Author's Note: This should be fun. I'm going to try to write this chapter from my iPod. Wonder how it will turn out.

Secret

"Well, well, well. What is this?" a blonde questioned, reaching into the pocket of the jacket that was hanging on the wall. Before her companion knew what she was doing she pulled it out, making everyone in the room go wide-eyed at what the blonde held in her hand.

"Ino, you don't just go through someone's stuff!" yelled her pink-haired friend, face flushed in embarrassment while her heart pounded in her chest, afraid of being judged for what her friend had pulled out of her jacket.

Ino quickly gave Sakura back the object she had retrieved from her jacket, a pair of condoms, noting the girl's apprehension before taking them. The blonde then took a quick glance at the other two inhabitants of the room.

Shikamaru had a small blush of embarrassment on his cheeks, clearly not expecting such a thing to occur in the middle of a study session, which the blonde girl thought was rather cute. Her fellow blond, however, had his head tilted down, hair concealing his eyes but she could see him bite his lip sharply.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I just remembered I have to help my godfather clean out his garage so I have to go." the blond boy said as he quickly picked up his things. Shikamaru, deciding to leave with him, hastily did the same.

"A-Are you sure, Naruto?" Sakura asked, not looking him in the eyes. Naruto was quiet as he stood and opened the door out of her house.

Before leaving, however, the blond boy turned to say goodbye, casting Sakura a look that made Ino regret having done what she did.

He looked heartbroken. Everyone knew he had a crush on his pink-haired friend. And the fact that Sakura had recently started showing signs of returning his affection had made him ecstatic. The fact that the condoms Ino pulled out seemed to suggest sexual activity by said girl, simply crushed the blond.

As soon as the boys had left Ino rounded on Sakura. "What the hell, forehead?" Ino yelled, making Sakura jump slightly at the sheer frustration in the blonde-haired girl's voice. "I thought you liked Naruto?"

"I do, Ino, but—"

"Then what the hell is up with those?" Ino cut her off, pointing at the pair of condoms the pink haired girl was still holding.

"Ino, these aren't mine!" Sakura yelled, her voice clearly conveying how offended she was, making the blonde raise a thin yellow eyebrow.

"What—then why do you have them?"

Sakura sighed as she placed the items in her hand on the coffee table in her living room, leaning back against the couch. "Temari." she began, making the other girl even more confused. "She asked me to smuggle them past the security at school since they never check me, being an honor student and all, but I never got a chance to give them back." she clarified.

"Then why didn't you just say that instead of making it sound like they were yours?" Ino asked, making Sakura glare at the blonde.

"Because, you're not supposed to go through someone's things, Ino!" Sakura shouted, before glancing at the door. "Now he must think the worst of me." she whispered, tears threatening to fall.

"I'm sorry, Forehead." Ino apologized, hugging Sakura gently. "I'll talk to him tomorrow at school, tell him they weren't yours, okay?"

Sakura sniffed. "Thanks, Ino." she said before the blonde released her, glancing at the clock. "You going home?"

The blonde nodded, packing her stuff before heading towards the door. "Don't worry about Naruto I'll talk to him on the bus tomorrow." she stated before leaving.

Sakura sighed as she decided to pack her things herself, heading up the stairs to her room.

"Finally, I thought she'd never leave." she heard from the direction of her window as she entered her room. "Nice acting, by the way." the person clapped. "Very convincing."

"Look who's talking?" Sakura replied with a smile as the person entered her room, sitting on her bed with a grin. "You know she feels horrible because of you now, right?"

The other teen shrugged. "True, but your added tears didn't help much." he stated as the rosette walked up to him, standing in between his legs, running her hands through his hair. "Ow. Careful, babe." he said when she pulled his hair lightly.

"Sorry. I was just wondering about how your condoms ended up in my coat." Sakura muttered as he leaned forward to press the side of his face in between her breasts, sighing contently as he listened to her heartbeat. "Don't ignore me, Naruto."

The blond merely shrugged. "I left my jacket in my car and my sweats don't have pockets." he muttered against her shirt causing her to sigh as she pushed him away so she could straddle his lap.

"And so now Ino's going to have to talk to you tomorrow." she leaned in so that their foreheads were touching, her eyes closed. "Why are we hiding us again?" She asked as he rubbed his nose against hers.

"Beats me." he shrugged, too lost in her presence to really think. "I'll wait 'til your parents are home and introduce myself as your boyfriend if you want."

Sakura shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she did so. "I wish you could." she whispered, hating her parents for the umpteenth time since her relationship with the blond started. They were old fashioned and she was already engaged to be engaged to someone named Uchiha Sasuke; someone she had never even met and thus didn't even know. She was simply expected to become his bride once she finished high school. Of course none of her friends knew these things and she knew that if they did know of her and Naruto it would only be a matter of time before her parents found out and sent her away. She was forced to live a life of secrets.

