruto pleaded as he cringed away from her.

Sakura could see the fear in his face. She liked the fact that Naruto was a bit fearful of her but at that moment she felt it hindering them. "I've beaten this boy so much that I can't even talk to him without him thinking I'll hurt him. Although, it's mostly his fault for being such an idiot."

"Ok then, I'll see you at 7:30. But you can pick me up at my place instead," Sakura said as she smiled and walked away. She wanted to make sure that Naruto couldn't read her thoughts because they had to be evident on her face.

Opening one eye slowly, Naruto saw her walk away. He had just dodged a beating AND gotten a date. Things had just gotten really lucky for him. He ran home to tell Gama-chan about his luck, but when he looked outside he could see it was almost seven (he had to look at the sun since his alarm clock was still broken). He ran out again and made reservations for two at the restaurant, barely able to control his glee.

. . .

Sakura looked at the time, "He'll be late if he doesn't get here in the next 2 minutes and if he is late, I'm not going," but as soon as she finished her sentence Naruto appeared.

"Sorry I'm late, had to get everything ready."

She gave him an annoyed look as he grinned slyly. Naruto lead the way as they walk side-by-side to Tsuki. Once they got there Naruto quickly got the hostess' attention. She led them to a table by the window. Naruto secretly hoped that everyone he knew would pass by that window as they sat there, so they could actually SEE that he was on a date with Sakura.

Sakura could almost feel the glee that filled Naruto. Every little thing made him smile at that moment. "Idiot,"she said with a giggle.

Once they settled themselves down and ordered their food there was a period of silence in the air. Naruto didn't know what to say, so like usual, he said the first thing that came to mind.

"How come you didn't grow out your hair long again?"

"Oh," she said in surprise to Naruto's question, "I did for a while but decided to cut it again."

"For the same reason?"

Sakura had to think about her response. She had had long hair because of the rumor that Sasuke liked girls with long hair. She was **** to cut it during the Chunin Exams and left it that way to remind herself that she can be a good ninja on her own. Now, however, she felt that she had more or less proven herself with her medical-nin abilities.

"Guess I just got used to it is all."

Naruto wondered about it for a while but instead commented, "I liked it more when it was longer. It made you look girly."

Sakura wasn't sure how to take that statement, especially the "made you look girly" part. "Are you saying I'm not girl?" she asked as she felt her blood pressure rise.

"No no no no no. I'm just saying that it made you look really pretty and made your skin look brighter and silkier." Again Naruto needed to dodge a bullet, and luckily for him he did since at that moment the food arrived and Sakura's anger simmered down at the prospect of eating a good meal.

Even though she was still angry, she still noted Naruto's compliment. Of course he had complimented her before he left, but now, after 2 ½ years of travelling, with him seeing hundreds of different women, for Naruto to still feel how he felt about her touched a different place in her heart.

. . .

As they left Tsuki, Naruto stretched and rubbed his belly. "That was some good food. The ramen at Ichiraku's is better, but overall it was still good."

Sakura just smiled behind him as she mentally agreed with him. They had been having a good time thus far and the sun wasn't even totally got yet. "Naruto?"

"Yes?" he responded.

"Mind coming with me to do some shopping?"

Naruto looked at the situation as another opportunity to be with Sakura, "Why not? I'll do my best no matter what!" He hit his chest and started walking forward very proudly.

"Uh, Naruto," she began, "you'll just be carrying the bags for me."

Naruto was a little embarrassed about his overexcitement and slightly crestfallen. He stopped, and turned to Sakura. "Well then I promise to not drop them," he said giving her a weak smile.

Sakura laughed aloud at Naruto's idiocy. As she walked passed him, she patted his shoulder and said, "Ok, then I'll be depending on you to not drop my things."

Naruto gave a thumbs up and followed her to the store. They didn't buy that many things, at least not enough that he thought his help was needed. Unfortunately, as they left the store, a drunken man passed by.

He stopped, putting down a bottle, then swung his arm in a wide arc at them, saying, "Look at ju two. Shopping hiccup and stuff. And ju my lady, aren't you delicious. I should make you my new mistress," but this won him a flying kick from Sakura. He sailed into the sky until he was just a dot falling quickly to the ground.

"Stupid drunk people," Sakura said.

Naruto picked up the bottle of sake the drunken man had left behind. "He left this behind," he mentioned. "Guess I'll just take this home then."

Sakura quickly spat back, "What do you think you're doing taking that home, you're underage!"

