If I own Naruto. I will not be here.

"

Come on!" yelled Naruto as he pounded on the door of his teammate and friend Sakura Haruno. "Come on Sakura! You said yesterday you will have breakfast with me!"

All that answered him was a muffled coming as the door cracked open. Naruto saw Sakura's green eyes peek out from behind the door.

"Sorry Naruto. I can't hang out with you today." Sakura said from behind the door.

"What?" Naruto asked with slight confusion. "But you said if I woke up early and come get you. We could go to Ichiraku's."

"I said I would yesterday but something came up."

"Pleaaassseee?" Naruto asked with biggest pair of puppy dog eyes that he could muster. Sakura sighed at him by getting his way.

"Alright you win. Just wait here so I can get ready." Sakura replied as she closed the door.

You now this is a very bad idea said Inner Sakura.

"You think I don't know that?" snapped Sakura to her subconscious.

"Plus you know I can't say no to that face." she said as she checked herself in a hallway mirror.

Inner Sakura just grumped.

Just don't say I didn't warned you. Inner Sakura said before going back to the deeper side of her mind.

Sakura sighed as she opened the door and walked outside. After make sure the door was closed Sakura turned to Naruto.

"Ok. Lets go." she said as she walked down the street. Naruto tilted his head at her in slight confusion.

"Why are you wearing your headband like that?"

Instead of wearing the Ninja head band like a hair band like she normally did, Sakura was wearing hers like most Ninja did but even lower. That having the headband tied directly to her forehead.

"Oh. Just wanted to try something new. That's all." she said with a wave her hand to dismiss the idea. "Come on let's go before they ran out ramen." said Sakura grabbing Naruto by the ear as they walked down the street to Ichiraku's.

The walk to the well known Ramen shop was quiet, too quiet even. Sakura just stared at her feet with hands behind her back. Naruto was walking beside her taking quick looks at her.

"She hiding some thing..." thought Naruto. Finding that his pink haired companions silence out of the ordinary. "But what is she hiding?"

He rubbed his chin thinking of the possibilities as to what was bothering his pink haired friend.

"Hhmmm maybe a tattoo? No that's not it. Oh maybe a pimple? No Sakura's too clean for that. What else could it be?" Naruto thought.

A big fox like grin showed up on Naruto's face. The one that only showed up ever if Naruto was about to prank someone.

"Well there is only one true way to find out." Naruto thoughts with a small laugh.

"Hey Sakura!"

"Mmm?" Sakura said as she turned her head to look at Naruto.

But before Sakura could say or do anything Naruto ripped her headband off her forehead. Sakura covered her forehead with her hands but it was to late. Naruto had all ready saw them!

On Sakura's face were two big pink fuzzy eyebrows!

Naruto face went slack with complete shock. Then he cracked up laughing. He grabbed his sides and fell to his knees, doubling over with laughter.

"What haha did haha you…."

Naruto was laughing so hard, he could not even finish his sentences. He was still on the ground when he hear a cracking sound. Naruto looked up to see Sakura. She had one hand covering her eyebrows as the other was cracking each individual finger to form a fist.

"Naruto." she said with such venom that is caused Naruto to stop cold.

"Hee..." was all Naruto said before trying to get a way from Sakura but was quickly grabbed to be only drug into a alley to get the punishment he deserved.

After Sakura beat up Naruto and Naruto stopped screaming like a little girl, she let him go and walked back toward the city street. Sakura looked at herself in one of the alleys windows. She tried licking her fingers to smooth them out but they just popped right back at her. Sakura was still at it when Naruto walk over to her rubbing the top of his head.

"You didn't have to hit so hard." whined Naruto.

"You're lucky that now one saw me or you'll really will be hurting!"

Sakura waved a shaking fist at him.

"Ok ok." said Naruto with hand up in defense.

Sakura sighed and went back to looking into the window.

"So were you born with those thing or what?" asked Naruto.

"No." answered Sakura in hopes that he would drop the subject. But sadly he didn't, nor did he get the hint.

You know he'll just keep asking till you tell him said Inner Sakura.

The real Sakura groaned to this.

"If you most know," said Sakura "When I was six a lot of kids make fun of my big forehead. So I tried growing out my hair to hide it but growing out hair takes too long. So I snuck in to my granddad's bathroom and took some of his rapid hair growth formula. I applied some to my head in hopes to make my forehead look smaller with longer hair. It worked but I didn't know it would do the same thing to my eyebrows. My fainted when she saw them. So she takes me to see a hairstylist every month to get them plucked and waxed."

"So why didn't you go this time?" asked a very confused Naruto.

"Because someone made me late for my appointment last night because they kept asking me to go out with them for breakfast!" hissed Sakura.

Naruto scratched the back of his head and said sorry with a sheepish grin.

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

"I tried!" Sakura said as she grabbed her big eyebrow and try to yank them off but they didn't want to come off. After a few more minutes of fighting with her eyebrows, Sakura sighed in defeat and went to the end of the alley to grab her headband and tied it back on.

Naruto followed her the very more carefully.

"You know what you need?"

Sakura eyed him with a very pointed expression.

"What?" asked Sakura now annoyed with how the day was going.

"Ramen!" yelled Naruto before grabbing Sakura and ran out of the alley and to Ichiraku's.

"Don't worry about it, everything will be fine," Naruto said as he looked back at Sakura. "There will be now one there."

I hope so... Inner Sakura said with a sigh.

Ichiraku's was packed.

"How many times have you be here this early?!" asked Sakura in a very angry voice.

Naruto opened his mouth to answer but closed it when he didn't have a answer.

"You dunce!" yelled Sakura advancing on him. Naruto made eep sound and dove deeper into the ramen shop.

