I'm a little sad it's over. I'll have to make sure to enter some more challenges. This was fun! happy.gif

U is for Undersight! --Click here to view--
It was a glimpse. That was all. An undersight. It didn't mean anything. Not really.

That was what Sakura kept telling herself, at least. It was the only way she was going to be able to face him the next day. The only way her head wouldn't explode from embarrassment.

It was Naruto's fault, really. He was the one who hadn't locked the door. It was totally his fault.

Okay, no. It was her fault. Whether Naruto locked the door or not didn't matter.

She'd still walked in on him in the shower.

All of him.

... Crap. Thoughts back.


V is for Virtuoso! --Click here to view--
How somebody who hated studying as much as Naruto did could be so good at something so complicated, Sakura would never know.

His fingers strummed faster than she could see them, and the sound that flitted from the guitar was absolutely beautiful.

A simple acoustic guitar sat on his lap as he played for her, a genuine smile on his face. The song coming from it was slow, but happy. The kind of music you'd expect from Naruto.

Sakura had no idea how he'd learned to play, or why. All she knew was how happy she was that he had.


W is for Waffle! --Click here to view--
"Blueberry's not very creative, Sakura-chan."

"It's the only kind I know how to make, Naruto."

Naruto grinned. "We'll just have to fix that, won't we?"

Sakura groaned, eyes shifting down to the batter being mixed. "This is going to get messy, isn't it?"

Naruto laughed. "If you don't make a mess, you aren't doing it right!"

"Fine. Just tell me what ingredients I need to pick up."

"Nope, you won't select the right ones. I'll have to go with you."

"... Did you just turn waffles into a date?"

"I sure did!"

Sakura could only roll her eyes and smile.


X is for Xylophone! --Click here to view--
When she'd found him, he'd been as thin as a stick, ribs sticking out like a xylophone.

Why she'd brought him home, she'd never know. He just looked so lost. She couldn't
leave him on the street.

Her parents hadn't been happy. She didn't know why. They acted like they already knew who he was. They seemed scared.

She couldn't for the life of her understand why.

He clung to her like a life line. Like she'd float away if he let go.

He never spoke.

Until one day, he did.

"Naruto. My name's Naruto. Thanks for saving me, Sakura-chan."


Y is for Yowling! --Click here to view--
The yowling was going to drive him crazy, he could tell.

He was sadder than he'd ever been.

The sound came from his brand new infant son.

Who hated him.

It didn't matter what he did. What he said. What he didn't say.

The boy hated him. That was the only thing that he could believe.

Sakura wouldn't hear it. "He doesn't hate you, Naruto. Babies are good at picking up on emotions. If you're scared, he'll feel it. Try not to be so nervous."

"I'm afraid I'll break him."

Sakura smiled sweetly, and kissed him. "You're just too cute."


Z is for Zany! --Click here to view--
"I don't know if I should trust you. They say foxes are notorious tricksters."

The fox smiled his infectious smile. "That we are." He waggled his ears, and saluted with his tail "We're also notorious lovers."

The girl blushed brightly. "You shouldn't speak to people that way."

"Not even the girl I love?"

She blushed harder. "We've spoken three times!"

"Two more times than others have given me!"

"You are going to be the death of me, you scoundrel."

The fox smirked, and stepped forward, face an inch from the girl. "A death with adventure is better than life without."