Naruto pulled back to kiss her tears away and she knew it was moments like this that solidified her love of the blond, far outweighing the frustration she felt at having to live a double life. She smiled before he kissed her gently, waiting for her to press back before he slid his tongue across her lips, asking for permission to enter her mouth. She obliged and they began a slow passionate duel to decide who loved who more, a duel that always resulted in a draw.

When they pulled apart Naruto buried his face in the crook of her neck and shoulder, tempted, always tempted, to leave a hickey or something to show the world that she was his. Instead he groaned as she ground her pelvis against, him burying his face further and tightening his hold on her waist. She continued for a while before he pulled back, panting. "Where's the condom?" he asked, gripping her hips mid thrust so as to stop her for he knew she would continue otherwise.

Sakura reluctantly got on from her position on his lap and headed towards her desk, where she grabbed the item in question before turning to walk back only to stop halfway back.

Naruto stared at his love for a second with an eyebrow raised, watching as she opened the condom before turning and throwing it out the window, quickly doing the same with the second. "Sakura?" he called, watching her face closely. She merely walked up to him, smiling tearfully as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.

"Will you accept responsibility, Naruto?" she asked timidly; nervous and scared but trying her hardest to remain in control and appear calm.

Blue eyes widened in surprise when he understood what she had just asked. She wanted to know if he would accept responsibility if she got pregnant from the unprotected sex. She wanted to know if he would accept her if her parents disowned her. But more importantly she wanted to know if he would accept the entirety of her love and return it.

Sakura almost cried when she felt his hand pull back from her stomach, but she couldn't hold back her sob when he wrapped his arms around her, burying his face in her chest.

"I would never let anyone else have that privilege, babe." he stated, staring her straight in the eyes, gaining him the happiest smile he had ever seen on her face, along as one of the most beautiful.

"I love you, Naruto. So, so much." she sobbed as she hugged him. The blond merely smiled.

"Not as much as I love you, Sakura." Naruto replied before leaning back onto her bed, pulling her with him.

"I've been looking for that shirt." Naruto said as he sat next to Sakura on the couch, having just come out of the shower. Said girl, wearing said shirt, was combing her hair, having left the same shower a few minutes earlier. "Where was it?"

Sakura smiled as he grabbed the control and turned on the T.V. "In the third drawer, under all the socks." she said, before she set her comb on the side of the couch. "Its kind if small, though, how long have you been looking for it?"

"Since I was fourteen." he answered, his arm making it's way around her shoulders to pull her closer, making her turn to him, eyebrow raised.

"You have clothes that old?" she asked, gaining a sheepish smile from the blond. "We're definitely going to have to sort through all of it one of these days." she said, making him groan. She went on about how it was a waste of space to keep such old clothes that didn't fit, as well as how they could donate it all to people who needed it.

Of course she failed to mention how some of her favorite clothes were some of his old clothes, like some of his old boxers which she still wore to bed sometimes, and his jacket from when he was sixteen and they had started going out, secretly. And now the shirt, since it fit her so perfectly.

Naruto merely smiled as he listened to her go on about other stuff they needed to do and get now that they lived together, content with how things had turned out.

Sakura hadn't gotten pregnant from their first time going without a condom, but seeing as how it would have been too soon to tell when she had confronted her parents he doubted it mattered. It had been the mere fact of what she had done, and been doing for over two years, that had caught their attention. She had told them that she wasn't some object to be given to whomever they pleased and that if they didn't approve she would leave. Furious and calling her bluff they had told her to leave. Their surprise as she grabbed her things and walked out of the house into Naruto's waiting car was priceless.

She'd barely made it out of the driveway before her mother apologized and pleaded with her to stay. Only after their promise that they would call of the arranged marriage was it that she stayed. At least until she finished high school.

"Naruto, are you listening to me?" Sakura questioned when she finished, hitting him lightly on his chest when he mumbled a ,'Huh.'

"Sorry, Sakura, just admiring how good you look in my old shirt." Naruto murmured as his arm around her shoulder pulled her on top of him, earning him a squeal.

"Naruto, we just took a shower!" she reminded him with a squeal, figuring she didn't have to remind him they'd just had sex in aforementioned shower. Sometimes she wondered where he got all of his stamina. Her train of thought however was broken when he sucked on her neck, trying to give her a hickey atop the bite mark he'd left her in the shower.

"But Sakura, showers exist so we can get dirty and clean and dirty again." he reasoned, whispering against her ear causing a shiver to run down her spine.

And when he felt her arch into him slightly as he pressed his arousal against her, he knew he'd won.

The End...?

Author's Note: So what do you guys and gals think? This particular one-shot has been begging me to write it forever. I wrapped it up quickly at the end because the song I was listening to at the time was a fast rock song and made it hard to focus on details. My style tends to shift depending on what I'm listening to. Either way I plan on writing more one-shots if I get stuck on my other stories so expect more.