We are so going to hurt him for this. said Inner Sakura.

"Agreed," thought Sakura. "But we might as well get something to eat."

As Sakura made her way toward the ramen bar, she couldn't help but notice just how many people were in the small shop. She kept getting pushed around and shoved as people made their way towards their tables.

"Why are there so many freaking people here!?" thought Sakura.

Look to your left, that menu board will tell you. Inner Sakura stated.

Sakura looked to her left and saw the board. It read in big black letters:

Breakfast Special: Ramen is half off!

"Oh that . . ." But before Sakura could finish her thought she was violently pushed in the back. Sakura couldn't even turn around and give the person a piece of her mind (plus a few good hits). The sound of metal hit the floor could be heard. Sakura looked to the floor with fear as she saw her headband. "Maybe no one is looking at me." Sakura hoped as she looked up. Everyone was looking at her.

She could feel her eyebrows twitch from all the attention she was getting. Meanwhile Inner Sakura was having a break down.

Oh No! shrieked Inner Sakura as tears ran down her face in waterfalls.

We now have to move to a new village and change our names!

Sakura only pushed her deeper into her mind and tried to think of a way out of her predicament.

A voice was soon heard above the noise.

"Hello Sakura-chan! You are looking quite lovely on this youthful day!"

Sakura looked behind her to see the owner of the voice knowing just who it belonged to. There at the ramen bar was no other than Rock Lee.

He was give her his Nice Guy pose which included a signature smile that he only picked up from Might Gai himself. Sakura gave him a small smile as he made his way towards her.

"Thanks but I'm not in a good mood right now nor with looks either."

"What are you talking about, I meant every word!"

Lee turned to address the crowd.

"Does any one disagree?" asked Lee. No one would or wanted to disagree with green clad taijutsu master. So only a few said no before they went back to what they were doing.

"Wow," thought Sakura. "And here I thought I was going to become the new laughing stock."

As Lee turned back around and gave Sakura one of his nice smiles.

"See no one here disagreed with me."

Sakura just smiled.

"Thank you Lee but just look at my eyebrows."

She pointed to them to emphasize her point. She even realized that her eyebrows looked much like Lee's.

Lee looked at her with slight confusion.

"What? I think they look like two Sakura petals on the reflection of the moon."

Sakura raised her said "Sakura petals" in shock.

"That was sort of sweet," thought Sakura with a light blush. "In a strange but cute kind of way."

What! gasped Inner Sakura. He just said you have….What is he doing?

Sakura found Lee's hand reaching out toward her face. Before she could ask what he was doing, he started to gently brush his finger tips over one of her eyebrows.

"Wow this actually fills really nice, who would have thought that getting your eyebrows touched felt so nice." thought Sakura as she relaxed under Lee's touch.

"They even feel like Sakura petals." Lee said softly.

This made Sakura blush even more.

You know he's not that bad in looks. He may be even considered hot. Inner Sakura piped in.

This time it was the real Sakura to be surprised.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked her inner voice .

Just take a look at the guy stroking your eyebrows.

Sakura took a closer look at Lee as he was distracted by her eyebrows. For the first time in years, she was beginning to see what a couple of years of training under Gai truly meant. She easily saw the toned stomach, the well sculpted muscles under the green leotard, and not to mention the sudden growth spurt which made Lee look really tall and lean. As she looked even closer at Lee, she saw he even had a light tan.

"Now that's what all the training does to him." mused Sakura.

She suddenly found Lee's voice shattering her inner ogling.

"Sorry Lee could you repeat that?"

He merely smiled at her noticing her lack of attention.

"I asked if you would like to join me for breakfast?" Lee asked once more.

A smile broke onto Sakura's lips but she remembered her reason why she was there in the first place.

"I would like to but I came here with Naruto." said Sakura feeling a little sad. "Maybe you can eat with us?"

"I will most like that." answered Lee.

Sakura heard her name a little off to her right showing Naruto's sudden appearance.

"There you are." Sakura said as she and Lee pushed there way over to him.

"Yeah," replied Naruto. "Sorry about this Sakura but I got to go now."

Sakura just looked at him can't believing just what she just heard.

"Are you sure? If you want I could leave if thats the case."

"No that's alright. I just remembered I have something to do." Naruto quickly said before he leaving. Sakura kept looking at him as he left but decided that Naruto was just being Naruto.

"Well than shall we?" asked Lee as he waved a hand toward the ramen bar.

Sakura nodded as they walked up to the bar as two people left. Lee even pulled out one of the bar stools for her. She managed a thank you before sitting down. Ayame, the Ramen shop owner's daughter, came over just when Lee sat down. Lee ordered the Tantanmen Ramen as Sakura ordered the Tonkotsu ramen.

As Ayame left with their orders Lee turned to face Sakura.

"If I can Sakura, I would like to pay for your order Sakura-chan."

Sakura instantly felt her cheeks turn red.

"Oh you don't have to do that."

"I insist. I know you are a strong and capable self-sufficiency woman but as a youthful gentlemen I feel it is my duty to pay for your order."

This just made her blush turned even redder.

"Okay." Sakura replied in a feeble whisper.

After talking to each for a few minutes Ayame came over with their orders. Sakura glanced over at Lee before she started to eat.

"Do you really think my eyebrows don't look bad?"

Lee smiled another signature smile at her.

"No I don't think they are bad. They are actually are smaller than mine," he said turning his gaze over to her. "Plus I think you look even more beautiful with them."

Sakura gave Lee a big smile and a small kiss on the check. Lee immediately turned his head and with a growing blush ate his ramen .

"Maybe I will be late for my next appointment after all." thought Sakura as she turned and began eating her ramen.
