Huh. I've been here for two years. I wonder if I should celebrate it. Maybe...

Let's see.

But if you leave I won't see you again.

Oh. I meant, like, any hero. Not me! Lots of people can use fire moves, right?

[Rereads what he wrote.]

...and have my name.

shinobi filter; 1/2 you bet your ass she came to ruffle his hair there

[betterthanthen]

You're so cute sometimes.

[betterthanthen]

Naruto's more of a hero here. His stories are probably the best.

I'm mostly in the hospital. Although...you wanna hear one?

Saaaakuuuuraaaa! [He's been meaning to get around to the serious discussion of why he is far too old to be 'Obito-chan'.]

You kidding? You fought one of the Akatsuki, you're totally a hero too! YES, I'm even sitting comfortably and everything.

and hell, a bit of action before mommy and daddy go out dancing

[betterthanthen]

What? [She laughs and drops herself on the couch beside him, dressed up and everything.] Well, when the leader of the Akatsuki attacked Konoha, Naruto wasn't around. It was all so chaotic, people running around and everything.

I was heading towards the hospital to help, but there was this little girl in the road. And this giant, huge catepillar-like monster that that guy could summon was like, heading straight at her!

action; he'll try and wait up for them and fall asleep on the couch

[keepinganeyeout]

[Smiling because Sakura looks pretty done up and she deserves a night out. But is quickly distracted from compliments by tales of shonen action!]

Whoa! Did it have rows and rows of teeth? Or was it all slimy and disgusting? I didn't even know there were summons like that!

action; d'aw. they'll carry him to his own bed

[betterthanthen]

[Boys and the gory details. Pshaw, he wouldn't last a day in the hospital.]

I wouldn't know, I didn't pay him much attention. Instead I jumped in front of the girl, charged my fist with chakra. [She even demonstrates, hand forming a fist and chakra flowing to it.] And then punched it straight in the face. K.O., dead, that's what it was.

action; :3

[keepinganeyeout]

[Completely caught up, staring at her fist.]

In the face! [Miming this action himself to an imaginary monster.] Sakura, you are the coolest kunoichi ever! So the little girl was ok?

action; <3

[betterthanthen]

[Shakes her fist until the chakra's gone.] Oh yeah, I healed her up right after. Not a bruise.

action; <3

[keepinganeyeout]

[Trying to imagine Konoha getting attacked. They'd kept the village protected during the war so far. It would stay that way too.] This story's a good one cos I know it has a happy ending. Last time Naruto came back, right?

[But he doesn't want her to dwell on when he left and get sad again. He can't bear it when she's sad. So he carries on chattering.] You got a date?

action;

[betterthanthen]

Yeah, it has a happy ending, but it's his story to tell.

[She blinks, then looks down at herself.] Oh. Yeah. [She looks at him again and throws him a wink.] Some guy I met.

action;

[keepinganeyeout]

[Slouching and putting his feet up on the coffee table, while playing along.] Not another blond? Cos I'm thinking you might have a thing about that. [There might have been the tiniest of flickers that Ino-chan has blonde hair and that would mean- LALALA NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK THAT ABOUT THE TWO GIRLS WHO ARE LIKE SISTERS TO HIM. Looking straight ahead.] You better make sure he treats you right and pays for dinner and pulls out your chair and stuff! Where you two going?

action;

[betterthanthen]

I might. But you can give him the Big Brother interrogation act, if you want. [Laughs, really amused by this, and plays along. Back straight, gaze lowered, hands in her lap.]

Just dancing.

action;

[keepinganeyeout]

[Breaks out into a grin at the thought of doing that to Naruto.] Ah, see now I know why you're not taking me along - I'd totally show this guy up.

[Cos this Uchiha has always got his groove on.]

action;

[betterthanthen]

Yeah, that's exactly why.
