"Right" he said with a nod of his head.

"And...Y'know, if you ever decide to let people in, i'll try and do my part to help,"
She added.

"Alright then" he said with a nod of his head.

She turned back to the path, not speaking once more since she concluded he wasnt much of a talker.

ooc: Tony what do you think of this? Took me ages http://kurai-teh-ninja.deviantart.com/art/Temari-135532391

Naruto continued walking, not making a single sound.

(That's nice Emma. Did you draw that?)

They walked past the flower shop, which made Sakura visibly flinch as she gained speed.

ooc: yepp ^.^

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

(Nice. It's WAAAAAAYYYY better then anything I can draw)

"Thats where Ino Yamanaka works. She was in competition with me over Sasuke,"
Sakura hissed.

"Let me guess, you two used to be friends before Sasuke Uchiha came into the picture" he said.

Genin Posts : 94 Join date : 2009-08-31

She sighed.
"You got it..."
She touched at her headband.
"I used to wear a red ribbon she gave me here before i graduated,"

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"I suggest you try being her friend again" he said.

Genin Posts : 94 Join date : 2009-08-31

She shook her head sadly.
"Not with Sasuke-kun in the picture. She wont even have a proper conversation with me,"

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"Then it is simple, make her see that you don't want the Uchiha anymore. Make her see that you desire her friendship more then you desire the Uchiha" he told her.

"I...I suppose i could give it a shot,"
She nodded slowly.

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"Good" he said with a nod of his head.

Genin Posts : 94 Join date : 2009-08-31

"I dont wanna be one of Sasukes fangirls anymore.."
She shook her head.
"Its just..Ugh its so hard to explain,"

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"What?" he asked her curiously.

Genin Posts : 94 Join date : 2009-08-31

"When you've liked someone for a while, its hard to give up and let go, even if you know it'd never happen,"
She sighed.

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"Maybe so but maybe these words will help you. There will always be boys for you to like but friends....friends should be forever, they should be things you cherish, things you hold dear to your heart. What's more important? Boys or your happiness and friends? Sasuke is just another pretty face with an over-inflated ego. Looks don't mean a thing in the real world" he said to her.

Something he said struck a chord with her. She nodded again, more confidently this time.
"Yeah...Yeah, youre right, Naruto,"

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"I'm glad you see it my way" he said with a slight twitch of his lips. They twitched for a millisecond before they went back to that emotionless, blank line.

Genin Posts : 94 Join date : 2009-08-31

She caught the twitch of his lips, but said nothing about it.
"Well, your way makes sense, and it will help me in the long term,"

ANBU Root Posts : 117 Join date : 2009-08-31 Age : 32

"I'm glad" he said with a nod of his head.

Genin Posts : 94 Join date : 2009-08-31

"Thank you, Naruto. I think i've finally opened my eyes now,"
She smiled.

"Your welcome" he said with a nod of his head.
