Ah, sorry for the long update! Either I was just lazy, no ideas or busy. Thank you for all your reviews. There is a link in my profile in where I answer your questions or comments. In this chapter, there may be some spelling or grammar errors. Also, sorry for this next intro, I heard that these were unnecessary.

Also, some of you want to know when the iPods are coming up. Well.. I'm not sure, but maybe in the next chapter or two. I don't write these out, I try to but whenever I do, they aren't detailed enough unlike how I just type it when it comes to me. This chapter isn't what I expected, but it'll have to do.

Inner Sakura

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto


After getting the mess cleaned up, getting the flour out of your hair, the yoke of an egg off your face, the students of Creative Cooking took a step out of the classroom door, onto their next class.

For Sakura and Hinata, that next class was lunch. Convient, no? Sakura, taking their wedding cake in her arms, which got an A, mind you, walked outside of the school building. Students of Kitamora are allowed to eat outside for lunch. Just so as long, they don't wander off too far from campus which is hard to, since the gates are locked.

Sakura and Hinata placed themselves at a picnic table, just outside of the school cafeteria. Just as they were taking out their bento, a loud yell was heard.

"SAKURA-CHAN!"

Sakura sighed as she placed her bento on the table. Hinata blushed at the voice, and poked her fingers with each other as she looked down.

"Sakura-chan, ohayou!"

Sakura gave a small smile to the owner of the voice, who is now standing next to her. The voice belonged to no other than, Uzumaki Naruto. He had short, naturally spiked blonde hair with cerulean blue eyes and some strange fox-like "whiskers" on his cheecks.

Sakura gave a small smile. "Ohayou, Naruto."

Uzumaki Naruto- known for his loud-mouth and stupidity. Naruto isn't really dumb, he's just well.. Naruto. He can be annoying at times, ok, for his friends mostly iall the time/i but they still love him. Naruto has changed alot of people and those people, became his friends. Naruto has a painful past, but he has overcomed it, ever since he was little.

Naruto had no parents. He doesn't know if they dead or if they left him, all he knew back then was that he had no one to take care of him. That is.. till Iruka took him in. In elementary, Naruto would always be the prankster. The laugh of the day, every eye on him, the dead-last. Naruto did these things, so that he would be notice. He always felt lonely when he saw everyone being picked up by their parents, asking their child, "How was school?". Iruka.. Iruka understood what Naruto was going through. How? Because Iruka also doesn't have any parents. They were killed, almost like dying in battle, Iruka would say. He understood Naruto needs of doing these things, so he took Naruto in and took care of him when no one else did. None of the parents liked Naruto.. probably because of the trouble he makes and that his 'troubling' behavior might influence their child, since he didn't have a mother or father to be taken care of.

In 4th grade, that was when everything changed, that was when Naruto met Haruno Sakura. 'Weird' he thought, seeing a girl with short pink hair. He also thought of her as pretty, with her short shiny pink hair and her glimmering green eyes. He wanted her to notice him, so he tried a few things here and there, but nothing seemed to work. She never looked his way, it seemed like Sakura never notice that there was a Naruto in her class. One day after school, Naruto decided to walk around the park, till he heard some noises coming up ahead. It sounded like crying and yelling. Naruto running up, seeing what the comotion is about, saw Sakura sitting down on the ground, her hair plastered onto her face messily, covering her forehead, crying in tears. He saw a group of kids around her, picking on her, and shouting insults. He knew them! A girl with dark brown eyes, long purple hair, with a white clip in it was wearing a dark blue skirt and a white tank top, her name was Niyama Ame. With her 2 friends, Mokuyoshi Harera and Jiru Kisuko, Harera with short dark blue hair and brown eyes, and Kisuko with black hair in a bun with light green eyes. Herera was wearing a light blue skirt and a fishnet spaghetti tank top. Kisuko is wearing black capris and pink tank top.

They were all in his class. They were picking on Sakura. Sakura, the nicest girl in his class. They were picking on Sakura, and the thought of it made Naruto mad.

"Geez Sakura, didn't know that your forehead was that big." teased Ame. Harera and Kisuko laughed with her.

"Yeah! You're gonna scare all the boys with that big forehead of yours." joined in Kisuko.