"What else should I do with it?" But then Naruto got an evil thought, "Unless you wanna make use of it? We could use it to toast to my return."

Sakura was skeptical and give Naruto a weary look. She had never had sake, even though every now and then Tsunade would try to **** it upon her. This, however, was a special occasion. Naruto hadn't shown any malicious intent and at least it was for a good reason so she decided to go along with him. She thought that one little toast wouldn't hurt anything.

"Well I guess we could," Sakura said idly. She wasn't thrilled with the idea but if it was for Naruto then she would do it.

Naruto had a big smile on his face. Everything was going his way, almost as if the "higher ups" were on his side. "Then let's go drop off these bags and head to my house."

The rest of the walk to Sakura's house to drop off the bags and then to Naruto's house was is silence. Naruto was happily anticipating the rest of their evening together, and he didn't want to open his mouth and ruin it. Sakura, however, was extremely nervous. She was going to Naruto's house to drink sake. The idea of doing that with him would have never occurred to her earlier that day, but having been with him, feeling that warm place she had once known with her team members, she found she wanted to go to his place with him. Naruto had really grown up in her eyes and whenever she looked at him now she felt comforted and glad.

Once they got to his house she noticed the cleanliness of the apartment. "Did he plan for me to come over since the beginning, or is he usually this clean?" she thought to herself.

Naruto took out two small glass cups, since he didn't own any sake cups, and told Sakura, "Come on in and take a seat."

She did and stayed quiet. She didn't know what to do or say. Luckily Naruto turned with half-full cups of sake and handed her one.

"Isn't this too much?" she asked

"I don't know. I don't have the tiny sake cups that people usually use so I'm guessing this is ok. We just won't have to fill them up so often."

Both looked at their drinks very worriedly. They say that your first drink is always the hardest. Sakura didn't want to end up drunk in Naruto's house and Naruto didn't want to be drunk in front of Sakura.

Sakura put on a brave, determined face, and was the first one to swallow her fears, raise her glass and say, "Welcome back Naruto."

Naruto could still see the nervous fear of the unexpected in her eyes. Then he decided that since she'd raised her cup, he'd raise his. They looked at each other and made a silent pact to just drink and be done with it. "Thank you, it's good to be back," he said finally.

Both drank the entire glass of sake. Sakura coughed after finishing her glass. The strong sake burned down her throat but left a warming sensation in her stomach that seemed to spread to her limbs. Naruto, instead, tried to look tough in front of Sakura, and held in his pain, and tears, as the sake slid down his throat.

Once she stopped coughing, Sakura looked up at Naruto. He looked like the sake hadn't affected him. This made her angry. "So you think your all tough being able to take it?" She reached over on the table, poured herself another glass of sake and drank it.

Naruto swallowed audibly seeing Sakura chug down the sake. With every swallow her face got redder and redder. When she was done, she looked at him angrily, "See I can do it too!"

She poured another glass and handed it to Naruto with a challenge, "Now it's your turn, big boy. Or are you scared?"

Naruto worried that perhaps Sakura was already drunk. A whole glass of sake was probably equivalent to more than 20 of the tiny sake cups. He took the cup from her hand fearing that if he didn't drink it she'd **** it down his throat, or make fun of him cruelly and ruin their night together. He braced himself and chugged it down just like Sakura had.

She watched him drink it, watching small drops of sweat collect on his face. She found that sweat had collected on her brow too. It suddenly felt much hotter in the room, like someone had turned up the thermostat to 100 degrees. She did admired how Naruto had the courage to drink it all down. She found that she liked to watch his Adam's apple move as he drank.

When Naruto was done the room was spinning. He placed his hand on the table to regain his balance but ended up knocking over the trash can. Sakura immediately laughed.

"You such a dork Naruto."

"It's not my fault. **** always hits you the hardest the first time you try it, or at least that's what they say anyway."

"It didn't do anything to me," she responded but right then she leaned back on her chair a little too far, and it tipped backward, dumping her on the floor. She hadn't been able to keep her balance.

Now it was Naruto's turn to laugh. He laughed loudly and with no remorse. He grabbed his sides from the pain of laughter. Sakura was flushed as she got up and fixed the chair. As she tried to get up she noticed the tipped over trash can and what it held inside?Naruto's broken alarm clock.

"What the hell happened to your alarm clock?" she asked as she sat back down in her newly righted chair with a piece the clock's face.

As Naruto stopped laughing, he topk a seat next to her, and explained, "Oh, that. When I woke up this morning I tried turning it off but the button got stuck. Then I tried taking out the batteries but the stupid lid was screwed down tight. So in the end I just threw it and it broke."

