Hello all, I'n new to writing here so all comments are appreciated. First off, the entire story is mine and mine alone, but Naruto belongs to the origal makers, aka, not me. I don't like incomplete stories; that is stories that people fail to complete. As such, my stories that I post are already finished on my documents. Feel free to express extras, advice, and possible new chapters, and I may add it. Again, this will be a completed story, because, let's face it. Those who abandon the writing mission are scum, but those who abandon their readers are worse than that, (Version of Kakashi)

Enjoy!

Chap.1 First Encounters

Sakura's POV

The sun came out to shine on a bustling town known as Konoha. As the sun's rays radiated warmth to the earth, some shined through windows, casting a blinding light to shine in people's faces, encouraging them to wake up for the day.

One such girl was a girl who went by the name Sakura Haruno. She had pink hair that cascaded to just barely below her shoulder blades and amazing emerald eyes that reflected the mood that she was feeling. Sakura stretched out the knots and kinks in her body before yawning, a puppy-like yawn, and getting up and moving towards the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Sakura went about her morning schedule of beautifying her body with creams and perfume. Sakura admired her body with pride in herself. Her bust was a beginner c-cup and her ass was toned so that it looked small but right for her. Her daily regimen of exercise lead to developing nicely toned abs and muscles, and help her confidence rise to new heights. She had been able to finally stand up and break up with her boyfriend who had repeated tried to get in bed with her. She just wanted a guy with true emotions, not someone with none at all.

Sakura was 24 and had been working at the local hospital for two years now. She was rising up the ranks fast as she learned and mastered new medical techniques and procedures like a sponge. Right now, she didn't get paid a lot, and she sighed wondering how she'd pay her rent and her giant loan that she had to still pay for choosing to go to college. Today was one of her required days off.

As Sakura went to the refrigerator, she noticed that she was out of ice and would need it seeing as her building usually got hot during the day and she was on the fifth floor. Sakura looked down at her attire. She was currently wearing a light pink tank top that showed off some of her stomach and was a little baggy towards the chest area, but it covered up well enough, and orange shorts that were more meant for exercise than going out in. But Sakura dismissed this thought as she wouldn't be leaving the building, just running down to the ground floor to pick up ice and run back.

With that thought in mind, Sakura grabbed her ice bucket before walking out her door and proceeding downstairs. There were a couple boxes in the hallway near her door. 'Must be a new neighbor'. The procession going down was uneventful as most neighbors slept in on Saturdays and besides that fact, it was six am in the morning, she was just an early riser, as well as a night owl when she wanted to be. Sakura quickly filled the ice bucket till it was full and proceeded to haul the heavier bucket up the five flights of stairs.

As she reached her floor, her arms creaked as pain shot up to her mind telling her to let go of the bucket, but Sakura would have none of that. This was what she needed to do to further tone her muscles and perfect her body for 'Mr. Right'. Sakura laughed at this thought, it would be awhile before she got into another relationship again.

Sakura reached for her door handle and twisted the knob. Click

She twisted again. Click. Click

Her door was locked! Sakura remembered now how her key to the room was on her side table right next to the door. So close and yet so very far from her reach. Sakura placed the ice bucket in one of her hands and tried ramming the door a little with her petite body. She succeeded only in getting her shorts caught in the small crack that she had managed to open before the door's lock pushed itself back into place. Sakura yelled a little, pulling backwards with her body as she cried a little as her pinky finger got a little crushed. The shorts ripped a little, causing a rift to form between two sides of the fabric, teetering to fall down, before settling on its owner's hips once more.

Sakura cried mentally as her frustration took over. She jumped up to relieve her stress and it seemed to work; until she felt a cascade of cold objects fall down her opened top, freezing her in the process. Sakura dropped the bucket before flinging backwards at the shock. Her head hit a wooden door behind her and Sakura slowly slid to the base of the door before gripping her head in her hands and began sobbing uncontrollably.

Naruto's POV

Naruto was having a pleasant day today; he was moving to his new apartment, where he'd be staying for a while now that he was the lieutenant of the 7th precinct at police HQ. He had decided to wake up early and do the moving when everyone was asleep. Naruto grabbed the last of the boxes in his police cruiser before locking it and proceeded inside the building.

As he reached his floor, he heard a yelp of protest and after as second or two a smack on a door while ice splattered down the stairwell. Naruto jogged up the last few steps and stared in surprise as he saw a girl around his age, crying insistently as ice covered the floor from her to what appeared to be another apartment. Naruto approached the girl, intending to help out any way he could.

