Return to Konoha- A SasuNaru Story

The Dobe's Bed

The little day dream broke, "I wish it could work like that." I said to myself. "The great Sasuke Uchiha is scared.... No wonder you can't beat your brother! For one, you care about someone else and two you are scared to approach them. You make me sick" Said the inner voice. It was right.. it had to be right. I looked at the crying Naruto one last time before I quietly backed away and went to work.

I was an hour early but Mrs. Omamotto did seem to mind that much, she handed me a broom and then told me that I was just to clean. "Thanks again Mrs. Omamotto! also, may I inquire when payday is?" I said smiling, it was half fake. I don't feel much anymore but im not inhuman. I feel I just like to hide the feels. "Oh sweety, I'll be paying you each night you work, this place is surprisingly successful." She said smiling happily. She is too nice of an old lady. I swept and cleaned for a bit and then looked over to see her packing a bag of ramen, "Now where is he?" she said, I couldn't help but feel bad for her. This old lady is so nice in a world of evil, it kills me knowing that this world can screw her over at any second. "Oh no, Not again, he has been crying." I heard he say, I followed her gaze to see Naruto of all people.

The lady turned around and grabbed the bag checking in it one last time to be sure it had all the ramen. I turned to Naruto who had dropped his head and was walking straight past the place and seemed to be heading home. "Naruto, wait, your food!" she said waving to him not able to get his attention, "Oh I can't leave the shop," she said to herself. She turned to me and smiled. "Well good thing I have you! Listen Naruto has already paid for his food this week and he gets only enough for one day at a time so he needs it for dinner, I need you to take this food to him!" she said handing me the bag, "GREAT" I said to myself sarcastically. "He lives at--" I cut her off, "No its ok I know where he lives," I said giving her a fake smile.

I would love to have said no, but I need the job and I can't really be picky about the task I get. I began to head to Naruto's house. when his house came into the distance I sighed and then took a breath in. I walked up and knocked. "can't people just leave me alone." he said in a sad and exhausted voice. I didn't want to speak so I knocked again then placed the food down, I had the intention to leave as soon as he headed to the door. "Who is it?!" he yelled, "Damn you dobe!" I thought to myself well knocking again. "Ugg whatever it is, robbing, murder, delivery, DiGiorno, I don't care, just come in and be quick!" he said. I opened the door and stepped in with the bag, He wasn't in the main room or kitchen so I guess he is in his room. I placed the bag on his kitchen table and pulled out a box of ramen and put it next to the bag.

"Sakura is that---" I didn't even hear him get out of bed, he had walked right out his door and was standing there. "Sa...Sa..." he stuttered. "Shit, " I said in an annoyed voice. I just stared at him. Then I noticed it, There was a red dripping from his fingers on his right hand. "Naruto?" I asked rushing over. He looked down then collapsed, but I was just in time to catch him. "Naruto, What happened are you ok?" I asked as he looked at me. "Sakura, I think im dying....I see Sasuke!" He said smiling and reaching a hand up and touching my cheek. I quickly lifted him in my arms, bridal style, and carried him to his room. I lay him on his bed and that's when I notice the bloody kunai on the edge of the bed. "Naruto, YOU DOBE!" I yelled running into his bathroom and grabbing a towel. I pulled up his sleeve and stared in shock at the cut. It was serious, he had cut longitudinal and deep. I quickly dashed to the door and yelled: "I need a doctor or med nin!".  Seconds later a doctor and a medical ninja ran in. I watched as they stabilized him. "It's been at least 3 years since he tried this." The medical ninja said.

After an hour of healing and all the two medical men left and had told me to just watch him. they said that he didn't need the hospital cause they couldn't do much more, they would only hold him there. "Naruto you're so dumb!" I said, to which he replied by shifting a bit and then saying "Im hungry!" then shifting back. I walked into the kitchen and started making two bowls of ramen. I took the two bowls into naruto's room, "Sadly I don't think I can afford to pay you for my bowl since my first day at work I head here and then don't return." I put the bowls on his nightstand. "Naruto!" I said shaking his shoulder a bit. Suddenly I felt my arm get grabbed and the next thing I know Naruto had rolled over and dragged me into bed with him. There I was lying inches away from him with our faces that distance if not closer. I felt his breath on my face and I blushed.
