I'm hokage, but why am I so miserable. My life isn't what I intended it to be. None of the plans I made came into play besides one.

It was late. The sky was a beautiful navy blue with stars shining brightly. I leaned back into my chair mentally preparing myself to go home. My eyes ran across my office trying to find any little thing to keep me busy.

After the war, the village has been extremely peaceful. There hasn't been any trouble.

Even though the village was at peace, I still got a load of paperwork. Sadly there wasn't anything else I could do that night. The paperwork that I did finish, I organized over and over again. Grabbing my house keys off my desk, I made my way out my office. I glanced up at the star filled sky once more before I found myself taking a long depressing walk home.

It always seemed like my life took the wrong turn after I got married. The marriage was a big mistake because I'm not married to the one I love. Hinata was a friend of mine, but I never wanted to take things to this level knowing I was in love with someone else. Going into my pocket, I took out a small picture of the person I love. She's beautiful. She's everything I could ever ask for, but I don't know what happened between us. I tried to make sense of everything, but I never came to a conclusion. Everything went south. We don't even speak anymore. I miss her…

What can I possible do now? I have a wife and kids. My daughter Himawari and my son Bolt. I don't regret my kids. I just…

I placed the picture back in the pocket of my hokage coat. A small huff of air left my lips once I got up to the door of my house. Quickly I opened the door, hoping it was a different scenario I was walking into. Sadly it was the same house with the same memories. Suddenly I could hear a tiny voice greeting me.

"N-Naruto-kun, welcome home. How was work today?" Hinata walked up to me attempting to press her lips against mine. I turned my head to the side slightly avoiding the kiss, acting like I to sneeze.

"Work was so tiring today." Stretching my arms up into the air, letting out a fake yawn. "Same old stuff every day. Being the big boss is hard work."

"Ah, I see. Well dinner is ready. Bolt and Himawari are sleeping." I nodded at her and started to walk upstairs.

"Let me get settled in and I'll come eat Hinata." Before I went into the bedroom to settle down, I peeked in the rooms of my children. They were sleeping peacefully.

Bolt was becoming trouble-some. Maybe I wasn't showing him enough of attention? Himawari on the other hand was a mommy's girl.

How could I manage to take care of children, when I'm constantly depressed? I don't want to break up my family because of needs, but I'm just so bored with this marriage.

I plopped myself down on the bed and threw myself back.

"What am I doing?" Constantly I asked myself this. I don't know who I am anymore. This isn't the person I wanted to be. What happened to me?

I went back in the pocket of my coat and pulled out the picture once more. Grazing my lip became a bad habit of mine. I would always do it when I'm deep in thought or semi curious about something. Most of the time I break the skin on my lip and it bleeds. Any other time my lip just gets really red and sore.

Hinata walked in the room and I panicked. The picture was still in my hand, so I shoved it in my shirt. I didn't even hear her come up the steps.

"Naruto? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just relaxing a little bit... I'll be downstairs in a bit."

This was my everyday life. I tried to spend as much time away from this house. No matter what I took, I would try shamelessly.

"I'll be home late." I threw my hokage coat on and walked out the house.

As soon as I walked out of the house, I noticed red writing on the hokage monuments.

There's only one person I knew would do something like this. I rushed over to the monuments to catch him in the act.

Holding onto a piece of rope, I snuck up behind the yellowed haired figure.

"Bolt! What are you doing?! I thought I taught you better than this?"

He drew these silly pictures all over the monuments. On my face he had written "The hokage sucks. I hate the hokage."

Bolt didn't say anything to me. He was just standing there in silence.

"You're going to clean up this mess, do you hear me?"

"Will you help me?"

I let out an exhausted sigh.

"Bolt I don't have time. I need to head to the office." Patting the top of his head, I smiled at him. "You understand don't you?"

Bolt started to swing his arms at me while he was yelling.

"You're so stupid! Dummy, dummy, dummy!" Bolt threw the paintbrush and proceeded to throw the paint can at me. I lost my balance when the can hit my face.

The monument was getting farther and farther away. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't realize I was falling until it was too late.

"Dad!"

There was a CRASH and BANG.

The voice was fading away.

Everything went black.

I woke up in a hospital bed. There was this horrible throbbing sensation in my head.

"Ugh, what happened?" My body sluggishly pulled itself up. My right arm was in so much pain. I was pretty much guessing that it was broken.

" ?" One of the nurses walked in the room.

"Yes?"

"The head doctor will be in shortly to examine your injuries."

"Oh, thanks."

I can't even imagine how long I've been in the hospital. Now that I'm awake, I was getting impatient. I wouldn't mind going to work as a hokage with a broken arm.

A few minutes went by when the door opened.

