And here is chapter 4!

“So that’s what happened Ino, now can you please tell me where Sakura is, I need to talk to her.”

“I don’t know Naruto I think you’ve hurt her pretty bad.”

“How would you know that? I thought you haven’t seen her.”

“Naruto, she’s been laying on my couch for the last hour, she won’t say anything to me. I don’t know if I should let you see her. But if it really means that much to you,” Ino sighed deeply. “I’ll let you talk to her.” Ino opened the door wide enough for Naruto to get through and she lead him down the hallway of her house. About halfway down the hallway she turned to her left and opened a door. The room that they entered was very dark and it looked like no one was inside. “Sakura, Naruto has something to say to you.” Naruto looked around the room but he couldn’t see Sakura anywhere. Ino walked over to a lump of blankets on a coach and nudged them a little bit. They didn’t move but Ino pulled off some of the blackest and Naruto finally saw that Sakura was underneath them all. Considering that it had only been about an hour from went it had happened, Sakura looked horrible. Her hair was all messed up and way different from the hair from that mourning and her face was covered in tear stains. “Here you go Naruto she’s all yours.” Naruto walked up to the couch and crouched down beside Sakura and pushed some hair out of her face.

“Hey Sakura, how are you doing.” Sakura didn’t even look at Naruto she just kept looking through him like he didn’t exist. “Sakura I’m really sorry, can’t you please forgive me, I’m so sorry.” Sakura still didn’t even flinch. “Well Sakura I’ll tell you what, if you accept my apology meet me on top of hokage tower at eight’ o clock tonight.” Naruto brushed her hair back and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. “Good-bye Sakura,” Naruto looked at Ino, “I gotta go, try and fix her up for me.” Naruto walked out of the door and back down the hallway. He flung open the down and ran down the streets of Konoha, if he wanted Sakura to forgive him; he was going to have to do something great for her.

Somewhere Deep in the Rock Village

“Dammit Hiashi why the hell didn’t you tell me that Pein was in the area! We could have had Itachi if would have told us you fucking idiot! I let you come into our group from the leaf village after you faked your death and this is how you repay me!”

“I’m sorry Sauske-sama, it won’t happen again.” Hiashi looked at Sasuke.

“I guess you can’t be blamed, we couldn’t have gotten that close to Itachi without you scouting out the area for us. You’ve done your job well Hiashi.”

“But Sasuke-sama there is two things that I would like to tell you that I think you might like.” Sasuke looked up at Hiashi now with a look of interest. “The first one is that I have figured out the body that controls all of the other bodies of pein using my byakugan. I also found out that if you kill the main body, the rest of them will be completely cut off from chakra and will be easy to take out.”

“That’s good news Hiashi, and you said you had another thing to tell me…”

“The other thing that I wanted to tell you is that your two old friends from the leaf village, Naruto and Sakura, are currently dating.”

Sasuke let out a dark somewhat evil chuckle. “That’s the best news of all Hiashi! You know that Naruto you would put his life on the line if Sakura was in danger, so when the time is right, all we need to do is go after Sakura and Naruto will come. Then I can finish that blonde haired idiot off once and for all. Thank you for the news Hiashi, you have honored your position in our group. You are dismissed.” Hiashi turned his back on Sasuke and walked out of his chamber. Back in his chambers Sasuke thought deeply to himself. “So Naruto, you finally got Sakura huh? Well enjoy it while you can.” Sasuke sat down in his chair and chuckled to himself.

Back in the leaf village at Ino’s house

“Sakura wake up!” Ino delivered a hard slap to the side of Sakura’s face.

“What the hell was that for?” Sakura got up off the couch and looked at Ino with fire in her eyes.

“I needed to get you off the couch; I’m not letting you lay here all day when you have Naruto waiting for you on top of Hokage Mountain!”

“I don’t know Ino, I accept his apology, but I don’t know what to wear.”

“Sakura, first off, it’s Naruto he doesn’t care what you wear. Secondly, if you really care about what you like to him that much come with me.” Ino lead her out the door and down the hallway a little further and turned and opened a door to her right. Sakura had a blanket still wrapped around her as she walked beside Ino. Ino lead Sakura into a room and flipped on the light. It was the biggest closet that Sakura had ever seen,

“Ino, you really mean that I can choose anything out of this closet to wear tonight?”

“You’re my friend, so I guess if you have an important date tonight why not, I’ve never even worn most of this stuff anyway. Now you have fun Sakura and I’ll go make you some tea.” Sakura honestly didn’t know where to start so she went to the back of the closet and started looking through some of the shirts that were hanging up on the rack. Sakura sighed deeply, “this might take a while.”

