Hey, long time no see... talk... write. I'm sorry I basically abandoned this story right near the end, but I ran into a problem somewhere along the way a while ago. Because of that problem, I had to pick only one story of mine to keep writing, and this one just didn't make the cut, but it was a close second. I hope all of the fans of this story forgive me for leaving, but now I'm and ready to finish the story. So here it is, Chapter 7, enjoy.

Sakura's POV

We finally seperated from our kiss, mostly because we were starting to get tired. When I finally regained my breath that he had sucked out of me sweetly, I decided to speak up. "Naruto" was all I could get out, but it was all I needed. We stared into each other's eyes, and I couldn't help but admire his beautiful blue orbs.

To me, I had just expeirenced the best moment in my life, even though that was my second kiss, it felt even better than the first. We embraced once more, and then I noticed that the whole party had stopped just to watch our beautiful moment. Some of the people watching even had tears in their eyes.

"Hey, time to get back to the party" Tsunade yelled as she brought the crowd back to part mode. Tsunade then turned to give Naruto and I a wink, and then walked back to the guests she was talking to before. I gave the signal that Naruto and I wanted to be alone, and everyone else went to mingle. Before walking away, Ino felt the urge to comment "Don't go too far, don't forget that your still at a party".

Both of us blushed at the comment. "Baka" we both mumbled under our breath. "You know, sometimes I want to just kill her" Naruto said as he watched her walk away. "I know the feeling" I said as I started laughing. Naruto joined in with her. Then, we sat down on a nearby couch and looked at our presents.

"So I take it you like your present?" Naruto said with a big cheesy smile. "Like it, I love it, Naruto, this dress is so pretty, and this bracelet, its beautiful!" I said as she put on the bracelet. "It even has my birthstone on it, thank you Naruto" I said with a big smile and a hug. "Do you like your present Naruto?" I asked sheepishly. "You bet, this is better than the First Hokage's necklace!" Naruto said as he put it around his neck.

"I'm sorry, for yesterday, I just..." I cut him off, "You weren't prepared, right?" I said, finishing his sentence. "Well, yeah, my dream girl kissed me, after 13 years of hate, thats overkill in the affection department" Naruto said. Then, Naruto covered his mouth, noticing that he had just called me his dream girl. "I'm your dream girl?" I said with a teary eyed smile.

"Yes, you are" Naruto said back sweetly. "Thank you, but, why, I'm not that special, I'm just like any other girl" I said. "No, your so much more to me than that, Sakura, your my life, I get up every morning because I know I'll see you, you've been keeping me going, I should be thanking you" Naruto said passionately.

I was baffled by his words, "Do I really mean that much to you?" I asked with a tinted pink face. "Yes you do, like I said, I only ran to the bathroom because of how unprepared I was for something like that, I didn't mean to hurt you" Naruto said with his heart. "Naruto, I'm sorry I was mad at you" I said in an almost crying state. "Its ok, lets just get past that, ok?" Naruto said.

"Alright, so can our kiss earlier count as our first, it was much better than the last one" I asked. "Yea, let that be our first real kiss, it was much more romantic" Naruto said with a grin. Then, both of us felt ti was right, so I leaned in for another kiss.

"Hey, will you two do that at home!" Ino and Kiba bothed yelled in unison. "You can kiss any time, but these parties are only once a year, you know" Kiba yelled to us. "Baka" we both muttered under our breaths again. Naruto gave me a "We can finish this later" look, and he pulled me up. "Oh, right, would you like to make it official?" Naruto said to me. "Make what official?" I asked. "Well, um, we're going out now, right?" Naruto asked. "I thought you would never ask, yes, I want to be your girlfriend" I said as I reached up for a quick kiss. "There, it is official" Naruto said with a goofy grin.

As we walked up to our friends, I grabbed Naruto's hand. "Hey guys, you know my new girlfriend Sakura right" Naruto said as a joke. Everybody smiled, "Finally!" was all their responses. "It only took you forever, I mean, jeez" Ino said with her usualy devilish grin. Neji even gave Naruto a pat on the back, which was his way of saying, "Way to go".

I noticed Tsunade was watching us, and I over to her and gave her a wink, just as she had earlier. I mouthed the words "Thank you" and she mouthed back "No problem". I turned back to Naruto, who was listening to Kiba go on about something unimportant. "Hey Naruto, what time is it?" I asked. "Its 9:30, why?" Naruto said. "Its nothing, I'm just a little tired" Sakura said. "This is an overnight party, I have to be awake for later, so maybe I should sleep, but I don't trust them" Sakura thought to herself. "Do you want to take a quick nap?" Naruto asked quietly so only I could hear him. "I don't trust people here, even if they are my friends" Sakura said with a half smile. "I'll guard you, so nobody comes near you, plus you have to be able to be awake later for the games" Naruto said. "Ok, but don't you try anything" I warned him. "I know" Naruto said.

I walked over to the couch while still holding Naruto's hand. As I sat down, Naruto placed a pillow on the arm rest for my head. "Thank you" I said as I drifted off to sleep.

Well, how did you like it? I won't know unless you reveiw, so please do, Till Later.