"Finally. I've been waiting here for so long."

When I turned my head, there was a familiar figure standing in the doorway. Her pink hair draped off her shoulders. Her eyes looked to be a deeper green color. My heart stopped and then started beating again. My chest was tightening up. I couldn't move. I was stuck in place.

"S-Sakura?"

" ." She bowed in my presences. "What happened? They say you fell."

"Yeah, I fell off the monument. Bolt was acting up again."

"I see. Does anything hurt?"

"Well my arm. It's hurting a bit." It was so hard for me to get anything out of my mouth. This is the first time I've made contact or spoken with Sakura in years. Her figure was very feminine now, but you could barely see it with the white coat she was wearing.

Sakura closed the door behind her and sat down in a chair near the bed. She was holding a clipboard in her hand.

There was a lot of tension in the air. She looked as if she wasn't trying to look in my direction. Her head was turned off to the side.

"I have to examine your arm. Can you please remove your shirt?"

"Yeah." I nodded my head as I struggled to take my coat and shirt off.

Her fingertips were grazing against the papers on the clipboard while she waited for me.

"Can I get some help please?"

"Huh, Oh yeah. Sure." She turned back my way while hesitatingly reaching for my shirt. Sakura's eyes looked heavy and worried.

Slowly she lifted up the bottom of my shirt, gently pulling it over my head.

She squeezed on my right arm without warning. I jumped and squealed like a little girl. The pain was a bit overwhelming.

"Your arm is broken. I can heal it up slightly, but you're going to have to wear an arm cast for a while."

"I was guessing it was broken."

She laid her hands against my skin. The green aura covered her hands and broken part of my arm. Her hands were really soft.

My body was shivering. I just wanted to grab her hand and hold it.

"So… How are you? How are things?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She paused for a moment as if she was trying to avoid the other question. A small sigh could be heard from her. "Everything is fine, I suppose. Things have been alright for Salad and me. God only knows where Sasuke is, but everything is fine."

"Sasuke hasn't returned yet, huh?"

"Mhm, He went on another one of those "self-searching" journeys." She smiled awkwardly at me. The smile seemed forced and unpleasant.

"I'm sure he'll return soon."

"I don't think he's going to, but thank you.… How are things with you?"

"Don't say that and everything is okay." I lied to her. Everything wasn't okay. I couldn't admit to Sakura that I hated what happened to me. I couldn't even explain what happened to me if she asked me.

"That's good."

Everything went silent. I didn't know what else I could possibly say to her. I wanted to admit that I missed her, but I doubt she'd believe me.

It's been years since we spoke or made any contact with each other. She'd think I was crazy if I said that. I couldn't bring myself to come face to face with her after what happened between Hinata and I.

She probably thinks I abandoned her as friend and almost lovers, but it's true. I did abandon her. I feel horrible. What kind of friend am I?

I still love Sakura. My feelings never vanquished. No matter how hard I tried to forget her, I could never.

I peered in her face, appreciating her beauty.

"Is there something wrong, ? You're looking at me funny."

"Yeah, Yeah. I'm fine. There isn't anything wrong."

"Oh, I was just making sure."

"You know you can call me Naruto right?"

"Let's keep it professional. You're the hokage and I have to respect that."

"You're right."

"You're all finished with me. I'll send someone in to put the cast on your arm." She stood up from the chair. "But while you're here, I need you to look over some papers. The hospital needs funding for supplies and the medicine research. We're running low. Everything is peaceful, but people are still hurting themselves left and right." She pulled a few pieces of paper off the clipboard and placed them in my lap.

"I'll sign your papers, but you have to have to pick them tomorrow. I have to give them the stamp of approval."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate this."

I stood up from the bed and blocked the door before she could walk out.

"Sakura…"

"What is it? I have work to do, I have to go."

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry for everything. I didn't mean to do this to you."

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." She turned away from me.

I wrapped my arms around her bringing her into a tight loving embrace. Her body was trembling. Her hands were pressed against my chest. She was trying to push me away, but I was holding on her tightly.

"Let me go." Her voice was weak and uneasy. "Please let me go."

I pressed my face in her neck, nuzzling against her. "I've missed you. I've missed you so much. I'm always thinking about you." There was a faint sweet scent of perfume.

"Don't lie to me... What you're saying isn't going to make me feel any better about the situation." She stopped trying to fight out of my embrace. It felt like she was trying to push herself closer to me unknowingly.

I lifted her chin, tilting her head upward.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

My lips pressed against hers. She didn't fight the kiss and our bodies melted together.

"I love you."

So I decided to revise this story after the utter b.s of the ending of Naruto. So yeah. Enjoy. VIVA LA NARUSAKU