"Scare the boys! It can probably scare the teachers too!" laughed along Harera.

All Sakura could do was just cry and sniffle at the insults being thrown at her. She was scared and frigthen by them. 'What did I do wrong to them?' She thought. All she did was be nice to them, in fact, she never even spoken to them unless it was required to. But here they are, picking on her, making her cry, while she was walking through the park. They had thrown dirt at her, and now her clothes were stained. All she wanted right now was to go home and hope that this was all a bad dream.

Naruto, coming foreward to the laughing girls, shouted "Oi!" All heads turned towards Naruto, who was standing there in fury.

"Leave Sakura alone! She didn't do anything to you!" Naruto fits were clenched tightly.

"Oh, it's you. What do you want?" asked Ame, unfazed by Naruto.

"Get out of here, this has nothing to do with you." said Harera.

"Quit picking on Sakura, and say you're sorry!"

"Why should we say sorry to her? She's just a little ugly forehead girl!" Kisuko said. Again, all 3 girls laughed and Sakura shuddered back in with her knees up, crying harder. This made Naruto mad as he walked up to them, and stopped next to a tree, raising his left clenched fits, he pounded on the tree. The tree collasped down, showing the bark being split in half. Ame, Kisuko and Harera took a step back, seeing the tree fall down and then ran away.

Sakura was shocked. 'How could he do that?' was her thought, and then looked up seeing Naruto walked up towards her. 'Oh no!' She cried, she was afraid that he might hurt her after seeing Naruto punched the tree. She shruddered in fright and closed her eyes tightly.

"Hey.. I'm not going to hurt you."

Sakura looked up, and saw that Naruto was just standing there. No angry face, no clentched fits, just concern.

"Sakura-chan.. daijoubu?"

"H-hai.." Sakura answered.

"Do you know why they picked on you?" Naruto said, looking at the direction they ran off to.

Sakura tried to held back a sniffle. "Because of my forehead.."

"Huh?" Naruto looking back down at Sakura. "What do you mean? I don't see nothing wrong with your forehead."

"It's big!"

Naruto titled his head. "Really? I don't think so." Naruto moved closer to Sakura, and brushed pass some of the straids of hair that was covering her forehead. "It doesn't look big at all. Whatcha talking about?"

Sakura remained silent. She couldn't believe. He didn't think she had a big forehead. But those girls said..

"Don't listen to those girls. They're just stupid. I bet that they don't know anything about big foreheads, they probably have big ones themselves." Naruto commented.

Sakura was surprised and grateful at the same time. He said that she doesn't have a big forehead, and that he shouldn't listen to those girls. He liked her for who she was.

"Anyway Sakura-chan, don't listen to them. I think you're just pretty, just the way you are." grinned Naruto.

'Pretty? I'm pretty.' Sakura thought. Here, Sakura thought, was the greatest person she had ever met. No one has called her pretty, well except her parents, but here, was some boy who rescued her in her time of need. She had never notice him before, but now, he has gained her respect.

"Thank you, Naruto."

Naruto was surprised that she spoke. "Ah.. no problem, Sakura-chan. Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

It was that day, that Sakura and Naruto became good friends. Both of them became closer to each other, and soon, Naruto realized that they were better off as being friends.

"Sakura? Sakura!"

"Huh?" Sakura looked up from her memory lane and saw that Naruto was shaking on the shoulders. "Naruto, stop!"

"Gomen, Sakura-chan," He said, removing his hands on her shoulders, "you were spacing out." Naruto was about to greet Hinata when his eyes were focused on the wedding cake. "Sakura-chan, did you made this?" Pointing his finger at the beautifully decorated cake.

"Hinata and I made it, Naruto. It was an in-class assignment we did in Cooking."

"I see.. Sakura-chan, um.. mind if I have a taste of it?" Naruto asked, staring at the cake with drool at the corner of his mouth.

Sakura sighed. "Go ahead, Naruto."

"Yatta!" Naruto shouted as he took a fork, which popped out of no where, and started to chow down on the cake.

Hinata and Sakura sighed, looking at the mess Naruto was creating.


Wow, this chapter really sucked. Sorry for the short chapter, I'm running low on ideas, so any help is appreciated. Oh, and does anyone want to be my lil peer editor?
