Shining Armor [Naruto Fanfic]

Chapter 4

"5th Feb 1995" Sakura started, "Today, I'm sitting on my bed, over-thinking, I have no idea of what's going to happen with my life this year."

Naruto snorted, "Wow, me neither." and Sakura elbowed him in the arm and continued.

"I am totally clueless. You might think that this is absurd,-"

"You bet- ow! Sakura-chan, stop hitting me!" Naruto rubbed his arm.

Sakura glared, "Then stop interrupting me!" She cleared her throat and started reading, "-bet my existence to be meaningful when it comes to living the amazing time that a woman could ever have in this world.

I'm tired and lonely. Even though I got everything I wanted, I'm still looking forward to have a serene yet extraordinary life. I found myself working then going home to sleep, waking up then going to work again. I can't find the significance of everything that's happening. In simple words, I don't know what my purpose is anymore.

However, I'm still and always will remain faithful and optimistic. But I know that one day something is going to come right in front of me that would remind me how special I am. I'm just waiting for it to come.

Fuyumi." Sakura finished.

Naruto turned to Sakura, "Well, there's no sign of knowing your dad."

Sakura nodded grimly, "Should I continue?"

Naruto gave her a look, "Do you even need to ask?"

"I'll continue," She turned the page, "6th Feb 1995

I thought that Today will be as usual as everyday but no, something happened-" Naruto interrupted again.

"Oooo.... What happened?"

She gave Naruto a blank look, "I swear, Naruto....."

"Ok. Ok. Continue..."

She started again, "I was just returning home after my shift when I accidentally hit a man with my car."

"Wow, mom. And you said I have bad driving." Sakura huffed, "Thankfully, he wasn't hurt except a minor scratch. I felt so bad. So, I bandaged his knee with a first aid kit I keep in my car. When I finished, I patted his arm and he flinched. In alarm I looked at my hand and saw blood dripping from my fingers. I panicked. The man calmed me and told me that I'm not responsible for it. After looking, I saw it was indeed a stab wound. He told me that he was robbed and the robber stabbed his arm when he refused to give him his wallet. I brought him to the hospital and got his arm bandaged. He told me his name was Ren and gave me his number." Sakura finished.

"Well, that was an eventful day." He commented.

"Agreed." Sakura smiled, "Maybe this Ren Guy is my dad."

"Nah! Don't think so."

"Why?" Countered Sakura.

Naruto rolled his eyes, "There were nothing mentioned about how he looked or any signs of your mom getting attracted to him. And if I remembered correctly, Your mom was married to him."

Sakura scoffed, "It was just a first meeting, baka!"

"Still. If there's no attraction, there will be no dating. No dating means no love. No love, no marriage. No marriage, no sex. No sex, no you. Therefore, he's not your dad." Panted Naruto.

"How come you're so smart when it comes to these type of things?" She was amazed at his reasoning.

He shrugged, "Just because I don't show that I'm smart doesn't mean I'm not." He ruffled her hair with a fond smile.

Sakura blinked them scowled at him half-heartedly, before fixing her hair, "You're still a baka."

He gave her his adorable grin causing her to smile, "But you love me anyway."
