Next Day, Naruto POV---------------------------------------------

"We are launching an attack on Kohona the day after tomorrow. Be ready." Gaara says to me.

"Alright. Will do. What time?"

"We will meet around 5:00 a.m. But what about that thing?"

"Oh, that? I suppose I will have to do it tomorrow sometime. I had better prepare today."

"What do you think her reaction will be?"

"She's probably been waiting. It will probably be a relief for her. But I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch."

"I really hope this works out for you, Naruto."

"I hope it does, too."

1 hour later, Naruto's POV---------------------------------------------

Crap is hitting the fan in a few days, so I need to spend as much time with Yorokobi as I can.

"Yoro-hime? Are you home?"

"Of course I'm home you big idiot! You're leaving soon, where else would I be?" She says as she slaps me upside the head.

"Thanks for that. What should we do now?"

"I was thinking of teaching you how to cook gourmet ramen. Would you enjoy that?"

"Would I ever! Let's do this!"

"You're such an idiot."

"I know that."

Timeskip to past Yorokobi and Naruto's cooking session because I know nothing about cooking------------------------------------

"That was great! You're such a great cook Yoro! But now I'm going to show you a useful skill."

"And what would that be?"

"I'm going to teach you to throw kunai and shuriken. The upcoming war is likely to be rough. I was you to be prepared for it."

"Alright. Let's go."

No POV----------------------------------------------------

Naruto and Yorokobi spent the better time of the day practicing throwing kunai, shuriken, and hand-to-hand combat.

"Flick your wrist more."

"I KNOW!" Smack. Yorokobi just punched Naruto.

"I'm trying to help!"

"IT'S NOT WORKING!"

"Try again. This time put some power into it!"

"Fine." Bullseye.

"See? You're a natural!"

"I just had a good teacher."

"One minute you smack me and the next you flatter me. You're weird."

"I'm trying to be romantic! Gosh!"

"I'm sorry! I said I'm sorry! Ow!"

"Serves you right, idiot."

"I've done nothing wrong!"

"You irritated me."

"Sorry! I was trying to be flirtatious!"

"It wasn't effective."

"You flirt in the exact same way!"

"Sh-shut up."

"Get roasted. OW!"

Naruto and Yorokobi continue on flirt/arguing for the remainder of the day. Naruto teaches Yorokobi the chakra-punch, which is the signature and go-to move for fiery women such as Tsunade and Sakura.

"I think you'd get along with Sakura."

"That kunoichi?"

"Yeah. She was almost as fiery as you. Not in a good way, though. I had a crush on her when i was young. But she liked Sasuke, and nothing really worked out because of that. I'm glad though, because if something did I never would've met you."

Naruto knew that tomorrow was the day. He was going to do it tomorrow. He had to. He was going to propose to Yorokobi.