Normal POV

"Are you okay miss?"

Sakura looked up, with fear, sadness and confusion written in her eyes. Her face kept dropping rivers of water as she raised her head, and stopped in amazement at the fine specimen before her. In front of her stood a man around her age with blond, spiky hair and clear cerulean eyes that showed a great happiness in them. Her eyes briefly traveled down the man's body as she saw his well toned stomach and muscles and an area of accomplishment. But her eyes traveled back up to stare at the best thing she had ever seen in the world. Before her was a gigantic smile that threatened to infect her with Botox that caused her to smile a bit as a blush slowly appeared on her cheeks.

Naruto stared at the girls gorgeous face, and took in her toned body and confident appearance. The only bad sign was her pouring face, to which he smiled at her, and was glad that her tears had ceased as she looked towards him and a small, cute smile appeared on her face. Naruto cleared his throat before speaking again.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Sakura stated as she slowly stood up, before falling to the side. However she didn't reach the floor as an arm wrapped around her, keeping her safe as warmth surrounded her senses.

"You don't look so good to me."

"It's just that my door is locked and I might've hit my head a bit. I need to call the manager."

"You want to come into my apartment? You can call in there."

"Okay. That's a good plan."

Naruto took out a key before turning Sakura around and leading her slowly into his apartment, right through the door she had hit her head on. 'Figures that I hit my head on the door of my Samaritan'. Naruto laid Sakura down on his couch, before going to get her the phone. He handed it to her and she dialed the manager asking him to unlock her door. He said that he'll be up in a little bit. All this time, Sakura secretly stared at Naruto, oblivious to the fact that he was doing the exact same thing. As Sakura ended the conversation, she handed the phone back over to Naruto who accepted it before blushing and quickly turning his head away.

"What's wrong?"

"Um...Uh...Your shirt..." Naruto muttered as his head kept turning around in random directions

"What about my..." Sakura looks down and barely controls a scream as she quickly covers her top in which her breasts and hardened nipples showed past her clothing. The cold ice had made her top transparent and stick close to her.

"Here, take this." Naruto took off the jacket, which consisted of black with red lines going down the sides.

Sakura thanked him graciously accepting the offer as one hand grabbed the material and put it on, zipping up the middle to prevent any other showing of body parts.

"So...um...I didn't catch your name, it's only right to give the one you rescued your name."

"Ha, thanks for the compliment, my name is Naruto Namikaze."

"Naruto, that's a nice name. My name is Sakura Haruno."

"That's an even better name. Nice to meet you Sakura..."

Thirty minutes came by fast as Sakura found that she had a lot in common with Naruto. They both worked for the government and saving people's lives, they both had an unusual obsession with swords and Japanese kunai, and finally laughed at each other's good-natured humor and wit. The manager came and unlocked the door, and walked into the other apartment noticing the fun natured air in the room.

"Well Haruno-San, your door's unlocked now. Just remember to grab your keys next time."

"Yes, Maharishi-San. I will."

"And I see you've met your new neighbor as well. How's the move-in Namikaze-San?"

"Excellent Maharishi-San. Did you get my check?"

"Yes, I did, and you're a first to pay the rent for next month too. As for you Haruno-San, I expect you to pay up in the next few days."

"Of course, Maharishi-San."

"And with that, the manager left down the staircase."

"What was that about?"

"Oh, nothing! Sakura said quickly, a blush appearing on her face. Well, I should be getting along."

"Of course Sakura"

"It was nice meeting you, Sakura stated as she stepped back towards the door with a smile on her face."

"Same here Sakura-Chan."

'-Chan?' "Oh that's sweet Naruto." Sakura started to turn but failed to notice a piece of orange fall down her luscious legs and wrap around them. Due to this, Sakura fell back, her back on the floor, her eyes looking back at Naruto as her legs spread slightly giving Naruto a view of her panties and something else.

Sakura blushed profusely for a few silent seconds before mumbling 'sorry' and sprinting towards her door and shutting it before starring off into a dream world.

Meanwhile, Naruto stared off remembering the scene that was replaying in his mind.

'Figures that a sweet girl like her would have pink sakura flowered panties'

As Naruto walked forward, closing the door, his foot got caught on something. He looked down and sighed. Sakura had forgotten her orange short shorts on the ground with him.

Naruto picked them up and threw them in the wash. If he was going to give them back, he may as well give them back cleaner than when he had found them. That was something that Boy Scouts had taught him thoroughly.
