Sakura's doorbell rang around 20 minutes later. The blond was carrying a huge sack containing all the supplies along with the pots and pans he needed to make the multiple course meal that Naruto had promised to make.

Sakura jumped off the couch and and ran to the door. She opened it and smiled big. "Hey there, Naruto-kun." She said, looking up at him.

Naruto grinned as he lowered somethings from his sack.

"Good evening, fair Sakura-chan."

Nobody said Naruto hadn't absorbed Jiraiya's corniness...

Sakura raised an eyebrow, hiding a smile. 'He says that stuff...?' She thought, trying to hold back her laughter. "Come on in... Just don't trip. If you do have a nice." Sakura said with a chuckle, moving out of Naruto's way. "Need help?" She tilted her head slightly.

Naruto shook his head as he carried the food and pots into the room.

"No, I got it... WAH!"

The blond nearly tripped as he was speaking...

Sakura ran up to him, and grabbed a couple of bags. She sighed hard. "Stop trying to show off." She muttered, looking at him.

Naruto whined, "Buuut Sakuura! Then how do I show how manly I am?"

The Sannin put the items on Sakura's kitchen table and began to sort them.

"Oh yeah, like this."

Naruto pulled her into his embrace and dipped her back, as if they had been dancing.

Sakura's eyes grew wide as she saw the ceiling. "Yeah... Right. Great way to that." She said quickly. "Give your girl friend a heart attack." Sakura sighed out, smiling big.

Naruto rolled his eyes, chuckling as he brought Sakura back up to standing straight.

"You and I both know that you like that I can do that to you, don't we Sakura-chan?"

Naruto pecked her on the lips and then released her from his embrace, returning to setting up the pots and pans for the meal he had pre-preped.

Sakura sighed. "Guess that's true." she answered him, smiling. After he pecked her she sat some of the bags down.

Naruto finished setting up the pots and pans and began to heat them. Then he pulled out his cutting board and the two fresh Kirigakure fish he had bought at the market today.

"But I'll tell you something, my jaw used to drop everytime I saw you when we were kids. Your eyes compliment your hair so perfectly, it's like looking at the first day of spring personified."

Sakura looked up at him, her eyes sparkled.
"Geh. Thanks." She said, looking down at her hands.

Naruto remembered the days in the academy, he would do anything to get Sakura to notice him, most of the time to no avail. When they were Genin, it was always about Sasuke. Same for when Naruto returned from his training trip. Naruto wondered when Sakura finally noticed him...

"Hey, Sakura? Why did you finally give me a shot to make you happy?"

Sakura sighed looking up at Naruto.
"I've... Had feelings for you too, that've been blocking for a long time... You deserve a chance." She said.

Naruto felt like shedding a tear, but Shikamaru said that men don't cry, so he refrained and continued his work.

"You have no idea how glad I am to hear that, Sakura-chan."