Sakura had been looking at Naruto with a flattering smile the entire time he spoke. She had taken off her headband/forehead protector and was holding up her head with her hands. "You're so cute, a HUGE DORK, but still cute nonetheless. To think that you're that grumpy in the morning is very cute and kind of suits an idiot like you."

Naruto didn't know if that was a compliment or an in insult or a compliment wrapped in an insult. But he really didn't care, because as he looked at her, Sakura was slowly changing in front of his eyes. Her face looked brighter, her hair looked really soft, and her skin seemed to call to him. He wanted to touch her hair, but thought he shouldn't. But somehow, his body seemed to have a mind of its own as he watched his hand reach over and put his fingers through her hair.

At first, she was surprised at this gesture but when Naruto started to caress her scalp she, almost literally, began to melt. He massaged and scratched her head. It felt SO good to her to be touched so gently and soothingly. She leaned into his hand and ended up falling off her chair again.

"Oh shoot," Naruto said as he tried to get up from his chair but he moved too fast for the condition he was in and ended up falling himself.

Now that both of them were on the floor, they laughed at each other and their own clumsiness. The laughter that came out of them was genuine and carefree. They were enjoying themselves and this was just the icing on the cake. They began to point at each other, as if trying to tell each other how dumb they were.

"Ha, you fell so hard!"

"Shut up Naruto you couldn't even get up from your chair without falling over!"

Everything felt just right to them. Their laughter slowly started to dance away from them, but they remained there on the floor, eventually staring at the ceiling. They were happy together. Two and a half years apart, and this was the first time they could really enjoy each other's company.

After a while, they both turned away from the ceiling and looked at each other. Naruto could see the tears in her eyes from all the laughing she'd done. They made her eyes glisten. He was sure she could see his tears as well. Sakura smiled at him and he couldn't have asked for a better moment. He wished it would never end. He wished he could keep the mood going but once he looked at her lips it was all over.

The happy carefree feeling was gone, and was suddenly replaced with desire. He wanted to reach out and touch her mouth. Her lips looked soft and juicy at the same time. He wanted to know what it would be like to get that close to her, to just taste her for a few brief moments.

Luckily, or perhaps unluckily, for him in the middle of his thoughts his body had already moved in towards his desires. He scooted over, extended his neck and gave Sakura a passionate kiss. She, unlike him, was already expecting it. The way that Naruto had been staring at her told her that he wanted her. It was his sweet blue eyes that gave him away. To her surprise, she didn't move a muscle. Part of her mind was yelling at her, telling her how she would have never done something like that with Naruto if she didn't have **** in her but because of the ****, she wanted it to. Then she looked inside herself and found that even without the ****, this was a different Naruto, one she wanted to be with. She found that she wanted to not only be with him, but she wanted to feel him.

Sakura was the first one to reach out and pull Naruto closer to her. He hooked her hip and brought their bodies together. Hands began to travel as they wanted to let their curiosity run wild. Clothes were being taken off as they wanted more intimate contact with each other. They never parted their lips unless it was absolutely necessary. During this session, they had begun to roll around the floor, trying to find a better position for them to remove the rest of their clothes. Naruto naturally ended up on top of Sakura.

Once their chests where bare, Naruto, without any hesitation, reached down to Sakura's hips, massaged them, and then proceeded to go down to her skirt. He pulled her up off the floor a bit by her skirt. Sakura felt the excitement of the moment rush through her like a tidal wave. She bit her lip out of anticipation as she held her hips up off the ground. Once up, Naruto began to undo her skirt while he licked at her navel, with the full intention of taking her shorts all the way down. She had undone his pants earlier and they had already come off of him.

Naruto stood up then, and extended his hand to her to assist her. The room wobbled a little, but his excitement had caused him to regain his focus, and most of his balance. They were both fully undressed?wanting each other much more than before. Naruto pushed Sakura up against a wall as he sucked on her neck and shoulder. His manhood rubbed up against her, right between her thighs. It sent jolts of electricity through her. Sakura felt her blood boil as her desire for him rose even higher. She raised her right leg and hooked it around his hips. This was the sign Naruto had been waiting for. It was the moment they were both waiting for.

The ecstasy that filled Sakura's body as Naruto entered her was more than she could handle. She dug her nails into his shoulders. This, however, excited Naruto tremendously, then he began to move. Sakura found that she wanted to rip his body apart. Eat him alive! She never imagined sex to be as good as it was. Perhaps it was the **** but it didn't matter at the time, she was enjoying herself and she wanted it to continue on forever.

