Naruto opened the door to see a wide-eyed Sakura staring at him with tears in her pretty eyes.

She couldn't have possibly heard that... Naruto was sure his seal was perfect, and while Sakura wasn't terrible with seals, she certainly wasn't a seal master.

"Na...Naruto..." Sakura choked out.

Shit! Naruto could see that Sakura was about to break down and cry, so he grabbed her and used the teleportation jutsu to teleport back to her apartment so she wouldn't have to break down in public.

"Naruto..." Sakura started quietly. Naruto didn't want Sakura to hear what he had to say to Tsunade because he knew she would feel bad for what she did. And even though she trampled his feelings, Naruto Uzumaki would do everything in his power to ensure that Sakura Haruno was happy.

"What shall I do now Mistress?" Naruto asked with a bright smile, hoping to distract Sakura.

"I heard everything that you said to Tsuande-sama." Sakura said, ignoring Naruto's attempt at distracting her.

"Oh? So you know I just had a conversation with her about shifting my funds to your bank accounts then huh?"

"Why are you still trying to protect me...Why don't you hate me?" Sakura asked, ignoring Naruto's attempt at a lie.

"I don't know what you're talking about Mistress." Naruto replied as he forced a "confused" look on his face. Sakura flashed him an angry scowl and punched him in the gut.

"STOP LYING TO ME!" Sakura yelled. Naruto was keeled over and gasping for air from Sakura's punch, it had really taken the wind out of him.

**author's note- for this storyline Sakura never found out about the Kyubi**

"I'm not lying Mistress." Naruto lied. He needed to convince Sakura that what she thought she heard was a trick. Tsunade said it herself, there was no going back for either of them now. Naruto was Sakura's slave until the end of time. Naruto couldn't let Sakura feel guilty about enslaving him, he needed to make her look at him as nothing more than a slave. She would be happier that way.

"YES YOU ARE!" Sakura roared as kicked Naruto upside the head sending him sprawling to the floor. Before he could move, Sakura rolled him over and pressed her sandal-clad foot down tightly against his face. "Just fucking tell me the truth already Naruto! WHY DON'T YOU HATE ME FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU?"

"I could never hate you Sakura-chan..." Naruto sighed. He didn't think that if Sakura killed him now she would feel any better, and if he kept on refusing to answer her, then she would probably end up taking his life in her rage.

"Why... I tore your fucking heart out. Why can't you hate me?"

Sakura could see a small smile tug at the corners of Naruto's mouth. "Because you're Sakura. That's why."

"THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER!" Sakura yelled as she pressed her foot harder into Naruto's face.

"Yet that is my honest answer Sakura."

Sakura's eyes softened and she let up on the pressure she was applying on Naruto's face, but she didn't remove her foot.

She stared down at him as he laid perfectly still beneath her foot.

"I don't get you Naruto..." Sakura finally said as she lifted her foot from Naruto's face. She picked him up off the ground, and placed a glowing green hand to his face to heal the damage she had done.

When she was done healing him, Naruto flashed her a foxy grin. "So we've got that all out of the way. What are your orders Mistress?"

"Your orders..." Sakura started,
