"Naruto..." Sakura called softly as she entered her room. She frowned slightly when she saw that Naruto had set up the cage she had bought for him and was already in it. She knew he didn't like the idea of sleeping in the cage... Even though as his master she should be glad that he did so without her having to tell him, as his girlfriend she knew he shouldn't be doing that unless she told him to.

Naruto didn't respond to her, but he did give her his attention. Sakura stripped down into just her bra and panties and turned off the lights. She then got underneath the covers of her bed. She was glad to see a pair of sapphire eyes still fixed firmly to her. Sakura smiled at him and patted a spot next to her on the bed.

"Come here Naruto." Naruto obeyed, but there was no smile on his face. Before he could get into bed with her, Sakura held up a hand to stop him. "Strip before you get in here, I know you prefer to sleep in your boxers when you can."

Again no response, just silent obedience. Naruto crawled into the bed, and as soon as he laid down Sakura turned and wrapped her arms around him.

"Tell me what's wrong." Sakura ordered gently. She knew what was wrong, but she wanted to hear Naruto say it first."

"Nothing Mistress."

"Sakura. Call me Sakura right now Naruto. Tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing Mistress Sakura."

Sakura frowned. He appeared to be retreating fully into the role of a slave, Ino's words had really shaken him.

"You don't think I will ever truly be with you, right?" Sakura asked softly causing Naruto's eyes to widen in surprise.

"How did..."

"I'm getting better and better at understanding how that brain of yours works Naruto." Sakura answered. "So I'm right then..."

"This is just impossible Sakura, I'm inferior to you... I'm inferior to..."

"You're inferior to no one." Sakura interrupted with a gentle smile.

"Stop lying to me, I'm a slave, I'm..."

"My boyfriend." Sakura interrupted again. "I will not allow anyone to treat you as if you're trash, nor will I ever again. You're my Naruto. I made Ino worship my feet today to show you how much I value you. And I know that you think I'm just saying this to make you feel better... and well you're right, I am. But it's the truth Naruto."

"Please stop lying Sakura-chan."

Sakura sighed. She wasn't surprised her words had failed, so she decided to let her actions do the speaking. She tightened her grip on Naruto and brought his face down into her chest. She felt a little inadequate at the knowledge that about 24 hours ago Naruto's face had been in a much larger pair of breasts, but she wanted him to feel better, so this was work the self doubt.

"Sakura?"

"What is it Naruto?"

"What are you doing?"

"What, don't like sleeping with your face in my tits? Are they not big enough for you? Sakura teased. The rational part of her knew that Naruto loved every inch of her body.

"What? No, your boobs are perfect Sakura--chan!" Naruto hastily replied

Sakura kissed the top of Naruto's head. "Well I'm glad you like them. Now why don't we go to sleep? We can talk about this all in the morning after we've both gotten a night's sleep."

"Ok Sakura-chan." Sakura smiled as she felt Naruto snuggle into her breasts more and laid her chin down on the top of his head. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
