although new here... i'm a big fan of the narusaku pair for a long time now. don't know why but there's a very good chemistry between them. anyways, i like this chapter. i'm quite relieved that somehow sakura accepts that naruto has feelings for her (she was also dumbstruck, though). i'm also nervous about what she's gonna say to naruto. sai... you have my salute. thank you for opening sakura's mind and heart. haha. hope this pairing will get its happy ending.
