[She did promise, after all, and Sakura keeps her promises. Even if Naruto's probably going to insist on calling it a date or something equally ridiculous.
She's here to help him find clothes. A nice full wardrobe, hopefully only partly orange!
So she shows up on the Uzumaki-Namikaze house's doorstep and knocks, neatly dressed and groomed herself -- after all, it might be one of his parents opening the door, and she wants to make a good in-person impression on both of them!]
[SO AFTER ALL THAT CRAZY it's a lot more quiet in the Uzumaki household than usual. No Kushina prattering on at Naruto and asking what he did today, asking how his friends are, if there's MORE she's going to be meeting soon--
Because Jiraiya-sensei's killer was one she didn't even consider for a moment. But here they were after meeting him as 'Naruto's friend' and preaching the words Jiraiya tried to teach the world. That hatred isn't the answer, that they would find peace. And when they did, they would seize it.
She plasters a smile on her face, trying to get things back to normal in their house as she sets the rice on the table with a small, tight laugh.]
Pretty eventful day today, wasn't it? Did Nagato and Konan get home alright, Naruto?
[It had been an eventful day, alright. After that, um, incident, he'd left the house with the two Ame ninjas and not come back until it was time to eat.]
[Once Kushina spoke, he let out a nervous chuckle, he still felt bad about the whole thing.
Hah, yeah, they got home just fine. Um, sorry for.. y'know. Bringing them over without telling anyone.
[After a while of hiding in the forest and then at House 44, Hinata decided that she should attempt to go back into the village for a bit. She wanted to make the cinnamon roll recipe that she got from Rapunzel-san, but she needed groceries from the store.
And no one else was around when she decided to take the trip, so she was able to breath and enjoy the time by herself.
Unless she ran into a familiar blond. She stopped in her tracks, looking like a deer caught in lamplight, considering the benefits of turning around and going back to the castle or facing her crush/friend.
He probably noticed her before she made up her mind though.]
[It's just after dawn on Saturday morning, a day or two after Sasuke's gotten back from his "mallynap." He's checked back through the network, and yeah, he noticed some things that he missed. He spent the better part of a day being pissed at himself for being bothered by it.]
[But Friday found him still bothered (still pissed), so just as the light warms up to colors from dull white the next morning, Sasuke finds himself crouched on the porch roof outside Naruto's window, rapping knuckles lightly on the glass.]
[He was still sleeping, but after having the crap scared out of him several times due to half dressed ninjas simply appearing in his room, Naruto had trained himself to react to unusual noises and tapping at his window would certainly be one of them.
Sitting up and letting out a yawn, he slides out of bed and shuffles on over towards the window. Who the hell was waking him up at this time?]
....Sasuke?
[Okay, he's suddenly a lot more awake than he was a few seconds ago, as he pulls the window open.]
[ Kakashi is late to Christmas, but that's probably not anything surprising.
A whole day late, in fact.
It took him a while to decide whether or not he was going to try doing something for this new holiday, and eventually when he did, it took him even longer to get together everyone's presents. Naruto's present was the easiest of them all -- imported ramen from the item shop and a summoning scroll that Naruto can give to someone to summon him to their location.
Instead of arriving with gifts for everyone at once, Kakashi waits till he can catch Naruto alone, and has everything wrapped in a small little green bag. ]
[ Kakashi had really been avoiding this, but he knows he really shouldn't avoid it any longer. Especially with Minato's birthday coming up. Most likely, Minato would want to have a gathering, and will be inviting everyone. Kakashi can't exactly say no to his teacher, and it's been long enough that he's left the issue unresolved.
His call to Sakura hadn't gone too terribly, so maybe the other two won't be so bad.
It takes him a while after he wraps up his call to Sakura to finally works up the nerve to send Naruto a voice message.
There's a long pause of silence in the beginning before Kakashi clears his throat awkwardly. ]
What happened hadn't been their fault, it had been happening all around the village. Even so this particular incident had been especially mortifying so he had done a good job of avoiding Kakashi until now, even though he knew they should talk about it.]
[There's a bit of a nervous chuckle as he answers.]
[She's had the talk with Kakashi, and if she can deal with having made out passionately with her sensei, she can't give herself any excuses not to talk to Naruto. It's hard -- stormy mixed emotions are a lot worse than embarrassment, in her book -- but they're team, and she'd like to think they're also friends despite all this mess. She can't leave things to stand the way they are.
So she filters a private message to Naruto, voice only at first because she doesn't know if she can stand to look him in the eye quite yet.]
Naruto... I think we need to talk. About... what happened.
[While Naruto's sleeping, Kushina sneaks into his room and places a bag of homemade chocolates on his side table. There's a little note attached to it too. It reads:
"For The Orange Hokage. Happy Valentines Day! I love you."
I made ramen tonight. I know we've both been craving it pretty badly and I promised you I would soon. Your dad doesn't like it as much as we do though, even if it is my cooking. I think after I wanted to eat it so much when I was pregnant, he's kind of tired of it.
Not as chipper, almost angry now. He's been really late before.]
Naruto, your food is on the table and getting cold. You better get home soon or I'll come out looking for you. I told your dad not to eat until you got home and I'm not either.
We're going to eat together as a family or not at all.
SOMETIME idek what is time anymore
She's here to help him find clothes. A nice full wardrobe, hopefully only partly orange!
So she shows up on the Uzumaki-Namikaze house's doorstep and knocks, neatly dressed and groomed herself -- after all, it might be one of his parents opening the door, and she wants to make a good in-person impression on both of them!]

Sakura-chan!
[He's leaning on the door frame with a big grin]
What's up? [Whoops forgotten about any possible plans...]
no subject
Hey, Naruto. You still want company for picking out some clothes?
[Or did his parents already help him out with that one? That kind of thing could be a family bonding activity, too...]

RETROACTIVE: THIS ENTIRE THREAD HAPPENED FEB 16
[night of naruto's mallynapping] voice; I'M SORRY HAHA 1/??
Naruto? Where are you? Dinner is almost ready.
I made ramen tonight. I know we've both been craving it pretty badly and I promised you I would soon. Your dad doesn't like it as much as we do though, even if it is my cooking. I think after I wanted to eat it so much when I was pregnant, he's kind of tired of it.
I'll see you soon.
2/?? YOU DONT HAVE TO REPLY
Not as chipper, almost angry now. He's been really late before.]
Naruto, your food is on the table and getting cold. You better get home soon or I'll come out looking for you. I told your dad not to eat until you got home and I'm not either.
We're going to eat together as a family or not at all.
3/??
Alright she's irritated now.]
That's it! Wherever you are, I'm going to find you! But if you reply right now and tell me where you are I might go easy on you, ya know!
4/??
ARE YOU IGNORING ME?! YOU ROTTEN KID!
5/??
A lot less angry.]
If you wanted to stay with a friend, I don't mind. You don't have to hide or sneak around. You're a young man who can make his own decisions.
I just wish you told me.
I'll put your ramen in the fridge for tomorrow, if you want it. I hope it's still good. I'll see you tomorrow.
DONE
Exhausted. Hoarse. Worried.]
