At Naruto's touch Anko started to stir slightly. She let out a soft yawn and started to stretch.
"Anko-chan time to get up." Naruto said softly as he kissed the top of Anko's head.
"Hmm five more minutes." Anko said in a tired voice as she buried her face into the crook of Naruto's neck.
"Alright my sexy snake." Naruto said as he hugged Anko close to his chest.
After a few more minutes in each others embrace, Anko reluctantly got up. She let out a soft moan of disappointment as Naruto's shaft slide out of her.
"Last night was amazing Naruto," Anko said with a smile. "You made me feel so special."
"It's because you are special to me Anko. Each of you girls has something special that I love about you."
Anko smiled, but it turned to a frown when she looked at herself and Naruto.
"Come on gaki let's wash up." Anko said as she grabbed Naruto's arm and led him into the shower.
After cleaning each other up, Naruto and Anko were now in the kitchen. Anko sat at the table and watched as Naruto raced around the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"I never saw Konan, where do you think she is?" Anko asked as Naruto cracked a few eggs and put some bread in the toaster.
"Konan-chan is so busy at the academy, that she often sleeps there. She even has a cot set up in one of the storage rooms," Naruto said with a chuckle. "I swear Sakura-chan and her work themselves to death sometimes."
"Yeah I Sakura looks like a zombie sometimes after her shifts." Anko said as a few giggles escaped her lips.
"I know it worries me sometimes, but I know it makes her happy to save lives." Naruto said as he placed a plate of food in front of Anko.
Anko looked at the plate of scrambled eggs and toast.
"Huh a meal fit for a bachelor." Anko said with a grin.
"Hey I may not know how to cook many things, but what I can cook is really good," Naruto said with a pout before he started to eat. "Besides Konan-chan has been doing a lot of the cooking lately.
She's actually an amazing cook." Naruto said as his mouth started watering as he thought of Konan's cooking.
Anko just rolled her eyes and took a bite of her food. Her eyes widened when she tasted it. They were the best tasting eggs she had ever eaten. Immediately she started to scarf down the food.
Seeing this caused Naruto to burst out laughing.
"HA! Told you I can cook!" Naruto said with a grin.
After a second helping of eggs Naruto and Anko sat at the table drinking some tea and making small talk.
"So what are you gonna do today?" Anko asked as she sipped her tea.
"I don't know. If the girls don't try and jump me, I was gonna go and visit Ino-chan. What about you?"
"I have to go and help Ibiki with a few things," Anko said as she finished the last of her tea. "So why do you want to see Ino?"
Naruto let out a sigh before he started speaking.
"It's just that out of all you girls, Ino-chan and I have had the roughest past interactions. I know she wants to try and make up for all the times she was mean to me. But I don't want her to feel like she's obligated to love me.
I truly love and care for her, and I want to show her that."
Anko smiled at Naruto's words. She could tell that he meant everything. He truly did love and care for them all.
"But before I visit her there's something I have to tell you Anko-chan."
"What is it Naruto?" Anko asked the seriousness in his voice surprised her.
"It has to do with the marks on your arm."
Anko snuck a glance at the two rings on her arm.
"Yeah what about them?"
"What I'm about to tell you is pretty big news. Are you ready?"
"W-What are you d-doing here, Naruto-kun?" Ino said as she recovered from the kiss.
"Well I wanted to come see you, and I wanted to see if I could help you out around the shop for a bit. You know some alone time, just between us."
Ino's blush deepened when she heard Naruto wanted to spend some time just with her.
"Sure Naruto-kun, I would love to spend some time with you. I was just about to go out back, and plant some new seeds." Ino said as she started walking towards the back door.
"That sounds great Ino-chan, it's been awhile since I've done any gardening." Naruto said with a smile as he followed Ino.
Ino handed Naruto a pair of gloves, and told him what seeds to plant and where to plant them. He immediately nodded and got right to work. They made small talk, gossiped, and even cracked jokes while they planted the seeds.
Ino was amazed at how different Naruto was when he was gardening. He seemed calmer and much more patient, and he was much quieter. She watched as he diligently and gently planted each seed.
She smiled as she watched her boyfriend, it was still a little strange for her to think of him like that. But then her smiled turned to a frown, as she thought back to how she used treat him.
She had to make it up to him somehow. She loved Naruto, she realized that fully now, and wanted to do everything in her power to make up for her past sins.
Ino was so caught up in her thoughts, that she didn't notice Naruto staring at her. A frown was on his face, as he saw the pain and regret in Ino's eyes. He quietly took off his gloves and walked over to her.
By the time Ino noticed Naruto he was already kneeling in front of her.
"Naruto-kun what a...mmmm" Ino was cut off when Naruto cupped her cheek and pressed his lips to hers.
