"Yeah..." Rikku whispered winding her tail with his tightly when Naruto wrapped his around hers. "Trel read us a book that said something really interesting about it though." She closed her eyes lightly, recalling it so to quote it. "It is not important how many there are what is important is that they are all known by Name."
"Speaking of names... Who's Sakura?" Rikku twisted a finger into the strap of his tank top. The question had been bothering her since catching a very odd cartoon show with Trelweny while packing. It was Naruto... & yet it was not. It was bothering her though, the way the picture Naruto acted around the pink haired female.

Naruto let out a happy sigh, squeezing Rikku close as she said her quote. He almost didn't catch her question and he blinks his eyes, looking over to her, "Huh, what?" he says in a dumb manner, looking confused.

"Sakura." She did not quite spit the name out, though she very nearly did. "Pink hair, quick mouth, trying to get the attention of some quiet guy called Sasuke I think." Her voice quavered with emotion. "She's from your 'before' isn't she? Everything else fit. It fit what you've told me... about your village... the fiend in you..." Rikku pressed tightly against him, not sure why moist tears welled in her eyes.

Naruto blinks, not sure what was going on. One moment they are happily quiet and looking at the stars, next thing he knows, they are discussing his previous life and Sakura. "Sakura? Yea, I knew her, we were team mates...and I had a crush on her before." he says dismissively, as if it wasn't important. But then he scrunchs his face up, "But...how did you find out about that?" he asks.

"Crush?" Rikku feels her heart sink. What's wrong with me? "Oh.. it's nothing just this show I was watching with Trelweny. All about you..."
If it was nothing why was it bothering her so much? She tried to shake it away. "It's just... on the show... you were so stupid around her! But you're not stupid & it made me so mad!..." Her hands clenched into angry little fists in his fur & she growled softly.

Of course Naruto wouldn't understand why she is so mad at him, but when she says he has a show, that seems to set off his stupidness and he jumps out the sleeping bags, a hand on his hip as he seems to point at something, "I have a show!!! Ha, kiss my a** Sasuke-teme!! You may have fangirls, but I have a SHOW!!" he says loudly, looking quite pleased with himself about it, forgetting all about Rikku's question about Sakura.

She had not been particularly mad at him... but now with strands of his fur between her clenched fingers where they had been pulled out when the overexcited shinobi jumped away Rikku's anger was redirecting towards him. She sat up forcefully, green eyes blazing & fingers fiddling with the loose strands of fur still held. "But... but they make you look like an idiot Naruto!"
What the hell was wrong with him?

Naruto looks over to Rikku, his excitement over having his own show waning now and he blinks and shrugs, "That's just how I was Rikku. No one cared for me there, so I had to do what I could to have someone see me. Even if it meant acting like an idiot... he says softly, shoulders slumping.

The Al Bhed feels horrible now. "oh Ruto..." Tears of frustration& anger fall, changed by her love & compassion. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean..."
Getting to her feet she padded softly to his side & wrapped her arms round him fiercely. "It's just..." Why could she not find the words? "You mean so much to me... You're my best friend!" Her grip tightened around him & she pressed salt wet lips against the fur over the top of his tank-top. "Maybe it's 'cause I care that it bothered me so."
Yeah. Keep telling yourself that, Rikku. Ignore that it was the little monster jealousy that really stirred your fire. Ignore that you were -and perhaps are- afraid that if this Sakura came from his 'before' everything would change.
With a little smile Rikku started to place little kisses all over the shinobi. "Although... I've got to admit it was kinda fun to see something like you when you weren't there. Almost made missing you bearable. Certainly made me want to see you again even more." She whispered softly, a word spoken per kiss given.
"And I always want to see you."

Naruto felt himself almost fall into his depression, but he quickly snaps out of it when he feels Rikku wrap her arms around him and he quickly wraps his around her, holding her close. He still kinda didn't understand why she was so angry and why she even brought up Sakura. She was the past, and even if someone was able to get her as an Audio pet, he doubted he would drop Rikku just to hang out with her.
His ears droop as he sees her tears, but he quickly perks up when she starts to kiss him and he purrs softly. He blushes when she says she likes to be around him and he kisses her forehead, whispering, "I like being around you too...I miss you so much when you aren't around..."

Wondering shy she was ever worried in the first place Rikku starts to purr. "You know" kiss "even when" kiss "the cartoon" kiss "shows you" kiss "acting like" kiss "an idiot" She gives him a double kiss to take the sting from her words. "All that" kiss "You are" kiss "Your sweetness" kiss "and kindness" kiss "and everything" kiss that makes" kiss "you great" kiss "still shows through."
She gazed up at him in adoration, then tilted her head & grinned in a silly way. "You're still cute, you know that?" She nuzzled his "whisker" marks playfully. "It's a good show... "
"But I've done enough to mess up our show... come back to bed?" Green eyes pleaded gently.

Naruto blushes deeply as she kisses him and talks to him and he is glad she doesn't seem angry about it anymore. He runs his hands up and down her back as he smiles softly, chuckling when she still found him sweet, even in his own show. He nods to her when she asks him to come back to bed, "Sure thing, it's getting late anyway." he whispers and he takes her hand to lead her back to the sleeping back, letting her get in first before sliding in behind her.

"It's not that late." She teases, waiting for him to join her before snuggling against Naruto once more. "But it would be nice to watch the sunrise." with you.
Turning her gaze back to the stars Rikku sighed. "They're even prettier now that the fire's died down. & that moon... it's nearly full. I guess we'll be locking up Remy again this week."
She was just talking to hear herself speak again. In part, she was trying not to kiss him -attempting this 'just cuddle' thing again that Trel talked up.

Naruto looks back up at the stars, noting that Rikku was right, there seemed to be alot more out now. He wraps an arm around her as he sighs happily, but his ear flicks when she mentions locking Remus up. But he decides not to say anything, figuring it would be best just to leave it alone.

Her purr starts to slow as Rikku relaxes. "You know... Trel was right."
Flicking her tail to find his she lightly wraps them together. Sleepy eyelids droop, half hiding her green eyes.