Back with Naruto

Naruto sat atop Hokage Mountain staring out over the leaf village. He knew that somewhere out there Sakura was deciding whether or not to accept his apology. Naruto had set up a fancy table cloth on the ground with candles going and fancy dishes. Naruto had wanted to take her to a fancy restaurant but he decided that he wanted to be alone with her. Naruto looked up at the sky, Jiriya had trained him on how to read the sun to tell what time it was and Naruto predicted that it was about 7:55. Naruto lay down on the ground and looked at the stars. Naruto had given names to most of the stars already and had recognized them by their position in the sky. Naruto sat there for about 20 minutes when he decided to call it quits; he didn’t blame Sakura for not forgiving him. But right when he was going to put out the candles, he heard a rustling in the bushes. He turned around and soon saw Sakura’s pink hair coming in between the bushes. Naruto smiled and ran over to greet her, “Sakura you came!” He ran over and wrapped his arms around Sakura and squeezed her as tight as he could.

“Yeah Naruto, of course I came. What, you actually thought that I wouldn’t?” Sakura looked over Naruto’s shoulder, “you did all of this for me!” Sakura ran over and sat down next to one of the plates. “Naruto this is beautiful! You didn’t have to do this for me, this is way too much.”

“Nothing’s too much to give to you Sakura, not after what I put you through. And besides, tonight is a very special night.” Naruto took a seat took a seat on the other side of the cloth.”

“Why is it a special night Naruto?” Sakura looked into Naruto deep blue eyes.

“All of that will be answered after our terrific dinner that I have planned this evening, but for now I just want you to enjoy yourself.” They took the cover off their platters and started to eat.

“Naruto how did you make all of this delicious food, I didn’t even know that you could cook.” Sakura swallowed another mouthful of her meal.

“I’m much more capable of doing common things than you think I am Sakura.” Just as Naruto said this rain started to pour down. “No, my meal is completely ruined, Sakura I’m sooooooo sorry!” Naruto fell down on the ground and actually looked like he was about to cry.

Sakura went over to him and kneeled down beside him, she then put his head in her lap. “Naruto it’s alright, we should just go get some ramen is that all right with you?” Sakura gently picked up his hand and pulled him up off the ground. Sakura lead him down the stairs all the way to the bottom of hokage tower. “Wow, Naruto, it’s freezing out here because of this rain.” Naruto unzipped his jacket and took it off his shoulders, “Naruto what are you doing?” Naruto took his jacket and put it around Sakura’s shoulders leaving him with only a tee-shirt. “Naruto, put your coat back on, you’ll get a cold.”

“Rather me than you Sakura,” Naruto put an arm around her. “Here we are Sakura,” Naruto held up the flap for Sakura and took a seat next to her. After their meals were brought to them Naruto asked, “Do you wanna know why this night is so special?” Sakura looked up at him and nodded with noodles still in her mouth. “Sakura you know how the nine tailed fox was sealed inside a child all of those years ago?” Sakura nodded once again and slurped up her noodles. “Well that child was me.” Sakura’s chopsticks fell out of hand and hit the ground.

“You’re the fox child that everyone use to abuse and almost kill you?” Naruto wiped a tear from his cheek and nodded. Sakura jumped at him and almost knocked him off of his stool, “Naruto that’s so horrible, and all of this time you’ve been apologizing to me!” Sakura held on to him tight and didn’t let go, she sat in his lap and buried her face in his shoulder. Naruto stroked Sakura’s back and kissed her cheek.

“Stop crying Sakura, It’ll be ok.” Naruto picked Sakura up and walked out of the ramen shop. “Do you want me to tell you anything else?” Sakura shook her head. “Well Sakura, I want to ask you something very important.” Sakura wiped her eyes and looked back up at Naruto. “It might be moving a little fast, but I was wondering if you wanted to move in together?”

Sakura’s jaw dropped and she jumped on Naruto again, she kissed him over and over again. “Of course Naruto, I would absolutely love to take that step, but wait a minute, where would we stay?”

“Well Sakura I was waiting for you to say yes to make it official, but I kind of bought us a house already.”

Sakura shook her head. “Naruto where could you get enough money to buy an entire house?”

“Sakura I haven’t had much to buy for myself for the last couple years except for my simple meals, and I have had a lot of rank A missions lately. Don’t worry about Sakura I have it all taken care of, so tomorrow I’ll come over to your apartment and help you get your stuff.”

Sakura giggled a little, “Oh I love you Naruto.” Sakura laid her head on Naruto’s shoulder and Naruto wrapped his arms around her.

“I love you too Sakura.”