Naruto too could feel every nerve in his body tingle with exhilaration. Every thrust was another high. Every sound that Sakura made drove him further into his want for her. He looked deep into her emerald eyes and saw happiness shining back at him. He realized that he was what was causing that happiness. He wanted to do his best to keep those eyes bright and happy, always.

Sakura could feel her own climax nearing. It had begun as a small flame but soon had erupted into a gigantic inferno. She didn't want hers to come just yet so she put her hands on Naruto's chest and pushed. Naruto, at first was fearful, thinking he had done something to displease her but when took a step back, Sakura walked over to the table, pushed aside the cups and bottle of sake, and laid on top of it with her behind to him.

"We aren't done just yet," she said to him with an inviting look. With rejuvenated lust, he entered her from behind, holding on to her by the hips. He delighted at this new position, and it's extremely different sensations. On the wall, it felt much more intimate having Sakura right in front of him. Now, he had her, all of her, in his control. It raised the beast in him as he drove in deeper and faster. To Sakura, it was definitely satisfying but in a different way. Giving Naruto complete control, and being in a much more inferior role, stimulated a different part of her. She loved it. It excited her to no end.

This new level of excitement brought her climax even quicker than before. She grabbed onto the edges of the table, trying to control herself. She moaned very loudly, every breath drawing her even closer to fulfillment. She looked back at Naruto; his body dripping in sweat. His eyes were fixated on her body. They told her that she was everything he wanted at that moment and that filled her heart with bliss.

Sakura was soaring. The pressure inside her body was building. She took deeper and deeper breaths. Her mind was filled with endorphins that took her higher and higher. Naruto noticed all of this. He used this as incentive as he pumped as hard as he could, giving her as much of his erection as he could. The more he gave the higher she got. She felt her throat tighten up, unable to breath for a few moments right before she let out a moan so loud that Teuchi, in Ichiraku, had turned towards Naruto's house as simply smiled, "Good boy."

As Naruto withdrew from Sakura, he could still feel his blood pumping. Hearing her moan that loudly gave him a new level of courage. It was as if the male part of him had just grown by a multiple of ten. When Sakura turned and looked at Naruto's still erect penis, she knew her work was still not done.

Sakura gave Naruto a devilish look, one that invited him in for more but also told him that the fire between them was not going to subside any time soon. He helped her stand, then he picked her up, and carried her lovingly to his bed. He laid her on her back gently and then climbed on with her and placed himself between her legs.

This time, Sakura reached up and caressed his face. At that moment, she was his and he was hers. It had been two and a half years since they'd seen each other and neither of them could fathom how so much each had changed. They had been waiting for each other for all those months and now they had each other, at that moment and forever more.

Naruto pressed his entire body onto her, having her warmth envelop him. They were one once again. Every stroke was a symbol of a building new relationship. They were going to give every bit of themselves to each other. They could see a new horizon in front of them. One that no longer had them as teammates side-by-side but rather them holding each other as one, a couple.

Sakura looked up at her Naruto. He was so much more than she thought he would be when he returned. She expected the same idiotic Naruto who had no common sense still with a lot of growing up to do. But she was pleasantly surprised to learn that instead he had grown to **** heights in so many ways. He still had no common sense but that's what kept him a child at heart; which was also where his passion came from.

Naruto's body began to stiffen as he neared his release. Sakura, too, again felt herself rising to pleasurable heights. She was soon to walk over the edge.

"Sakura, Sakura I . . ." but when he looked at her she simply replied breathlessly, "I know?I love you too."

It was perfect. It felt perfect to both of them. Their bodies climbed the mountain together, as one. As they looked deep into each other's eyes they knew that this was the epitome of unity. Naruto reached out and connected palms with Sakura, interlacing her fingers and his. She kissed him softly on the lips as his breathing intensified. She arched her back as they both jumped off the mountain together, into eternal bliss.

. . .

Naruto continued to lie on Sakura's chest as she held him and played with his hair. He had been so comfortable in her arms that he dozed off. When he turned to look at her, the moon was glowing on Sakura's skin. She seemed like an angel to him.

She smiled at him, he softly smiled back. All Naruto could do was close his eyes again and let himself enjoy every moment they would have together that night.

A/N: CONGRATULATIONS! You've made Naruto's fondest wish come true! If you'd like to try and make some of his other wishes come true, (or maybe some of your own) go back to the beginning and make a few different decisions.
